THE MUSIC OF NIAGARA.
A Musician Hears the harmonlss and the
Rhythm OF the Mighty Cataract.

Eugene Thayer. the well known or.
ganist. has published an analysis Of
the music Of Niagara Falls. lie says: :.
ut had ever been my belief thatNia.
CARA had not been heard as It should
be. and In this belief I turned my
steps hitherward. What did hear?
The roar Of Niagara? heard nothing
but perfectly constructed, musical
tone. clear. definite, and unappiOach-
able In Its majestic perfection, a COM
plete series Of tones, all uniting "a one
grand ana noble unison, as In the or.
gan"
Mr.. Thnyer then describes at some
length the compound nature Of a given
tone. and illustrates the ovcrtoncs or
partlais OF the lowest G OF the 32 foot
pipe of the organ. Then he continues:
II had long had u suspicion that I
should hear all this ut Niagara when
her wonderful voice should first greet
my ears. II was just as I had sup.
posed. How should ! prove all this?
My first step was to visit the beauti.
ful Iris Island. otherwise knOw,l as
Goat Island. My next step was to
stand on Luna Island. above the cen.
tra! fall. and on the west side OF the
American fall proper. went on the
extreme eastern side of the island n
order to get the full force Of the larger
fall, and sat am0nOg the rapids. Next
l went to the Three Sisters Island.
"With more or less variation OF pitch
at these and many other points, heard
everywhere the notes OF rhe chord Of
q, only four Octaves lower.
II arrived at my conclusion both
Theoretically and practically. Let me

fourth notes, ID and q.
''rhe ground note, @, was so deep.
so grand, so mighty, that never could
realize 1t or take 1t into my thought or

a power which made itself felt as well
as heard.
But. 1t will be replied, these two
notes were too low to he detected by
the sense of hearing. How did de,
teIm'ne rheir pitch?
II first caught the harmqhc notes
above them that were definite In pitch
and then, counting the number of vi
bia,lOns OF these lower notes, easily
determined their distance below.
"And here comes curious feature
which proves that Niagara gives a tone
and not roar. The seventh note, the
interval of the tenth, was Of power

that which only partakes Of stimulants

Is applied In this country the title of
nipping, while In the East 1t Is spoken
OF as "pegging."
And this IL the most perniclOus of all
forms Of drinking, from the fact that

companies, it is said, have recently been

Democratic party is successful in the
coming election, their policies will be
worth but half the amount on which the
premiums have been paid. 1t is said Mr.
Parks has been quietly securing a col
lection of these circulars, which he
claims are evidences of insolvency on
the part of the companies, and he now
proposes to cancel the licenses of all
such companies which are now doing
business in this State.
1t is claimed that the Auditors judg-
ment in such cases is final, and that
If he insists upon this course, the COM

GENTRY ACCOMPLlSHES TIE FEAT
BREAKS THE WORLDS PACING
STALLION RECORD.
Goes Mile on the Columbus Track
in 2:O3 1-4-PreviOus World
Record, 2:O3 1-2.

COLUMBUS, Aug. John r. Cen
try, the wonderful pacing stallion,
who holds the worlds record, reduced
that record on the track of the Column
bus Driving Association to-day, and
established in connection with previous
fast time made on this track reputa-
ton as fast track for this course. The
track was recently carefully remeas-
ured by an engineer to set aside
charges that it was a short mile, and
found it to be two feet over a mile.
It was almost 5 o'clock when Gentry
was brought out for preliminary
warming up for the attempt to break
his own record and the worlds record
for pacing stations, 2:031a. The track
was heavy from the rains of last night,
and it was not expected that he would
succeed. The other races of the after
noon had, however, greatly improved
the tracks condition. Two or three
miles were paced at a lively clip, the
great crowd cheering enthusiastically
They wanted him to win, and he
seemed to know it. Billy Andrews
drove him, and when he was ready for
the start John Dickerson, with his lit
tie running horse, went to the half to
pace him in.
The second time he came up to the
line Andrews gave the nod and was
away. Down the first quarter he flew
like an arrow, but the watches showed
that he had consumed 0:31b in reach
ing that post. Hope of breaking the
record fell as the watches indicated
1:O212 when he reached the half. Then
the effort of the pacing horse began to
show itself, and he made the third
quarter in 1:291a. Down the stretch
the horses came like the wind, and it
was evident that he was pushing the
record very close. Great cheers went
up from the grand stand at the mag
nificent exhibition Of speed at the fin
fsh, which rose again when the time
was hung out and was officially an
nounced that Gentry had broken his
record and also the worlds stallion
pacing record from 2:0312 to 2:O3A.
In the fourth heat Of the 2:2O pace
Miss Jennings, who had won two heats.
vas distanced. The action of the
horse was such as to lead the Judges
to suspect that she was held in, and
they declared all bets on the heat Off
and also all pool bets on the race.
The 2:12 class pace was not reached,
and was announced that it would be
called at noon tomorrow.
