 Lexington, Ky. Oct 15.--The six fastest heats ever trotted in one race failed to produce winner in the rich Mcdowell stake yesterday. The race is for 2:10 trotters and the purse is 5000. Two heats were won by Monte Carlo, Hawthorne and pr Strong each. The deciding heat was postponed on account of darkness and will be trotted to-day. The previous worlds record for six heats in race was made in the Tran. sylvania last year, in which the heats were trotted in an average of 2OS HIP. The six heats yesterday were trotted in an average Of 2:0S 7-12.
 Five other records were broken ill the Mcdowell stake. Hawthorne re- duced the track record from 2:065a, held by Prince Orange, to 2:O6A. She by Charley Herr; reduced her own re- cord, from 2OS& to 2:06A and equaled the record for the fastest heat of the year made by Ferreno at Oakley.
 Monte Carlo reduced his own record from 2.O71a to 2:O7&, and Dr Strong reduced his record from 2:1oA to 2:091a.
 The McDowell stake created more excitement than any other race during the meeting. Dan T., the favorite. was drawn after the second heat The first two heats were won by Monte Carlo. Hawthorne took the third heat. Monte Carlo came in first in the fourth heat. but was placed fourth and last by the judges, Scott Hudson, driver of Hawthorne claiming a foul The judges allowed the claim over the bowling protest of the crowd which had bet heavily on Monte Carlo. Hudson asserted thar~>Walker drove Monte Carlo, struck Hawthorne across the face with his whip at the head of the stretch. The judges saw Walker illegally using his whip. Flaw thorne immediately broke, but finish ed second
 The judges took the testimony from horsemen and disinterested witnesses who saw the act and they testified Hawthorne across the face with his whip. A fight was narrowly averted in the judges stand between Hudson and Walker. The crowd booted the decision when Hawthorne was an- nounced as heat winner.
 Fourth money will go to The Roman, the only horse except the heat winners thas finished inside the flag in five heats.
 Jockey Frank Miller was almost in- stantly killed during the running of the closing race at Brighton Beach yesterday afternoon.
 Miller had the mount on C1ytie, and just before the field, which was large one, reached the far turn, there was a mfx-up and cry of horror went up from those in the grandstand when Sonoma Belle was seen to fall.
 The cry was duplicated a moment later, when another horse was seen to fall over the prosrate form of So- noma Belle. The second horse to go down was Miller's mount, Clytie.
 Sonoma Belle was well up in the bunch of horses when she fell, and the stragglers made frantic efforts to go around One of them, which one is not known, jumped squarely on Mill ler's breast, and when the field had passed on he was seen lying on the track, apparently unable to move.
 As soon as the field had finished and the track was clear the ambulance, with the clubs physician, James E. Thompson in attendance, hurried to the spot. Miller was brought to the secretary's office, back of the grand stond. When he was taken from the ambulance to the building the mark of death was upon his face.
 Dr Thompson, after a hasty examin- ation, saw that the end was only question of minutes. A messenger was sent for a priest, but Miller breathed his last just before the priest arrived. #.
 Dr Thompson said that Miller's death was due to the blow he received in the breast. which brought on an internal hernorrhage.
