John r. Gentry Fails to LosUer Any OF
HIS Precious Records.
TERRE HAUTE, IND, Oct. 2.-There
were 5000 persons at the track to see John
R. Gentry make the attempt for the record
of 900 for harness horse, and they were
sadly disappointed. The air was chilly
and there was some wind from the north
catching the horse at the third quarter OF
the mile, but it WAS not thought to be
strong enough to defeat him in the task.
In the trial he went away well and made
the first quarter in :31Z, and was at the
half in 1:oO1z and at the three-quarters in
1904.
The mile so far was exactly rated as
Andrews wanted it to make the two
minute mark or 1894. But the horse
weakened on the turn into the stretch,
and came under the wire very tired in
2:04k. Andrews says it was caused by
lack of work. The horse was simply not
keyed up for the full length of the mile.
He will be shipped from here to Phiia-
delphia Thursday. and will start at Bel
mont Park, October %.

LOST OFF LOCUST P0iNT.
Mystery Surrounds the Foun6eTng of q
Vessel Supposed to Be Passen-
ger Steamer

SANDUSKY, ONO, Oct. 30-News was
cred in the lake off Locust Point some
time during last week. Captain Cleaves
and crew of fishermen nearing their
rounds last Thursday noticed lot of
wreckage, and with the aid of glass they
were able to see spar projecting from the
water some distance away. An investiga-
tion was made and it was found that a
vessel had been sunk and the captain is of
the opinion it was steamer. There was
nothing in sight by which the name of
the boat could be ascertained, and no in
formation has been received from any
port that boat has been lost, but it is
certain that vesse. went down at that
point and probably with all on board.

early for practice, to be careful as to their
habits and diet, to use every means for
improving their play individually.
Last evening the men we're out early
and the practice was quite lively and the
play better than seen here for some time.
Jeffs, 9S, last years left end on the Var

on the gridiron. His performance was an
example for the other men in his clever
work at tackling and getting down on

gressive tackle. Harrington, '9S, and
