LOU DILLON At NARRAGANSETT

VIII Lou Dillon, the peerless two-min-
ute queen OF the trotting world. who low
cred Cresceus' record at Readville, Mon
day, visit Providence next week? Horse
men are asking the question earnestly to-
day. According 10 the officials OF the Mar
ragansett Park association there Is at
least a possibility OF bringing about the
visit President Perkins went 20 Readville
this afternoon for the express purpose or
inviting Mr.. c.. X. @. Billings. the owner
OF Lou Dillon. 10 bring his champion
trotter here for the week OF the grand
circuit. and 10 attempt further 10 reduce
the mares wonderful record
Lou Dillon is not an exhibition horse In
any sense OF the word That Is she will
not be put upon the road for the mere
sake OF financial gain and incidentally 10
make onslaughts on her record, as IL the
case with a good many famous trotters
and PAGERS. Mr.. Billings is a wealthy man
and he enjoys horse racing for the sport
there is In IL. In fact he Is entirely inde-
pendent OF financial considerations, and
an offer OF a large sum OF money 10 bring
Lou Dillon here would not have the
slightest effect upon him.
He was anxious TO give his famous mare
chance 10 go on fast trotting track
after Cresceus' crown. and that is how he
happened 10 start at Readvlle. No one
knew. however. just when the start
would be made. Had not all conditions
been favorable Monday. Lou Dillon would
have been held back Until conditions were
right. Thus the crowds that would like TO
witness the celebrated trotter go for a
record were left somewhat in the dark.
In other words the track management
could not advertise the performance 10
take place on a certain day and hour.
Probably at Readville had IL been known
that the mare was certainly going to
start there would have been twice as
great a crowd In attendance
IL Is believed by local horsemen that the
new queen OF the turf could do as we'll IL
not better at Nnrragansett Park Those
who have examined the condition OF the
local track and have compared II with
that at Reedville assert that the home
course is the equal IL not the superior OF
Readvlle's. This being the case, II Mr..
Billings finds II possible TO accept Mr.
Perkins invitation II Is more than possi-
BILE that local enthusiasts will have a
chance 10 see a trotting horse go a mile
better than two minutes.
