urday session. Both bulls and bears seem

OF this January. the active month at this
time, has closed exactly at the same price
for the past four DAYS 1t hasn't nuc-
tuated 10 points one way or the other any
day since Wednesday. The bears are evil

GREAT WORK by GENTRY.
The FIeetest of PAGERS Does a Mile
at Portland in 2,OO1k.

The FIeetest of PAGERS Does a Mile
at Portland I'm 2OO1k.
Portland Me-. Sept. 24.--At Rigby track
to-day, the worlds record was broken by
John r. Gentry, the magnificent horse
pacing the fastest mile ever made in har-
ness, and placing the worlds record at
only half a second over two minutes, or
2:OOh. Gentry was roundly applauded
when he appeared on the track for his
great trial Of speed. He had been out on
the track several times before, and had
been the center OF all eyes. When w. 8.
Andrews drove him on the track for the
effort to break his record, the air was
chilly and a light northwesterly breeze
blew up the home stretch. His record be-
fore starting was 2Olh which he made
Sept 8, at Glen Falls, N Y, in the second
heat Of a race with Star Pointer. Andrews
had given Gentry two warming up miles,
and it was nearly sunset when he was
ready to start for the event mile.
A runner appeared with Gentry to pace
him After scoring twice, Andrews came
down to the wire TO pace the fastest mile
ever accomplished by horse In harness.
The crowd cheered as ne approached
the starting point. GO" shouted Starter
Culbertson, and hundreds of watches
caught the PAGER at the start. The run
ner's nose was within two feet of Gentry's
nose as they made the first turn. On the
stretch Gentry was going gracefully and
steadily, getting over the ground In great
shape, and the runner had to work hard
to keep up The first quarter was given
by the judges as made in :29h People
began to wonder when the half mile was
finished in 59lk seconds. and TO look for a
two-minute pace At this point the run
ner's driver was using the whip and maxi
ing a great effort, and succeeding In keep
ing at the wheel OF Gentry's sulky. The
third quarter was reeed off IN :30A, max
ing the time at the three quarter post
I :3Oh. This was great going, and now
came the last quarter and home stretch.
As the horses turned into the home sire ch
and caught the wind in their teeth, the
crowd began 10 shout and hurrah and
Andrews shouted encouragingly to his
horse. The runners driver also urged his
horse and used the whip sparingly All
this nerved the PAGER TO a supreme eff
fort, and It can be seen how noble an
effort he made, for with the wind in his
face, he made the last quarter quicker
than the third quarter, doing Il In :3JA,
and thus covering his mile In 2:OOh. This
was a whole second less than his former
record which had never been surpassed
by any horse, and only equalled by Rob-
ert J. (2:0llD in 1894 at Terre Haute.

A SLAP LEADS TO LYNCHING.
Mob Hangs a Negro For siapDing IA
POIfceman's Child.

New Orleans, Sept A-On Tuesday
night last a negro named Hawkins was
burning some pitch in Gretna and was an
noyed by a number OF children. He told
them to go away, and as they did not
obey quickly he Slapped one Of them. This
child happened to be a nephew of one
of the Gretna police force. This man,
on being informed of the occurrence,
raised a great hue and cry and went after
Hawkins, who made his escape. Two IN
nocent negroes In whose house Hawkins
took refuge were shot and badly wounded
by the crowd in pursuit Of Hawkins who
had left the house some time before. Last
night Hawkins was captured in Algiers
and carried to Gretna, where he was
locked up In what Is called the little jail
a small frame building in a neighbor-
hood where there are but few houses.
The door was secured by a paddock, ana
no one was on guard. About / o'clock
this morning a mob broke open the
house, took Hawkins out, carried him
about a mile away and hanged him Ar
ter life was extinct the body was taken
down and thrown into the river. To-day
the authorities Of Gretna profess ignor-
ance of the occurrence and the police OF
that village claim Hawkins broke jail.
and exhibit the broken paddock as proof.
