The world's record for trotting three-year-olds stands to dato S ) ns follows: Aa jv Fastest colt, Arlon, by Electioneer; njlj'S record, 2:10, scored In 1S92. , 3'M Fastest filly, Fantasy, by Chimes. ; 'I'-tj record 2;0Si, scored In 1S93. I iliifl Fastest gelding, Peter Stirling, by ' ;jp Baronmore, record 2:114, scored In 1001. I ill There was never a season, however, , jjit like 1904 for average fast heats. Grace 1 3 5 Bond, In her last four starts, went five .tjj J heats in 2:10 or better, a world's record ; i for a three-year-old. Grace Bond and ' : f Alta Axworthy trotted faster heats I than any three-year-olds of 190.1. the 1 !' record last seaBon being held by Sadie . Vf. Mac, with 2:114. Two srand three-year-olds of 1004 are not in the above tabic. They never Bcored a record at j i this age, but the bay filly Totara, by 1 j j Blngen, was third three heats to Grace r ( Bond and Alta Axworthy In the ICen- H'r.f tucky Futurity In 2:03ii. 2:09Vi and 2:09i, and the bay colt WUtcttn, by HF j 1 1 Wilton, was second three heats In the E Horse Review at Oakley In 2:1 Wt. 2M14 Hl i ; 1 nnd 2:11. Jewett was the llrst three- 5 year-old to beat 2:25, trotting In 2:23 , , ' in 1S79, at that time a performance rc- Hk ', garded as almost phenomenal. Hlnda H i J Hoso went under 2:20 in 1SS3, trotting a Hk 9 mile In 2:19 Vs. Sunol reached extreme Hb I I speed In 18S9, scoring a three-year-old Itll record of 2:10, Axtcl! reducing the Hp 1 1 three-year-old colt record the same year ! ! i to 2:12. These marks stood until Fan- H !? tasy and Arlon flashed across the turf Hr 1 J horizon. Grace Bond and Fantasy are F ' ?j as yot tho only threo-year-olds that l Ui have trotted below 2:10. w Good Season For Trainers.

E. Smathers will quit the arena of ((, I matinee racing with the satisfaction of 1 having won permanently for the New , I York Driving club the -"000 Memphis 1 I cup, something that will in some re- $ spects make up for the defeat he sus- t to talned a few weeks ago In tho race for f g the Cleveland Challenge cup. It Is no ,'' Si secret that E, E. Smathera believes he I j actually won that event also, and In i , 1 tfj that belief he is sustained by many who 1 , 1 jB saw the race. It Is said that it was the j il outcome of tho Clove-land race that I IB caused Mr. Smathera to consign all his ij' fj horses to the auction rln?. Ills action l , il In thlB respect Is to be regretted, for ho . fj has done much to Increase the Interest LI In hnrness racing In u professional as 't.p v QS 'n ftn Qmateur way. Hjl. I What tho Cup Baco Cost H; ! 3 ThatXiong Island, and especially Nas-nau Nas-nau county, benefited considerably by H' ; i the Vandcrbllt cup automobile race is Hf ! i grotty well understood. Few, however, H S have any Idea of the cost of thin race j. 1 1 to the manufacturers. Apart from the ; ' cost of the machines, which could not H'J: H have been less than $300,000, for there vk" l were eighteen of them, costing $15,000 jj ij ; or 116,000 each, there were the tires, tho H I salaries of helpers, and men who man- aged thlnga, not to upeak of the tranru K't' 1 iwrtatlon charges for men and ma- l , B chines. Altogether It is quite probable H,K ', tnnt the makers who had machines cn- 1 ,) ttrcd Bpent $160,000 on the affair. Then n !i 5 the public must have npent another K v 1? $100,000 In and around "Long Island dur- K 1; fi Ing the few days of the race; all of K ,1 Sj which went to the local people. This 4 ''. would make a total expenditure of J5&0,- 1' 000, |
