NEW YORK, Oct. 2O.-There is very
little 10 attract the attention Of the
lovers Of light harness racing IN the

moved 10 the West.
There was a week OF racing at Syra-
cuse resulting IL some sensational per
formances. that Of Sweet Marie stand
ing out mere prominently than any
other.
Time Was Easy.
This horses performance proved con-
clusively that II will take an exceptional
trotter 70 defeat this mare. who Is the
proud possessor OF the trotting record
for her sex Of 2.03s. Tire time was
compare lively easy, as none Of her con-
tcstants were able 10 give her the con
test that her driver and conditioner,
Alta Mcdonald, IL wing. Her victory
makes it almost certain that she will
go through the season without meeting
defeat.
Another feature of the Syracuse
meeting was the manner in which
James Y. Gatcomb sent his great chest
nut PAGER. Audubon Boy. 10 beat his
record OF 1884 He failed to equal the
mark BY one-quarter OF a second. The
feat proved that the horse Is in excel
lent condition and up 10 a race with
Dan Patch. which IS the one desire Of
his owner.
owaissa's Work Surprising.
The work OF Owalssa. the daughter Of
Bingen In Henry Titer's stable. was sur
prising. She paced q mile In 200 and
gives indication OF bettering that mark
before the season ends. Argot Boy
again proved master over My Star. and
just at present has an advantage OF
winning two out OF the last three races

fOrmance OF Cochato was far below ex-
pectations. while Ralph +. Williams

Deafness Cannot be Cured
