THE SPEEDWAY.
Lou Dillon Defeats The Monk
Sugar Her Rezcdrd.

A drilling rain yesterday morning made the
surface Of the Speedway wet and slippery, but 1t
did not prevent enthusiastic road riders from speed
ing their trotters and PAGERS. c. h G. Billings was
out behind Lou Dillon 1:5Slz and. despite the
6itions Of the course he let the queen of trotters

fdence and affection Of Lou Dillon to such an ex-
tent that she viii do more for him than for her
trainer This is true also Of The Monk, which
whinries and asks for sugar after each drive

night longer before sending her to Memphis to go
