The Yale expositor. (Yale, St. Clair County, Mich.) 1894-current, 1897-07-16
Great Blue Ribbon Meeting.


In addition to the low rates made by
the railroads between Detroit and all
Michigan points not over 100 miles dis
tant, the Star-Cole line of steamers
have made rate of one fare for round
trip including all points between Port
Huron and Detroit. The rate made by
the railroads is one fare for the round
trip on July 18th, the day on which the
great NJ. NJ. stake is to be trotted, and
one and one third fare for the remain
der of the meeting.
Marion Mills, 2:044, the fastest
guideless wonder in the world, who,
without rider or driver, is absolutely
turned loose on the track and makes
the entire circuit with no other guide
than her own intelligence, not only
holds the worlds record for pacing
mares, but the worlds record at her
way of going. She will exhibit We'd
nesday the l4th, Thursday the 10Th aud
Friday the 18th of July. She wears
nothing but bride, overdraw and
side checks, surcingle and a few
ribbons. She has paced half mile
track this year in 2:l04, which is the
fastest mile made by any horse on a
half mile track. She PAGES against her
self for blood, enjoying the excitement
as much as the enthusiastic spectators.
Her performance is a novelty which
eXciteS the most StOical tlIrfman, while
ladies, children and amateur horse
lovers simply go wild over it.
On Monday, the 18th day of July,
John II. Gentry, 2:00l5, and Robert j.,
20l1 =, viii separately go against the
worlds record Of 20Ol9, and one or the
other, perhaps both, will certainly go
into the two minute class on that day,
good day and good track. In the great
free-fOr-all at Hartford the horses were
unable to beat that mark and they are
obliged to come to Detroit to do it,
The great $4,000 NJ. and NJ. stake
will be trOtted on the first day, and the
$4,000 Chamber Of Commerce stake
will be paced on July Goth, but these
extraordinary events will not interfere
with the regular program of the meet
ing, which has been arranged for three
races each day. The entry lists to the
purses will be published in full at the
earliest possible moment and it will be
list Of the names of the finest horses
III the land.
