Cresceus, Maj. Dunbar. The Abbott,
or Lord Derby may be pressed by
their owners as possibilities, but most
turf followers believe that Lou Dillon
will retain her well-wOn crown for
several seasons. The fact that she
mace the last quarter of her mile in
20 seconds indicates that she herself
may have n reserve speed that will
bring the trotting record below the
pacing mark for the first time since
the PAGER Johnston reduced his own
mark to 2:06H in 1894 and thereby
passed the trottiug record of 2:09%
then held by Maud s. Since that time
the trotters Nancy Hanks and AliX
have tried for the record with the
PAGERS Mascot, Flying Jib and Robert
