CHICAGO, Aug. 1S.-Another record was
splintered at Washington Park to-day.
Hal Pointer, the PAGER, starting to beat
2:064, went the mile. driven by George
Gecrs, in 2:054, clipping three-quarters OF
a second off the record made by Direct
over kite-shaped track. Hal Pointer
was rated to nicely in his race against
the record, and made the trip practically
without pacemaker.
After a brisk wind had died away, al
600 Geers brought Pointer out and at the
second score nodded for the word. Abe
Lincoln, the runner that ACCOMPANIED
Nancy Hanks in her trip yesterday, lay
three lengths behind him to the quarter
which was reached in 0:3l4. NThe hall
was reached III LOO, with the runner three
lengths behind, and the three-uuarterS in
1884, with the runner still away in the
rear. At the seven-eights Frank Starr
brought the runner level, bat Pointer
was pacing well within himself and
needed no encouragement, for he was
coming Home well in hand, and he went
under the wire in 2:G54, the world record
for mile in harness.
Hal Pointer Is by Tom Hall, dam
