.PATCHEN KING OF PAGERS.
Gentry, Coieridge and Robert
J Beaten in Racing
Battle.
DECIDED IN FIVE HEATS.
The Talent Thrown Down In the
Betting After the Victor Had
Lost Two Heats.

LEAIN6ION, NY, OCT. 9.-Ine DlacE
stallion Joe Patchen lowered the colors of
his two famous rivals, Robert J and John
r. Gentry, this afternoon and proved him
self the king of pacing stations. He
fought out racing battle of five heats and
was in the contest from first to last
Though defeated his two rivals are by 10
means disgraced, as each showed sterling
qualities to fight out brilliant racing
battle. Coleridge was in the wrong class
and did not even show his early season 8
form.
A crowd of 5000 viewed the race and
cheered the heat winners with genuine
enthusiasm. Robert ] was we'll played at
500 to $50 over the field. A cold wind
barred fast time.
Patchen carried the gelding in the first
heat to the half in 1:01, but nearing the
sixth furlong Robert ] made break and
it appeared to be all up with him. Nc
Henry came fast with Gentry, and COLI
sion looked certain, but broken wheel to
Robert J's sulky was all, and Patchen won
an easy heat by several lengths from
Coleridge.
At the finish of the second heat, with
Robert and Patchen making close tie
for first place, McHenry came at them
with a rush and won the heat in 2:05H.
Gentry was timed separately the last quar-
ter, and made it in 2914 seconds.
In the succeeding two heats it was
Patchen and the gelding, who landed the
third, and rally was made on him in
the speculative arena with fatal results, as
he could not head off the black stallion.
This makes the fourth time that Patchen
has defeated Robert during 1895.
Geers had little trouble to land Night
| lngale q winner in the 200 trot while
with Roetta Soap he wound up the unfin-
ished IT trot in two heats.
| Thomas won handily the $4,000 West
stakes with that reliable four-year-old trot-
! ter Dentine, who has started thirteen times
this season, winning seven firsts and six
second moneys.
The $4,000 Pennsylvania stake for 2:15
trotters will be the star event tomorrow,
nineteen starters having been named, and
it gives fair promise of being a battle
royal.
