WORLD RECORD
 AT LEXINGTON
Leading Lady Lowers the Time of tbs Best Nile bya . Three Year
 0ld Faly to 2o7.

Lexington, Ky, Oct 16.--A most important worlds record was low cred yesterday forenoon during the3 time record performances. Leading Lady. a year old bay Ally by the New York city-owned stallion Bingen, dam Miss Pratt. by Heir-at-Law, trotted mile in start against time in 2:07 and lowered the worlds best mile by 3 year old Ally from 12:08E. The former champion was Fantasy, who had held this record since 1893.
 The new record Is only quarter of second slower than the fastest mile ever trotted by colt, gelding or lilly, namely, that of General Watts, 2:06%. Early during the season Leading Lady showed up finely in her races. She won the American Horse Breeders futurity at Readvillerand later gained mark of 2:11h. It was in the effort to better her record yesterday that she trotted her wonderful mile and set the record of her age. and sex at a point where it will be long time before it will be equaled or reduced The new worlds champion is owned by A. B. Coxe of Paoli, Pa, and was driven yesterday by Bob Proctor, who trained her at Readville.
 The talent again went astray yes terday, as two of its choices went wrong in manner to give it abso- lutely no chance of shifting. In the 3 year old Kentucky stake the Ari- zona colt Justo was put up as the good thing, selling at $50, the field hardly $25, but Justo was not in racing form and got badly beaten by Binvolo, from the Allen farm at Pitts field, Mass.
 Weather and track conditions were the best of the entire meeting, and 1t was plain that with proper pace maker Binvolo was ready for much faster time than he showed. f Although the Pittsburg mare Lady Jones, driven by Tommy Murphy, won the 2:12 trot after losing heat, yet it did no good to the talent, as she was virtually barred from the pools.
 The Philadelphia mare Zaza was selected by the wiseacres as color bearer, for reasons. which Is often hard to account for, as this mare, driven by an old man, is as likely to fast as she is to jump like a jack rabbit.
 l The more conservative element | ninnnd fhni, fa;t f1 ,o r.o Dawson, while the best play was made by flelders. Geers won the Opening heat rather closely pressed, but. Lady Jones walked over in the 1 three succeeding heats after losing the first by break and finishing last. There, was good contest in every heat of this raceg but the barred favorite came from the out side in every heat and won after Istepping long miles.
 | The pacing stallion Minor Heir Hailed to lower the worlds unpaced pacing record of 1:59A. He stepped the mile in 2:00A after going the first half in 59A. He rated his quarters as follows: :30h, :29k, :30A and :30%.
