MAJ. DELMAR GOES
 A MILE IN 2IOO1-4 Another Fast Mile Trotted by
 the Famous Horse WIND WAS AGAINST HIM Statement Sent Out From Memphis That Prince Alert and Dan Patch
 Will Meet Each Other
 There Is Erroneous.

Cincinnati September SO.-Major Del- mar was driven by Alta Mcdonald against the worlds trotting record of 200 at Oak ley park today, and completed the mile in 2:0OA, which is his fourth mile this sesson better than 2:01, and the fastest , mile ever trotted in Ohio
 It IS the opinion of the majority of the great gelding would have trotted bet ter than the record had all the condi- tions been perfect. The track was in good shape, but there was a stiff breeze blow ing up the stretch.
 Major Delmar came on the track ac- companied by two runners, the one Of which was to go in front with the wind- shield being driven by George Spear At the second attempt Mcdonald nodded for the word and away they went. They got to the quarter in 3014 seconds. Along the back stretch the game little gelding struck most perfect stride, and he fairly flew. He made the half in 59% seconds As regularly as piece of machinery he passed the three-quarters in 1:29% The
 
 two hundred yards from the wire that Mcdonald was forced to pull out from behind the shield for fear of a spill. The time, 2;0Oh, was received with a shout which was prolonged and fully demonstra- tive of the appreciation of the effort, though the attempt had been a failure Major Helmar will go again here on Sat urday, but he will net be attended by a windshield, put instead will have jockeys on runners to pace him. something which has never been attempted before
 The statement sent our from Memphis that Prince Alert and Dan Patch have been matched to go at the Memphis meeting is erroneous, according to Mart Demarest, the manager of Prince Alert. fIo says Alert will not be at Memphis at all Summary:
