R1S AND PALL OE THE KINGS
- AND QUEENS OF AMERICAN RACERS
' In my last article I had given a
" great deal of space to that wonderful
mare, Allx, who remained queen of
the trotting turf for six years. It was
on Aug. 25 at Terro Haute, Ind., that
the crown was finally wrestc from
the wonderful Allx and bestowed up
on The Abbot.
THE ABBOT.
This bay gelding by Chimes, son
of Electioneer, dam by Nettle King
by Mam,btfluo King, hoed a hard
row getting up to the necessary speed
Ho was the possessor of extreme
speed ratherf than a race animal
such as Allx had been. Ho was in
his 7-year-old form wlion the record
fell to him. On Aug., 20 of that year
he was driven at Readvlllo, Mass., to
beat 2:0G14 and succcded in trotting
in 2:05. On Aug. 31, at Providence
to boat 2:05, ho made the mile
in 2:04. On Sept. C at Hartford
he was driven to a wagon to beat
a record of 2:09 and made- the mile
in 2:05. At Providence again In
the bike "sulky, to beat 2:04, he
made the mile In 2:04. At Torre
Haute, Sept. 25, hq made a new
world's record of 2:03. On Oct. 10,
at Lexington, Ky., ho was hitched
with Lord Derby and the pair made
two trials against the team record
of the time, 2:12 and failure was
tho result. The first was 2:17, and
the second 2:10. And this proved
to be practically tho end of the Ab
bot's career, for he was never able
afterwards to 'boat his mark and
never equalled it. As I have before
said he was not noted as a great race
animal, and all eyes was soon turned
away from him for tho reason that
ho was eclipsed by
CUESCEUS.
This great horse appeared as a fast
i n,n fnitnwinc vear. He is a
chestnut horse by Robert McGregor.
Although previously known as a
horso of spoed and promise he jumped
into public notict when ho won the
free-for-all thot at Detroit on July 18,
1001, his fastest mile being2:05. He
next -appeared at Columbus Ohio, on
Aug.2, where he started to beat 2:02
and made tho mile In 2:02. There
were doubters many, and whon his
trial against tho watch at Pough
keepsle. N. Y., ended so disastrously
(tho mile being in 2:00), the
match raco between him and The
Abbot for $12,000 at Brighton Beach
became of great Interest. This oc
curred Aug.15, and Tho Abbot was
distanced in the bfcond heat. The
"time of tho three miles was: 2: 03,
2:00, and 2:05. At Providence Aug
"30 an of fort to beat the watch re
sulted only In 2:05. Tho followers
of Tho Abbot refused o boliove tho
remilt of the previous race, and ar
ranged another match with Crcsceus,
Uils to bo for $20,000, at RoadvlUo,
Mass., Sept. 21. Tho raco come oft

On Oct. 17, at Columbus, Crcsceus
again failed to reduco his mark, and
throo days later ho scored another
failure at Kansas Cltyr ..At Minne
apolis, Minn., Oct. 31, niurtaJLos
Angolos, Dec. 14, ho failed. Indeed
ho was right that day In Columbus,
Ohio, and never slnco has ho been
nblo to lower it. Many wore tho
trials and many tho failures. Ho
Boomed to havo reached his limit and
thero was nothing moro to do. Ho
could only retire. His still remains
tho fastest trotting record for an on
tiro horso.
' TUB WORLD'S WONDER,
appeared In 1903 and boforo she fin
ished sho had upended every trotting
record ovor known. To tho peerless
Lou Dillon I havo an apology, for 1
said some tlmo ago that tho tlmo of
Maud S, 2:08. to n high-wheeled
sulky on a regulation track, had
nqvor boon beaten. This Is a mls
tnko, for Lou Dillon did beat It at
Clovoland, Sept. 12. 1903, when sho
made tho milo in 2:05, although
hitched to tho samo styled sulky that
Maud S had used. To toll of tho
struggles of Lou Dillon against the
watch Is in part to scorn to ropent
tho exertions of others boforo her.
This peorless maro is tho property of
C. K. Q. Billings, tho man owning
tho gas works in Chicago. Sho Is by
Sidney Dillon, dam Lou Milton, by
Milton Medium.
-- HER EARLY CAREER
" , but wo may pass ovor
that and come to her record-breaking
performances of 1903. Here is a
table of them:
July 4, Cleveland, to beat 2:03.
Lost; time, 2:04.
July 11, Cleveland, same task.
Won; time, 2:03.
July 31, Cleveland, to beat 2:03.

Aug. 17, Brooklyn, to beat her
record. Lost; time 2:03.
Aug. 24, at Readvlllo, Mass., to
beat her record. Won; time, 2:00.
Sept. 12, Cleveland, to beat record
of Maud S., 2:0S to high wheeled
sulky. Won; tlmo, 2.05.
Oct. 10, Lexington, to beat 2:04
to wagon. Won; time, 2:01.
Oct. 20, at Memphis, trotting
against Major Delmar for the gold
cup. She beat him handily, her

Oct. 28, to beat 2:01 to wagon.
Won; time, 2:00.
Lou Dillon Is now retired and is
kept at Cleveland, Ohio., where she
is used as a driver by her owner, Mr.
Billings.
THE PACERS.
Many years ago tho pacers were
vastly different from now. They
fairly rocked from side to side and if
one of them possessed speed ho
proved of little value for tho reason
that he zigzagged the buggy across
the road and back with every two
strides. Now it is different. So
great has become the infusion of trot
ting blood that nowadays almost all
pacers go as smooth and level as trot
ters and by many are valued just as
much for harness work. Horsemen
deem the gait faster, saying that it
is a nearer approach to a run and
that Is tho natural gait. The records
thiu far obtained seem to bear out
this assertion. It was as early a3
1S84 that Johnston, by Joe Bassett,
dam by Ned Foro3t, paced a milo In
2:00. Considering that this was
to a high wheel sulky it seoms a
great performance yet. For many
years that record stood, partly be
cause every horseman who could
train his colt to trot, used toe
weights, shod heavily In front and
generally interfered with hundreds
of good ones who would no doubt
have been fast at a pace. But all
reasoning apart, it remains a fact
that It was 'seven years before John
ston's record was beaten. Now, how
ever, a large number have It bested.
It fell to 2:00 when Direct, a black
noise by Director, made tho mile at
Independence, la., In 1891. It Is in
teresting to remember that Direct
carried much of tho blood that made
old Dexter famous.
This record lasted for a year, for
on Sept. 29, '92, at Terry Hauto, the
mark was set at 2:04 by Mascot, a
bay gelding by Deceive
Here It remained for two years,
but again at Te'rry Haute, Sept. 14,
'94, tho mark was dropped away
down to 2:01, by Robert J. a bay
gelding by Hartford. It Is interest
ing that on this samo day John R.
Gentry, In an effort to lower tho
mark, made 2:03.
Mcantlmo Gentry ' was pegging
away and getting up n llttlo moro
speed and two years later, at Port
land, Mo., Sept. 2 1, '9G, ho reducsd
tho mark to 2:00.
That was good for less than a year,
but on Aug 28, '97, nt Readvllle,
Mass., tho flguro was cut dowi
another notch to 1:59 by Stn
Pointer, then oight years of ago and
a son of Brown Hal.
Hero was a tlmo for all tho 'ol
lowers of tho pacing sires to get bun.
They were busy telling that a strictly
trotting bred pacor might go some
at tho pneo, but If you wanted ox
tromo speed you must hunt pacing
blood to got It. Just when thoy
wore thus confldontly talking thero
was growing a sturdy brown yearling
by that most famous of racing pac
ors, Joo Pntchon. In tho veins of
tho youngster was plenty of straight
trotting blood and ho was called Dan
Patch. At Memphis, Tonn., Oct. 22,
'03 at sovon years of ago, ho mado
tho milo In 1:50. Ho Is now 11
yoars old, sound as a dollar, has no
woaknoss, has nover wnvorod In his
courage, and, although ho has had
nothing to pace against oxcopt tho
watch for years, ho has shown his
ability to beat that time after time.
Ho stands today nlono ns tho fastest
harness horso tho world has over
known.

It might be said with perfect truth
fulness that neither North Bend or
Marshfield is confident of winning to
day's ball game. When such a state
ment is made, there should bo some
thing to substantiate It. What team
over entered a contest and expected
to win if It had not practiced in tho
past two weeks? It may bo that
Nf.ith Bend relies on its past record
and believes Marshfield easy meat.
On the other hand, what excuse has
Marshfield to offer for its inactivity
In the way of practice?
Word comes from the neighboring
city that there has been no practice
this week of any consequence. The
samo thing is known to bo tho con
dition In Marshfield. Then, tho fans
who patronize the game, have a kick
coming if the game develops into a
farce.
The patrons of the League games
so far have been loyal and turned out
in large numbers to cheer their re
spective teams on to victory, but
there have been rumors of dissatis
faction, and a better article of base-
bal is due about now. The financial
end of the scheme is said to be in a
'very healthy condition and the play
ers are receiving good pay for their
time. The public has been paying,
quite often, forty cents for ten cent
games, and where practice Is tabooed
the Intrinsic value of the games Is
likely to fall even below the ten
cent standard.
But It Is not the purpose to Injure
tho Interest In the League. Every
body who likes baseball will attond
I ho gtmes, but there Is a certain
leciprocation due the public when It
iemalns so loyal. That is, better
games and fewer stupid plays. These
corrections can only bo accomplished
through a fair amount of practice.
Marshfield and North Bend stand
neck pnd neck In tho race, and are
tied for second place. Ono or the
other will hayo tho coveted position
whon today's game is finished, and
therein lies the great interest which
tho game Inspires. Thero is no ma
terial ohungo in either team so far as
known, though a few positions aro
shifted.
It K intimated that some trouble
exists in the North Bend team and
it U a possibility thnt the team may
ccme clown with a new pitcher. It
is told by outsiders that Graham Is
not satisfied with tho manner In
which the team Is run, and desires a
ciiaiip.o in tho manngement or cap
tairey. and is holding out for this
contention. However, the line-up
was given the Times with his name
down for slab work and the difficulty
will llkoly bo adjusted to the satis
faction of all concerned.
Tho North Bend line-up: Graham,
pitcher; Lyons, catcher; Felter, first
base; Gale, second base; Gatfney,
short stop; Keane, third base; Foot,
right field; Wlckman, center field;
Paul, left field.
Mnrshflold's line-up as about as fol
lows: Wright, pitcher; Cowan, catch-
or; Dimmick, first base; McKeown,
second base-; Tower, short stop;
McLaln or Liljeqvist, third base; Fer
roy, right field; Wells, center field;
Liljeqvist or McLain, left field.
On tho other side, Coquillo and
Bandon will battle for supremacy.
Coquillo should win, but Bandon has
been getting better of lato, and tho
county seat boys may get upset.
Bandon would not cut any great figure-
In the percentage column If she
does win, but would be doing North
Bond and Marshfield a kindness if
sho would down the Coquille aggre-
gatlon, and thus bring them back
within reaching distance.
Interest In This Morning's
Contest Has Reached
Acute Stage.
$1,000 SAID TO BE BET
Both Contestants Are Supremely Con-
lldent In the Merits of Their
Respect le Boats.
This morning at oight-thirty the
long-talked-of boat race will start
opposito the A street dock, before
what Is confidently expected to be tho
largest crowd that over lined the
planking. Tho lace, It Is figured out
to a nlcoty, will bo within a fraction
of twenty-flvo miles, from Marshfield
to the red buoy No. 3 at tho end of
the old jetty at tho harbor's entrance,
and return. Arrangements aro com
pleted for carrying all who desire to
watch tho speed contest. Tho Flyer
will carry passengers over tho route
and all who go will be in full sight
of tho raco for tho entire distance.
Tho Eaglo will also make tho run
and she will keep up with the pro
cession. Many interesting things have de
veloped In connection with tho race.
Mr.-Stephen Rogers, owner of tho
Express, does not favor Sunday
sport, and tho boat was chartered
for tho day beforo ho became aware
of what tho game was.
J. O'Kolly, it is said, has been out
trying his boat for several days, get
ting her in the be3t running order.
Tho other side says ho had tho Bo
nlta on the way3 night before last
and treated her to a coating of grease
and graphite. This, according to the
opposition, will give tho boat a speed
of at least an extra mile each hour
of the running. Perhaps tho Ex
press may be Introduced to the same
treatment beforo tho race is sent off.
Tho stakes are in tho hands of
Cell Ireland, and each side Jias post
ed $105. Outside betting is not
so fast as it was expected to be, but
with tho boats lined up for tho start,
thero will no doubt bo many who
will loosen up and place bets. It Is
given out by the Express adherents
that a thousand dollars aro ready
for betting whenever tho enemy de
sires to tako It.
As In all sporting events, some
talk has been Indulged to an extent
suggesting a possible flim-flam of the
sporting fraternity, but ono need but
remember tho matters Involved and
ho will soon lose any suspicion of
anything queer. Tho Exprtss is the
pride of the Holland boat-building
establishment, and W. W. Holland
will have charge of her In the race,
Tho Bonlta was built by Max Timrnor
man, and he Is as jealous of his repu
tation as tht Hollands. He is inter
ested In theraco, and therefore, one
would have to look beyond any plaus
ible theory for crooked work.
Mr. O'Kolly will be In charge of his
boat, and with" tho aid of stveral ex
ports, hopes to make an easy win
ning. He will carry several persons
during the race, among them being
representatives of tho Times.
' The Express management had in
vited a number to accompany this
boat, but yesterday afternoon the
word wont out that there would bo
no passcngors outside tho regular
crew necessary to handle the craft.
Wattr ballast will bo nsed Instead.
Tho Bonlta was built by Max Tim
morman, and was launched about
three weeks ago. She Is 48 feet 3
Inches In length and has a 9-foot
beam, with a 40-Inch depth. She
carries a Holliday 30-horse-powor
gasoleno engine.
Tho Expros was built by the Hol
land Brothers, and has been in com
mission about a month. Sho is 40
feet in length, 10 foot beam, 13 feet
on deck. Sho carries a Standard
30-horse-powor gasoleno engine.

It's The Biggest Star Says
Redlight Preacher Hell
is In Sun.
THREE HEAVENS lll. ALL
Say the Highest Heaven Is Mndc of
Tho Very Finest Mntcrlnls
Imaginable.
Washington, July 20. ''Tho third
heaven, tho highest of all, tho abid
ing place of God, is on tho star
Alcyone, immeasurably larger than
any other known body, lnrgor than
the sun so many times that to make
an estimate is an exercise for the
mathematician 'rather than the
theologian. Hell is In the sun, nnd
everything outsido hell Is either
haeven or a part of the heavenly
system."
The Rev. Zed Helxel Coppe, pastor
of Bethany chapel, in tho redlight
district, is authority for tho above.
"Paul says ho was taken up to the
third heaven," said Coppe in explain
ing his addition to the geography of
tho supernatural regions, Thero are
threo heavens: First, tho natural
heaven, the canopy above tho earth;
second, paradise, and, third, the
haeven of heavens, or abiding place
of Jehovah. t
"Scientists know that thero is a
planet or star around which all other
stars and planets, not only our own
solar system, revolve. That is the
star Alcyone. If science calls that
star tho center of the universe, "why
may not theologists do likewise?
God, the creator and law-giver,
naturally and religiously, might be
expected to havo His abodo in a cen
tral place from which to rule all the
rest of His creation.
""Now, as to the composition and
social order of tho highest heaven.
Undoubtedly It is made of the finest
materials; so fine that It may be
imagined as a combination of all the
colors ever seen by the human eye
nnd as pleasing to tho senses as all
tho perfumes of earth and all the
music of all tho birds joined to
gether, Inexpressibly beautiful, it
may well be suggested that the
stones we call gems on earth aro but
waste pieces of tho celestial struc
tures. In this plnce tho Inhabitants
are beings of the highest rank, but
llttlo lower than divinity Itself,
clothed with majesty, power and
learning.
''For the second heaven, commonly
called paradise, I havo no precise lo
cation. It Is probably located out
side tho present- solar system, but
where I have no idea. It Is a state
of rest, peace, joy, gladness and con
tentment, where thero Is a restora'
tlon of man to His image as he loft
tho hand of his creator, without anjr
of tho human frallltes; a restoration
to the orlglnalAdamatlc stage.
"Paradise is moro liko a kinder
garten, where tho spiritual man goes
for education beyond that which en
ables him to control and subdue the
flesh. When we got thero wo are as
babes In comparison with thoso who
have gone boforo."
