DIRECTLY NOW 2:10 1-4

hi: rxnvniis tiiu two-year-old "WORLD'S ni:coiU) a half second. L'ven Itetter Time Coultl HnVe Ileen 31ade If He llml lleen Extended CI i Iteaulta. The chief feature of the races yesterday was the successful effort of Directly, the two-year-old pacer, to beat the world's record of 2:10 for two-year-olds held by Jiimsclf. Thli shapely colt, large for his ajre, was brought out first about half-past 3 o'clock, an 1 th driver, McDowell, was given a royal greeting, which he acknowledged proudly by liftlntj his hat." Since the performance of the day before it was evident that the three thousand people present were taking more Interest In horse flesh, and many were there Who began to th!nk they were experts as Judge of fine animal?. It required no expert, however, to appreciate the colt, with his shiny, glossy black coat and his neat, trim form. McDowell gave him several turns around the track for a warmlnff up, and each time he passed the grand stand there , was a strong manifestation of favor on the part of the crowd. It was noticed that Directly would move pushed in a trot, and once made the entire circuit in that gait. A slgnaj from the lines, hovevcr, put him upon his fast stride instantly. It was halfpast 4 o'clock when starter Walker announced the trial to break the record. The track had just been given a scraping down by the board drags. It 'as hard and smooth. It could not have been in more favorable condition for fan going, and the only drawback to the perfect conditions of the day before, when Robert J. made hi famous mile in 2:C2!, was the slight wind that was lacking then. The colt was accompanied by Mike Bowerman driving Araxlon In a sulky as a running mate. The first score was not satisfactory, and McDowell shook his head when asked If he wanted the word. Direct ly was not going then remarkably fast. ' The second time under the -wire was not satisfactory either, for some reason, and the black was brought back for the third start. It was evident that there was to be an earnest attempt to lower the already phenomenal record. The word was given with the colt going at a pace that would hive done credit to Robert J., and the first quarter was made In the best time of the afternoon, being :31U. There had not been a skip or a break and the coifs action seemetl as much a thing of beauty and grace as of wonder. Steadiness, smoothness and ambltlcri without nervous ne.s marked the young pacer's speed. Ills glossy black coat glinted in the light and the admirers of speed never had a more . attractive spectacle to look upon. "When the first quarter was caught in the above speed the crowd began to have hopes that the t.vo-year-old record would drop In a sensational degree, and thus give the day and the trak a marvelous record. The half mile was passed in 1:0?;, showing the quarter one and one-fourth seconds slower than the first. McDowell undoubtedly found hlrgself going faster than he needed to lower the record, and If the colt was allowed to push on as he showed he could do at the initial speed the mile would have ended In 2:08 or better. Excitement was rising hlgTi among the spectators Every one was standing on the highest available point and straining eyes and necks to watch the fleet youngster around the last turn. As he hove near the hope of a sensational performance such as would startle the 'World died away, for all could see that Directly was not being pushed. His driver was leaning back on the lines and having difficulty in slowing up. A time piece in McDowell's hand told him just where he stood and he went under the wire with one-half second Instead of from two to four cllpied off the record. FronPthc owner's point of view it wouM not be profitable to cut dosvn the colt's record at one fell swoop, because there are other tracks and other thousands that must be pleased with the pacer's performance. McDowell entered the track with telegraphic instructions to reduce the record, but not to push the colt aster than waa necessary to do so. The driver's success shows that he understood what was wanted. He evidently had no desire to experience his employer'9 displeasure. The quarters of the mile paced by Directly were as follows: :31'i. 1:03. 1:36, 2:10. When Mr. Walker declared the result the crowd showed a marked degree of satisfaction and .McDowell was given a hearty cheering. He acknowledged the complimen by again lifting his cap to the people. During the afternoon the spectators were given a stent cf AIlx, Robert J. and Joe l'atchen, and each was given an ovation. TH 12 2:21 TROT. It was after 1 o'clock when starter Walker rung up the horses for the 2:21 class trot. The Wilkes blood was in favor, but in the first heat Ilourbon Wilkes took no better than fourth place. That the talent tyd sized up the best horse was shown when Connor, the stallion that won the first heat, was drawn in the fifth. The race then plainly lay between Bourbon Wilkes and I. S. French, with chances in favor of the former. , It took sevrn heats to decide the race. Which was without special incident, and only interesting because of the nst tiire made for horses in the 2:21 class. In: first four heats furnished much sport in fust time, but the other heats were close up to the class mark. The summary: 2:21 class; trotting; pifrse, ll.uuu: Doarbon Wilkes.

The favorite wa3 Dandy Jim, and David B., by the same sire, was also thought to be capable of doing something at the head of the procession. In this, however, there was a disappointment, the winner's half-brother taking only fourth money. The race showed that it was Kllard that Dandy Jim had to beat. The first heat was taken by Stradcr H.. who winded himself by the effort and was not aLle to get a better place than sixth In the next three heats, and was distanced in the tifth. after havlnpr a piec of the money almost within tii.s grasp.

An exhibition mile by Flying Jib has been promised. The events promise a day of fine sport. An effort has been made, and will continue this morning, to have the wholesale stores on Meridian street, and all the retail stores that can do so, to close at 1 o'clock In order that their employes may have an afternoon to give to the races. The week's successes ir.c'icate that, with favorable weather and a good attendance to-day, the Driving Club will come out even on the meeting. The Events for To-Day. The great meeting, walch has been by far the most successful ever held in, the State, so far as hard-fought races and record-breaking performances are concerned, will close to-day. The epedal "event will be tha effort of the famous Flying Jib to beat her record of 2:04 mode at Chicago Just about a year ago. Until last week that record, which was also the wrn.' as Mascot's, was the world's record fo" pacers as well as trotters. With a fast truck like that here, Jib should be able to go faster than. 2:04. These will be three races to-day, the 2:22 class for trotters for a purse of $1.0jO. with a large field of entries, the 2:17 pace, purse lew, and the great free-for-all trot, with such famous horses as Magnolia, Waiter E., Nightingale and Trevillion as starters. The races to-day will begin about 1 o'clock, so that all the events may be finished by dark. "WHY THE TllACIC IS FAST.

Testimony from Eiiglneer J. Clyde Power, AVho Dewlgrned and Graded It. To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal: I wa3 much interested in the account of Ihe races of yesterday in to-day'a Journal, and erccially so in that portion relating to the track. The grading of thU track is different from any other track In the country, and is the result of much scientific study and methematlcal calculation, and at the time of construction occasioned considerable adverse comment, especially eo when the shape of the track began, to show through the rough grading. In fact, I was notified that my design should be altered so as to bo int keeping with oldfashioned Ideas and that which the eye decided was right. I objected to altering my plans, and at one time seriously considered the idea of letting pome other engineer do the work. One of the board of agriculture, to whom I had spoken, advised me to keep on, and I requested that Mr. John Lackey, of the Driving Club, bo sent for, and to him I would explain what I had done and why I had done it, letting him give his views In regard to the plan. Mr. Lackey came, and after a few minutes' observation gave his indorsement, from a horseman's point of view, to every part of my plan. The work was then finished in accordance with this plan, and yesterday, in the wonderful performance of Robert J., proves, in connection with other things, that the Indianapolis track is the fastest in the world. I have not the least doubt, and many people of Indianapolis share it with me, that Nancy Hanks, when, she was driven In 2:04:ii, could have been driven in much faster time. The Driving Club deserves as much credit in connection with the building" of the track as it does in Its labors afterward. It came to the fair grounds when, the track was only partly finished, ppent time and money, assisting in getting- it ready for the first races. From the first I have claimed that from a scientific and practical point of view this was the fastest track in the world, whenever the horses that made the records elsewhere would be put upon their mettle here, and now tne record bears me tut. J. CLYDE POWER. Goshen, Ind., Sept. 7. DEAD BY THE TRACK JOHX COXXOIt, APPARENTLY KILLED BY A SIOXOX5, LOC0310TIVE. Slight Evidence that He Mny Have Ileen Dead Before The Euglue Hit Him. The body of the man who was struck and killed by the Monon train, one mile north of the State fair grounds, yesterday morning, shortly after 3 o'clock, was Identified yesterday evening as that of John Connor, aged thirty-three years, who resided with his parents at Sharp street and Kentucky avenue. The train was the one due In this city at 3:35 o'clock, and, as it was moving at the rate of forty miles an hour at the above place, engineer Craig thought he felt a slight jar of the engine, and, a moment later, saw a dark object rise and fall to the east side of the track. He thought the train had struck an animal, and on arriving at the Union Sta.tlon examined the pilot of his engine for blood stains. Instead, he found a man's slouch hat wedged in between the bars. He feared lest trj engine had struck and probably killed a man, and so Informed Coroner Beck of the matter. The coroner and Sergeants Laporte and Barlow were taken to the place by engineer Craig on the engine. It was still dark, but the men began their search, groping about on either side of the track. At last tLe body of a man from which the clothing was nearly stripped was found lying on the east side. It was cold, and the coroner thought It possible that the man was dead when struck by the train. By the light of a lantern it was seen that one shoe was missing, and only one leg of his trousers was badly torn. The body was not marked with many bruises. Death was undoubtedly caused by a severe gash in the abdomen. The body was brought to the city on the engine and afterwards taken to the morgue of Flanner & Buchanan, where the clothing was searched and the following letter, dated af Lebanon, June IS, and addressed by Dr. D. H. Van Nuys to Dr. Moore was found: "The holder of this letter of recommendation is a friend of mine for several years, and I know him to be fully qualified as a track man. His father before him was a track man for years. This man. John Connor, will perform work in his line to satisfy the demands of any railroad company. If you can favor him with a place, you will find him all rlirht." It was at first suppostd that Connor was a resident of Lebanon. Lut Coroner Beck telephoned Dr. Van N'i"a. and hs taid lie d:d not know any one oi tl.ut name, nor could lie surmise how a letter with his signature came to be in the e'ead nan's possession. There is a family iu.mel Connor that resides at Lebanon, and several of them, thinking that possibly one of their number x had been killed, came to this city in the afternoon to pee if they could identify the body, but they could not. About f o'clock Mr. Connor, a grocer at Sharp street and Kentucky avenue, went to the morgue and Identified the body as that of his son. He said that Ms non was a foremau of a gang that Is employed In laying the new electric tracks to Bread Ripple, and left home Thursday afternoon, about 5 o'clock. to go to his work. Mr. Connor said that his .son generally took the last car at night goins: to the State fair grounds, left it at the Monon tracks and walked to bis work, a distance of about three miles. He was unable to explain how his yon happened to have huch a letter, as he did not know of him ever being in Lebanon. II 1Kb Cirntlf Hut nt Dnltoti.

FUNDS TO BE EAISED

SECOXH MEETING OF AXTI-LYN'CII-1XG LEAGUE "WELL ATTEADED. Mi Ida B. Wells to Lecture Here llevoltitlonn Proposed Indorsing Gov. Turney, of Tcnneuce. The Anti-lynchlng League convened at 8:30 o'clock last night at the Second (colored) Baptist Church. A large number of colored people attended the meeting and evinced marked enthusiasm. George W. Cable, president of the local league, presided. The session was opened by a prayer earnestly delivered by Rev. Mr. Haygood, of Simpson Chapel, In which ha eloquently invoked the divine blessing upon his persecuted fellows in the South. The secretary of the league was in possession of a letter from Miss Ida B. Wells, the young colored woman who is just now Interesting herself in anti-lynching league work. Miss Wells stated that she would visit Indianapolis again during September and desired the league to arrange for her lecture. It was decided by the league that Miss Wells should deliver two lectures in Indianapolis, and the committee in charge of this portion of the work announced that the Y. M. C. A. auditorium had been secured for Sept 27 and 28. President Cable explained the manner In which the work Is to be carried on. Lectures are to be delivered deprecating lynch law in the South, leagues are to be organized over the State and the country is to be flooded with circulars placing before the public a complete history of the Southern outrages. Mr. Haygood delivered the chief address of the evening and "during his remarks his hearers manifested great interest and enthusiasm, lie spoke as follows: "If there is any analogy between lynchIngs In the South and elsewhere it is in being- lawless and barbarous. There is no excuse for it anywhere except where those who are in authority refuse to or are prohibited from executing speedily the law. No one doubts for a moment that in the South the law, like everything else, is in the hands of the whites, and, whatever else they fall to do, they have not yet been charged with failure to execute the law to the fullest extent when a colored man is involved. Lynchlng3 of colored people in the Souttti has gone on to such an extent that the civilized world has heard of it; the pretexts in some instances have been so flimsy that the question is being asked: "What does it mean?" Many at first, doubtless, consoled themselves with the thought that it is but an effort of the colored people to avenge themselves upon iaQ whites. Tne fact Is, however, that not even thoae who composed the mobs have yet declared this the cause. But one Instance has yet arisen tha cos wthere the child wus brutally murdered where even an iota of such a charga was possible. And in this case even those who executed the tupposed criminal declared him an insane brute. "So whoever committed that crime must have been lnsanse. There are not a few colored men to-day who are by their hardearned money helping to support their former owners. Howevec much to blame they may be in this matter, I take it that the ex-slaveholders are not the lynchers. Some pretend to believe that colored men are guilty in every Instance in which the charge of assault is brought, and say it is because of a desire for miscegenation on the part of the colored men. This is destroyed by the fact that the large numbers of colored people who migrated Into those States where there is no law against different races marrying are seldom, if ever, charged with assault upon white women. And It must be remembered that the representative colored f)eople, as a rule, are not nomads. There s more to do about this In the Southern States than elsewhere. The lynching of Innocent colored people in the South we do not mention guilty brutes like putting them in 'the chain gang, sending tnem to the penitentiary for petit larceny. Is believed by many to be the continuation of a deep-laid scheme to make abortive all legislative acts that were intended to ameliorate the condition of the colored man. The scheme was laid shortly after the colored voter helped remove political disabilities growing out of the rebellion. It began by 'bushwhacking Ku Kluxlng.' 'White-, capping.' and now lynching colored people. It will appear an enigma to the future historian as to why the American people who claim to be a liberty-loving people in a free . country who respect and protect every other class of ita citizens in the enjoyment of their civil and political libertycould not or would not protect that class of its freedmen who not only fought for their freedom but for that of America as well. 'But the enigma will cease to exist wTien it becomes Known, that they prepared for It by creating a sympathetic sentiment for the South in the North by sending their respreseutatlves North prepared with 'after-dinner speeches,' created a public sentiment in the North not only for the Southern people,- but against the colored people. This was dene and there came In its wake the virtual nuliflcation of all the amendments to the Constitution that in any way was supposed to help make the colored man a citizen. "Not only so, but the Northern press was drawn upon heavily the several periodicals that they could reach were used and beside this others were started ln Northern cities by Southern money and talent. To date the plan has worked admirably for them, but disastrously for the colored man. The question of social equality is not the cause of these charges against innocent colored men and the consequent lynching. In the first place any Intelligent white man of the South will tell you that the colored people of the South do not seek social equality with the whites I do not mention civil and political equality, but there's the rub and everybody knows that whites do not seek it. Tvhen the thing Is Impossible. If !sslb.e it certainly cannot be probable. Why do people fear a thing that is impossible? If these lynchings were the outgrowth of a chivalry that stood guard at the threshold . of virtue and they considered lynching proper punishment for assault thereupon would they not lynch every brute that assaulted a woman or girl, whether white as alabaster or as black as Egyptian darkness? "But they do not do it The most debased, depraved, and the worst outcast of a woman, if she be not colored, can play the part of Pelllah in the South in some places. Doubtless it Is true that the cultured Christian whites of the South deplore these lynchings in their public speeches and newspapers, but, strange to say, they continue. "Not-a single Individual, so far as reported, ha3 been punished except by God for participation in any onu of the thousand lynchings that have taken place in the South. It must be remembered that when a suspected person is lynihed that the report of the mob that 'he confessed does r.ot convict the suspected nor exonerate his accusers. It simply drops the case into God's hands. The cry of 'thief! thief!' often permits the guilty one to escape. The true state of affairs will never be known In any one of the cases of accused assault until a thorough legal investigation, impartially conducted, fixes the crime. Do this and every man of self-respect, black and white, will see to it that. 'Sufficient punishment shall follow. Any unwillingness to have a searching, thorough and impartial investigation in such cases will continue, as it has in the past, to leave a doubt In the minds of sensible people as to whether the accused or the mob is the worst." At the conclusion of Rev. Haygood's remarks the audience, led bv Elder Martin, sang "John Brown's Body" and contributed a liberal suppB of funds to th cause. Other speeches followed, in which the orators bitterly denounced the brutal work of Southern mobs. Amonsr the speakers was Mrs. Caroline Iee, an aged colored woman who recently came to Indianapolis from Nashville. Tenn. Mrs. Lee poseed personal knowledge of many cruel lynchings of her peapl during- her residence in the South. Dr. S. E. Elbert made a stirring speech, adjuring the colore I people to arise and act for themselves. He deplored the apathv with which many or his race are inclined to look upon th wrongs done their people. He believed that the surest way of righting the?e- wrongs was through the pocketbook. President Cabl said that it was not the purpose of the league to resort to a iopular subscription until the resources of th colored people were exhausted. He thought that the colored man ought to depend more upon himself and not so much upon his white brother. It was decided before th clse of the meeting that a popular subscription should be taken up among tbe colored people of the citv ana a committee or three was appointed to solicit funds which are to be sent to the financial committee .it Washington, of which body Hon. Frederick Douglass Is at the head. Rev. Mr. Martin in a brief address sail h had understood that the Governor of Tennessee had offered a reward of ?3.0 for the conviction of the perpetrators of the recent wholesale murderf negroe. near Nashville. If such was true he thought that the Governor should be commended for the effort to punish the murderers and h advocate! the eonetruction of a pet of resolutions expressing the league's gratitude over the actions of the chlf executive. Other members of the league were in doubt as to the exact attitude of the Tennessee Governor toward thA coi

ored race, and it was deemed advisable to investigate the matter before framing resolutions. This duty will devolve upon a committee named for that purpose. The next meeting of the league will be held next Friday night at the Ninth Presbyterian Church. FAVORING A CONTRACT

SCHOOL BOARD COMMITTEE REPORTS OX niCKETTS DEAL. 3IaJorH- Wants the Ground at the High Price Assignment and Trnnnfer of Teneher. The contract for the purchase of the Rlckett3 property will probably be made at the next meeting of the School Board. The matter came up at last night's meeting of the board on the report of the committee on buildings and grounds. The majority of the committee handed in a report favoring the purchase of the property, while a minority report against the purchase was also presented. The majority report was made a special order for the next meeting, and the minority report followed the same course. The minority .report was made by Commissioner Blackledge. The majority of the committee said the only other available property was that immediately east of the High School property. This could be purchased for $45,000, but the majority of the committee said that it was a higher price a square foot than the RIcketts property at the price asked, and It would be necessary to cross the alley if the property east of the school was purchased. A communication was received from George Merritt, trustee of the Greig fund, showing that there was due the fund $1,134.50 in interest from the special fund from July 1, 1890, to July 1, 1894, and a warrant for that amount was ordered drawn against the special fund In favor of the Greig benefit fund. The first beneficiaries under the Greig scholarship fund are Lydia R. Blalch and Ida M. Stlckney. They are allowed $700 each, and it was vo'ted last night to draw a warrant In favor of Lydla R. Blalch for $300 and the other $400 is to. be paid quarterly. Ida M. Stlckney Is to be paid $700 in monthly Installments as the teachers are paid.
