Marvellous Work on the Track
at Chenille, Ohio.
Lou Dillon Does Mile in 2.05 in a
High Wheeled Suky.
The Monk and Equity Cover Mile in
Wagon in 2.o9a4.

Cleveland, Sept. 13.-Two worlds
records went by the board, Saturday
afternoon, at the Chenille track
Lou Dillon, 200, driven by Willard
Sanders, broke the trotting record to
high sullIy of 2.0SA established by Su-
mol after Maud S. had Put it at 2.O8A
in 1885, negotiating the distance in 2.O5.
The fractional time was .324, 1.04 135,
205.
The Monk and Equity broke the
worlds wagon record, going the mile
in 2.O9M.
The day was perfect for the trial
against time, not Il breath of air stir
ring when the trotting queen came on
the track harnessed to Il high Sulky.
Charles Tanner on Il runner led the
way after the word was given, while
Scott Mccoy was close up with another
runner.
The mare went a perfect mile and it
was thought from the first that the
lorg standing record would be broken.
Tanner held the runner well in front
for the first half drawing back for q
short lead on the stretch. Mccoy drew
up close at the finish, the game little
mare fighting to out-trot her oppo-
nentS.
A mighty shout went UP from the
crowd of 5000 present when the time
was announced
The sulky which Sanders used
weighed 50 pounds, eight pounds more
than that drawn by Maud $ when she
established her record on the same
track Is years ago.
Tanner used Il dust shield under his
cart when pacing the mare but he was
SO far in front that at no time would
the shield serve to break the wind for
Lou Dillon. 1t was used merely to
keep the clods of dirt from annoying
the mare by flying in her face.
The high sulky drawn by Lou Dillon
was not ball-bearing, but of the old
axle type and several years old.
Preceding the breaking of this record
the worlds wagon record was broken
by The Monk and Equity. driven in the
role by their worker. c. X. G. Billings
The team broke the record of 2.12A
made by Belle Hamlin and Honest
George, driven by Ed Geers, trotting
the mile, Saturday, in 2.o9a. The
fractional time was: .331a, 1.061l4,

Terrible Fate of WateryiIIe
Man in FarmingdaIe.
Lewis Brooks Died Under Wheels Of
Electric Car.
Was Returning Home After Dav OF
Pleasure.

Gardiner, Me, Sept. 13.-CSpeciaD.-
| Crushed to death by trolley car.
Such was the fate which Lewis Brooks,
aged % years, of Waterville, met at
| Farmingdale, last night. The sad acct
| dent came as a terrible climax to a day
of pleasure, and sent sadness into two
| homes, where but a few hours pre-
viously happiness had reigned su-
preme.
Brooks had been visiting relatives,
John Bordway, in Gardiner and on
Sunday. he and William f. Dill, also
of Gardiner, took Il horse and carriage
ana drove out to Pleasant pond, in
HalloWell, where they passed the after
noon in an enjoyable manner, arriving
back in Gardiner, Il short time prior to
the accident They We're at Dill's
house in Farmingdale, after return
ing. and us Brooks was to return
to Waterville. Sunday night. on the
Pullman, No. II, he decided to go
to Augusta. on the electrics and take
the Pullman here. Had he not made
this decision it is possible that he
would now be alive and well in
Waterville. He did. however, and
his cold and mangled remains lie i'll

Keone, Water street, Gardiner
Accompanied by young Dill Brooks
left the house to go and lost the car.

Preble and Motorman Huntoon, left
Gardiner at 1915 7. N. for Augusta. 1t
lad reached the foot of North street,
When Brooks and Dill reached
the street The two young men
shook hands, said hurried good-byes
and parted.
Mr.. Dill says that Brooks ran slightly
ahead Of the car. evidently intending to
beard it while moving, slipped and fell
across the track in front of the on
coming car
That he either did this or got the idea
that the track was farther away from
the road than it was is certain. because
he was running as if to go in front Of
the car.
Instantly uron seeing the man in front
Of the car. before he fell, almost, Motor
man Huntoon. reversed the power and
applied the brakes. bringing the car to a
stop within % feet of where it struck
Brooks. Before the body could be rcmov-
cd from under the ear a telephone mes
age had to be sent to the power station
at IIallow"ll and a car sent down with
jacks to raise the car from the rails. The
body was then removed and taken to the
undertaker's rooms.
Dr. Il. e. Lamb examined the remains
and found that the man had been crushed
severely across the breast. his right hip
broken. severe bruise on the right cheek
and left hip.
In the meantime, City Marshal Frank

coroner. had reached the scene of the
accident and empanclcd the following jul

gave out brief statement as follows:
"Dr W. u. Robinson and George

TWAS A BLUNDER.
Intentions Good but the Results
Somewhat Embarrassing.
President Roosevelt and Sir Thomas
Of Course, Understand Situation.
And Doubtless Other Fellow Will Not
Repeat BIunder.

Oyster Bay, N. Y, Sept. 13.-An I'M
pleasant episode with a touch of inter-
national interest has been the out
Friday night, the 18th inst by the
SeaWanhaka- Corinthian Yacht Club.
Through a series of NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
on the part, seemingly, of some MEM
bers of the club, an apparent slight
has been put up on Sir Thomas Upton
and President Roosevelt has been plac-
ed in the attitude of being discourteous
to the British yachtsman. The day
President Roosevelt returned from his
trip to Syracuse, Colgate Hoylt of New
York, chairman of the board of trus-
tees of the Seawanhaka Club, called on
him at Sycamore Hill. On behalf of
the club he rendered the President an
invitation to attend the dinner, Friday
night.
With expressions of appreciation of
the courtesy shown him by the invita-
tons, the President informed Mr.. Hoyt
that he felt obliged to decline Mr.
Hoyt was insistent, however, that he
should attend the Yacht Club dinner
and the President after being assured
that it was to be purely "neighborly
affair." consented to be present for a
short time. He expressly stipulated
that it was not to be formal function
10 be attended by guests outside of the
club.
Subsequently, Secretary Loeb, hay
ing learned that Sir Thomas Upton
and members of his party now sojourn-
ing in the United States would proba-
bly, be guests at the dinner, inquired of
Mr.. Hoyt if they were to be in attend
ance. He told Mr.. Hoyt that under the
agreement made, if there We're other
guests to be present, the President
would feel obliged to decline the in
vitation extended him.
Today, at the club house of the Sea-
fanhaka organization on Center Island,
Secretary Francis G. Stewart of New
York said that at the New York Yacht
Club q few night ago he had asked Sir
Thomas Upton if he had an engage.
ment for the 18th inst. Being assured
that ne had not. Secretary Stewart
then requested Sir Thomas to hold
that date open in order that he might
attend the Seawanhaka dinner He
pointed out that a rule of the club
permitted a member of the organiza-
ton to invite one guest to attend the
club dinners. His invitation to Sir
Thomas was extended as a member
and rot on behalf of the club.
Mr.. Hoyt said that President Roose-
welt was to be the only guest of honor
at the dinner and there had been no
thought of having any other.

SHOT A LITTLE GIRL.
Brutal and CowaroIy Deed by Ccnnec.
ticut Reform School Boy.

Meriden, Conn, Sept. 13.-Calmly
remarking that he was going to kill her,
Charles Peckham, boy from the Con-
necticut School for Boys, paroled out to
a Westfield farmer named Crowell, de-
liberately shot 5-year-old Gertrude
Crowell, Sunday morning. The bullet
struck her in the middle of the forehead
but flesh wound was the only result,
which, it is thought. will not be fatal
unless blood poisoning sets in. 1t is
supposed that Peckham shot the child
in a spirit Of revenge, as he was to be
returned to the school, Monday morn
ing. Peckham, who is Is years old and
probably weak minded, fled, after the
shooting and is still at large.
