Special to the REcoRD-UNIoN.

by Monroe Salisbury's wonderful two
year-old PAGER Directly, who sent the
two-year-old record down from 2:09 to
2:074, and at the same time reduced his
own record two and a quarter seconds.
Twenty thousand enthusiastic people
witnessed the event. 1t was the second
special event of the afternoon following
Robert J.'s failure to reduce his record.
The track was fast and the weather
superb. Directly got away on the first
score and Mcdowell drove him. He had
the pole. Just behind him was thor
oughbred running mate. The pace was
q remarkable one, showing a steady i'm
provement. The first quarter was gone
in 0:32, the half in 1:044, the three-quar-
ters in l:364 and the mile in 2:073 When
Williams made the announcement there
were loud cries for McDowe ell, the famous
driver, who was Obliged to go up in the
grand stand and acknowledge the ovation.
1t was 5:l0 o'clock when Robert j. was
sent off on second scoring. In warm
ing heat he had made the circuit In I'll,
and many thought he would pace great
mile, even ii he failed 10 beat his own
record. Ed Geers was the driver. In
the Judges stand was John Ii. Leash OF
Goshen, Ind, owner of Online, the fast
4-year-old PAGER. Chandler drove the
running mate. Robert j. made the hrst
quarter in 0:30, and expectation ran
high. The half was made IN l:0O3, but IN
the third quarter the great geld1ng
slowed up, passing the pole in l:3l4. The
mile was covered in 2:024. Driver Geers
assigned two reasons Tor the failure OF the
PAGER, namely: that the track was trl1e
too hard for Robert J.'s teet, and that he
was fearful Of the crowd that filled the
entire track, except few feet from the
pole.
Online was then sent to beat his record
of 2:074. He went strong, steady mile,
equalling his record without apparent
effort. The quarters were made in O:3l3,
O:32, 0:3l4 and 0:324, or 2:O74 for the mile.
