WON BY BONNIE DIRECT
JOHNNY AGAN GOT TWO HEATS ONLY
OF THE 2,13 PACE.
Close of the Grand Circuit Meeting
other Trotting, Pacing and
Running Races.

COLUMBUS, o., Aug. 1.-The Grand Cir
cult meeting which closed to-day has been
the most successful held under the auspices
of the Columbus Driving Park Association.
The weather throughout the week has been
fine, the attendance has been large and the
racing unusually good. The track was very
fast to-day. The Admiral. prohibitive ia
vorite on account of his showing in the 2:1s
pace, won the 2:19 pace to-day in straight
heats. He was never pushed. and the only
contest was between Braden and Daisy j.
for place.
Lord Derby. with Geers up. was favorite
in the 2:27 trot and would have won in
straight heats but he acted badly. Geers
drove TO win. every heat. but pushed the
gelding too fast in the second and fourth
and drove him off his feet. narrowly escap-
ing the distance flag.
The 2:13 pace was the best race of the
day. There were six starters. with Bonnie
Direct a strong favorite and Johnny Agan
a good second choice. Bonnie Direct is a
game four-year-old, and her sensational
performance to-day was due largely to the
driving of McHenry. Previous to the Cleve-
land meeting the colt had not gone a mile
in better than 2:10. At Cleveland he went
mile in 2:O9A. Bonnie Direct and Johnny
Agan were the contending horses in every
heat In the first the favorite forced
Johnny Agan to go the mile in the fast
time OF 2:05i4. Bonnie Direct broke in the
second heat and Agan took IL in slow time.
The next three heats the favorite trotted
without a skip, and. though pushed by
Agan. won each heat easily and had speed
TO spare
The Columbus association will give a
meeting Sept IA TO u, the open week in the
Grand Circuit. The summaries.

HEDRICK, Ia, Aug. 3.-The closing day

M'KINLEY AND THE PHILIPPINES.

Springfield, Mass, Republican.
If the Philadelphia platform leaves
the matter of our permanent possession
of the islands in doubt, this speech of
the President clears up all doubts as to
where the administration stands and
will stand il reelected. 1.-THE Philip.
pines are ours" be says, land there
will be no abatement of our rights, no
abandonment of our duty" Again,
there will be no turning aside, no
wavering, no retreat. =" The OBJ
structionists are here, he says, and
while they may postpone they cannot
defeat the realization of the high pur-
pose of this nation to restore order to
the islands and to establish a just and
generous government, in which the
inhabitants shall have the largest
participation Of which they are
capable. Anything there squirting
at ultimate Independence? Not line,
not word that can be stretched or
tortured into conveying any such mean
ing. We are there to stay, says the
President in effect, and all the govern
ment tho natives will ever get will be
participating share in our govern
ment of them-their fractional part to
| be determined by ourselves.
And then the Chief Magistrate of the
United States has the supreme GOODNESS
to call this liberation of them from
the yoke of Imperialism if SPAN
ever imposed upon them greater taxes
and greater military establishment
and more unquestioned absolutism
than We are imposing or as II Spain
never pursued exactly the same course
Mr.. Mckinley is pursuing of granting
such share in the government to the
Filipinos as she lSpasn) deemed them
capable of exercising The extreme
GOODNESS Of this is, however, nearly
equaled by the further statement that
the islands have BEEN delivered from
anarchy, pillage," go. when the
President knows that chaos and wild
disorder rule pretty much everywhere,
SO that it is not safe for an American
to venture a mile beyond the lines OF
the army, and scarcely any troops car
be spared from force OF 63, 600 mer
for the extreme exigency arisen in
China. This is 'deliverance from
anarchy" with vengeance. The fao
is that anarchy began only when Mr.
Mckinley attacked the promising native
government with his proclamation O
December oath, 1898, and succeeded il
crushing it.

WHEAT EXPERIMENTS.
Loss in Harvesting Before the Grain is
FulIy Ripe.

Loss in Harvesting Before the Grain is
Fully Ripe.
Easton, Nd, July 19.-Dr. Charles
Lownoes Of Suhnyside, Miles River
Neck, has made some interesting ex-
periments in wheat harvesting designed
to show the loss incurred by cutting
wheat before it is fully ripe. The
wheat experimental with was planted
OH the 10th of October on stiff white
oak land and seeded bushel and a
half to the acie. At harvest time DIR.
Lowndes took three samples Of five
heads each, all the heads having the
same number of bars and of grains In
each bar. No. was taken when the
grain was in the milky state, No. 3
when in the dougby state and No.
when the grain was fully ripe.
Three days INTERVIEWED between the
taking of each sample. All the samples
were kept in the same place and sub
jected tc the same conditions of tenn
perature and moisture. The wheat was
rubbed out by hand. Each sample was
carefully weighed on druggists pre-
scription scales. No. weighed IS
grains, No. 2 60 grains and No. 3 as
grains. No. was dark, shriveled and
unsightly; No. 3 was better, but of
color, and the grains were not plump
No. 3 was perfect in condition and
color. This shows loss of over Is Per
cent 10 harvesting wheat when the
grains are in the doughty state. Why
the milky state grains weighed more
than those in the doughy state is an un-
| answered question.

CAPTAIN GORDON IN ACTIVE SERVICE


Led Two Companies in a Long and Ardu-
Gus March on yalderrama.
The American, Mani q newspaper,
Of May Both, gives an account OF the
success OF the United States troops at
Valdarrama, where Capt. Walter II.
Gordon showed great prowess. Capt.
Gordon will be remembered as colonel
of the First Delaware Regiment, United
States Volunteers, after the resignation
of Col. l. Pusey Wickershan.
According to The American Cos. II
and II of the Eighteenth infantry left
their quarters 10 Iloilo on the afternoon
of May 9th, going to Migan, Panay
Island, by steamer. Capt. Gordon was
in command. Hard marching over the
mountains was experienced. At
Sibalon, Capt Gordon found COM
pany of the Nineteenth Infantry wait
ing for him with train of pack mules
loaded with eight days rations. On
May 9th, Capt. Gordon's scouting party
reached San Raminao and resumed the
march that night. The trail was q
wretched one and the mules slipped and
fell frequently. One mule took slide
of about 600 feet. On the night of May
10th the scouts approached barrio
that had been strongly fortified by the
insurrectos. The insurgents were at
home, but the watch was fast asleep.
Before they knew any one was near,
Capt. Gordon and his men had got
through the barricade. The insurrectos
in the barrio did not stop to fight, but
rushed off in the darkness as fast as
they could.
At sun down, Capt. Gordon again
started out and the scouts captured
some insurgent "lookouts. After a
hard climb up steep ridge and rapid
descent ON the other side, the scouts
MAI ched up the river and at midnight,
when II miles of impossible" trail
had been covered, the troops arrived in
front OF the town of Valderrama.
Every one in town seemed to te asleep
but one insurgcnt sentinel, who ran out
of house and gave the alarm. The
crack Of Krag Jorgenson cut him
short and then the firing commenced ia
earnest. Capt. Gordon led his men
| through the town towards the church.
| The main force Of the insurgents occu-
pied the house of the Padre next to the
church. When it became too hot to re-
main in the house, the insurgents tried
to dash across the rice fields to safety.
Some got away but others did not.
Thirty-six insurgents were killed and
about 90 wounded. Capt. Gordon cap.
tured the insuIgeut pack train, several
hundred bags of rice, with some rides
and ammunition.
Later at Bugason, the insurgents fed
before the Americans and returned to
attack them, but were driven away.
Capt Gordon and his men attacked the
Insurgents at barrios a few miles away
and killed u and wounded five. Three
barrios we're burned. Or May 10th
Cos. e and II were back 10 the quarters
in Iloilo. They had marched over
roads never before travelled by white
men.

CROPS IN CHESTER COUNTY.


Good Reports Made Concerning all Fro
ducts OF Husbandry.
The farmers OF Chester county have
great reason to congratulate themselves
this year, because of their having the
best crops of any season in long term
Of years. In fact, it is doubtful IL the
home tillers OF the soil can ever recall
a year when all kinds of crops have
been SO prolific, without exception, as
this year. gs
The hay crop has been good, the
wheat crop, which is now all harvested,
has been above the average. In the
southern part of the county the yield
has averaged from % to 40 bushels per
acre. tARE 'Hi "9'
The oats crop, which is now being
cut and stored, is a very good one. Az
| a result Of copious rains at frequent
intervals, the pasture lands have been
keeping fresh and green.
The crops of the garden and truck
| patch have been growing splendidly
and the receipts of the market gardener
will be far above the mark of average
years.
The corn crop throughout is looking
we'll, and the rich green color of thu
| growing crop indicates the very best Of
prospects for big yield of the COLDER
grain. Berries of all kinds have beer
| plentiful all through the season, and {
glance at the orchards and small frui
trees will suffice to predict large crol
of apples, pears and other products o
the orchard.
The potato crop, one of the most i'm
portant productions on the Cheste
county farms, bid fair to be very pro
life this season.

Special Correspondence OF Gazette and Journa

special Correspondence OF Gazette ana journal.
Newark, July 20.--E. B. Staggers,
Jr., owner Of Clearyiew farm, finished
threshing his wheat on Tuesday, and
the result was nearly 1900 bushels
from AS acres, an average Of 30 bushels
per acre. From l5-acre strip fronting
the main road, he had the large yield
OF 40 bushels per acre.
The straw crop is very large; and
from his 95 acres of grass, there will
be we'll on to 140 tons of hay.
The corn is. doing remarkably, and is
amoug the largest and finest in this
section. ~
MIR. 'Staggers is fortunate in having
the services of James L. Stewart as
superintendent; both he and his son
Johr are up-to-date men, and the re-
suit is that in the two seasons they
have farmed for Mr.. Sta2gers they have
raised the standard of the farm even
higher than it stood before, and it now
ranks as one of the finest and most
productive in Delaware. The farm con-
tains 2l2 acres, and is situated right at
the p, W. & B. railroad station, the
north side facing the railroad for about
half q mile. The dwellings and farm
buildings are all in the finest order,
and the whole place is model in every
way. Everything shows to what per-
| lection farm can BIZ brought by the
| joint management Of owner and super
| intendent when properly exercised.

Three young men from this city,
whose names could not be learned,
were thrown into the Delaware River
near the mouth Of the Christiana about
9. 80 o'clock last Eight week. They bad
Eeen out smiling during the afternoon
and were returning when the boat cap
sized. The steamer Ulrica was passing
about this time and the captain, seeing
the accident turned the boat toward
the urturned skitf. The men held to
the side of their boat until the Ulrica
was alongside when two who were
fatigued we're taken on board, The
other. an expert swimmer, gathered UP
their belongings, which we're scattered
here and there on the water.
The Ulrioa was on hnr last trip to
Penn's Grove, SO that there was only
one way for the young men to reach
Wilmington. This was by the truck
steamer Roy, commanded by Capt.
Elkinton, which comes over about that
time. The upturned skiif was righted
and with the drenched lads towed tc
