Medford, Mass, Sept. 19.-Star Point

not only beat two accredited faster
horses, Robert J.,2 Ola and Frank Agan
2032z, but paced the three fastest heats
ever made in competition, the time be-
ing 2:O21a; 2:O31a and 2:0394, an average
of 2;0314. He also lowered the worlds
record for the fastest heat ever paced,
2:0213, as well as the records for the
fastest quarter and half.
The race between the three PAGERS
was phenomenal for in the first heat
Robert J. was beaten by ten lengths, in
the next two heats, close on the leaders,
coming in second in the third heat
FRANK Agan in the whole race was new
eF a length behind and at one time was
nose to the good. Star Pointer how
ever, managed to get under the wire
first every heat and must have had
something in reserve, for Mccarthy
never raised his whip in the three
heats.
Robert J. was the favorite 100 to 200.
with Frank Agan 65 to 200 and Star
Pointer 35 to 100.
Star Pointer took the pole and after
the three We're sent away we'll punched.
The start was too much for Robert J.
who dropped five lengths in the rear
Inc urst quarter was made in 29% sec

reached in 1:311a. Robert J. was ten
lengths behind at the finish.
The second heat was more exciting

a little burst of speed, Pointer soon re-
gained his place. The quarter was
made in 301z; three-quarters in 1 :33 and

In the third heat Pointer led from the
start, but Robert J. managed to over

HOKE SMITH SPEAKS.
His Currency Views Haven't Changed
But All Should Support the
Nominees.

Dalton, Ga, Sept. 19.-Hoke Smith,
ex-secretary of the interior, spoke here
today at political rally held under
the auspices of the state Democratic
executive committee. The ex-secretary
reached Dalton yesterday afternoon
and was given an informal but enthus-
iastic reception here last night. His
address today was delivered to one of
the largest audiences of the campaign
and was met with frequent outbursts
of applause.
In beginning his speech Mr.. Smith
referred to a former visit to Dalton two
years ago, at which time he spoke in
behalf of sound currency and urged
that the Democratic national platform
should not approve the free coinage of
silver.
Mr.. Smith stated that he would not
be candid did he fail to say today that
his views upon the financial question
remained unchanged and he regretted
he could not endorse this part of the
platform adopted at the Chicago con-
ventiOn. He urged, however, that
those, who, like himself did not ap-
prove of this plank, should still remain
loyal to the regular nominees of the
party.
He claimed that long after the fin
ancial question was settled, the Demo-
cratic party would be found advOcat-
ing principles dear to the interest of
the masses of the people of the country.
1t would be unwise to quit the party on
account of opposition to a single plank
in the platform. So far as those were
concerned who had taken part in the
fight for sound money delegates to
the Chicago convention, he felt that
they were practically pledged, as he
was actually pledged to vote for the
nominee.
He approved the income tax, and in
sisted that it was not class legislation.

Ostensible owner now is ex-Police Cap
tain P. N. Gish. One morning Captain
Gish appeared at the Office with plenty
of money. He paid the eompOsitOrs
who had labor bills for various amounts
against the concern and he also paid
some other debts.
There was much speculation about
the source of the funds which Capt.
Gish distributed and when the paper
opened up a fight on the electoral tick
ct nominated by the POpulists and
Democrats, suspicion was aroused.
When Butler heard that Capt. Gish
had funds he demanded that his debt
be paid. When payment was not made
he commenced suit and he includes

w. F. Rightmire's convention did not
convene today, as it should have done
according to the call. The mighty

with Rightmire, came out in q letter
asking that his name be Cancelled on
the call This was the first blow to
the convention. Willis then proceed
ed to join with Bennington and Stein

electors for Watson by petition. In
the meantime Rightmire used his new
pass to go fishing on, and when he
came back he found that he was beaten
at his own game and the triumvirate

had made all the arrangements Tor

Mr. Rightmire, being cOmplacert

the matter and said that he would
abandon his convention, and rs q ne"
central committee had been formed and
were taking steps toward the same end,
he would step aside and let them run
things and that he would not have any
thing to do with the matter unless they
needed his services for the cause, in
which event they could call on him ana
that he would respond.
No delegates have arrived up to the
time of going to press, and unless MI

some time during the afternoon and
proceeds alone, there will be no con-

Starbuck lost a little over half mile
