Major DeImar Trots a Mile
in 2.O2 IA.
But Is Unable to Break the Record
Prince Alert Fails to Make New
Mark in Paeina-The Summaries Of
the Finished Races.

Peadyille. Mass, Aug. 26.-The grand
circuit meeting was concluded, today,
fayorites winning two of the four
events. Major Delmar and Prince Alert
were sent against the worlds record
at their respective gaits and but for a
strong wind would have probably been
successful.
Major Delmar was sent away first
after the 2.02A mark. the best time
made by a trotter without pace max
er in front. With all the disadvantages
against him he circled the track in ex-
actly the time he set out to beat. Inc
fractional parts Of the mile were: 3O1xs
1.oO% I.31, 2.02A.
Prince Alert was after the pacing
record Of 1891 without pace maker
in front. His time by quarters were:
294, 50, 1.2SZ, 1.59A.
In the 2.Os pacing class, CHEEKY Lass
was the choice. She lost the second
heat through making two bad breaks,
but the other ones were easy for her.
The New York gelding Massetto was
strongly backed to take the FOG trot-
ting event. He was badly off from.

prised all by having so good horse IN
Stanley Dillon. whom few thought
capable of trotting in 2.01&.

Old kras Being Put Away to Make
Room for the New Springfield.
The work of replacing the old black
powder Springfield rife in the National
Guard with the Krag-Jorgensen is only
now fairly under way and already the
Krag is obsolete and is to be superseded
by a new Springfield. This weapon,
which is now undergoing It's service
tests, Is officially described in the cur
rent umbe Of the Journal Of the Mill
tary Service Institution.
1t is a magazine rifle, centrally fed by
clips.
It has a rod bayonet which may be
used also as a cleaning rod.
Its caliber Is 80.
1t fires a 220 grain bullet-say half
an ounce-with 1873 grains of snokeless
powder.
The bullet starts Off at a velocity Of
1890 feet per second, and is still going
at the rate of a58 feet per second when
1t has Travelled 1000 yards, at which
point it has left O. striking energy OF
Al. 9-foot pounds. The energy at the
muzzle is 1851. 6-foot pounds, and the
bullet will penetrate over four and q
half feet Of white pine at a distance Of
f~lfty-three feet.
The new rifle is made of eighty-two
pieces.
| cartridges, each containing two round
balls made Of lead and tin in the pro-
portion OF 16 to Luminous ratio-and
propelled by "a grains OF smokeless
powder. These bullets will have an eff
fective range Of 200 yards.

however, Is in the habit of earring eggs
