CHICAGO, Sept. 15.-The stallion trot-
ting record was broken to 2064, the
worlds pacing record of 2:04 equaled,
and four heats desperately fought from
wire to wire in the greatest race trotted
this year, was the sport witnessed by
Is, 900 people at Washington Park to-day.
The day was not one for speed, the wind
blowing fiercely in the horses faces all
the way down the home stretch.
Before Directum was brought out it
was announced that owing to the high
wind he would be sent against his own
record of 2:07, instead of against Nancy
Hanks record of 2:04 it being conceded
that to equal the latter time on such a day
would be an impossibility. Directum
made the first quarter In 0:33, reached
the half in 1.03 and the three-quarters in
1:344. Turning into the home stretch he
met the full force of a strong wind, but
came to the wire in 2:06t.
1t was almost dark before Flying Jib
was brought out 1t had been the inten-
ton to send him against the pacing rec
ord of Mascot, but on account of the
wind it.was decided to send him against
his own record of 2:054. He made the
quarter IN 0:324, the half in l:02l, three
quarters in 1872, and the mile in 2:04.
Monroe Salisbury of California, who
owns both Directum and Flying Jib, was
apparently the happiest man on earth.
-Four heats were trotted in the free-for-
all and it is still unfinished. Hulda, who
was injured yesterday, was drawn. and it
is stated that she will probably never race
again. In the sixth heat Pixley set a
frantic pace from the start, and made the
mile in 2:092, which, considering the high
wind, was wonderful performance. On
to-day's heats the horses stand: Pixley,
Nightingale, Lord Clinton, Alix, Ryland,
Walter E., Little Albert, Greenleaf.
