PACING RECORD BROKEN.
COLUMBUS, O.. August 4.-The
weather was excellent for racing and
the track in excellent condition at the
Columbus Driving Park to-day, and fast
work was predicted generally. In the
200 pace the best pacing record for
mares. made by Angie D., at Chicago
was broken twice, first by Pearl c., In
FOG 1-2. and later by Lottie Lorraine In
the same time. None of the watches In
the stand, except that of the official
timers, gave Lottie Lorraine so low
record, all showing her time over 2;Oi,
which was the best record up TO to-day.
There is no doubt about Pearls recoiu
breaking, however.
In the 2:is trot, Sanders. the driver OF
Derby Princess, was fined $50 for not
driving to win, but was not ruled from
the course. He was guilty Of a most pal
nable case of holding down his horse.
