think it helped the track, II anything.
The time in the free-for-all
would appear to contradict
this. The free-for-all was hard
fought, but the time was ordinary Tor
the class. The wind, however, was
against fast work. Il blew almost
gale down the back stretch, yet the
half was not reached by Alix until 1904
had been recorded and the mile was
made in 2:07lS. There is no doubt
that she was put to her best effort and
the task was simply too much for her.
When Directly, therefore, came out
and made his wonderful performance
few minutes later there was much sur
prise. 1t is generally conceded that he
will beat Arion's mark by over Sec
ond before the season closes. Fantasy
gave an exhibition mile In 2:0S. She is
not up TO great trial. The crowd saw
grand contest ia the last
two heats of the freefor-all.
Phoebe Wilkes won the first two
heats rafferty, easily, but in the third
Nightingale came fast az the finish and
made a dead heat with her. Again In
in the next heat Nightingale got almost
to Phoebe Wilkes just before the wire
was reached and the latter broke. The
judges decided to give NJ. Cheney the
heat and race, however, and there was
some dissatisfaction.
