2 WORLD RECORDS
FOR FILLIES SET.
BY THE REAL LADY.
Murphy Drives Daughter
of Moko to Victory in
Rich Futurity.

Lexington, Ky, Oct. 1.-Two worlds
records were made by The Real Lady in
winning the two-year-old division of
the Kentucky Futurity. the principal
event Of the opening day of the forty
fourth annual meeting of the Kentucky
Trotting Horse Breeders Association,
here to-day.
The Murphy entry trotted the first
heat in 2:07 q, lowering the former
mark of 2:074 for two-year-old tllies,
held jointly by Native Belle and Volga,
and then lowered that mark in the sec
ond heat, trotting it in 2:O7, ald by
so doing established a new two-heat
record for -year-old FLIES.
Mary Coburn was second in each heat,
while third place went to Bertha Nc
CURE, when Worthy Volo and Harvest
Gale, third and fourth, respectively, in
the first heat, were distanced in the Sec
ond heat. The Real Lady was bred at
Walnut Hall Farm here and is the third
FLY by Moko to win the two-year
futurity.
The first heat developed some re-
markable racing, Harvest Gale, the
fourth horse inside the flag, trotting
in 2:09ie.
The mark set by the Real Lady gives
Thomas Murphy both the -yearold
filly and colt record, he having driven
Peter Volo when this colt made the
record of 2:041a.
The Walnut Hall Cup, 2:12 trot, was
hardly more than a workout for Mabel
Trask, who won the classic in straight
heats. Azora Axworthy, that set the
pace in all three heats, finished second
in each. Third money went to George
Summers.

Well, wife. I've found the promised
land,
hove In here today.
Slid from an iceberg. thru the snow.
Rerplunk. into middle Of May
I've always hesitased some
A handin out my hand
To any Of those blamed crack shots
OF Lee and Jaeksoa's band.
Thought they wux slow an lazy like,
An offlsh, an sam proud,
Fact In In 90 they wuz
A darn pestl''rous crowd
liut. pshaw, the welcome that got
Wa 40 spoh,an 'yoas that
II knocked my oldtime prejudice
into a small cooked hat
The lands jes like a picture book
Held up before pour eyes.
You'd think the trainman set you Of
Right smack In Paradise.
There's great big palms a settla round,
They must come seand'lous low,
An flowers an orange trees All things
That makes serumptioas show
The homes are no, big palsees,
Like castles on the Rhine,
Hut. by Heck. they've get comfort writ
All over every line,
! saw biz fields OF garden sass
All green. row after row.
And couldn't think that back at home
Right now you're shovelln' SNOW
And when the stars peepad out last
Night.
And the soothin' south wind blew,
All that II lacked Of the Garden Of Eden
Was that dldut aave you,
Now. wife. I'll tell you what I've done
jes' made up my mind,
That this lands good enough for Us,
The purtiest spot we'll hnd.
I bought a lot this afternoon
THE others ali bought. too.l
An give my orders for house
Jes' right Tor me and you.
so pack the things an come on down,
Fer goodness sake. be spry.
I'm shawea out nos an getttn' young.
Up there I'd freeze and die,
You know our race will soon be run,
We've faced the storms together,
The balance Of our trip we'll have
Fair skIea and summer weather.
