AMERICANS SETTING THE PACE.
One Worlds and Three Olympic
Records Broken.

st. Louis, Sept. 1.-The third of the
1904 Olymphian contests, one world
record fell before the prowess of an
American and three Olympic records
were broken, the laurels going to two
Americans and a Greek; and one
Olympic and worlds record brok-
en-, but owing to an unfortunate acct
dent, the time will not be allowed in
the latter as the official record.
H. L. Hilllnan, of the New York Ath-
letic club ran the 400 meter hurdle in
2-5 seconds under the Olmpic and
worlds record. In the excitement OF
the race, Hillman failed to clear the
last hurdle clearly and the barrier fell
disaualifying his record, but not af-
fecting the result of the race.
Archie Hahn, of Milwaukee, won the
first heat of the 200 meter run in the
record time of % LIS seconds. The
final distance by American measure
ment Of two hundred meter being
21s.73 yards), resulted in the lowering
of the OLYMPIC record by three fifths OF
a second. Hahn won the event, but
secured an advantage at the start of
two yards over his three competitors,

had everything his own way in lifting
the bar bell. Other entries were two
men from Milwaukee and one from st.
Louis. Kakaousis won the event by
lifting a weight of 1876 pounds.
Kakaousis then went after the Olym-
pic record, which is also regarded as
the worlds record. He first lifted 2O0
pounds and then had the weights adj
iusted at 246 pounds, four ounces more
than the record made by the Danish
athlete, V. Jensen, of Copenhagen at
the Athens Olympic in 1895. His first
attempt was successful.
In the 16 pound shot put Ralph w.
Rosek, of Chicago, in the first essay
buried the Olympic record and came
within two inches of the worlds record.
He tried twice more before he succeed
ed in smashing the latter with put OF
forty-eight feet seven inches. The for
mer Olympic record was forty-six feet

New York at Paris in 1900, and the
former worlds record was forty eight

Chicago, Sept. /. - Wheat = Small
September deliveries and rain in the
northwest, were about the leading fac
tors in strength of wheat. The market
was larger affair than yesterday, but
fluctuations were narrow, and limited
to about cent. Deliveries of wheat
were 4S5,0O0. Price Current is of the
opinion that the total crop will amount
different. Primary receipts were 767.-
900 VS.. 619,0o0 last year. 1t was claim-
ed that there was frost in some sec
lions of North Dakota last night Out
side markets were strong. Minneapo-
lis millers bought 100000 No. 2 hard in
Kansas City yesterday. 1t was report
ed that Snow is in town, back from the
northwest, and that he is very bullish
Corn-There has been strong mar
ket in corn, southwest buying being
quite an influence. Among the bullish
influences were small September deliv>
cries of 10000, advance of y in cables
and removal of import duty on foreign
crops in Roumania, otherwise, primary
receipts were. heavy, 611,000 and there
were 524 cars here. Price current was
bearish, saying much of the new crop
is secure from important danger by
frost.
Oats-The market was firm to tri
file higher. Export business at the sea-
board is picking up rapidly. and trade
encouraged thereby. Receipts here
were 1870 cars, the smallest for some
time. Deliveries were light, only $780,
900.

Word that the handlers would quit

awaiting developments
Bulk of the big decline fell on offer
