/ So for Cheerful, S45 for Sheridan and $40
for Sir Walter and Joker.
Starter Gamble had a hard time of it in
| getting the lot off. The chief obstacle was

| and cavorted about the track for nearly
an hour.
/ Finally the horses got away in a strag-
| Cling manner, Treat, the favorite, in the
rear, and Sheridan leading at the quarter
pole. In the stretch Treat moved up, and

Two-YEAR-oLD STALLION RECORD.
The REcoRD-UNIoN was in error yes
/ terday in stating that the time made on
Thursday by Palo Altos two-year-old
| stallion, Arion, was 2:218. The mile was
| made in just 2:2l. The reporter saw the
timers put down the fraction (2), but il
was opposite Kebir's time (2:222).
Three-quarters of a second is an infini-
| tesimal space of time, but all the same a
horse going at 2:2l gait covers a great
many feet in that time, hence it cuts a
| very important figure in q trotting
| record.
