DAN PATCH'S NEW RECORD.
Made Behind a Windshield So Are
Not Regular.


In the campaign just ended Dan
Patch started against time on numer-
Gus occasions, and though he was
faster than ever when aided by a
runner in front to break the natural
resistance of the atmosphere he was
not once put to the test of showing
what he could do under normal con-
ditions. Reports from the recent
meeting at Lexington, KY, were at
first to the contrary, but 1t now APP
pears that there Dan Patch had the
anne artificial aid as at all the other
meetings. This failure to make any
tempt to lower the record under
ormal conditions, is certainly signih-
mt of the probable character of the
erformance which took place at
temphis last year, a month after the
Id of the campaign, when the horse
as given a record of 1.5S.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
ew rules of the National Trotting
+. s%sociation expressly forbid the use
{ a runner in front and further pro
ide that performances SO made shall
OF be recognized as records, the
wner of the wind shield champion
as set up the claim that since his
orse has several times this season
erformed on tracks governed by the
lies of the American Trotting Asso-
iation the wind shield performances
lust go into the records.
No changes in the rules of the AM
rican Trotting Association were
lade last winter, no meeting of that
rganization having been held. Its
ir~ectors, however, held a meeting in
pril, after the National rules had
cen amended, and pledged the en-
)rcement of the amended rules on
IL American tracks. Whether the
irectors had authority to do this is
t least doubtful, and 1t is certain
lat the agreement has not been car
led out, since enforcement of Sec
ION 10 of Rule 43 of the National
ode would have prevented Dan
'atch from starting in the wake of q
lind shield.
If the validity of records depended
My on compliance with American
lles, it is not unlikely the recent
performances of Dan Patch might re-

The rate ut which special messages
