He succeeded on three different occasions in beating the 2:14 of Goldsmith Maid, which has stood unchallenged for years, and lowered the record to 2:131. He also trotted the three fastest heats on record—2:ls, 2:131, 2:13J —at Hartford. The 2:18 of Goldsmith Maid over a half mile track he reduced to 2:16, at Toledo. Besides these performances ho is credited with the fastest first, second, third, and fourth heats on record.
