The two minute line was passed at last
on Saturday, when the pacing stallion
Star Pointer. at Resdville, NJ 1885,. paced a
mile in SGT. establishing new world
record. Last September John R. Gentry,
another pacing stallion, made the distance
in 004. A few years ago it was scarcely
believed by horsemen that any horse in
harness would ever pass the two minute
mark, but lately the exploit has been ex
pected The use of pneumatic tires aud
ball bearings on racing sulkies gave the
trotters and PAGERS new advantage, but
} the horses have been developing steadily,
and that so clearly In the liue of iudiciouf
! training and breeding that rivalry il
Z keen, and there is little chance that any
} of the kings and queens of the turf will
f. long wear the crown. The first horse tc
] 90 a mile in harness under two minutes
. | has an unique distinction, however, Of
3 W hieh not even the future cutting dowr
3 of that record can rob him. The time BY
Quarters was 30. 500, 1.29, and 1891
? The third quarter was the fastest, 49,
seconds, L. 81 gait.
