THE "BLACK WHIRL WIND"
DIRECTUM TROTS A MILE AT
FLEETWOOD IN 2:O7H.
The First Half the Fastest Ever Made
by Any Horse on Any
Track-1:OO4.
Special to the REooRD-UN1ox.


FLEETWOOD, Sept. 4-Directum, the
'black whirlwind" from California, to-
day broke the worlds stallion record.
He beat all four-year-old figures, and
went ahead of all marks given to trotters
of five-year-olds, and one-half of his
mile was the fastest ever trotted by any
horse on any track. He was entered to
start against the worlds stallion record of
2:073, made on kits track by Stamboul,
the record of 2:064 made last Thursday by
Nancy Hanks, and the worlds record OF
2:04, made by the same mare. If he
broke the7 track record he was to get a
purse of IS, 900.
When he started away Directum was
followed by a running horse. The black
stallion fairly few to the quarter in :30t.
The journey to the half was all down hill
though 1t had one turn. 1t was passed in
1:004. Then Kelly urged the black STALL
ton with all his skill. He passed the
three-quarters in 1852, and as he did so
the running mate was moved up another
peg. Turning into the stretch Kelly be-
gan slapping the record breaker with the
reins. The horse was pretty well winded,
but continued on his journey at fast and
even pace. Thirty yards from the wire,
however, he appeared to be all through,
and despite Kelly's slaps, tired to a walk
as the watches clicked on the mile.
There was another record broken to-
day. Pascal, black gelding, stepped
five miles in I2:45. This cuts fifteen sec
onds off the best previous record, which
was held by Lady Mac, whose mark was
thirteen minutes, gained on track in
California as far back as 1874.
