THE PACING RECORD.

Performance.

Turf Events Which Lead Up to Yesterdays
Performance.
John r. Gentry is seven years old and
a very handsome horse. He is owned by
William Simpson of New York, a
wealthy broker, and ia by Ashland
Wilkes, dam Dame Wood, by Wedge
wood. He made his record of 2.01H at
Glen Falls, N. Y, in race with Star
Pointer.
1t may be interesting to know how the
and lowered from the one time phenome-
nal mark Of 2.04 to that made yesterday
b. John R. Gentry.
1t was in 1892 that Mascot electrified
the world by pacing in 2.04. Tbs same
year Nancy Hanks equallsd that mark
in trotting. The record of 2.04 stood un-
til 1894, although during these two years
1t was equalled by Flying Jib and On
lien. In 1895 Robert j. began early in
the year q series of record breaking
miles, lowering his and the worlds pac-
ing record successfully from 2.03H to
2. 02% and from that to the mark Of
2. OH, made at Terre Haute about year
ago this month. A remarkable trio of
PAGERS had been contending In free.for-
all races during the last few years, and
keeping up the interest in the worlds
pacing record n they brought 1t down
nearer and nearer to the two minute
mark. These PAGERS were Robert j.,
John R. Gentry and Joe Patohen.
The season of 1895 closed with Robert
J. at the top of the list, with a mark
OF 2ol5z, John r. Gen try, 2031a, and
Joe Patchen with a mark of 2.04 bred
with the former worlds record OF a.O4.
made by Cullen. Flying Jib and Mascot.
This select circle of PAGERS was Joined
early this year by Frank Agan, who
showed his ability by defeating Robert
J. ut Gle veland, July 81, getting mark
of 2.04. Agan has beaten Robert j.
since then and has been beaten by him
but always in fast time. But nothing
was done this year towards reaching the
long waited for two minute mark until
September 2, when John X. Gentry, at
Fleetwood, N. Y, established a worlds
record for the fastest pacing race in
three heats of Q o3 n, 2.0314 and 2.O3A.
Another wonderful performance of the
last few weeks was the time of 2.02A,
made by Robert J. at Columbus In the
fourth heat of race.
The next step downwards towards the
two minute mark was made at Glen
Falls September 8, In race with Star
Pointer, when John R. Gentry equalled
Robert J.'s record of a.0l& in the second
heat. The list of fast PAGERS was increased
by one at Mystic, September II, when
Star Pointer earned the title to the fast
est race on record in free-for-all with
Frank Agan and Robert j., doing the
miles OF the race in 2.0a1S, 2.03k. and
a03A. All of those fast PAGERS with the
exception of Joe Patchen. who has been
seen here once this season, are now at
Rigby with the avowed purpose Of max
ing mile in two minutes, ana as q re-
suit of this puprose John r. Gentry
yesterday placed his mark only half a
second above the long sought for mark
of two mlnutes.
