WEIGHT RECORD BROKEN.
The Irish-American Athlete Defeats
 Coe in Boston Games,

Boston, July 30.--Dennis Horgan, the Irish and English champion weight-thrower, representing the New York A. C., yesterday smashed the worlds record for putting the 2S-pound weight (Irish style) at the games given by St Augustine's church at Bayview park, with put of 35 feet N of an inch. The old record was clipped by one-fourth of an inch.
 It Is believed here that the record will stand, as the games were con- ducted by officials with long exper- fence. Jack Moakley of Cornell had charge of the games. Wesley Coe, who holds the worlds record for the shot put, put the heavy weight but 30 feet, and Horgan defeated him in the 16-pound shot event.
 The Irishman was allowed hand icap of five inches over Coe in this event, and put the shot 46 feet II inches, with an actual put of 46 feet inches, while Goes actual put was one inch behind that mark.
 Coe won the discus event, with throw of 115 feet 10 inches; Sheri- dan of the Greater New York I. A. A., was second, with no feet Il inches, and Horgan third, with 107 feet 6 inches.
 Paul Pilgrim of the N. Y. A. C., started in the quarter mile handicap from scratch, but the field was too much for him, and he stopped. The event was won by c. c. Mccarthy, a local runner. G. H. Sullivan of New York won the mile handicap from scratch, while G. V. Bonhag won the two-mile race. Dick Grant, the old Harvard runner, was third.

New York Auto Racer Has Narrow
 Escape at Crawford Notch. ,
 BRETON WOODS, N. H., July 30. -C. W. Kelsey of Tarrytown. N. Y, was awarded the Deming trophy fer the automobile tour of HOO miles. which has just ended here. A. A. Post of New York, who finished at the same time as Mir. Kelsey and who also had a clean score, resigned in favor of the Tarrytown automobilist.
 The chief trophy, that offered by Charles J. Glidden of Lowell, Mass, the organizer and sponsor of the tour, has not yet been awarded.
 Guy Vaughan, q New York automo- bilist, narrowly escaped sudden death while driving his big car through the Crawford Notch. The car struck a big water bar in the road, bounded into the air, then turned turtle and landed on the rocks at the side of the road. The car was demolished.
 Mir. Vaughan, although badly shaken up and covered with bruises, escaped without serious injury. He was not participant in the tours for the Glid- den or Deming trophies. but had come here to enter in the hill climbing con- test today and was testing the grade up Crawford Notch hill in preparation for that event He estimated that he was travelling at the rate of forty miles an hour when the accident hap pened. No one was in the car with him at the time.
 Forty-eight cars started in the hill climbing conte(, which began at S:30 a. m. this morning. The course ends at the Crawford House from a point about two miles below.
 Most of the Buffalo tourists spent the day in looking backward over the rugged road and recounting the pleas ant incidents and dangerous moments of the HOO mile run for the Glidden trophy of 1906. The run practically began in Chicago three weeks ago. from which city dozen cars started over the well worn road along the lakes for Buffalo. As an incentive to the Chicago cars who wished to join the trip east of Buffalo a valuable trophy was offered by Paul Deming for the best work over the 1000 miles, includ- ing the Glidden route.
 At Buffalo the Chicago cars found more than three score of automobiles waiting the start of the HOO mile run through New York. Canada. Maine and New Hampshire for the second annual trophy offered by Charles !. Glidden of Lowell. Mass, and at once the two bodies joined forces.
 Tue route of the tour included Au- burn \. Y.: Montreal and Quebec. the Rangely lake region of Maine and the White mountains of New Hampshire. Thirteen contestants finished with clean scores.

POLI'S
"wHENWE WERE TwENTY-oNE.' D

WHEN WE WERE TWENTY-ONE." ,"
 One of the most delightful scenes in When We Were Twenty-One, which the stock company players are presenting at Polls this week, Is a picture of the four old cronies sitting about a bowl of punch telling the ex- periences of their own youth when hope was young and green fields were in view. The contrast of types is a splendid one. There is the fastidiOus, easy hammered, perfectly poised Ca rev; the chubby, rubicund Sir Hor- ace Plumley, whose nickname of "Waddles" fits him to nicety; the self-contained, unfalteringly loyal Graham, and the vivacious, impul- sive. nimble witted McGrath. Seated before burning grate fire. long chaste church wardens sending up wreaths of tobacco smoke to mingle at the ceiling with the spicy aromas of the glasses of steaming punch at every elbow the quartet yarns away. The racy days of full-blooded reck- less youth are gone over with the il- luminating touch of a seasoned ma turity and the wild nights of Paris and Vienna are recalled with all the vividness that only can come from the heart that realizes the impossi- bility of enjoying them agaip. It is a tender and effective bit of dramatic writing and those who have seen the play, not matter what else they for
 got, always remember the scene. The mounting of the piece will be found perfect in the minutest detail and the production should be by far the most successful and popular of the season. Prices are 10, 20 and 30 cents; after noons 10 and 20 cents, ladies 10 cents. Souvenirs Friday afternoon.

SEVEN NATIONS IN LONG SWIM.
Jarvis of England Victorious in. Great
 French Race for Amateurs.

Paris. July 30-Paris had an ex- cellent swimming race yesterday, when the leader of eighteen amateurs representing seven nations, beat the time made by professionals in a race over the same course three weeks ago. In that race the competitions started at intervals. To-day all plunged into the water simultaneous ly at a pistol shot signal from pom toon anchored under the Pont Ma tional and started for the finishing mark at the Auteuil viaduct.
 The splashing caused by the eigh- teen plunges screened the swimmers for q few moments. Then Jarvis of England was seen to have detached himself from his competitors and was soon leading by nearly 100 yards. The same clearing atmosphere show ed Baroness de Isacescu of Austria last. though she had been heralded as the great long distance swimmer of the Danube.
 Bands in boats accompanying the swimmers played the liveliest airs and crowds along the quays and on all the bridges made the contest in- teresting and more exciting. At the Pont Royal Jarvis was still in the lead. Ooms of Holland. second. eight others following close up. with the rest hopelessly strung out.
 Amatori. an Italian. who at the Font Royal was tied with Rossi. an- other Italian. for third place. had cramps and fell out 100 metres from the finish. and Maas. a Belgian. fin- ished third to Jarvis and Oooms. Ros- si following. AltierO and Cattaneo. Italians. were fifth and sixth. Dubois Frenchman. was beaten for seventh place by Meyer. a Hollander. Thu riet. a Frenchman. was ninth and Mile Marthe Robert tenth
 Jarvis's swimming was joy to see. He lay on his side and easily strOked. apparently lightly. but rhy- thmically as a marine engine. bring ing only one arm partly out of the water in an overland stroke. Ooms used an overland stroke with his hands alternately out of the water. Maas swan like Jarvis. Most of the others used the full breast stroke. as did the tenth finisher. Mills Robert.
 The course was 11.620 metres long. Jarvis's time was 2 hours 42 minutes. He beat the record of Bougein. pro 1, ,fessional by 2 minutes. The band at the finish played the British na- tional anthem There was great ap- plause from the spectators. who also gave an ovation fo Mile Robert. whose

ed on him as an incarnation OF in
sanity in economics, and of evil in pur-
poses, Long ago such publications as
the New York Evening Post and the
Springfield Republican, not formally,
but in fact recanted their bitterness
against him, and recognized him as a
man of much ability.
The Democratic party in 1904 suffer-
ing from the reaction of too much ra-
dicalism, swung to the other extreme,
and nominated a man who if not reac-
tiOnary was at least ultra conservative.
He was less advanced than the great
body of the American people and he
was crushingly defeated
The Democratic Party, unable to
advance by steady growth and develop
ment, as the Republican party has done
has swung first to one extreme and
then to the other, never fully trusted
by the people. Having swung so far
to the conservative and reactionary
side in the nomination of Parker, the
question now is will it again swing to
the radicalism of Hearst, or stop at the
moderateism of Bryan? 1t looks like
everything was coming Bryan's way
now.
