ing, and Monday morning Davis was

friends and relatives of the girl arose
and made for the prisoner. For a
time there was a wild scene and the

Columbus, Ohio, Aug. 3.-Cresceus
the champion trotter of the turf. add
ed more laurelS to his fame yesterday
by trotting a mile in 2:02A reducing
by a half second his week old record
made at Cleveland last Friday The
first half was trotted in 1914, the first
time the distance has been covered in
less than a minute by trotter. The
time by quarters was 29A, 1914
1904 and 2:02A.
More than 10000 persons journeyed
to the driving park and intense en-
ed. The weather at noon was I'm
promising, the sky lowering and over
cast and few drops of rain fell but
not enough to hurt the track, which
was In excellent condition. Later the
sun came out but the wind blew
strong. Shortly before o'clock the
owner, ketcham, appeared on the
track with Cresceus for the warming
up. The champion logged three slow
miles, then rested for an hour, when
he took another Whirl round the track
finishing the workout with a mile in
2:151a.
1t was nearly when the stallion
was brought out for the final per-
torrance. On the sixth score
Ketchum nodded for the word and the
champion started On the Journey,
moving with apparent ease and at
thrilling speed. The runner caught
him at the quarter and with the wind
at his back, the grand horse passed
the half in 1914 seconds, while the
crowd broke into applause at the rec
ord breaking figure.
Turning into the stretch Cresceus
caught the bitter wind squarely in the
face, but the drivers voice offered en-
couragement and on he came. With
that indomitahle courage which makes
him what he is, he plunged toward
the finish with unweakened stride
and in spite of the WEAKNESS and buff
fetting of the breeze flashed under the
wire against the wind in the greatest
race ever tTOtted But for the wind
1t is believed the time would have
been at least a second faster. A
huge floral wreath was hung around
the wonderful animals neck while the
owner was carried by the enthusiastic
crowd to the judges stand where he
made a brief speech. Yesterdays
card ended the meeting.
