CHILLIcoTHE co.. Oct. 4.-The grand
stand and grounds on the fourth day OF
the driving park meeting was filed to
overflowing, over 10000 people being
present The chief feature of the day was
the special, in which Flying Jib was to
go against the worlds pacing record OF
2:0l4, which was made by Westmont at
Chicago ten years ago. Monroe Sails
bury, the owner of the mare, drove out
Jib and running mate attached to a
pneumatic tire in the afternoon, aud the
famous Californian and mis- flyer were
greeted with cheers by the immense
audience. After taking turn around the
track Andy Mcdowell, the only driver
that ever drove PAGER in less than two
minutes, mounted the seat and took the
reins. He got away Immediately, and it
was apparent to every horseman present
that the clip was a record d-breaker if he
kept it up. At the quarter the pace was
unbroken, and as he lit out for the half
his speed was maniieStly increasing.
The tagman was not at the quarter
post, owing to misunderstanding, and
the judges watches were pressed for the
first time at the half, which Flying Jib
reached in 0:59 flat. At the three-quarters
the great PAGER appeared to fater, but
here the time was also lost, and if any
speed was TO be made it was on the
stretch. The last half was made in 0:594.
When the wonderful PAGER darted under
the wire Starter Loper had to ring the
bell to quell the riot Of cheering throatS.
Once 1t was quiet again Starter Loper
said: I'VE have witnessed something
which no audience in the world has seen
before. You have seen the fastest mile
ever paced. Flying Jib has beaten West
mont, and made the mile in 1:5S4.
The audience once more broke out in
cheers and applauded the PAGER as Andy
Mcdowell brought him up in front of
the grand stand. He took of his cap
and acknowledged the salute that was
given him.
The mile that Jib went and the time is
more remarkable when the conditions
are taken into consideration. All day a
strong wind was blowing, and the air
the horse as he came up the back stretch
at the large loop, but he forged ahead.
Another worlds record was broken by
Onaqua, the game little trotter. who has
been doing battle with Expressive, and
was beaten at Terre Haute. She trotted
under the wire in the first heat in the
three year-old race in 2:II3, taking the
