pion OF three-year-olds. his mile In 2:O6k at

colts OF his age. The threc-year-old champion
ship has been in a state Of confusion and dis
pute ever since Directly paced his mile In 3:07k

| ness OF this performance was never questioned,
but IL was rejected on technical grounds by the
compiler ofthe Year Book. who gave the cham
pion record to the Texas colt Judge Hurd,
| 2.00H. In 1890 this record was tied by the
Colorado colt Sulphide. by Du Bois's Superior.
and also by the California three-year-old ARi-
tuto. by Stelnway. Last season Searchlight. by
Dark Night. equalled this mark, making four
colts 10 share the honors OF the three-yenr-
old championship. according to the Year
Book. Other statisticians, however, generally
accepted Directly's performance. The new

PLAY.
Speedway Park was thronged with pleasure
vehicles and sightseers yesterday afternoon,
the number OF turnouts on the new drive being
go large late IN the day that speeding became
the sidewalks, watching the .~trotters from near
the level OF the roadway. while others took q
birdseye view OF the scene from Washington
Bridge and from High Bridge. Although the
southern approach to the new driveway is
something more than two miles north Of Gem
trail Park. quite as many vehicles were in evil
dence there during the afternoon as were on
Seventh avenue and the Riverside Drive.
Sightseers who. expected to witness a
notable show OF speed were disappointed.
A. good many men who occasionally drive
their %trotters to road carts complain OF the in
terpretqtion Of the rules or restrictions framed
