THE HORNING OBEGONIAN, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 1901'. PORTLAND TOOK REVENGE SEATTLE DEFEATED TS A WELL PLATED GAME, 3-2. Past Fielding: of the Home Team Out Off Visitors Chances ot Tying the Score. Portland took revenge on Seattle yes terday afternoon by administering- a de feat by the score of 3 to 2. The game was quick, snappy and hard fought from the time the first ball was pitched to the high fly knocked by Zelgler, which retired the Seattle players. That was the climax of the game. There were two men out. St. Johns was on second. The score was 3 to 2. Upon the hard-hitting Zelgler rested the responsibility of land ing a hit and tying the score. The ball was rapped. It rose gracefully, and the crowd, in which the feminine element largely predominated, gave a collective 6lgh when it settled slowly down into Fielder Weed's hands. With all the con fidence of ball players, the other Port land players had commenced to run In from the field, and by the time Umpire O'Connell called out, the crowd was filing slowly out of the grandstand. Seattle outbatted Portland, but the wary Salisbury had scattered the hits so that they looked like oases in a sandy desert. Portland's clean fielding had also nipped off the chances that Seattle had of tying the score. Mulier started the run-getting In the first by advancing around the bases In clever style. He had his luck, "with him. He started out with a hit that plunked off his bat like a shot out of a gun, and hurtled out to right in a graceful drive. Then Deisel came to the bat and bunted the first ball pitched a foot or two in front of the home plate for a pretty sac rifice. Mulier took a chance and stole third. He got action for his effort, as the ball was sent down there as fast as the hurry wagon, but Mulier was safe. On the next play the ball jumped from An derson's bat down to third, where Mulier was planning an assault upon the citadel at the home base. "When Mulier heard the crack of the bat he was certain it was the signal gun of his ally, and he charged to Ms objective point. Zelgler attempted to create a diversion by send ing the ball like a shot out of a cannon to Frary. But there was nothing doing. The foxy Mulier was resting on his laurels over the base, while the eager Frary was i endeavoring to locate the exact point of the attack. In the fourth, Portland scored two runs before Pitcher Hlckey could wink his eyes twice. Vlgneux took his base on balls. He was advanced to second by a hit of "Weed's. Then came the sudden crack of the bat that did the work. Mahaffey sent the ball tearing out to center for two bases, and both Vigneux and Weed scored. In the fifth Seattle made an effort to score, but the fates and the crowd was against it. With one man out, St. Johns made a hit that jumped. Its way over the heavy diamond toward Jake Deisel. He had it judged neatly, but it gave one jump too many, and It hit him a painful blow in the face. "The poor fellow; isn't that too bad," murmured the feminine element. Jake was game and played on. The next thing that came was a high fly from HIckey's bat to left It was long and high, but Mulier judged it perfectly, and it dropped into his hands. "Bless his heart," applauded an appre ciative woman. Zelgler came to the front with a bit, but the chance to score vanished when Peeples sent a hot one to Tinker that was neatly fielded. In the sixth Seattle cut off the possi bility of a shut-out. Hurley started off with a two-bagger. Klopfs single sent him to third. He scored on a double play, .L "wW?feJl?Paened this way: fclopf was going to seteond, when Bodie Nrapped a short hit tc Anderson. It was impossi ble to throw out Hurley, who was run ning home, so Anderson sent the ball to Deisel, who completed the double by a throw to Mahaffey at first. Prary made the third out. Tinker to Mahaffey. That was hard lines, after Seatttle had j such a neat batting rally started, but in the seventh another attempt was made to tie the score. Rockenfield took first on a base on balls, second on St. John's out and third on Hickey's fly out. He scored on Tinker's error. This ended the run-getting, and Seatttle was still one run shy. The game was well played. The Seattle nine Is putting up a flne, fast game, and the men are Tiitting in such good form that they ought to break even with the champions in the series.

PATHMARK WON EASILY v PACER CAPTURED THE 2:15 $1000 STAKE AT THE STATE FAIR. The Course "Was Much Improved, and Promises to Be First Class From Now On. SALEM, Sept 26. This was another day of flne sport at the State Fair races. The competitions were all keen, and fair ly good time was made. Four harness events, which lengthened out into 10 heats, were on the programme. There were also two running races. All the horses were in high fettle, and their close matches made an animated grandstand. The day was clear and warm, and the course In much better shape than at any time this week. The prospect of good weather has given much hope of a speedy track for the last two days of the meet The course was much improved today, being almost free from mud on the turns. The track will be the speediest on the coast by Saturday, if the good weather keeps up. The brilliant races of the day were the unfinished 2:15 pace, for the Salem Cham ber of Commerce stake of $1000, and the 2:20 trot for the Capital City stalce of $1000. These are the largest purses of the meet. Pathmark won the first with out difilculty in two heats, in addition to the one to his credit yesterday, and Mount Hood, the second, in three out of four. T. D. C. was first for the Webfoot stake of $500, in three out of four. The -mile handicap went to Little Henry, and the 1-mIle to Justus Goebel. The attendance of spectators was over 6000, a large number of whom came from Portland on the morning train. Betting was much more lively than at any day this week. The work , of Mount Hood was the greatest sur prise. The time was relatively slower In the harness matches than yesterday, the fastest being 2:27, whereas yesterday it was 2:21. The total value' of the purses awarded today was nearly $3000. The events tomorrow Include a pacing and a trotting race, each for a stake of $500, and a five and one-half furlongs running match for $150, for horses that have not been first or second this -week. The Salem Chamber of Commerce $1000 stake for 2:15 pacers, which yielded so much interest yesterday, was awarded to Pathmark after two heats; time, 2:25, 2:27. Ben Bolt did not run, owing to his not having got one heat in four yester day. Pathmark met the expectation set upon him from his performance of yes terday. Although he was first only in one of the five heats yesterday, he was re garded as having more speed, when fresh, than Starkey. who is perhaps better in a long-continued contest. Neither of the heats was animated by any brushes. The time was good in the first competition. match was that Hassalo, winner of two heats yesterday, was prevented from starting by the rules. Pathmark won the first heat by three lengths; time, 2:25. Time by quarters, 0:36, 1:11, 1:47. 2:25. The animals showed little or no effect of their hard work of yesterday. The time was fast for a muddy course. It was Pathmark's event from the start At the eighth he took the lead and gradually increased it to the finish. The respite which the night had given him had evidently raised his steam again. Starkey opened wide the throttle on the home stretch, but Path mark had too much speed on. The lack of excitement at the finish was a disap pointment to those spectators who had had their expectations stirred up to a high tension by yesterday's exciting com petition. But there was some consolation in the fact that Pathmark had wont and another- heat was necessary, each horse having two heats" to his 'credit " "". The flnaLand seventh heat of the stub born pace was won easily by Pathmark by Ave lengths; time, 2:27. It was his race at all times in this heat. He took the lead at the start, and on the back stretch opened a wide gap between him and Starkey, Starkey tried heroically at the finish to make up the distance. It was no use, and even a generous use of the whip could not get more speed out of him. Webfoot Stake. The Webfoot $500 stake, for 3 and 4-year-old trotters, contained some interest, it was for three in five, and T. D. C. won after four heats. The first heat went to T. D. C. after a spirited brush with Ed mun S. Time, 2:40U- Time by quarters, 0:41. 1:19, 1:5S, 2:404. Gracie Dell was third, and Kath Alene broke so mischiev ously and so often as to get the flag. It was a loitering race at the start, the first quarter being very slow. At the eighth T. D. C. took the fore, the three others grouping themselves behind. On the outer stretch the racers straggled out into a long procession, T. D. C. leading by a good distance. Toward home Edmun made a good burst of speed and nearly caught the winner, but T. D. C. knew his busi ness and had a spurt of his own. The dis tance between them at the wire was about a length. The driver of the winner was well acquainted with his gelding, and put him to no unnecessary speed. In the second heat Edmun S. made good his defeat by winning in 2:46V. Time by quarters, 0:42, 1:21, 2:02. 2:46i. T. D. C. did poor work, and also Gracie Del, by breaking all around the track. Edmun S. kept steady. The black, Gracie Del, set out first, soor. to be overhauled by T. D. C. The latter broke from his paces, how ever, and fell behind. Edmun S. made good the opportunity and darted to the front, where he stayed to the finish. T. D. C. and Gracie Del broke repeat edly. The next heat was a close shave for T. D. C. Time, 2:39U; by quarters, 0:43V4, 1:20, 1:5S, 2:39Vi. T. D. C. had reformed his faults In the interim and now was on to win. He started out first, with that intention, and put a good distance be tween himself and Edmun S. on the back stretch. It almost cost him dear, how ever, for the bay horse pulled up on, him at the finish at an alarming rate and almost passed under first, falling to do so by only a nose. Gracie Del wasn't in it for a minute. The filly dropped behind from the word go. She might have got in side the flag had she not broken at a crucial moment Here the news was announced that the Yacht Columbia had defeated the Sham rock. It raised a big roar of surprise, drowning hopelessly the clanging of the bell. T. D. C. ran away with the fourth and decisive heat of the series. Time by quarters, 0:38, 1:17, 1:56, 2:36tf. It was the gelding's race from the word go. Edmun S. suffered an accident to his harness and ran almost the whole course. It was the fastest race so far. The win ner made a clean, steady pace through out Capital City Stake. Mt Hood clearly outclassed competition in- the Capital City stake of $1000, for 2:20 trotters. It was run in four heats, Mt Hood winning the last three straight. The purse was for the best three in five. Oveta got the first brush. Afterward, however, she showed up poorly by fre quently breaking into a run. Mt. Hood finished strong every time. Interest cen tered chiefly on secondary places. The winner has a fine burst of speed, which he generally saves for the finish. The first heat displayed several ex citing evolutions of fortune. Oveta, con trary to the expectations, generated from the first appearance of the mare, won. Time, 2:24. Oveta held the start back for several ineffectual attempts. Finally the horses got away, Oveta last. How ever, she gradually crept up on the bunch. Toward the three-quarters Sax aline gained ground with a beautiful rush of speed, and 'the grandstand held Its breath. Up, up she crept, and now she was abreast of Mt. Hood and Oveta, when she lost her fee and went to pieces. It seemed at the last as if Mt. Hood had it His driver was interested too much, however, In what was gojng on behind. His look backward cost him, the race, for Oveta started forward and was first under the wire. The finish was In the following order: Oveta, Mt Hood, Volo, Package, Phil N. Mt. Hood lived up to his peerless' name In the next heat. He got In first by two lengths over Saxallne. Time, 2:2414; by quarters, 0:37, 1:13, 1:49, 2:24. Oveta set out to duplicate her former achieve ment The mare led to the half, when she lost herself, Mt Hood forged ahead and she dropped back. It was now be tween Phil N., Saxallne and the leader. Saxallne pulled up from an Inferior po sition on the race home, but could not touch Mt .Hood. Successive places were won by Phil N., third, Oveta, fourth, and Package, fifth. Volo broke at the' start and never recovered, and could not get inside at the finish. Package suffered a hemorrhage of the lungs from this race and stayed out of the next heat. Mt. Hood sauntered in for first in the next heat. Time, 2:27; by quarters, 0:38, 1:16, 1:52, 2:27. Oveta, winner of the first heat, got second, Saxalirte third and Phil N. fourth. The winner had tne wind at the start, which aided him in forging ahead. He opened up a fan sized gap on the outside stretch and the others could not overcome It. Saxallne picked up some of the distance but broke toward the finish, letting in Oveta ahead. Mt Hood again came in first In the next competition, winning, by, a good margin. Time, 2:30; by quarters? 0:37, 1:14, 1:52, 2:30. This was the fourtn and decisive heat, Mt. Hood now having three to his credit. He trotted-a strong race, leading all the time. Oveta hung on to him resolutely until she lost her feet on the half. She then dropped to the rear. Saxaline, as usual, Improved at the last, but was not good enough for first. Oveta got fourth and Phil H. third place. Saxaline and. Oveta lost their trots frequently on the home stretch. Mt. Hood broke once on the first quar ter, but soon recovered. Little Henry had no difficulty in cap turing the five-eighth mile handicap; time, 1:04. Regalong got second, and Patsy Do lan third. Lucy White and Regalong trailed in close behind. The bunch was well together until the final spurt. Little Henry worked his way by degrees to the lead, and at the last ran out ahead. Patsy Dolan, who had looked promising at first, could not keep up the lick. How ever, on the,run home she made a close finish with Regalong for second, and the two came in nearly abreast. Justus Goebel pulled away from Irati in the one and one-eighth-mile handicap in an exciting finish; time, 1:58. Irati came in second, and Favorlta third. Things looked doubtful on the home run. Irati swept up behind Justus Goebel and passed him for an instant, but the whip helped Goebel, and he won by a head. All three horses started out in secondary places, Justus hugging the pole. On the outer course they forged to the front, Goe bel leading and Irati pressing hard. The run home gave the grandstand a spasm of excitement. The events tomorrow will be: Pacing, 2:20 class, purse $500; trotting, 2:24 class, purse $500; pioneer race, to har ness, one mile, slow horse to win, $25 to slowest horse, $15 to second and 10 to third; running, five and one-half fur longs, for horses that have not run first or second at this meeting, purse $150.

PRINCE CHUN' GOING HOME He Will Leave Berlin Snnday for Genoa. BERLIN, Sept. 26. Prince Chun will leave this city Sunday and will embark on the German steamer Bayern, at Ge noa, October 1, the vessel on which he came to Europe. He will return to Ber lin tomorrow, and will make his fare well visit to the foreign office Saturday. . Received No Invitations. LONDON, Sept. 26. The Berlin corre spondent of the Times says: In regard to invitations to other courts it is doubtful If Prince Chun received any, but he has been desirous of visiting many German industrial establishments, Which desire he cannot now gratify. The Kruez Zeitung fears, that China's experiences in Germany have not resulted in the impression It was desired to pro duce on the mind of the Chinese special envoy. The honors andvtattentions paid to him have obliterated from his mind all thoughts of the gravity of the crime which it was Intended that the missions should expiate. Chun has often been cheered by thoughtless crowds in Ger many, and may regard himself as the hero of the hour. His future influence in the Chinese Court Is regarded as too problematical for it to be worth while to make efforts to impress upon him the superiority of European civiliza tion. New York Chinese Disappointed. NEW YORK, Sept. 26. Disappointment reigns in Chinatown because of the an nouncement that Prince Chun, brother of the Chinese Emperor, will not come to the United States on his way home from Berlin, where he went as the head of the Chinese expiatory mission. The Chinese Merchants' Association, under the direc tion of the Consul-General, had worked out an elaborate programme for the en tertainment of the Prince. ACCEPTS THE CHALLENGE. Shaffer Ready to Submit to an Inves tigation. PITTSBURG, Sept. 26. When President Shaffer, of the Amalgamated Association of Iron and Steelworkers, was shown the open letter issued last night by Presi dent Samuel Gompers, of the American Federation of Labor, and John Mitchell, president of the United Mine Workers of America, in reply to his statement charg ing them with the responsibility for the failure of the great steel strike, he said he would accept their challenge, and was ready to submit to an investigation os to the truth of his charges. "I have no objections," said he, "to the''men named by Mr. Gompers to act as a committee of investigation, but as he always looks to arbitration that is what I will agree to. I desire to go to the root of this matter, and will select as my man Simon Burns, president of the Knights of Labor and the National Win dow Glass Workers' Association. Mr. Burns can choose a second man and Gompers and Mitchell the third party. "The meeting should take place In Pitts burg. Gompers and Mitchell gave us three hours to accept the proposition of the United States Steel Corporation, and In demanding my acceptance to their terms, they now limit me to three days." Working Under Military Guard. MADISONVILLE, Ky., Sept. 26. The Bowling Green and Owensboro State Guards arrived here last night. The Reinecke coal mines resumed operations again today with a full force, and there is no sign of interference by the strik ers. Revenue Cutter Appointments. WASHINGTON, Sept. 26. The Presi dent today made the following appoint ments in the revenue cutter service: Chief Engineer. Harry W. Buttler; First Assist ant Engineer, Urban Harvey. FIRST RACE A FLUKE (Continued from First Page.) as well as he expected, he replied: "I have nothing to say about her." The story of the race as it progressed, tack by tack, with all the maneuvers that make a yachting contest, follows: Technical Story of the Race. Columbia was first to reach the scene of the start, being towed from her moorings out to Sandy Hook lightship. Her main sail was set, but it took her skipper some time to decide what sized gaff topsail to send aloft. The breeze at 10 o'clock was blowing about 10 knots an hour from east northeast and it then, looked as if it might increase. At last it was decided to set the biggest club topsail aboard and a very pretty sail it was when mastheaded and sheeted. Columbia took quite kindly to the swell that rolled In from the sea. She made several tacks about the light ship before her rival appeared on the scene. Shamrock, with her mainsail and big club topsail hoisted and her head sails set in stops, passed out by the point of the Hook In tow. It was noticed that she splashed the water about considerably and pitched heavily in the long ground swell. About half way out to Sandy Hook lightship the towline was cast off and the head sails were broken out. Her canvas set admirably. Never was a finer set of sails seen on' a cup challenger. The ocean tug Navigator, which carried S. N. Kane. Chester Griswold and New bery D. Lawton, the regatta committee, anchored to the southward of the light ship, making the extremity of the line, and soon a string of signals was dis played, signifying that the course would be east by north, 15 miles to windward and return. The preparatory gun was fired at 10:55, and from that moment the yachts were amenable to the rules of the New York Yacht Club. The wind was eight knots. The weather was cool, and the atmos phere clear. Ten minutes later, the warn ing gun was flred and it was then that the two racers came into close proximity and began to jockey for the weather berth at the start. Baby jib topsails were hoist ed in stops on both craft. Captain Syca more held the tiller of Shamrock, with William Jameson beside him. Barr was at the wheel of Columbia. He placed the cup defender to the windward of the chal lenger and kept her there in spite of his opponent's efforts to get clear. Colum bia, on the port tapt, crossed the bow of Shamrock and then tacked and stood for the line. In n Hurry to Start. Both skippers were In such a hurry that they crossed before the starting gun was fired. They were recalled by three short blasts from the whistle of the committee boat. Both then came around and im mediately after the gun had sounded, Co lumbia, on the starboard tack, crossed the line ahead of and to windward of Shamrock. The official time was: Columbia 11:10:49 Shamrock 11:11:01 The challenger went on the port tack just after crossing and the defender fol lowed her example. In order to get free from the back wind of her antagonist, which was retarding her considerably. Shamrock was kept broad off the wind and she speedily worked clear of her ri val, going through the water very fast. Columbia held her luff and it was noticed that when the two were close-hauled, the American yacht pointed higher than Shamrock. At this time the wind freshened. Sham rock went about on the starboard tack at 11:28. Columbia also tacked. The Ameri can boat is quicker in stays and gathers way faster than Shamrock. At 11:35 Columbia went on the port tack and crossed the bows of Shamrock a good 300 yards in the lead. This was quite en couraging to the admirers of the Ameri can yacht,, who had begun to fear for' their favorite when. they, saw .how fast Shamrock footed when kept off the' wind with, a clean full. At 11:43 both yachts went-on the starboard tack. The little extra puff only lasted a lew minutes, and then it began to die away. At 12:15 the yachts went on the port tack, which they held until 12:33, at which time Columbia was almost becalmqd, her main sail flapping as she rolled In the lumpy sea.? Strange to say, while this was hap pening. Shamrock seemed to have a nice little breeze of her own. Both yachts then tacked and here it may be said that when one boat went about, the other followed its example, except at 12:47, when Sham rock went on the starboard tack and Co lumbia failed to follow her. Captain Ban probably did this In the expectation that the breeze must come In more from the southward, as is quite frequently the case In the afternoon in this vicinity. But in stead of a breeze, Columbia fell into the flattest of flat calms, while Shamrock was enjoying the advantage of a gentle air which had a great deal of propulsive pow er. Thus, for the first and only time in the race. Shamrock was the leading boat. At 1 o'clock, both yachts were again on the port tack, with Columbia a good eighth of a mile to leeward. The breeze piped up a little merrier and under its in fluence Columbia crawled up on her rival and after a few more tacks was once more ahead of the Scotch-built boat. It was a great piece of sea jockeying on the part of Barr to make up this time, and It was generally agreed as being admirably done. About 1:20 the wind shifted from east by north to east-southeast, which enabled the yachts to point up pretty nearly their due course to the outer mark, which was anchored about five miles south of Jones' Inlet, near East Rockaway. At 1:23 both craft took the pitch to starboard and at 1:31 they went on tho nort tank and again on the starboard tack at 1:38, standing on this leg about 20 minutes, when they went about until they made sure of fetch ing the mark on the starboard tack. At the Turnlng-Polnt. At 2 o'clock Shamrock took in her' jib topsail and set one slightly larger and of more stylish cut. It was a cause of won der to the yachting experts why, the splen did sails of Shamrock, with their greater area of surface, were not more effective. The canvas set on Columbia had consid erably less spread, but it did excellent work. At - 2:45 .the mark was in plain sight of the naked eye and Columbia In creased her lead every minute and was heading straight for it. When close to It, the little jib topsail was hauled down and a big ballooner sent up In stops to re place it. At 3:05:32 Columbia tacked around the stakeboat and easing away her mainsheet and breaking out her balloon jib topsail, was steadied on her homeward course for Sandy Hook lightship. She made the best of the scanty wind, and. with sails per fectly trimmed, steered for the goal. Shamrock made a very good turn, but was quite slow In setting her jib topsail, which was one of the variety known as "reaching" sails and not a ballooner. It was excellent judgment on the part of the experts on Shamrock to set this sail, for the wind headed Columbia soon after, making It a rather close reach to the home mark and rendering it necessary to take in the ballooner and replace it with one similar to that on Shamrock. The of ficial time at the outer mark follows: Columbia 3:05:32 Shamrock 3:12:47 The wind bcame so light and no signs of breezing up that it became clear that the race could not be concluded within the time limit of five and a half hours. No Incident worth recording occurred un til 4:40. when the regatta committee de clared the race off. Columbia was at this time about five miles distant from Sandy Hook lightship; Shamrock was a good three-quarters of a mile astern. To sum up today's performance of the two yachts, it may be said that in light weather, such as prevailed today, Sham rock proved to be no match for Columbia. What she may accomplish with a good wind remains to be seen. The Betting. NEW YORK, Sept. 26. Numerous wag ers on the yacht races were reported in Stock Exchange circles today. Most of these were of odds at 10 to 8 on Columbia, but as good as 10 to 7 was offered at times. No very large bets were an nounced, although Columbia money Is of fered In almost any amount. One brok erage firm offered to wager any part of $4000 even that Shamrock would not win two races of the series. About $4000 was placed on Columbia at 5 to 3. Most of this money was taken in $100 and $300 lots. One broker said he had $3000 to bet even against Shamrock's winning two of the races. On the curb as good as 10 to 6 was offered on Columbia, with no takers. DISAPPOINTMENT IN ENGLAND. Chagrin at the Poor Showing Mnde by Shamrock. LONDON, Sept. 27 The failure of the yachts to cover the course In time to con stitute a race has created general disap pointment In Great Britain, but chagrin at the apparent poor showing of Sham rock II overshadows all other expressions of feeling. The great suburban popula tion of London was kept advised of the progress of events by pyrotechnics at the Alexandra and Crystal Palaces on the north and south sides of the city. Steam launches patrolling the Thames from Lon don bridge to Westminster also served to keep the eager multitude in touch with the contest. Thousands of persons gath ered at these places. The sporting clubs announced a very small amount of wag ers. King Edward displayed great inter est, and was kept posted as to every movement of the yachts. The morning papers express the keen est disappointment. The Times. Daily Mail, Daily Graphic, Morning Post and Standard all contend that the weather conditions were too fluky to justify any verdict on the ulltmate performance, but even these journals admit that Sham rock's performance was very disappoint ing. The other papers virtually abandon hope. The Dally News says: "It Is rather strange that the British should maintain such strong interest In a race whose history Is rather galling to their national pride. The victorious ease with which ihe Americans have retained the cup may have partly fed that easy, placid and rather contemptuous benevo lence with which Americans may now be able to regard this country. There was nothing, happily, In the incidents of yes terday's race or the Berkeley Oval events to change this feeling.'' The Daily Telegraph says: "If ever there was a moral victory, it was gained by Columbia and Captain Barr." The Dally Graphic regards Columbia as a "phenomenal boat." FAILED TO LOWER- IT. Crescent Could Not Beut Ills Record in a Trial at Philadelphia. PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 26. Cresceus. the King of the trotters, today failed to lower his record of 2:02Vl made at Columbus, August 2, In a trial on the Belmont Driving Club course at Nabart. a suburb of this city. The great son of Robert McGregor stepped the mile in 2:04 without a skip, and thereby re duced the track record of 2:08 made by Alix, November 7, ISM. Everything was conducive to fine time. The track was lightning fast, and there was not enough breeze to Interfere with the prog ress of the great trotter. There were nearly SOOO people present when Owner Ketcham brought Cresceus on the track for his first jog. He warmed him up In the stretch for a few minutes, and then jogged him around the track In 2:31. After a rubbing down Cresceus was brought out for his preliminary trial. Without a pacemaker ho did the mile in 2:13V4. It was 4:20 when the horse made his appearance for the final effort at record breaking. After scoring once Ketcham gave the starter the nod and the great trotter was off, paced by a runner at tached to a sulky. When the first quar ter was reached In 0:304 everybody thought the record would surely be broken. The second quarter on the straight back stretch was made in 0:30, but the third was a fraction of a sec ond slower. Turning Into the home stretch, Ketcham urged the trotting ma chine to his utmost, but the best he could do was 0:31 for the quarter. As the horse flashed under the wire, a wffreat shout went up from the crowd, 'which immediately swarmed around the horse and owner. Mr. Ketcham had no excuse to offer for the failure to break tho rec ord, saying the track and weather were favorable. Time by quarters, 0:30. 1:01, 1:33, 2:04. Races at Gravesend. NEW YORK, Sept 26.
