The oldest of these nineteen records, it
will be observed, is that of Lady Suffolk,
made in 1874. It is also the best record.
In twelve years there were but eighteen
additions to the list, and during all this
time Lady Suffolk, by virtue of her 2:26a,
was recognized as queen of the trotting
turf Flora Temple got dangerously near
her record in 1868, but it was not until
1859 that she cut the record down to 2.19a.
AT that time it was thought that her mark
would stand for all time. Now the ex-
treme record is 2:08a, and the three-year-
old record 2:104. One stallion alone, Elec-
tioneer, has fourteen 2:20 trotters to his
credit, and we count the 2:30 performers
%by the thousand During the season just
closed nearly one thousand horses made
marks in harness Of 2:30 and better.
Enormous strides have been made since
1856 in breeding and developing the trot-
ter and PAGER.
