PAGERS John R. Gentry and Robert J.,
hitched together yesterday afternoon.
lowered the worlds double team record
for a mile to 2:09 on the track of the
Belmont Driving club. The quarters
were O:33. 1:O414. 1:S7, 2;Os.
The previous record. 2:O9A, was held by
Mrs. w. E. D. Stokes Miss Rita andJosie
B. With the exception of a light breeze
the weather conditions were good for the
trial
Bovine took the turf champions twice
around the mile track for warming up,
and then started for the wire. AS the
team came down the stretch toward the
wire. Gentry who was the near horse,
broke and they were taken back to the
three-quarters post and again started
AS they neared the wire a second time
Driver Bovine gave the nod to starter J.
A. Marshall and they were off amid the
cheers of the crowd. When the watches
recorded SO seconds for the first quarter
the crowd almost lost hope of the team
lowering the record. They going
beautifully, however, and the next quar-
ter proved to be the fastest of the four.
This was made in 31H, 1:04A for the
half mile. AS they past the half mile
post, Gentry's near front knee boot came
down and every time he stepped he
would hoist his leg in effort to free
himself of it. Bovine had the pair well
in hand, though, and the three-quarters
was made in 1877. AS they came down
the stretch the pair for some distance
kept nearly in step and they were pacing
beautifully as they passed under the wire.
