Special to THE MORNING CALL


perfect to-day, and the track was faster
than yesterday when Sunol made her won
derful mile. Had she been given such a
dav and track she could have lowered ner
mark, for not breath Of air was stirring
when the trotters went to-day, and the sun
was hot Marvin was confident of lowering
the worlds records for yearling and two
year-old trotters, which were won here on
the sixth of the month by the Palo Alto
youngsters Bell Bird in 2;27s4, and Arion
2:I52l He had confidence in the ability Of
Palo Alto to beat his record Of 2:12A, and
now that he has lowered it 10 2:11A, the
famous driver wants to send him against the
worlds record for two miles, and if Senator
Stanford says the word the stallion will
make the race and win it.
Marvin brought Bell Bird up for start
when she was going very fast, but the
Judges failed to give the word and he had
to start again. On tile second attempt the
FLY went away little unsteady, but Mar
vim handled the little one splenddly and
shook her out Of what every body feared
would be a break. She did not get settled
down to her work until she reached the
eighth post, when she went along very fast,
going to the quarter in 371a seconds and to
the balf in 1:14, Marvin held her in reserve
for the finish and went to the three-QuarterS
post In1:5I. Then the wonderful FLY went
out racing and came home at last stride,
making the quarter in 80 seconds, an 90
ingunder tue wire strong and game in 2:-64,
beating the record of Freedom 81 seconds
ami her own record IL SECONDS. Bell
Birds quarters were rated at 81 H. 3672. 81,

, I54 The colt was feeling tine and had
good staIt going away very fast. 1t was
the genera, opinion OF hOrsemen that ArlOn
would lower the record, for everything was
In his favor and he was anxious to 60. He
went to the quarter post IN O:34 Z, aud when
the time WIS announced experts SAID tile
cult would win the race If he did not break.
Marvin held him level, and he tTOtted the
second quarter at a terrific speed, going to
tile half-mlle post IN :UI, as timed by three
watches. From that point he eaSed up
little, ana made the turn into the stretch
with lots of speed left, going to the three
quarters post in :4l4. lie Will beat 1t II
he doesn't break" said HickOk, who was
pulling hard for the great colt Marvin
drove AriOn the finest flash ever seen with
a colt, and brought him home without
SKIP IN 2:1473. making the last quarter in
33A seconds Arion came In strong and
with his head up like veteran. He nm
ished so strong that Marvin had no use for
his whip, the colt being only encouraged by
the shouting OF his driver and Sandy, who
was close up with the runner.
one timer made the time 2:14A, but the
others agreed on 2:l412, which was made
tile mark. The time Tor the quarters was
0:A11a-0 30 -0:34z4-O:35A.
"lGst was the greatest fuiSh for two
yeaT-Od that l ever saw, exclaimed
HIckUk, in his enthusiasm, and he can
beat that mile. There's a record that we
will not see beaten during our lives, and iflt
is ever beaten ATiOn will do 1t. AGion Will
come nearer the two-minute horse than any
other tr0tteT. l would rather have that colt
than any other horse that stands on four
feet" Hickok said, as he went out Of the
stand TO congratulate Marvin.
The hero VI the Stanford stock-farm, the
great campaEner, Palo Alto, was then
brought out to 60 against his record. Mar
vim loves the old horse, and was anxious TO
give him lower mark, because 1t has been
said by some hursemen that PalO Alto has
seen his best day, and that he could never
lower his record. The famous stallion
limped out Of his stall, es he always does
in stating out 10 work, and to people who
do not know the horse it seemed as II he
WAS not fit to 90 fast mile. But It Is an
old lameutss, and after good warming up
he was as well as ever and trotted ike q
piece of machinery. Horsemen who have
seen many Of his performances SAID he
seemed lamer than usual, but Marvin did
not seem 10 be afraid of the leg.
Marvin nodded for the word when Pslo
Alto was about right to 60, a ID tue stallion
went away very fast He trotted to the
first quarter in 0:33A and to the half in
