UHLAN'S RAPID RISE
 IN TRoTTlNG WORLD.
Eligible to 300 Class in 1908, Now Sets Sulky Record at 15S Ia, Without a Wind Shield.

CnIan wonderful performances are the talk of the day among votaries of harness racing everywhere By trot- ting mile in POI to wagon with his amateur owner driving, and then set ting the Sulky record at 1.5S 3-4 with out wind shield, all in the same week the black son of Bingen, 2.06 IA has stamped himself far and away the greatest trotter that has yet appeared Neither CreSceuS, POP 1-4 nor Ham burg Belle, 2.01 1-4, in their best days would have the ghost of a chance with the new champion in his present form according to the opinion of horsemen who attended the Cleveland meeting
 MT Billings has arranged to start Chlan against the record a the com ing meeting in Boston, and it is hoped that he will give New York an oppor- tunity to see the champion of cham plons in an exhibition against time over the fast Empire track, where Ma joi' Delmar trotted in 1.59 3-4, with the aid of wind shield. John Loren, long in charge of the old Fleetwood track now has the care of the hilltop course and he has put it in fine condition for the coming meeting.
 Uhlans rise to fame has been rapid. Less than two years ago he started in his first race in the 2.30 class at Bos- ton, and a little more than a month later gained record of POT 1-4 at Columbus. He trotted four races in . I. In his first race last season. at the Cleveland grand circuit meeting. his record dropped to 2.03 3-4. and two weeks later he was finishing heads apart with Hamburg Belle in POI IA. after having trotted a long mile on the outside of the mare from start to fin ish, with a little the worse of the start. When the two matchless trotters met again fortnight aftarward in Boston Uhlan defeated Hamburg Belle de- 1cJ alx- ell r,ry1- I 2.03 1-2. He could outscore her, out firish her and outfoot her at every spot and place and MT. Billings, after see ing this performance. paid ss5,000 for the horse. Starting to heat his record al Columbus shortly after this race, last appearance in public until MT. Billings drove him a mile in POI to wagon at Cleveland last week.
 Charles Sanders, Boston merchant, who bought the horse from his breed CT, A. H. Parker. of Bedford, Mass, de- veloped his speed in amateur races over the Rockville track. He was trained and driven in his public races last year and in 1908 by Robert Proc tor. a Boston trainer. When MT. Bill lings bought Uhlan he passed into the hands Of Charles Tanner, a pupil of John Splan, who has long had charge of Mr. Billings matinee and speedway trotters and who is known as one of the best conditioners and caretakers in the country.
 Uhlan's sire. Bingen, 2.06 1-4. is a son of May King, 2.20. by Electioneer, Blonde, the dam of Uhlan, was by Sir Walter Jr.. 2.1S 1-4, a grandson of Aberdeen, formerly owned by Major $. T. Dickinson of this city, who by singular coincidence also owned the dam of Hamburg Belle. The grand dam of Uhlan was a Kentucky saddle mare by Black Eagle, a Morgan bred horse.
 The best time ever made by any other trotting horse without the aid of wind shield was the 2.01 of Lou Dillon at Memphis on Nov. II. 1904. Her best record with the aid of wind shield was 1.5S 1-2. Performances made in this way are no longer recog- nized by the National Trotting associa- ton.
