All the world is talking of Queen Sunols
wonderful achievement on Tuesday, when
she trotted the fastest mile on record,
half second faster than the record made by
that famous mare Maud s., who was
queen Of the turf for so many years. To
be sure, Maud SIS record was made or
the regulation track, while SunoHs W
on kite Many will claim that the lat
ter is faster but il is still an open ques-
tion with horsemen whether or not this is
fact.
The track on which Sunol made that
wonderful mile was not in first class
shape, so bad indeed that rs late as q
o'clock on Tuesday afternoon, her driver,
Marvin, decided not to start her. But he
world knows what she accomplished. 1t
is confidently believed by her owner,
Robert Bonner, Senator Stamford, her
former owner, and Marvin, her trainer
and driver, that she can go the mile in
2;06, and she is to be given another trial
when a better day than the last comes, to
see how near that mark she can get.
This has been wonderful month for
turf. In il three championship honors
have been decided. First came the Aller-
ton-Nelson race which settled il definitely

ing record of the world, making the fast
est time, 2:09A ever made in a race.

rel gelding Lazy Mike against any trotter

wind of the Pine Tree State" and Mr.
Nash is reported to have refused 10000
