ROBERT BONNER REJoIcEs IN SENATOR STAN
FoRD's GOOD FORTUNE

Robert Bonner was seen last evening by Tribune
reporter regarding the remarkable record on Tnesdhy
Of Senator stanfords two yearold Aron. at stochton
Cal, a kite-shaped track, trotting mile IN
10 "a.
sunol went lame in the summer and trotted ruii
mile In 05 IA, ecHpsing the peerless MAUD .
record Of . :0s "a. Both animals owned by ROD
ert Bonner Mr.. Bonner is Of the few men VINO
are unprejudced to the performances OF trotters lie
certainly is TO the totng turf what the late August
Belmont was to the running turf. lie has always
wanted the best and breeders have tried to Guido eaeh
other in the effort for supremacy with the result that
Axell sold for s1O5 900. the trotdng price, and 81
Blalse for 100000 under the hammer.
Last evening Mr. Bonner looked hale and hearty
as he did ten years ago. His regular habits and his
daily drive behind his favor1te horses (and all OF them
are favortes) give him the look OF prosperous farmer
not that Of the retired business man OF New-fork.
Mr. Bonner is content with his laurels
and il than pleased that a twOyear-od has
trotted in the unprecedented time OF 40 "a, as
he predicted years ago that the . :O3 limit would
be reached when the trottcrs properly balanced
and trained. His system has been adopted by all the
leading ti1ers- and horses should by the rules aid
down by Mr. Bonner, have steadily decreased the ex
isting records and when Sunol ros the last quarter
in 81 IA It is extremely close to the o5 limit. Mr.
Bonner says that he wishes that he could see the
trotter in two minutes before he retires. Here
senator stanford's dispatch and Mr.. Bonner's
answer:
