The Three Great Racers Meet lat
Louisville and Establish
New Record.

Louisville, Sept 13.-Ten thousand
people attended the races at the
Louisville driving and fair assoscia-
tion yesterday afternoon. A fast track
and bright sunshine favored the great
pacing race in which Robert j., John
X. Gentry and Joe Patchen were to
battle for supremacy. Robert j.,
the great son of Hartford, came off
victorious. But for the fact that
Patchen went into the air when with
in forty yards of the wire in the
fourth heat, there might possibly have
been another ending. Robert j., how
ever, was as steady as clock and
not once during the four heats paced
did he 90 off his feet. The fourth
heat, which was paced in 2:04 IL, es-
tablished a new record, being the
fastest fourth heat ever paced or
trotted by any horse.
