appeared on the track, the chestnut
horse proceeded in the second heat of
his winning race with Lord Derby and
Charley Herr, to lower the track rec
ord for the mile by thfee-auaftefs of
a secoLd, and to break the worlds rec
ord OF final quarters by trotting that
distance in 1884. BY this latter per-
Torrance, Cresceus lowered the record
of thirty seconds for the final quarter
which he himself made at Detroit
about a month ago. when he strobe the
mile in 2:05. The accomplishment of
to-day was not the fastest quarter of
all kinds, for both Peter the Great and
Tommy Briton did the second quarter
of a heat at Lexington, Ky, several
years ago In 29R seconds.
Something of interest was removed
from the free for all trot for purse
of $2,500 when Charley Herr, who was
driven by the owner. David Cahill, was
distanced in the first heat, thus leaving
the affair to Creseeus and Lord Derby,
and there were some who saw the rig
race who believed that the Geers geld
ing would have done something Won
derful in the second and last heat had
he not broken coming home, for on
the last half Of the bend he was in
front of the world favorite.

ton at the scoring and when they
were off in the first heat Charley Herr
had the pole with Lord Derby beside
him and Cresceus on the outside At

eeus, for Charley Herr had gone up in
the air, and at the half Cresceus was
about two lengths in front OF the Geers
horse. At the three-quarters Lord
Derby was breathing into Keteham's
back The Cahill horse was far back
and out of the race.
Coming home Geers got all he corld
out of his gelding. but the mighty
strides of Creseeus brought him ia
ahead by half length. The time was
2:07A. In the second heat Greseeds
drew away from Yord Derby, Until. at
the half, he was Two lengths 10 the
good. At the thfee-quarteHs, however,
the Kentucky horse had his nose at
Cresceus wheel and little later he was
actually ahead of Cresceus, but at that
moment, Lord Derby broke and it was
all over. Ketcham drove him fiercely,
nevertheless, creating the new last
quarter record. The mile was in 200,
the first quarter in 314, the second in
l:0414, and the third in 1864.
