i,t1 WORLDS
RECORDS At FAIR
WORLDS FASTEST HARNESS
HORSES WILL STRUGGLE TO
WIN CHAMPIONSHIPS
ON LABOR DAY.
Minor Heir, George Gano, Dazzle
Patch, Dan Patch and Others.

If you want to see a new worlds
lecord made you must come to the
Minnesota State Fair on Monday, Sep
TENDER g."
This is the statement made by Sec
rotary J. c. Simpson of the state fair
and corroborated by M. w. Savage,
owner Of the fastest harness horses
now in training. A contract has been
closed by the management with Mr..
team record by Minor Heir, 1854, and
George Gano, 2:02; also trial against
other worlds records by the greatest
colt speed marvel the world has ever
known, Dazzle Patch.
To those conversant with harness
horse matters it seems certain that If
the weather is favorable on Labor
Day records will be broken and horse
history made. The worlds team rec
ord is now 2:O2A, made by Hedge
wood Boy and Lady Maud c. in 1909.
FOR ten years previous to that this
record stood 2:05A.
The men who know Minor Heir and
George Gano have every reason to be-
lieve that they will not only lower this
mark, but will put it at point where
it will not be bothered for many years
to come.
Minor Heir is acknowledged to be
the fastest harness horse in training
and there are many who claim that,
without a pacemaker in front, the
Heir-at-Law horse is faster than even
the worlds champion Dan Patch was
In his prime.
However this may be, Minor Heir
has been dozen miles under two
minutes and when he starts over a
good track and is in good condition
q two minute mile is merely play for
him.
George Gano has been two miles in
two minutes or better in competition
although he did not get credit for this
time as he was beaten in each in
stance by Minor Heir. Gano is the
hero of many hard fought turf bat
tie and is admitted to be one of the
earnest and fastest pacing horses now
In the racing game. These two horses
have been hitched to pole and worked
together admirably. They are remark

At this season, keep cool, mind

be neither overworked or overheated
Never over-eat. Dress in the keep

Use sanitary means to keep free from
anything which is liable to breed dis

Sunstroke.-Be careful not to en-

Avoid as far as possible getting into

as loss of appetite, headaches, and
general indisposition. The hearts

be needed. The person should seek
a shady cool place, battle the temples
and wrists in cool water, keep quiet

In the event Of sunstroke, place the

STREET EXCAVATION

Reports of dangerous holes In
Madison avenue and Market street
were made by the police yesterday
and last night. Complaint about one
in front of 1913 Madison avenue came
too late to avoid an accident in which
many quarts of milk were spilled
early this morning. Patrolman Dali
ton had reported there was no danger
light over the excavation and none
was placed there throughout the
night. A rig owned by the Perth Am
boy Milk Company, in charge of John
Stanko, went into the hole and the
wagon turned partially over, splitting
it's contents of milk.
Patrolman l.. G. Jensen reported
the water department had not prop
erly replaced a piece of pavement in
front of 176 Market street.
Wooden blocks were bullying about
Smith and State streets last night,
thereby making walking dangerous
for pedestrians, according to a report

TO CARRY OUT
The PLATFORM
Speaker Elect Taylor Dis
cussss Coming Session
(From the NEWS Correspondent

Trenton, Dec. ST shall do all /
possibly can to see that the Demo-
cratic state platform upon which we
were elected Is made into law"
This was the statement made by
Speaker-elect Leon Taylor. of Mon
mouth county fair, he had been
chosen at the assembly caucus.
Assemblyman Taylor refused to
discuss possible legislation in ad-
vance of the conference on the Dem
ocratic legislative policy which is to
take place after the return of Gov
ernor Wilson. Asked If it would be
the plan to end the session by
March 4, in order that all the law
making and other business such as
receiving and confirming appoint
ments might be disposed of before
the Governor went to Washington to
be inaugurated President of the
United States, Mr.. Taylor said he
was not prepared to state that now.
Then he said:
Il will endeavor to have a business
like session as far as the Assembly
Is concerned and will endeavor to
despatch with as much speed as the
proper consideration of bills will per-
NIT. ] would be pleased If we could
reach final adjournment by March A."
In view of the fact that James R.
Nugent, of Essex, the right hand man
of James Smith, Jr., controlled the
organization Of the Assembly yester-
day afternoon, there is much specula-
ton among State House politicians as
to how far the Wilson men will be
able to put through their legislative
program. It is generally believed
that the Essex members, with Nu-
gent as their leader, will not carry
their opposition to the Governor to
the limit of openly fighting the ad-
ministrat1on on It's bills introduced
to meet the campaign pledges. 1t is
pointed out that the Essex men ran
on the state platform and any such
policy as that referred to would be a
reputation by the Essex members Of
their pledges.
Looking at the question from an
other angle, 1t is argued that it would
be poor policy to fight Governor Will
son in New Jersey, when he 1s SO
soon to occupy a position Of great
power and emolument in Washing
ton. Considering the situation all In
all, therefore, the outlook is that
there will be pretty general party
unanimity on thep roposition to put
the party pledges into the concrete
form of laws.
