UHLAN TROTS MILE
TO WAGON IN POI
c. *. q. Billings Driving Great Geld
ing, Equals Worlds Mark
BY Lou Dillon.

Cleveland, Aug 9.-What will proba-
bly, be considered the greatest mile
ever trotted was reeled off late yester-
day afternoon over the North Randall
track by Uhlan in 2:01 to wagon in the
open, driven by his owner, C. K. G.
Billings. He started to beat his worlds
record for geldings to wagon made over
this track last month when Mr.. Bill
lings drove him in 2:O234.
The effort was delayed until late
hour owing to the wind, which blew
so strongly from the south that it was
until a short time before the mile was
trotted that it was decided to essay
record breaking. Had it been a wind
less day and a shade warmer it is the
unanimous opinion of the horsemen
present that Uhlan would have finish
ed in two minutes.
The mile performance of the son of
Bingen and Blonde not only lowered
the mark aimed at, but equalled the
worlds trotting record to sulky, made
without a runner in front, at Memphis,
Tenn, in 1904 by Lou Dillon.
