F|Tz HERBERT MAKES
NEWWORLD'SREC0
Races Two Miles in 3.25 as
Over PimIico Track With
los Pounds Up.

BALTIMORE, November 9.-Fitz Her.
bert, the champion race horse of the
year, rounded out his season of bril-
liant victories by smashing the world >
mark of 3.261a for two miles, when he
won the Bowie stakes at the Pimlico
track yesterday. He ran the distance
in 3.25 4-5. which not only clipped three
fifths of second from the former mark.
but cut the track record fifteen seconds.
II Jockey Schilling. who had the mount
on Fftz Herbert, had asked the great
racer to show his best speed, the world 8
record would have been smashed at least
three seconds, horsemen declared. There
was no attempt at record breaking. for
Schilling held Fitz Herbert under a stout
pull all the way, and he romped twice
around the mile track. When one con-
siders that the Pimlico track is slow
and not the kind over which records are
usually made, Fltz Herbert's perform
ance was one of merit
The old mark at 3. 261a has been on the
record books since 1893. On February II
OF that year Judge Denny. over the Oak
land track in California, hung up a time
mark that has stood the test Of all efforts
Denny carried 105 pounds. Fitz Herbert
Yesterday afternoon carried a similar
weight
1t was a curious coincidence that Sam
Hildreth. the owner of Fftz Herbert,
owned a half interest in Judge Denny,
and trained that horse when the record
was made eleven years ago. Fftz Her.
bert has been owned and trained by
i1ldreth since last fall.
