BROKEN AND BEATEN.
Records Fractured and Shattered on
the Buffalo Track.
ROBERT J KNOCKS OFF A CHIP
His Time Only Equsled BY Hal Pointers
Mile With Direct.
A GREAT AND GLORIOUS DAY OF SPORT

ESPECIAL rELEeRAM TO THE pIsPATcH.1
BUFFALO. Aug. h-The grand circuit
meeting at this point was saved by to-day's
sport from comparative failure. Up to
II 80 this morning but one regular event
was decided in five days programme. A
fresh breeze dried out the track to-day. 1t
was at its best, and when the nineteenth
heat was decided at 6:45 this evening, more
than IL, 900 people knew they had seen the
best harness racing ever witnessed on this
or any other track.
From the start before noon to the finish
this evening. it was record breaking and
record making. Every trotter or PAGER that
won heats except Vitello had to chip some
thing off his mark. Every heat was below
2:20 and every finish was fought out stub
bornly. The verdicts in most instances
going by heads or half lengths. The fastest
and heaviest betting on the circuit was on
the 2:23 trot. Instant was backed at 5000
against the field at evens as fast as the sheet
writers could scribble the cards. 1t is not
often that money is lost so quickly on trot
as the Instant crowd lost theirs to-day.
Robert j Makes Fast Mile.
1t Just took two minutes to burn up their
money from the time the mare broke
near the quarter pole to the drop
of the red flag in front of her as
Virginia Evans dashed under the
wire. The performance of Flying Jib and
Robert ] in the 2:27 pace gives Buffalo a
record or two that other tracks would like
to have. It was the fastest class race ever
paced and the 2:O9A of Robert in the
third heat knocks the chips of the 4-year-
old record and is equaled only by Hal
Pointers mile in the match with Direct.
It was really duel between the Eastern
and Western side-wheeler for the first
corking heat in 2:11. Allen Lowe fought
pluckily to have his share Of the purse, but
a break in the fourth heat settled his
chance
Speed Increased Mile After Mile.
The excitement was at fever heat when
mile after mile was put in at increasing
speed, and when Robert J beat Jib by a
nose, 2:09A, the Buffalo people yelled with
delight. Neither won by more than half a
length until the deciding heat, when Robert
J made misstep near the quarter, and be-
fore Geers could catch him pursuit was
useless
Nightingale would have won under his
class IN stIalSnt neats, Dut sne picked up
nail while scoring for the first. This made
her break going away and Addie L Clipped
several seconds off her record. Virginia
Evans won her fast heat to bicycle sulkey
and the race winner, Belle Wara, put in her
fast miles to a similar machine.
There is very little chance for continu-
ance tomorrow, as rain was falling when
the last heat was decided to-day. All the
stakes are disposed of. so it is probable the
meeting will be called off

Testing n Ladder Truck,

The officials of the Fire Department
tested a new ladder truck yesterday after

aerial truck, and has a65-toot extension lad

now in use. The ladder can be raised very
rapidly by two men, and lowered by one
man. 1t also has Pompur ladders, for
scaling walls from one window to another,

BRIEFS FROM CAMBRIDGE.
Tobacco Planters Satisfied With Their
Returns

Tobacco Planters Satisfied With Their
Returns.
BAINBRIDGE, GA, April 19.-T'he indica-
tions of the business prosperity of this town,
which was demonstrated by the tobacco
boom during the past six months, is being
realized. The farmers Of Decatur county
who raised tobacco have all sold it to ad-
vantage in the town of Bainbridge. Messrs.
Cohn of New York have bought almost the
entire crop of the county, and prepared it
for shipment at their warehouse
here. Messrs Mast and Leopold,
the managers Of the business here,
state that the season is nearing the close.
They will complete packing within a week.
Indications show that there will be five
times more tobacco planted than was last
season. Nearly every farmer in this section
will plant some tobacco, and a large number
will go extensively into the culture of the
weed. The recent frosts did not affect the
tobacco plants. and in few days the far
mers will begin to set out the plants in the
fields.
Several new dwellings are being erected
here. The city school house is completed
and will be q great accommodation and oon-
venience TO the city.
A SENSATIONAL MARRIAGE.
Anotoer SENSATIONAL marriage was the
particularly interesting feature in the city
of Bainbridge to-day. A couple from Alas
bama arrived at the Sharon house at
o'clock, and Hgnifed their intantion Of get
ting married inttsnser. Col. Dismukes, the
proprietor OF the Sharon, in bis usual way.
went TO hustling to remove every obstacle
in their path. He secured the license and
the preacher, and IN less than thirty
minutes Napoleon Jones and Laura
Williamson were made man and wife,
ready to take the train to their home in
Alabama, where they will pass the re.
mainder of their lives on a farm.
The parties came from Crenshaw county,
Alabama, about twenty-five miles west
from Troy. They took the train at Q o'clock
to-day for Brundige, Ala. a station on the
Alabama Midland railroad, where they will
be met by friends tonight.
The groom is q man of about so years OF
age The bride is quite pretty girl, who
appears TO be about 10 years of age. The
reason for running away as stated by Jones
was that the girls parents objected to thC
marriage Of their daughter. This makes
about fifteen runaway couples that have
been married at the Sharon house during
the past six months.
j. I. Medlin, who has held the position OF
travelling auditor of the Savannah, Floridt
and Western Railway Company for somt
time past. has been appointed agent here
He has made quite a number OF improve
ments about the depot.
