HOT TIME IN KNOXVILLE.
The Carnival Will Be Tn Full Blast Ten Days
 From Nova

There will be a hot time in Knoxvills, Tenn, ten days from now. when the second annual merchants and manu- facturers free street fair and trade car nival will ba held from Oct. 12 to 15 in- elusive.
 The indications are that one of the largest crowds in the history of Knox vile will be present on that occasion. People from all states in the union, eS- pecially the southern states are ex- pected to be present and it is to be some thing more than local.
 Many attractive features have been arranged, and many prominent people will be in attendance. Gov. Robert L. Taylor will be one of the principal speakers, and he will be attended by governors from other states. Hon. Will liam Jennings Bryan will also probably be present.
 The center of all attractions will be the "Veiled Prophet of the Smolies," about which so much has been said since the inauguration of the carnival al, Knoxville. The coming of the Yelled Prophst of the Smokies Is an annual event in the mountains of East Ten nessee.
 The work of the womans department is promised to be surprise to visitors on that occasion. On Governors Day they will giva reception in the woman's building in honor of the visiting gov ernors; they will have complete control of the grand historical ball; they will hold womans congress, in which such distinguished women as Mrs. Van Leer Kirkman and Mrs. J. W. Thomas, pres ident and v:ce-president Of ths woman's board of the Tennessee Centennial, will participate. In addition to shis the women will have building of their own, in which VIII be displayed evsry variety of work mot foreign to wo- mans brain.
 Buffalo Bills circus on the day before the carnival, the base ball game between the New York and Baltimore league teams, foot ball games, sham battles, dog shows. bicycle parades and athletic sports of all kinds, along with various other side attractions, will make this great occasion and bring about great gathering of peo, 2.

King of the Racers

Springfield, H., Oct. 1.-In race that was witnessed by at least 65,000 people Star Pointer on the Illinois State Fair grounds track this afternoon not only maintained his reputation as the king of pacers by beating Joe Patchen, but he also lowered the worlds pacing record in a race by half a second, making a mile in 2:001a, the record in a race having been POI, which Star Pointer made on Saturday, Sept. IS, at Indianapolis, when he defeated Joe Patchen. Star Pointer was greeted with tremendous cheering by the assembled thousands as he passed under the wire in the third heat, and the announcement of the lowering of the worlds pacing rec ord in a race was received with tumult- ous applause. The record for 1897 for stallions was also broken by William Penn in the first heat of the free for all trot, he making the mile in 2:O7a. 6.
 The weather was intensely hot, and scores of men and women of the thou sands who had stood in the sun along the race track for hours, with the mer- cury s1 degrees in the shade, fainted.
