THE GREAT AZOTE.
GALESBURG, ILL, September 5.-This
| has been another record breaking day for
| the Galesburg track, and the great Azote
| was the one to lower his own mark OF
| 2:05 IL, made at Fleetwood a few days
ago, and also to trot the fastest mile
trotted in 1885. Not only this. but 1t is
the fastest mile ever trotted by geldng.
1t was Galesburg-Day. and every business
house was closed up and the people
| turned out by the thousand to witness
| the events on the card.
A strong wind blew up the stretch du-
ring the afternoon, and 1t was not until
| after o'clock that Mcdowell appeared
| on the track with Azote. He was ac-
| companed by runner. and at 615, after
! two attempts were made to get the word,
| the horses were sent away. To the quar-
ter they flew, in 20 IA. and around 10
| the half they went in 1:ol IL. To the
three-quarters, with the runner close to
him, Agote went, and passed the pole
in "a. The clip was fast one, but Nc
Dowel urged his horse little. and he
responded with that determination 50
well known to him. Down the stretch
he came like a bird, and passed under
the wire in 2:N "a. the fastest mile trot-
| ted by any horse this year. The efort was
| greeted by a loud cheer by the crowd.
Tomorrow Alix will start TO lower her
mark of 2:03 "a, made over this track
last year.
