If the facts can be proved and authenticated, as to the two 

 hours' stoppage more especially, the Transcript may well say it 

 was unprecedented in the annals of Canadian travel ; for, assum- 

 ing the time and distance to be correct as stated, it beats all 

 time ever made out of sight, whether on the trotting course or 

 elsewhere. 



Fanny Jenks made her hundred miles, stoppages excluded, 

 in nine hours twenty minutes and seven seconds. Including
