race record for three-year-old trotters. 



More record breaking was looked for in the Ken- 

 tucky Futurity. The first heat went to The Real 

 Lady in 2:051/2 with Bertha in second place. On the 

 next trip Serrill slipped into a pocket on the trip 

 around the upper turn. When he started to pull out, 

 his filly made a break and was distanced. There was 

 another engagement at Atlanta. Murphy declined it 

 as The Real Lady was rather frail on account of sick-

 it from Harvest Gale in 2:031/4, a reduction of a 

 quarter of a second in the world's race record for 

 three-year-olds. 



Serrill was seen in 1917 in the two-year-old events 

 behind Nella Dillon. She won at Syracuse in 2:081/2 

 from Echo Direct. She also defeated Peter June in 

 the two-year-old division of the Kentucky Futurity 

 in2:06iA. 



The following year Nella Dillon atoned for her 

 stable companion's defeat in the three-year-old divi- 

 sion of the Kentucky Futurity by winning it in 

 2:05l^ from Petrex, a mare that in 1925 produced 

 Spencer 1:59%. During the trip in 1918, Miss Ber- 

 tha Dillon added another jewel to her crown by de- 

 feating St. Frisco and Mabel Trask at Readville in 

 2:021/2 ,after making Lu Princeton trot in 2:01% 

 at Philadelphia. 



Three members of the Dillon Axworthy family 

 accompanied this splendid pair in 1918 on the trip 

 from Philadelphia to Lexington, where the Czarevna 

 gelding The Cosasck won in 2:09%. During the
