nancy Hanks Lowers Her Chicago Record,
and Trots Mile in 2:O5 IA.
lNDEPESDENcR Ia, Sept Nancy
hanks, the queen of horsedom, added a
shining star to her crown yesterday,
when she trotted the world famous kite
track at this place in the unprecedented
time Of 2:O5A, clipping two seconds off
her Chicago mark made two weeks ago.
She was brought out at2:S0 o'clock, and
as soon as she was recognized in the
loop the cheering began. She looked
well and her superior condition was
easily discernible. She took her first
warming-up mile gently, being only
driven in a jog. About 4 o'clock she
was brought out again and received
with the same cordial welcome as be.
fore on the part of the spectators.
When she passed the stand this time

Joined with the others in the applause.
A bow from Doble and they were away
to her quarters, followed by echoes Of
the 5000 voices in the grounds
At just 5:15 they appeared on the
stretch again. This time the applause
was deafening. Handkerchief and;
parasols were waved; voices expanded
to their utmost; young and old and
everybody cheered. The old gray pater
forgot himself and let loose one of those
yelIs that were the pride of his boy.
hood Even the old ladies contributed
their quota to the general chorus.
Nancy's first quarter was gone in 80
seconds; the second quarter was but a
second slower, and this was gone under
constant effort of her driver to talk
her back; 1:O1 to the half twas consid-
cred little too fast by Doble and he
coaXed her to a slower gait for
the next quarter. The breeze be-
gins to strike her; it is hard thing to
rate a fast mile by quarters, and the
third flag is reached a second or
two slower than was intended, but
here Nancy was given her head
and she finished strong and in the face
OF a northwest wind in 3114 seconds.
Another noticeable feature" saws
Doble, was the condition of the mare
after her mile. Within fifteen minutes
after she reached her stall she was az
fresh and lively as young colt, and nc
one would dream that she had made
the greatest trial Of her life"
"Oh, yes, the kite tracks are faster
than the regulation shape. How many
seconds | would not say. But there Is
not the shadow of doubt about it."
