Lexington Chief, 2:30, and his eleventh
in the bay horse Linden, 2 ~. Ben Frank
lin gets his tenth in the bay gelding,
Jim Graham, :264; while Dynamite has
taken the first place among his trotters
with a record of 2:2la. The Lamberts
also come in for their share of the glory
of the splendid performance of Leicester,
whose third heat in 2 1Sf carries the rec
ord of Vermont stations four and half
seconds below the mark set by Mack, son
of Thought, last season, as the dam of
Leicester (Lady Winship, :23l) was one
of the only three foals got by II. b. Win
ship (son of Aristos), whose mile in :0G
with running mate is the fastest mile
ever yet trotted. 1t is to be noted that
the dam of Winship was by Col. Moulton,
son of Daniel Lambert. Considering the
comparatively few crosses in this region
between first-class Hambletonian stall
lions and Lambert mares, the 2:l6S of
Pamico and the 2 rs of leicester, made
in races aud backed by other very credit
able performances, convey very signifi-
cant hint to breeders. Appearances indi-
cate that before the season is over Lam
bert will have another trotter to his cred
it in his entire son, Lambert B., owned
by w. S. Bailey of Hardwick. Mr.. Bailey
was unfortunate in losing Golden. sire
of the first New England two-year-old to
beat 2 80; but it seems probable that
Cobden's place will be made good by this
younger son of the old hero of Cream
Hill.
Following is the Horse Breeders ac-
count of the Mystic meeting:
Hot weather but good attendance
marked the opening day at Mystic. The
classes were the = ;33 and 2:2i, both for
trotters. The first fell to Archy b., a
fast and well-behaved siX-year-old son of
Thought. by Daniel Lambert. He was
known to be good horse and able to do
the trick-hs race with Redmont at Hart
ford showed that-but there was much
uncertainty as to whether the people con-
trolling him were ready to let 90 of him.
He sold in the field in the first heat, finish
ing in second place. Rinaldo, son of
Mambrino Dudley (2:l93), dam Wanatah
by Wedgewood (2:l9), second dam
IIermosa, by Edwin Forrest and third
dam the famous old Black Rose, came in
ahead and was given the heat, despite q
long run up the back side. Frank Wilkes
the favorite, was second. The time wa:
? :2S4.
SIN the second heat Archie B. was cut
loose after Frank Wilkes, which assumed
the lead at the start. Up the back side
Archie B. took long run, then settled
down beside the leader. Coming home
Wilkes slackened his speed at the finish
: when he looked like winner. The
driver of Archie B. had his horse close
up. and when Wilkes stopped he looked
at his watch, took his horse back, looked
round to see if there was anything elst
to take it. Then he glanced at the Judges
} went on and won. The finish was close
but Archie B. was gwen the heat. The
: time was 2 :264. With that mark ther,
: was nothing left but to win the race
which the little horse did handily. PHO
: showed great speed in the last heat, trot
ting in the last half from distance GU
into second place. He should receive
; ces of this class. Rinaldo was not in i
! after the first heat, nor Frank Wilkes af
= ter the second one.
There was no doubt about Marthf
= Wilkes winning her race, and there wa
little interest in it. Fisher had her wei
l in hand and drove with great confidence
evidently holding the proves of hi
: competitors III light esteem. Her mex
start will be at Buffalo in the :23 class
, Chance was far better horse than h
= has ever before shown since coming East
l In the second heat he made the mare bea
: her record little, but did not drive he
] out of her class.
