He Jogged her three mile and ane seemed to feel Just right. The track as rubbed duwn for tlie attempt, and Huitolwa driven out for a start Just before 6 o'clock. A double set of timer had been kept busy during the other racing, and six Walchewerbcjd on Hunot, to there could be no ques tion alsiut the record. Tha mare had bceu drlvett four mlkts, one rather fast, hen she was found ready for the event of her life. Tim O'Brien, of the Palo Alto stable, wa stationed at the half-mile pole with a ruuner to accom pany Kmiol to the finish, but she went alone the first half mile. Marvin nod- ed for the word the first attempt. President Hblpi shouted "Go," and Huuol went out to win the record that Marvin had been working for okmg. Sunol was guided along Just inside the center of the track, which had been prepared Turner, and Marvin cautioned her with hi long drawn-out "Whoa" to keep her from becoming too excited. She weut to Die quarter pule lo 811 seconds, aud kept on at her wonderful trlde to the half-mile poet In 14 flat Here Tim O'Brien came into the race with the ruuuer. The mare came around the turn faster than any nian ou thegniuudseversaw a trotter go, aud reached the three-quarter post In 17, It was a great race against time as she came down the stretch to the finish, aud the excited timer shouted: Mln' m. iif "frihe'll tieat It" Bunol came home In a magnificent finish, Marvin had the race and he encour aged tlie mare all the while by calling ou her, but- did not use the whip. Everybcsly shouted a she went under the wire In 2:tt. It wa the gannwt finish ever seen on a racetrack. Six timer comred their watchc aud they , were exactly the same 2:tj. There was tin watch on the grounds to dlomit the correct nee of the record except lo make It faster by a quarter of a second. The crowd yelled like craxy men, and cheer after cheer went up for 8unol and Marvin. Marvin -a greatr ly plensed with the result, but he was oulet and had little to say.
