CRESCEUS FAILED
In His Effort mt Narrssansett Park
Yesterday to Lower the Worlds
TrOtting Record.


PROVIDENCE, r. l., Angst 30
Cresceus failed to lower the worlds
trotting record in his start against
time at ~Narraganett Park this after
noon His time was 2:05 fiat. The at
tempt to break the record was not made
until after 6 o'clock when the wind had
died down. The track was smoothed
over and was in the best of shape
for the champions footing. He scored
down once but did not get the word.
The second time Ketcnam nodded for
the word, but Cresceus went off hts
feet in the stretch and he came down
once more. A runner followed and a
hundred watches were snapped or the
great chestnut stallion as he shot I'M
der the wire. He got to the quarter
in 31h seconds where a second runner
joined and took up a position a length
behind the first. The half was reach
ed in 1924 and the three-quarters In
1884, and hope of breaking the rec
or. was gone, but Cresceus came home
strong between the two runners max
ing the last quarter in 30k seconds and
the mile in POS fiat.
WI Ting Fang, the Chinese minister,
saw the great mile from the Judges
stand and he was an interested and en-
thusiastie spectator at the races which
he witnessed from a box where he was
the guest of DR.. J. F. Sullivan, of this
city. There was a good card of events
and a crowd of people making the last
day a huge success and bringing a 10
table meeting to a close.
Dan Patch, the unbeaten son Of Joe
Patchen, took the first race, the 2:08
pace in straight heats, and Mazette
forced him to make the first in 2:041a
but the next two were easier. 1t took
seven heats to settle the 2:14 trot.
Coxey was the favorite, but did not win
a heat until the fifth and the next two
gave him the race. Prince of India
took the first two. Charlie Nc, the
third, and. Niger Jack, the fourth,
splitting up the most interesting event
of the week. Frazier landed the 2:20
pace in three straight heats, and won
with ease. Fourth money was divided
between Tommy Nc, The Judge and
Fred H.
