At Terre Haute, Ind., the world’s

trotting or pacing, was lowered Wednesday
when Nancy Hanks trotted the mile in 2:04.

stretch for the start. ~ x hte
Coniing like s whirlwifid down the stretch
Abe was at her wheel, and Doble nodded
for the word. The clip was a terrific one.
She was at the eighth in 15% seconds and at
the quarter in 31 seconds. The second, an
*up-hill"” quarter, was done in 31% seconds,
the half being reached in 1.023. The'excited
crowd began to cheer, butat a word of
admonition from the judge ‘lapsed
sileuce. This was only or by murmur-
ed “'oh’s” when. the third quarter was done
in 29% seconds.
Even the judges were appalled at the
wonderful Join of speed or thought the
for a moment after the little -mare passed
under the wire, and even Doble, always
modest of speech, declared when carried to
the Judge's stand on the shoulders of the
crowd and called upon for a speech:
“I am hoarse, and Nancy Hanks went so
fast it took my breath away.”

Even her light hoof beats sounded loud to
the silent crowd. As Doble gathered her
for the final effort he touch her gently
with the whip, gave two of those masterful
lifts of his, and the world s record, either
pace or trot, was lowered 1} seconds, and
the record for a regulation track 3 seconds.
The excitenient over thre great mile did
not really begin until evening, when the
crowds gathered about the hotels. Neally
every noted driver in the country is here,
and all are unanimous in declaring that it
was the most wonderful mile ever 'donme.

congratulation from ull over the country.

This is a gentle hint that the owner of
Maud Sand Sunol can present him the
$5,000 offered for the tirst horseto trot a
mile in 2.05 over a regu'ation track. Mr.
Doble said this evening that too much credit
could not be given Ben Rennes, who
brought out Nancy Hanks and gave her her
first race record.
Doble was questioned about the
to-day. and asked if he thenght
reached her limit. He said that the track
Tus Jus right, the mare was just right and
the driver was at himself. Asto the i-
bilities of Nancy lowering ber record. be
thought that as she is only six years old,
that she would train on next year and be a
far faster mare than now.
There was no variance in the time, ana
once more the regulation track holds the
record. Another proof that this course is
suited for extreme speed was furnished im-
mediately atter-when Monbars lowered the

THE LAW FOR IT.
The law under which the proceeding is
brought is th - Crimes act ot 186). ‘There
are said 10 have been a number of prosecu-
tions under the same act. ‘The first section
of it reads as follows. i
“If any person, owing allegiance to t.e
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, shall levy
war against the same, or shall adhere to the
enemies thereof, giving them aid and com-
tort within the State or eisewhere, and
s: all ve there«f convicted, on confession in
open court or on the tesiimouay of two wit-
ne<ses to the same overt act of the treason
whereof he shall stand indicted, such per-
son shalt on conviction be adjudged guilty
«f treason against the Comnionwealth of
Pennsylvania and be sentenced to pay a fine
not exceeding $2,000 and und-rgo an im-
prisonment by separate and solitary con-
finement at labor, not exceed ng 12 years."
The act further provides that any person
having knowledge of such treason and con-
cealing it, shall be imprisoned not exceed-
ing six years und fined not exceeding §1,000
as guilty of misprision of treason. A long
list of related offenses are declared high mis-
demeanor, and are punishable by fine of
not exceeding $5,000 or $10,000 and impris-
onment not exceeding 10 years. Others are
declared misdemeanor and are punishable
by fine of £500 or imprisonment of 12
months. :
It is believed that the impnrtance of the
charges is the reason tor bnnging them
1 efcre Chief Justice Paxson, us there is
nothing in the act prescribing that an alder-
man could not have issued the warrants.
Soon as the accused are all arrested (a few
of whum aie now in jail), a hearing will be
