Lou Dillon HauIs Wagon
Mile in Two Flat.
The Monk and Equity Trot Mile in
2.08, Without Trouble.
Wonderful Cutting Down of Former
Records at Memphis.

memphis, Tenn, OCT. .e.-Ine eight
day meeting of the Memphis Trotting
Association was brought to Il fitting
close. this afternoon. with the breaking
Of two additional worlds trotting rec
ords. Lou Dillon, Mr.. Billings cham
pion trotter driven by her owner, went
a mile to wagon in 2 minutes fiat,
cutting a second and three-quarters
from the previous record made by her
self, and The Monk and Equity, driven
by Mr.. Billings. their owner, lowered
the worlds trotting record of 2.094 for
Il mile to pole to 2.0S.
The performance of Lou Dillon in the
mile trial to wagon was even more
spectacular than the trial against time,
last Saturday, when she negotiated a
rliie in J.5Sl%.
The trial, today. was made with the
customary two runners to set the pare
and the forward sulky carried wire
duct screen. AS the horses drew near
the last eighth pole the speed of the
little mare was so terrific that Mr.. Bill
lings drew her from behind the forward
.sulky driven by Dick Tanner and the
nnisn was made in 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 291a
seconds; the half in .59A the three
quarters in 1.2212; and the mile in exact
~ two minutes.
The spectators gave the speedy little
mare a great demonstration when Mr..
Billings drove her up before the grand
stand after the performance.
The Monk and Equity. driven by Mr..
Billings. went a mile in easy fashion to
pole in 2.0S with single runner to set
the pace The handsome team was
driven around the track at a slow jog
with the runner trailing behind and just
before the wire was reached the runner
drew alongside when the team went for
the trial against time. At the quarter
the time was caught in .32lI the half
was made in 1.04: three-quarters in 1.36
and the mile in EOS. Neither OF the
rioters gave hint of breaking during
the trial. but after they had passed the
mile The Monk found the strain too
severe and broke into gallop.
The meeting which closed. today. is
the third annual event on the track of
the Memphis Trotting Association and
while each of the preceding meets have
given its quota, of new worlds records.
! neither Of them has been so signally
successful in the matter of record
smashing as the eight days just ended
