proudest men in America were probably
Senator Leland Stanford, Sunol's breeder;
Robert Bonner, her owner, and Charles
Marvin, her trainer and driver.

Because of recent shocks in the Missis.
sippi valley the papers of that region have
begun a discussion of the question, "How
deep does the earth quaker" An interest
ing case cited has to do with the big
shake up of 1879, when at Virginia City,
New, says the st. Loui Republic, the
earthquake was not noticed by the miners
in the deeper portions of the Comstock
mines. The famous earthquake at the
same place in 1874, which shook down
chimneys, fire walls, ETC.. and cracked
every brick building in the city, was mere
ly noticed by some of the miners working
in the upper levels" but did them no
damage, not even shaking down loose
rocks and earth. The station men in the
various shafts felt it strongest, and the
deepest point where it was noticed was by
the ninth station man, who was on watch
at the o foot level, which is of course
900 feet below the surface. He said it felt
like a faint throb or pulsation of air, as
though a blast had been fired above, below
or in some indefinite direction. In some
of the Virginia City mines the shock was
not felt at all. not even by station men in
the shafts.

speed through her dam. When two years
old Maud S was held SO lightly by her
owner that he parted with her for a very
small price. Captain George N. Stone, of
Cincinnati, then secured her aud named
her after his daughter Maud. As a 4-year-
old Maud astonished the world by cover
ing a mile at Lexington, KY, in 2:l7X.
She was then sold TO Millionaire w. II.
Vanderbilt for sci 900. and Sept. IS, 1880,
she won the worlds record from st. Julien
at Chicago by trotting in 2:l03l. From
that dry until Oct. 81, 1891, a single day
excepted, she reigned as turf queen. The
exception was Aug. !, 1884, when Jay. Eye
See reduced the record to 2:l0, but the fol-
lowing day Maud trotted in 2:09% and re-
summed her sway. Her 2:0sH mile was
made July 80, 1885, at Cleveland. In 1884
Robert Bonner bought her for $4,000.
AS Maud SIS 2:0SA was made on a circular
track and Sunol's 2:OsH occurred on a
kite shaped track. the new record Is con-
hidered by many turfmen little better thar
the old, because the Kite shaped track is
without question much faster than the
circular one. On the other hand, however,
Sunol is only 5 years old, while Maud S
was IL years of age when she made heI
best record. While Sunol is probably the
greatest t~rotting machine yet produced
she will be kept busy during the next yea
defending her title against Allerton, 2:O9A
Nelson, 2:l0. and Nancy Hanks, 2;09. Tn,

looked upon as n world beaten. In 1883 she
made her debut and broke the 2-year old
recOr, by reducing WildHower's 22l first
10 2;20k and then 10 2:isX. In 1885 Sunol
eclipsed Axtells 3-year-old record OF 2.i2
by trottinR in 2:10X.
That famous and honored old turfman,
Robert Bonner, began TO fear for the
laurels OF his turf queen, Mand S. He had
loug enjoyed the distinction OF owning tho
fastest trotters on earth, Dexter and Maud
=, aud he naturally disliked the idea OF
surrendering the honor. Senator Stanford
finally consented to part with Sunol for
the remarkably low price of s4l. 900. more
out OF respect for Mr.. bonner as n turf
IMAM, 1t ia said, than for the money that
was paid. This respect was due to Mr..
Bonncr's long and unique turf career,
which has been governed by the words he
said the day 1t was known he had bought
Sunol.
II do not intend to let either Maud s or
Sumo trot over any track for money. A
gentleman, | believe. can drive good horses
without gambling with them"
After the sale Sunol remained at Palo
Alto under the care OF Trainer Marvin,
hut although She made several record
breaking attempts they failed. until n few
weeks ago, when she trotted In 2:l0 at
Stockton. In her recent successful assault
upon the worlds record, she made the first
quarter In 3lHs., the half In 1;04. the three
quarters In i:37 and the mile in 2:0sH. As
Marvin ran her under the wire six watches
agreed 90 the time. Marvin was rewarded
for his work by receiving a check for 81 0Ot
from Mr.. Bonner. In appearance Sumo
somewhat resembles a greyhound. for she
IL very thin from training. and is higher
behind than she Is forward. At the
witbers she stands 15E hands high. and at
the quarters 10 hands.
Her peculiar conformation In this respect
resembles that OF Electioueer and Maud s,
and it has long been considered a sign of
great speed. Sunol is a bay In color. aud,
while she has a handsome head. she would
never take first prize ut a beauty show.
On the contrary she seems far from pre-
possessing to the ordinary observer. She
IS not particularly vicious, but nAture and
hand training hav made her one OF tho
most nervous, high strung aud irritable

Il blacksmith who carel-ssly brushed
against her one day. The next instant he
ascertained where she carried her speed

out as IL set on "A hair trigger and lifted The
