THE OMA.ITA DAILV BEE : SUNDAY , MAY 28 , 1809. BAXASTAR WINS ALL ALONE Burst of Speed Ends Brooklyn Handicap with Six Lengths to Spare , RECORD CUT THREE-QUARTERS OF SECOND "Winner COM-I-X C'ourxc Uiulcr llcitvj- Curl ) nnil I.rnrri ( lie I'lplil Knx- lly Wlipti .loeltoy ( lived the Home HIM llcnil. NEW YORK , May 27. Tlio thirteenth run ning of the Brooklyn handicap was an upset , but not so great as It has been In some other years when a rank outsider was the winner , for In spite of the good work done Jjy Banastar and the fast time In hla races this spring , ho vas not as much fancied as ho Khould have been and ho won easily. Lanky Bob was second and the favorite , I'Hlgrano , could do no better than third. I'erfcct weather brought a great crowd to the track. Summer weather In New York City gave place to n shilling wind from the ocean and the sun hail shone brightly during the day , but when the bugle called , the can didates for tbo handicap to the post U had KOIIO under a cloud and everything was dull. It was 4:30 : o'clock when the horses began Iholr parade to the post. Long before the hour for the first event every scat In the grandstand was taken. In the no-cent field the 7,000 tickets that had ticca provided wcro sold out an hour before the first race and the boxes had to "bo " opened nnd the pastcboarda resold. There were ifully 15,000 in the field and at least 10,000 \\ero In the grandstand and paddock. It Is nafo to say that 25,000 people applauded the liorses on the way to the post. There was a break within three minutes , Ibut Don do Ore did not care to Join the Held and so the flag did not fall. For about lialf an hour the sixteen horses maneuvered , Box spoiling ono break , Ocorgo Kccne an other , the winner , Banastar , another nnd Don do Ore another. At laet the starter caught them In line , the red flag swished , the echo Hag dropped , the great crowd cried "They're oft" and the race was begun. George Kcenu was quickest on his feet , for ho Jumped to the front , although the favorite , Flllgranc , showed In front for a second. The western mare , Imp , was quick to break nnd hold second place for nn In stant , but she BOOH dropped back. In the first quarter George Keene nnd Flllgraue wcro showing the way with Bauastnr In third place , only a head behind. The leaders \\ero \ separated by shead. \ . lluiiiinlar tinier HcHtraliit. They passed the grand stand for the first time with Qcorgo Kceno and Flllgrauo Kolng along easily In front a scant length In front of Banastar oil whom Malier had fcomcthlng more than a steadying pull , for It took all his strength to prevent the 4- ycar-old from jumping over the > top of the two leaders. The rest of the lot were bunched with Algol leading them , a length behind Banastar. As they rounded the lower turn Keene and FlTigrane were traveling silotig comfortably and Banastar was Btlll buck-Jumping behind them , showing that he liad a world of speed In reserve. Both Kccno and Klllgrano were running head and head as they btralghtcned out , while Ban astar was a fongth and a half back of them. Algol was still leading the second division , all being close together. On rounding Into the upper turn , Maher on Banastar let out a link or two and before the boys on Kccno and Flligrano know it Banastar was Balling past them as if they were standing still. Banastar suddenly was first nnd , devouring the ground with every stride , bad a commanding lead before the Jockeys on the two leaders had the slightest idea that anything was near them. It was n wonderful burst of speed , llko nothing that had been seen on > the track before , and stamped Banastar at once ono of the highest of high class race horses. In almost the twinkling of nn eye ho had taken a lead of fully six lengths and turning Into the stretch was that distance In front. The crowd yelled llko mad nnd it seemed as If every body had backed the winner. The run through the stretch was nothing , as Banastar was far , far ahead with absolutely nothing to etop him from winning. Maher had him up In his lap to prevent him from making too great an exhibition. KlKliUiiK for 1'lncp. The only semblance of a contest was for place was between the favorlto and Lanky Bob. The 1. Uor , thrco lengths behind the winner , was a length In front of the favorite , who was a couple of lengths In front of Don Do Oro. The time , 2OG\i : , might have been a good bit faster had Maher elected to make it so. The other stake on the card was the Ex pectation for 2-year-olds at four and a half furlongs. Ills Iloyal Highness , though carry ing top weight , was made a hot favorlto at odils-on , but Rlkki Tikki Tavl upset all calculations by winning by a neck In a drive from Vulcan , who was a head before Prince of Melbourne , third. Banastar's time of 2OC : > 4 breaks the record for the Brooklyn handicap , the record of 2:07 : having stood slnco 1S87 , the first year of the handicap , when Dry ( Monopolc. Blue Wing , and Hidalgo ran nose and nose to the most exciting finish ever witnessed. The Brooklyn handicap ia a stake or f 10,000 , of which $8,000 goes to the winner.

The well-known turfman , II. H. Hunn , who has just returned from a trip to the Argentine Republic , gives a Now York re porter an interesting account of the racing in that country. "In regard to their stud book , " said Mr. Hunn , "they date the ages of their horses from the first of August instead of the first of January , as In this country and In England. All their breeding stock has been Imported from England , and whether it ia the climate or the system of handling , tbo horses generally are more on the rakish , leggy order than Is common either here erIn In England , "At Palermo , which is to the city of Buenos Ayres what Morris Park Is to our metropolis , which is an extensive and well equipped racing property , the roaln track being ono and three quarters miles long and 150 feet wide at its narrowest polni. The soil is of a clay formation , smooth and elastic and with but a semblance of locwe soil on top. The grand stand at Palermo U capable of accommodating 20,000 people , and from 30,000 to 50,000 Is the average at tendance , the great days .being Sundays. "Tho betting , which is on an Immense scale ( every ono bets ) is on the Paris mu tual system , the racing association , which Is under the government of the republic , getting 10 per cent of the gross amount handled , "The system of training Is long , slow gallops twice a day boys riding exercise barebacked. "The Jockeys , who are mostly Indian half- breeds , ride with very long stirrup leathers , elttlne In cowboy fashion , but I rarely saw the rider's feet In the stirrup Irons when a race was finishing , the general custom being to throw the stirrup Irons across the horse's withers just as the word go was given , "Tho Jockeys are the worst , I think , to be seen anywhere on the top of the globe. Diaz , a hunchback negro , being the crack of the lot , and our worst operators could give him points , They all ride with curb bits , slmethlng llko a Pclbam bit , but with no enafflo ring or rein. The scale of weights will average ton pounds heavier than with us. Rooming : St. I.onU nxp WICHITA , May 27.

FREDERICK The Hatter The Pioneer Hut Man of the West. 120 South 15th Street WORKING ON THE PROBLEM Western Roads Trying to Get Together on Passenger Rates. AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO BE REACHED Contention that tlio 1'osltlou ANRUIUCI ! liy the Union I'ncillc lit Con- Istcitt anil ItH Demand * . 31 uy lie Conceded. The meeting of the Western Passenger association at Chicago has adjourned until ono week from next Tuesday , when nego tiations will bo resumed and the effort to bring the lines together will bo continued. That the roads are not so far apart as lias been claimed is evident trim the fact that the representatives have not already ad journed permanently , now that they have have been In session over two weeks. Lo cal officials who have returned from the meeting express considerable confidence in the ability of the roads to get together and state that the representatives of all of them are actuated by a sincere desire to bring the lines together on tbo best possible agreement to all concerned. The only dif ferences are as to tbo manner in which this end is to be accomplished. It is not denied , of course , that there are powerful interests opposed to each other and that these will be required to make material concessions before results are reached. It is said that the position taken and still held by tbo Union Pacific is con sistent with Ibat which the road has al ways maintained and that now , perhaps for the first time , this is coming to bo generally understood by its associates. The Union Pacific further is not alone in its position , but on the contrary Is fully supported in all of Its connections here in Omaha and at Kansas City. What the representatives of the Union Pacific demand Is an agreement In writing , complete and definite In all de tails , nnd subject only to Interprctatlojn , not to change , by a central committee. Secondly , the decision of tlio committee , muat bo unanimous ; A number of other roads do not want the agreement so complete and definite In Ha terms. As to the Immigrant side of the question , it has probably been accepted that the Union Pacific will not como into an agreement gov erning that branch of the business. The reasonableness of the position of this road , that a road doing perhapa more Immigrant business than any other should be bound by nn agreement , In the making of which roads that carry Jets than half a dozen Immigrants a year have as much Influence- , may have been conceded by the others , There will bo no committee at work dur ing the recess of the association. If upon coming together again no agreement can be reached the matter will bo referred to offi cials higher up than the passenger men , It la not generally expected that such action will be necessary. WASHINGTON , May 27 , The Baltimore & Ohio Railroad company has placed on record hero today two mortgages , covering all its property , rights and franchises , They cover the largest amount of money of any transac tion ever recorded here.

I had al ready ridden nearly 3,000 miles on my com- panlonloss journey from Pekln to India. The terrors of the G&bl deesrt were fading from my memory. Away on my right lay the high ranges of the Tlanshan , the Heavenly mountains , dividing Chinese Turkestan from Siberia , and along the base of which I had plodded for many hundreds of miles night and day indifferently , in my eagerness to reach my distant destination. And now , ad I it listlessly on my pony , travel worn , dust-covered and weary , I eaw In the far distance before me , high In tbo sky and apparently unconnected with the earth , a long strip of purest white , even as a level on Its lower sldo and jagged on Us upper.

And so , indeed , It seemed , looked at from the level plains of Turkestan , and to as cend these mountains was to all appear ance like climbing from the floor to the flat roof which formed the upper etory of tbo Turkestan houses around me.

And Interesting as It is from Its purely physical aspect , from the wild grandeur of Us scenery , the mighty glaciers "which fill its valleys , the eternal snows which clothe the mountain sides and the fantastic beauty of Its spotless peaks , it Is Btlll more interesting through the people who press around It. From the banks of the Oxus , to which it gives birth , arose the great Arjan race , which spread over all Europe , Persia and India , and some of the pure descendants of which are to this day still living In the se cluded valleys of this region , while on its eastern borders dwelt the Scythian or Tar tar tribes , who also swept In waves of im migration to India and joined in tbo tem pestuous inroads upon Europe. Today \\o witneas the great reflex move ment the return wave. The vast Russian nation irresistibly rolling downward from the north , the far-reaching British extending their dominion upward from the south , while between these two active races the Impassive Chinese , who for a time had gained n footing In the Roof pf the World , bid fair to bo pressed out altogether. What sort of a region , then , is this for the dominion of which three empires con tend ? Of what value Is It to cither ? Who are the present inhabitants and whose au thority do they acknowledge ? Those wcro the questions which I set myself to answer on the three separate visits I paid to the Pamirs from 1SS9 to IS91. In the first place the region of the Pamirs Is not a plateau , as has so often been Im agined probably because It was so marked on many mass but Its valley bottoms are generally Hat , often from four to flvo miles broad , and lying at elevations varying from 12,000 to 15,000 'feet above sea level. From these valleys the mountain ranges on either side rise to heights of from 3,000 to 0,000 feet , while in a few exceptional cases the giant mountains tower up to a total height of 23,000 and 25,000 feet above the sea. So elevated a region is of course Intensely cold. IJvon in the summer there Is scarcely a month together which Is free of frost and In tlio winter the temperature descends to 20 , 30 and 40 dcgiees below zero , Fahrenheit. Nowhere cleo have I felt such a cold as there , and Lord Dunmoro , who has had ex perience of Russian , Arctic and Canadian cold , says that the Pamir cold , temperatures being equal. Is worse than any. This I felt to bo duo to the rarefaction of the atmos phere , which of itself exhausts one and diminishes the energy available for the re sistance of abnormal temperature. Yet there are hardy nomadic races who permanently Inhabit this Inhospitable re gion , driving about their flocks from place to place and pitching their round felt kl- bltka tents wherever a sufficiency of grass for their animals and brushwood fuel for domestic purposes may bo found. No cul tivation ia , of course , possible on the Pa mirs proper , and It is only on the out skirts , where broad valleys , to which the term Pamirs Is applied , have biopcd down ward Into lower altitudes and con sequently warmer regions , that there Is any profit to bo obtained from tilling the soli. Dut the hardy Kirghiz of the Pamirs scarcely require produce of the land. They are quite content to Jive for weeks and months together upon little clso than what THE FACT.
