ANOTHER RACING
RECORD SMASHED

! Cleveland, O., Aug. 11.--Another
record was smashed at the North RAN
dell grand circuit races yesterday The
three miles of the free-for-all cham
pionship pace. with such speeders as
and Evelyn w, contending, were pac-
ed respectively in 2:011A, 2:02lk and
2:03A, worlds record for pacing
three heats in race.
The first heat paced in 2:01h in adj
dition to being the speediest mile ever
paced on North Randell track, stands
as the fastest paced mile of the year.
Independence Boy, the favorite, had to
extend himself to the limit to beat
out Earl. jr., and The Eel. but he
proved himself capable of performing
the feat and In so doing he clipped two
second of his former record of 2:035s,
made at Lexington. KY, last year. The
final quarter of this heat was paced
in 20 seconds flat.
The second heat resulted in another
fast mile. Major Mallow led the away
to the half in 1901, but died out at
the three quarter pole, Independence
Boy, Earl, jr, and The Eel taking the
lead. independence Boy broke in the
stretch and Earl. jr.. came under the
wire first in 2:02h.
Earl, jr., showed gemarkable strength
in the final heat. which resulted in
another terrific battle between himself,
The Eel and Independence Day.
For the second time he put the fa-
vorite to rout. winning the heat and
consequently first money.
With Anvil, the favorite drawn from
the Ohio stake race because of a lame
foot, Belvasia was made the favorite.
She looked like sure winner In the
first heat, but broke at the quarter pole
ana was beaten out by Louis Forest.
In the second heat she showed her
class bv beating Louis Forest in a
driving finish. She could not repeat
however, and Stroller, showing sur
prising burst of speed, won by half a
length. This being a three-heat race,
Louis Forest won first money, Belvasia
second money, Stroller third and
Charlie Thomas, fourth.
High Admiral made Charlie Mitchell
the fayorite, work hard to win the
first heat of the 2:14 trot, Ed Geers
making a wonderful drive after High
Admiral broke in the first quarter
The same horses fought it out in the
second heat. but Charlie Mitchell was
victorious.
He repeated in the third heat High
Admiral again finishing second. all
though several lengths to the rear Of
the winner Cascade and Lady Will
low were the chief contenders in the
2:1s trot, Gay Audubon, the favorite,
disappointing his Followers by fin
fishing a poor fourth.
Cascade proved is superiority by
winning in straight heats.
1t was announced late in the after
noon that UhIan. instead Of attacking
the worlds trotting record display to-
day, the closing day of the meeting

WILLIAMS COUNTY
HOLDING UP WORK
STATE BOARD OF EQUALIZATION
GREATLY EiAMPERED BY
SLOW RETURNS.

Bismarck, N. D., Aug. 1.-THE state
board Of equalization spent long aft
ernoon in revising and adjusting the
assessment lists OF personal property
as returned by the county boards. The
officers comprising the board are SO
busy with their regular official duties
that the board meetings are a great
tax upon their time. This is particu-
larly true of Commissioners of Agricul-
ture Gilbreath and Attorney General
Miller, who are head over ears in work
in their departments. For this sea-
son 1t was decided to abandon the
morning sessions and work double
time In the afternoon. or course the
board work is right in line with and
at present the major portion of State
Auditor Brightbills duties. His Of
fee force is taxed to keep up the rec
ords for the use of the board on ac-
count of the changes made in the ap-
praisement of different items. Gov
ernor Burke and Treasurer Olson are
not SO pushed in their offices at this
time, but they are by no means idle.
The failure Of williams county and
Ambrose city in Divide county to
make a return of their personal is
greatly delaying the work of the board
and it may be necessary to take steps
to secure the returns If they are not
sent in.
Another course of delay is the fall
ure Of telephone companies to make
their reports. There are yet 1875 COM
panies that have not reported despite
the special notices sent them by Audi
tor Brightbill notifying them Of the
expiration OF the time the reports must
under the law be made. There is a
severe penalty attached for these de-
lays and the matter has been referred
to the attorney general to take such
action as he may see ut.
In going over the personal the board
decided to take the personal appraise-
ment Of 1910 as basis for fixing the
assessments this year. While there
may be some small percentage OF
changes the rates will no doubt stand
about as follows:
Horseshoe year old, SIS; 2 years
old, $24; years old and over, $36.
Stations, $40.
Cattle-One year old, Sc; 2 years
OAu anu ONSAf $AVB WOIh OK0II, Sl6s All
others, years old and over, $40.
Mules-One year old, SIT; years
old, $25; 3 years old and over $50.
Sheep-Sheep were assessed at $3.50
a head.
Hogs Hogs are appraised at $3.50
q head.
sleighs and sleds were placed at
So each.
Bicycles were left as fixed by the
county boards with an average value
of about S. The appraised value on
wagons and carriages was left as fixed
by the county boards.
The appraised value OF automobiles
was equalized at $3.50 each.
Pianos were placed at $50, which is
IS under the appraisement of 1910.
Household furniture was left as fixed
by the counties.
The bankers were notified that their
property would be considered by the
board this week, but up to noon today
no representatives Of these institutions
had appeared to be heard.
Present indications point to a short
term of the state board this year.
