. Breeder and sportsman. Horses. mje greater <mfr f^ovtemaxu [July 30, 1898. '3 GREAT RAOE. Graphic Description of the Event in Which He Broke the Record Three Times. The following well written account of the race in which the Oikwood Park Stock Farm coll Klatawah paced to the remarkable record of 2:06} at Peoria is taken from the Horse Review of July 19th : The last day of one of the best meetings ever held any- where was one of the sort that pleased the management and everybody else. The weather was perfect, and Track Man- ager Haynes bad the track as smooth as a marble floor. The grand stand was again filled to the roof, and a glance over the audience showed more than the usual percentage of la- dies. In harmony with everything else, the 2:16 pace turned out to be the greatest race of the week, and by far the most sensational race of the year, and California carried off the honors. The winner of the race, the three-year-old colt Klatawah, by Steinwav, lowered the world's three-year-old paciog record in every heat, and, what was even more re- markable than his speed, was his department throughout the race and the way in which be won his heats. Klatawah is a member of Tom Keating's stable, but as Keating was not feeling well, and the weather was extremely hot, ha asked Andy McDowell to drive the race for him. Andy, as every- body knows and the records show, can drive a game horse as fast as, or faster than, any man that rides in a sulky, and of alt the good races be ever drove it is doubtful if any was bet- ter than this Klatawah race. Those who knew the colt best, includlog Keating, considered htm capable of going three heats between 2:09 and 2:10, and his performance was there- fore, all the more surprising. Keatiog knew he was a game horse because he had tried him highly by driving him five beats about as fast as he could go consequently his instruc- tions to Andy were to go just as fast as any one else wanted to go and keep in front if possible.
