RECORD BROKEN
Alix Trotted the Fastest Mile
ON Record-It Was Beauti-
fully Done.
Fifteen Thousand People Saw the Great
Mare Cut Quarter of u second
from the Previous Mark.

GALEsBURG, ILL.,, Sept. 2O.-Fifteen
thousand people yelled themselves
hoarse this afternoon when the great
trotting queen Alix beat the worlds re-
cord by coming under the wire in 2:O391
Ii was a noble performance from the
start to the finish. iustIfying Williams
boast as to the fastness OF the track and
Jones assertion about the ability Of
Alix to beat the worlds record.
The day was an ideal one and the
track was IN good condition. 1t was 8
o'clock when Alix passed in front of the
grand stand for little preliminary
work. Mcdowell was her driver.
! 1t was $40 o'clock when Mcdowell
! finished Alix up. When all was 10 readi
| ness Williams announced: "Alix will
now 90 against the worlds record. 2:O4.' ;,
The crowd became silent and for the in
stant there was great suppressed ex-
citement. The start was made in
splendid style. Alix came as regularly
and steadily as clockwork. Alix was
given the pole with a runner just to her
right and trihe behind. When she ap-
preached the wire for the start she
seemed to be going a little slow, but soon
increased her pace. She was working
like machine. and yet 81 easily aud
gracefully that or would hardly imag-
Inc she was going at such a tremendous
clir. When the quarter was reached
there was a general exclamation. 300,
she will beat 1T From that to the half
she seemed tofiy, making it ir one :Ol q.
The third quarter she increased her
pace trifile, going in 1928.
When she started up the home stretch
there was the greatest excitement Some
started to yell but we're suppressed.
Alix was moving down without appar-
ent effort. She seemed to fairly fiy TO
get away from the morse that came
thundenng behind.
As she neared the wire many men
glanced at their watches and said: "She
will not make it," The last few rods
she again seemed 10 Increase her mar
velous speed and as she darted under
the wire shout went up from thous-
ands: She's done it. She's done it,"
The cheering was prolonged and il was
some time before Williams could quiet
the crowd so as to make himself heard.
He then announced:
You have Witnessed the fastest heat
ever trotted by any trotter on the globe,
just trotted by Alix. The first quarter
was madeSin 500, half in 102a; the
three quarters in l:32a,, aud the mile in
2O3a."
The crowd again cheered and thous-
ands rushed into the track as Mcdowell
came driving Alix back Williams in
troduced Jones. the owner of Alix, and
the cheering again arose.
The performance Of Alix is the talk OF
all horsemen tonight. One Of the judges

The Two Hundredth was about to

the hunting campaign were entered for

Finch and Seymour now, as on other
occasions, took a foremost place. Each
of them owned horses rather above the
average in quality, and each had one
entered for the regimental cup. As !
said before, both of them were good per-

Cure for Round Shoulders.

A physician in Mothers Nursery
Guide has recommended the following
movements for the cure of all except
very severe cases" OF round shoulders,
when braces are sometimes a necessity:
81 Raise arms before you shoulder
high: extend arms sidewise: throw head
back; straighten head: move arms for
ward; lower arms; repeat ten times.
"2. Stand erect: raise arms before you;
rise on tiptoes, then throw arms as far
backward as possible sink on heels and
drop arms to side: repeat ten times.
"S. Raise arms with elbow bent Shout
der high, bringing palms together in
front of face: then, with elbows still
bent swing both arms vigorously back
ward as far as possible even with the
shoulders, palms looking forward. This
should be repeated several times, but,
as the position is somewhat fatiguing,
rest or change of exercise may be made
between the movements"

plentiful provision for their entertain

the day of the meeting came it was all
that could be wished. There was
bright sun and soft wind. and there
had been just sufficient sprinklng of
rain over night to lay the dust and

TWENTY HURT BY A FALL.
Crowded Platform Gave Way ut

AKRON, o., Sept. 2O.-Twenty young
men were more or less injured last
night by the falling of large wooden
platform between the Vagel Block, South
Main street. and building directly in
the rear.
The announcement that the Excelsior
Athletic Club would give a free enter
tainment in its hall, un the third story
of the rear building. attracted quite Il
crowd. Those who arrived before the
doors were opened were obliged to stand
on a wooden platform which connected
the two structures.
This platform was forty feet from
the ground. and the strain upon 1t proved
too great, and 1t fell with a crash that
could be heard blocks away, carrying
one hundred people with 1t. Many were
buried under the heavy timber. A few
were unconscious when taken out, but
no one was killed.
