f. +. Brownell's two-years-old stallion,
Prince Alexander, took a pacing record Of
2!21 last week OF the meeting of the New
England Breeders association held at Mys-
tic Park, Boston, thereby gaining the two
year-old record of the State, formerly held
by the trotting mare, Helen NJ, 2:2S.
Prince Alexander was worked a little last
winter as a trotter and would occasionally
in his work strike pace and at such times
would show such q clear, smooth gait, 60
ing so well within himself that on the first
day Of last May he was shod light and set to
pacing. AT the fall meeting Of the Rutland
Driving Park association, August Z, he
started to beat Sue Glllig's two-year- old
record Of 2:44t which was made over that
track year ago. lie accomplished the
task going the mile in 2:444. At the Yer
mont breeders meeting held at White River
junction he started to beat his mark made
at Rutland going the milo with one break
in $780, lie again attempted to lower this
mark last week at Mystic Park and 2:27 is
the result. 1t is great achievement for a
Nor thern bred two-year- odd, but when we
study his pedigree we can but SEQ that it is
simply 'the natural course OF events" He
is bred to go and to 60 fast, and in such a
performance is only indicating his breed
ing. He was sired by Alexander, l2:204, (ifth

his experience. The race will be trotted at

Allerton and Nancy Hanks will meet in n
race at Lexington, KY, Oct. u, and that

all unlikely. They both have records of

Allerton king of the trotting turf this year
and all this will be accomplished If he sue
ceeds in beating Nelson and Nancy Hanks
1t is also possible that he may lower the
record of Maud S. 2:Sf and if Allerton
should fail Nancy Hanks will probable do it
anyway.
