Robert j. Finds More Than His
Match
STAR POINTER is NOW KING
Cr0wding the Two.Minute Mile Mark
Very Closely
The Fastest Mile in Competition and the
Best Heat Ever Paced in the
World-Notes
Associated Press Special Wire

Associated Press Special Wire
| MEDFORD. Mass, Sept 1S-Star
Pointer at Mystic Point this afternoon
not only beat two accredited faster
| horses, Robert ]. (2:01h) and Frank
Agan (2:03A), but paced the three fast
est heats ever made in competition, the
time being 2:O21a, 2:031s and 2:OSN, an
average of 2:03A. He also lowered the
worlds record for the fastest heat ever
paced, 2:021a, as we'll as the records for
THE fastest quarter and half, 294 and
59& respectively.
The race between the three PAGERS was
phenomenal, for while in the first heat
Robert j. was beaten by ten lengths, in
the next two he was close on the leaders,
coming in second in the third heat.
Frank Agan in the whole race was never
length behind and at one time was
nose to the good. Star Pointer, however,
managed to go under the wire first in
every heat and must have hads omething
in reserve, for McCleary never raised his
whip in the three heats.
1t was shortly after 2 o'clock when the
gong rang for the pacEs. Robert j. was
the favorite, 100 to 200, with Frank Agan
s. to 100, and Star Pointer IS to 200. Star
Pointer had the pole and after two at
tempts the three We're sent away well
punched. The pace from the start was
terrific, much too fast for Robert j.,
who dropped behind the other two, being
five lengths in the rear at the first quar-
ter, which was made in 29% seconds.
Pointer and Agan were neck and neck
all the way down the back stretch, maxi
ing the half in 59&, with Robert ]. still
further behind. The three-quarter pole
was reached in 1:S11s, with Pointer
slightly in the lead and notwithstanding
the fact that Mccarthy applied the whip,
the son of Flora could not reach Point
er, and the two rushed under the wire in
the record breaking time of 2:021a, Rob-
ert j. being ten lengths behind. The Sec
ond heat was still more exciting, Frank
Agan poked his nose in front of Pointer

CHILDREN's HOME SOCIETY.
A Plea for Assistance From Benevolent
Societies and the General Public.

AT the regular monthly meeting of the
local board of the Children's Home soci-
ETY. held at their headquarters and re-
ceiving home. 22S West Twenty-flfth
street, it was proposed that a request be
made to the people. That, whereas, the
society during the past two years have
found that owing to the large number Of
children to be cared for that receiving
home and headquarters of the society's
own was sadly needed, and that because
of that fact a suitable building was de-
cided upon, and that it is now in process
of erection and nearing completion, and
that because of this work money is
needed to pay for material and labor,
we, the members most earnestly ask all
benevolent societies who may have
money in their treasury that they may
investigate our work and learn our
needs. Also individuals who may be
looking for seme object worthy of their
aid. All are invited to acquaint them
selves with the workings of the Chill
dren's Home society, an undenomina-
tional work
Offerings may be made to the treas
urer, Mr.. Geo. B. Shaffer, at First Ma
tional bank, or to the state suerntend-
ent. John Waldo Ellis, 22S West Twenty
fifth street.
The lot and building will cost when
comlete nearly $4,000, one third of which
has been provided for. This society has
permanently cared for eighty children
during the past year, placing them in
family homes for adoption.

ing the through rate on every shipment
to the various European points mem
toned in the table above.
These new rates are the outcome Of
advice given the company by people in
terested in fiuit shipments from Califor-
MIA to Europe. These people believe
there is greater field in Europe for CAL
ifornia dried fruits than for the fresh.
although they think the demand for the
latter is constantly on the increase.
e. r. Hutchins of Chicago, who Is Q
large dealer in California fresh fruits,
Is in the city, and in speaking about
dried and fresh fruit shipments from
California to Europe said yesterday:
California can develop a very large
and profitable sale of dried fruits in
Europe The sales of fresh fruits from
here are also increasing there. This sea-
son l have landed nine trainloads Of
pears, peaches and plums in London from
Sacramento. Eight of the trainloads
were sold at a good profit. The other
trainload happened to arrive when the
London market was glutted with French
pears, so the prices were not so good.
Five years from now belive I can sell
from 800 to 800 carloads of California
fresh fruit in London. It's bound to be-
come big business"

In Loving Memory Of MISS Nellie
HalIoran.

Who died April I'D. 1896, and was buried on Easte,
Sunday.
She sleeps the sleep that knows no waking
A restful, happy, dreamless sleep,
Unmindful of the sad hearts breaking,
Unconscious of the eyes that weep.
A fair young girl, a loving daughter,
A sister priced as dearest, best,
Has crossed life's stream of turbid water
And gone to eternal rest.
An easter offering to her Savior,
A white-souled maiden, lowering near
To the loving arms of Him who gave her
A little while to this earthly sphere.
We mourn our loss, but must endeavor,
To humbly bow to our Fathers will,
From sorrow and pain, she is free forever,
She has paid the debt we must all fulfil.
Pure as the lilies we placed above her,
Those emblems of innocence fair to view,
In death, as in life, we shall always love her,
Our gentle Nellie, SO faithful ond true.
In lovely spot, we left her sleeping,
The soft night winds around her play,
Their fragrant zephyrs gently creeping,
In silence through each branch and spray.
The wild birds join in tuneful pealing,
With outspread wings, which lightly wave,
Their ciearest, sweetest, notes revealing,
To sing their requiem Ger her grave.
