too dark TO tell the drivers colors this
evening when the free-for-al pace. in which

record was lowered to-day; that by Fam
tasy. who trotted In 2:06. lowering her own
record made at Fort Wayne this year. of

trotted mile. and the middle half was made
in 1@%.
In 1O1%. Geers held the reins over the
phenomenal four-year-old daughter OF
Chimes and apparently let her 60 at en-
easy clip. Her feat to-day places her Sec
ond only to Nancy Hanks and Alix in the.
race for the honors for .rotting queens.
Only one other horse has trotted a faster
mile that being the stallion Directum,

of no avail. Reflector had made bad
break at the first turn which, with the 2:03Ia
clip Braden was setting TO the three-quar-
tiers, dropped him too far back. When the
