Detroit, Mich, July "a Robert J.
was the drawing card to-day, and al
though he did not lower his record,
nearly everybody was satisfied when
they learned that they had witnessed
the second fastest mile ever paced. 1t
was 4:25 when the gelding got away
with Geers holding the lines and the
runner, Cheerful, tapping his sulky.
The bay beauty was as steady as a clock
from wire TO wire. as the sectional time
shows, and TO the ordinary spectator it
appeared that he could easily have
broken his record had he been urged.
The sectional time was: :SOA, 1:O1A,
1:S194, 2:O2.
An hour later he went another mile
with the runner leading the way in
2:O31s.
Starter Loper announced, however,
that Geers was merely working the
champion couple of slow miles to get
him in shape for his race next week.
The unfinished 21O pace was easily
won by Coleridge in straight heats. He
also made the best time of the meet
ing thus far
The PA trot was a mix-up, and re-
quired eight heats to decide it. Geneva
sold fayorite in the auctions, but only
took fourth money. Bright Regent. the
favorite in the four-year-old pace. after
dropping two heats, took the next three
rather easily.

Mr. Carlisle then went on TO say than

How about the third term talk?
Many people are expressing a desire

"As close as l am to the President"
said Mr.. Carlisle, "he has never refer

But as Mr.. Cleveland did not seek the
