WORLD'S RECORD BROKEN.

ROBERT J. PACES A MILE IX 2:0Indianapolis Driving Clnh'a Track the Scene of the Most Magnificent Race In the History of the Turf Ten Thousand People Watch Hoher J. ana Joe Pntchen in o 3Iatcb Race The Effort ot Allx. . Tteord3 were smashed beyond recognition Thursday on 'the famous track of the Indianapolis driving club. Robert J. continues king of the turf, and his mark of yesterday will doub:les3 stand for considerable time to come. The mark he put to fchs credit was 2:022. It is the fastest mile ever paced In the world and goes d)wa into history as the fastest mile ever Stepped by a harness horse. The great son of Hartford proved himself Invincible to Joe Patchen's superb efforts to wrest the laurels so grandly won at Chicago In the bout between the two. It was a match race the like of which has never before been seen. It will raroly ever be equaled, and will never b? surpassed. Three heats all under the previous world's record and under different conditions entirely from any other performance when world's records were marked. Every heat was gone, with one exceptiun, without a break, and this was in the third bout. Ten thousand people gasped in amazement and gave vent to their appreciation of the wonderful performance in ways inJeacrlluble when 2:02V$ was announced in the second heat. There never was a scene like It except when Nancy Hank3 marked 2:04 at the Terre Haute track, and it is hard to Cuhceive that even mis equaled the reeei:ioa whk-n the hindsjm Hubert got as he movei grandly down to the stand TO p?rrnlt Mr. (Jeers to salute Starter "Walker. It was a lar greater recognition than when he marked in the lirst hmt. The lime hid been 11 ashed on the "bulletin board before the little bay geling had turned after finishing, lie must have known intuitively whit he had succeeded In accomplishing. f-r his head was raised proudly and he did not appear phased in the least .is to wind. Geers leaned over the little animal all the way from the turn an 1 ialk.-d to him. It was his quiet way. After saluting he leaped lively from the sulky, went up to his little wonder, patted him and praised him and then turned an 1 shoak hands with C. J. HaniUa. IM 11 irnlm grasping the other hand. Oe.-rs a i l It lOrt were the hero 's of the hour. Trie group around the Invincible pacer was in re tlm. pleased at the work, as their flees showed. The two great sid? wlv.'l-.-rs were not content to !-h w tl giwte-st heat and lowest mark in the world. Joe Patchen did Jast what Jack Curry pr.-diet-d for him. He drove K b r: out the fistest three heats that the luv pier In I ever gone, and all were u:i l.-r his previous records. The average time of the three heats was 2:03 2-3. which is lower than the previ us world's ree rd held ly the ntA,.l Mascot. The day was all that could be asked for bv any ruing association and any horw"lov-r desiring to .se- th interests of the turf ;i Ivan d. It was warm, but the atmosphere did nl uear th.- intense heat f the summer. Typical fall weather might describe it. The September haze spread over the ground and was Invigorating to spectators ami horses alike. Tlie track was in the most superb condition. It could not have been better, as horsemen are a unit in agreeing. The peculiar soil has had the right treatment the past few days to rn.ik.- it unus'ially fast. There have been rains for two nights, with dry. cloudy days. The track had 1m en worked for the races of the preceding days. The dub ha.s never ceased the working of the superb soli. Yesterday morning the greatest of Care was t-'iken with the course and at noon Mr. Harris, the owner of IHrectum. Mr. Hamlin. O'-rs, Mclovell. all pronounced it the best track that they had ever seen. Their expectations of what the track would show ami their convictions expressed at noon were fully realized when the sensational match nice was paced and It was given a record of 2:'2'--. While the beautiful Robert J. was the star of the day, there were other Fensational performances. Alix. Seat to DCIt the world's trotting record of 2:04. failed In her attempt because of the ratung of a shoe at the first iiiarter. McDowell aw she was moving so prettily that he concluded to take a chan:e and co the distance without returning. He made a mistake, as it proved in the stretch, the swwt little mare" leaving her feet ju't before reaching the distance flap. She steadied nicely from hr break, but It had cost her several precious seconds, and the timers marked her at 2:07'i. McDowell was not satisfied. He knew he had a fast track and h. knew he had a perfect day and he made a second attempt to lower the fa-nous mark of Nancy Hanks. His trial was fruitless, but he gave the pet of the horse world a new mark and equaled Nancy Hanks's record of last season. 2:043i, mad? on the same track. The handsome little mare moved over the ground in great form, but her previous effort had outdid her a little. She was going at a clip at that time which infant a broken record had It not been for the unfortunate but natural break from the casting of a shoe. Albatross, the pacing stallion, was out for honors as well as the other performers of the afternoon. Driven by Miss Edna Harris, he stepped the first public half-mile ever started In l) 4-5 seconds, which creates a world's record. It Is a record und or the saddle and s)hows a gait lss than two minutes. Ethel A. gave to th? spectators another sensational performance. In the first heat of the 2:35 pace for three-year-olds she marked 2:101, whicn is within a quarter of a second of the world's record for this age, made by Whirligig1 at Terre Haute. BATTLE nOYAIi IIEGIXS. The Three Heats of the Grent World HtMitliiK Parin Haee. The battle royal between the gladiators of 'the equine world was wonderful to look upon. Both animals were In the most superb condition possible. Joe Patchen was not beaten because of lack of condition. lie w.u outranked by the great son of Hartford. Horsemen early in the week were confident that Rooert J. had too much speed for the black horse, but none of them expected such a result in the light the two were to make for supremacy. There was nothing to interfere with great time. The track conditions were all that could be asked ami the two contestants were announced to be in their best possible form. Two of the greatest drivers in the world were behind the steeds to pikt th3m. The owners or each of the animals was prese-nt and anxious to seo the blood of their charges testet. Merit was the prize to the winner and the money prize was $.7,000. It wa3 an extraordinary sum to race for. but the race was well worth the money. The heats of the previous races were passed over in-ha3te and the crowd hid become comewhat impaiient when, at 4 o'clock. Starter Walker advanced to the front of the stand and. f icing the 10,000 people, announced that the race would be the next feature of the program. Looking out over the track, he said to Secretary Craves of the club: "Look out for records here. Bth of these horses are .In the be.'t possible condition, and Jack Curry has promised to give the little horse the race of his life." I.ant FininlilnK Touche. Over at the stables "of the flyers all was confusion as the final touches were put upon the preparation of the horses for the great contest for blood. Heers had heard of the op-n boa?t of Curry and had replied In his peculiar, quiet way: "13 that so? Well, old boy, we'll

Back and if your grocer sends honest tm,1 h.irt back. have to go some, won't we?" and he patted the little wonder on the neck In an affectionate manner. The amphitheater was crowded to suffocation. The betting ring and the space in front of the stand between it and the track fence was a sea of people. The bookmakers would lav no odds on the race. There were many side bets that Patch en would take a heat, but the general feeling was that Robert J. had a sure thing. Joe Patchen was given full credit for being a star wigghr, but nobody expected him to force the little son of Hartford to . uch record-breaking rnües. Every' person was intent on watching the two gladiators and they were well repaid for their Interest. Robert J. was the first out on the track for his warming up and he was greeted with rounds of applause. Oeers wore his usual colors, a black cap and a dark blue tightfitting driving cmat. Joe Patchen was similarly greetel as Curry drove him down the "track In front of the stand. Curry's colors were a peacock blue cap with a broad white band. He wore ti gray driving suit. Off for the First Heat. The horses were both given a Jog and were then called for the score. They scored but once for the first mile. When they returned for the word and moved toward Start r Walker both were on a splendid Kalt. Patchen had drawn the jx.ie and was on the inside Robert l'H.k"d like a colt almost as they sped d wn the course. 15th were moving like clockwork. Patchen cut the route and led at the quarter by two lengths in :31'4. Ul bert J. sh-wly drew up on Hhe bi -k stretch and the jrap jrrew smaller and .-mailer as th half-mile post was ni-inii. Pcttehn was still In front and iM-s d th" post In l:0i(.. The crowd in ih' stand was enthusiastic as the watiii s registered the very fast clip. Word was pissed from one to another that the nvord of 2:04 was slipping by. (J.ers was quietly driving the little pacer and at each step Robert was KilnInn on the bis black horse. As the threequarter pole was passed their was a ä)nIt swishintr sound through the stand, it beiiisr an Indication to the many holding watches that this point hod been renehed. The crowd thm settled for the finish. I'a'tch'-n was condnjr at a mi;,hty Htrlde, but Robert was ready for a spurt and he made It cleverly. Slowlv he moved alonprs de the bier fellow and at the distance stand was on even terms. Cheers went up at thLs. but the enthusiasts were hushed by cries from the stand to d ist. On came the wei:ders, Robert steadily R-airdnir and under the wire he shut a little more than half a length In fP'iit of his e.mvst competitor in 2:3. Th Time n lion need. When th time was announced and it was found that he had equaled his exhibition mark, at Ft. Wayne, the crowd was wild. Pandemonium reigned when Stater Walker announced the time by quarters and s-tated it was the fastest mile ever paced in a race In the world. The staid Mr. Hamlin's enthusiasm had reached a point beyond Its bounds and he was slapping th Judges and others in the stand on the back and otherwise howinf his feel! n sr. President Tapfrart and Secretary Graves were equally enthusl as thouerh they owned the horse. J. G. Taylor, the owner of Patchen was very well ratlsfied himself, for the big fellow had gone In 2:04, Ms time having also been taken. The watches of the lime-keepers all agreed. There were many in the island who had caught the time dlrTeren'tly, but th time of the time-keepers stood without question. Forty-five minutes parsed before the two frallnnt wigglers were again brought rmt to face Mr. Walker for the word. Curry bore a determined look. He wanted th heat badly and was willing to drive Joe Patchen to his utmost speed to get it. A mark of 2:03i he would like to have bad, or tx'tter If possible. Nobody expected that even this extreme mark was to be smashed and in thia very heat. The crowd settled itself for almost anything.however, and everybody was standing and striving to gret a pood vantage p-lnt for the view of the race even when the horses scored. The CJreat Second Heat. The two game pacers were well on their gait in the second attempt to get away and Robert J. went risrht to the front, moving like a piece of mechanism. At the quarter he led the big fellow by two lengths. Joe Patchen closed up the gap going down the back siretch and was hanging to the little bay's wheel at the half, which was reached in 1:012- Patchen moved out a little more and was well alongside of Robert at the three-quarters. This was reached at l:20'.i, and it was realized that without a break even the fast mark of th? previous heat was to be paer-d into insignificance. On came the gladiators smoothly and moving to perfection. Curry was urging the big fellow and Geers with faith in little Robert let him cut and he moved away from the black at the distance stand, and. with a mighty burst of speed, passed under the wire two open lengths in front Of the determined competitor in 2:02Vi- Patchen was marked at 2:02?;. The crowd could not contain its ptntup enthusiasm longer than to see the nose of King Robert pushed under the wire. One long cheer burst forth and continued until Starter Walker announced the time, which had already been posted, by garters. Again cheer after cheer was given for the great sidewtieeler. Three Cheer Given. Secretary Graves proposed three cheers for Mr. Hamlin, which were given with a will, and the famous old turfman responded gracefully to the compliment. Geers was also similarly complimented as were Curry, the driver, and Taylor, the owner of Patchen. The two great steeds were not forgotten in the distribution of these favors on the part of the crowd. World's records had been shattered, the fastest heat ever gone In harness had been witnessed and the crowd went wild. It was close to 5:30 o'clock when the third heat was called, Joe Patchen was ready for the last bout, which was to settle whether or not he was to score a mark after such wonderful speed. Hoth horses and driver3 were cheered as they took positions for the word. Patchen was acting a little badly and two attempts were made to get away before both animals were well on their gait. It was a great start, but Patchen was moving at a gait that sent Robert into the air. This was going to the quarter and the break -was a bad one. Oeers brought him t his feet very quickly, however, and it was not a second before he wak chasing the big black. Patchen passed the quarter In :30, three open lengths in front, but Robert, moving with great precision, slowly crept up on his big antagonist and by the time the threequarters was reached had recovered two lengths of his lost ground. Patchen was going at a clip that looked a3 though he would carry the heat, but was c?en to waver half way down the stretoh. thoujh

Geers let him move out as muoh as he would take, and at the distance stand he had overhauled and was on even terms with Joe. Curry helped his favorite all he possibly could, but Robert was not to be conquered and he finishel the third heat in 2:04; a half length to the good. Patchen was marked at 2:05. Pntchen On In a. Shoe. When he left his sulky Curry walked back the stretch and he met Patehen's groom walking toward him. The latter handed him a shoe. The b!ff fellow had cast It when he was seen to swerve, and this had much to do with his failure to take the last heat, he being so close to it. Robert J. was not tired and would doubtless have finished a dead heat had he not won it. Everybody was dad" that Robert had wan, but still there was general sorrow that Patchen. after his brilliant performance, had not secured a recognized mark. Similar scenes followed the finish of, this heatvas the two previous, though the enthusiasm was not so intense. The average time of the three heats was 2:03 2-5.

The interest in Thursday's meeting was as cquahy centered in the performance of Alix as In the match race between Robert J. and J.k Patchen. Every' time Driver MeD .well appeared on the track with the little trotter they were greeted with cheers. At 4:30 o'clock the even: was billed and Alix made her appearance to go against the world's trotting record of 2:04 held by the famous Nancy Hanks. The great crowd was eager for the trial. The npprtites of those present had been whetted by the performance of Rober, J. in the lirst heat of the great march race. The spectators knew from the previous iHjrformanec.s of the day that the track was all right and confidence rested supreme in the mare. The crowd wa. doomed to disappointment, however, s far a lowering the worll's record va concerned. The disappointment was all through an accident unavoidable and ytt most unfortunate. The great little actor cast a shoo Just .after passing the quarter and Mr. McDowell made the mistake of sending her for the mile. She acted superbly to the distance stand, when, after completing a world's record clip to this point she left her feet and finished in 2:t'7i,i. It was 4:40 o'clock when Srarter "Walker give the word at a nod from McDowell after two scores. The sun was low in the sky, and every condition favored the great daughter of Patronage? in her trial to lower the colors of Nancy. Towards the east she went at a merrv clip and reached the quarter In :31. Hvery eye was on her as she made the turn Into the hick stretoh. I: was here that she east her shoe, but not a man in the whole stand noticed a swerve or a false movement. To the half tha formidable rival of Nancy Hanks moved out in a manner to convince the immense throng that the long standing 2:04 was to be a matter of history. The stride was k?p: up to t'a? quarter, but In th? stretch the game little mar disappointed the vast throng. Nearln.g the distance stand she swerved her neck and McDowell could not keep her down. She moved nervously, and in an instant was off hT stride and there los: her opportunity of the day for gratifying the wishes of her owners and thousands of spectators. Every person in the immense throng was in sympathy wiih McDowell and his pet. and this sympathy was expressed openly in the "Oh" that passed over the crowd. The Crowd Drenthless. It had been a3 still as though not a sou', was on the ground. From the stand th? request for the strictest quietude had come, and it was complied with. The expression of disappointment at the failure of the sweet little mare was thus all the more noticeable because of ihis. President Ta.gart, after the announcement of the time, told the cause of the break and said rhat another attempt would be made to cut the record later in the afternoon. It wis received by the crowd with enthusiasm, and there was not a person but that hoped that the fame of the little trotter would b? increased. It was 5:40 when the gates swung open to admit Alix to the track. The course had been cleared and the surface smoothed down. The mare did not show any weariness from her previous record, and there was hope that she might succeed. The crowd had seen 2:02,2 paced and it was readyx for anything from Alix and hoped for the best. Andy McDowell wa3 as anxious as was the crowd and he nodded for the word after once scoring. There was never a start made more auspiciously, but at the eighth Andy was hugging the fence and Alix went to a break. Back she came for another trial, and this time got away luckily. She moved in a graceful stride and held her feet beautifully. The quarter was reached in :3i4 and the half In 1:02. "Siie'll beat it! She'll beat it!" cried out a number of enthusiasts, but going to the half It was "nut a 2:01 gait. Everybody pulled for her, and at the three-quarters she was caught at 1:H3. It was a great race down the stretch, the old runner driven bv Mike Bowerman setting a good olip. It was not speedy enough, however, for the world's record, but she lowered her own mark from 2:05 and tied Nancy's mark of 1893. made on the same track. Alls Aftnlnat the World Trottln?

MARKET REPORTS.

CHICAGO, Sept. 10. The grain markets started out in a very b6ld and aggressive manner and made considerable advance before meeting any effectual resistance. When they ran ut) against the visible supply statement they turned around and became as bearish as they had been previously bullish. Compared with Saturday's closing prices December wheat Is lower, May corn c lower and September oats unchanged. Provisions were independently strong, finishing with liberal gains all around. Wheat started strong at from c to Vi? lower than the price at which it closed Saturday. It was a holiday in Liverpool. Beerbohm reported Paris firm at slightly better prices and Berlin from to marks higher. The amount of wheat m ocean passage increased 232,000 bushels during last week and the week's shipments from India were 440.000 bushels. Receipts of wheat at Chicago were only 205 carloads. Minneapolis reported receipts of 585 cars and Duluth 240 cars. The market firmed until after the visible supply, statement was published, and even for half an hour following that it appeared inclined to resist the bearish influence which might be expected from an increase of 2,21!).0OO bushels, compared with a generally expected Increase of not more than 1,000,000 bushels. In the meantime December, which had opened at 57?c, and öfter a slight turn down to '''2r, had advanced to 58c, had become steady at around ä'c until it wa? seen that the visible supply would Increase beyond . expectations. When the result became known it broke to 571.4 c, bt't met a good demand at that, whl;h turned It up again about lie. Rumors became current at the latter point that the New Yorkers had good authority for the prediction of a quite bearish government report on wheat this afternoon, ond cn that there was a clatter In the pit as the price rolled down to 57c, with sellers at that for a brief space, closing at 57VsC. Corn opened strong under a belief that the government and the elements were both going to do something for the bulls this afternoon. The government was confidently expected to confirm the worst heard from other sources regarding the extent of the drought damage, and the weather bureau reported frost conditions for a large area of the western corn country tonight with probably killing frosts in the more northern fringe of counties. The day's receipts being light and the estimates for tomorrow also small were additional causes of lh early strength. After the heavy increase In the visibe supply of wheat had begun to weaken that market the local bears in corn found their opportunity and quickly knocked the bull feeling ullt of the corn market. There was an active trade during the first half hour. It then became quite dull until after the visible was received, when It became active again, while all the early bullishness was evaporating. May opened at f.tl'ic, with a sale as high as ftl',, but hardly any business was generally possible over rrJe. It fluctuated for a time between "'hC and .V5',;c. and about an hour from the close it sold as low as r..)c. It recovered again to 5."?ic and closed nt Vi'tie. Oats started with Indications or strength and a good business, but soon after the start the firmness gave way. Fluctuations continued to rule In sympathy with corn and still show no signs of lnd-pendency. The expectation of a vry bearish government crop report added materially to the heaviness prevailing. September opened at .I0;',c, sold off to 3);;c and closed at 30'4c There was only one side to the provision market. It was strong from start to finish. Receipts of hogs here and elsewhere in the West were quite light and their price here was about 5c over Saturday's average as reported from thyards. Some buying orders at the start coud only be filled by bidding up prices, the offerings twin light. Chapin & J-M-wards were good buyers of ribs and Boyd, Dunham &. Co. and the Cudahy packing company had them for sale on the advances. January pork closed 27'a higher, January lard 20c higher and January ribs 12ic higher.

Barry's Chicago advicas say: As usuil on government report day, the market was rather quiet, although we believe the report has been pretty well discounted, it being generally anticipated that it will be very bullish on corn and bearish on wheat and oats. Reports of severe frost in the West caused an advance in corn, and news in general being bullish, wheat opened firm and higher, and with offerings extremely light prices soon showed a caln of over lsr Sat urday's close. On passage wheat, includl mg Indian shipments. Increased 532.000 bu. There was considerable realizing by outsiders and local traders catching the fever everyone hid wheat for sale, causing a break of lc. The big increase in the visible of 2,219.000 bu aided in the depression, it b?ing fully a million bushels more than expected. With reports of severe frost west corn opened about 4c over Saturday's close, the favorable advices from the other side adding strength to the market. Failure of outside interest and fear that the crop report may be quite different from what was anticipated caused a nervous feeling and the increase in the visible, with the break in wheat, resulted In a slump of over lc. Later some slight reictlon was 1 experienced on predictions of further j frosts tonight for Nebraska, Iowa, Wisconsin and Illinois. Little or nothing doing in oats, and although the opening was firm at a slight advance, it was but sympathy with other I grain3, and the market gradually eased off and became weak, tne ense Demg ai a loss of about e from the opening. Provisions opened up exceedingly strong on the light hog receipts here and in the West. There was little or nothing for sale early and prices showed a good advanc?.

Most anything that shippers could use was saleable at an advance of 25c, and there were not wanting instances where cattle sold CO'-ilOe higher than at the best time last. week. There were scarcely more than 8.000 natives of all grades, ane perhaps not more than half of the supply closed better than medium. Therefore, there was a liveiy scramble among those who wanted good tattle, with the result above noted. There were a number of sales at better than $, ami no doubt something fancy would have brought $C.35'( 6.40. The change in common natives anO range cattle was not so decide, but everything was higher. The receipts were estimated at I6.0JÖ head, of which about 8,o0 were natives, 6.0U0 westerns and 2.VJ0 Texas. Natives were quoted at $1.75''i5. and Texas at .n.5ofi3.35. All the Texas cattle belonged to local slaughterers. The bog market advanced lOTi 15c It was active until near the close, when there was some trading at 5c off from the best prices of the day. Receipts were fair, but the remaining days of this week are expected to see light runs and there appeared to be a confident feeling among all classes of operators. There was a sale of heavy hogs at $6.73, nnd it was rumored that JIM wa.s 'paid, while the highest price heretofore reached was $6.65. Although the quality averaged very common there was comparatively a limited amount of trading at less than $C The close was slow and weak. Gootsheep and iambs sold lfte higher than on the closing days of last week and sold readily. There was a good demand for the betU-r qualities. Nt much of any Importance could be seen In the market
