TERRE HAUTE, Ind, Oct. 1.-The
time of Maud S, 20s2, in an exhibition
mile, equaled in a heat race by a 5-year
old and the four heats of that race in
the wonderfully low average time OF
2.114; the six heats of the free-for-all
trotted in the average time of 2.12t, and
the gray gelding Jack that, timed sep.
arately, trotted every heat better than
2.13 ruled out for not winning one
These were the two record breaking
events that wound up a week of the
greatest racing known in the history Of

The result was not much of a surprise,
but the O. 1S trot brought a big one when

of $40, went out and never headed won
in three straight heats and took a mark

est heats ever trotted in races. As fixed
on the card and by reason of the many
hot finishes the free.for.all comes first,
but even more wonderful was the 2. ID
class, in the first heat of which Belle
Vara captured in 2.0Sa, the last hall
timed by her owner, Mr. s. A. Browne,
of Kalamazoo, Mich, being done in
1.02a. After several hot scores it
looked as if the unreliable Ryland I
would be carried off his feet, but the
got away steady in last place, Jack at
the pole and lead an open length around
the turn. Jack brushed him hard al
the three.quarters, but Ryland was
never headed and finished the mile
strong in 2.11.
Still the talent pinned their faith to
Little Albert, the unbeaten Californian,
and was a length away at the start
there seemed more than an even chance
for him to capture the race. Little AL.
bert was never headed and won the heat
in 2.l2.
Little Albert again took the lead, but
was overhauled by Fyland T at the
three. quarters. Jack and Little Albert
both fought hard, but the Ledger horse
was too great a performer. The three
winners of heats were left to fight it out
in the sixth. Ryland T broke in the
brush with Albert up the turn. "That
settles it," all cried, but the handiest
catch ever seen was made by clever Ben
Walker, and squaring away Ryland T
overhauled the leaders and won the heat
and race with ease.
In the first heat of the 2.l4 trot Belle
Vara made it in 2.0S8. Then the little
black daughter of Vatican squared
away and even Doble had plenty to do
to hold her at her stride, so fast was it
The half was reached in 1.041, Matte
III in the lead and Vara several lengths
behind. Faster and faster she flew and
one by one the field was overhauled and
at the stretch she had only to fight it
out with Walter e. She had done the
last half in l.024 and the mile in Maud

race and came up strong and true, but
the steady Walter q again brushed
them out in the stretch. Even in the
final heats matters were not settled
until tie finish, for st. Vincent was
again a good horse and Walter f had
plenty to do in shaking him off and the
