PRINCE ALERT CLIPS TWO SEC
oNDs FROM THE MARX SET
BY DAN PATCH.
REELS eff A MILE IN Isl
FINISHES FASTEST TRIAL OF A
HARNESS HORSE WITH FINE
BURST OF SPEED.

New York, Sept. 24.-Prince Alert,
the pacing hero of a hundred races and
the champion Of a score of half-mile
tracks, went against the worlds pac-
ing record Of 1859, held by Dan Patch.
and lowered 1t to 1857 Wednesday at
the Empire City track. It was the
first day Of the autumn meeting OF the
Empire City Trotting club, and in ad-
dition to a strong card of four races,
Prince Alert was billed for what looked
like the impossible feat Of lowering the
record. But Prince Alert recently
won the half mile track championship
in 2:O3A, which had been won only
the week before by Dan Patch in 2:04.
The weather and track were perfect,
and the. wind. which was high early in
the day, subsidized SO that all condi-
lions were favorable. Mart Demarest,
trainer and driver of Prince Alert, on
account of overweight, decided to let
John Curry drive, while Demarest
drove a thoroughbred speedmaker In
front with the windshield sufky. At
the third score, the starter gave the
word and, pacing smoothly, Prince
Alert shot away to the quarter pole In
:29A: as he entered. the stretch, he In
creased his speed and was at the half
in :58. Then the crowd realized that
they we're witnessing the fastest mile
ever travelled by a horse, and cheers
and shouts of "Come ont" came from
grandstand and lawn. Without a
break or a tremor. he flashed by the
t~hree-quarter pole in 1:26A, and with
out any urging came on with a most
superb burst of speed, crossing the

time, to beat his record OF 1853. The

vogue and the fair skinned type
is going out, says a writer for the
Brooklyn Eagle" This means
that the new girl will be rudy as a
poppy and that her face will shine with
color as well as with health.
Color Is not always the sign OF health.

It is much Dalcr. And the white ski l.

liant lights of her cheeks.
Hard rubbing will cause those blue
lines to come 10 "a. surface OF the skin,
those little blood vessels which are
sometimes made OF red blood and some
times of blue. They are not pretty. and
when they cover the cuticle, as with a
heavy network or veins, they are posi-
lively dishguring.
Another cause of a very fiorid, rough,
and notified face Is the habit OF going
out into the cold cir directly after wash
ing the face.
The face must be made to glow. 1t
requires a certain treatment which,
while IL makes the face pink and even
red, does not injure it.
Face bleaching and face skinning often
have this result. but there are other
ways Of obtaining the same effect with

one Of these is the face treatment
which includes the application CT fruit
