THE FASTEST TINE ON RECORD.
Dash Of three.qusrters of a mile, all ages
Pearl Jennings won. Time, 1:13f; tastes
on record. The horses started from the ne,
chute, which gives an almost straight cours
away to the string, and old turfmen thinl
the new starting points get slight adv au
tsge of time watches which may account 70
the extraordinary time made, but the rae
was an uncommouly fast ons. Timers c
very accurate record say it is recognized 8
legitimate.
