CHILHOWEES RECORD-BREAKING PERFORMANCE i " - 1 Smashes All Known Records for the Mile and an Eighth Distance : 7 ; . . . - I 1 Hangs Up the Fast Time of 1:48 4-5 in Sensational Race and Regains Favor as For-midable Candidate for the Latonia Championship Stakes LA-TONLV, Ky., Oct. 14. Gallaher Brothers Chilhowee, which failed so decisively In the running of the International Special last Saturday, astounded the big attendance at Latonia Tuesday by a wonderful performance in winning with the greatest ease and running the mile and an eighth distance in 1:48, reducing all known records for the distance. Formerly It had been held by Grey Lag and Gcaler, both having raced the distance in 1:49. . Chilhowee did not appear to race at more than a fast gallop for at least that part of the race through the homestretch. His jockey had him under stout restraint, observing over his shoulder the game but futile effort of Graeme to wear him down. He passed the finish four lengths in advance and continued an additional three-eighths, completing the full mile and a half journey in 2:27. At no time during the journey did Chilhowee indicate that he was tiring; on the contrary, his stride was a bold one and unfaltering. Garner kept him about four lengths befcTe QDiagram, with Graeme about the same distance away during the first three-quarters. Thereafter Graeme steadily displaced Diagram, but Chilhowee maintained the same margin of lead over Graeme and they came through the stretch without material change in their positions, except that Chilhowee was well under restraint and Graeme driving hard. Diagram had fallen completely out of it and Hopeless had no difficulty to land in third place. After the finish Graeme continued to follow Chilhowee and they were still four lengths apart after they had concluded the mile and a half distance. The additional workout was preliminary to their starting in the Latonia Championship Stakes next Saturday. Considering that he held to his task without great effort this afternoon and at the same time displaying the high flight of speed, his poor showing after three-quarters of the mile and a quarter International Special running was decidedly puzzling. It is just possible that Sarazen, staying in the close proximity to him that he did and forcing the pace, caused Chilhowee to become discouraged and give way during the last half mile. He races as if he likes to be out in front and undisturbed. WIJTS BACK ADMIRERS. Chilhowees race today won back to his standard many friends he had lost in the International Special and he will again be strongly in the limelight when he starts next Saturday in the Latonia mile and three-quarters Championship Stakes. Another great attendance was on hand to view the sport this afternoon and they wit-nessed some excellent racing, featured by many close finishes in which the winners and strongest contenders were at top speed, with their jockeys exerting their best efforts. Ideal weather was again the rule and the track in perfect condition. The defeat of Rothermel in the fifth race was the outstanding disappointment that the public experienced during the afternoon. She was held to be best of those starting, but she was eased back soon after the start to avoid interference and she could never get well into contention thereafter, though she finished in third place. The winner turned up in the frequently disappointing Riviera, which scored for the first time since her arrival from Hawthorne. Deeming ran gamely to finish in second place. Bo McMillan was again supported with rare confidence and again he succumbed and finished far back. His defeat was registered in the sixth race, in which a good band of platers met and it resulted in victory for Nulli Secundus, which was greatly favored by racing luck and by having saved much ground for the entire way. Georgie was possibly the best in the race but he suffered considerably when the incompetent apprentices on the other starters permitted their mounts to race wild all over the track. Georgie finished gamely during the stretch run and just missed getting up for second place after having closed an immense gap. MADAM VEJTNIE SURPRISES. Madam Vennie, grouped with others in the field of the third race, furnished an upset when she got up to score from Miss Rose-dale, another outsider, with Queen Bess in third place. Miss Rosedale had led the other eleven starters until the last twenty yards, where the winner caught her with her timely rush. The opener enabled John Hager to score his second successive victory. He won handily after having been prominent from the start Seclusion had to be urged hard to outstay Asaph for the place. Continued on sixteenth pasc CHILHOWEE BREAKS RECORD Continued from first page. The Idle Hour Farm stables Broken Toy had an easy time of it in the maiden race and she moved into the load when called on by Fator, who donned the Bradley silks for the occasion. Sari hard urged for the entire way and racing gamely, finished in second place and Twilight Hour was best of the others. The closing race produced the closest finish of the afternoon, with Wild Life getting up in the last stride to win by a nose from Tippo Sahib. The winner acted badly at the post and wore himself considerably before the start When they were dispatched Wild Life was unprepared but he moved up steadily and disposed of the leader in the last stride. Arabian finished in third place.
