CRESCEUS' OLD MARK STANDS
Both the TrOtter's Efforts to Lower IL

Fails.

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. H,-Cresceus
the worlds champion %trotter, twice tried
to break his own record OF 2;02h at the
each time. In his first attempt the great
stallion made the mile i'm 2:0S and his time
in the second trial was 2:O5, Six thousand
persons were present.
In his first trial Cresceus was going well,
but on the stretch, about 200 yards from the
finish, the trotter broke badly and lost
what little chance he had Of equalinR his
best figures. George n. Ketcham, Cres-
ceus' owner. announced that he would
make a second trial. and a half hour later,
after the stallion had been rubbed down,
he was sent out again. This time he did
not break and came under the wire in
2:O5. Cresceus was paced by two running
horses. Mike the Tramp and Gray Gown.
A very strong wind blew diagOnally across
the track. which somewhat interfered with
the stations work.
The time of the two trials was as fol-

rloUs HORSE ACTS RATHER OEWllsH
Breaks Often EnOuRh and Badly
Enough 20 Let Lord Derby In by
FiHe Lengths at New
York Track.

NEW YORK, Sept. 1.-THE racing was
decidedly exciting at the Empire City track
today. The weather was fine, the track
fast ami speculation brisk.
In the special between Lord Derby and
The Monk the former was choice at 100 to
so. The Monk had the pole and c. x. G.
Billings lost no time In sending him to the
front. He led by two lengths up to the
top OF the stretch, when Smathers sent
Lord Derby for one OF those electric fin
ishes for which he has become famous. He
was just a little too late, however, and
though The Monk was firing. he managed
to win by a nose. The finish brought the
occupants OF the grandstand to their feet
and both horses were loudly cheered.
The betting was now 100 to as on Lord
Derby. The Monk again led to within fifty
yards OF the wire, when Lord Derby won in
a superb drive on by a neck. Pools now
sold so to rs on Lord Derby. and the pair
got a perfect start, going like a team to
the back stretch, where The Monk broke
and Lord Derby came on and won by Ave
lengths. This Is the fastest race OF three
heats to a wagon ever trotted. The time
in the second and third heats was 2:06
and in the first 2:06h.
In the 2:09 pace, mile heats, two in
three, Don Riley sold 100 to 5 for the field.
He led all the way TO the wire. Albert
was now the choice at 2 to 1 and led to the
half. but on the stretch Don Riley came
with a grand burst of speed and won by
a length, Home Circle getting the place.
In the third heat it was ? to l on Don
Riley, and he won in an exciting finish.
There was a big surprise in the 2:16 trot,
for which Prince Selma was sold at even
money against the field. Invader won in
straight heats. In the first heat Prince
Selma was a good second to the three
quarter pole, when he broke and fell back
to last. Invader won the second heat in a
most exciting finish with Prince Selma.
Scott Hudson then requested the judges to
allow Geers TO drive Prince Selma. The
change did no good, as the horse broke in
the back stretch and ran all the way home,
being distanced for running. Results:
