Tncreased EXPORTS.

Increased ExpOTtS
The exports to each of the continents
except Asia and Oceania show a marked
increase over last year. To Oceania the
apparent decrease Of $S014,O99 is entirely
due to the absence Of the Hawaiian figures
from the export statement Of 1901. To
Asia the reduction of $15,510993 is due In
part to the temporary suspension of ex-
ports to China during the recent period OF
hostilities, and In part to the reduction In
exports of cotton toaJapan as compared
with the abnormal exports In 1900.
The principal changes in the exports by
countries are: A decrease of 600 to
Japan and S., ,0O0. 600 to China, which are
due to the causes above mentioned. The.
exports to Russia in the fiscal year 1901
were 50, 545, ,904 against SIG. 4SS, 40 in 1900.

CREsCEUs' GREAT MILE.
Lowers Worlds TrOttfng Record to
2:O2 3D..

Lowers "OFLd'g TrOttfnH Record to
2:O2 3-4.
Amid the enthusiastic cheers of nearly
ten thousand persons, Cresceus, the worlds
champion trotting stallion. again demon
strated that he is the peer Of all trot-
tiers by trotting mile last evening over
the Glenville track near Cleveland in 2O2E
This establishes new worlds trotting rec
ord, replacing the former worlds record Of
2O3 IA held by The Abbot.
The circumstances connected with this
remarkable performance were anything but
conducive to fast time. Owing to the
heavy rains Of Thursday night, the track
was not in the best of condition, and it
was about $50 O'Clock pm before it was
deemed to be In sufficiently good shape to
warrant making the attempt. At that time
the suns heat had been replaced by cool
breeZes.
There were but few hOrsemen that looked
for mile better than 2.05. After having
been given several preliminary miles, Geo.
Ketchum came out with the stallion to at
tempt what seemed an impossible feat.
Ketchum nodded for the word on the third
score, the horse trotting like a machine.
Accompanied by runner, the chestnut
stallion fairly flew to the quarter, the
timers watches registering just thirty Sec
onds. AS Cresceus swung into the back
stretch he was joined by a second runner,
and although many predicted that the foot
ing was such would retard his speed, he
reached the half In 1.O1. AS this time was
hung out, the immense crowd broke out
into cheers. and 1t was evident that the
mile would be fast one
The three-quarter- pole was reached In
I31A. When the great stallion trotted into
the stretch, a runner on either sde his
frictionless machine-like stride was fairly
eating up the distance.
Never once faltering. notwithstanding the
terrific clip, he fairly few to the wire, be-
ing sustained only by his indomitable cour-
age. He was not touched once by the
whip, his sole urging being the drivers
voice and the hoof beats Of the accom-
panying runners.
AS the time for the mile was announced
2.02A-aud the immense crowd realized that
a new worlds record had been established,
Ktchum and his favorite stallion were
h 8endered an ovation such as Is but seldom
Witnessed on a race track. Thousands of
enthusiastic people rushed out on the track
and Ketehum was lifted from the sulkey
and carried to the grand stand on the
shoulders of his admirers. Cheer after
cheer rent the air. and the name of Cres-
ceus was upon the hps Of every one pres
ent-
Cresceus now not only holds the worlds
trotting record for both sexes, but last
week at the Detroit grand circuit meeting
by trotting In 2OGA and 2.Oo In his race
against Charley Herr, secured the worlds
record for the two fastest heats ever trot-
ted in race, his second mile in 2.U5 also
being a new worlds record for the fastest
mile ever trotted in a race
