-Ihe great performances of Aller-
ton and Direct at Independence, Ia,
last Friday, has been the chief
topic among horsemen. Concerning
the same the Press Association sends
out the following we'll written de-
scription: 1.-THE sun was just sink
ing as Allerton was brought out to
beat his record of 2:ll, made last
Monday. The stallion was full of
fire and eager for the start. Whent he
word was given he sprang away like
an arrow and as staunch and firm as
an ocean craft. Down to the quarter
the watches told that he had been out
1921. With flight not one whit de-
creased he raced to the half In l;Oo16.
The flag fell at the third quarter in
| I ,oQ a,,I Williams hah NOT unQna a
move to coax the effort. Just before
reaching the wire the whip came
down, and the stallion let out another
| link which carried him under the
wire in 2:l0 fiat, winner OF the
worlds best record for a trotting
stallion. Two of the watches in the
stand and majority of outside
watches caught the time at 2:O9A
It was Just at dusk that the little
black stallion Direct, by Director,
owned by Monroe Salisbury, Pleas
anton, CAL, was brought out to beat
his record of 5000, made on this
track last week. George Starr was
behind him and John Hussey drove
the runner, old Ned Gordon, as he
did in the mile with Allerton. The
game little horse went away from the
score like streak Of black shadow IN
4
route In the strong, steady style pecu-
liar to the Director family. de
reached the first quarter in 81 Sec
onds, the half In :04, the third quar-.
ter in :3516, and the watch stopped
ticking 1t 2:06, as he passed the
stand. He had beaten Johnston't
pacing record, and pandemOnium en-
sued among the excited crowd when
the fact became known. There were
cheers for Williams, Salisbury, the
horses, the track and everything else
concerned in the wonderful pei
formances, and it was q crowd almost
deliriOus from excitement that wend'
ed its way homeward In the gather
