A Two-MINurE HoRsE.
Star Pointer Paced a Mile in One Min
ute and Fifty-Nine and One
fourth Seconds.

At Readville, Mass, Saturday, August
25th. the long expected two-minute
horse came to the front and placed the
record three-quarters of second below
that long attempted mark. The dis
patches give the following account of the
making of the record:
Accompanied by a runner, the big bay
Tennessee stallion wiped out the
mark and had three quarters of a second
to spare when he went under the wire.
This wonderful performance was wit
messed by about 5000 persons. It was
the more wonderful for on Friday Joe
Patchen, with Geers behind him, had
made a try at the mark made by John
R. Gentry last October, and had failed
by second and half. Because of this,
it was not thought that his greatest
rival in the race line would get down be-
low the even time-mark.
The day was perfect for record break
ing. Not breath of air was stirring
when at O'Clock the horse came out
with running horse to make the trial
for a worlds record. The first two
scores we're not satisfactory to McCleary
and he worked the horse way down be-
low the turn. The second score was
even worse than the first, for while at
scarcely two minute clip he went to a
break right under the wire. This made
the friends of the horse more than a
If a little sore and not up to the task.
But the third time down there was no
| hesitancy. McCleary nodded for the
7 word, and off the PAGER went.
n The first quarter was at a two-minute
Hgait, thirty seconds, and then, as Nc
Cleary called on his PAGER to move, there

Around the turn Pointer seemed tt
waver the smallest fraction of second
but McCleary had him right almost be

At the drawgate Pointer was reefed

The Britton Neck Farmers Club met
at the residence of George F. Tennison
on the third Saturday, April nth. In
the absence of Mr. Tennison, who was in
Washington, the Club was Hospitality
met by his son JET.
Mr.. Gibbons and - Tcnnison were
elected honorary members. The sub
ject for debate was taken up by Mr.. III.
NJ. ii. Yates, who said Did it profit us
to work more land than we could ma
nure and work il proftably, or rather.
did it pay US to work over great area
of poor land? For instance, we had
better thickly manure land and work
proftably 10 acres than half manure and
half work 90 acres. One man could
work 10 acres where it would take two
to work 90, and only half MANFRED.
Now, estimate what it will cost, to pay
andfeed that man and seewhat year gains
are. He went on still farther to state
that il was dead expense to any FARM
er to hire and feed a man or men to- work
poor land. Show more attention to your
compost, make all the manure you can.
spread it ON your land to get vegetation
and life in it,
Mr.. T. Abel said that we should be
careful in selecting our tobacco land.
All soils will not make tobacco. II
takes rich, soft, fine soil and should be
thickly manured-the best you have on
the farmland should not plant more
than We can give the proper attention.
The trouble is we all plant more than can
be properly MANFRED and handled. All
the members agreed with the two gen
tlemen mentioned.
The examining committee made the
following report: We have examined
the farm and surroundings of Mr.. Geo.
F. Tennison and find the tobacco crop
all stripped and nicely bulked, and
fair crop of corn land all broken, but
not in shape for planting. The wheat
not looking good; il has a yellow APP
pearance. The horses and cattle look

good, but the dogs have killed two and
worried the flock badly; poultry numer-
Gus and looking fine. We think the to-
bacco barn should be whitewashed, the
dwelling painted and the pailing around
the yard renewed. We think he has
been thoughtful in trimming the young
locusts around the creek edges. Road
to the house in good order, but the mid
die gate needs fixing. Everything seems
to be comfortable and neat around the
buildings.
The next meeting, 3rd Saturday in
May, will be at Mr.. John T. Johnson's /.
Messrs. w. S. Davis, J. J. Alvey and r.
+. WOODBURY. will be the examining
committee.
The club was Hospitality entertained
in the dining-room by Miss Lottie Ten

Mrs. Tennison and her daughter, Miss
Lottie, for their kind reception.
