1 9 o DENNING ALLEN 



Daniel Lambert, the Hambletonian stallion Ambassador, by George 

 Wilkes, several American trotters and a mustang, in all eight. 



Lord Clinton several times in 1893 equalled his record; 

 and in the great race for the Columbian Exposition stake at Chicago, 

 Sept. 1 4th, 1 5th and i6th, 1893, won one heat, took a part of the 

 purse, and was timed separately in the first heat in 2 :o8. When it 

 is remembered that he has never had the advantage of being in the 

 most skilled hands, that in this case certainly ought to have been 

 equal to winning the race, it will readily be perceived that he is one 

 of the best trotters that has yet been produced. 



Of this race " Clark's Horse Review" says: " No such field ever 

 before started in America. The slowest by the records was Alvin, 

 2:11^; then the figures began to drop, Pixley and Ryland T. each 

 being a half second faster, Nightingale and Greenleaf coming next 

 with 2 : io^4 each, then Lord Clinton, 2:10^, Little Albert and 

 Walter E., 2 : 10 each, Alix, 2 :og^, and Hulda, 2 :o8^, making up 

 a lot of ten with track records averaging 2:101-3. * * 



"The scoring was protracted, and not until the tenth trial did 

 Starter Walker get them well enough lined across the track to give 

 the word, Little Albert then being back and off his stride. Green- 

 leaf almost immediately broke and Lord Clinton sailed off safely at 

 the pole. Hickok immediately shot Hulda out of the bunch and 

 took her close to Clinton on the outside, Alvin lying next at the rail 

 and Alix hard upon Hulda's heels. No sooner were they straight- 

 ened into the back stretch than Hickok began to team the favorite, 

 and she stepped up alongside of Clinton and they went together to 

 the half at a heart-breaking pace, the timers marking i :O3^. The 

 second quarter had been trotted in 31 seconds, and there was a buzz 

 of 'They'll break the race record.' ***** 



It was a tremendous finish, and as the two mares flew under the 

 wire none but the judges could separate them. When Alix's number 

 went up there was a prolonged roar, which swelled into a deafening 

 one as the timers hung out 2 :o/^. The little mare, winning by a 

 short head, had broken the race record, while Pixley's time could 

 not be separated from hers, and Lord Clinton, who trotted a magni- 

 ficent mile, was timed in flat 2 :o8, finishing but half an open length 

 behind ".
