RECORD. BREAKING YEAR
NEW MARKS HAVE BEEN MADE AND
MORE ARE TO FOLLOW.
Finishing Touches of the Season May
Come mt the Memphis Meeting
The New Records Made.

More harness horse records have been
broken this year than In the history of rae
ing and yet the real record breaking season
is to come. 1t is at Memphis that horse
men expect to see the record smashing
business given its finishing touches for this
year. Horses are in better condition at
that time of the year. it seems, to go their
fastest mile and, judging from perform
ances SO far this season, it would not be
surprising to see more records lowered
When Dan Patch brought the pacing record
down to 1853 horsemen declared that that
mark would do for the PAGERS this year.
When Lou Dillon trotted a mile in 200
fiat 1t was believed for awhile that the
trotting queens record would not even be
challenged. But Major Delmar equaled
the record last Friday. 1t is now be-
lieved that both Lou Dillon and Major
Delmar will lower their records before
the close Of the season, while many other
prominent trotters and PAGERS will go to
winter quarters with better marks than
they now possess.
The reduction of worlds records this sea-
son by harness horses has been little less
than astounding, and they have followed
SO fast upon each other as to furnish ground
for added wonder. In brief they are as fol-
lows:
Lou Dillon reduced the trotting record
to 200.
Major Delmar lowered his own record and
tied Lou Dillon's by trotting a mile in 200.
Dan Patch reduced the record for PAGERS
to 1:5s ard the record for PAGERS on a half
mile track to 2:N.
Prince Alert clipped a quarter of second
from the record of Dan Patch so that the
half-mile track record for PAGERS is now
2:03A.
Prince Alert added new laurels and the
honor OF being the pacing king by reduc-
ing Dan Patch's mile record to 1:57, clipping
just two second off the former champions
mark. The first three-quarters of Prince
Alert's record mile were made at a 1:55
gait.
The Monk and Equity, driven by Mr.. Bill
ings, reduced the record for trotters in
double harness from 2:12A to 2:09A.
Sadie Nc reduced the record for
three-year-old trotting FLIES in a race to
2:11h.
Fannie billiard lowered the worlds pacing
record for mares to 2:0SA.
Lou Dillon reduced the high-wheel sulky
record to 2:O5.
OF course Lou Dillon and Major Delmar
have had the center Of the stage in the
no other trotters like them have been
seen since the history of harness racing
began. Prince Alert and Dan Patch have
has surely teen great record breaking
season, and to think of it, more new
records are likely to be made.

The question of accepting Prince Alert's
mile in 1857 as a record has been raised by
Mr.. Savage. owner Of Dan Patch. Horse
men claim that such records made behind
wind shields should not count against the
marks that are made without the shields.
The current number Of the illustrated
Sporting News has the following to say re-
garding records made with the aid Of pace
makers:
About the weakest attempt to 'bamboozle'
the public that has come to light recently
was the driving Of Lou Dillon a mile to
high-wheeled sulky in 2:05 behind a wind
shielded cart. Happily, the public is be-
coming wiser all the time, and he Is a
genius who can fool even a small fraction
OF the sporting section part Of the time.
When c. K. G.. Billings and Driver Willard
F. Sanders smilingly accepted few spon-
taneous CONGRATULATIONS on the dethrone-
ment OF Maud s. they knew-and so did
the congratulators, on second thought-that
the late daughter Of Harold still headed the
list.
"a generous amount Of credit is due Lou
Dillon, Major Delmar, Dan Patch and
Prince Alert for their recent remarkable
performances against time; but thoughtful
horsemen are faltering bit in giving their
applause, and wondering whether the miles
heralded are so remarkable after all. BIZ
cycle riders will tell you that being paced,
either In race or In an effort against time,
gives them an advantage OF many seconds:
just how many ii Is hard to compute. Dur
ing the present summer wind shield on

ahead of a horse going against time. The

The trOtter or PAGER was steadier; he or
she went faster, and inroads on records

why not train Lou Dillon, Major Delmar
or Dan Patch to follow an automobile? Here

more suction, and it is possible that before

trainers Of the several champions would
have to do would be to accustom their
charges to gasoline smells and thresherlike
noises. These obstacles overcome, there Is
no telling how far the trottng and pacing
records would be lowered.

the past IL months it produced about
abilhon cigars AS the total production
Of the country is approximately 7OOo'-

however, and the production OF the

Just about the increase for the year,
SO that the new enterprise has not in
terfered seriously with the indepcn-
dent manufacturers, says Leshe's
Monthly.
The enormous extent Of the tobacco
business in America may be realized
from the fact that z ZOO, 900, 900 cigars,
1900, OOO,o cigarettes, and 2s0,0O0,00O
pounds of manufactured tobacco and
1900, 900 pounds Of snuff are produced

TO RUN ON SEAS BOTTOM.
Officers OF United states Navy to See
Test of New Submarine Tor
pedO Boat.

The submarine torpedo boat Pro-
tector, n new type of vessel which
will shortly be put through series
of trials for the purpose of demon
strating her capabilities to officers
Of the United States navy, Is being
oycrhauled at City island and put in
first-class condition for the coming
tests. The Protector was built in
Bridgeport, Conn, by her inventor
and owner, Capt. Simon Lake.
The vessel is designed for harbor
defense. She is 60 feet long, of IL
feet beam, draws II feet of water
and weighs about 200 tons. She is
built Of steel and equipped with two
wheels to enable her to travel along
the bottom of the sea. Her motive
power is electricity when submerged
and gasoline when cruising awash.
There arc two torpedo tubes, one
fore and one aft, and an opening in
her bow will admit of a diver leav-
inc the boat to cut cables or mine
connections. Her builder believes
she can destroy submarine defenses
in any harbor. During recent trials
she carried crew of eight men and
nine passengers. A speed OF IL knots
was easily made on her surface run.

DIsLIKES MISSIONARIES.
King Menelek would manner

King Menelek, the native ruler OF
.hvseinia never fancied Christianity
or those who endeavor to propagate II.
savs an exchange. He is of the opinion
that the orthodox faith is good enough
for his subjects, and therefore those
who go thither with the object OF
spreading the doctrines OF the Roman
Catholic or Protests church think II
advisable to say that their sole object
Is to convert Hebrews and pagans.
This was what a Swedish missionary
recently said when Menelek, before
whom he was summoned, inquired as
to the object Of his visit. When ne
heard IL the ruler asked:
"What countries were you obliged to
cross In order TO come here"
Germany, Egypt and the Soudan,'
replied the missionary.
"And were you not able TO find in
Germany any Hebrews whom you
might have converted?" asked Meme
lex.
The missionary was obliged TO admit
that he had seen many Hebrews in Ger
many.
"Wen," said Menelek, first convert
the Hebrews and pagans in Germany
and then come here and convert Ms"
An hour later the disappointed mis-
sionary was being conducted to the

WARNING OF SEISMIC MOTION.
Prof. Lipmnn, French savnnt, IN
vents II system for signaling
Earthquakes.

A method by which warning OF earth
quakcs may be signaled by the com
bincd use of the seismograph and the
telegraph was explained 10y Prof. Lip
man at the recent meeting OF the Acad-
envy Of Sciences.
The elasticity of the earth's surface
is such that the slightest seismic shock
may be transmitted TO the farthest end
Of the world. Prof. Lipman would take
advantage Of this to unite all the OBJ
seryatories having chronological in
struments by telegraph wires so dis
posed that when the first seismic i'm
preston should be received as usual
after an earthquake all the other ap-
paratus connected would signal the
earthquakes approach, for the electric
fluid moves more quickly than seismic
waves.

that the memory Of the Chelsea phi
