CLEVELAND, 0.. July 26. Amid tho en
thuelastlc cheers of nearly 10,000 people
CrwcouH, the world champion trotting
ctnlllou, again demonstrated that he U the
peer of nil trotters by trotting n mile thlj
afternoon over tho Glenville track In
2,02. This MtnbllBhcs n new world's res
ord for both sexes, replacing the former
world's record of 2:03V, held by The Ab
bot. Owing to tho heavy rains of last night
thn track was not lu the best of condition
today and It was about 6:30 p. in. before
It was deemed to bo In nafo condi
tion to warrunt making the attempt. At
times tho sun's heat had been replaced by
cool breezes. Even then thero wore few
horsemen who lookod for n mile better than
2 05. After having been slvon several pre
liminary miles, George Ketcham caino out
with tho stallion to attempt what seemed
an lmposslblo feat. Ketchnm nodded for
tho word on tho third score, tho horse
trotting like n machine.
Accompunlid by u runner, the chestnut
stallion fnlrly llnw to tho quarter, the
timers' watches registering Just thirty sec
onds. l)PMilt 1 1 envy I'ikiIIiiu.
As Crcsceus swung Into tho back stretch
ho was Joined by n second runnjr, and al
though many predicted that tho footing
was suth as would retard his speed, ho
reached the half In 1:01. Ah tho time wvs
hung out tho ImtneiiKo crowd broke out In
cheers. The three-quarters pole was
reached In 1:31 and ns the great stallion
trotted Into the stretch, a runner oh tMicr
tide, his machlnn-lltio stride war. fairly
rating up tho distance.
Never onco faltering, notwithstanding the
terrific clip, he fnlrly (lew to tho wire, be
ing sustained only by his Indomitable mur
age, not being touched onco by tho whip,
his solo urging being tho driver's voice
and tho thundering hoof beats of tho ac
companying runners.
As tho tlthV for the. mile was announced
2:02 and tho immense crowd realized
that u new world's record, had been cs.ab
llshod, Kotcham and his favorite stalll' n
received nn ovation such as has been but
teldom witnessed on u raco track. Tluu
ands of pcoplo ruhed out on the track
and Ketcham was lifted from tho sulky and
carried to the grand stand on tho shoulders
of admirers. Cheer after cheer rent tho olr
and tho name of Crescctw was upon the
lips of every one present.
"Kotchcm." "Ketcham," yelled tho crowd
and the owner of tho sturdy son of Robert
McGregor was almost carried to tho Judges'
uland, whoro ho delivered a brief address.
Cresccus now not only holds Iho world's
ironing record for both sexos. but lnm
week at tho Detroit grand circuit meeting
by trotting In 2:0B and 2:05 lu his raco
against Charley Hcrr, Bccured tho world's
record for tho two fastest heats over trotted
In a rat'o, his second rnllo In 2:03, nlso
being a new world's record for the fastest
rnllo ever trotted In a raco, and nlso the
lastcsr second licat ever trotted.

PITTSBURG, July 27. The Post today
will say: A serious sprend of the steel
strike Is now threatened In an unexpected
quarter. From the sheet, steel hoop nnd
tin mills the contest Is expected to rench
out Into the furnaces In the Mahoning and
Shenano valleys and cause n complete
shutdown of those plants, It would throw
many hundreds of men out of employment
and curtail the production of raw material,
as well as the Mulshed 1 lues. From these fur
naces It Is believed that the danger will
threaten with greater force than ever tho
union mills of the National Steel company
throughout Ohio. It It is not checked at
that point Iho same spirit of unionism is
feared to be strong enough to reach once

Opinion In Berlin commercial circles, how

classes, together with a serious Injury to
foreign trade, tariff wars and hindrances
to commercial treaties.

Americans in business in Berlin regard
the trouble as exceedingly bad for Ger
many and the United States, pointing out
that the sharp agitation during the last

The backbone of the hot wave may not
be broken, but It Is a fact that the tem
perature has taken a tumble.
Showers of rain ln various parts of tho
country adjacent to Otunba aro probably
responsible for thu clmnge.
About C o'clock last evening a brisk
wind galloped ocr Omaha for a fev mln

Perature fell from 95 to SO degrees. Later
It dropped to 84.
The maximum temperature of the day
wns nt 4:10 o'clock, when the government
thermometer registered 99.8 degrees.
It was tho ftm day since July 19 when
the maximum temperature was below 102.
Although at no time during tho day was
the temperature equal to that of several
preceding days, there was no diminution
of suffering, for what was lacking In high
thermometer wns more than made up In

Last night was more comfortable nnd
tho individual who lias been having troublo

yesterday had no kick coming, even If
he didn't have choice of position. So far
as recorded there was no call for blankets,
yet steep was more ot a possibility ln any
room with ordlnnry ventilation.
Tho drop of Inst evening may mean tho
dawning of cooler days, but tho weather
man refuses to go on record with such a
prediction. Mr. Welsh was for many years
