OF broken Tennessee hearts and thousands
of empty pocket-books were carried away
from Cumberland Park this evening. Hal
Pointer, their pride. the horse that carried
all their money, had suffered defeat in
three straight heats, the matchless Cali
fornia PAGER Direct showing him his heels
with comparative ease. The time of the
second heat was the best ever made in q
race in harness, lowering Pointers record
half second. Neither OF the flying
| steeds broke in either heat. They moved
like clock-work all the way around.
Hal Pointer had the pole IN the first
| heat and held it until the quarter pole was
reached, when Direct. who had been on
almost equal terms with him from the
start. made a magnificent squirt and Sc
| cured the inside of the track. After that
| 1t was easy sailing, and Ed. Geers pulled
up Pointer before reaching the wire.
The second heat saw Direct at the pole.
and he held 1t throughout. The best
Pointer could do was to stay abreast Of
him until reaching the half-mile post.
where Direct gradually drew away, the
Iennesseean's fine burst of speed III tho
stretch being IF no avail Ii was believed
that the champion could have gone in
2:OS had Pointer pressed hin more closely,
he going easily in 2:094. George starr
driving him magnificently. The last heat
was repetition of the others, Direct lead
ing nearly all the way.

Direct. Even money and six 10 Ave was obtaina-
bic PgaiDsf Direct in thu bODk9. Tho netting
the second heat was not materially changed

The New Queen of the Turf.
Maud S. is no longer queen of tho turf,
says the New York Tribune. She made the
record Of 2:0s3. in 1885, but this was reduced
yesterday by sunOl, who trotted a mile al
Stockton, Cal, Ia 2;0S4. Mr.. Bonners wisdom
in purchasing her Gt a price larger than no paid
for Maud 5. has been justified. He told one Of
our reporters tho othor day that he paid slO,-
900 for Maud ;. and $4,000 for Sun0L The
reduction Of half 4 second In tho milo record is
IA notable accomplishment, but SunOrs owner is
confident OF hor ability TO do a mile in - minutes
