DAN PATCH, 1.59
Takes World’s Championship
Away from Star Pointer.
Quarters Made in Stiff Wind in 291-4,
58 3-4,1 29 1-4,1.59.
Quarter Second Easily Clipped from
the World’s Record.
New York, Aug. 19.—Dan Patch broke
the world’s record for pacers at Brigh
ton Beach, today, by pacing a mile in
1.59. It was a magnificent perform
ance and seemed an impossibility, the
wind and track considered. There was
a stiff breeze blowing which struck the
horses fairly in the face. The track
was a little slow, but the effect of the
wind was discounted by sending a
runner in front, while the second run
ner galloped alongside. In view of the
adverse condition the announcement
was made that he would go against
the track record of 2.00%, but that he
would also try to beat the champion
record of 1.59*4 held since 1S98 by Star
Pointer.
When the unbeaten pacer, for Pan
Patch never lost a race, appeared on
the track he was loudly cheered and
after a few preliminary warm-ups lie
got the word. With a. swift, fr ictionless
stride he shot from the wire and
seemed to be determined to push his
nose into the flying sulky in front of
him which the thoroughbred in the
Bhafts was steadily pulling ahead.
On swept the famous pacer to flic
nuarter in 29*4 seconds and when the
half-mfle pole was flashed past in 5S%
n great volume of cheers went up
from the vast crowd. Then came the
difficult top turn and the slowest quar
ter of the mile ensued, the three-quar
ters being .lone in 1.28*4. But down the
Stretch as swift and steady as a loco
motive he came and as ho shot under
the wire ttie watches stopped at 1...9.
The new champion was not at all
distressed and looked as if he would be
able before the season is over tot beat
his own record. The betting was even
money either for or against his bat
ing the record.
The four regular events on the card
were run off without incident. Sum

Baseball Notes.
For assaulting Umpire Ryan at Nashua,
Tuesday. Mgr. Ashenhach has been indefi
nitely suspended by President Murnanc •>!
the New England League, and. ordered
debarred from the grounds of every dub
1 <Mtil further notice. “Connie'* Murphy
has been reprimanded for unbecoming
conduct at Fall River. Tuesday.
The coroner at Philadelphia, Wednes
day. concluded his investigation into the
accident at the Philadelphia National
baseball ground. Aug. 8, which resulted
in the death of 12 persons and injury
to nearly duo ethcres. The verdict ab
solves trom blame the present owners of
the Philadelphia National baseball club.
The blame is placed on the former owner
of the club, who sold the franchise about
a year ago.
President Ban Johnsbn, Tuesday, at.
Chicago, announced that he hail dropped
Umpire Ilassctt from the league staff.
The reason given is that the official lias
been injured too easily during the season,
it is claimed that lie has luen out of tin
game a great deal because of little laps.’’
President Johnson announced that the
meeting to decide upon the terms of a
new national agreement will be held at
Buffalo, next Tuesday.
It was explained, Tuesday, at Chicago,
by baseball fans that the principal reason
Comiskey is so anxious to secure Hugh
Duffy as marager of the Whip Sox is
because Duffy can bring into camp two
minor leagueis for whom all the lug teams
have been bidding. These are Cockmari,
third baseman, and McPherson, pitcher in
the Milwaukee team. Huggins, a second
baseman in the St. Paul team, is also
much desired. The Philadelphia Nation
al's manager is said to have offer, d Hug
gins a fabulous sum. Duffy, it is believed,
can secure readily this promising star.

FASTEST IN STATE.
(Continued from page 1.)
Baby Mack, a bad break on tbe first
turn petting her bark. The finish of
the mile was for blood, three coining
ilown under the whip. Norh It., a
stronger to many people on the track,
took tile heat, with I.ady St. (Toix, one
of tile favorites, finishing second. The
heat was something of a surprise, as
the light was looked for between Lady
St. Croix and Toney S., with Geiger
having a good chance to beat them out
with good luck. So when Norh It., a
comparative stranger, took the heat,
it added a good deal of spice to the pro
ceedings and made the people look for
hot work. The heat was a good one
and was turned in 2.19%, thus fixing
the track record at a pretty low figure
in the first heat of the first race.
In the 3-minute class there were also
six starters. A handsome fight was
predicted between Young Bayard and
Stateof Maine by those who knew them.
Hoth did fine work at Pittsfield in their
respective classes, so fun was looked
for when they came together. Both
the favorites, however, had trouble
with their feet, State of Maine falling
well back to tile rear. Miss Sterling
landed the heat in the remarkable time
for a 3-minute class of 2.18%. This was
going some all right, and the crowd
was well pleased. The fighting was as
good as the time and it set a pretty
high standard for the track.
In the second heat of the 2.19, the
field was well bunched all through the
first half, hut strung out in the sec
ond. It was a hot heat all through
with a great finish. Norh R. was too
much for the hunch and finished in
2.17% and the track record was broken
almost as soon as made. This sample
of racing was all the crowd could ask
for and every one was glad to he in the
stand.
The second heat of the 3-minute was
a hot fight between the three leaders.
Young Bayard was out for blood in
this one and went nicely all through
and landed a winner, although the fin
ish was made under the whip and was
rod hot. This was a little slower than
the first, but fast enough all right for
a 3-minute class.
Norh It. captured the third heat of
the 2.19, making it three straight after
a hard fight in every heat.
'I'he third heat of the 3-minute was
as pretty as any one would care to see.
State of Maine had been acting badly
through the race and was drawn for
this heat. The first three made a hand
some fight, hut Young Bayard showed
himself the best of the bunch for the
day once more. He also got the fourth
and last, going a pretty mile. 'I'he sum

EX ■'GOV. D. B. HILL
Sneaks to 30,000 Picnickers at Olcott I
1 Beach, N. Y.
Okott Bench, N. Y., Auk 19.—Former
Gov. Pavill B. Hill delivered the prln- 1
( ipal address at the annual picnic of
tiic Niagara County Pioneers Associa
tion picnic, today, which was attended
by 30,090 people.
Mr. Hill i» opening discussed "Mob
Law Versus Due Process of Law.” He
said: "Mob violence is not rendered
less objectionable even if it be true tt3
frequently asserted, that unless it
shall interpose its strong arm, the
■unity may escape punishment through
a lax administration of the criminal
law or indifference to its enforcement
on the part of the people themselves.
The very excuse offered is a reflection
on the community itself, where the
crime has been committed, and the rem
edy lies not in the people themseives
overriding the law, but in the people
upholding and enforcing the law, and
in an appeal to their patriotism, their
good sense, their innate love of justice
and respect for order, qualities which
arc seldom, if ever, invoked in vain.
WV cannot permit this government to
become a mobocraey, which acts upon
impulse, feels no restraint and recog
nizes no appeal from its hasty pre
judgment.”
Taking up another subject Mr. Hill
paid: The tendency of the times is
toward indulgence in that peculiar
species of sensational performance
which may be characterized in gen
eral terms as ‘spectacularism’ if 1 may
be permitted to coin that word.
"Spectacularists usually affect superior
ity over other, people, in the matter of
patriotism they desire to be regarded as
the only true patriots; they assume to
possess all the virtues, while other people
in their estimation possess all the vices.
"Tile hope of the country lies in the
great mass of cool, deliberate and con
servative citizi ns who pursue their voca
tions and perform their duties unostenta
tiously and entertain sincere convictions
of their life's work. Their ways are ways
of pleasantness and their paths are peace,
ami they believe that righteousness more
than the triumphs of war exalt a na
tion-” ... .. .
.Mr. Hill discussed "Fictitious Versus
Kett 1 Prosperity." saying: "There is a
chorus of assertion constantly reiterated
that the country at the present time is
enjoying a period ol much prosperity.
Vet there are grave reasons for doubting
the entire correctness of the statement.
It is conceded that many public warns
are ill process of construction and many
important enterprises are in process of
development, hut the fact must he Imrm
in mind that most of these schemes are
being floated upon borrowed capital—
that the future is being hugely mort
gaged—and that profits to hereafter ac
crue and dividends to lie hereafter declar
ed are already being anticipated and
there is no adherence to the good old
fashioned and safe doctrine of ‘inlying as
you go.'
"When the prices of the necessaries of
life are unreasonably enhanced so that
it practically costs a man all that lie
earns to live comfortably, there is no op
portunity afforded for the accumulation
of a fair competence. Normal conditions
are better for the people as a whole, rut It
er than those nourishing limes which are
soen followed by periods ol business re
verses.
"t'ommereiai centers seem to lie looking
to Congress for some sort of financial re
lief. the exact nature of which is not
stated twice alike.
"The question is presented whether this
proposed measure is in the interest of Un
people or otherwise. We are informed that
its details are not yet wholly perfected,
lint it is announced that its principal
feature is in substance and effect an au
thorization of the loaning by the govern
ment to national hanks of tile surplus in
the treasury of the United States upon
’approved* securities.
"Tin- financial situation must indeed be
desperate when sneli expedients as loan
ing tile people's money to corporations is
suggested lather than relieving the people
from Ihe taxation which has produced
the accumulation of the surplus and
which accumulation has largely caused
the present congestion in the money mar
ket.”
PREACHERS AID BONDS
Said to Have Been Found in Glace Bay,
C. B., Hotel.
Halifax,' N. S., Aug. 10.- Michael Nolan,
proprietor of tlit* I loti I Nolan of Glace
Kay, O. 15.. said, (today, that he hah in
his possession the bonds stolen by Wil
lard S. Allen from the Preachers' Aid So
eietv of the Methodist conference of New
Holland. If* has communicated with
the police, but refuses to show the bonds
before they are placed m the hands of
the proper authorities, or to discuss the
matter other than to tell briefly how the
papers came into his possession. Allen
is supposed l*; have taken with him bonds
valued at $.'•(««» and the* holelman says
that he has so n tin- published accounts
of the defalcation, and that the bonds in
his possession tally with the numbers as
published of the missing; securities.
Nolan said, today, that he found the
bonds in a valise which was left in his
hotel, several days ago. Throe men called
it the hotel ynd asked if they might leave
a grip in his charge for a day or two.
They impressed him with the fact that
ih<* contents were valuable and asked that
the best of cart* be taken of tin* grip.
Nolan waited two or three days for the
return of the men and. they not appear
ing. he decided to find out how valuable
was the properly left in Ilfs care.
I'pon opening the grip, he says, lu* found
the bonds which he later positively identi
lied as those belonging to the Preachers'
Aid Society. II* has wired the facts to
the Halifax police.
