PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 22,-The ia
nous PAGERS, John r. Gentry and Rob-
ert j., hltched together, this afternoon,
lowered the worlds double team record
for mile to 200, on the track OF the
Belmont Driving Club. The quarters
were: :33; 1904; 1:37; 200. The previous
record was 2:09k, held by Mrs. w, b. u.
Stokes Miss Rita and Josie B.
With the exception OF light breeze
the weather conditions were good for
the trial. The track itself was also In
good condition. although It is rated two
seconds slow by expert turfmen. Be
tween the other events on the pro-
gramme the two PAGERS were given a
warming up In sulkies. During this pre-
liminary work, Gentry was sent mile
In 2:li. II was $3.50 o'clock when the
$500 people present greeted the famous
pair as they came up the stretch from
the paddock. Robert j, had the pole.
They were hitched TO a pneumatic tired
wagon, which weighed Just siXty-one
pounds The relns were held by Il. h.
Bovine, who tipped the scales. at one
hundred and fifty-five pounds.
Bovine took the turf champions twice
around the mile track for warming
up, and then started for the wire. As the
team came down the stretch toward the
wire. Gentry, who was the near horse.
broke and they were taken back to the
three-quarters post and again started
As they neared the wire q second time.
Driver Bovine gave the nod 20 Starter j.
A. Marshall, and they were or amid the
cheers OF the crowd. When the watches
recorded thirty-three seconds for the
first quarter, the crowd almost lost hope
of the team lowering the record. They
were going beautifully, however, and
the next quarter proved to be the fast
est OF the four. This was made In Slh,
or l:O4i4 for the half mile. As they pass
ed the half mile post, Gentry's near
boot came down and every time 70
stepped he would hoist his leg In an eff
fort TO free himself OF It. Bovine had
the pair well in hand though, and the
three-uuarters was made In 1881. AS
they came down the stretch, the pair
for some distance, kept nearly in step
and they were pacing beautifully as
they passed under the wire. The crowd
which had been breathlessly watching
the final squirt Of the sterling team, and
realizing that record time was made
sent up cheer as the pair crossed the
finish line There had been no skip dur
Ing the whole mile, When the official
time, 200, was posted, the cheering
crowd swarmed over the track and
gathered about the handsome PAGERS
Gentry's leg was slightly cut where the
loose boot had rubbed It,
Mr. Bovine, after the trial, said the
team would have the mile in 2;O7la or
better, had not Gentry's boot become
loosened.

Matthew The Vvinntr.

The seventy-five mile match race be
tween May Allen, the English racerand
WIN Matthews, who styles himself the
champion OF West Virginia, ended last
night at the base ball park, and Mat
thews showed his wheel across the tape
a length ahead Of his opponent, Miss
Aliens manager sets up the claim that
Matthews disqualified himself by
changing wheels during the race, but
such plea won't go with fair-minded
persons. Miss Allen was beaten fair
and square, and II Matthews changed
wheels the gain was Miss Aliens.

SPANS ANSWER
She Does Not Know When the Cuban War
Will be Ended-Sh Gives Our Govern
ment a Slap

Madrid, October 12.-Tt is semi-officially
announced that the reply Of Spain to the
note presented by the United States
Minister, General Stewart L. Woodford
has been drafted by the minister for for
eign affairs, Senior Gullon, and will be
submitted to the cabinet at it's meeting
tomorrow. The reply, it is stated, will
say that Spain is unable to fix exactly
the date when the war will be over; but
the ministers are persuaded it will not be
long, bcause the situation OF the rebels
is critical and the efforts of the Spanish
troops are sure of success. Owing. to the
rebel situation and the concession of
autonomy, administrative and economic.
which will be effective before January,
the government hopes actual hostilities
will finish shortly"
Spain, it is continued, thinks the re-
forms and the activity of the Spanish
troops are sufficient elements to secure
the immediate pacification of the island
which, it is asserted, would have been
more rapid if the rebels had not had the
succor of flibusterS who, under the
shelter of the American flag, have con-
tributed to maintain this state Of
AFFAIRS
The government has decided that Gen
eral Primo de Rievera is to retain COM
mand in the Philippine islands. in order
that he may initiate the proposed re-
forms and re-organize that colony.
