the seven-eighth's pole. At this point
the New York gelding weakened and
Sweet Marie won by a length.
The time for the seat. 2.o6A, is the
race record for the year made by trot-
tiers.
This was the decisive point OF the
contest. as while Tiverton tried his
hardest in the next two heats, Sweet
Marie held him safely though Sweet
Marie made break just before the half
in the final heat. losing several lengths
which when she caught her stride, she
regained.
The aggregate time of the five heats
is the worlds record.
Belle Star was the favorite for the
2.13 pacing class. and would have won
in straight heats but for a break gong
away in the initial one.
Tuna was 2 to over the field In the
2.16 trotting event and 1t was merely
exercise for her to head the summary.
The advocates of the three in five
system were oyerjoyed by the result OF
the PA pacing race. IT was the first on
the card, today, and when it went over
until tomorrow three horses had two
heats each. Baron Grattan was an al
most to choice over the field.
Prince Alert was driven to beat the
worlds pacing record of 1.59A, but he
failed by IL seconds. His time by quar-
tiers was: Quarter. 3lh half, 59A; three
quarters 1.29h.. and 2.0Ol2 for the mile

When a speaker Of either political
party is invited to Detroit he Is
treated to the best there Is in that
ancient western city. There Is, too, a
certain eXhilaration about the atmos-
phere Of Detroit that has led many
orators to fall into hyperbaton. and
this may account for the extraordinary
hyperbole INDUCED in by ex-senator
John W.AThurston in that city week
or two ago He said: NJ
Blind as bats In the serene sun
shine Of his success, they have swarm
ed in the darkness and flung their puny
ink bIots ut the shining splendor OF his
stainless shield. But the 8 country
knows and the world knows and i'm
partial history will declare that the
war administration Of Russell A. Al
ger stands first in all annals Of re
corded time" s~-S
With the taste Of embalmed beef still
lingering in the minds Of ''the boys
and remnants Of the coat Of white
wash that was laid on 80 thick that
the stainless shields OF Alger and
Corbin are still incrusted with it, WI
certainly have no record to match Il
The Thurston utterances must be 1t
tr1buted to the lavish entertainment
that the general had. with his us,,a
prodigality, poured out to his old frierd
the ex-senator. ..,e r..<-.a h4tajr....,
b The statement made that the eulogy
!, cost Alger a pretty penny is all rob
, tish. Next winter, when congress- u
in session and Thurston Is attending
h to his railroad or trust clients infer
ests, then Alger can fully repay hin
for his burst Of eloquence by vote
L in committee. and no, one need be ths
wiser.
