GENTRY'S GREAT NILE
He Covers the Distance in Two Minutes
and a Half Second.
CREATING A NEW WORLDS RECORD
The Great PAGER Reached the Half Mile
Post in Less Than a Minute, and
Made the Last Quarter in Thirty
ana Quarter Seconds.

PORTLAND, Me, Sept 25.-John r. Gen
try yesterday, at Rigby Park, paced the
fastest mile ever made in harness, and
placed the worlds record at 2OO15. The
day was cold, and light northwesterly
Tind was blowing up the stretch when
John r. Gentry, with W.S.Androws upon
the sulky, came out to go against his rec.
ord of POI 4, made on Sept. of this year
at Glens Falls, ~ Y, in the second heat
of a race with Star Pointer. Gentry had
been given two warming up miles during
the afternoon, and when he came out for
the third the sun was rapidly sinking.
The famous PAGER scored once or twice
with the runner who was TO pace him,
and then went up the stretch on what was
to be the fastest mile ever done by horse
The evening herald. [volume] (Shenandoah, Pa.) 1891-1966, 1896-09-25

In harness There was not a big crowd
present, but what there was of them gave
the PAGER a great ovation as he came down
towards the wire for the word "go "
shouted by Starter Culbertson, and hun.
dreds of watches caught the PAGER at his
start.
The runner was at the PAGERS throat
latch as they made the first turn on the
stretch. Gentry went steadily and with
apparent ease, the runner having hard
work keeping his position. The judges
caught the quarter mile at 29L seconds,
and the second quarter was made in 3Oh
seconds, making the half mile in 59H.
The runner, by the use of the whip, was
keeping up at Gentry's wheel, but was
making hard work of it. The third quar-.
ter was made in 30M seconds, making the
three-quarters 1904
As they turned into the home stretch
and caught the wind in the teeth the crowd
began to yell wildly, and both drivers
commenced to sing encouragement to
their horses and to use the whip little.
With the shouting of the crowd, which
was now cheering like mad, the PAGER
spurted for the wire and considering that
he had the wind in his teeth, made the
most remarkable quarter of the heat, in
3OH, making the mile in two minutes and
one-half second, just one second less than
the former best record first made by
Robert j. at Terre Haute in 1895, and
equalled this year by John II. Gentry,
When Starter Culbertson announced
the time, the crowd broke through the
fence and crowded out on the track and
around the PAGER cheering wildly. 1t is
believed that had Gentry not had to con
tend with the wind he would have made
the mile in two minutes easily.
After Gentry's great mile Robert j.
came out to beat his record of 20219, but
only succeeded in making the mile in
2.03%.

crime, except his strange dislike of the

A novel scheme for saving his cattle
from the droves Of coyotes that infest
the region has been hit upon by a
rancher of Glen Rock, Wash. He has
placed bells On the necks of great
number of cattle in his herds, and the
result has been to scare the coyotes
away. IN the two months since he
belled his herds he has not lost single

are becoming more of a pest every sea-
son in many parts of Washington and
Oregon, despite all the efforts of the cat
tlemen and farmers to eXterminate
them. Thousands of dollars are spent
every year in waging war on the beasts,
but with little result. Poison availcd
for time, but now the coyotes refuse to
touch the poisoned carcasses of steers
strewn about for their consumption
The only way Of killing them is by
shooting them, and this is feeble and
wholly inadequate means. Occasion
ally the residents of a district comb ine

this is the only means Of appreciably
thinning them out occasionally. In
some regions the packs of gray wolves
are as numerous and troublesome as
