THE 2 IOLIST.

THE 2 10 LIST.
"Whips and Tips" of the Turf, Field
and Farm has the following on the 2:IC
list
1t is now time for my annual crow
about the non-appeaIance of. and non
approach to. the twO-minute trotter.
would welcome him with joy, should he
come. but my Judgment does not believe
i'm him. } 0I killed Nancy Hanks and
:03i killed AliX. In all the brilliant
season the existing record. let alone the
two-minutc mark, has not even been
threatened. Azote has given us the
fastest mile, 2:04f, but all the other
recOrd-breakers have failed to show any
thing of great promise. and 1t is aston
ishing to me that the optimists keep up
their faith All facts are against their
predictions. | deem it well, at this
time. to present a revised 2:l0 list. trot-
ting, which includes l3 new corners. and
it is not likely that there will be any
more for 1885. FOrty-siX animals have
now entered this select coterie. but it is
a most remarkable fact that while there
are IA bakers dozen of additions, only
one trotter previously in the list, Azote,
has reduced his record. This shows that
the chances are much against a horse
that once attains this extreme speed i'm
proving upon his mark. Nearly all of
the l6 trOtters in the list below have
reached their limit for a certainty, and
as yet we have only four that have
beaten , :06. From there to 200 is a
terrible journey. Every quarter of ii
second is more difficult of negotiation
than quite bunch of seconds at a
slower rate. We are not gaining much
IN accesslons to the , 40 list in proper
ton, as the additions have been about
the same in number each year since the
bike was introduced However. it is not
my object to reopen and re-argue the
two-minute question, but to present a
revised 10 trotting list. arranged in or.
der of speed. with breeding on both
sides. and "A brief analysis of the blood
elements thar have combined to pro-
duce these brilliant performers. Here is
