Adbell, 2:23. 

 Previous to Miss Stokes, the world's champion 

 yeariing was Adbell, 2:23, that took his record at 

 San Jose, Calif., Sept. 27, 1894, driven by Walter 

 Maben, although his speed was developed by John 

 S. Phippen. We know little about the method 

 in which his speed was made. His first start was 

 on Aug. 17, when he won a dash on a bad day 

 and on a slow track in 2:28, a new record for a 

 yearling colt in a race. On Aug. 27, in another 

 dash, he won in 2 :26, further reducing the year- 

 ling race record, and also the yearling stallion 

 record of Athadon, 2:27. On Sept. 27 he trotted 

 a mile against time in 2 :2^, quarters in 136, 136.
