TOO FAST FOR HIS RIVAL

Readville. Mass, Aug. 2o.-The worlds record for three-year-old trot- ting stallions was reduced to 2:os IA by General Watts at the Grand Cir- cult meeting to-day, both heats of the American Horse Breeders Futurity go- ing to the son of Axworthy in that re- markable time. The victory of the colt was a surprise to the talent, as twice this season the Ally, Bell Bird, had taken his measure-at Cleveland and at Buffalo. To-day, however, he was clearly master of the situation after having passed the quarter pole in the 1 initial heat, though at the finish of the second heat Bowerman tapped the colt couple of times to stall off Blue Hill's rush through the home stretch, when the latter got to General Watts neck Bell Bird went to pacing in the first heat soon after the word and then to a bad break. Mcdonald stepped her very fast from the half home, being a good third In the last heat Mc- Donald laid in a good position back of Watts to the last three furlongs, when he pulled wide, but found that to beat Blue Hill was impossible. let alone General Watts.
 The winner is the property of c. c. Watts, Charleston, W. Va, and was driven by the veteran Lexington, Ky, trainer, Mike Bowernan. At the con- clusion of the race Bowern1an was re- peatedly cheered, the demonstration being the greatest ever given a winner at Readville.
 Angus Pointer, owned by Senator George F. Whitney, Enfield, N. H, paced the fastest mile of the year in the free-for-all by going the second heat in 2:02 S-4. He outclassed his field from start to finish, Sunderin having lead enough each heat at the distance to take the gelding back to a jog.
 Audubon Boy was expected to do the worlds race record of 200 1-2 for pac- CTS, but broke beyond the quarter, fn- ishing fifth. He was then withdrawn
 Codero, a Boston horse, captured the 2.19 trot easily, but M. sayles of At tleboro, driver of Baron May was sus- pended ten days by the judges for not trying to win the last heat.
