THE Two-MINuTE CLASS.

The two-minute pacing class is now
an established institution, for two
competitors in this class are now billed
for race. Dan Patch, who paced a
mile in 2:00A at ReadviHe, Mass, last
last Saturday, will race with Prince
Alert, who made a record of 2:0DA at
Memphis last October; the race to
come off at the Empire City track on
Sept. 16.
Only once has the minute rec
ord been broken by horse in harness,
and that was by Star Pointer against
time on the Readville track in 1897;
the time being 1:59A. The present
season, however, promises to lower
two minutes again. Dan Patch made
2:O0A last Saturday under disadvan-
tages, and except for an accident
would have gone under the wire in less
than two minutes in another heat.
The lowest record made in a race
is 2:00h, made by Star Pointer at
Springfield, ILL.,, in 1897. The coming
race of the two-minute PAGERS on Sept.
~ AAA~~I ANWOA bllcaI 1SCOIQ. SLdT HOlnC-
er in his race at Springfield five years
ago did not have the competition nor
the inspiration that lie before Dan
Patch and Prince Alert to make a low
record at New York on Sept 16.
The trotters are only two seconds
behind the record of the PAGERS. and
1T is only matter of a few months
or year, no doubt, when two min
utes Will be reached in a trotting ex-
hlb1tlon or race. Cresceus last wear
trotted against time at Columbus in
2:o2A, and in race on the New York
track made the mile in 2:O3A; and
The Abbott likewise made the latter
time two years ago.
The science of training and breeding
seems to be able to hold it's own with
science and invention in the mechan-
ic arts in the matter Of lowering
time and space consuming records;
and 1902 will go ON record as the year
which produced the two-minute class
in harness horses.

ANOTHER TEST,

The announcement is made from
London that the premier of New
Foundland is on his way to Washing
ton with full power from the imperial
government to reopen the negotiations
for what is known as the Blaine
convention. 1t is further declared that
Premier Bond is in favor of free trade
with the United States.
This announcement coming on the
heels of the adjournment without re-
suits of the colonial. conference in
London possesses great Importance to
the people of this country. It is well
known that the people of Newfound-
land have at all times opposed any
political union with Canada and have
been in favor throughout of the closest
relations, both commercial and polit-
fcal, with the United States of Amer
lea The Bond-Blaine treaty is in ef-
feet an agreement for reciprocity in
trade between the two countries. IT
was an outcome of the efforts of the
late James G. Blaine to promote reci-
proeity between the governments of
American countries.
Considering the present recognized
attitude Of our national administration
on the subject of our pro-
hibitive tariff and the deter
mined purpose of that admin
istration to discountenance reciprocal
trade arrangements, the RESUMPTION of
the negotiations at this time bv New
foundland strikes one as somewhat
surprising. The so-called reciprocity
arrangement with Cuba, even though
1t has thus far come to naught is q
mere makeshift. The urgency of the
president on it's behalf has been basad
entirely on what is designated DIR
duty to Cuba. Its adoption or reiec-
ulon cannot be regarded as materially
affecting the general question as 70
whether the United States will submit
to any reduction in its present tariff
schedules even for the promotion of
reciprocity in trade.
The submission by NewfoundIsnd =.
the old Blaine proposal will apply an
other test to the sincerity of Renub-
lican professions in the past in favor
of freer trade with foreign nations
through reciprocal tariff reductions
The treaties now pending in the
senate have remained Enacted
upon from no cause whatever
save the powerful adverse in
fuence of protected interests. II

Mr.. DAutremont, who will contest Capt.
