DAN PATCH AGAIN
CHAMPION PAGER
Clips Three-quarters of a Sec
ond From Prince Alert's
Worlds Record.

MEMPHIS. Tenn, Oct. 22.-The third
day Of the harness racing at the Memphis
Trotting associations track was made
memorable by the magnificent perform
ance of Dan Patch in trial against time.
The handsome son of Joe Patchen made
the mile in 1854, clipping three-fourths
of a second from the worlds record OF
1857, held by Prince Alert and lowered
his own record by two and ree-quarters
seconds.
The mile was paced without a wind
shield and at the finish Dan Patch seemed
as fresh and vigorous as at the start.
The demonstration that greeted the
new worlds pacing champion as he nash
ed under the wire was a memorable one.
Horse owners, who stood about the track
before the starters stand, had caught
the time with their own watches and be-
fore the official time was flashed out they
set I'D a mighty shout. The shout was
caught UP by the people in the grand
stand. the space before it and on the
club house grounds and the victory of the
new pacing idol was proclaimed in long,
hoarse roar that rose and fell and reached
its climax in a frenzy of noise as Driver
McHenry pulled up before the judges
stand and DOTTED his hat in acknowledge
ment of the reclamation.
The trial was made with two runners
to set the pace. the sulky preceding the
PAGER carrying a canvas strip between
the wheels The quarter was reached in
80 seconds, the half in So and the three
quarter pole in 1927 Il. AS the horses
swung into the stretch Dan Patch was
pushing the forward runner 80 closely that
scarcely a hands breadth interviewed be-
tween his nose and the back of the driver
in the forward sulky.
With the exception of the 2:0S class
trot the events of the card went to ia
vorites, all in straight heats, except the
first heat. which required a third start
In the 2:0S trot Monte Carlo, the favorite
had the second heat at his mercy, only
to break and lose it within 100 yards of
the wire.
Nervolo, driven by S. Hudson, took the
2:08 pace in straight heats and had en-
durance sufficient left to annex the last
event of the day. the half-mile dash.
