SALE OF EMPIRE CITY TRACK
Famous $75O,OOO Race Course to Be
Purchased by Phil J Dwyer
and Others,
(By Associated Press.)

(By Associated Press)
New York, Aug. 3.-The Herald says:
Built and equipped at cost of closely
approaching $75O,O0O, the Empire City
race track is soon to pass from the estate
of William H. Clark. whose brains and
money created it, into the hands of CO.
terie of turfmen who propose to place the
plant on par with any that New York
possesses.
The transfer will be made either
through a private transfer or foreclos-
ure sale under a mortgage on the prop
erty held by the Washington Life Insur-
ance Co. The only difficulties in the way
in the past have been legal obstacles and
Isaac Fromme, the city registrar, who is
counsel for the administrators, Mrs.
Clark and her brother, John B. Sexton,
the president Of the board of health, says
that it has been thought wise to allow
the property to pass into the hands of

George n. Ketchum's Great Stallion
Does Mile in 2:O2 Ia, Lowering
His Own Mark by Half Second
Covered First Half in 50 ga, '5e
the Fastest Time Ever Made
(By Associated Press.)

(By Associated Press)
Columbus, Ohio, Aug. 3-Cresceus
champion of the trotting turf, added
more laurels to his fame yesterday by
trotting a mile in 2:O2A. reducing by half
second his week-old record Of 2:O2N
made at Cleveland Friday week. The
first half was trotted in :59a4, the first
time that distance has been covered in
less than one minute by trotter. The
time by quarters was :29A, :59N, 1:SON
2:02A.
A stiff wind, blowing directly up the
stretch, kept him from stepping faster
than 2:02. More than 1900 people went
to the driving park to see the trial. 1t
was brilliant exhibition and immense
enthusiasm for the horse was mani
tested.
In the overnight pool selling a great
deal of money went into the box at the
odds of $25 to ST. on time against the
trotter. At the track, owing to the fierce
wind, the odds against the horse in
Cresceus We're game and took the short
end as long as pools wire sold. ri
At 5:45 o'clock the stallion was brought
out for the trial. Tim Murphy Rean, his
trainer, was ready to accompany him
with runner, and Dan Laho waited at
the half mile post to take him on from
there. On the fifth score, Ketchum
nodded for the word. but Cresceus was
not in his stride and he pulled up at
the first turn to try it again. Down
to the wire he rushed, the runner ITO
lengths behind and this time it was Q
go. y
Gamely facing the breeze, the cham
pion started on his journey, moving with
apparent ease and at his greatest speed.
The runner caught him a. the quarter
and sigh went up from the breathless
throng as the time went up-a quarter
of second '~~~ +hnn 80 seconds.
Now the wind was at his back and
realizing the advantage Ketchum kept
him at great clip. The half-mile pole
was reached in :5sA seconds. a record
never before attained, and here the Sec
ond runner caught him up.

CreSCeuS, Champion Trotter
AGAIN Lowers Worlds Record

Into the far turn and around it the
great stallion Numbered, his mighty
muscles and machine-like stride carry
ing him as if on wings. The three-Quar-
ter pole was reached and passed in the
wonderful time of 1:30A.
Then came the trial, for as Cresceus
turned into the stretch the wind beat
him in the face and held him back by
it's force. For the fraction of second
he seemed to falter, but his drivers voice
was in his ears, and on he came.
With great courage he plunged in to-
ward the finish with weakened stride
and in spite of the buffeting of the
breeze flashed under the wire winner
against time. But for the wind against
which Cresceus struggled it is believed
his time would have been a second
faster. It was the most wonderful mile
ever trotted on any track
Enthusiasm broke loose as soon as the
horse had passed the wire. The crowd
rushed onto the track to greet the
champion and a huge wreath of flowers
was hung round his neck. Mr.. Ket-
chum, owner and driver, was carried to
the judges stand and called upon for a
speech. In a few words he expressed his
appreciation of the interest taken in the
attempt. his trust in Ohio horses and
his confidence in his own great trotter.
Cresceus was not unduly fatigued by
his effort and half an hour later SEEM
, ed ready for another mile.
The two other great events of the
closing day of the grand circuit meet

fast time. Summary:

TAKE GOOD CARE OF HORSES
English Claim Methods Employed by
Them Are Better Than Those
of Amar1cans

An English groom who spent 20 years
in the stables of royalty thus spoke Of
the way we treat horses in America and
the way they are treated in England:
''You." he said, do not take good
care of your horses. You think you do
but you do not. When a horse comes
in all wet with perspiration you let him
stand in the stable and dry with all the
dirt on. In England we take the horse
as he comes in from a drive and sprinkle
bloOdwarm water all over it from head
to feet. Then we scrape it down and
blanket it. rubbing the legs and face
dry.

Many Thought Fourth Race Should

of Ell Mido-6ike Races at the
Saucer-Cricket Challenge Ac
cepted-Other Sport Gossip
of Iuteras'

Like Thursday. yesterday was a day
for the mud larks, only two favorites
out of six, bringing home the stuff that
makes the mare go 1t was a bad day
for the talent and would have been as
featureeSs as the average had it not
been for a sensation of a mild character
in the fourth race. The sensation was
the result of a close decision which gave
the race. a seven furiongs selling. to Ell

vorite Lee Metford at , to 10. Opinions
We're divided as to which horse won. the
holders of Ell Mido tickets being perfectly
satisfied and the holders of Lee Metford
tickets being loud in their denunciation
of the judges.
The race was SO close that one must
have been right at the wire to properly
judge it, 1t is only fair to say that the
judges We're better able to see the finish
than those in the grand stand or else
where. 1t can be stated without fear of
successful contradiction too. that when
the judges gave the race to Ell Mido they
honestly believed him the winner. The
judges ought to know too. Deveraux was
third in the race. The time was 1S21s
