 Saladins performance of 2:O5a in race ! is certainly grand showing, but how away off were some of the reporters who follow the grand circuit when they sent forth to their respective papsrs that this was the fastest mile ever paced in race. Both Mascot's 2:04 and Hal Pointers 2:044 | were made in races Mascot obtained his ! mark of 2:04 in race won by the gray \ gelding Guy, who holds the fastest three heats ever speeded in 8 raee-2:06a, 2:0S44, | 2:08. In this race Flying Jib also got his l mark of 2:05a Guy has no known breed ing.
 The Hartford Times remarks: The joint circuit meeting at Fleetwood of the Fleet wood and Charter Oak Park associations ought to prove ot great good to trotting interests among the hotbeds of running ad mirers who populate New York. The loss l to Connecticut race goers is certainly be- yond estimation. The $1O,O0O 2:2O (uow | changed to 2:lS) guaranteed stake alone as- sured the Charter Oak association an at l tendance each year of at least 1000. Last season, ss in former years, this was the | case. It was, or would have been, ably seconded or surpassed by the $10,000 3-year old stake race had the weather held good. The third day of the '92 meeting was l very wet and postponement was issued to | the next day. However, on that day, there ! was only slight letting up of the rain, but l the order cams from Tom King, s'Racss to- 1 day." Three thousand people took trains for the track, where they were met by 8 | perfect deluge. This number under such ! c6 y,1o ir1u
 hers desirous of seeing the three year -olds
 battle for the big stakes. This season busi- ness would have proved of great benefit to ! the Charter Oak association had the Con l necticut legislature passed bill to regu- l late pool selling. Governor Bulkeley Is 8 ! thorough business man; he has never ! bought a pool, but he is man of the
 people, carries his oolors just where they belong, and has since 1870 always favored
 manly and legitimate sport. He has been
 ct Charter Oaks back when nothing but
 solid cash was needed to show how much he thought of an institution, and he
 stuck by it until 1t was clear of debt, | which was reached last year. Governor ! Bulkeley knows, and so does every presi-
 dent and secretary of trotting association of any magnitude in the land, that large
 purse or stake meeting cannot bs given without pool selling. Mystic Park had a '
 have to go deep down into its pocket this
 week, if it depended upon entry money to
 cover the purses. Every state i'll the union
 should have law to govern racing, but to ! kill the sale of privileges at racs tracks means to down the trotting horse business and consequently the raising of fine stock,
 in which Come cticut has been rapidly ad
 vanoing.
 The same paper thus speaks of the com
 ing races in Hartford: Brace up. ye horse
 men and horsewomen and secure season
 tickets for the last grand effort of the pop
 nlar method of horse racing. The Gentle
 mems Driving club on July 25, 28, 27 and 2S will give the final horse meeting for two | years at least in the state of Connecticut
 The best horses that NewEngiand and New York can spare from the numerous meet
 ings now in progress will meet at the Gen tlemen's Driving club on the above dates
 Fast time may be expected, and barring l yachting material, the club may be assured
 of 8 grand financial ending. Season tick
 cts, $2.50, will admit 8 gentleman and g,
 many of his lady friends as he wishes tt take to the races. All of the race tracl ! delicacies of the season in the way of goot ! sport, plenty of 1t and ease and comfort il 5 viewing the events are assured. More Horse Racing.
