Hew Six-in-hand Record.

Lawson N. Fuller has made a new record with his six-in-hand team at Fleetwood Driving park. The time for the mile was 2:66%, which was 1% seconds less than the previous record held by the team. The team was attached to a light two wheeled wagon. With the exception of Fleetwing’s slight break at the start, the team troted evenly. The leaders were Dexter and Cricket, with Florrie and Higny in the center, and Lamar and Fleetwing as the wheel horses. The first eighth was made in .22%, quarter in .48%, half in 1:27%, the three-quarters in 2:13 and the mile in 2:56%.
