DID NOT DRIVE 70 WIN.
Joe Patchen Allowed to Set a Lazy
Gait in Yesterdays Race
With John R. Gentry-Seven Heats
Paced, in One Of Which Gentry
Was Distanced, and in Another
Of Which He Made the Mile in
Three NIinutes-First Heat Made
in 2:O6 1-4-Other Pacing News.

Philadelphia, Pa, September 4.-The
attraction at the Belmont race track to-
day was the special race for $4,000 be-
tween Joe Patchen and John r. Gentry
and is was the cause of more dissatis-
faction than any similar event in the
history of the association. Had there
been betting it IS doubtful if Curry. the
driver Of Patchen, would have escaped
mob violence. In the first heat Gentry
took the lead and led by length
throughout The second heat was a
repetition Of the first. In the third
Gentry again took the lead and held it
to the wire, winning by nose. 1t was
apparent TO the judges, as it must have
been to the spectators, that Patchen was
not being driven 10 win. Curry was
hooted and jeered at, and cries of take
him ont, ''robber," and the like came
from the grand stand. The judge de-
clared this heat mo heat" The time
was 2:0Sl4. In the fourth heat Patchen
went out in front and led to the wire,
winning easily in 2:11. If the fifth
there was further trouble. Patchen set
slow pace and led by two lengths un-
til we'll into the stretch. Here Nc
Henry brought Gentry up and Patchen
broke. Curry claimed that he could not
prevent his horse from breaking. but
the jugdes thought otherwise and de-
clared this also no heat" and ordered
both horses out again. McHenry said
Il was an outrage TO make his horse pace
any more, he being in no way respons-
ible for Curry's misdeeds, but the
judges ordered another heat. They took
Curry down and substituted Dickerson,
who had driven Fred Kohl Patchen
won the heat easily. Gentry not being
driven out and was distanced. The
Judges waived the distance and ordered
another heat. Patchen took the lead
and logged the mile in 2:32. Gentry
hnlshed in about three minutes. The
judges said they would take action
against McHenry tomorrow for the
manner in which he drove the last two
heats. The first heat of the SPECIAL race
was the fastest mile ever made over the
Belmont track. The best previous re-
cord, 2:0S, was made by Saladin on
August 16, 1893.

Threatening Notices Drive the
Blacks Out of IA Texas County.
Paris, Tex, Aug. 5.-News reached here
of a bad state of affairs prevailing in Del
ia county, which adjoins this Oamar)
county on the south. One night last
week every negro was notified that he
must leave the county at once. or he
would be taken out and hanged. Notices
were posted informing white men who un-
dertook to protect them that they would
meet with the same fate. This caused a
perfect stampede among the negroes, who
began to move out of the county at once,
although the citizens offered them every
protection. In a radius of five miles, 1000
acres of land, crop and all, were aband-
oned and contracts for another year alb
ruptly cancelled. The whitecappers, or
whoever they were, continued to post
threatening notices and not a family is
left. One colony of negroes who owned
100 acres of the best land in the county,
have as yet got no offer for it. although
it is worth from $25 to $50 per acre. Feeling
is running high. Thousands OF acres of
the finest farming lands in the south will
be idle next year owing to the exodus.
