The morning call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1878-1895, 1894-09-29
Is the Fastest Yearling
Stallion.
MAKES A MILE IN 2:23 FLAT.
Very Fast Time at the San Jose
District Fair.
EDITH BREAKS TRACK RECORD.
But the Second Race Between CycIist
Ziegler and PAGER Wood Is
Disappointing.

gramme OF races arranged for to-day at the
district fair was drawing card, and over
5000 people assembled at Agricultural Park
20 witness the sport on the track, which
proved to be of unusual Importance. Al
10 O'Clock the stock parade took place.
The great event of the day, and one
which is of interest to every admirer OF
blOOded horses, was the trial mile of Ad-
bell, the yeaTling stallion from Palo Alto
stock farm. The colt was driven one
mile with a running mate in 2:23, the fast
est mile ever trotted in the world by
yearling. The performance was for the
purpose of breaking his own record of
2:26. and when the announcement was
made that the worlds record had been
broken the people gave cheer after cheer.
Adbeil never wavered once during the
mile. and came in easy, not being urged
by whip even at finish. This great drive
was made by Walter Maben. Adbell was
sired by Advertiser, dam Beautiful Bells,
from which number of the fastest horses
on the coast were foaled.
Bombed. three-year-old gelding from the
PaiO Alto stables, by AzmoOr-BOnoi, was
driven a mile in 2:27i4. in an attempt to
lower the record of 2:22H.
A number of other horses were driven
to lower records and all succeeded.
The race between Otto Ziegler, the
demon" cyclist, and w. Wood, the great
PAGER from lakewood farm. was not all
;hat had been anticipated, as Wood broke
several times during the mile, consequently
making his time 2:23]a.
AS Sanders, driver of Wood, objected to
have a running mate pull sulky with a
wi nd hra L for f,I ha Ioft
went the first half without it. He had
running horse with wind guard during
the second half, but it was OF little service.
Ziegler passed Wood before he got to the
first quarter and led him all the way by
about 80 yards. Wood came very slow,
as Sanders was discouraged because be had
no chance TO lower the record of 2:07A.
The regular races of the day were re-
markable because of fast time. Marin Jr.
had conn arativelv an easy time in taking
three heats out of five from the field OF six
in the 2:1S class trot. He would easily
have won the race in three straight heats
had he not broke. This let Vina Bell and
Wayland w get in.
Edith was too fast for those against her
in the 2:14 pace, and took the race in three
straight heats, pacing the second heat in
2:10, breaking the track record.
The free-for-all pacing developed some
unpleasantness because the judges
thought c. Fl. Corey did not drive Laura
NJ in the second heat to win. She won the
first heat easily, and the judges knew she
had speed 20 take the others. They or
dered Corey eff the sulky TO let some one
eiso drive. He refused and bluffed the
marshal who was instructed to take him
out of the sulky.
After some delay he voluntarily got
down and permitted J. Dustin to drive.
The change of drivers, however. did not
win the next two heats for Laura NJ. The
judges ordered the mare to be placed in
another barn for the night. and Corey has
refused to acQuiesce. The matter was in
vestigated by the directors tonight, but no
action taken.
CibolO, who was the favorite, was de-
clared distanced in the fourth heat because
Sanders, her driver. fouled at the three
quarters by driving across the track and
hinderiDg Laura NJ. This ruling was also
contested tonight. but no action was
taken.
The last race was uneventful, but it is
evident from the two heats trotted that
Failacy and Regina will hold first and sec
ond places. The betting was lively and in
two finished races the favorites won.
