Much complaint is being made of that

At Readville, Mass., Saturday, August
28th, the long expected two-minute
horse came to the front and placed the
record three-quarters of a second below
that long attempted mark. The dis
patches give the following account of the
making of the record :
Accompanied by a rnnner, the big bay
Tennessee-bred stallion wiped out the
mark and bad three-quarters of a second
to spare when he went under the wire.
This wonderful performance was wit
nessed by about 8000 pereons. It web
the more wonderful for on Friday Joe
Patchen, with Geers behind him, bad
made a try at the mark made by Jobn
R. Gentry last October, and had failed
by a second and a half. Because of this,
it was not thought that his greatest
rival in the race line would get down be
low the even time-mark.
The day was perfect for record-breaking.
Not a breath of air was stirring
when at 4 o'clock the horse came out
with a running horse to make the trial
for a world's record. The first two
scores were not satisfactory to McCleary
and he worked the horse way down be
low the turn. The second score was
even worse than the first, for while at
scarcely a two-minute clip be went to a
break right under the wire. This made
the friends of the horse more than a
trifle nervous. The horse was acting as
if a little sore and not np to the task.
But the third time down there was no
hesitancy. McCleary nodded tor the
word, and off the pacer went.
The first quarter was at a two-minute
gait, thirty seconds, and then, as Mc
Cleary called on his pacer to move, there
as a great cheer, for he was beating
wo minutes and got to the half in
59?4, with the second quarter in
29?4. The third quarter was the fast
est of the mile, the distance being cov
ered in 0 :29J seconds,. a 1 :57 gait. '
Around the turn Pointer seemed to
waver the smallest fraction of a second,
but McCleary had him right almost be
fore one could think, and he straight
ened out into the stretch, the runner
moving up closer. Both pacer and run
ner were asked to step along. McCarthy
laid the whip on the runner, but Mc
Cleary only spoke a word of. encourage'
ment to his horse.
At the drawgate Pointer was reefed a
little, and, coming stronger from the
distance, the great pacing stallion ap
peared to freshen in the last few strides,
gathering fresh courage as he neared the
wire, and finished like a lion in the rec
ord-breaking time of 1 :59J.
A mighty shout wentnp. Men yelled
as though possessed. In the grandstand
the owner of the horse had his band
wrung nntil it ached. Over the fences
jumped men who knew the horse and
driver, or who were carried away with
the enthusiasm of the moment.
Hardly had McCleary brought the
the horse to a standstill before they had
him on their shoulders, and be was
borne along the stretch to the judges'
stand and there, as the band played
"Hail to the Chief," he was introduced
to the throng, and then renewed ap
plause for horse, owner and trainer
rang out.
A fairer mile was never timed. There
was not a watch in the stand but what
agreed with the time announced, while
on the other side of the stretch, the
watches in the grandstand caught it
equally faBt or better, not one slower.
C. W. Marks, also of Chicago, the
owner of the greatest rival of Pointer,
looked at his watch earnestly and then
remarked :
"If anything, the mile was faster
rather than slower. It was a 1 :59 per
formance." The summaries :

Congressional Visitors.
The Dalles City arrived from Portland
yesterday afternoon, making a special
trip for the congressional party, consist
ing of Congressmen Hooker of New
York an'd Ellis and Tongue of Oregon.
Congressman Sherman, also of New
Tork. was to have been of the party,
but sickness prevented. The Commer
cial Club had arranged for the recogni
tion of , the visitors here, among other
things an engine and car being provided
for carrying the party as far as Celilo,
that all might see the character of the
obstructions to navigation, but in some
manner this part of the program mis
carried, though Mr. Hooker was taken
up on an engine. He being the chair
man of the committee on rivers and
harbors, was very anxious to have a per
sonal knowledge of the condition's here
