The statistician of the curious has figured it out that \af the old-time champion, Goldsmith Maid, had been rac- ng with Lou Dillon at Readville and had equalled her best performance she would have finished 652 feet be- Bind the grent mare. Almost a tenth of a mile, a re- markable object-lesson in modern race track supremacy! But suppose that for this interesting contest the Mald's jowner had prepared her as well as possible to meet modern trotting conditions, First, he would have taken her out of the old heavy sulky, more cumbersome than the horse-power cultivator with which the farmer now ‘drives his team afield. Then he would have harnessed iber to a pneumatic-tire, ball-bearing sulky of most im- proved manufacture, so light that its weight is measured in ounces, Next he would have arranged to have a run- /ming horse act as pacemaker and a pacer to act as a jshield against the wind. And, finally, the race would | have been contested on an elliptical track. In that event it is unlikely that the fine old mare Would have finished so many lengths behind. Every }mechanical contrivance and every art of race course } management, the surest stop watch and the fastest track would have combined to aid the Maid, and there are | those who would not have sought long odds on her. _In getting a proper point of view of the two-minute \ totter's performance {t {s necessary to bear in mind !ow much the new record depends on the mechanical “gnd how little on the animal element. loft only two-fifths of a second gained in twenty years in the 100-yard dash shows how slow the progress is where there {s no dependence on {nventional aid. THE DAISY MILLER SUMMER GIRL. In an {nterview with the mother of the young girl who was frightened to death at Port Washington by the intrusion of three sailors from the yacht Lotawana, ap- | pears this significant paragraph; ‘The day before my daughter and two of the young women \ members of our house party were out In a rowtoat, and In | passing the anchorage of the fleet they were hailed by a gcore or more of the sailors from the decks of the yachts. In pure sport the girls returned the salutations, and this fact may have had something to do with the unbidden visit) \4, of the sailors, At any rate the girls recognized the three ‘as among those who had hailed them the day before.
