Harlem and Portland.
Special to the REcoRp-UNroS.

then another record finally yielded itself
to a horse when sweet little Alix tied the
worlds trotting record made by Nancy
Hanks over this track two years ago.
The first record TO be smashed was done
by Carbonate, the two-year-old PAGER,
bred by Dubois Brothers of Colorado.
1t was not an ideal racing day, damp
southeast wind rather taking the life out
of the track. But even at that it was fast,
as shown by the miles done. The gray
colt went away with runner, going TO
the half in lost. He finished the mile
well within himself at 2:084 clip.
The fourth heat of the PIG trot, won by
Expressive, was sensational, the stout
three-year-old filly lowering her mark
three-quarters of second, and placing to
her credit the fastest fourth heat ever
gone by one of her age.
The 2:l7 pace furnished surprise IN
the fifth heat. Tommy Brown and Ga
Zette made dead heat of it. Under the
rule these two horses alone will contend
tomorrow for the deciding heat.
The wonderful performance of Alix in
tying the worlds record, made over this
track two years ago by Nancy Hanks,
surprised everybody. 1t was believed
that the conditions were untavorable for
a record breaking effort. The mare got
away well, the runner Ferdinand setting
the pace. Around the turn she SHE'D
where some dirt from the scrapers had
Inadvertently been left on the track, and
Mcdowell says the mare lost fully
second. She was at the quarter in SO
seconds. The second quarter (up the
hilD was done in 324 seconds. In the fast
third quarter her speed was terrific, the
little mare coming like whirlwind, and
tying Nancy Hanks record (0:294) for the
Il Il tI<af h
in 81 seconds without sign OF distress.
Mr.. Salisbury is confident he can capture
the worlds record on this track and will
start Alix again Friday.

record of 2:024, and Joe Patchen will start
Friday to beat the stallion record.
