KING OF Alb PAGERS
GREATEST RACE OF THE YEAR
WON AT COLUMBUS BY ROB-

NEW FOURTH HEAT RECORD.
NOTHING TO EQUAL 1T EVER
RACED OR TROTTED ON ANY
TRACK.
BEST FOUR CONSECUTIVE HEATS.
Track, Individual and World Rec
Ords All Broken During the
Equine Battle Royal.

COLUMBUS, o., Aug. 6.-Robert ]
again demonstrated today that he is
the greatest PAGER ever harnessed to
sulky. Frank Agan was the favorite
in the free-for-alI pace and relying
upon his remarkable performance at
Cleveland, nearly every horseman On
the track backed him to win Pre-
race, Robert ] had few hackers out
side of Hamlin and the attaches of the
Village Farm stables. When Robert j
took the second heat. however, by a
fine squirt at the finish, the big crowd
became enthuSed and he at once be-
came a hot favOrite. 1t was evident
from the first that Robert j was to be
driven to win and the fact that Agan
was so heavily backed made it certain
that the race would be holly contested.
And so it was. 1t was the greatest
race of the year, the fastest four con-
Secutive heats and the fastest fourth
heat ever paced or trotted on any track,
being made. In the first heat, paced in
2:03%, AgaD lowered his record half
second and broke the track record.
The second and third heats in 2:0415
were considered phenomenal, but the
crowd was not prepared for the great
surprise when the fastest fourth heat
ever paced or trotted was made, the
time being 2:O2A..
1t was about 2:30 when the first heat
of the great race was paced. The sky
was covered with heavy dark clouds
that foreboded a storm and scarcely a
breeze stirred. The track was faster
than any previous day since the races
began. The immense grand stand was
filled with people and there was a per-
feet jam sin the betting sheds. There
were three starters in the race: Frank
Agan, driven by Mccarthy; Robert ],
driven by Starr, and Rubenstein,
driven by Laird. Geers expected to
drive Robert ], but had not sufficiently
recovered from the accident of Wednes-
day.
In the first heat the horses started
away we'll, Agan taking the lead and
holding 1t all the way around with
Rubenstein second and Robert third.
In the second heat Agan took the lead
and Rubenstein dropped behind Robert
j before the first quarter was paced.
Robert kept close second all the
way around to the stretch, when he be-
gan to move up. Just at the finish
Agan was pulled off his feet and
Robert went under the wire length
ahead. The third heat was almost a
repetition Of the second. Agan took
=, the lead and Robert Rugged his
sulky until they came into the stretch,
when Robert ] moved ahead. In the
fourth heat pretty start was made
and Rubenstein set the pace. the three
horses going in bunch almost to- the
three quarter pole with Agan in the
lead. After that Rubenstein dropped
back and Robert J, as in the previous
heats, Rugged Agan's sulky until they
turned into the stretch, when Robert
moved up and paced under the wire
length ahead of Agan. The time by

Rumor of the Sale OF the Kansas

A report has been printed that Jimmy
Manning had disposed OF his Kansas City
franchise and viii get out of the business.
While this cannot be verified. there Is no
question but that Manning would like to get
out OF base ball. TIE has been playing the
game since 1883 without a seasons rest, and
for the last three years has owned the KAN
sas City club. While Manning has been sue
cessful In the Cowboy town, he made up his
mind some time ago to sell out and not take
any chances on losing what he has already

quantity in base ball, and the cranks of
that city are always ready to turn against

ancient. The game was popular and

the seventeenth century and was prob
ably played there and in England cen

France the game came into many OF

critical writer has said that it is the

one OF the first things the colonist wants
to know Is whether living will be fairly

sonably cheap, and will the comforts
shall want for myself and my family be
procurable at moderate prices?"
These are the sort of questions that
occur to the balancing" cOlonist. But
as regards the French colonies a close
investigation can prove only one thinl
