assistance. The race was won by q. III.
Loiland of w. A. @. in 1891, with 30
yards hand; Elliott, the scratch man,
making the mile in $3.50.
Hal Pointer did not succeed In lower
ing the record, his best time being 211t,
II seconds slower than his record. This
is accounted for solely by the fact that
his running mates, one being placed at
the start and another at the half mile
post, could not run fast enough to push
the wonderful PAGER to the top of his
speed. On the last quarter of the second
heat the distance was covered in 30t
seconds, which, had it been taken at the
start and maintained to the finish would
have landed him the peer of all PAGERS
in the world.
Another horse to break his record on
the new track was William Nj. Singerly's
stallion Wilkes Bird, from his Elkton,
Md, stock farm, driven by r. 7. Crouch.
The stallion was given three heats,
which were trotted in 1911, 2.364 and
2.273 beating his record (2.30t) three
seconds. The starting judge was Joseph
ii. Wenderoth, president of the Phila-
delphia Driving Park at Point Breeze,
and his associates were j. w. Johnson
and W. f. Williams of New York city.
The marshals were William r. Rey-
nolds and Harry Gray, while the flag
was dropped on the distanced horses by
Harry Griffin. The stride of Hal
Pointer was measured as he was com
ing down the home stretch and the tape
line showed the distance from heel to
toe to be Is feet 0 inches, while that of
the dog Doc measured feet inches.
