BREAK II RECORDS ON
THE GRAND CIRCUIT
Worlds Figures Lowered, Though the
Season Is Only Half over-Thir-
teen Made by Trotters and
Four by PAGERS

NEW 1ORhs sept. Io.-lub vi eAilu
circuit season is a little more than half
over and two of the most important
meetings of the year are yet to come
the two weeks at Columbus and the
grand finale at Lexington. So far this
year seventeen worlds records nave
been broken, thirteen by trotters and
four by PAGERS, a splendid average
when it is considered that the class ~
horses racing down the big line TINS
year is poorer than usual.
In the matter OF brilliant perform
anees by racing trotters and PAGERS tho
season of 1909 will rank above that OF
many years in light harness history
The performances of Hamburg Belle,
2:O1k, at Randall, and Uhlan, 2;O31s,
at ReadVille, alone made more changes
in championship records than were re-
corded all of last season, which was
one of the greatest years In the MS
tory of the sport Most of last sea
sons records were made late in the
year.
When the new championship record
table is printed at the end of the rae
ing season the following changes VIII
already have taken place, some OF
which are of long standing and made
by noted horses:

The total changes in the trotting
division of the championship table last
year were exactly the same as re-
corded above, yet five of them were
made against time, either at Lexington
or Glepville, Allen Winters two rec
ords, as the fastest 5-year-old stallion
and the fastest green performer, being
made at the latter place. Every one
of the new records made So far are
race records, which still further ex-
plains the phenomenal speed qualities
of the seasons great trotters
At least two more trotting records
are in the probable list, namely the
worlds fastest 4-year-old colt mark Of
Directum, 2:05A, which the Harvester
is expected to lower, as he has already
shown a mile in 2:04a4 in a workout,
and Lou Dillon's unpaced mark of 2:01,
which Hamburg Belle will not only
wipe off but set the record at the 200
clip for the first time in turf history
If she shows her best speed.
She is fully capable of the feat, and
