slaughtered all along the line this
year. Though technically Lou Dillon,
who has wind shield record OF
1853 1-2, Is the champion trotter, the
mark OF ,1:58 ga, which the Massa-
chusetts-bred gelding Uhlan put on
the boards Is far and away the best
mile ever trotted. The ive-year-old
stallion, the Harvester. by trotting a
mile in 2:O1, made big cut in the
worlds record for trotting stations.

I'm addition TO this the two-year-oid
Silent Brigade trotted two miles. eacn
in 2:10 3-4. the fastest race ever tro,'
ted by a colt of his age. These are
