A WORLDS RECORD LOWERED.
The Geldiug Major Delmar Makes a New One
for its Glars
(Bv the Associated Press !


Providence, R. l., Sept. 4.-The worlds
trotting record for geldings was today
lowered by the bay gelding Major Delmar
to 2:02 in a trial exhibition against
his own record of 2:O4, and the fourth day
of the grand circuit meeting here was
qfGrther made memorable by Dan R.,
who paced the first heat of the free for
all in 2:O1%.
Dan went to the quarter in 30it seconds,
the half in 1:01A and at the three quart
ers post his time was 1902. When
within 200 yards of the wire Dan led by
a nose, but by a supreme effort at the
last moment increased that distance to
half a length. When the time was an
nounced both horses and drivers were
cheered repeatedly.
Major Delfar, between two runners,
started out to beat his own record of
2:04. He went to a break on the first
trial, but his second attempt found him
steady, and he forced the runners time
after time to increase their speed. He
went to the quarter in 3OA; to the half
in 59A, and he reached the three-quarters
pole in 3015, finishing strong in 2:0213.

Two Long Term Negroes Get
Away From States
Prison.

Two negroes have escaped from the
States Prison.
This occurred on Wednesday night, but
no information of it was given out yes
terday.
Rumor on the streets of Raleigh last
night starting from talk by an employee
of the prison, had it that four men had
escaped.
The information obtainable during the
night was that two negroes had escaped,
one of these under thirty year sentence,
the other with sentence of fifteen
years. One is said to have come from
Henderson and the other from Nash
county.
The details of the escape were not
given, but the rumor Is that keys used
in the escape were entrusted to a man
who proved not to be careful and that
the prisoners got hold of these keys and
made their escape. 1t is said that the
warden was warned not to trust the man
with the keys.
The mention of four men in connection
with the escape makes it possible that
four tried to escape and that two Of
these succeeded.

Attel Defeats Regain
(By the Associated Press,

St. Louis, Sept. 9.-Abe Attel, of San
Francisco, tonight received the decision
over Johnny Regain, of New York, in Il
twenty-round contest for the world :
feather-weight championship, weight 122
pounds at the rinsside. The contest was
one of the cleverest and fastest ever seen
here. Regain showed remarkable clever
ness in blocking and in lighting, and so
perfect was his guard that it seemed al
NEST impossible for Attel to get through.
Attel seemed clearly beaten for the first
fifteen rounds. In the sixteenth. round,
Abe sent in a left and right which
shook Johnny up considerably and the
tide changed to the Californian's favor.
From then on Abe had but slightly the
better of it.
