Seven years have elapsed since that time, and as many more hundred sensational events have ocourred. PhallaB and Maxie Cobb represented the entire 2:15 Btallion list in 1884. Maxie Cobb's record stood unequaled until Williams went out with Axtell in 1SS9 and set the mark at 2:12, and then the chronic fogies said we had seen the stallion record placed where it would remain for many years, perhaps forever. How it has since been beaten by Palo Alto, Allerton, Nelson, Delmarch and 8tamboul is well known. How the 2:15 Btallion list of two in 1SS4 has been Btmng out to a great list of twenty-three ib alBO a known fact, and all of this haa been accomplished in seven years. Six of these have records of 2:12 or better.
