BUHHIe NTNNItEVI's Wreht FtNCWfUs
LEXINGTON, Ky, Aug. 30.-When the
recently reinstated W. II. Brassfield
drove Bonnie McGregor on TO the track
here yesterday few of the 5000 persons
present expected that the horse would
beat his mark of Lie, let alone wipe away
the best living stations record. This he
did, however, and, with the exception of
Maxey Cobb's '2.13t, his performance
stands az the best ever made by trot-
ting stallion. Bonnie McGregor's time
was 2. l34 and had the pace in the first
half, which was trotted In 2 IL clip,
been trihe slower, he would undoubtedly
have made the mile in 10 or better. The
killing rate, however, ut the start caused
him to tire badly in the last quarter.

Spreading baicfui Influence widr.
They east m.rtsoinc shade and gloom
Acruea ilfo'a rough and troubled tide.
And rrach unto the silent tomb.
A word. look of rympathy.
A pcrny rcneroutiy bestowed.
A simple oct ~ courtesy,
A kindly influence shed abroad.
And from tho soul lilt many loai--
These angel deS',ia gtoud and sublime
Like ripplcs on tho rcatlo,~ rca.
Sweep o'er the fi,it1l strram OF time.
and reach Into eternity.
