LOU DILLON STILL FAST
Champion Trotter Is Driven a Mile
onNew York Speedway in
1894.

1t was the intention of c. K. G..
Billings to bring Lou Dillon (1:5Sh9
and the rest of his stable to the speed
way in New York yesterday afternoon,
and many of the spectators were dis
appointed when it was learned that
business had called Mr.. Billings from
the city and that the queen of trotters
would not be seen in the regular pro-
gram.
Earlier in the day Mr.. Billings and a
few friends visited the drive and had
an hours sport driving the different
members Of the stable against each
other. Then it was decided to drive
Lou Dillon a half-mile against time,
and a man was stationed at the start
ing post to give the signal to those
stationed at the finishing post. Mr..
Billings drove the mare to a wagon.
The cleancut chestnut stepped over
the straight course at a high rate of
speed, trotting the half-mile in so.
Over the lower stretch she was sent a
quarter of a mile against time, but
so far as learned no outside watches
recorded the effort. Report credited
the mare with trotting the distance in
:27A, but, this could not be verified.
i At Chattanooga. Tenn. Tuesday, as
| Cresceus, 1:59&, the champion trot-
| ting stallion, was being rubbed down
in his stall after his drive he was Wis
tied by an admiring crowd, among
whom were some women. Mrs. Jack
Cudahy showed more temerity than
| the others, and, accompanied by Mr.
| Ketcham, Cresceus' owner, she ven.
tured into the stall. Cresceus showed
no objection until Mrs. Cudahy at
tempted to take his nose between hel
two hands. Then he leaned back his
ears. Mrs. Cudahy wore a stylish hat
the brim Of which slanted upward
This seemed to especially annoy Ores
ceus Reaching up, he took the brim
between his teeth and gave it "a short
hard jerk. The hat came off, and Mrs
Cudahy retired precipitately Mr.
/ Ketcham apologized, but the packer
4 wife laughed and said it was all he
fault. The hat was ruined.
4 The Wichita, Kan, track, owe
which Cresceus trotted in 1:59A, Oct
i 10, was remeasured yesterday AM
found to he two feet over mile ii
length. The remeasurement was de
manded by the American Register as
ISOLATION and will be submitted as evi
4 dence in favor of Cresceus when TIL
case comes up before the board OF ap
peals.

big ''Y'' drawn on the front Of his uni
form. and the cheering and laughter
which greeted this act of fun were
long and loud.
The varsity succeeded in scoring two
touchdowns on the wearers of the

ceiving punts showed UP with fore
boding frequency. Barney and Brad

ever, is thought by the majority of the
students TO have been only temporary
I Miller was out at full again and
seemed to be entirely recovered from
1 his injury Of last week.
This Was the last game that the
varsity will have with the scrub team
To-day and Friday there will be only
! a test practice in receiving punts anC

New York Sun Special Service.
Chicago, Nov. 12.--'I am certainly
well pleased with the showing the men
have been making this week. They
have been getting into the game with
more speed and determination than
they have shown at any time this
season, and 1 feel confident that they
will give an exhibition Of team work
In the remaining games they have to
play that will put new hope into the
minds of those who have lost faith in
the ability Of the team to continue to
play up to the high standard they set
for themselves at the beginning Of the
football season.
With these words Coach Mccormack
expressed his satisfaction with the
work of his team after the practice
Yesterday. The work was the hardest
the men have been given since the
Chicago game consisting of forty-f1ve
minutes scrimmage, followed by half
an hours signal practice. In the
scrimmage the regulars lined up
against the scrubs who were rein
forced by half a dozen alumni.
The scrub eleven proved to be the
strongest the varsity has been against
this week, and it, was only half an
hour of hard line plunging and 25-
yard run by McCann that they were
able to score.
