MAJOR DELMAR FAILS
TO LOWER RECORD
Famous Trottlng Geiding Un-
able to WreSt Crown From
Lou Dillon.

READVILLE, Mass, Sept. 14.-Al-
though the weather conditions were
ideal and the ReadVille track lightning
fast, Maj or Delmar, the latest aspirant
for record trotting honors, failed to
beat Lou Dillon's performance on the
same track of a mile in two minutes,
principally through poor pacemaking.
The gelding, with the assistance of an
automobile for the first half and a run
ming horse ahead in the second, covered
the miles in 200 ga.
When Major Delmar was brought
out, there was scarcely a breath of
wind blowing and the air was quite
warm. After scoring three times, the
horse was sent away with the automo-
bile slightly behind on the outside.
The quarter was negotiated in 30 ga
seconds, the automobile still keeping
off to the side At the three eighths
pole a runner started in, and at the
half was going in good shape, about
ten yards ahead of the big trotter.
The half was made in l.: 90 1-2 and as
the judges announced before the effort
was made, that such a time at the half
half would be more than salts
factory, the excitement when the time
was posted rose to fever heat.
The two horses, one galloping with
long, easy strides. and the other in
perfect rhythm, with the automobile still
speeding along on the outside, swept
around the curve to the three-quarters,
reaching the pole in 1870 IA from the
start. which made for the third quarter
20 ga seconds.
Everything looked bright for the
smashing of the two-minute mark and
the changing of the sign which has
hung over the gate of the Readville
track just eighteen days. But as the
three passed that sign and come into
the stretch, the runner faltered slight
ly and Mcdonald was forced to pull up
bit. 1t seemed only for an instant.
but that instant meant perhaps a full
second.
Coming to the wire, Mcdonald used
his best efforts to get every particle of
speed out of the fast firing trotter, but
was unable to make up the time lost
at the head of the stretch.
After the effort, Mcdonald said he
believed that Major Delmar could beat
two minutes with good runners and
looked upon the effort today as a won
derful performance.
