Taking her age into consideration, it was
the greatest performance ever made by a
t~rotting horse. Truly she is the queen of
performers II Mr.. Bonner is to be congrat-
ulated on his purchase. 1t is not known Just
what price Mr.. Bonner paid for her, but it is
put down as near $4,000. The following ac-
count Of her record-smashing race is abso-
lutely correct:
Orrin Hikok drove a running horse beside
the filly. Sunol got the word at the first at
tempt, and left the wire behind in beautiful
style. Her speed from the very start was
fast, but it was only by looking at the rum
ner that ono was able to notice how fast the
filly was really travelling. When Marvin,
who held the reins, nodded to the starter, the
running mate was nearly a furlong behind.
The quarter post was reached in 81 seconds,
and, without a noticeable decrease in speed,
the journey up the backstretch was begun.
When the half mile station was reached the
timers watches showed the distance to have
been made in LOS, and then it became a Ger.
tainty that, barring q break, the eastern
colts record would be badly broken. The
flly, never faltering, and going true as the
wind, made the turn and started for the six
furlong mark, which was reached, as the
watches showed, in 1875. Then pandemo-
mum broke loose, as the gallant young trot-
ter dashed down the straight.
Marvin felt that he was about to drive I'M
der the string a world beaten, but, fearing
that his charge might let down at the last
moment, looked around and nodded to Hikok
to bring up the runner At this the crowd
yelled all the more, and went fairly wild in
their demonstrations to help the fly keep
her courage up to the highest point. The
trotter dashed on, and soon dispelled all
doubts as to her gameness. She came like a
hurricane-so fast, indeed, that the thorough.
bred runner could not hold the pace. At the
fifteenth pole Marvin reached for his whip,
poised it in the air over the head Of the flly,
when, with an extra burst of speed, she
flashed past the judges, winner against time
in 2:101a, transferring the crown of three.
year-old supremacy from King Axtell to her
own queenly head.
Sumo was bred and reared at Governor
Stanford's famous Palo Alto stables. She is
q dark bay filly, beautifully formed, and was
foaled in 1886. She is by Ele%ctioneer, son Of
Rysdyk's Hambletonian, and sire of Manzan-
ita, 2:16; Anteo, 2:1G; Adair, 2:17L; Ante
volo, 2:l7, md twenty-four others that have
trotted in 2:30 or better. Her dam is Wax
ana, by General Benton; second dam, Waxy,
by Lexington.

maj are making the running, but the others
are close on their sterns. "Yonder he goes"
shouts Tom, the first "whip," pointing with
his crop to a field some quarter of a mile
ahead, where his quick eye has detected a
sudden movement among a flock of grazing
sheep. "Forrard! Forrard!" The trees
seem to fly past us as on we race. The we'll
trimmed hedges and honest rails are but
playthings to our excited steeds.
"War' wire! War wire!" A thrill of
horror speeds through the oncoming crowd.
War wire! War wire." All! it is too
late! The masters horse has risen at the
jump ere his rider had noticed the treacher-
GUS barbed line. He hos kneed it. Obi
horrible sight!-he turns a complete SOM
%ersault, and, with a dull thud, he
fallsl All! what a relief to see that
the master has been shot clear from his sad
die, and ere the horse has time to struggle to
his feet the nimble horseman has clutched the
bride! Thank God! they are neither of them
hurt; for see, as the horse rises, his master
vaults into the saddle, and Oh they 20 as
gayly as ever.
The gamey fox is making straight for As
ton earths, which must be a good eight-mile
point from Swimmers plantation.
The field is now reduced to dozen or so.
Miss NJ, with her faithful attendant, is still
going well. Little rs horse is still with us,
but little T. is sitting in ditch, miles behind.
Three of tie Oak Cubs lone evidently Just
about done, for he is foolishly using his whip,
and B. on the wonderful pony, still galloping
IN. These, with d couple of Young farmers
and the first "whip," are about the lot; and,
should the pace continue, we fancy our num-
bers will be still further reduced.
The masters horse hit those rails awfully
hard, SO we conjecture they must be fairly
high. Very uncompromising do they look.
We pull our gallant blown horses together
with just a touch of the "persuaders, y for it
is a chance if we get over. Crash! Bang!
Rattle! Crack Two are down and two
have refused. The others get over somehow.
Now, see the hounds lave dashed into Aston
Gorse. Only five more fields and four more
fences. Can we last out? We do not heed
the painful throb Of our horses sides; we do
not hear their labored breath or note the
streams of sweat which course down their
glossy coats as we press them on. The spurs
must be used again or we shall never clear
that staked and bound solid hedge, with per.
haps a wide ditch on the far side.

W Arr DOWN N w HAvE FUSE
There is Miss M, with her usual con-
tingent of admirers, who hang on her every
word and smile. She is as pretty and natty
as ever; and well she manages that idgety,
dapple brown, who persists in trying to put
a %forefoot into one of his mistress admirers
pockets.
Here come the Oak Farm crew, better
known in the aunt as The Oak Cubs FIVE
jolly young fellows, who live with Mr.. s.
at the Oak farm, presumably to learn the
science and practice of farming. But, as
they usually hunt four days a week, and
shoot two, we fear their knowledge of agri-
culture must be rather limited. They are
well mounted. Several are riding clean bred
horses that appear hardly w to their weight.
Hounds! Hounds, gentlemen, pleased"
The master has given the signal to move of.
The first "whip" takes the lead, and trots
through the crowd, who give way on either
side and make a clear passage for the tri-
colored beauties.
They are going to draw Tinker's Holt first,
rather a unlikely place for a find, as we
killed a cub there some three weeks ago; but
it is close at hand, on our way to the "draw''
of the morning, Swimmers plantation, and
might possibly hold a fox. We go at that

hardly a trot, which those who wish to keep
with the moving pack must adopt.
The "whips" scurry off to their points of
vantage. A minute or two the expectant,
well trained hounds stand, their muscles
twitching and tails waving, waiting the sig
nal from their master. Then "Lieu in,
beauties! Lieu in, there!" With u rush they
are over the fence and busy at their work.
"Yoi, wind him! Vol, push him up!" the
master cheers. "Yoi, over! Vol, rouse him ~

they know not why or where, but they must
be moving. The hounds voices are still
sounding, but somehow or other they don't
sound right. People are asking each other,
in excited tones, which is the best point to
make for. Only the old hands sit still and
say nothing. All! just as we expected. A
voley of whip cracks. Two painful yells.

punctual to tho minute. AS we pass the ken
nels, which are close to the roadside, we see
the old kennel huntsman, with a couple of
lightweight second horsemen who are MOUNT
ing. He catches sight of us. ''Mornin', sir!
Mornin'! Hope you'll have a good day!'
On every sido are horsemen, all coming to
join US; some making their way by bride
paths, others by byroads. One seems to be
having e little private sport oil to himself,
for he is taking q "bee line" to the meet, pop
ping over each fence as it comes. Down a
branch road, which joins oArs some 800 yards
ahead, three or four hats are bobbing up and
down. AS their owners come into full view
on the open road, we notice among them
Maj. S., Il rare old sportsman.
"Molnin', sirl Sure to be a scent!' says a
jolly old farmer, whom we have overtaken.
His fat, sleepy cob is plodding along as
though hunting was a thing he thought very
little of, but during the season he'll have to
put up with it at least two days IL week.
A sound of rapid hoof beats behind makes
us turn in the saddle. 1t is the master, on
his gray, mud splashed hack. Good morn

glowing with healthy exercise. What a seat

upright as a soldier, yet supple as a whip;
his grip Oh the pigskin is not tight, not loose,
it is that Of a finished horseman. Watch how
comfortably the blood like hack is cantering
along, its head held exactly in the right place,
and its mouth pleasantly playing with the
bits-a sure sign that the rider has good
hands.
What a number of people are out today!
Red coats, black coats, blue coats, pepper
and.salt coats; horses, ponies, cobs III don
keys-a motley throng of riders.
We will just cast a look over the pack, for
we are now among the group standing round
them. Notice how level they are-not a
coarse or weedy one in the lot. What shapely
loins, what legs and feet! Note the gamey
heads and well-carried sterns. Great punches
of muscle show up beneath their well-groomed
skins. They are like race horses highly
trained. "Thoy do their kennel huntsmen
every credit" Fit as fiddles." They're in
rare trim" 1--WE shall have to ride to be
with 'em.' We overhear such
from the good-humored pleasure-loving
group, with mutual salutations: "Mornin'l

horses bolt, but to stop is impossible. "For-r-

The hounds are out of covert; swarming,
tumbling, leaping out they come, and on
they fly. Ere the first horseman has leaped
the hedge and dropped into the field,
through which the gallant fox has made his
break, the leaders of the pack are away on
the far side, scrambling through the bars of
those stiff rails.
Now watch the "field,' Us they come over
the hedge, all sorts and sizes. What a melee,
to be sure! The hedge is fortunately low.
Miss NJ. flies it, with the chestnut abreast.
Now a horse has refused; three or four others
cannon into him. What a scrimmage! But
this flight of rails is rather stout, and there is
a gate lower down. Now only about thirty
ride straight OF the rails. The others rush
pell-mell for the gate. 1t is locked, and three
minutes will be wasted ere the gate is off its
hinges and the last of the strikers has passed
through. Three precious minutes lost, and
never to be regained.
