Chicago, Aug. 17. Ten thousand lovers of the trotter shunted themselves boatscat Washington l'atk today when Nancy Hanks, the gallant little blue grass bred mnre, sped under the wire, covering a mile in 2:07' i. eclipsing her own and every other-record made in the history of the trotting turf. Then Budd Doble was fairly lifted from his sulky by the horsemen that gathered about him, and it was fully hall an hour before the multitude could be coaxed into any kind ol order to witness the closing event of the day. The time set for the great mare's but tle with I'ather Time was ft o'clock, and promptly nt that hour Doble drove through thegatewny ut the head of the stretch, aud jogged down slowly toward the staad, where he was received with rounds of applause. Just behind him cutne Frank Starr, to act as peacemaker, with a thoroughbred hitched to a sulky. As u preliminary, Uudd sent the marc a slow mile, going the wrong way of the track, and then he wheeled her nt the head of the stretch and speeded around the first turn at a 2:10 clip. There was a moment's delay while n helper spunged out the mare's mouth, and then the king ol drivers settled him sell in the sulky unci prepared for the struggle. As lie tuurncd to break, Starr put the runner in motion, and the mare flew down to the wire, going like a piece ol machinery and as steady as clock work. "Are vou rcadv ?" shouted one of the gentlemen in the timers' stand, and Do blc nodded his head, while the point ol Ins wlni) Insli just nicked the marc s back. Round the turn and past the club house she trotted so rapidly that many old-time horsemen declared the clip was too fast and that she could never stay the route at that pace. The quarter pole was reached in seconds, and still Nancy was going as steadily as when he started, and her driver sat as still as it he were carved out ot stone. When he flashed bv the half-mile polein 1:CK! murmurol astonishment rolled through the stand, and then Starr, who had been ding behind with the runner, moved p to Doble's wheel; but further than this her driver was not urging her to any greater etlort. hen the man stationed at the three unrter pole dipped his red banner the atclies clicked at li.lb' t. and then only uld the spectators see that Doble was rging the marc. Down the stretch they thundered, while Starr pulled up level ith the runner, and already the more nthusiastic sent up a cheer. Would she break, or could flesh aud flood stand tich a teirihc strain ? wf s the thought that flashed through every horseman's mind. Still the peerless mare swept on. When the last eighth pole was passed Doble's hands went up, and ns he leaned ver, urging her with voice and rein, he was cxircisiug every device known to nn expert among experts to wheedle the last iota ol speed Irom those Hying, oofs. 1 want all the ladies aud gentlemen present not to applaud until the mare lias finished," shouted Judge Walker, and the applause that was already begun ied away. Doblc lilted .ancv flanks under the wire in -MT i. In doing so he won for her a world record and placed nicy Hanks the undisputed ruler in the trotting kingdom. the scene that followed was wild, ong before the official timers could aug out the numbers hundiedsof horse men who had timed for themselves knew that the record was broken and they manifested their enthusiasm in every onceiyable manner. Millionaires, breed- rs, trainers anil common folksstrtiggled ir a space to shake Doble s hand, and the great driversinilingly accommodated that could get mar enough to do so. "he mare showed little or no fatigue, ml was blown out before she reached her own stable. Doble said later that would have tone faster had there been no bead wind on the hack stretch and had the track been faster. "1 hoi to best ;t with her bclnre the feel season is over," said he. "and 1 pretty confident ol doing it. I he trial was made 111 one ol the new pneumatic sulkies which the majority of he trainers at the present meeting hnve been using. The track was fast, but extra work with more rolling and scrap ing would have made it at least nail a .second faster. N. Y. Sun.

The actor did as suggested. The audience arose in sym pathy and excitement, and the stacc mutineer, rushing forward, hurriedlv said that, owing to the serious illness of the signor, the performance would have to close for that night.
