GRAND CIRCUIT.
Baden Wins the $4,000
Trot al Hartford, Ct.
Great Fight by Esther W--Race
Goes Five Heats.
Dillon Axworthy, Dorsh Medium and
Axworthy Other Winners.

Hartford Ct, Sept 4.--Baden, the
Jersey City stallion, owned and driV-
en- by A. S. Rodney, won the $l0,ooo
trct at the Charter Oak Grand Circuit
races, this afternoon, but only after
hard fought battle. The event was
witnessed by 5000 persons and the
winner and his driver were accord
ed an enthusiastic ovation after the
race. The trot went the fun five heats,
Esther w. capturing second place
and Ruth McGreggor, third.
In the first two heats of the race
Baden had only one real competitor,
Ruth McGreggor. but after that the
mare was unable to cope with her
rival Esther w. took her place and
the exhibition she gave took the spec
tators off their feet Scarcely had the
horses gotten under way in the third
heat when Baden went off his feet
and before he was again under CON
troll the field was nearly AN eighth of
a r1ile ahead. Rodney drove to the
limit and at the three quarter mark
not only had overtaken the leaders,
but had recovered the pole. 1t was
the prettiest exhibition seen on the
track in years and the crewd yelled
announcement as the horses swept
into the stretch. Baden was actually
to the front again, but he broke about
200 feet from the finish and was
headed at the wire by Esther w. and
Annie Kohl. respectively.
Tho fourth heat developed into an
other battle royal between Baden and
Esther W., the latter finishing a few
inches ahead in whipping finish
Excitement was keen when the
horses lined up for the final struggle.
II seemed as if Baden was weaken
ing. so Esther w. ruled as favorite.
She held the lead until the half mile
was reached, when she broke and
trailed. Cox soon had her to her gait
again. and by a magnificent squirt she
became once more a contender. fin
ishing only nose behind Baden.
Racing in the other events was
tame by comparison.
Friday gives promise of more good
racing, the classes being the 2.09 trot.

Queensland Pearl Divers,

The Queensland diver gets into his
dress at daybreak. steps onto the lad
der over the side. and fastens the life
line round him: the tender screws on
the face glass. the pumps are start
ed, and down goes the diver to look
for shell. II he Is on ground where
shell is plentiful he fills his bag. then
allows his dress to fill with air. which
brings him to the surface. when he is
hauled to the boat by the life line.
He empties his bag onto the deck and
goes down for another bagfuL Some
of the divers occasionally work in
rs fathoms.
The greatest danger with which the
diver has to contend Is paralysis. and
knowing the danger he runs he some
times demands $1,000 in advance. and
this amount is sometimes lost to the
pearler through the zeal and daring Of
the diver.

Nov, you really must listen to me.
my dear chap. I shan't rest In my
grave unless I get word with you.
Your father sent you here to me and
I'm damned II I know what for. I've
