PROVIDENCE, r. l., Aug. 27.--The
climax of sensational pacing races was
reached in the great Park Brew ten
thousand dollar stake at Narragan-
sett park. Ed Geers piloted Direct Hal
to victory in three straight heats, but
the black stations record was lowered
from 2:O6 fiat to 2:O4A. The second
heat was the pace that kills. Scott
Hudson made a rush down the stretch
with Twinkle and would lave beaten
anybody but Geers. 1t was such
drive home that Twinkle went off her
feet and broke almost under the wire,
while Direct Hal won in 2:O4M. The
last half was paced in 1:01 fiat, with
the last quarter in 30 seconds. Twelve
thousand people witnessed the race,
and they went wild with enthusiasm.

II hardly think my wife sees the

she has an idea that I was deliberately
trying to create a false impression, to
which 1 plead guilty.
"One night last week I thought
heard some one prowling about the
house, and as there have been a num-
ber OF houses broken into lately I con-
cluded that the noise was made by
burglars. AS l sat up in bed listening,
l CHANGED to glance into the next
room, the door of our bedroom being
open, and there stood sure-enough
burglar coolly examining our silver
ware. With this startling discovery
came the chilling thought that hadn't
such thing as firearm in the house.
But 1 determined to run a bluff, so
turning to my wife l said in a loud
voice:

equally as loud, there isn't such a
