Show RECORD OF GOLDSMITH'S MAID. A co respondent of the St. Louis A'-publican cLiima to have discovered that the fast time recently made by Goldsmith M.iid is the ; result of trickery on the part of the judges. As the Maid ia to be retired at the end of this season, these quotations ot remarkable time are given her out of compliment. The way it n done is thus described : Tiie judges wiil select se-lect the moment when at the start Goldsmith leads the held, to give the word go, and instead of timing her from the moment she crosses the stand, on the itart, will time her trom the word '"go,"' when perhaps she has made one hundred yards of the mile. The fame trick is resorted to on the homo - stretch, the watches being stopped to time her, when she has yet a few yards to reach the judges stand. In this way at the start, and on the last quarter, sever.il seconds cvn, bo given to the favorite as a compliment, without the judges leaving themselves open to censure. In the case of a norse that leads on the start, and is leading the race as she bounds along the last quarter, this is not eoniidcrtU dishonorable. i |
