IN THE ATTEMPT
Star Pointer Goes Against His
Own Record of 1:5o IA.
THE PACE WAS TERRIFIC
Best the Great Performer Could Do Was
to Come Within Half a Second
OF His Record IN
Other Events.

Rcadville. Mass, Sept. lon the same
track on which he made the record time
last year. 1854, Star Pointer to-day
again tried for a worlds record of a
mile in harness, but failed to equal his
performance by half a second.
The enormous crowd saw a mile ia
less than two minutes and it is safe to
say that with slightly different condi-
lions the record would have again been
broken. With a running mate, Pointer
made the quarter in :29l9, which gave
encouragement. and with the half in 80.
II looked as If he would do something.
The terrific pace was kept up to the
three-quarters pole, which was reached
in 1:2Sh, and then came the question
Of endurance. The horse was urged all
through the homestretch. but he did not
quite reach the wire in time.
The 2:05 pace, after Pointer. was the
great attraction of the afternoon, with
fine racing in the five heats. Little
Bumps fought gamely in three of them,
but each time the son of Baron Wilkes
was caught at the wire, the first time by
Roam Wilkes, the second by Planet and
the third by Frank Bogash, the latter
finally taking the race. Bumps had to
be satisfied with fourth money. Che
halls was tho favorite at the beginning
OF the race, but Frank Bogash carried
him off his feet in the second heat and
came near doing IL again the third
heat. Anaconda did not appear, much
to the disappointment of the talent.
The 2:15 pace was easy for Egozen
after the first heat, although Flirt and
Hal Wilkes were well up in the third
and fourth heats. Macmillan ran away
with Geers after the first heat, making
the circuit Of the track three times and
throwing the veteran over the fence.
Fortunately Geers escaped witt a few
bruises.
The 1928 trot brought out a dark horse
in George, who not only faced the start
er for the first time, but took all three
heats in h easiest possible amer.
The unfinished Massachusetts stake was
finally won by Grattan Boy.
During the afternoon Joe Patchen and
Chehalis were matched for a race at
I4igby during tho grand circuit meet
for a purse OF $4,000.
Results: In the 2:14 trot, the Massa-

HE GOT EVEN
111s Customer Beat Him ut the Start,
But He Got Back ut Him

There is an old retired merchant in De-

the lower peninsula.
II used to reap harvest when the men
were coming out Of the woods he re-
lates. They were not up in styles, and
about any old thing would suit them pro-
v1deo the color was right and the fit even
passable-, But there were tricksters among
them and I had to have my wits about
me in order to keep even with them.
how much is this hat? asked strap
ping six-footer who arrived from camp
one day with pocket full of money.
1.-Two fifty, I replied
Then he informed me that he always
had the crowns Of his hats punched full
OF holes in order to keep his head cool, and
bis hair from coming out. / soon had this
attended to, and then he asked what the
hat was worth. Two fifty, l responded,
in surprise, but he laughed at me for asking
such price for damaged goods. He had me
and got his hat for a dollar while the jolly
crowd with him had laugh at my expense
He wanted to look at some *fddles,' and
after pricing one at $40 concluded to take it
Where's the bow?' he asked, as 1 was
dong up the package:
You only bought the fiddle laughed
The others saw the point and laughed, too
The giant tried to bluff me, but l kept good
humored and got even on the hat by charg
ing him $l.50 for the bow. I not only got
even, but the others were so pleased with
my Yankee trick that they spent plenty
OF money with me."-Detroit Free Press.

II was thinking" said the man who had
Just given deep sigh, ''of the departed days
Of youth
''Ah, yes" answered his companion, as he
stroked his downy mustache; youth is the
springtime of Life; the period when all our
ideals are undimmed'
1T is, it is. 1t is the time when the
blossoms are fresh and fair, with no sus-
picion Of the blight which may come to harm
the fruit
II suppose that when man gets lit
tie along IN years, say-er-like yourself,
he'd give great deal if he could only turn
the clock back a decade or so.''
He would. There's no use denying it;
he would. He can't help feeling gloomy
over what he has lost; those days when
he, thought that he could give Bismarck
points on craftsmanship, if he'd only take
the trouble to study little; when he was
certain he'd be able to give Rubinstein mu-
sic lessons, if he decided to turn his atten-
ton to the piano; when he didn't entertain
the slightest doubt of his ability to show
Booth where his reading of Shakespeare
might be improved, and when he looked up
at night and saw sky that teemed with un-
discovered planets, waiting for him to turn
astronomer. He may have more sense when
he gets older and not annoy the neighbors
so much; but d 'no's it's worth what he has
given up."-Wa shington Star.
