The :apid reduction Of time during 1892
fpd IN, fpfr
OF the kite-shsped track. in which much
more OF the course Is straight than in the
old round or oval tracks, and the so-called
"bicycle" suiky. in which pneumatic tires
and ball bearings are used. Sunol's time,
2:os,ss, is Still the best with the ordinary
suiky, and II IS hardly likely that under
similar conditions Nancy Hanks, though
wonderful mare, could have bettered the
time of Maud S. To no man in America
does the trotting turf owe SO much Is TO
Robert Bonner. though, when he bought
record breaker, he never allowed the an
imai to trot again Tor money. But he has
devoted years of time and thousands of
dollars to the breeding of fast trotters, and
his study of the horses foot has led to far
more scientific shoeing and consequent
increase OF trotting speed than Was before
practiced.
The PAGER is nearly allied to the trotter,
but there has not been the same interest
In pacing contests rs IN trotting. nor have
the records been kept so carefully. Last
year. however. much interest was aroused
in the minds Of all horsemen by the won-
derfui pacing time of 2:Ol, made on Sep
tember 20. by tho bay gelding Mascot, and
1t is likely that attempts to break this
record at this gait will be made during the
present year. The stallion record for trot-
ting is held by Stamboul at e:O71s.
Ii is not possible in the space At COM
mand to give 30 complete table Of tho
best records made by running horses a. by
trotters. Time records are not so care.
fully kept in England as in America. and
the running horse is at his best in Eng
land. The best recorded mile records in
America are:
At Monmouth Park, N. J.. August o,
1S9), Salvador at 4 years, carrying no
pounds. made mile on . straight track
in 1:35h
On the same track August IL. 1892, Kill
deer at years. carrying 81 pounds, made
. mile in :37L.
At Sheepshead bay June 2S, 1892. Major
Domo at years, carrying ll6 pounds.
made mile on . circular track in ! 80 i-5
At Columbus. Ca, November 2, 1892
Helen Nichols at years. carrying 81
pounds, made mile on circular track in
l:AlL, best time for that age.
