vile, last Wednesday, in the third heat
of his :a"e, which constitutes the stallion
record for all ages, the race-recOrd for
trotters of all ages and sexes, the fastest
mile by four-year-old, and various
other records. 1t was truly II wonderful
mile and littingll closes a season of the
most brilliant triumphs that ever fell to
the lot of any animal. Another notable
performance was the :0Ss of the three
year-old tilly Fantasy over the same
track. Fantasy's career during the
summer stamped her race-mare of good
class, but none expected her equal to
what she accomplished, and she fairly
earned the right to be considered phe-
nomenon. She had previously been
credited with the fastest mile trotted by
a three year-old FLY this season, but she
now enjoys the distinction of by far the
fastest mile ever trOtted by either Il colt
or FLY Of any age, the nearest approach
being the , :l01 of AriOn and SunOl.
Another worlds record shattered dur
Ing the closing days of the season was
that for two-year-Old pacing fillies, held

who went in 2 :lG5 in a race at the recent
Lexington meeting, and Lottie Lorraine,
who last year made IA time-rccord in eX-
pearance of Lena Hill, by William NJ.
Hill, who is now the champion. she went
in 2 M in race. which stood the best
record or the season until Dolly Spank
err race at Lexington, which just equal
ed the previous best on record. But
Tuesday, at Dallas, Texas, Lena Hill
not only placed to her credit the best
mile of the year for fillies of the age and
gait, but also secured the worlds record.
Her performance, too, was in a race,
which makes it even more creditable.
The achievements of these two fillies,
lowering two more worlds records, make
total of ten champion records that have
been reduced this season. while two
more have been cqualed, making total
of twelve out of the twenty-five records
in the table below that have been equal
ed or reduced.
The performance of the yearling filly
Princess Clara, while not the best on
record, is the best ever made in a race.
the records of Frou Frou and Bell Bird
the only ones faster than Princess Clara,
having both been made in dashes against
time. Another change in our list of
champion performances of the year is
the addition of Nellie a. 2:l9, by Wilkes
Boy, as the fastest two-year-old fily in
place of Falfa and Directors Flower,
who divided the honors by their equal
records of 2:20. This performance,
however, is not the worlds record, that
honor belonging to Silicon PASS.
Among other changes are the reduction
of tie record of AXinite, the champion
two-year-old colt from 81 to , :208. and
William Penn. three. year-od uolting
! colt. from :l3 10 2:l24. while May Mar
shall, by Billy Wilkes, already the hold
er of the worlds r. cord for pacing mares

clinched her title to the honor by Aoing
/ in , :0S4, also at Nashville. The follow
