After the completion of the regular
programme, Axtell. the greatest three
year-old in the world, who beat the
worlds two-year old record last year
and lowered the three-year-old record
for half-mile track at Cedar Rapids
this season, will trot against
time to beat the worlds three=year-
old record of 2:1S. Betting is rather in
favor of his lowering the mark. Axteu
is as fast as they make them, and will
have the finest track in the world to
work over, so that some remarkable
time may be expected.
The first race will be called at 1
O'Clock and started at 1:30 sharp. The
motor line and Milwaukee road will
run special trains direct to the driving
park at l, 80 and o'clock.
