Nv ~ l,;a
lucky twoyear- odd, Bingen, for an ex-
hibition mile.
This was Bingen's first appearance be-
fore the Hancock county public and he
was roundly applauded. After warm
ing up trot, Mr. Greedy brought him I'M
without apparent effort in 230 fiat and
could easily have beaten that. The time
at the quarters was follows: 39A, Ill,
1.5i, $50. Thus it will be seen the last
quarter was made in 36-a 2.24 clip. This
WAS done without skip, and without the
whip, and the colt pulled up as "fresh as
a daisy" as one old horseman remarked
The style Of his going was perfect.

yearold in New England to-day His

eddy the State record for a two-year-o old
record on half mile track, and is within
one -quarter of a second Of the two-year-
old record of Emma Westlan made at
Rigby, probab the fastest track in New
England. Nelson's best time as two
year old was . 81.
