Arizona republican., 1910-11-09

Is a fact that watches are bound to vary when it comes to splitting sec onds and there were several of them on the ground yesterday which said two minutes flat The official time however stands at 2:00A.
 Lady Maud Is a fine looking ami nal but she does not impress the beauty hunter as much as her stable brothers, though her conduct is above reproach and never a more depend able or smoothly cut mile was ever travelled Hal Erwin whose special bushes this summer was to make her a world beater, delivered the goods yesterday and was glued to the sulky seat when Lady Maud c came down for the word with Nash and Gabe at her flank.
 When 30 was stuck up for the first quarter the whole grand stand was agOg for 1t was seen that the big dOings were on. The half mile was passed in a flat minute and a cheer arose for there was genral anticipa- tion of better time on the stretch and a record under two minutes. Hopes were even higher at the third post, when the sign read 1:29A. But the pace was killing and she must have taken time to breathe once or twice for it took her 3O% seconds to negotiate the stretch and the best the timekeepers coud do in the finish was 2:0014.
 But that wasn't so bad for it had lowered her own record two seconds; had equaledt he world record for a mare, made by Dariel of the Savage stable with the help of pace maker. and had clipped a quarter of a sec ond off the world record of 2:00A for a mare going without a pace maker. Lady Maud c may now be regarded as a suffragette for she is getting awfully close to the high rank of her male associates.
 The Cafe Noir.
 After a long and delicious banquet, as finishing touch one wants some thing just a trifle less exciting but equally as inspiring and refreshing. The feast of reason and flow of soul is the trite way of putting it but it fits very nicely. It was only req sonable to expect that Minor Heir would break his own and the worlds record yesterday for a mile without pace maker Had he done so there would have been a fine flow of sOuI' and even as it was there was nOth- ing torpid about the ceremonials. The day was all that anybody could ask and Minor Heir seemed to be in prime condition. Hersey was cOnfi- dent and Nash and Gabe were alert.
 But there was something about the start that didn't seem right. even though it all looked good. Minor Heir for some reason didn't get the second foot ahead of the first one as fast as it had been planned and even before the time of the quarter went up. 30A, there was prevailing fear that it was not record sped. The half mile at 1:0O14 showed the same rate and it was foretold that he would not gain his point The third post 1904 showed a time for the quarter of 29A and the crowd perked up. It was evident the record would not be broken but it was also evident that it was still in peril. As the two horses came charging down the vel vet stretch at gate of 29 flat for the quarter or at the rate of 1856 per mile the champion cutting hole in the air as smooth as a Mauser bullet and the bud gently tapping his vertebral nerve center, a mighty cheer arose The record was 1:59A, equaling Minor Heirs own time here a year ago, when he set the mark for the track and for himself at that date He was quarters of a second behind his own best achieve ment during the summer but it was fine show at that and well worth the money. On Friday the three horses of the Savage stable here mentioned. and one other, of the same string, HedgewoOd Boy, will enter in a real race and if the weather holds fine and Hersey doesn't lose his rabbits foot the speediest time (Continued on Page Eleven)
