EVENTS ON THE TURF.
A WORLDS RECORD SMASHED ON
THE LINCOLN TRACK.
w. W. p. Establishes a New Mark for
Two Miles-StrathberryA Also Re-
duces His Record.

LINCOLN (Neb.). Oct. 3l.-One worlds
record smashed with ridiculous ease and
the clipping off of half-second from the
best previous record of another candidate
for worlds championship honors were
essentially the features thus far of the
weeks racing meeting. All Lincoln to-
night is sounding the praises of the
sturdy PAGER w. w. p, who not only
establishes a now mark for two miles,
but by covering the distance in 4:224
clips off q full 0:09i of the mark held by
| G. J. Hamlin's Nightingale. Not a whit
behind the Denver horse in popular es-
teem is his victorious competitor in
| Mondays race, Strath hberry, who, with
a record of 2:043 in his flight against time,
came under the wire fresh and strong in
2:044. Both Major Dubois, the owner OF
| w. W. F., and Monroe Salisbury declare
the achievements among the most re-
mark kable in turf history, when the track,
which is fast, but new, and the wind,
which was blowing in the horses faces
on the homestretch, are taken into con-
siderGtion.
To-day's crowd was the largest of the
week, the prospects OF warmer weather
and record breaking bringing hOrsemen
here from all parts of the country. w. w.
T. was first out for the special ovent, with
! Frank Loomis in the sulky. The first
quarter was covered in 0:3l4, too fast q
gait, the experts said. but when the time
for the mile, 2:I44, was hung cut, they
changed their opinion. a running mate
Joined him at the wire for the second
mile, and, with q movement as steady as
clock ork, without urging, he finished
in 4:223
Sirathberry was likewise accompanied
by running mate, but even with this
inducement to fast time no one look ed
for q broken record, which the time,
2:O44, proved it TO be.
The meeting will close Tomorrow with
the iree-for-all trot and 2:l0 pace, and an
attempt by Flying Jib to lower his rec
