THE SUN, BALTIMORE, WEDNESDAY MORNING, AUGUST 26, 1903. LOP DILLON'S BLOOD Family Lines That Produced The Queen Of The Turf. ELSIE'S GRAY HAT A Story BY MARAVENE KENNEDY AWAY AT TOLCHESTER Harness Horses Start Kent And Queen Anno's Meeting. iFsfk if -rK'-r i 1 writer of the New York American, knew It all, he says, and predicted that Lou Dillon would trot as last she did. All honor to Homer! This is what he writes: In January of this year I wrote an article on the American trotter for Outing, and, complying with Mr.

Caspar Whitney's wishes, I predicted in regard to the two-minute trotter, and among other things wrote. "Scientific breeding today is far ahead of the careless methods of former ears, so that we re prone to believe that, with- our knowledge increasing. In coming seasons it will not be long before we see an evening paper with head lines: 'Mile Trotted in Two I also stated that "at this writing there is a mare. Lou Dillon, in training in California, that has trotted a mile in 2.05. This mare has never yet started in a race.

For the two-minute trotter we shall not, 111 my opinion, have long to wait. So let us Hue up between the drawgate and the wire and be patient. "And now which of the great sires of which I have spoken will be the father of the two-minute trotter? Will it be Chinivs, Oakland Baron, Delroar, Bow Belts, or will it be a colt from the country bred on uncertain lines? At any event, that two-minute mile will soon be trotted, and when we read the news, or, if more fortunate, see the hors-? go under the wire, we should go reverently and sow some oats and hay on the grave of old Messenger." Prophecy Conies True QuicUly. This article was written, as stated above, in January of thit year and appeared in July Outing, and before the cover of that magazine is even torn this green country filly, 5 years old. that has never started in a race, trots a mile in two minutes.

Mr. Ketcham, the owner of Cresceus, then holder of the world's record of 2.021-4, wrote me after reading my bold prediction r.nd suggested even inviting iuf to come to bis farm and help the hired men put in the hay. Even, Caspar Whitney thought I was getting along pretty well for a beginner. One week ago today the gallant mare from the smell of the eucalyptus and the California climate, trotted a mile in 2.03, pud when she finished tired and distressed. Uncle John MeGuire, as shrewd a horseman as David Harum, tamed lo me and ald: "They killed her In the first quarter." Lou Dillon on that occasion trotted tho first quarter In 28 the fastest quarter ever trotted But that was nothing for this mare.

She Is 5 years old. by Sidney Dillon out of Lou Moulton. she by Milton Medium by Happy Medium, out of Old Princess, whom Mr. Billings' father owned in 1857. She is small, weighing 004 pounds, standing scant 15.1 hands, and a mare that, while on the Santa Rosa Stock Farm in California, was thought would never be able to go the full mile.

She was thought to be fractious and unsteady, though she has never made a break. But she had, shown a tendency to stop at points on the race track where they don't pay any money. It was this reputation that kept this young mare from bringing than $12,30 of Mr. K. G.

Billings' money a mare that could finish the mile, be unhitched and in her stall before her Old Princess, or Flora Temple had reached the wire. Where Credit Is Doe. To Mr. her owner, and Millard Sanders, her driver, belong great credit. Millard Sanders put her first halter on and brckt her to lead.

The woods no longer attracted her. She turned toward Mrs. Young's listlessly. "You're all worn out," said that lady with concern. "That gray hat takes the color out of your face.

too. Gray's not becoming, Elsie; get a blue one next time." "Or a green one." said Elsie, irritably. "Browti. white, blue had been recommended; why not green, red, purple," she thought desperately. "You are worn out, that's sure," said Mrs.

Young. Elsie took off the despised gray hat and held it lovingly In her slim hands. It comforted her. She was soon chatting away gaily, but her head ached and there was a strange heaviness -weighing her down. She wanted to cry instead of laugh.

"Wait," said her friend as she was leaving. "I got 0 picture yesterday of Frank and Annie and a friend of theirs and her husband." She handed the picture. There, sure enough were Frank and Annie Young, and Elsie clutched wildly at the Mttle card-ooard Dave Brady, with a woman sitting archly on his knee, his eyes gazing at her ftcioringiy. "They had them taken that way just for fun," explained Mrs. Young.

"Annie and Emma were friends years ago. and they came across each other last month at Manila. They've both been married the same liiSth of time three years and there's not a month's difference in the ages of the children. Emma's is a girl, though." Elsie rushed blindly out of the house. Dazed, she made her vay home, the pretty head sadly drooping under the faithful gray hat.

She laid it off and sat down beside It. and gave way to tears tears that pride had held back till she was away from prying eyes. Three years! And she waiting, watching, hoping, loving. Wife and baby, home. love everything to fill his life! And she? An orphan, living alone; no one to care whether she came or went, was glad or sorrowful.

She sobbed on pitifully. All night long she lay awake going over, year by year, the time between. It was almost morning before she could believe that Dave was actually out of her life and and She sat up in bed and laughed and cried all in a breath. It was most wonderful. She climbed out of bed.

found the little gray hat "find, bit by bit, tore it Into shreds. She laughed again, then cried again, and. all flushed and rosy, lay down and slept peacefully till long past sunup. John Stewart sat In his office listening gravely to his patient recount his ills. He gave him a prescription, smiled, asked him about the children, bowed him out, smiled again, and sat down to await the next patient.

They came oftener now: a few years before they had been few and far between. The next one came in slowly a slender, graceful creature with fair, flushed face peering out shyly from under a soft white hat. covered with blue corn flowers, the color of ner eyes. "Jack!" He turned quickly, gave one swift lock and caught her in his arms. "Elsie, my darling!" Tr.

Stewart was certainly not slow-witted. "When how?" he questioned, kissing her all in a breath. She put her arms around his neck and hugged hira tightly. "Ever since I knew you." she whispered. "I've wanted you you you! Oh.

Jack. I can never love you enough to make up for what I've missed." He laughed, puzzled, but blissful. "Then why?" he asked. She answered his kiss first, smiling and dimpled; then a frightened look flashed over the happy face. What oh.

what if Dave had been true, had come back! She the Doctor again frantically. "It was the gray hat." she cried. "It was a hoodoo. I tore it tip last night. I was never so happy as while pulling it to pieces." And that was all the explanation she ever gave him.

but he had the woman he lived and was as happy as is good for mortal to be. As ffr Elsie, she wrote Dave a nice, friendly letter after she was married and sent his baby a present. She was so afraid he might have fleeting moments of remorse, and she felt that would hardly be fair. Which goes to shew a woman's reason-In is rather complex.

"I'll take this gray one," said Elsie, unheeding. In her own room she put the hat on and studied herself Intently in the mirror.

Brown would have been more becoming, she decided. She was too pale for gray now. It had been six years since she had made that promise. It was Just as she bade him good-by. "You look like a pink rose In that gray hat, darling," he had said.

"I shall expect to see your dear face under just such a hat when I come home." So for six years, summer and winter, she had worn a gray hat six years in 'which she had heard from him but twice, and that shortly after he left. But she believed in him, loved, excused him. A-weary sometimes, but never de-e-I airing, she remained steadfast. He had gone to Africa; that was so far away and offered so many opportunities for her tender heart to find excuses. She feared always for his safety, but never for his con-stancj.

It was a pretty face the mirror held, a sweet, womanly face, with a happy girlish smile. She turned away with a little tlgh and went lightly down the steps into the street. It was a holiday and school teaching was serious work with conscien- The Xrrt One Came In Slowly, a Slender, Graceful Creature. tious Elsie Wentworth. She was glad of the rest, the day outdoors, the sunshine and pure air.

"Where are you going. Elsie?" It was a man's voice and a man's eyes that gazed into hers, both telling their love for the slender crecture la the gray hat. A rich glow came to her pale cheeks. So stalwart and determined, she felt afraid of bim. afraid ne would make her love him, make her faithless to poor, absent Dave.

"I'm going to ee Mrs. Young," she fa'-tcred. He laughed. "It's too bad. dear.

Negroes held possession of the American League Park yesterday. Two dusky teams the Cuban Giants, from Philadelphia, and the Baltimore Giants, from. Baltimore-perspired through a double-header on the baking diamond, while a crowd of their brethren, spread over the grandstand like a field of sunflowers, yelled them on and sweated more ian the players did.

It was ha to tell whom they were cheering for, for they made as much noise at the end of the first game, when the score was 10 to 15, in favor of the "Cooban Gi'nts." as one of their member calls his team, as at the end of the second game, when the doctors' drivers and drugstore and lunchroom porters of Baltimore shut out their rivals by a score of 9 to 0. It was a great game. Many colored persons were there to see it, as well as a few white men. The Philadelphians are said to bo born record smashers and. although they work for a living and "work hard," as one said when questioned, tney managed to get off to come over here.

During the first two innings the local pride was at a low ebb, although the yelling was as great as at any period of the game, for the Giants who had come to con-qner had piled up four runs and the Baltl-moreans hadn't scored. The third Inning brought it out. The home team piled up seven runs, and the mass of negroes in the grandstand stood on seats and stamped, bobbed their" heads up and down and yelled: "Give It to 'em, boys; swat 'em In de middle an' doan let 'em get away!" "Fifteen to nuthin', they yelled when the second game began, and when a black body went down in a cloud of dust time after time there was a mighty hee-hawing. negran And Felts Draw.

Table Of The Hecord-Breaken. Lou Dillon, the peerless queen of the trotting turf, who on Monday at Beadville went a mile in two minutes, is a dark chestnut mare, 15.1 hands high, marked with a staj" and snip and her left hind leg white half way to the hock. She is rather dainty than rugged In conformation, but her lines are so graceful and speedlike as to make her appear more delicate than she really Is.

Her weight is 804 pounds. Her coat Is like satin. Her eyes are as large and expressive as those of a gazelle, and her countenance reveals rare intelligence and docility. She Is a natural trotter, if ever there was one, wearing four-ounce Shoes and light quarter boots forward, three-ounce shoes with felt shin boots behind, and going without a check rein. Lou Dillon was foaled in 1808, and was bred at the Santa Rosa Stock Farm, Santa Rosa.

by Ira Pierce and his brother, the late Henry Pierce, of San Francisco, who was one of the Forty-niners and one of the leading business men of California when he died, last January. The Pierce brothers were the owners also of the sensational trotting mare Anzella, 2.O614. that nearly swept the board in the Grand Circuit last season. 'ot Of Fashionable Lineage. While her pedigree is neither very long nor very stout nor very fashionable, Lou Dillon's inherltence is from families that have produced record breakers.

There is not a drop of Electioneer or Wilkes blood in her veins. Sidney Dillon, her sire, is a comparatively young horse, that came Into some prominence two years ago as the sire of Dolly Dillon, 2.07, one of the crack trotters of the Grand Circuit of 1002. This well-known winner 1b as yet his only representative in the 2.20 list. Sidney Dillon was a son of the trottlng-bred pacer Sidney, 2.19. a wonderfully prolific sire of extremely fast but rather soft horses.

Sidney was by the stout-hearted old trotting stallion Santa Claus, 2.17Vi. and was out of Sweetness, 2.21. by Volunteer, the sire of St. Julien, 2.1U4. The dam of Sidney Dillon was a mare called Venus, that produced the pacer Adonis, 2.11.

and the trotters Cupid, 2.18, and Lea, 2.18. and that was probably a daughter of Venture. 2.27V4, tbe first thoroughbred horse to trot in 2.30. Venture was also the sire of the dam of Directum, 2.054. Nancy Hanks Family.

On the other-side of the house Lou Dillon traces straight to the sire of Nancy Hooks, 2.04. Her dam was Lou Milton (dam of Redwood, 2.21. and Ethel Mack, 2.25.1. by Milton Medium. 2.25, a son of Happy Medium, the sire of Nancy Hanks, and this mare Lou Milton was out of Fly, a fast road mare of unknown blood.

The prodigious speed of the chestnut mare has been developed almost wholly in the last 15 months by Millard F. Sanders, the trainer who drove Anzella. 2.0ft14; Dolly Dillon, 2.07, and Janice. 2.08'i, to their records. After having shown a mile at the form in 2.22 as a 3-year-old she was sent to Sanders at the rieasauton tCal.) track In the spriDg of 1902.

He drove her a mile in 2.24 late in April, and early in May she worked in 2.12 for him at Cleveland. This astounding Improvement In speed caused Henry Pierce to cancel her engagements In the Grand Circuit and reserve her for the big stake races of 1903. Sanders accordingly gave her easy work until he reached Baltimore, in September, and here he drove her a mile in 2.08, as timed by a score of well-known turfmen. A month later, at Memphis, she trotted a mile in 2.08'i. moving the last half In l-01li.

and then she went Into winter quarters in California. Mr. Outbids Mr. malh-r. When Henry Pierce died, in January, the promising mare was consigned to the Fasig-Tipton auction sale, held at Cleveland in May.

C. K. G. Billings, her present owner, bought her there for $12,500. K.

E. Smathers was among the contending bidders, but stopped at notwithstanding the fact that she had trotted half a mile In 1.00i on the day before the 6ale. It was this exhibition of speed which caused Mr. BIHlngs to buy her. The low price for which Lou Dillon was struck off can be attributed to a very general belief among horsemen that with ali her speed she is not to be relied on for racing.

Right or wrong, this opinion waa held by many circuit followers who saw her work last season. Otherwise she must have brought $25,000 or more under the hammer. Off the track she is a perfect model of deportment. Tommy Waugh, her caretaker, rides her everywhere with only a halter to guide her and control her, and Sanders' 6-year-old boy often climbs on her back when someone is leading her. Her stable name.

Lovely, speaks plainly of the affection which the stable boys have for her, and it suits the bloodlike, beautiful little mare to a dot. That the tiger is in her she has shown time and again when aroused. Her spirit is so high and her ambition so great when on the track that it takes patience and skill to control her marvelous speed. Scott McCoy, who drove one of the pacemakers yesterday, describes her as being speed crazy. She becomes excited the moment she sets foot on the race track and wants to go as fait as her legs can carry her.

At times she not trot at all. but breaks Into a gallop and goes a mile or more without striking a trot. In his management of Lou Dillon her owner has given new proof of the kind of sportsman he is. Like the late Robert Bonner, whose mantle seems to have fallen on his shoulders, Mr. Billings buys fast horses for the pleasure of driving them and never starts them in races for money prizes.

When he purchased his latest and greatest trotter she was eligible to stakes aggregating $85,000 to be competed for In the Grand Circuit this year. He promptly canceled her engagements and announced that he intended to drive her at the meetings of the ametenr reinsmen In Cleveland and perhaps point her for an attempt to lower the trotting record If she continued to improve until success seemed probable or possible. She has never started in a race. Other Performances. Previous to her performance at Boston, Lou Dillon had started In public only a few times.

Her first appearance was at Cleveland, on June 16, when Mr. Billings drove her a mile to wagon in 2.06, at a meeting of amateur reinsmen heid under the auspices of the Cleveland Driving Club. On June 29 he drove her another mile to wagon in 2.04. Neither performance constituted a record, and the mare remained unmarked and eligible to start in a race for trotters of -the 3.00 class until the Fourth of July. On Independence Day Sanders started her to sulky over the Cleveland track for a money prize, and she made her first technical record ot 2.044.

A few days later she lowered this mark to 2.03V4. and during the Grand Circuit meeting at Cleveland, in July, she again cut the mark to 2.02. She was then shipped to Brighton Beach, and on August 17 she started twice to go a fast mile without attempting to lower her record.

He Pat In the beautiful sunlight during the first winter after her birth and watched her play in the paddock, while her old mother ate green alfalfa. He (Sandersi told the owner of the Santa Rosa farm that the little chestnut filly colt that they bad named Lou Dillon played all day without breaking from the trot. Thej laughed and predicted that she would some time be the two-minute trotter.

The grooms and farmhands had lots of fun with this little filly with the white star and the white hind foot. One negro groom said It was lucky and he argued much with the old man that plowed the fields. Finally, when Millard Sanders put the bitting harness on her, others thought he should have let hov play another six months. But Sanders knew better. He had been quoted in the Santa Rosa papers as having a great Ally out on the farm.

When she aid not know whether her tongue would be more comfortable ever the bridle bit or under It she trotted fast quarters. Patiently he taught her alone and in company. Her mother and father watched their child on the farm track from their respective paddocks. Her child days of play were gone unless she was a failure. Then she could play, even plow; but if Sanders was anywhere near right in his prophecy f-he should never again have her shoes off until she held a world's record.

Leaves The Old Farm. Spring came and little Lou Dillon walked to the depot with Auzella and the other old campaigners to be shipped East, where she might watch the Grand Circuit trotters. She behaved like a little lady and came home that fall with great things to tell her half-brothers and sisters of the sights she had seen in the great East. She had seen from her box stall Auzella, the farm's standby, trot a bll in 2.07, and she this baby had gone so fast at Lexington early one morning that the sulky wheels made a noise that scared her. Again, all winter long.

Sanders trained htr mile after mile on the Santa Rosa track. Her owner died suddenly and the horses were ordered sold. Strangers from far in the East went five days' ride on a Pullman to see this filly trot as she was advertised In the sale catalogue. Millionaires stayed all night ii Santa Rosa that they could cee her trot a half mile the next day. The news was wired all over the world that Lou Dillon, the green filly, had trotted a one-half mile in a fraction over a minute, the last quarter in 29 seconds.

More millioraires marked her number on the catalogues that had been sent them of the coming sale. But a story from back of the btrn got out. discharged groom told that she stopped at the drawgate; that she quit where there were no judges. Thus the money she would bring home would not. be enough to bed her one night.

Auctioneer Tried Hard. So when Mr. Bain, the astute auctioneer, called attention to Lou Dillon and praised her to the skies, even called her the two-minute trotter, the best he could do was to sell her to Mr. C. K.

G. Billings for $12,500, and Mr. Billings took the bit in his own tteth and bought her personally, after his keen adviser. Dr. Tanner, had advised him lo come away, that they would be spending their time better eating pie.

Mr. Billings had heard where she stopped, but he knew before she did stop if she did he would get a ride that would take the kink out of that part of his hair between his cap and ear, and would console himself that he had heard a $12,500 breeze blow there at least. Millard Sanders went to the stall and bade her a sad good-by. He called her "his bnby," though her nickname was "Lovely." He implored Dr. Tanner to be patient with her not to break her heart.

Mr. Billings wanted to ride. Lou Dillon had never been hitched to a speed wagon and she couldn't ride with Mr. Billings without she did. So Doc Tanner ordered her hitched.

She wore no blinds, no check rein, noboots. After the Doctor had warmed her he handed the lines to Mr. Billings, who. when he picked up the lines, said: "Well, we will see where she stops and have the grandstand moved, if lecessary." She squared away, and, with a stride open and wide, made tha speed wagon hum. Mr.

Billings liked the hum till he looked at the watch which he held In his left hand. Then he grew nervous. She was beating the world'4 record for mares where he had only come out for a lltle drive. His hands shook with excitement as she finished strong in 2.06. He asked: "Where did she ftop?" "She didn't," replied Tanner.

Some days later she pulled the same wagon again in 2.04, and then Mr. Billings tsked Millard Sanders to come and take her and drive her for the world's record. -Who Said She'd Stopt Sanders drove her in 2.02 some days ago and Cresceus begao to get uneasy. The man that started thestory "that she would stop' was hard to find. And today this 5-year-old mare, still eligible so far as a race record is concerned to start in the four-minute class trot, trotted a mile In two minutes, the greatest feat, all things considered, ever accomplished by horseflesh, trotting the last quarter, the place Where they all quit some, in 29 seconds the fastest of the four.

Everything Lou Dillon has ever done nearly has been a world's record. So a week ago, I talked with that sirewd gentleman, horseman and driver, H. K. Dever-caux, concerning her, he said: The is such a remarkable mare that anything she may do will not surprise me." Tn comparison to Cresceus, she is like the man who resembled Daniel Webster, as they both wore glasses they arc both sor rel. Cresceus is big and powerful, with a big Macon Tnrf Exchange Closed.
