THREE FASTEST HEATS
Remarkable Performance of
Star Pointer.
BEAT ROBERT J. AND FRANK AGAN
Lowered the World' Record for tha
Fastest Heat Ever Paced, and
Might Have Done Better. -
- Medfobd, Mass., Sept. 18. Star
Pointer, at Mystic Point, thia afternoon;
not only beat two accredited faster
horses Robert J. (2 :01J) and Frank
Agan (2:03) but paged the three fast
est heats ever made in competition, the
time being 2:02)4, 2:03 nd 2:03, an
average of 2 :03J. He also lowered the
world's record for' the" fastest heat ever
paced- -2 :02, as well as tbe records
for the fastest quarter and half 29
and 69, respectively.
The race between the three pacers
was phenomenal, for, while in tbe first
heat ' Robert J. was beaten by ten
lengths, in the next two he was close on
the leaders, coming in second in the
third heat. Frank Agan in the whole
race was never a length behind, and at
one time was a nose to, the good. Star
Pointer, however, managed to- goonder
the wire first in every heat, and must
have had something in reserve, for Mc
Gleary never raised bis whip in tbe
three times.
It was shortly after 2 o'clock when the
gong rang for the pacers. : Robert J. was
the favorite, 100 to 200, with Agan, 65 to
200, and Star. Pointer, 35 to 200. Star
Pointer had the pole, and, after two at
tempts,' the threee were sent away well
bunched. The pace from the start was
terrific,, much too fast for Robert.. J.,
who dropped . behind the other two,
being five lengths In the rear at the first
quarter, which, was made in 29 seconds.-
Pointer and Airan were neck and
neck all the way down the back stretch
making (he half in 59; with Robert J
still farther. behind. The three-quarter
pole-was reached in 1:31, with Pointer
still in the lead, and, notwithstanding
tbe fact-that McCarty applied the whip,
the son of Flora could not reach Pointer,
and the two rushed.' under the wire in
tbe record-breaking ' time- of 2:02Vj,
Robert J. being ten lengths behind.
The second heat was still more excis
ing, Frank Agan poked his nose in front
of Pointer in tbe back stretch, but it was
onljt for a. moment, and, with a;, little
burst of speed, Pointer soon regained his
: place! Robert, J. showed up much bet
ter in this heat, and was close on Agan
all the way through. .The quarter was
made in 31, the half in 1:02, the third
quarter in 1 :33 aud the mile in 2 :03.
In the third heat, Pointer led from the
start, but Robert J. managed to over
take Agan at the three-quarter pole and
last furlong was the most exciting of the
whole day. Pointer, however, won the
heat and race by a nose, in 2:03, mak
ing the quarter in 30, the half 1 :01
ana toe three-quarters in l:3z.
A Unique Kplstle.

letter from the; emperor of China to
President Cleveland, which 'formed.. the
credentials of Li Hung Chang, has been
placed on exhibition in the library of
the department of state. The ! tter is

parchment paper about five feet in
lengtn Dy a toot ana a nait in width, a
portion being in ancient Chinese and
part in -Chinese characters with the

graph in the center. The envelope . is
unique, being a great sheet of yellow
satin embroidered in gold and silver,
with, exquisite workmanship, with five
large Chinese double dragons, .conven
tionally arranged.
1 Maeeo Near Ftnar Del Bio.
Havana, Sept. 187 The rebel leader,
Maceo. has left his stronjrhold in the
' mountains, and is encamped with a large
lorce on the Danes estate, south of Pinar
del Rio City. An attack on that city is
momentarily expected.
It is rumored here that Captafn-Gen
eral Weyler will soon take command of
: the Spanish forces in Pinar del Rio, with
. the intention of expelling Maceo from
the province. If true, bard fighting is
expected.' The Cuban chiefs have de
termined to make any sacrifice-to effect
tJaptian ueneral Weyler's capture. ; . y
THE M'KJNLEY CLUB.
Concluded from Third page.
to be a miserable subterfuge 'for a na
tional policy. "It is as strange as it is
true that hundreds of Republicans in
Oregon have forgotten the lesson of the
past three years, and etill persist in
playing with tbe fire that burned them.
It is to these citizens that McKinley
spoke when be said, 'better open mills
than open mints.' " '
The speaker then touched lightly upon
tbe financial question, and in closing
said: "We have, come, tonight three
hundred strong to aid in deciding that
this country,' which had its birth in
1776, and straggled for existence through
the turbulent years succeeding, shall
not perish through the ignorance or
cupidity of a portion of; its population ;
and, in the words of the immortal
Lincoln, let as 'here highly resolve that
the government of the people, for the
people, and by the people, shall not
perish from the earth.' "
Mr. Wilson's concluding peroration
brought forth thunderous cheers. When
tbey bad subsided he made known the
fact, which again made the roof quake,
that the ro9ter for the new McKinley
club, with only two days circulation, has
enrolled upon it 347 names, which with
but one or two exceptions were names
of our townspeople. He then called up
on and introduced to the audience Hon.
J, W. Ivey of Portland. Mr. Ivey was
so unfortunate as to be suffering from a
very sore throat, which precluded his
making any extended remarks. He in
formed the audience that he had recent
ly returned from a ' prolonged -trip
throughout Crook county, making Prine
ville tbe base of operations,' and that
after having canvassed pretty thoroughly
tbe entire county, he was confident that
Crook county would give . 300 majority
for McKinley and Hobart.
The interest there for Republican suc
cess was deep-rooted. ' He regarded the
issue this year- as the most important
since 1864. Mr. Ivey begged to be ex-'
caeed from making any ' extended re
marks owing to the raw condition, of his
throat, but promised to appear later be
fore a Dalles audience, when' he would
consume an entire evening. Mr. Ivey
was honored with enthusiastic cheering.
President Wileon then announced that
it would be in order, to the end -that a
reorganization of the McKinley club be
made, that new officers should be nomi
nated, and suggested that since this was
a business men's campaign, that some
business man be chosen for president..
' Sheriff Driver nominated. Mr..i Geo.
Ruch, and Mr. Menefee nominated Mr.
L. E. Crowe. Mr. Ruch declined and
Mr. Crowe was nominated by acclama
tion. s' ,-" . - -
For vice president MrB..S. Hunting
ton nominated MrJ David-, Creighton,
Baying he would nominate of the class
claimed by the Bryan element the farm
ers. ' For secretary - Mr. G. J. Farley
was nominated by Mr. F. W. Wilson
and Mr. A. M. Kelsey for assistant sec
retary by Mr. C. L. Phillips. . .
On motion of Mr. B. 8. Huntington, a
committee of five were appointed by the
chair, an executive and finance commit
tee, of which president and secretary
were ex-officio members, the committee
to choose a treasure for the club,
Tbe business of tbe evening being thus
completed, Mr. W. H. H. Dutur was
called upon, who responded in a vigor
ous speech of some ten minutes length.
Mr. Dafur'a opinions were valuabln be
cause of bis convictions as a silver Re
publican and the interesting fact is noted
that like thousands of other Republicans
who have been friendly to the white
metal, he will not compromise the na
tion's prosperity and honor by continu
ing a Democratic .administration. His
speech was mainly on tariff lines, and he
quoted the period of 1837 which was one
like the present a period of business
stagnation caused by the adoption of
free trade. ' - - -.
Mr. -Hugh Gourlay was the next
speaker. For about 20 minutes be held
the closest attention of the audience.
He pleaded an intense earnestness for
Republican success;' Mr. Gourley de
nounced the- course of cetajn. Demo
cratic newspapers In publishing alleged
mistatements, among them the quota
tion from Blaine, and more recently tbe
statement of a local daily concerning the
Goodyear Rubber Co., which the speak
er denounced aSj false, and has been
shown to be false -through tbe columns
.of the Oregonian. He regarded the
election of McKinley as practically over
and we are only waiting for the returns.
At the conclusion ' of his remarks he
called for three cheers for McKinley and
Hobart, which were given with right
good will, and the meeting adjourned.
