SETS A WORLDS
PACING RECORD
Betters Own Mark with
New Time of l:56A-
Other Keen Contests.

/, champion pacing stallion. estsb-
lished a new worlds record of 1855.
for a mile paced without a windshield
at the New York State Fair here this
afternoon. In So doing he lowered
his own record Of 1853.
Another worlds record was lowered
land, drove Peter Nc in 2:06h. q new
amateur mark for one-mile track. In
addition to the breaking OF two worlds
records, the worlds champion four
year-od trotter, Peter Nolo. 2:02,
driven by Thomas Murphy, ecuslled his
own record, negotiating the distance
in 2:02.
Drectum got away TO a splendid
start in his phenomenal mile, paced
by a running horse. The big chestnut
PAGER fairly leaped over the ground,
reaching the half-mile mark in 6Sis
seconds. When the mile was completed
thousands of spectators gave the horse
and driver an ovation.
Captain Shaw's successful effort TO
break the amateur trot:ing record was
also the cause Of demonstration.
Captain Shaw, the oldest driver In
America, sent Peter Nc away under
perfect motion. and not the slightest
semblance Of break marred this per
formance.
Peter Volo's woodworking feat
was less spectacular than that Of Di'
rectum | and Peter Nc. Reaching the
halfway mark in l:04ia, the big brown
trotter was forced 10 20 az two-min-
ute clip for the remainder of the dis
lance TO equal the mark.
While the exhibitions attracted un-
usual interest, the series of five pro-
fessional races were keenly contested,
with the exception Of the $4,000 En-
pire State Stake, which Peter Scott,
with Murphy driving, won in straight
heats. Worthy Prince was @ strong
contender in the first and third heats,
but could not follow the fast pace set
by the winner in the stretch. Bron-
son finished second in the second heat
after a thrilling drive up the stretch
which brought the crowd to its feet.
"Pop" Geers, the dean Of American
drivers, also occupied the limelight by
taking the Chamber of Commerce
$4,000 stakes, after losing the rrst
heat. Russell Boy, the winner, nm
ished sixth in the FIRST heat. and the
result came as great surprise.
