A GREAT COLT. Axtell Breaks All the Stallion Records. HIS WONDERFUL PERFORMANCE The Three-Year-Old Record Lowered to 2:l2—He is Sold for $105,000. Associated tress Dispatches to tbe Herald. ! Terre Haute, Ind., October 11. —A mile in two minutes and twelve seconds is a great feat for aa aged horse at any harness gait. When it is done by a 3 year-old stallion at a trotting gait, it means a record that will stand for many a day. It means the acme of physical endurance, courage and all that goes to make the king of all horses. The fourth day of the fall meet ing brought out a crowd as large and enthusiastic as ever a perfect Indian summer sun shone upon, to witness an event that one is for tunate to see in a lifetime—the great Axtell to beat the 3-year-old record (2:l3i£) held by the California filly, Sunol. When brought out for the warming up heat he moved with such freedom and determination that but few thought the record could stand, but that he would knock one and three-quarter seconds from it the wildest enthusiast did not dream. George Starr was behind Father John as a helper. Williams nodded for the word at the second attempt, and the great flight was begun with that smooth action for which Axtell is noted. The first quarter was reached in .33. i The clip is made faster to the half, in I 1:05;!£. "Too fast," says Colonel Conley, I and a sigh goes up from the crowd as it is felt that the drive is made too noon. Still the game colt goes on, faster and faster. Thirty-two and a quarter is the gait at the three-quarters post, with never a falter. He breasts the hill and turns into the stretch. A shout goes up, "He will do it." On he comes and without a wabble or a false stroke, he finished the mile, strong, in 2:12. Thus at one stroke he reduced the 3-> ear-old record one and three-quarters seconds; also the record for stallions of all agee. Pandemonium lias broken loose. The stretch is black with a shouting, yelling mob. Williams is taken from the sulky and borne aloft on the shoulders of the crowd, and cheer after cheer goes up for the gallant colt and driver. The official timers were J. H. Steiner, Secretary of the American Trotting As sociation ; A. F. Rubs, of Detroit, and Colonel Conley, of Chicago. Tneir. watches agreed exactly on all the fracJ tioaa of the mile. The watches of Judges Beaucamp and Moran told ex actly the came tale. The track is seven ieet over a mile, by official survey, three fee; from the rail. THE GREAT COLT SOLD. Colonel Conley, of Chicago, late to night completed tbe purchuse of the great trotter Axtell for $105,000. It is supposed that he represents a syndicate. Andy Walsh, of Hartford, and John Madden, of Lexington, offered Williams $101,000 for the colt, and had a certified check for a forfeit to offer him. This be refused, and afterwards accepted Colonel Conley'a offer with much reluctance. Thia is the highest price ever paid in the world for a horse of any description. It is understood the great colt will go into Budd Dable's stable in the morning. The $105,000 purchase money is sup posed to have been made up by Messrs. Brush and Moran, of Detroit, Colonel Conley or Budd Doble and W. P. Ijanis, President of the Terre Haute associa tion. It is understood that Axtell will stand next, season at Warren Park farm, this Pity, BELLE HAMLIN BEATS 11A Kit V WILKES.
