MAUD S. TIME BEATEN.
Second,

SunoI Lowers the Worlds Record by Half
Second.
Maud s. worlds trotting record,
which has stood for years as the best
for mile, was finally beaten at Stock
ton, Cal, on the Goth, on the klteshaped
track by Senator Stanford's peerless lit
tie mare Sunol, which was sent over the
distance by Driver Marvin in the phe-
nomenally fast time of 2.0Sl. Robert
Bonner's famous mare did it in 2:0Si,
and SunoPs time is therefore half sec
ond better than the long-standing rec
ord. There were six timers brought to
bear on the mare. and as all of them
agreed there can be no doubt as to the
accuracy of the record. She went
the first quarter in 3li, half
in 1:0i fiat, three-quarters In
81, and came home strong
and scored in 2:0Si. The crowd went
wild when the time was made known.
Marvin has all along declared that Sen
ator Stanford's fleet mare would lower
the mark made by Maud s., and after
the race asserted that before many
months she would be driven the mile in
.b.iU.

gorgeous palaces to the most humble

the battle of Navarino, where, in 1877,
the combined British, French and Rus
sian fleets under Sir Edward CoGring

navies, should be celebrated with spe-
clal pOmp and significance. The occa-
SION for this special celebration was the
launching of three new Russian iron
clads, one of them the Navarino, being
a battle-ship of immense size and power.
These launchings took place in the
presence of all the foreign naval at
taches and Of crowds of people.
Among the spectators was Admiral
Count Heyden, who fought at the ia
nous battle which is being so grandiy
celebrated. The launch OF the new
naval monster was successful, and
