DUGAN RIDES GOOD RACE.
Cro1cd Cheers Duel Bet7ceen The
iSouire and Arasee.

Harry Payne Whftney's Stamina made new
track record OF 200 fiat for mile and three-six-
teenths at Gravesend yesterday. The old mark
was 2:01 made by Patrican way back in 1885. and
has stood all these years because few races have
been run at the distance Stamina ran a good
race. but her victory was due largely to T. Dusan
alertness in saving couple of lengths on tne
home turn when Shilling Moquette, interested
himself in carrying Pins and Needles wide, which
at that point appeared TO threaten most danger.
The move costly. for. while the son or ben
Holiday fought resolutely through the stretch
when Strengthened out Stamina beat him half
length Shilling blamed by some for making
too much use of Moquette in the early part Of the
race and this may have had bearing also in the
success Of Stamina
