2IO MR. C. K. G. BILLINGS 



trial. The next best performance by a trotter to wagon 

 with amateur driver is the 2:02'>4 of Lee Axworthy which 

 mile was trotted at Lexington, Ky., in 1916 with Mr. H. K. 

 Devereux driving. 



In addition to his two-minute miles Mr. Billings holds 

 the race record for trotters to wagon, Lou Dillon having 

 given him a race ride in 2:04*%|^ and as she won both heats 

 of her race in that time, that performance gives Mr. Billings 

 the credit of having driven the fastest two-heat race to wagon, 

 by a trotter. 



Lou Dillon became his property in 1903 and he never 

 sold her. Uhlan he purchased in 1910 and the gelding 

 remains his property. Both were taken to California some 

 years ago to spend the remainder of their days. William 

 was kept but a year and was sold to Mr. George Crouch of 

 Lafayette, Ind., going back into the hands of Billy Marvin, 

 the man who brought him out.
