NEW AUTO RECORDS
H. D. Savage Makes Fast Time in the
Pursuit Race at Horse
Show.
Covers Mile in 80 and Five Miles
in s:o3- Meeting Closed
To-day.

A ten-nile automobile pursuit race and
a drag hunt for fox hounds were the fea-
lures Of the horse show at Hamline yes
terday afternoon. In the auto race three
new records were set, H. D. Savage on
E. II. Moulton Jr.'s Peerless machine,
turning the trick. Savage covered the
second mile in 1880, the Ave miles in s:O3,
and the ten miles In 1925. The former
records for the mile and flve miles were
respectively 1919, made by e. H. Moul-
ton last week. and 1884. made by Savage
on Derby day.
The IIamline track has never been re-
garded as specially fast one, and the
is considered that the machine used was
not racer, but an ordinary touring car,
stripped, Savage also holds all records for
the track from the first to the seventh
mile. The marks are likely to stand for
some time.
Only three machines started in the race
E. II. Moulton, Jr., on his Peerless started
at the wire. Savage started from the
third mile post. and A. c. Bennett, oper-
ating George w. Peavey's Winton from
the two-thirds mile mark
T The race was from a standing start, and
Bennett got under way more quickly than
his competitors. He did not long retain
the advantage, for Savage when once his
machine struck its gait, pulled up quickly
on both BENEFIT and Moulton. At the end
of the first mile 1t was patent that Savage
had the race, barring accidents. The con-
ditions were that a machine must drop
out as soon as it was passed, and Savage
overhauled Bennett and put him out Of the
contest in the fifth mile Savage made his
biggest gains on the turns, where his ma
chine showed much greater speed than
the Winton. On the stretch Bennett held
| his own. ,s-: Z;
After passing Bennett Savage set sail

He had gained about a quarter of mile
and the contest was continued for an extra
Ave miles, altho the conditions of the race
called for only the original five. Savage
continued to gain steadily, tho slowly,
and at the end of the ten miles was a third
of a mile, to the good. The time was lost
| for the eight hand ninth miles by the
tirnekeepers. The time for the other
miles follows:
| Mile, las; two miles, 3:18; three miles,
4:55; four miles, SGT; five miles, sos; six
miles, 1856, seven miles, 11:12; ten miles,
15:25h Moulton covered the five miles in
1925.
The fox hunt, novel feature in Min
neapolis, attracted great interest. -Four
dogs participated. Two horsemen laid the
the scent, taking an irregular course about
the field. The dogs were loosed q little
later, and quickly found the scent. They
ran SO rapidly that they lost the trail more
than once, but in all such cases they
quickly picked up the scent again. Sal
ter, owned by A. E. Ashbrook of the Kan
sas City Hunt club Won the event.

show department. AS Before, the outside

open events. Minneapolis owners presented
