SAM r. MYERS.

cient and if elected will no dou BIT fill
the Office creditably. He respectfully
solistios the consideration of thepeople,

The West Point Times claims that
when Mr.. Vardaman was in the Leg
islature he voted for appropriations
TO two nergo colleges. 1t is quite a
coincidence that all the candidates for
governor have legislative records
and each will have a good opportuni-
ty to compare his own record with
that of his opponents; or perhaps it
might be better for all of them to
agree among themselves to let the re-
cords lay on the table, or be indeh-
nitely postponed.

DAN PATCH MAKES FAILURE.
Could Not Come Within Less Than Is
 Second of His Record.

Columbus, O., September 23-Ten thous- and people witnessed the Grand circuit races at the Columbus Driving park to- day. The special attraction was Dan Patch's race against time to beat his record of 1:59. The track was fast and weather conditions were almost perfect, but the best the pacer could do was 1:59ls.
 The 20S pace was the sensational race of the day. Nervolo was favorite, sell ing at 50 to 12 against the field before the start. There was a close finish in the first heat between Nervolo and Winfield Stratton and when the judges announced the formed had won. there was protest from the crowd. many maintaining that Stratton had beaten the faYorite under the wire by a neck. Winfield Stratton took the second heat in a driving finish with Sufret a close second and Nervolo third The third heat proved the most sensational. There was a close finish be- tween Nervolo and New Richmond. The crowd thought the latter had won by g head and when a dead heat was an nounced Starter Merril's voice was drowned by jeers and misses.
 The fifth heat was won by Nervolo by a head in a driving finish with Winfield Stratton. Mckinley, to 4 favorite. won the 2:11 trot with comparative ease after Hawthorne had taken the first heat in slow time. The last three heats In this race are the fastest three trotted this season.
