NEW YORK, Nov 1.-The trotting
match between Directum and Mascot
proved to be no sensation at all, SO far as
the race itself was concerned. There was
but one horse in it. The only sensation
on the days programme was the enorm-
Gus crowd which gathered at the Fleet
wood track to see the sport, between six
and seven thousand people being present
After the first heat, during which Mascot
broke badly twice, it was hard to get
even money on the black horse. After
Mascot had again shown decided break
ing proclivities in the second heat, the
odds turned to 800 to $50 on Directum's S
winning in three straight heats.
Directum won the toss for the pole, and
when they were sent away in the first
heat OH the second scoring, Directum got
pretty nearly half a 1ength advantage.
The horses had not made over a hundred
yards when Mascot threw up his heels in
a shameful break, and lost five or six
lengths. Kelly held Directum back
until Mascot got within length of him.
Mascot broke again, and Directum had
things his own way to the finish, which
he passed at least five lengths ahead of
his opponent. Time 2:I04.
Directum got a little the best of the
easily, passing under the wire fully four
lengths to the good. Time, 2:074.
In the third heat Directum was in ad-
vance when the racers were told to go,
and increased his advantage before the
first turn. The pair went for the half
mile with Mascot's nose well on to the
wheels of Directum's sulky, and then the
black horse shot ahead like a bullet.
Mascot, however, kept going all the time,

again tapped the leader. Kelly then, for
the first time during the match, COM
PEELED Directum to exert himself, and he
put half length between the racers.
Andrews kept the gelding moving, but
could not decrease the lead, and in those
positions the contestants passed under
the wire in the third heat. Time, 2:S3.
Another interesting event to-day was
the ten-mile trot of Pascal, holding the
record for that distance made at Stock
ton, CAL, of 27:234. To-day Pascal made
the distance in 26:l5, thus knocking off
l:084 from the worlds record, and that, be
it remembered, on the usually slow
Fleetwook track He trotted off the
miles as follows: First. 2:324; second,
3:04I; third, 1888; fourth, 1918; fifth, l2:5l4;
sixth, 1881; seventh, 1S:l04; eighth,
2l:494; ninth, 23:321, tenth, 26:15.
Another record beaten on the finely
prepared track was for the members
cup, to be taken by any members team
that would beat the record of 2:l91.
Matthew Riley's team, Clayton and Ref
erence, made the mile in 2:lS4.
NANCY HANKS AND ARIoN DIDN'T START.
