ON THE RACE TRACK.

Fast Trotting and Pacing During the
 Past Week-Records Broken-Wfl-
 liam Neelyss Horses at Philadelphia
 -Other Notes.
 The past week has been one of sensation al performances of the greatest interest in trotting horse circles. Record breaking has been frequent during the past season and in this respect the past week has been memorable. At Stockton, Cal, on Tues day at the kite shaped track Charles Mar win broke the worlds record for two-year- olds with Arion, youngster that trotted mile in 2:15f. The best previous record for two-year-olds was made by Sunol on October 27, 1888, when the mark was set at 2:19. Arion is by Electioneer, dam Manette by Nutwood 2:19a.
 On the same day last week MT. Marvin won additional glory when he broke the worlds record for, yearlings, which was Der IS, last season. The yearling lilly that won this distinction is Bell Bird by Elec- tioneer, dam Beautiful Bells by The Moor 2:31 The dam of beautiful Bells was Mime haha
 Both of these record breakers are from Senotor Stanford's Polo Alto stock farm.
 Possibly no race has created more inter est in this city than the contest between Nelson, 2:10, and Allerton, 2:094, which was decided on the regulation track at Grand Rapids, Mich., on Wednesday and was won by the latter horse with his owner, c. w. Williams, in the sulky. The Waterville, Maine, stallion, with his owner, c. H. Nelson, won the first heat and made the best time in the race, which was 213. The next three heats were cap tured by the son of Jay Bird in 2:144, 2:15, 216t, This race gives the title "King of Stallions" to Allerton.
 The admirers of Nelson seem to think none the less of him since this race. They want to see him in the hands of such an expert as Budd Doble, who is acknowledged as capable trainer of record breakers and is nearer the regulation weight than MT. Nelson, who is twenty-five pounds over weight
 Another race, which attracted consider able attention was the match race between the pacers Hal Pointer, 2:09a, and Direct, 2:06. which was decided at Terra Haute, Ind, on Wednesday of last week. Di- rect took the first heat in 2:13, after which Hal Pointer won the race in the next three heats in 2:11, 2:104, 2:124. The young trotter Delmarch has recent ly been coming to the front in rapid strides. Delmarch is full brother to the stallion Wilkesbrino, owned by the Hu- binger brothers of this city, and on this account the Hubingers and others who have bred to Wilkesbrino, take considers ble interest in his performances. He won several closely contested races and got a l mark of 2:12 and was so much admired by | Budd Doble that he offered $35 ,OO0 for him. On Friday, at Terra Haute, Del | march was started to beat 2:12 and won in 2:114.
 William Neely's trotter, Tom Hsmil. ton, 2:214, is to start to-day in the 2:2C class at Point Breeze park, Philadelphia. Among those entered in the class are Soudan, Tom Arden, Trotwood, Problem, l Brava and others.
 l On Thursday of this week MT. Neely's pacer, Monkey Rolla, 2:154, is to start ir the 216 class at the same track. Marende'f Gray Harry, G. R. S., Elva Medium | tered in the same race.
 Charles Smart had narrow escape iron serious accident at the Danbury race track on Friday. He was driving Little Spor in the last heat of the race when J. R Gibbs, the driver of Lynx, pulled acros the track and collided with Little Sport | snlky, which was overturned when Smar
 who was going at fast rate. was throwl out
 The sulky turned back to position again
 when the little gray horse kept up hi
 speed at sharp trot around to the distance
 stand, where he was stopped.
 Smart reported soon after in the judges
 stand, when he was apparently uninjuree
 by the accident.
 The next horse race to attract the uni
 versal attention of horsemen and others o
 the sporting fraternity is the match rae
 between the two great -year-olds Nanc.
 Hanks and Allerton. Both of these horse
 have obtained record of 2:094 and whe1
 they come together this week at Lexington
 Ky, for purse of $10,00O great rae
 may be expected. Nancy Hanks, the win
 ner of many victories, is by Happy Medi
 um by Hamiltonian 10, the sire of JayB
 The dam of Nancy Hanks was Nancy Lee
 by Dictator.
 According to rumor it is doubtful
 Nancy Hanks is in good condition for l raca
