I I 2 THE TWO-MINUTE PACERS 



mile in 1:57 at Empire City track. This was done behind 

 a regularly constructed windshield mounted on a sulky and 

 kept in front of the pacer until the stretch was reached. This 

 record was never allowed by the American Trotting Register 

 Association hence the official record of Prince Alert stands 

 at 1:591/2. 



This iron-sided gelding raced for ten years and it is 

 worthy of recording that in his tenth year on the turf he 

 paced in two minutes on two different occasions and did a 

 mile on the half mile track at Allentown, Pa., in 2:03^. 

 Thus he has to his credit five different miles in two minutes 

 and better as well as one in 1:57 which, while rejected as 

 a record as already stated was an indication of his marvelous 

 speed. 



Prince Alert was a bay gelding by Crown Prince — Till 

 a mare of untraced breeding and was bred by G. W. Fort, 

 Knightstown, Ind.
