to tho wonderful trotting marc, Nancy
Hanks, and 1904 Is hung out on the
blackboard at Terre Haute, Ind. The
quarter was made in 81, the half in
1;o2%; tho three.quarter pole was
reached in 1925, and the mile in 1904
fiat.
This time made by the peerless daugh-
ter of Happy Medium and Nancy Lee
takes our breath away, and from this
time we will quit guessing about the
time the trotting horse will make
Nancy's time of 2:04 wins for Budd
Doble the prize Of SIS, 900 offered by Rob-
ert Bonner TO the man that would drive
a trotting horse in s:O5 over a regulation
track.
The kite track is not in it this time,
and the mile was trotted fair and square
over regulation track without q skip
or break, and no doubt Budd Doble is
the happiest man on earth. He Is GER
tainlY entitled to all the credit and
honors that were showered upon him.
Tho clever driver was called to the
judges stand and bowed his ackno wledR-
ment, but he declined to say ANYTHING.
Doble is very modest.
We gave history OF Nancy Hanks in
TIE TINES some weeks ago. and at that
time predicted that she would surpass
all records made by any other trotting
horse. Now the question arises in our
minds. has Nancy reached the limit of
her speed. As 1 said before, we will
quit guessing and await coming events
that cast their shadows before.
And now let us look back and see
what the trotting horse has accom-
plished since the year 1914. We give a
list of the champion trotters, showing
the time and record made within the
past forty-eight years, as follows:
