MADE A MILE IN 2:04 FLAT Nancy Hanks Goes Just Three Seoonds Below Her Mark. SHE TRAVELED IT WITHOUT TROUBLE Not m Hitch, Skip or Break in the Work of the Greut Little Mare as She Chased O1d Time Ar: the Track ha Tenne Havre, Ind, Sept. 28,—Nothing that Nancy Hanks does in the way of speed seems to bo surprising, so when she placed the world’s record at 2:04 this afternoon, the Dbig crowd was quite prepared for the feat. The day was the warmest of the week and bright and clear and the track had received careful proparation lastnight for the quoen’s supreme effort. It was nearly 5 o'clock when Bud Doble and the famous mare came out for the trial, and an assemblage of about 10,000 enthusias- tic spectators greeted them with loud ap- plause. After scoring with Nancy several times, Dobls took her elear up 'round the turn to get under full headway. When Starting Judge Frank Walker said “Go™ in responso to a nod from Doble, she was trotting at a rate that carried ber to the eighth in fifteen and one-half seconds, When the quarter was made in thirty-one seconds everybody with a watch felt that somehing wonderful was at haud. Up the back stretch thore was no perceptible change, though tho second guarter was slower, the half belog made fn 1:02%{. Tuat wes record breaking speed for a circular track, out the sensution was to come. Speed Almost 1e; Bellof. Along the straight to the third quarter the pecrless mare came at a clip that mado the carlier part of the mile seem slow, taking only twenty-nino and one-half seconds to cover the distance. Round the turn she came without a falter, moving lLke well regulated clockwork, with Doble helping her, and the pacemaker a length behind. Startor Walker requested everybody to keep still until the mare finished, but be had scarcely finishoa speaking when Lor nose was even with the wire and the watches stopped at 2:04 flat, a figure once deemed uttesly be- yond the power of any horso that trotted or Ppaced. Kvery one kuew that all records were swept away before President Ijams mado the announcement, and as the crowd yelled itself hoarse scores of excited men rushed out on the track 10 congratulate the clever remsman who had placed the queen of the turf oo a still higher pedestal, Mr. Ijams finally got a hearing and in u brief speech said: “Terro Haute claims Nancy Hanks end Bud Doble as well. The feat just ac complished is beyond what has ever before heen done in hariess. Tho kite track is not 10 it He concluded by annonncing the time by quarters. Wnen nhe ended by stating the oficial timo as 2:04, there were loud calls for Doblo, who stood beside him in the judges’ stand. The clever Cnicazo driver bowed ais acknowledgement, but declined 10 say any- thing. Nanoy Hauks _trotted her third quarter at a 1:58 olip, this marvelous flight enabling her to mate tho last half in 1:01%. The mare secmed about as fresh when sho fin- 1shed as ut the start and could probably have increased the rato a little to the first half. Axtell Lald Out Again, Scarcely was this sensation over when George Starr, taking advantage ot the smooth track, sent Monbars to beat his rec- ord of 2:14%{, mace at Columbus last Satur- day. The colt was in great form and lowered the record for 8-year-old stallions, previously held by Axtell, trotting the mile_ in 2:113{. His fractional time was 3387, 1:071¢, 1:308¢. ard the last quarter in 32 seconds. Tis was scarcely noticed, however, nftor the greater event that had precededit.
