A dispatch from Chicago, dated October 9,
said:-"The great event OF. the day at the
Chicago driving park was the beating of all
previous records by the young PAGER, John.
ston, driven by Peter v. Johnston. The
horse got a warming up in 2:224l, and OF the
second trial paced without a break or skip in
exactly 2:10, thereby making the fastest hsr-
ness record ever known" A subsequent dis
patch was in these words:-.sThe feat accom-
plished by the PAGER Johnston, In eclipsing all
records by covering his mile in 2:10, evoked
the widest enthusiasm among spectators at
the track, and particularly among horsemen
present, who held their watches ON him. The
animal made q fine start and covered first
quarter in 324, without skip and passed half
mile in 1904, three quarters in 1889, and his
driver, then as though he knew how close he
was upon the best time made by Sleepy Tom,
the PAGER and Maud s 1.-The tretter touched the
young animal with the whip, The effect was
noticeable to every close watcher, and while
the PAGER showed accelerated and straining
movement, he maintained remarkable stead
mess and passed under the wire with . ire
mendous swing, but moving as evenly IS q
locomotive. The horsemen claimed for him
2:099, which wal the time one Of the judges
credited him, but even figures were scored
against him to mako sure" This 10 = great
event in the horse world.
