1890 MEETING. 109 



then went on and won the race, while from that day 

 Adonis was a back number. Dallas also failed to win the 

 race in which he made his record, the big end of the purse 

 going to Cricket, the first mare to make a pacing record of 

 2:10, and the only one that ever did so to a high-wheel 

 sulky. The spotted mare, Leopard Rose, created a ripple 

 of excitement on the opening day when she won the 2 130 

 class from "Second Money" Pixley, and made a record 

 of 2 :iS/4- Prince Warwick also showed fast in this race, 

 but failed to win a heat. Later on he was sold for export, 

 and is now a well-known sire in Austria. James H. Gold- 

 smith had two winners at this meeting in Mambrino Maid 

 and Simmocolon. R. Stewart also had two, his repre- 

 sentatives being Grant's Abdallah and Walter E. The 

 other successful starters were Alvin, Alfred S., McDoel 

 and Rosaline Wilkes, while Harry Wilkes trotted a 

 special in 2:14^, and Sunol, after showing a quarter in 

 31 seconds, made a mile in 2:15. 



Xo one ever saw a better series of races than were

 that event Sternberg reduced the race record for colts 

 of that age to 2 :26 l / 2 when he defeated the St. Bel filly 

 Free. The three and four-year-old stakes proved two of 

 the best races ever trotted over the Cleveland track. Na- 

 vidad. on the showing made in Chicago, where he defeated 

 Kremlin in a seven-heat race and won the deciding heat 

 in 2:22^4, was the favorite for the latter. Sir Walter 

 Scott, a natty gray from Pennsylvania ; Merle Moore, 

 Coralloid, and Twist, also had admirers, but none of them 

 except Twist could march through the mud with the 

 Whips gelding when Marvin cut him loose in the third
