with a mile in two minutes. the trotting
gelding, Uhlan, defeated Hamburg Belle in
straight heats at the Readville track today
IN the second meeting Of the pair to de-
eide the t%rotting championship OF the
world. AS Uhlan is a locally owned and
bred horse the victory was decidedly popu-
lar, the crowd OF 10000 cheering v%ocifer-
ously at the conclusion Of each Of the
heats and when the victor returned to the
wire for Driver Robert Proctor to weigh in.
Hamburg Belle was favorite before the
start at 8 to g. because Of her success last
week in the initial meeting OF the cracks
at Cleveland. At that meet she earned
the worlds record Of 2:O1h for ~trotters
- a race, two seconds better than the
Nrskious mark, which had stood since the
Cresceus-The Abbott race at Brighton
Beach in 1903.

advantage clear to the three-quarter pole.

MASS. for $500. The same season Uhian
wen q race to a matinee wagon over the
Readville track in 2:l3&, which is today

eli his races excepting the American trot-
ting derby, securing a record Of 2:O7h, the

that age. This season his single defeat
was by Hamburg Belle at Cleveland, he
having previously won in that city, tieing
the gsldlng race record OF The Abbott in
