In a letter just received by James q.
Sullivan, secretary of the A. A. u.
Sergent r. P. Connect, of Troop e,
Eleventh. United States Cavalry, now in
the Philippine Islands, has the follow
ing to say in relation to John Paul
Jones breaking his long standing n
mile record: III would be of a very
unprogressive bent were [ to expert
ence any feeling but that of elation and
pleasure over the breaking of my
record; on the contrary I'm very much
pleased. 1t simply marks another
milestone concerning mans progress in
the universe. Whatever man accom-
plishes Independent of all natural aids,
either by telegraph, wireless, railway,
steamships or flying machine, should
always be of interest to students of
man as he is, and hence my admira-
ton. | regret very much that / did
not see the performance; l could get
some idea of my own pace, etc. l con-
graduate Jones and l now hope to see
him beat 4 minutes 1871 seconds"
