MEMPHIS. Tenn. Oct 2S.-The oisht-day
meeting of the Memphis Trotting Associa-
ton was brought 10 a fitting close this after
noon with the breaking OF two additional
worlds trotting records. Lou Dillon. Mr..
Billings's champion trotter. driven by her
owner. went a mile to wagon in two min
utes fiat, cutting a second and threc-duar-
tiers from the previous record made by her
self, and The Monk and Equity. driven by
MIR. Billings. their owner. lowered the
worlds trotting record of 2:c9is for a mile
to pole 10 2:OS.
The performance of Lou Dillon in the mile
trot TO wagon was even more spectacular
than tho trial against time last Saturday
when she negotiated a mile in 1:SsE The
trial to-day was made with the customary
two runners 10 set the pace and the for
ward sulky carried wire dust screen. As
the horses drew near the last eighth pole
the speed OF the little mare was so terrific
that Mr.. Billings drew her from behind the
forward suiky. driven. by Doc Tanner. 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 apart. The start was made
on the first trial and the quarter was
reached in 29l2 seconds. the half in -59Az,
three-quarters in l;2Sia and the mile in eN-
the speedy little mare a great denonstra-
ton. but breaking records has become SD
much a part OF each days programme at
the enthusiasm shown when Dan Patcn
paced the circuit in l:56i4. the fastest milc
for a harness horse of which there is any
trotting record OF 1:5Sla. Still Mr.. Billings
and Lou Dillon were given an ovation
when they drew UP before the grand stand
after the performance that was enthusiasts
tic enough TO satisfy the most critical.
The Monk and Equity. driven by Mr.. Bill
ings, went a mile in easy fashion to pole in
2:OS with single runner. driven by Doc
Tanner. to set the pace. The handsome
team was driven around the track at
slow jog, with the runner trailing behind.
and just before the wire was reached the
runner drew along beside and under the
wire the three horses went for the trial
against time. At the quarter the time was
caught IN 81, the a, half was made IN 5:os.
Neither of the trotters gave a hint OF
breaking during the trial. but after they
had passed the mile The Monk found the
strain too severe and broke into a gallop
without influencing his team mate.
The meeting which closed to-day is the
third annual event on the track OF the
Memphis >Trottng Association. and. while
each of the preceding years has given its
quota of new worlds records. neither OF
them has so signally succeeded In the mat
ter of record smashing as the eight days
just ended. Summaries:
