Major DeImnr Fails to Break Record.
READVILLE, Mass, Sept. 17.-Ma-
jor Delmar failed by three quarters of
a second to beat the unpaced trotting
record at the Readville track, princi-
pally by reason of a somewhat heavy
track and a stiff breeze that sprang
up suddenly after the horse had start
ed. When the son of Del Mar reached
the three-quarters pole in l minute
30A minutes it looked as IL the record
would go, but the breeze and track
proved too much of drag. The times
were 0:30&, 1:O0&. 1904, 2O2%. 1t
was bad day for favorites, as only
one won in the three principal events.
The worst reversals were the defeat of
Angola by Jay McGregor in the 2OS
trot and the poor showing Of Knox's
Gelatin King (Anaconda) in the 210
trotting, which John Taylor won.

A DEFENSE OF ALCOHOL.
DR.. Hutchinson lntimates 1t is
Civilizations Salvation.

Portland, Or, Feb, ia defense of
alcohol by Or. Woods Hutchinson, sec
rotary of the state board Of health has
created sensation In temperance and
other reform circles IN this city.
Addressing the state conference of
charities and corrections, Dr. Hutchin-
son said:
"Two elements are necessary In race
progress, one the survival of the nttest
and the other the elimination OF the
unit The influence Of alcohol on the
race is both ancient and profound. Two
things stand out clearly about IT, one
that II is absolutely universal in every
age OF the world and In every stage
OF civilization The other Is that races
pass through certain definite stages OF
reaction 10 II. First, one Is free OF re-
action and the prevalence of drunken
ness. After a time an equilibrium Is
obtained and tn race becomes rela-
lively sober. The nations Of southern
Europe the Greeks, the Spanlards ana
the Italians, for example, through con-
tinued consumption OF alcohol, have
gradually attained a level OF compar-
alive sobriety. Today those races
which are In the van Of progress and
are the dominant factors in the world 3
work-the American, the English, In
GLIDING the Irish and the Scotch, ana
the North German-aro those IN Whom
drunkenness is most rampant.
Those races which are contributing
little to the advance OF the work, the
modern Greeks, the south Italians and
the Spaniards, are practically sober;
while those which are absolutely stag
nant--the Arabs. the Hindoos and the
chinese, are entirely 80, Alcoholism Is
then an index OF racial instability and
its chief action is that Of elimnator Of
the unfit"
Most Of the theories advanced by DR.,
Hutchinson met with emphatic disap.
proyal OF his hearers.
