Columbus. o.. Aug. 6.-The free for all
pace for which Robert J., Frank Agan
and Rubenstein were entered, drew an
immense crowd to the Columbus Driving
park this afternoon. The weather and
track were such as to lead TO the expecta-
tion that some record breaking would be,
seen. On the whole the result was all
that could be wished, though the fine eX-
hSbiton of racing was general with no
particular bursts of speed. In all eleven
heats were shown, and the average speed
for them all was 2:0 2l-44. Never before
We're eleven heats paced and trOtted sue
cessive!y in such fast time. The worlds
racing record was broken in another feat
4 fhns aft II
paced the fourth and deciding heat of the
free for all pace in 202%, which is the
! fastest fourth heat ever paced. The quar-
ters of this heat were made as follows:
| 0:S012, 1:0lia, 1874 and 2:02&.
The last half of the third heat of this
race was paced by Robert ]. in 1:OO1a or
in POI gait In the first heat of the 2:16
pace, BufOrt caught his feet in his hobbies
as he was going for the start and fell
backwards. The sulky was smashed and
his driver, Hanson, narrowly escaped. The
| race was held while the horse was sent to
the stable for examination and a new
| sulky. Horse and driver returned and en-
tered the heat coming in a close seond,
which is considered remarkable in view of
| the bad fall.
The four heats of the free for all pace
We're the fastest average for four con-
| secutive heats ever paced. The time was
2:03%, 2:O4la, 2O41z and 2;02%. The time
made by Robert j. in the last heat of the
| free for all pace is within a fourth Of
second of his fastest race record.
