mile in 2:l1li, but this was in turn sur
passed by Maud s, the figures at the
close of the racing season being 2:10af.
In 1881 Maud S. made Il record of 2:l01
which remained unbroken until 1884
when Jay Eye See brought it down to
2:l0. Later in 1854 Maud S. reduced it
to 2:09l4, and in 1885 to 2:0Sai. Here
it remained until 1891 when Sunol clip.
ped off half second, leavin it 2:0S11.
Then came Nancy Hanks 1892 with
record first of 2O7l4, then 2:O54 and
finally 2:04. Now Alix has taken Il
quarter of a second from that and pre-
diction is freely made that she will re-
duce it still further before the present
season ends.
The new champion is the most popu-
lar one since Goldsmith Maid. Her
history is tull of incident and interest:
AliX was foaled in 1883 aid was
raised at Muscatine, Iowa, by Daniel
Hayes, Il prominent and wealthy bust
ting horse breeders of the west. When
Mr.. Hayes retired from extensive
breeding operations, in 1889 he sold the
lilly at auction i'll Chicago and she was
bought for $500 by Morris J. Jones,
who then lived in Nebraska, but is now
resident of Red Oak. Iowa. Mr..
Jones put her into the hands Of Il
j. b. Chandler, now well known us the
driver of Online. AS u three year-Old
AliX was trained and driven by &. W.
Williams of Axtell. AllertOn fame He
foretold the future of Alix when he de-
clared ut the close of the campaign
that the threc-year- old was the fastest
trotter he ever sat behind. 1t was
Hateful that the mare should earn her
crown on the new Williams track. She
won a number of good races that year
and lowered the record to 2:l64. In
1892 AliX trotted in 2:lO, then the fast.
est time Oh record for f0ur-year olds.
Alix is descended in the direct male
line from Mambrino Chief and she is
the fastest Mambrino that has appear
ed Oh the turf up to date. She is also
the first of her family to achieve dis.
tinction as queen of the turf.
The pacing record during the past
twenty-five years, has kept near the
trotting record, being generally from
one to two seconds below it. The per
Torrance of Robert j. in 2:119 makes
the two minuete horse foregone con-
clusion.

THE TROTTING RECORD.

The wonderful performance of fleet
footed Alix at Galesburg the other day
in lowering the trotting record of
2:O324, makes all the more startling the
contrast between the speed to horses
forty years ago and now. In 1916 the
queen of the turf was Lady Suffolk
who trOtted a mile in 2:291a. Since
that time hereford has steadily fallen.
In 1849 Pelham, converted PAGER,
covered mile in 2:22. This record
was equaled by Flora Temple in 1853,
and later in the same year was lowered
to 2:l94 by the same mare. 1t stood
at this figure until 1867, when Dexter,
driven by Budd Doble, brought it down
to 2:19 and later to 2174. This was
thought at the time to be the limit of
speed, but in 1871 the same driver went
a mile behind Goldsmith Maid in 2:l7.
Not satisfied with this the Maid sue
cessively clipped off seconds until in
1874 she left record of 2:14. The next
reduction was made by Rarus in 1878,
his record being 2:134. st. Julien fol-
lowed in 1879, setting the mark at
2:122i. This in turn was beaten the
following year by Maud s., time 2:1l4.
