 Memphis, Tenn, Oct. 24. Major Del mar, owner by p. E. snlathers, of New York, and driver bw Alta Mcdonald, established new worlds mark for un- paced trotters at the Memphis Driving park eo-day, when he clrcled the track in POI 1-4. The previous mark was POI 8-4, held jointly by Major Delmar and Lou Dillon. To-day's performance was cheered by a large crowd and horsemen generally were of the opin- ion that had weather conditions been more favorable, the son of Delmar would have made even a lower mark, A cold wind was blowing up the stretch which materially lessened the speed of the horse in the final effort for the wire. Major Delmar stepped the first quarter in 31 seconds fiat. The half was made in 100 S-4, and the three quarters pole was passed in 1880 1-4 Tn che run home Major Del mar perceptibly tiredhand passed the judges stand in 2:01 If
 Dan Patch, the pacing champion, waa sent against his own unpaced mark of 1:59 IA, but failed to equal this record. He made the mile in 200 1-4. Both Delmar and Pattch were accompanied by runners on the side.
