Star Pointer Makes the Best llace Mark At Indianapolis. KING OP THE TURF. Paces a Mile Ahead Je Patehen In (he Reaiarlf able Time of 2:01. MAY STAND FOR YEARS. 1 wi race NDIANAPOLI3.

Sept. 14 The world's record was broken here this ernoon by Star Pointer in a match race rith Joe Patehen. The weather waa perfec for the contest between the two. kings of the turf. There waa but ona heat of the race to be finished, each having taken heats on the afternoon previous.

the race going over on account of dark- The track was the best it has been dur ing the week, and the horse were both fit for the race of their lives. In fact. every condition Indicated that the record of held by Patehen and John R. Gentry, would be smashed. The vast crowd was cot disappointed.

They saw a mark that wilL no doubt, stand for years 3:01. Had the black fellow not faltered a bit at the head of the stretch even lower time would have been recorded, as Pointer finished strong with three open lengths of daylight between them. Patehen I the pole, and he set a fast clip to the quarter pole, which was passed In 29. Those who were holding watches en the noble pair were prepared from this for a mark that would startle the world. Patch- en was leading to the back stretch by length when McClary urged Pointer on, and he responded nobly, He crawled up inch by men.

and In a few seconds blanket would have covered the pair. The drive to the half was a beauty. Pointer passing the pole a neck In front of the black fellow In exactly one minute from the time word was given. From this point he gained little by little until at the three- quarters, which was made In 1:30. Dicker- son urged Joe on.

and the noble animal responded, but though he gained slightly. Pointer moved along like a piece of ma chinery In his steady gait that meant for him a victory. Down the stretch Dick- erson applied the whip to the white-nosed favorite, but Pointer gained steadily. Mc Clary laid the whip lightly from the last eighth In. and passed under the wire in the remarkable time of 3:01.

Had Patehen fought him clear out as he did for the first half mile the coveted two-minute race record would without doubt have been touched.

Two private cars from New Tork, one from Philadelphia, one from Cleve land, and others from various points will bring parties of prominent men. and I am Informed that President McDoel, of the Motion railroad system, will bring a party of gentlemen in bis private car. The most serious question to me at present la now we are going to take care of all that come.
