LOU DILLoN's GREAT rRoT
splendid Mare Goes a Mile in 2.O1L
Equaling Record.

foorly paced, short of work and over a
track as hard as flint, Lou Dillon at Mem
PMS yesterday trotted mile without a
pacemaker In front in 2.O1A, euualing the
"orio record made over the Memphis
track on October "a by Major Delmar
Everything considered, it was one of the
greatest miles ever trotted The supple-
mental meeting of the Memphis Trotting
Association, which was scheduled for No
Vember g. 4, and T. was postponed until
Yesterday on account of the bad condition.
OIL the track, which resulted from the ha nd
rams or last week. But the meeting which
was started yesterday was regular in every
oetaii, ana Murray Howe, secretary of the
memphis association, has left no stone un-
turned to make it certain that any record
made will stand
When the mare came on the track she
. was worked once the reverse way of the
track ana then sent away at the first
score She was turned only fifty yards
from the wire and given a short start as
wizard sanders, who drove the mare well
knew that she was short and would not
be able to go the whole distance at her
pest emp. She went away slowly, but gain
ed terrific Roadway before she reached
the hrst turn and reeled off the first quarter
IN o.Z9A. Still increasing her speed she
went on to the half and passed that mark
In o.59A. Going up the back stretch and
rounding the far turn the mare had to face
the WIND, and although a runner picked her
up at the half she was only able to reach
the three-quarters pole in 1.2ON. From this
point on Willard Sanders was forced to
drive hard to keep the mare going. AS her
trainer had predicted before the trial she
was able to last to the seven-eighths pole
and no further. But, under the whip, she
fought her way down the stretch and finish
ed the mile, all In, in 201A
The mare will be sent again on Friday
In speaking of the coming trial Sanders
said: IF the weather Is good and the
track fast win send the mare close around
minutes or never drive another trotter as
long as l live"

WINNING JOCKEYS.
Hildebrand Still Leads With 1877
Hrsts to His Credit.

No change was made. in the list of wiz
ming jockeys during the last week. and as
the season is drawing to a close they will
almost assuredly remain about as they are
Hildebrand, the popular little rider, is
the leader, with Redfern second and O'Neil
third. AS the latter has stopped riding for
the season, Redfern will surely finish Sec
ond, the same position that he held last
year. At that time he was only a few
winning mounts behind the leader, Fuller,
but this year Hildebrand has held the hon
ors almost from the start and now doubles
the total figures of his next rival.
Durings the last two meetings Crimmins
Schilling and Sperling have shown marked
improvement in their work, and these boys
will not be idle during the winter months,
many owners of horses eager to
cure good lightweight riders for their win
ter campaign. The records Of the riders
are follows.

Plans are being prepared, 1t is stated, for
a new dredging machine, to be built at Bal
timore during the coming winter. for the
Potomac Dredging Company for use in
taking sand and gravel from the beds in
the Potomac river. The new dredge will
be something new in that class of boats
and will be one of the largest in service on
the river. 1t is to be ready for use early
in the spring and will dig sand and gravel
for the local market. The dredge of the
Potomac Company built at Alexandria last
spring and summer Is at work on the river,
but for some reason the results obtained
from it have not been satisfactory to its
owners. improvements will be made in
this machine during the coming dull sea-
son that will make 1t more efficient. The
tug Marion Cameron will not begin working
for the Potomac Company until next spring.
The demand for fresh fish of all kinds
continues quite heavy at the wholesale fish
market the 11th street wharf but the

on hand from river sources. Prices continue
high for almost every grade of fish.
The arrival of several vessels with oysters
aboard at the oyster dock yesterday after
noon and last night had an enlvening eff

was fair demand for the bvalves. Small

of the old naval steamer Phlox. at Alex

The wreckers also removed the pilot house

and gained ground on every play he was In.
Phelan at right end was as quick as car
In getting down the field on punts and his
tackling was high class. Church played his
accustomed good game and smashed Cen
trails line for gains repeatedly.
Only once during the game did Central
have a chance to score 1t was when Kent
on double pass broke through right end
and set sail for Westerns goal. But little
Morse was waiting for him. and downed
him after he had gone about twenty yards.
Those who watched the game from the
side lines remarked on the cleanness OF the
playing throughout. No smuggling such as
was claimed in the Central-Technical game
was INDUCED in by players on either slde.
The winning of this game gives Western
the lead for championship honors. Her
next opponent is Technical, who played
tie with Central last week.
