Memphis Trottlng Races.

Memphis, October 25.-That the Mem phis Trotting Association's track is one or the fastest in the country was evil oenced this afternoon, when Little Boy, bay gelding by Kenton, driven by his owner, c. K c. Billings of Chicago broke his former worlds pacing to wagon rec ora or 2:0l% by quarter of a second, completing the mile in 2;O1h. The day was an ideal one for the attempt and the track was specially prepared before the horse was given the final word. Accom- panied by two runners Billings sent Lit tie Boy forward at a terrific pace and when he passed under the wire for start, the horse was extending himself to the limit. Like piece of clockwork Little Boy reached the quarter pole in 30h sec onds. Down the back stretch another runner was waiting to take the champion pacer to the turn for home. The half mile was made in 1:011a while the three quarter pole was reached in 1:311s.
 Turning for the last quarter, MT. Bill lings steadied Little Boy for the final ef- fort and he dashed under the wire with out a break. When the time was an- nouneed the large crowd cheered Justify and MT. Billings was warmly congratu- lated by his many friends.
