READVILLE, Mass. Aug. 23.-with the
best card of the week the Grand Circuit
meeting at Readville ended to-day. The
great feature was Dan Patch's mile in
2:00A in his effort to break Star Pointers
figure of 1:5914 on this track five years ago
to-day. Dan Patch made a great bid in his
first heat to get inside the record, going
the half in 50 seconds fat, and then break
ing. Driver McHenry Immediately pulled
up the PAGER. driving him home at jog.
In the second attempt the gelding paced
the mile in 2:o05l. breaking his own mark
by half a second. Dan Patch had TO face
a cold, strong wind part of each mile. He
was started out with two running horses
for pace makers. After the first mile Driver
Mcdenry said that the horse started away
at a terrific clip and was well settled into
his stride at the half mile. Just beyond
that point McHenry says, the PAGER struck
the brace on his gig. scoring his leg and
going 10 the first break he has ever made
when at speed.
On Dan Patch's second attempt he was a
second and quarter behind his first trial
at the half. He came home at what looked
a record-breaking clip, but the judges said
the time was 2:OO1.. The time by quarters:
First, 80; half, 1:0oA; three-quarters, 1:30l4.
Another feature was tho great speed OF
Audubon Boy, the handsome Kentucky
horse which went in 2:0314 in both heats OF
the 2:O4 pace. His easy manner in taking
the race made IT apparent that If he had
been pushed there would be another bid
der for a two-minute record. This event
was the best seen at Readville this year.
