NANCY HANKS, 2.O4.
A Few Trotting Record Made on Regu-
iation Track. The Fastest Mile
in Harness.

Few Trotting Record Made on IL Regu-
Iation Track. The Fastest Mile
in Harness.
The worlds record for tho light har-
ness horse, either trotting or pacing, was
lowered Wednesday when Nancy Hanks
trotted the mile in 2.04. The ten thous-
and persons who saw it sat breathless
for a moment after the lit lie mare passed
under the wire, and even Budd Doble,
always modest of speech, declared, when
carried to the judges stand on the
shoulders Of the crowd and called upon
for a speech, that he was "hoarse and
Nancy Hanks went SO fast it took my
breath away"
1t was about half past clock when
starting. Judge Walker announced
that Nancy Hanks would go to beat her
record of 207 made over the regulation
track at St. Paul.
The daughter of Happy Medium had
been worked two miles in 2 SO and 2.25,
respectively, earlier in the afternoon.
The runner. Abe Lincoln, stood opposite
the flag while Nancy was taken we'll up
the stretch for the start. Coming like a
whrlwind down the stretch Abe was at
her wheel, aud Doble nodded for the
word.
The clip was a terrific one. Sac was
at the eighth in 159 seconds and at the
first quarter in 81 seconds. The second,
and "up hilr' quarter, was done in 312
seconds, the half being reached in 103a.
The excited crowd began to cheer, but
at word of adm onitiou from the judge
lapsed into silence. This was only
broken 10y murmured "Oas," when the
third quarter was done in 29s seconds.
Even the judges were appalled, at the
wonderful burst of speed, and thought
the mare was running away. So fast
did she come that no one could tell her
gait. On she flew and into the stretch,
never faltering, Doble, with his steady
hand and clucking gentle "Whoas' to

the great flight home.
Even her light hooi- beats sounded
loud to the silent crowd. AS Doble
gathered her fer the final effort he
touched her gently with the whip, gave
two of those masterful lifts of his, and
the worlds record, either pace or trot,
was lowered II seconds, and the record
for regulation track seconds.
The excitement over the great mile
did not really begin until evening, when
the crowds gathered about the hotels.
Nearly every noted driver in the country
is bore, and all are unanimous in declar-
ing that it was the most wonderful mile
ever done.
Mr.. Doble received hundreds of tele
grams of congratulation from all over
the country. He wired Mr.. Bonner,
"Nancy Hanks, 2.04 over regulation
track" This is gentle hint that the
owner of Maud S. and Sunol can present
him the $1,000 offered for the first horse
to tros mile IN 2.05 over a regulation
track.

1t is in order to begin expressing our

ready several papers give the Tyler bal
roll, started few weeks since by the
Lynchburg Virginian. The O'Ferrall
vanguard has been heard from. The
Southwest claims that it is her right to
namo the candidate. If this be so, we
would like to see man named who
could command the admiration OF the
whole people, and whose ability to gov
ern is the equal Of any statesman in
Virginia.
We believe the Southwest has such a
man, and that man is Judge John III.

State can say that he was ever known
to push himself in conspicuous places
for public honors? Egotsm has nc
abiding place in his being. He is ouI

a DISEASE AND REMEDY.

So Roanoke can be burglarized with
ease and her property holders threat
ened with incendiary fires? Under
lying all such violations of law
is the absolute inefflciency of the
police system to furnish proper
protection to property. and to detect
crime and criminals. This inefticiency
comes from having an inefficient board
of police commissioners.
Since the commissioners have not the
good taste to resign, Council ought to
give them gentle reminder by incon-
tinently firing them out. The day has
gone by when words should be minced.

SERMON TO YOUNG nIBN

by Rev. DIR. Hatcher ut the First baptist
Church.
1t was powerful, affecting sermon
preached by DR.. Hatcher last night at
the First, Baptist Church, sermon
especially suitable to young mon. The
text was, "What Shall Do TO Inherit
Eternal Life?"
This question was asked. said DR..
Hatcher, by young man of prominence
and great morality. man who would
in modern phraseology be called an
anna Die man. But do not like this
modern acceptation of this grand oil
word. The young man that is amiable
i this town to-day, I venture, is not he
who would scOrn an invitation to enter
a bar room or gambling house, but the
one that is hail fellow we'll met with
everyone.
"You may be moral, young man. but
this, says Christ, does not suffice. 1t is
the trouble with the young men of to
day, as it was with the one referred to
in the text-they depend too much upon
a good character. You do your duty to
man, but you leave God out. Like this
young man, you lack one thing. You
must be willing to give up your worldly
goods, love God with all your heart and
your fellowman as yourself. This en-
bodies the whole doctrine of salvation"
At the close of the service there
were number Of professions OF faith
and as many more who were seekers
DR.. Hatcher will to-day at IL q. M.
deliver eulogy on the life and work

A SHARP REPUBLICAN, GAME.

Messrs. Reed and Burrows are play
ing sharp game on the Democratic
House Of Congress. They are accom-
plishing the objects that their many
amendments to the proposed House
rules are intended to Illustrate.
They are making show of standing
by their position in the last Congress
with the order of things reversed, and
at the same time, by needlessly
prolonging the discussion, impeding the
progress of business in the House.
Congress has been in session nearly
two months. and the House has accom-
plished practically nothing, and tie
indications now are that by the time the
House gets in shape to rush business,
it will be time for the members to be
looking after their political fences a.
home.
