trotting record of 2:0S% for a half
mile track was made by George H.
Ketcham's Cresceus Thursday after
noon. Ketcham drove him. and had it

again in the last eighth of the mile.
Cresceus was paced by Mike the
Tramp, driven by DIR. A. Scott Ives, of
Montreal, and by a steam automobile,
driven by Mr.. Denzer. This was an ex-

demonstrated. The previous record for

Cresceuss Record Has Never Been
Equaled by Stallion.

Dayton, Ohio, Aug. 2s.-George Ketch-
am, breeder, owner and driver of Cres-
ceus, until lately the champion trotter
of the world, arrived in the city today
and worked out the chestnut stallion
on the race ground track. 'Cresceus
is still the champion stallion" he re-
marked. And remains in a class of
his own. Lou Dillon's performance was
remarkable, and I do not believe she
has yet done her best. Cresceus may
never Guido his present record of 2:02A,
as he is too old and has camDaigned
too hard, but he has won a place in the
hearts of the lovers of horses which will
remain always"
