Team Pacing Record Broken.

GLENS FALLS, N. Y, Oct. Sat the
mile track of the Northern Horse Breed
ers' Association here to-day John r. Gen
try and Robert J. broke the pacing team
record, going the mile in faultless style in
2:OS This was done after the pair had been
sent a mile in 2:11. Before the close of the
days sport, Gentry. with his running mate,
paced a mile in 2:03A. Three thousand per-
sons filed the stands.
Robert j. was given q warming-up heat
in ZIP and Gentry was sent mile in
2:09lb. The two great PAGERS then made
ready for their effort against the world s
record of 2:09 for double teams. After a
short spin they faced the wire and received
the word They turned the first quarter
in 49, going steady, and at the half l:O4s4
was hung out; the three-quarters was
turned off in 1874 and the mile in 2:11.
This. of course, was disappointment.
On the second trial the team got away
on the third score, Robert j. having broken
on the first turn In the two first attempts
The first Quarter was a repetition of the
first trial-in :32-but the half mile was a
quarter of a second slower They reached
the three-quarter pole IN 1854 again AS
they Strengthened out for home Driver
Bovine shook them up Bit and tney came
down the stretch in a tremendous burst of
speed, passing under the wire In the mar
and making the mile in 2:0S. The crowd
went wild with enthusiasm.
Shortly afterward Gentry was brought
out for his trial with running mate to
break the track record of 2:0l92, made by
himself in 1896. He went the distance with
clock-like regularity in 203s4, finishing
fresh, which, considering the work he had
done previous to this. was a great perform
ance. Robert J. was then sent along. He
turned the first quarter in 80, the half in
/ minute the three-quarters in 1888. and
the mile in 2:04A. The wind interfered
greatly in the trials, and but for this in
reference the record would undoubtedly
have gone much lower.
In the 2:1S trot and pace, in which there
was five starters, Geneva won in straight
heats.
Gentry and Robert j. will be shipped to-
morrow to Hagerstown, Md, where they
will appear at the state fair. They will go
from there to Nashville, Tenn.

Pacific coast was dropped. According to the
statement OF the local managers who have
the affairs of the big circuit in hand, Di-
rector Gustav Walter. of the Orpheum cir
cult. insisted on performers going 10 the
coast for the same salary they obtained
through the East and this part of the coun-
try, and in justice to the performers play
ing the eight theaters directly booked by the
decided TO drop the extreme Western end
of the circuit in all negotiations with per-
formers. As the salaries on the coast have
heretofore been double the amount received
elsewhere due to the heavy expense and
loss of time making the big jump this move
is expected to result benefcially to the
vaudeville performers.

The Southport Leader SuspendS.

The Messenger regrets exceedingly
to chronicle the suspension of the
Southport Leader, with its issue of
| yesterday. The paper was established
| seven years ago by Mr.. c. L. Stevens,
| now of the New Bern Journal, and for
the last six months or more his brother
| Mr.. A. E. Stevens, has been h edi-
tor. These gentlemen got up one Of
the neatest, newsiest n brightest
weekly papers in the state and it would
have been a credit to IN county in
the state. The Messrs. Stevens nave
been live, en~terprising and progress
sive and the suspension of The Leader
will be a decided loss to the journalism
Of the state.
We take from The Leader of Thurs
day the following announcement con-
corning it's suspension:
THE Southport Leader will be dis
continued with this issue.
Our subscription list has been trans
ferred to the Wilmington Messenger
n subscribers will receive The Mes
senger next week in place of The
Leader. The Messenger is published
twice a week, and is an eight page paper
az PAsOO " ySoAs II 40 a
progressive paper and will doubtless do
Southport and Brunswick county full
justice.
Those Of our subscribers who have
paid their subscription in advance
within the last two months will re-
ceive the money for the uneXpired
portion of their time, in case they pre-
fer, by application at this office.
1.-The Leader is proud of its record
during the seven years of it's existence.
1t has contained more valuable origi-
nal matter than n weekly published
in the state. 1t has always been clean
and progressive. Published as a dem
Ocratic paper, it is especially proud of
having refused to accept the Chicago
platform and it is able to say that it
gained more subscribers than it lost
during that eventful period.
Among it's many friends, The Lead
er wishes to thank Mrs. F. A. Olds, it's
able and faithful Raleigh correspond
ent, who did much to make the Leader
what it was"
AS stated in the above announce
ment, the subscription list of The
Leader has been transferred to the
twice a week Messenger. This will add
several hundred names to the already
large circulation of that edition of The
Messenger, which it gTatifies us to state
has been well received and highly ap-
preciated in the wide field of it's cirA
culation. The subscription list has
greatly increased, and is still growing
beyond our most e~xtravagant anticipa-
tons. With the addition of the Lead
er's list and the recent increase of our
w list and a patronage constantly
growing, the twice a week Messenger
er advertisers the best advertising
medium in North Carolina.

The Late Champion.

We rather think that "Pompadour
Jim," as his admirers call him, is the
worse feeling man just now il the
whole country. He has been whipped
and that too by a man for whom he
expressed on all occasions, the utmost
contempt. Perhaps he thinks different
ly about him now and has learned
something also. He has been relegated
to the rear as Sullivan, Dempsy, Kill
rain and others have been and is now
simply a back number He should
have won the fight for he had the best
of it up to the time he was knocked
out blu his overrunning confidence
lost him the battle. 1t is always dan
gerous to underrate your opponent.
And Sullivan has challenged Fitz-
simmons. Should they ever meet it
will simply be smuggling, for their tactics
are the same. hard knocks and more
or less science, a mere question of en-
durance under punishment. But we
don't think they will ever run foul Of
each other, not just now at any rate.
