UHLAN FIRST REAL
7W0-M|NUTE TROTTER
Billings, His Owner, Picked
Him to Achieve Record, But
Kept Secret Well.

Uhlan. the dashing big black geldins
that c. X. G. Billings paid $4,000 fol
| last year. and which,. driven by Charles
Tanner at Cleveland last Friday. earned
the first legitimate record Of two min
utes or better" that has ever been made
by trotting horse without the aid of
| a wind shield-circling the North Randall
track in 1.5sa4-was bred by Arthur H.
Parker of Bedford. Mass, breeder who
has had considerable success with horses.
Bingen. 2.O64. and Blonde. now owned
by William Bradley OF New York, are the
sire and dam Of Uhlan. and he comes OF
standard bred horses, a long line OF which
has shown speed.
Bingen, a brown stallion, eleven years
old in May, 1904. was a part of the j..
Malcolm Forbes string that was sold in
Boston that year. He was at the head
of the stud and brought $50, 900. the high
est price that had been paid for a trot-
ting sire at public or private sale in more
than a decade.
He was the sire, 1t was pointed out. OF
four trotters in the 2.2O list. Of which
Admirable Dewey, 214A. and Totara,
2.171z. were then the fastest. Arthur
Parker bought him, bidding against sew
eral well known breeders.
Malcolm Forbes bought Bingen for
$1,000 after he had won a race at Mystic
Park, September %, 1895. In August,
to Tommy Britton, although Bingen was
the favorite. but he attracted attention
by taking the second heat In the fastest
time of the day. 2.09h.
Early In August. 1909, Bingen's big
black son Uhlan stepped a mile in the
Grand Circuit at Cleveland to mark OF
2.03A in a second heat. and every one
began TO open eyes and study him. Not
since the days of the duel between
Cresceus and The Abbott had the trotting
world been so stirred.
A match between Uhlan and Hamburg
Belle, 2.03A, was arranged, and every
one prophesied that In one of the two
would be found the long looked-for two
Massachusetts, had bought Uhlan and
Robert Proctor drove him August %.
when he raced Hamburg Belle at the
North Randall track and was beaten by
her In 20lk-though as Uhlan had trav-
eled on the outside OF the course all the
way, old horsemen said the young geld
ings time was fully as fast as the
mares.
Mr.. Billings. who witnessed the race,
thought he could see in the fast son OF
Bingen the coming two-minute trotter,
and paid $4,000 for him. Frank Jones
of Memphis did the buying for Mr..
Billings.
This year It was not Mr. Billings inten-
ton to race Uhlan except in matinees,
but 1t was expected that the wonder
horse would be let down for several fast
miles, as Mr.. Billings himself likes a fast
ride as well or better than any other man
in the trotting game, and every one was
expecting him to feel out his big black
trotter during the summer.
Uhlan's performance at Cleveland FRI
day was nevertheless a surprise to the
trotting world and settles for all time q
very old question, VIZ: "Will the two
minute trotter ever Gomez" He has come.
and the black gelding Uhlan is that
trotter.

NEW YORK. August 15.-It probably
was . fortunate incident that Stanley
ketchel was compelled to withdraw from
his match with Bill Lang Of Australia.
Ketchel has not been in good physical
condition for some time. and II is ques-
ton whether he would have been able to
put up one Of his old-time battles. Lang.

for Ketchel and will meet Lang tomorrow

California fighter was ready to put up
the fight OF his life with Sam Langford
In Philadelphia last week and was great
ly disappointed when the Boston slugger
finally refused to go on unless he received
1850 win or lose. Kaufman, trained to
the minute. was only too willing to jump
at a chance to meet Lang, and when he
received an invitation from President Glib
son he accepted In the twinklng of an
eye.

man will fight Langford. Burns or any
body else. and by whipping each one In
succession he finally will be in a splendid
position to demand a fight with Johnson.

as a sure victim, but he does not hold

that Mcintosh will take him to England
without delay.
Persons who may grow hysterical over
this Kaufman-Lang scrap should no. for

under those circumstances the bout is
strictly an exhibition, not q prize fight.
That was how the club of1cials expressed
themselves yesterday.
