MAJOR TAYLOR'S RECORD GONE.
McDufie Rides Two Miles
Under Three Minutes
for First Time.

Brockton, Oct. 1O.-Both Eddie >McDuf-
fee and Ben Munroe, the latter from
Memphis, Tenn. broke world records at
the track here today. McDuffee lowered
the time for from one to five miles, and
Munroe from five to twenty-three miles,
inclusive. McDuffee rode his first two
miles in less than three minutes, and his
last mile in 1921 Munroe changed from
his own motor triplet to McDuffee's steam
motor. He finally had to quit, after rid
ing rs miles, as his wheel gave out.
At the McDuffee race there were four
watches held, and the slowest time of the
four is credited to McDuffee. The last
mile was one second faster than the
wonderful performance accredited 70
Major Taylor, made in Chicago. rms
was the first ride of two miles under
three minutes ever made by rider. Nc
Duffees own record of 1;2S was beaten
in three Of the miles and was equalled IN
one of the others. The first quarter of
the last mile was ridden in ID SECONDS,
and others were ridden in 20 seconds.
Special sanction had been secured for
the trial, and s. A. Davidson, the regular
starter at the track, gave the word: +;

for the two miles, making new two
mile record and the nrSt under three mil
utes. The three miles were ridden in 4:23,
and the third mile in 1:25, new record
for a quarter-mile track.
McDuffee at first started to ride two
miles, but called to the officials to keep
his time for five miles. The fourth mile
was done in 1:2S 3-5. The first quarter OF
the final mile was done in IS seconds, and
the third in %; the last in 20 S-5. The

SENATOR FRYE ON REED.
Possible Meaning of the
Speakers Removal to
New York.

A Spy man was among the first to
call on Senator Frye Immediately after
his arrival in Worcester. The sena-
tor was the picture of health, and his
rugged countenance was bronzed by the
hot sun after two or three months of
recreation IN the Maine and Canada
woods. He was in excellent spirits
over the future prospects of the repub-
lican administration. Said he: II have
been doing everything possible to make
up an enjoyable summer vacation, and
have succeeded as ably as at any
other period of my life. l am delight
ed to come to Massachusetts, and assist
in her state campaign. / have been
doing so for many years, and it almost
seemed to me as though Massachusetts
was as much my home as the sister
state of Maine.
What about the removal of Con-
gresham Reed to New York;" he was
asked.
1.-THE removal of Mr.. Reed to New
York is, of course, a matter of very
great regret to the people Of Maine.
He had been honored by them for many
years, and If he were to withdraw per-
manently from politics, the regret
would be as much with the people of
the whole country as with his own
state. But there are those who are
inclined to believe that he does not
mean to cease his political activity. He
was keenly sensitive of the fact that
his chances for the presidency were
slight while he remained a resident of
Maine, and that the only step that
might land him in that office was to re-
move to New York.
"Of course, this does not detract
from the possibilities before him in the
legal profession. His services will be
sought everywhere, and there is nc
question of his success. He reached
that long ago. 1t is possible
that the dominant thought in his mind
in moving to New York was that OF
the presidential possibility"
In conversation with The Spy man.
the senator incidentally remarked that
he never prepared a speech in all OF
his political career. He trusted him
self entirely to the good offices Of the
newspaper men. 1t was his belief that
every newspaper man should under
stand stenographic art, because many
men in public life suffered from inabil-
ity of the reporters to quote their state
ments OF facts and figures.

New Haven, Conn, Oct. N.-Despite the
presence of five coachers on Yale field to-
day, there was but little real work done
at the practice, and that of but brief dura-
ton, as the day was too oppressive. Capt.
Mcbride decided that little light signal
work and some preliminary work IN the
way of learning formations would be sur
ficient for the varsity and college sides.

WORLDS RECORD GONE.
Fastest Half Ever Trotted, by Peter
the Great, and Tommy Britton.

Lexington, KY, Oct 1O.-Today's card
of five races was made notable by the
breaking of one worlds record in the
trotting of a fast half mile over a
rather slow track. 1t was in the first
heat OF the Ashland stake, which was
regarded as a two-horse race between
Tommy Britton and Peter the Great.
In the first heat, Peter the Great and
Tommy Britton showed the greatest
speed ever seen in a public race, when
they trotted head and head the half
mile in 1011a, with the second quarter
in 291s seconds. By many it was con-
sidered that this driving very possibly
lost the race for the two heavy favor
ties. They kept together to the last
eighth, when Britton drew away and
won by length all out, with Peter
also greatly distressed. Britton was
done for, and Bonnatella, who had fin
islied third and fourth in the first two
heats. took the race rather easily. The
stock farm purse was won by Endow
from a good field of youngsters. Ar
lington was an almost even money ia
vorite for the 2:0S pace, but Eyelet, in
hot struggle, took the race from him.
