AUDOBON BOYS GREAT MILE
PAGES THE DISTANCE AT READ
 WILLIE IN 1:59 If.

One of the Most Remarkable Perform
 ances, Adverse Conditions Being Con- sidered-PacemaI1er Useless as He is
 Distanced Before Half Mile Post is
 Reached-No Windshield Used
 Sweet Marie Fails to Beat 2,O4R4.
 ReadviNe, Mass, Sept. 22.-A throng of more than 5000 enthusiastic follow CTS of harness racing, who assembled at the Readville track to-day, saw Audu- bon Boy pace one of the most wonder full miles ever made, adverse conditions being considered. His time for the mile was 1:5s 1-4, equaliing the worlds rec ord made by Star Pointer seven years ago. Audubon Boy started to beat 200 3-4. .g
 Weather conditions favored record time, but the protracted rains earlier in the week had left the track trihe heavy. The assistance of a pace maker was useless, Audubon Boy having dist anced his pacemaker before the half mile post was reached.
 In making the trial for the record, James r. Gatcomb, owner of the chest nut stallion, refused to use a windshield or have a running horse draw a cart with canvass attached between the wheels In the lead during the mile, pre- ferring to make the attempt in the same way that Star Pointer gained the worlds record of 1:59 IA at the Readville track seven years ago. This is the present record with the runner or pacemaker going alongside, Dan Patch in 1902 paced a mile at Readville in 1:59 IA under similar conditions, but as he went to beat that time it was recorded as losing performance. Since then Dan Patch has gained record of 1:56, but this mark was made with a running horse in the lead.
 It was little after o'clock when Audubon Boy tried for the record. The first quarter was made in 29 seconds, and the next in 28 log seconds, making the time for the half mile 57 1-2 sec onds. When the time was announced the crowd cheered. The third quarter was reached in 1:27 1-2, but before this it was seen that whatever the time of the mile, Audubon Boy would have to make 1t entirely unassisted, the pace maker then being one hundred yards in the rear. Gatcomb did not make a stir ring drive at the finish and was 31 3-4 seconds coming to the wire, making the time in 1859 1-4, just equalIing Star Pointers time, and giving Audubon Boy that mark in as much as his at- tempt was for the purpose of beating 200 IA.
 As result of Audubon Boys per- formance to-day match between the east and west is considered probable, Audubon Boy representing the east and Dan Patch the west. It is said that W. W. Savage, owner of Dan Patch, will agree to a match of speed at Mem- phis, Tenn, next month, as Gatcornb is anxious for race.
 Sweet Marie failed in an attempt to beat 2:O4 9-4. She trotted to the quar- ter in 30 seconds, to the half in 1:00 IA. when she broke. She broke again at the three-quarters post and was stop ped by her driver. After delay anoth- CT attempt was made. The time was 30 IA. 1:01 IA, 1:33 and 2:05 1-2
 The remainder of the programme con- sisted of several minor races. Axtelle gained new record of PIP S-4 and Lord Roberts by Aron made a mark at 2:14.

ODD THINGS ABOUT GOLD.
Great Variation in Color Of the Pre-
cious Metal.

Great Variation in Color Of the Pre-
cious Metal.
Few people know the real color OF
gold, because it is seldom seer except
when heavily alleged, which makes
1t much redder than when it is pure.
The purest coins ever made were the
~ftty-dollar pieces which once were In
common use in California.
Their coinage vas abandoned for
two reasons: first, because the loss
by abrasion was SO great, and second,
because their interior could be bored
out and filled with lead. The differ
ence in weight was so small that 1t
could not be noticed in such large
pieces. They were Octagonal in shape
and were the most valuable coins
ever miated and circulated.
All gold is not alike wren refined.
Australian gold is distinctly reddeI
than hat taken in California. More
over, placer gold is more yellow than
that which is taken from quartz. This
Is one of the mysteries of m%etallurgy,
because the gold in placers ONE

taken from different placers will vary

and Prophet.

Salt Lake, Titan. April Joseph F.
Smith was sustained as prophet, seer
and revelator by the unanimous vote
of the members of the Mormon church
at the, opening session of the seventy
fifth annual conference yesterday.
When the vote was taken to sustain
the twelve apostles, two hands were
raised in dissent. One of the dissent

incident created a profound sensation.
The members who dissented afterward
stated that they desired to protest
against sustaining such officers of the
church as live in polygamy.
