JOnNsoN's FAat MILtt.—The breaking of

son was brought out. He is a bay geld.
ing by Joe. Bassett, dam by Ned Forrest.
He is owned by 0. F. Dunbar, of Buffalo,
and was purchased by his present owner
near Welland. He is about thirteen
years of age and got hie present mark.
(2.161) in Chicago in 1887. It stood ion.
beaten until 1891. His appearance here
was only his second in Canada. Before
starting Starter McElroy announced that
the track was forty-two feet over the
mile and in justice to the horse the start
was made forty.two feet below the wire.
Tho horse scored four times and went off.
M. Dunbar drove him. With a watch
held in his left hand be watched how
the quarters were going. To the spec-
tators the noble beast seemed to be going
a oomparatively easy pace, but when the
mile was finished the Judges announced
that the mile had been made in 2,15.
Then from a thousand throats three
rousing cheers went up for the speedy
pacer and three more were given for the
driver. 111r. Dunbar cheered his horse
along with the rest of the people and then
received the congratulations of the crowd.
It was the fastest mile ever made in
Canada and the fastest made in the
United States or Canada this year. The
first quarter was made in 32, the half in
108, the three iu 1.89 and the mile in 2.-
16. The horse was not urged and it is
believed that two or three seconds more
could have been clipped off, with a little
effort.
