PACING RACES

The four-year-old pacing won
der William, undefeated eitha
as three Of four-year-oId, FIRST
reduced the four-year-old record
to 1902 at Cleveland, and last
week again reduced it to the in
credible figure of 200 Hat IA a
race at Grand Rapids, Mich,
will be a starter in The Tsunes-
see, Free-for-all Pace, at Lexing-
ton, during the meeting of the
Ky. T. H. B. Association, Oct.
sly. This great horse also holds
the 3-year-old re,crd OF POS. IN
the Grand Papids race he won
three straight heats in the phe-
nominal time of 2:oIH, 900 and
? :o2H, breaking three worlds
records. Never before have so
many sensationally fast PAGERS
appeared. In the race won by
William in such record breaking
time were two other starters
which were timed separately in
2:o1 and 1904, namely Doctor
Burns and Walter Cochato. The
latter is already entered in the
Tennessee, and as the race does
not finally close till Sept. IS, the
former is certain to be. Other
starters that will help make the
race great contest are Flower
Direct 2:oI, Directum L., 2:o2H,
Frank Bogash, Jr., 2:oIH, Joe
Patchen II, the star of 1912,
:o3H, probably Peter Stevens,
indicated in the 2:o5 class, Wal
nut Grove, second in 2:o3H by
a nose, and probably Braden Di-
rect 2:oIH. The Cumberland,
or 2:o5 PAGERS will be close
second in interest, for in it are
entered Lillian, Our Colonial,
Walnut Grove, Strathstorm,
:o4M, and other good ones.

Commissioner Of Agricultur,
J. w. Newman, in submitting the
crop report as Of August I, de
clared it is the most discouragine
in many seasons. He declares
conditions have deteriorated in
all sections Of the State. The re-
port in full follows:
The crop report as of August l.
is of the most discouraging one
that has been issued from this
department for many seasons
The report issued last month,
while dismal in many respects,
had hopeful undertone as sea-
sonable rains then have saved the
crops more or less. There has
not been a general rain in the
last month. insufficient showers
have fallen in different localities
and conditions have deteriorated
in practically every portion of
the State. 1t is now too late for
the rain to do early corn any
good whatever. The corn that
was planted after June Ist would
be materially aided by good
rain fall. Tobacco will come out
with anything like a good rain
and the damage has not been so
serious to the tobacco crop as to
the corn crop. Pastures have dried
up and stock water is very scarce
in many places. The lack of
good drinking water has seemed
to injure stock more than the
lack of pasture.
Corn has dropped from a con-
dition of 81 per cent. to o5 per
cent. Burley tobacco from 65
per cent. to So per cent. Dark
tobacco from a condition of 81
per cent. to 62 per cent. Clover
pastures are disappearing show
ng condition of S. per cent.

If these two legumes, and the

lcres of these plants, in all prob
bility will have hay for the win

riven at 81 per cent.
While rains would not do the
orn crop any good, yet it would
'e of great help to the man, who
has sown late maturing crops.
There has been but little sum-
ner blowing done on account of
he ground being too much pack

farmers are urged to sow rye,

that the Germans plan O siege Their
great So-ton Krupp guns. which were
so serviceable In smothering out the
Namur forts, are being moved south.
Instead OF horses the Germans are
using enormous traction engines to
bring the guns forward. The French
artillery experts, however. profess TO
believe these guns will prove utterly
inffective against even the outer ring
of fortincations.
The fact that q supreme EFFORT,
made Tuesday and Wednesday, to
crumple up the allied left, and drive
IL back on the center, failed. has
greatly added to the confidence OF
the military experts here. They de-
clare the Germans brought into ac-

moved them down like wheat with
their artillery and rapid fire guns.
The German artillery fire was excel

the allied ranks but the German rife
fire was poor. The German charges
were marked with til utmost hero
ism on the part Of the Germans but
they could not Withstand the wither-
Ing rain OF bullets from the allied
rifles and the artillery. The French
craftsmanship was deadly and whole
companies were wiped out by the
fire from the automatic guns which
swept across the front charging
hosts.
II was certain today that one OF
the German aviators who have been
flying over the city was brought down
by rifle fire from the outer forts last
night His machine is reported to
have been completely wrecked and
he was killed.
The military have been In complete
control Of the city today. All Of the
forts are completely manned with the
picked forces selected for their de-
