MEMPHIS, Tenn, Oct. N.-The special
match race for $1,000 side between the
PAGERS Prince Alert and Sir Albert s., one
heat, at half a mile, resulted in an easy
victory for the former at the Memphis
Driving Park this afternoon. in the remark
able time of SIX seconds. This establishes
a new worlds record for this distance in
a race, beating the former time by 2h Sec
onds. The contest was not satisfactory in
all of its details. After scoring several
times the horses got away from the half
pole In perfect alignment. Sanders imme-
diately sent Sir Albert s. forward and the
the son of Diablo led Prince Alert by two
lengths At the quarter pole Sanders in
creased his lead by three lengths and the
timers hung out ISL for the quarter. Turn
ing for home Sir Albert s., still in COM
handing lead. broke badly, and Prince
Alert, coming along like a piece Of ma
chinery, forged to the front and won by
three lengths. Many horsemen expressed
the opinion that had the California horse
kept his feet the result would have been
quarter of second. The former record
for half a mile was 1:00A. held by Audi
bon Boy.
