BROKE TRACK RECORD
SEARCHLIGHT MADE A NEW MARK
AT CLEVELAND.
The Maid Also Lowered the Record
for Four-Year-OId Pacing
Mares to 2:06 Ia.

CLEVELAND. o., July 2s.-Searchlight.
in addition to winning the 2:04 race from
Anaconda and F1ank Bogash, placed a new
mark to-day for the Chenille track at 2:03l2.
1t was the fastest mile that has ever been
made in harness the Cleveland track;
and the people who saw the race were sat-
isfied with it. The great son of Dark Night
did 1t in one OF the warmest heats that mas
been seen in many day. Another mark
was fixed by The Maid, when in the second
heat of the 2:14 pace she went the mile in
2:06Iz. breaking the record for four-year-old
pacing mares in races, made by Much Bet
ter at San Jose last August In 2:O7A. The
track record at Chenille was 2:03s4 held by
Frank Agan.
The fourth day of the races presented the
best programme so far this week, the star
attraction being the fast pacing race. 1t
proved to be in every way as interesting as
it was advertised to be. With the horses in
good condition, they made good time, and
Searchlight knocked the opinion of the
bookies endwise in winning the race, which
they had scheduled for Anaconda. Cresceus
was the disappointment in the 2:10 trot, but
after winning one heat he was hardly heard
OF, except in wonderful drive in the last
heat. The race went to Elloree. who got
better as the race progressed and finally
won from Tommy Britton and Cresceus. A
peculiar state of affairs existed with the
2:14 pace. The Maid was the favorite, but
Will Tranby was played most against the
field. The favorite in the opening of the
betting finally won the race after dropping
a heat to Tranby. Bessie K. was the hot
favorite in the 2:2 trot, but Dainty Daffo
was the winner.
The crowd which attended the races was
not as large as it had been on the days
preceding. However, about 1000 people were
in the grand stand when the bell called the
2:04 PAGERS out. The threatening rain did
not materialize and the day was an ideal
out, but the races were all cleaned up for
the final days racing. Summary:
