STOCKTON, Cal, Oct. 20.--Sunol beat tho
worlds record on the Stockton track to-
day, making mile in 2:OS]4, beating Maud
s. time half . second II was fast mile
from the start and the mare finished
strong. Altar warming her up by four
miles jogging and rubbing down, Marvin
came out ut five o'clock this afternoon to
20 against the record. At the first attempt
he nodded for the word and she went away
alone, a runner waiting for her at the half.
6he went the first quarter in :3lM, half in
1:04 fiat, three-quarters in 1877, and came
home strong and scored in 2:08l. There
were six timers and every watch the same.
The crowd went wild when the time was
make known.
The mare had been driven four miles,
one rather fast. When she was found ready
for tho event Of her life, timer O'Brien, Of
the Palo Alto stables, was stationed at the
half mile pole with runner to accompany
Sunol to the finish, but she went alone the
first half mile. President Ship
pee shouted "zo'' and Sunol went
ont to win record that Marvin has been
working for SO long. She'll break a record
in that slip" they said in the timers
stand. Sunol was guided along just inside
the center of the track, which had been
prepared for her, and Marvin cautioned
her with his Ion q drawn-o out whoa" to keep
her from becoming too excited. She went
to the quarter post in :31A, and kept
on at her wonderful stride to the half mile
post in 1:4 fiat. Here Timer O'Brien came
into the race with runner and as the start
wss made on the second half, an excited
horsenlan in the stand shouted, "1:O4, she'll
beat it!'' The mare came around the turn
faster than any man on the grounds ever
saw trotter 90, and reached the three
quarters post in 1887. It was great race
to the finish. The excited timers shouted,
''she's got; she'll beat it,
Sunol came home in magnificent finish.
Marvin knew he had the race and he en-
oouraged the mare, all the while calling on
her but not using the whip. Everybody
shouted as she went under the wire in
2:0eee4 1t was the earnest finish ever seen
on race track, ana the marc seemed to
be proud of the performances. There we're
no watches on the grounds to dispute the
faster by quarter of a second. The crowd
yelled like a lot of crazy men, and cheer
after cheer went up for Sunol.
Marvin was warmly congratulated, and
as he WAS going to the stable he said, ''They
will hammer at that figure long time"
Among the other performances Adver-
tiser lowered his record from 222 to 2:16.
Kirain trotted against 2:24 and made the
mile in 2:22M. Lady Weill went against
her record of 2:17, making 2:l61a. Mount
