PATCHEN THE WINNER

John R. Gentry Loses the Race in Straight Heats.

WITNESSED BY IMMENSE CROWD.

Sensational Performance Not Expected, as the Wind Was Blowing Almost a Gale. However, tlie Heats Were Covered in 2:05 1-4, 2:07 1-4, 2:07 1-4-Most Important Contest.

CHICAGO, Aug. 23.—Joe Patchen yesterday won the great match race against John R. Gentry in straight heats. The three heats were covered in 2:05 1-4, 2:07 1-4, 2:07 1-4. Tlie contest is regarded as one of the most important that has taken place on the trotting or pacing turf. Patchen's victory was decisive and seems to put his claim to rirst place among harness racers beyond dispute.

Twelve thousand people saw the race and the fact that betting was prohibited did not deter the crowd from showing a degree of enthusiasm that is seldom excelled at a horse race. Gentry was undoubtedly a slight favorite in the public well-wishes, but Patchen was cheered just the same.

The start of the race, advertised to be at 2:30, was delayed in the hope that the wind might die down. It was blowing strong from the western prairies, which had robbed it of its invigorating qualities, so that the conditions in every way were against a good time performance. But at 8:15 the two giants of speed were called upon the track, although there had been no decrease in the arid gale. Curry and McHenry, the drivers, stood in the center of the track and tossed a coin for advantage of position. Curry won and thus got the pole.

They were sent away on the fifth score together. Turning into the stretch Gentry led by a length or more, and his supporters were buoyant, but on the way to the wire the crowd was surprised to see Patchen, without being touched by the whip, come up on the outside and on his own gameness beat Gentry out by a good length. Neither horse was touched by the whip, and it looked to be a fair test of their speed.

In the next heat McHenry let Patchen go out and set the pace all the way around to the stretch. Then ensued a long and furious drive, McHenry using the whip savagely on Gentry, who overcame all but about three feet of the two lengths difference that had separated them at the head of the stretch, but Patchen had both speed and endurance and won. Never did a horse show greater gameness than Gentry displayed in this quarter. For a quarter of a mile he stood lash, straining every nerve and being apparently in distress all the way, yet never once did he he show the slightest inclination to break.

The third heat was easy all the way for Patchen, who led and won by two lengths.

The only explanation offered after the race by Driver McHenry and Owner Scott was that their horse was not in condition. "We made a mistake," they said, "in not sending him to Cleveland after the Freeport race. The other horse was on edge, ours was not."

Colonel Taylor, owner of the victor, said: "I knew that my horse could beat him any part of it from 100 yards to a mile. Had the race been on the Terre Haute track, with no wind, the first heat would have been in le.-fc than two minutes."

Twenty Koumls to a Draw.

LOWELL, Mass., Aug. 23. Jack Falvey of Providence and Leslie Pierce of Philadelphia fought 20 rounds to a draw before the Gladstone Athletic club here last night. Both weighed 132 pounds. After the bout Falvey challenged Pierce to fight for $500 a side, and the challenge was accepted.

A Rich Stake.

NEW YOUIC, Aug. 23.—The greatest 2-year-old race ever run in this country will be seen at Sheepsliead Bay on Saturday. It will be the eighth renewal of the Futurity stake which will be worth about $70,000, the exact value depending on the number of starters.

America's Cup ltaces.

NEW YORK, Aug. 23.—The America's cup committee have selected Sept. 7 as the day on which the first of the races between Valkyrie III and Defender shall be held.

Embezzlement Charged.

SPRINGFIELD, MO., Aug. 23.—The grand jury yesterday indicted James R. Milner, oile of the most prominent loan agents in southwest Missouri, of the charge of embezzlement. He represented Mrs. E. A. Ruif, a wealthy Philadelphia widow, and she claims that he has taken $6,000 belonging to her. Milner is out of the city and will be arrested when he returns.

Drowned in a Gale.

SAND BEACH, Mich., Aug. 23.—Captain Alexander Spencer of the schooner Wanderer and John Body, a seaman, were drowned yesterday during a gale on Lake Huron. They were in the yawlboat, which hung from the vessel's stern, engaged in fastening the reef lashing, when the boat's tackle gave way and both fell into the lake and were drowned.

Mrs. Reynold's Will.

DUBUQUE, la., Aug. 23.—The will of Diamond Joe Reynolds' widow has been filed in Clayton county. She makes bequests of $1,000 to $5,000 to several and gives the residue of her estate to her only brother, Jay Morton of Rockland, Sullivan county, N. Y., who is named as sole executor. The value of the estate is several millions.

Rioter* Beat«o«4.

WINSTON, N. C., Aug. 83.—The jury yesterday morning returned a verdict of guilty against 17 of the 23 rioters, who have been on trial here for several days. All were sentenced to the county roads, the three leaders for 19 months, 11 for four months, and three for thjen. month*.
