LOWERS WORLDS RECORD
VAN NESS CLIPS OFF THREE-FIFTHS
OF A SECOND AT sHEEPsHEAD.
Covers Six and n Half FurIongs in 1.1S
His Eminence Interfered with and
Beaten in the Handicap.

NEW YORK, Sept. n.-van Ness, carry
ing 1Os pounds, created a new worlds record
at Sheepshead Bay to-day by covering the
six and a half furlongs in a straightaway
course in lis. which is three-fifths of a Sec
ond faster than the best previous time,
made by Jane Holley at Washington Park,
Chicago, this summer. King Pepper and
van Ness raced together to the bend, when
van Ness drew away, and in a hard drive
won by a head from Ascension. which
closed very strong on the rail. King Pep
per was third.
with His Eminence second and Sheriff Bell
third. The f~avOrite, Short Hose, was a bad
last. His Eminence was badly interfered
with at the one-mile pole, and probably
would nave won. as he closed six or seven
lengths from there to the finish.
The Goldenrod stakes for two-year-olds
was won by the odds-on favorite, High Ball.
