AGAINST TIME


This was or course considered the event of the day
and the result proved that was not only the event of
the day but the greatest trottng event of the year
Though Lulu failed to beat Goldsmith Maids best
;ime-2:1 :14-she succeeded in trotting three heats
which aggregate the fastest record, and beats
her magnificent performance here last August She
was accompanied by piebad running horse attached
TO a suky, which driven just far enough behind
her to excite her to her best efforts On the first heat
she did not to get down TO her best work until
she reached the backstretch, where the runner had
closed pretty well up. After that she trotted spen-
didlv. the homestrech the pace very fast but
she only succeeded in getting in in 2:l61s


On the second heat Green made more desperate at
tempt TO win the coveted 81 900 and the glory Of beat
ing 24 and Lulus trottng for the first threequarters
OF a mile such to inspire the belief that she
would accomplish the wonderful feat II is generally
believed that she would have done so but for the high
wind which blowing from the southeast, and
which blew square in her face quite hard when she
rounding the upper turn Charley Green put her to
her best but it useless he just second
late going under the 2:l44. This practically
ended tho struggle, though her third attempt she
made the splendid time of2:16 II is the almost uni
versai belief among horsemen that Lulu will yet
ceed in trottng below 214, and her performance yes
terday fully justides it The following is the


SUMMARY.
