KINGS OF THE PACING WORLD.
Frank Agan wins the Free-for-ali and
Lowers His Record

LOUISVILLE, KY, Oct 90 Good
weather, good finishes and q crowd of
three thousand people characterized the
second days racing of the Louisville
Driving and Fair Association The
event Of the day was the free for all pace
and it is doubtful if the kings Of the
pacing world have ever given an exhlbi-
tion so prolific Of excitement as to-day's,
although the time was not so fast.
Frank Agan lowered his record OF
2:06 / 2 to 2:05 "a
The track was at its best, but even at
that, it was probably second slow. A
strong wind was blowing from the north,
which made the journey down the entire
back stretch bad. That the wind proved
a very considerable obstacle to anything
like record time is shown by the fact
that in most every heat the last quarter
was the fastest Of the mile. Robert j.
made noble struggle for victory and
Geers drove him out in every heat, but
Frank Agan, who was not sent out until
the third, won the last three heats, the
third and fourth without more than q
nose to spare from RobertJ. Joe Patchen
was the only one of the four PAGERS who
failed to take a heat but he was clearly
out of shape, showing some signs of
lameness.

DINA Agricultural Society Last
Night.
The North Carolina Agricultural So
ciety met last night in annual session.
Col. W. F. Green, chairman of the
Board of Agriculture, who had been re-
quested to speak on "The Mission Of the
Board of Agriculture, made very in
teresting report in regard to the work
done by that department. After de-
tai ing what was done by the
publication of the Hand Book Of
North Carolina, for the State, he
went on to show how, by the dissemina
ton Of knowlege obtained through this
source, the timber and mineral interests
had been greatly increased. To-day a
single walnut tree in Watauga county
(ten inches in diameter) sold for $3.50;
while the same cut into cabinet work
for veneering, would produce 81 400,
and the stumps have sold for $40. The
timber of the State is now largely i'm
ported to Europe to be used for veneer
ing purposes. He stated that the Tan
ming Company at Morganton pays $40, =
900 per year for bark for tanning pur-
poses. The inves 'ment of Vanderbilt in
Western North Carolina amounting to
$40, 900 900, was, in q great measure,
owing to the efforts of the Department
Large sums have been invested in the
oyster and fish interests. They have
always been fostered by the board.
Building stones have come into prom
inence. He mentioned a number of
companies which have done a large and
lucrative business. Through the efforts
of Gen. W. q. Lewis, the phosphate rocks
of Eastern North Carolina have been ex-
plored and found to be of considerable
commercial value. The mining gold in
the State has produced $22, 600, 600, one
nugget of eight pounds having been
found at the Crawford mines, in Stanly
county. Mining Tor copper, tin, mica,
kaolin, corundum and monSz to have
yielded good returns. In the line of
gems one Hiddenite, which is the rival
of the diamond, was valued at SIS, 900.
He spoke of the coal interests of the
State and their vast Importance in the
development of the State. A~heville
Blowing Rock, Linyile, Southern Pines,
Pinehurst, etc, were mentioned as
typical of our climate for health.
Col. Julian S. Carr, President of the
North Carolina Agricultural Society,
after a few words cOmplimenting
the work of the Agricultural
Department, announced the next
speaker, Mr.. S. Ohio Wilson, who
delivered an interesting address on
Irrigation and Trucking. He stated that
half the farmers in Wake county can
irrigate their farms from Neuse River
and Walnut Greek Mr.. Wilson exhibit
ed a map showing what an advantage
irrigation had proved to him 1t would
only cost 10 cents per acre to irrigate.

Came Near Being a Fatal Accident In
the Engine Room. Damage $500.

In the engine room of the Caraleigh
Cotton Mills yesterday afternoon there
was an accident which came near caus-
ing loss of life. The lower pressure
cylinder of the compound Corliss engine
cracked and the crank arm was broken

gipeer, Mr.. Guion Dewey, in shutting
down the engine. The damage will
amount to about $500. The cause is un-
known. The lower pressure side has
been stripped, and half the factory is run
in the day and the other half at night
by the high pressure side. 1t will prob
ably be month before the ordered re-
pairs will arrive.

STILL THERE is HOPE
THE ARKANSAS SPORTS HAVE
NOT YET GIVEN up THE
GREAT FIGHT.
ANOTHER PROPOSITION MADE

II is TO Fight for "A Purse not Exceed
ing s25 200 and have the Battle three
Weeks Later than the Time Origi-
nally Agreed Upon Fi,z,immons
Saws if There is not Fight il will
Not be his Fault--An Extra Session
of the Legislature aay be Called.
Hot SPRINGS, Ark, Oct. 25.-While
the big fight has been formally declared
off, there is still a deal of hope in the
natives breast that Corbett and Fitzsim-
mons will come together here. The sit
uation is of course complicated. So far
as its relations with the Florida
Athletic Club is concerned, the heavy
weights battle under the original Cole
man House agreement which was subse-
quently amended at Dallas, as a thing of
the past. In its stead has cropped up a
proposition to sign new articles to fight
for purse not exceeding $25 600 and
have the battle here three weeks later
than the time originally agreed upon.
Corbett, it is known favors this plan,
aud ii is known here that Fitzsimmons
will come about and agree to a settle
ment. 1t is also thought that be will
submit to a reduction of the purse origin
ally hung up by the club and sign new
articles.
FitzsimmOns' Statement,
Hot SPRINGS, Ark, Oct 22.-Martin
Julian, manager and backer of Fitz-
simmons, has made statement to the
public of which the following is the most
important:
Fitzsimmons to-day stands ready to
carry out to the letter every word con-
tanned in the articles to which he signed
his name. He wants to fight James J.
OOrbett: he wants to fight for The purse
offered by the Florida Athletic Club,
and the stake of $40, 600 side. If the
Florida Athletic Club is unwilling or
unable to carry out its part of the
compact, in so far as the purse is con-
concerned, then Robert Fitzsimm0ns
will, on October 81, take James J. Cor
bett to any part of the globe within reach
of both men, and then and there fight
him to finish for the $40, 600 side stake,
each man to select six men, and these
only to be present at the fight do not
care to mix matters. simply want to
state, and state it strongly, that if James
J. Corbett and Robert Fitzsimmons do
not meet and fight on October 81, it will
be by reason of no fault of Fits mmons'.
The Pugilists Not Indicted.
AUSTIN, Tex, Oct. 22.-The Travis
county grand jury made their findings
public to-day. They found no indict-
ments against Corbett or Fitzsimmons
for compounding felony or any other
violation of the law.
