FASTEST MILE IN HARNESS,
FLYING JIB GAVE 4 WONDERFUL
 EIRlBITION OF SPEED.

He Made Mile at the Chiliioothe Track In the Remarkable Time of One Minute Fifty-Eight and ne-Eighth Seconds Went Like . Cyclone Down the Home- streioh-The First Half Was Made in One Second Less Than . Minute.
 Chillicothe, Oct. 4.-Ten thousand people covered with overcoats and wraps to-day witnessed Flying Jib go the fastest mile ever made in harness.
 To-day was cold and a stiff wind was blowing from the north, making fast time apparently impossible. Fly ing Jib, however. was equal to the occa- sion. The great pacer was advertised to go against the record of Robert J., when in reality he went hitched to a running mate to beat the record of Westmont-2:01N-made at this style of racing in Chicago in 1884.
 At 4:30 the gelding was brought on the track and was given warming up heat by his owner Monroe Salisbury. His driver, Andy McDowell, then took the lines and before the audience real ized what was going on he came up the little loop and nodded for the word. Swift as the wind that was blowing in his face the great horse seemed to go, pacing without a skip in an easy manner, while his running mate seemed to lag behind. The time was caught at the half mile, which was 59 flat. Down the home stretch the Jib came like a cyclone. When the wire was reached the audience yelled itself hoarse. Starter Hooper then addressed the mul- titude as follows:
 This audience has witnessed some thing no other audience has ever seen. Flying Jib has paced a mile in 1:5SA, making the first half in 59 and the last half in 59A seconds"
 At o'clock Directly was brought on the track to beat his record of 2:07A, but made the mile in 2:09A only.

The COlOred Schools.

To THE NEWS: | would like to
ask the reason why the superin.
tendent of the free schools does not
provide for the white and colored
schools alike. The colored people
pay taxes in proportion to what we
own in the city. School trustees
have been elected as manner OF
reform but that manage ment has
not yet bettered the system IN the
colored schools. All white schools
in the city have janitorS, but at the
colored schools the children are
forced to do the work of janltor
| appeal to the superintendent and
trustees to consider this and con
cede to the colored schools the same
convenience as the whltes---a janltor.
When this is done we will have
nothing to complain of.
