TERRE HAUTE. Ind. Sept. ia big
crowd OF people cheered Justify to-day
when one worlds record was broken, and
then another record finally yielded Itself
to horse when sweet title AliX tied the
wOIlPs tr0tting 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 II was fast, as
shown by the miles done. The gray colt
went away with runner, going TO the
bal in :05A He finished the miie we'll
within himself al a 2 0Sh clip. The fourth
heat of the 2:16 trOt, won by EXPRESSIVE,
was sensational, the stout three-year-old
fily lowering her mark three-Quarters of
second and placing to her credit the fast
est fourth heat ever gone by one OF her
age. The 2:17 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
tieing the worlds record made over this
track two years ago by Nancy Hanks sur
prlsed everybody. 1t was believed the
conditions were unfavorable for record
breaking effort The mare got away we'll,
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 hill. was done in 32A sec
onds. In the fast third quarter her speed
was terrific, the little mare coming like
whirlwind and tieiDg Nancy Hanks
record tor the same quarter. She did the
fourth quarter in 81 seconds without
sign of distress. Mr. Salisbury is con-
fident he can capture the worlds record on
this track, and will start Alix again on
Friday.
