MARVELLOUS RACING.
A Day of Record Breaking at
Terre Haute.
ROBERT ]. GOES THE MILE IN2O11-2

Scarcely Less Surprising Were the Great
Performances of Nancy Hanks, AIix,
Gentry, Patohen and Others-A Perfect
Day and Track.
TERRE HAUTE, Ind, Sept. l5.-World's
records went glimmering over the Terre
Haute track yesterday, which today holds
all but two-the fastest three heats paced
! and the fastest 2-year-old pacing race
records There is hung up the fastest
mile ever gone by horse in harness,
Robert j., 2.0l%; the miles of Nancy
Hanks and AliX, each in 2O4; the worlds
record for 4-year-old trotters, made by
Fantasy in 2.0G; the fastest six heat race
ever gone by 3-year-old, Expressive's
great race three weeks ago; the fastest
2year-old trotting race record, Oakland
Baron's mile in 2.l6; Whirligig's 3-year-
old pacing record of p 10; the stallion pac-
ing record of 2O3'4 by john r. Gentry,
and the stallion record of 204 by Joe
Patchen; the marvellous mile by 2-year-old
PAGER, done by Carbonate yesterday in
2.O9 and his previous record Of 2.10 tied by
Directly.
Geers was up behind Robert j., and at
the second trial the word was given. The
clip was so fast that the pacemaker fell
behind, the first quarter being done in
8lA seconds. Up the hill he went at even
a faster gait, and was at the half in 1907
Down the third quarter the unbeaten geld
ing came like whirlwind, 29% seconds
/ marking his time for that quarter, and
he was at the three-quarters pole at 1 3O14
| Geers, with rein and voice, gently reeted
| the gelding, who came, true and strong,
I never for moment wavering under the
| terrific trial, and a moment later Geers
! landed Robert j. under the wire in 20l%
There were cheers for horse for driver
and for the owner, Mr.. Hamlin, and Geers
was lifted from the sulky and carried up
| the stretch on the shoulders of admiring
| friends.
Scarcely less marvellous was the great
/ performance of the 2-year-old PAGER Car
| Donate. Half an hour before his only ri
val, Directly, had gone to lower the mark
made by Carbonate on Wednesday. But
| the fast son of Direct was unequal TO the
| task and could do no better than tie it.
| Then came Carbonate the son of Super
| ior. His tender mouth caused him to fall
ter when Curry took the reins to reef him.
1t was but for a moment and again he
was away and landed the heat 2:09 fiat,
| lowering the worlds record for 2-year-
olds
| The marvellous mile of John r. Gentry
was made in the opening heat of the free
| for all pace, carried over from Wednes-
day, when he did the mile in 2.0394
There was great disappointment over
| the Alix performance. With so perfect a
day and track it was thought the mare
could make new worlds record for trot-
ters. But she had tied Nancy Hanks
mark on Wednesday, and it was too much
to make second effort the same week
| Besides she seemed nervous. She did not
| get away strong, and done the mile in

BUSINESS HAS MET NO SETBACK

"i tHS Eehtures OF Improvement ke-
ported Week Ago Are Retained, and
in Some Instances suu Further Gaius
Are Reported.
New YORK, Sept l5.-Bradstreets' re-
view of trade, issued today, says; All the
features Of improvement In general trade
reported a week ago are retained, and
from number of more important bust
ness centers still further gains are re
ported. Commercial travellers from Bal
timore are making their second trip to
the south, and regard the business pros
poets as exceptionally bright At various
northwestern centers cold weather has
stimulated sales in dry goods, clothing
and shoes, Woolen dress goods are not
sold as actively as in previous weeks
Encouragement is gained from improved
demand for money in Savannah, Augusta
and New Orleans, due to increasing re-
ceipts of cotton, and demands for advau-
ces on the crop. At Chicago money is also
more active.
The southern pig iron market may be
gauRed by sales at Nashville thus far this
month equal to total sales during August.
Inquiries are received from the north for
heavy blocks of pig iron Demand for pig
iron is also marked at Chicago.

We are so used to regarding the
world around us from the standpoint
of our own sight that it is hard To re-
alize that to other creatures, far out
numbering us and. perhaps. quite as
important in the economy of nature,
it must look quite different The
honey bee, for example, Is supplied
with pair of compound eyes with
hundreds of facets, each capable of
sight by itself, and several occelli or
little. simple eyes more closely allied
to our own How these eyes are used,
what are their separate functions,
what sort of images they can present
to their owners, all remain questions
as interesting and well-nigh unsolved
as they were before the days of our
power:ul microscopes. Notwithstand-
ing the fact that hundreds of en-
tomologiSts have been and are inter
ested in this subject, we yet are only
at the stage where we can affirm that
the honey bee sees very different
flower from the one in which we OBJ
serve her in search for sweets, al
though of what that difference Is and
how it is produced we can form but
little idea

HAVE THEIR OWN METHODS.
The CassOwaries Pursue = Plan OF Their
Own for Catching Eish.

The methods employed by the casso-
wary in catching fish differ materially
from those of the common fish-hawk.
The tish-hawk employs very much the
same methods as the birds of prey.
while the cassowary fishes according to
method of its own and uses a good deal
of strategy. A number of years ago L
was standing near the bank of a river
when l saw cassowary come down to
the waters edge and stand for some
minutes, apparently watching the
water carefully. 1t then stepped into
the river where it was about two feet
deep, and, squatting down, spread its
wings out, submerged them, the feath-
ers being spread and ruffied. The bird
remained perfectly motionless and
kept its eye closed, as if in sleep 1t
remained in this position at least half
an hour, when il suddenly closed its
wings, and, Strengthening its feathers.
stepped out on the bank. Here il shook
itself several times, whereupon a num-
Der of small fishes fell out of its wings
from amid its feathers, which the bird
immediately picked up and swallowed.
The fishes had evidently mistaken the
feathers for kind of weed that grows
along the river bank and which res..ru-
bles the feathers of the cassowarv.
The smaller fishes often seek hiding
place in these weeds to avoid the larger
ones that prey upon them
