With Wind Against Him He Trots Mile in 2.05 at Empire City Track, but New Owner Decides to Send Him After the Record. (Special to The Evening World.) EMPIRE CITY RACE TRACK, Sept. 24. Just before Major Delmar's trial against time he was sold for $40,000 to B. E. Smathers, This is the highest price ever paid for a gelding, a.though greater amounts have been realized for stallions. John J. Scannell when Fire Commissioner under the Van Wyck admin- fetration paid $26,000 for the gelding The Abbot at auction and this price stood as the record until to-day. Major Delmar was sold by Alta McDonald, who bred him on a farm near Troy. Major Delmar is five years old, and it is_ likely that he will cut a big slice off the trotting record for geldings before his days of usefulness are ended. Mr. Smathers already owns Lord Derby and other fine harness perform- ers in addition to the great running horse McChesney. His, purchase of Major Delmar presages great spins on the Speedway before long, because | Mr. Smathers will undoubtedly drive his new purchase against his old-time rival, C. G. K. Billings, with the champfon trotting mare, Lou Dillon, “I bought Major Delmar for $40,000 because I think he is one of the greatest trotters in the world,” said E. E. Smathers after the purchase. “Do = think he is the greatest trotter in the world? Well, I hardly can say that. I'll tell you what I do think. I think he can trot in better than two minutes, and, what is more, I believe Lou Dillon can do the same ching.” “Which is the faster of the two, Major Delmar or Lou Dillon?” “[ don't know. All I know {is that my horse has trotted within one- quarter of a second of Lou Dillon's record, and everything was in her favor at that. “I bought the horse simply because I like to own a good horse, whether runner, trotted or pacer, anil I know he is such. I shall start him in all his engagements, use him for exhibition purposes and see if he cannot carry off the gold cup at Meuphis.”” The Major was sent after the two-minute record this afternoon, but failed to make it, going the distance in 2.05. His owner and driver was not satisfied with the trial and decided to send hm out again for it fifteen min- MER NEARLY DROWNS MYER J.
