SAGINAW, MICH, July lit has
been but few years ago that the har-
ness racing season properly begun with
July and TO operate in the famous old
grand circuit was the Mecca OF ambi-
tious drivers, aud owners that could
have their horses win in such classic
company was their greatest aim. The
season then only lasted about three
months, and now il has been strung out
bit, beginning in May and is pro-
tracted to November 1st, and If one be
inclined he can find meetings on down
through the South that run up 10 the
holiday season. II we are to judge the
remainder OF the '94 season by the past
! two months, we may cow readily con-
| cede the fact that the two-minute marx
| is an almost assured certainty before
snow flies, and 1t looks close-Oniy four
| seconds off-but each quarter means
| great deal, and there are sixteen quar-
| tiers, aud you may then form crude
conception as to its being made reality.
! The 2:OS5I of Maud S. stood from 1885
! till 1892, but when the daughter OF
! Happy Medium and Nancy Lee got
started at it she chopped of more in
/ sixty days than there is yet, TO
reach the goal of every driver breeder
and owner in America, viz, the two
minute mark. With the great improve
J ments in tracks aud trotting horse para
phernalia, IL certainly looks more with

| The 2:30 list has already been swelled
very largely, and to take glance at
! few of the best ones OF the year ':ho
! have won popular honors down below
the ego mark seems almost an incredi-
BILE story when one regards the time OF
year. The following is partial list of
the best:

Wilkes; Sister Ethel 2:194 by Jay Bird,
and Merry Bird 2:O9i4 by the same sire;
Bourbon Wilkes Jr. 2:l9H by Bourbon
Wilkes. Lightning Pr by Alcantara
| 1923 has reduced her mark TO 2:13H,
while the chestnut gelding, Amboy,
2:l9ll, that had such a picnic in the
early eastern meetings, reduced his
record to 2:132(. One of the best per-
formers of the year is the BAY gelding
Newcastle, sired by COrnelian in 1855,
son OF Princess, $3.50. The Doan Brook
farms teamster started out with him,
operating in the slow classes down in
Ohio. Imagine what large sized
cinch he had to win, as he had shown
| mile in 2:12 before he got the word in
race, and his last win was over
in the Dominion at Windsor and he went
the 3rd heat in 2:lG4. | guess Splan
Just did that to show the Canadians that
going fast wasn't lost art with him.
Splan seems TO have rejuvenated the
gray gelding Jack as he has been win
ming right along until he ran up against
Billy Maloney and Belle Vera 2:0S4
and that proved too much of contract.
Maoney's victory over another grey
horse must have been surprise party
when he defeated Guy, 2O6&, with
Vassar, 2:l134, winning in straight
heats, going the second one in 2:094.
He is an own brother to Belle
Vara and their dam Nell, by Estill
Erie, is the only mare that ever pro-
duced two with records better than
2:lO, and the only mare that has two
that will average with them is Angel
inc, dam Of Ontonian, 2f07j{, and On
line, 2:10i5 She was sired by Chester
Chief, Pip. There are so many PAGERS
that have reduced their marks ana
gone down into faster classes below
2:s0. to enumerate them would be quite
task and may be tax npon space
and patience. The first two-year-old TO
march off mile better than
EGO was the Colorado youngster
Carbonate that went mile
early in June going the route 10 2:194,
! then comes Judge Hurt, another 2-year-
old, from Dallas, Tex, with his mark OF
2:I4t{ and Princess by Prince that reel
ed off the distance 10 a second heat in
2:l7'{ aud up comes Mcdowell with Di-
rectly and beats the two Of them in
2:lS15. Down at the Lexington meet
ing the fastest mile made was by the
Onward mare Token, who went third
heat in 2:l5. She is quite trotter and
nth no mishaps ought to take race
record in PIP or better, she COM
bines the strong blood OF Almont
80 from her dam, Alarm. The most
wonderful performance was in the two
year old trot, and the 1894 mark Of
Cappie Woodline, 2:26it, was reduced
three times in the four heats. The
Barnhart fllY, Barnetta, won the initial
heat In 2:27$l, after the nine youngsters
scored 10 times, and with few less in
the second heat the Wilton colt Bucyrus
landed that in 2:25j5, and then ia the
third Impetuous, black FLY by Dicta-
tor, Just won too easy 10 2:24l4, and
ii was complete dump to the tai
ent, as she was a rank outsider
Ia the betting. She has the blood of
ex.champions in Der veins, as her dam,
Ethelwyu. was by Harold, sire OF the
chestnut Queen for seven years, Maud
), 2:OS24, and then on the last day
George Bowerman uncovered the best
two-year-old Of the year in the brown
FLY, Scourine, by Wilton, by going the
second heat in 2:25j5, aud what great
brood mare her dam, Mamie, was,
having produced the PAGER, Rose
Leyburn, 2:15}5, Catherine Leyburn,
