New York, Aug. is.--Dan Patch today broke the worlds record for pacers bv going 2 mile In l:59. driven by Mcfzenry. at Brighton Beach. The previous record of 1:59 IA was paced by Star Pointer in lSs7 and by Dan Patch in 1909.
 There was stiff breeze blowing which | struck the horses fairly in the face. The track was little slow, but the effect of the wind was discounted by sending a runner in front while a second runner galloped alongside. In view of the ad- verse conditions. the announcement was made that Dan Patch would go against the track record of 200 3-4 but would also try to beat the worlds record of i:5a l-4. When the unbeaten pacer appeared on the track he was loudly cheered and after few preliminary warm-ups he received the word. With a swift. frictionless stride. he shot from the wire and seemed determined to push his nose Into the fiy- ing sulky which the thoroughbred in the shafts was steadily pulling ahead. On swept che pacer to the quarter In 0:29 1-l and when the half mile pole was flashed past in 0:59 3-4, great volume of cheers went up from the vast crowd. Then came the difficult top turn and the slowest quarter of the mile. the three-quarters be- ing done in 1:29 1-4. But down the stretch as swift and steady as a iocomo- tive he came and as he shot under the wire the watches stopped at 1:59
 The new champion was not all distress- ed and looked as though he would be able before the season Is over to lower his own record. The betting was even money either for or against his beating the record.
 The opening event was d dash of . mile and half for the 2:07 pacers for which Beausant was the choice at to 5. but Locanda. to 1, won easily. For the $5,OOO Kentucky purse for s-year-old trot- ters. Ethel Pride was the favorite at sl0e to $50. Mary Gage led in the first heat all the way home with Ethel Pride close up. The finish was exciting, the 9arorita losing by head. She won the naxk three heats with q little to spare 2:07 pace. S1,O00, mile and half da1h. Locanda, br. h.. by Allerton- Katrink tbroodhnel,.. .-.................4-s 1 Winfield stratton.
