KING COUCHMAN
BEATS HIS MARK
Waynetta Forces 2:10 Pace
Into Fourth Heat When
She Gusts Rastus and the
Assessor; Big Purse Is
Divided.

For the third time this wonderful
week, a record went to smash under
the flying feet of Charlie De Rydcr's
great mare, May Mack, when she
stepped the final and winning heat of
yesterdays 2:07 trot and established
new worlds trotting record for a mare.
In equaling her record Monday, Miss
Mack lowered Sonoma Girls trotting
record. made number of years ago.
and yesterday. in this same 2:07 trot,
she again clipped the seconds off the
record and lowered her own mark to
2:O411
The withdrawal of Star Winter from
the two-seven left field in which
there was scarcely diminished compe-
tition, for both Albaloma and NJ L. ].
took it into their heads to give May
race. King Clansman, McMahon's
famous Grand Circuit winner again
failed to show, getting only fourth
money.
But these great nationally known
goers were not the only ones who went
fast for another record was equaled.
1t was the Arizona record for the three
year r-old trot, Lady LEGO doing the mile
in 2:25A in the first heat, only to be
distanced for running in the second.
This left Gypsy Boy, whose second was
a close one, to seize the next two heats
and the race, with Miss Emily con-
sistent second.
The track was gazed upon with con-
cid clya hX oil hn
ular horsemen, and c. B. Wood, the
speed superintendent had to do a lot of
soothing But after records began to
he broken, and the chap in the little
tower to shove awfully small numbers
out of the time box, c. B. had a chance
to grin derisively back at the visitors.
Auto racing did not ruin the course, as
the horse fellows predicted-still,
Track Superintendent Raby had to
keep the harrow going all the time.
De Ryder had three close heats in
the 2:07 trot, and that is why he
showed the time so low The previous
worlds record for three heats in race
was held by Amber Belle, and has
stood for four years.
De Ryder's Trophy
Al. +. Campbell, the past president of
the state fair, and after j. C. Adams
left it, its head for five years, had set
up large and gloriously shiny loving
mug, to be presented to the winner of
the 2:O7 trot c. B. Wood called Mr..
De Ryder to the judges stand and pre-
sented the cup for Mr.. Campbell, who
was just as modest about it as De Ry-
hut in Oatt i'm W. u
from an appearance in public The j.
c. Adams cup went to Dick Mcmahon
for winning the two-four pace with
King Couchman.
2:04 Pace
King Couchman was bad at the
start and gave Starter Stone some
hoarseness getting the field away. The
Mcmahon entry followed nobody but
his own good self, and cleaned up the
first heat in great style His time was
the lowest of the day, 2:02%, which
marks him half a second under his
former record.
In the second heat, Mcmahon had the
pole, and it was a ragged start, but
such as to permit every horse to join
the bunch at the quarter pole. Silva
laid his Teddy Bear up close to Couch
man and forced the big fellow to step
his liveliest to keep the lead. Every
body thought to see Silva make it a
race down the stretch, but the Bear
didn't last that long. Strathmore wore
him down, and every horse but Margot
Hal passed him in the last two hundred
yards. Minnie Chimes shot out of the
press to take a second place, but she
too gave place to the Knight.
Minnie's burst of speed was not al
gone by the time they rounded the
turn in the third heat. She seized the
pole from McMahon's horse and came
