Robert J. and Gentry Lower Track and State
Records at Dover, N. Il.

Columbus, Ohio, Aug. 3.-There was
sensational racing again, Tuesday, at
the Columbus Driving park. The
weather was clear and the track fast.
Nicol b., won the 211 pace, postponed
from Monday, taking the sixth and
seventh heats. Four heats in this race
were paced Monday. Pearl Onward
won the fifth heat. Tuesday, in a sensa-
tional finish, equalling the pacing
record for mares, 2.061a, made by Pearl
c., and Lottie Lorraine in the 2.09 pace
at the Grand Circuit meeting on the
Columbus track, last year. Pearl On
ward would probably have won the rec
had not her driver, Spears, been so
badly hurt by an accident while start
ing Rene in the PA trot that he could
not drive again. Splan drove Pearl On
ward the next two heats and she broke
in each heat, allowing Ncol b., to win
the heats and race in slower time.
The fastest heat trotted this season
was recorded in the 2.12 trot, Grace
Hastings taking the second heat in
LOSE. This was the real race of the
day. Floree and Hastings being equal
favorites and both heavily backed TO
win. The accident to Spears, who was
to have driven Hastings, lessened the
chances of the mare to win. All the
finishes in this race were exciting.
Josephine won the 2.20 pace IN
straight heats in easy style and The
Monk won the 224 trot without being
hard pushed. 1t was in this that Driver
Spears was injured, as he was driving
Rene. Just as the mare reached the
wire at the start she stumbled and fell,
turning complete somersault. Spears
had no bones broken, but he was badly
bruised. The summaries:
