ders, who has kept her working up from

Athadon. by Matadon, the level-headed
yeaTling colt owned by q. l.. W aIloW Of

Monroe Salisbury's wonderful pacing
stallion Direct, by Director was driven by
George Starr against his recOId of 2:06, and
made the mile In 2:OIA. The horse was
not ready TO go at his best, and Starr did
not want to give him the work until Satur-
day. but Salisbury was afraid of the lateness
of the season and wanted the trial made to-
day. TIE little wonder could have beaten
his mark if Starr had not sent him too fast
on the first half-mile, which was made In
1:01A. He was not able TO keep up the
clip aud paced the last two quarters in 0 :33
each. His first quarter was made in :30A
and the SECOND O:3o12, making most won
derful half-mlle record. Salisbury says the
horse will 60 again Saturday, and he will be
rated clover on the first half TO finish the
mile in about 2 :05.
