NEW YORK, oct. ga-Trotting records
have gone by the board during the last
season and after the last day at Lexing-
ton only a few OF the old marks stood
uncanceled Il has been somewhat DIFF
ferent with the PAGERS, for except in some
heat and age marks by former holders
there was not so much doing among the
sidewheelers as in 1909. one reason may
have been the combining OF many speed
masters at pacing in the same stable or
stables, with exhibitions on tracks Of the
pumpkin fair circuits as a main object
instead of legitimate racing.
That the records for 4 and S-year-old
trotters are now the same. at 2:O42s. is a
wonderful develoment Of the season and
the more remarkable in that the tie is be-
tween a mare, Joan, and a colt Colorado
E. Yet the epoch making record was the
upsetting Of the theory that the 300 trotter
without the aid Of a wind shield was an
impossibility. Uhlan, the black geding by
Bingen, 2:O69t, owned by c. X. @. Billings
Of New York, accomplished the feat at
Cleveland by his mile in 15S%. Although
crowned with laurels for his wonderful per
Torrance Uhlan lost one OF his marks in
the progress OF the years racing.
Harvester Gets There.
This was the record for 5-yesr-old trot-
ters OF 2:02h made by Uhlan last year at
( Columbus. The horse to rob the Relding
OF his honor was The Harvester, perhaps
the greatest to ever poke his head through
bride and a stallion still above his speed
limit. Columbus was again the scene Of
the achievement and The Harvester trotted
/ in POI. This is the worlds record for
trotting stations and lowered the SEEM

stances merely an incident. At Lexington

raid on another record credited to Ores

have been cut to 4:12, for as in all his
races The Harvester seemed to be merely
loafing along. Beginning the season with
a record Of 2:03It, the brown son Of Walnut
Hall, 2;0S5t. has gone faster and faster
whether as asked the question in stormy
weather as at Readville or In sunshine in
Kentucky and with no apparent effort.
The Harvester trotted IN the same non
chalant manner in lowering the record
for two miles.
Unaccompanied by a pacemaker The Har-
vester went the first mile in 2:OSh and
came home in the second mile, in which a
running horse wss on his heels in 2:Osk.
He was flicking his ears at the finish and
champilg on the bit as though eager to
race with any horse for another mile OF so.

Receives Some Hard Hits.
The S-year-old record OF 2.O6N held BY
General Watts had several hard hits during
the season. Colorado f., the raking bag
colt by The Bondsman., began a triumphant
career by beating Native Bell, the cham
