THE QUEENS OF rHERrURF.
Robert Bonner Descants on the Merit

Robert Bonner Descants on the Merits
of Maud 8. and Sunol.
New York, Oct. 21.-Robert Bonner's 8
eyes sparkled last night when he re-
ceived a telegram announcing Sunel's
great victory over time. He said: 81
regard Supol as the most wonderful
animal ever foaled. I hesitate to COM
pare her with Maud S., as the latter
made her record over the regulation
track. AS all horsemen know, the
kite-shaped track over which Sunol
trotted. today, is trife faster than the
regulation one. Still, it is glorious
record. To show you how much su-
perior 1 consider her to Maud S., will
say that paid $4,000 for Maud s. and
SAL 900 for Sunol. There is regula-
ton track at Stockton and Sunol
will trot over it later. but
1 think she will excel Maud SIS mar
velous speed. These two horses l re-
gard as nearly evenly matched. Senator
Stanford, from whom purchased Sunol,
has written to me that the mare will
trot in 2:06. He knows more about her
capabilities than 1 do, and he may be
right. l believe her performance of
2:19% as a three-year-old, is greater
than this, her record as five-year-old,
and 1 think every horseman will agree
with me.
"The three greatest trotters in the
world are, in my opinion, Maud S.,
Sunol and Nancy Hanks. We have not
had enough experience with the
kite-shaped track to tell what
may be accomplished on it.
Charles Marvin, Governor Stanford s
trainer and the superintendent OF his
ranch, has written to me that the kite
shaped track being new, is somewhat
slow. He says after the fall rains in a
week or so, the track will be packed and
solid, and that Sunol will reduce, per-
haps by fraction of q second, her pres
ent magnificent time.
"Maud S. is now breeding, but 1 be-
lieve that when she is in perfect con-
dition and in good training, she can
trot in about 2:07. l believe also that
Sunol can equal her on regulation
track. will bring her East about No
vember l, and will jog her on the roads
for while. In the spring l will have
her put in training to beat the record
over regulation track"

Associated Press Dispatches.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Oct. 21.-Thou-
of empty pocketbooks were carried away
from Cumberland park this evening.
Direct, that matchless California PAGER,
had shown Hal Pointer his heels with
ease in three straight heats. The time
of the second heat was the best ever
made in race in harness, lowering
Pointers record half second.
In the first heat Pointer had the pole
and held it until the quarter, when Di-
rect, who had been on almost even terms
with him from the start, made mag
nifcent squirt and pulled away. The
second heat saw Direct at the pole, and
he held it throughout. The best Pointer
could do was to stay abreast up to the half
mile, when Direct gradually drew away.
The last heat was repetition of the
others.
The time by quarters was: First heat,
32s4, / :0514, 1889, 2l0. Second, 80 "a
:04114, l 1864, 2:O9A. Third, 321@, l :05,
:381S, 2:11.
1t is believed by many that Direct

heat had Pointer pressed him more
closely. Pointer was big favorite in
the pools, on the first heat selling at
500 against $50 for Direct. The betting
for the second heat was not materially
changed, but the third found Direct
selling at $40 against So for Pointer.

MORE RECORDS BROKEN.
+ he Remarkable Performance of b,
Bird and Arions

T he Remarkable Performance of Bell
Bird and Arion.
STOCKTON, CAL, Oct. 21.-Two more
worlds records were broken on the
Stockton track today.
The Palo Alto yearling Bell Bird,
driven by Marvin, went against her
record of 2:27 "a, and made a mile in
1864. Her quarters were: 371a, 1 IA,
:51, 1864. The tilly did not make a
skip in the mile.
Marvin then drove Arion, by Elec-
tioneer, two years old, against his record
of :143l, and made mile without a
skip, finishing wonderfully strong in
2:1415. His quarters were 3415, / :07,
1:41I, 2:1415. All the timers agreed,
and veteran horsemen said the record
would never be beaten by any other
horse. Orrin Hickok said he never be-
fore saw such game finish. He added :
s'That is the horse that will make two
minute work if any horse ever does"
Palo Alto came out lame, but warmed
up well, and went against his record OF
2:1214. He made a mile in 2:11M,
lowering his record one second. His
quarters are: 3314, 1:05A, 1891
2:11I. Some watches made it 2:ll,
and two timers were a shade over 2:l1 (,
80 1T was called 2:l1M.
A number of other horses also went
against the records. Following are the
principal ones:
Valencin's Sid Fleet, a 2-year-old,
made 2:261a in match race.
The Palo Alto mare Norhawk, record
2:271a, made 2201S.
Frou Frou, a yearling by Sidney,
went in 2:41.
The meeting adjourned until next
Saturday, when Sunol will probably
start again. The mare will remain in
Marvin's charge another month.

SAN Francisco, Oct. 2l.-The fight be-
tween the Australian, Billy Maber, and
Billy Mahan, of San Francisco, at the
Occidental club, tonight, was declared
off by the directors. Both men were
present, but as Maber had recently re-
covered from fever, he was examined
tonight by physician, who declared
him unfit to fight. Maber was greatly
disappointed, and declared that he was
able to fight. This is the second match
forfeited to Mahan by Maber on account
of illness,
Maber met Mahan outside the ring,
and, through his hacker, posted $100 at
once to fight Mahan at any time. He
also offered to 60 out and fight any
where for 500. Mahan declined the
proposition on the ground that it was
illegal to fight outside of an organized
club, and that as the physicians de-
cided that Maber was in no condition,
he (Mahan) refused to meet him at all.

Determined to Die.

Last Friday in Baltimore Chas. Seibert tried
to kill himself by cutting his throat with a
razor. At the hospital the wound was sewed
up against Seiberts will. he refused to go to
bed. and was treated while sitting in chair.
Immediately after the operation he tore off the
bandages and reopened the wound by using
torce. The doctors again sewed it up, which
the would-be suicide Saturday night tore open
second time For :hird time the doctors
closed the cavity and then took the precaution
TO prevent him from taInpering again with the
wound.
Seibert avows his determination to die, and
the doctors think he will eventually succeed.
The rian is undoubtedly crazy.

RAINMAKERs FAIL.
The Experiments Recently Tried at II Paso
Did Not Succeed.


So far as Ell Paso and its ncighborhooj il
concerned the rain-making experiments by the
recent government party failed to produce 6
single drop Of rain. Tho barometer was high
when the firing began on Friday. and ii wa,
even higher Saturday morning. The relative
humidity was very small and grew less and iess
all day.
Every one was disappointed, and none more
so than the members Of the government expe-
dition. They do not believe, however, that the
theory is wrong. but that the conditions for
making rain were too unfavorablc for even old
Jupiter PlIvius himself to wiring out drop.
But if it did not rain IN Ell Paso it certainly did
rain to the east, south and north OF the city.
Heavy rains fell Saturday morning in Chihua-
hua and Demung. About hundred miles TO the
east the rain fell in torrents
The meteorological experts claim that some
OF these rains were undoubtedly caused by the
Is impossible to know whether this is or not.
The gentlemen who are from the country near
Corpus Christi said that tho fact that no rain
fell Mt Il Paso did not Mt all shake their faith
IN the theory, and they would give the rain
making expedition rousing welcome this
week when they went to southern Texas.
Kings rancho, near Corpus Christi will be
the scene of the next battle with the aerial
forces. and tho party will probably have u
test there the latter part Of this week. 1t will
be on bigger scale even than the FL Paso ex-
pertinent. The citizens Of San Antonio will
have test on their own hook and Il number Of
gentlemen were on hand from that city on FRI
day to see how the experiments were con-
Quoted. All agreed that Inc management Of
the test by Mr.. Ellis was without q taw and
that everything possible to carry out the plans
as laid out WAS done.
My. Ellis said that his faith in the rain pro-
ducing theory was rs strong as ever, but he had
learned that there are some atmospheric con-
dItions when it will not work. When, how
ever, the conditions are in the least bit favor
able, he believes that he can invariably bring
on heavy rain fall
