Patch, the famous PAGER. driven by NC

world s mark of i 80 Ii for one mile at
the trotting park this afternoon. ne
champion got away after scoring once:
accompanied by a runner, and stepped
the first quarter in 20 S-4. Up the back
stretch he moved like machine, and the
half was passed in 80 IL. His time at
the three-quarters 1:30 IL, was d1sap-
pointing. Turning into the stretch NC
Henry urged the paceIon. but Dan fa ru;
tired perceptibly, and the wire was
reached in 2:0i nat. It 0as SAID tnat inc
condition of the track on the nack-stretcn
was not desirable for the attempt. dno
Dan Patch will probably make another

ENGLAND'S NAVAL PLANS
The Construction of the Cunarders and
Other Expenditures.
(By Associated Pres:


LIVERPOOL, October 24-A1r. Arnold
Forster, field secretary to the Admiralty,
was the guest of honor tonight at the
Conservative Clubs dinner. In an ad-
dress he outlined the Admiralty's pro-
sra,nme. Mr.. Arnold-Forster said he re-
carded the agreement between the gov
ernnent and the Cunard Steamship Com
pany as payment of value received for
protection in time of war, and that the
proposed Cunard steamers We're intended
10 possess special qualities not obtainable
on a purely commercial basis of agree
ment.
Continuing. Mr.. Arnold-Foster said the
Admiralty is att present extending the
principle Of employing private enterprise
in shipbuilding. Flfty-seven ships. which
are not considered effective, are to be
stricken from the navy list, and the arma-
mcnts of some of the existing ships are
to be doubled. The construction Of sub
marine vessels is to be taken up with
energy The most powerful squadron OF
cruisers which has ever sailed the seas
is about to be commissioned, said Mr..
Arnold-Forster, and even in the absence
Of the Channel fleet Great Britain would
have powerful protection.
