GREAT OVATION AT RlosY PARK
To-Day Starpointer, John r. Gentry

Against Time on the
RigbY Track,

Portland, Me, Sept 24.--John K.
Gentry to-day at Rigby park, paced ths
fastest mile ever made in harness, and
placed the worlds record at 300 is.
The day was cold, and a light north
westerly wind was blowing up the
stretch when John r. Gentry, with w.
;. Andrews upon the sulky came out 10
go against his record Of 2:01 "a made
on September s, this year at Glenn
Falls, n. Y, in the second heat Of
race with Starpointer.
There was not a big crowd present,
but what there was of them gave the
PAGER a great ovation as he came down
towards the wire for the word Ego,
shouted by Strater CulDertsOn, and
hundreds Of watches caught the PAGER
at the start The runner was at the
PAGERS thrOat-latch as they made the
first turn on the stretch. Gentry went
steadily and wibh apparent ease, the
runner having hard work keeping his
position.
The judges caught the quarter mile
at 291a seconds, and the second quarter
was made in 30 seconds, making the
half mile in 52ib. The runner By the
use of the whip, was keeping up at
Gentry's wheel, but was making hard
work of it. The third quarter was
made in 30K seconds, making three
quarters in 1901.
AS they turned into the home
stretch and caught the wind in their
teeth, the crowd began to yell wildly
and both Andrews and the driver com
menced to ring encovrag to their
horses and to use the whip no little.
With the shouting OF the crowd which
was now cheering like mad, the PAGER
spurted for the wire and considering
that he had the wind in his teeth made
the most remarkable quarter of the
heat, i'm 30A, making the mile in two
minutes and one half second, just one
second less than the former best re-
cord, first made by Robert J., at Terre-
haute, in 1895.
The crowd broke through the fence
and crowded out on the track and
around the PAGER, cheering wildly when
the time was announced.
During the afternoon Fanticy went
against her record of 2:06, but only
made 2:07%.
After Gentry's great mile, Robert J.
came out to beat his record of 2:01b,
but only succeeded in making the mile
in 2:O31a.

that they represent Yale any more

ANOTHER LYNCHTNG PROBABLE.
A White Woman in Maryland Assaulted
by Negro.

+, Elldton, Md, Sept. 94--Mrs. Maggie
Pounds, aged 2S, wife OF John Pounds,
Of Leeds, Cecil county, was brutally
assaulted this afternoon by an uR-
known negro, near this town.
Mrs. Pounds was discovered in
ditch, in an unconscious condition, by
two neighbOrs. When she had recov-
cred consciousness, she told the follow
ing story: She was walking from
Elkton to her brothers, and when
about a mile and a half from the town
a negro stepped from the bushes and
confronting her, warned her to make
no Outcry and attempted to take hold
of her. She punched at him with her
umbrella and the next moment receiv-
ed a stunning blow in the face which
rendered her unconscious.
Mrs. Pounds presents a pitiable APP
pearance, her face is cut and swollen;
the blow broke her eye glasses and her
right is badly cut and filed with
broken glass; the physician believes
that the sight has been destroyed.
A negro answering her description
of her assailant has been arrested at
Chesapeake City and will be brought
here and lodged in Jail.
The feeling runs very high and there
is every likelihood that the man will
be lynched unless greatest precau-
tions are taken.

/ b
sented New Haven Sentiment.
Hartford, Conn, Sept. 24.-There
| was a big crowd at the depot when the
train bearing the Bryan party pulled
| out of New Haven at five o'clock. On
board were members of reception
committee from Meriden, where a big
meeting had been arranged, but owing
to a misunderstanding IT had TO be
cancelled at the last moment.
At Wallingford, the next stop, there
was a fair sized crowd waiting TO
hear the nominee, who made a brief
speech There was a large crowd at
Meride1 when the train pulled nihto
that station. Tt was expected that Mr.
Bryan would stop there forty minu tex
and when at the end of three minutes
the train moved away there was dis
appointed assemblage left behind
A large crowd turned ont to see him
on his arrival here and cheered him
enthusiastically. He was taken to the
hotel, being escorted by a band and
citizens in carriages.
In speaking of his reception at New
Haven, to-day, Mr. Bryan said that he
did not attribute it to sober minded
citizens of New Haven, but to the
younger members of Yale College. He
said he thought the boys were out on
lark and did not represent the senti-
ment of the citizens or Of the students
of the university.
The day was brought to a fitting
close with two big meetings in this
city tonight. both of which were adj
dressed by Mr.. Bryan.
Almost Immediately after dinner the
nominee was driven to Capitol Park,
situated on a hill in the centre of the
city. On the summit stands the mag
nificent State capitol building, and in
front of this Mr.. Bryan spoke from a
stand. The park, which covers an area
of seven blocks, was densely packed
with people and innumerable red lights
gave the scene a brilliant aspect.
Mr.. Bryan, in consequence of the
great crowd, was obliged to stand ON
chair in the middle of the platform,
in order to be seen by ALL This elevat-
ed his head and shoulders foot above
the occupants of the platform and
thus with barred head and turning
from side to side, to catch the ears of
all the citizens, he spoke as follws;

starts are things of the past in w. J.
Bryan's Itinerary. Hereafter he win
leave places where he has stopped over
night at reasonable hours, and will en-
deavor to get the rest he needs so bad
ly. The change is due to Josephus
Daniels, National committeeman from
North Carolina. While Mr.. Bryan was
in Mr.. Daniels State, he asked the lat
ter to accompany him to New England.
Mr.. Daniels soon found that Mr.. Bryan
was too obliging toward local commit
tees who wanted him to start at sun
rise or theFeabouts. He saw that that
sort of thing was likely to result disas-
tFously for the candidate physically,
and has informed those in charge of
the Bryan receptions at various places
on the candidates schedule chat Mr..
Bryan must be allowed to get more rest
in the mornings. 1t has been the Gus
tom of Mr.. Bryan's supporters in vari-
'Qus places to start him out as early as
possible through their particular sec
tions and keep him going until late at
night.
Mr.. Daniels is not Mr.. Bryan's man.
ager and does not accompany the lat
ter in that capacity, but he realizes
that the candidate needs some one to
look after the details of his journeying
through the country, and while with
Mr.. Bryan will do what he can to help
him in that way.
