Hartford, conn, August f. IN acct
dent today married what was expected
would prove to be the greatest trotunS
event in turf history. In tbs third heat
of the $4,000 match race between Lord
Derby. owned by L. +. SmatheIs. II
Now York. and Boralma, Of which Thcs.
W. Lawson, of Boston, is TO the owner,
tho latter horse sustained an injury
which caused him to be drawn and the
race was given to Lord Derby. The re-
suit was a bitter disappointment. not
only to the owner of the Boston horse,
but to the general public, which TO the
number of 10000 congrcgated at Charter
Oak Park. The injury to Boralma is
such that he will probably be prevented
from racing for some time to come. The
Boston horse gashed the quarter Of his
right foreleg badly and was unanblc to
start in the fourth heat.
The Boston horse outstoppcd Lord Der
by from the start. He took possession
of the pole at the first turn and held it
all the way. The horses were about a
length apart until the home stretch was
reached. As they came toward the wire
Lord Derby sWerNed and broke, and 30
ralma came under the wire four lengths
ahead in 2:08. Loud cheering marked
the finish of the heat.
The horse got off promptly for the sec
ond heat and Boralma led until the dis
lance pole was passed. Then Lord Der
by drew up and shot by Boralma. The
Boston horse followed gamcly and raj
ried. but the rally was followed by a
break, and as he crossed the wire he was
two lengths behind Lord Derby. In this
heat Bora1ma showed signs Of lamcncSs.
Time 2:091a.
In the third heat Boralma once more
took the lead at the start, but his ad-
vantage was short lived. He broke at
the first turn and again in the stretch.
AS the racers came toward the wire it
was plainly evident that something Sc
rious had happened to Boralma, for he
went to pieces and Gccrs pulled Lord
Derby in order not to distance his un-
lucky rival and allowed Boralma to
come within a length Of him at the wire.
Time 2:1S IA.
AS soon as the heat was over the an
nOuncer called for a veterinary surgeon,
DR.. G.. II. Lee, of Boston, responded and
found that Boralma had been SO badly
injured that he could race no more to-
day. Consequently, with the consent of
the judges, he was drawn. In order to
fulfill the requirements of. the match,
Lord Derby trotted tho next heat alone
and was then awarded the victory. After
the last heat had been trotted Lord
Derby, accompanied by a runner, trottcd
an exhibition milo in 2:08.
John Roach, Mr.. Lawson's representa-
tive. said that the injury to Boralma
would undoubtedly prevent the race be
tween the Boston horse and The Abbott
at Charter Oak Park on August Goth.

WILL BE SOLID FOB ROOSEVELT.
So Declares Platt of New York's Delegation to
Republican Convention.
(By the Associated Press.)

Oyster Pay, n. y, July 30.-tPresident
Roosevelt will nave a solid delegation
from Now York State to the next Rcpub-
lican National Convention"
This statement was made this after
noon by Senator Thomas G. Plat, of
New York. after a conference with the
President at Sycamore Hill.
Senator Plat was accompanied to Mr..
ROoscvelt's country home by Colonel
George w. Dunn, of Binghamton, chair
man of the Republican State Committee
of New York. The visit to the President
was by appointment. During the two
hours conference which cnsued both Ma
tional and New York State politics were
discussed, the discussion quite naturally
revolving principally around State af-
fairs. Senator Plat briefly but compre-
hensiyely reviewed the political situation
in both the National and State fields. He
already had declared himself to be a
supporter of Mr.. Roosevelt for the -PrcSi-
dential nomination III 1904 and he OK
pressed the opinion that barring serious
contingencies, the President would be
nominated to succeed himself. 1t was in
this connection that he made the state
mcnt which is quoted at the beginning
of this dispatch. Mi. Platt assured Mr..
Roosevelt that perfect harmony existed
among the leaders and among the rank
and file OF the Republican party in New
York and that without doubt the entire
Republican ticket would be elected this
fall.
Senator Plat said that Governor Odcll
would be r~e-nominated and reelected.

CHILD LABOR IN NILS

During the last session Of the General
Assembly, the attorney of the cotton
mills presented a paper signed by nearly
all the cotton mill managers in the State
promising not to employ children under
twelve years of age in their mills. We
kept their promise, though Mr.. Warner
says that some have not. The Labor Com
missioner should be able before the next
legislature meets to give the exact fig
ures, showing the age of all the en-
ployes under twenty-one in the cotton
mills.
There Is much interest manifested in
the question of child labor. A recent
issue Of the Atlanta journal says:
In Alabama, as in several other South
ern States, the question of child labor in
cotton mills is causing much discussion.
4 committee which has organized a
movement whose object it is to secure
legislation on this question has recently
published a pamphlet entitled The Case
Against Child Labor written by Rev.
Edgar Gardner Murphy, the committees
1idi Hail.. ACCORDING 10 Ills ISuTCS the
number OF children employed in Southern
cotton mills increased 1903 per cent dur
ing the decade ending in 1880, and 1Os.5
Per cent between 1880 and 1890. Between
1890 and 1900 the increase was no less
than 210.7 per cent. OF the 1904 textile
operatives in North Carolina. 1896 are
under IA years of age, while the average
wage of the child has decreased from 80
to - cents per day in that State. In
some places in the South the daily wage
is as low as Q cents a day for II hours
of work. 1t is estimated that there are
at least $4,000 children in Southern cot
ton mills, of whom between 1900 and TO-
600 are under IL years of age.
"a fact which has provoked much com
ment is that the mills having the largest
proportion OF very young children at WORK
are owned and directed by Northern mer
who come from States which have strict
laws against tho employment Of child la.
Dor in mills. They seem determined tc
make the most of their opportunities
whore no limitations upon child labor
have been established"
We doubt the correctness Of some o
under twelve years of age working il
cotton mills of the South, it is a con.
dition that ought not to continue a day
II North Carolina there are very few
under twelve, and there ought not to b
q single one. No parent should be per
mitted to live upon the toll OF his babie
