MAKE New. R RECORDS
Lou Dillon Tfots a Mile to
Wagon in Two Minutes
Flat.

eight-day meeting of the Memphis
Trottfng association was brought to a
fitting close this afternoon with the
breaking of two additional records for
trotting. Lou Dillon went mile to
wagon in two minutes fiat, cutting a
second and three quarters from the
previous record, made. by herself and
The Monk and Equity, driven by Mr..
Billings, their owner, lowered the
worlds trotting record for mile to
pole, 2;09A, to 2:OS.
The performance of Lou Dillon in the
mile trial to wagon was even more
spectacular than the trial against time
last Saturday, when she went mile in
1:5Sk.
The trial today was made with the
customary two runners to set the mace
and the forward sulky carried a dust
screen. AS the horses drew near the
last eighth pole, the speed of the little
mare was SO terrific that Mr.. Killings
drew her from behind the forward
sulky, and the finish was made in a
drive with the two runners alongside of
the trotter, and all three horses flashing
under the wire the barest noses aparf
The start was made on the first trial
ana the quarter was. reached in 29h
seconds, the half in 59A, three-auarters
In l:2sk and the mile in exactly two
The spectators gave the mare a great
demonstration, but breaking records
mas become SO much part of the
days programme at the meeting that
there was not displayed the enthusiasm
shown Dan Patch. Still Mr.. Billings
and Lou Dillon were given an ovation
when they drew UP before the grand
stand after the performance that was
critical.
The Monk and Equity, driven bv Mr..
Billings, went a mile in easy fashion to
pole in 2:O8,with single runner. driven
Dy DOC Tanner, to set the pace. The
handsome team was driven around the
track at a jog and the runner trailing
oeh1nd, and just before the wire was
reached the runner drew alongside and
under the wire, the three horses went

put after they had passed the mile The
Monk found the strain too severe and
pToke i2I s. into gallop, without influencing
his team mate.
