I LINCOLN. api, I. special. At tha
delate tulr ground track toaay, down a solid
line of pvopie, Cresceus lowered tha world a
trotting record fur a mil on a half-mlla
track oae-haif second. Hie time was 2:081,
reducing his own record ftom 1:0 V. For
tbe mlie, by quarters, his time was: 0:U,
1:04. M. He was paced by an
automobile and two running-males, on
of the latter Joining in on the home-stretch.
At the conclusion 4f the race Cresceus
and his driver and owner, George Kelchem,
were smothered In a crowd of thousands,
who cheered and yelled and covered them
with flowers. The horse stood through It
all without showing excitement or concern.
Ths raoa was made under circumstances
, that were anything but favorable. Thous
anda of people thronged the track for tha
entire circuit and all efforts to remove
them completely were fruitless. The horse
trotted down a lane of people that reached
ten feet outride the track.
Before the race Cresceus was sent around
the track several times, of which no record
was kept. The automobile was then brought
out for a warming up and this was used to
great advantage to clear the middle of the
track. Then came Old Jlka, tha racer.
When the people had been worked up to
the highest pitch possible, scrambling and
fighting for vantage ground to see ths
horse, tha start was made. In a little over
two minutes It was over, but every man
rot his money's worth. The start was
made with Cresceus and Old Mike slightly
In the lead and the automobile bringing up
tha rear. To the quarter pole they went In
a bunch, the machine gradually closing the
distance between them. Near the born
stretch J. R. Couch, driven by Charley
Scully, got In the race, and the four fln
lahed tha first half with no vislbla dlffer
no between them. The people went wild.
They cbeeered and yelled and cried and
TCreraea. x ney- scrambled errer tha fence
and pushed and hauled and fought for a
glimpse of the sorrel streak. And that
was an they gotr
i On eond half Cresceus trotted
' butifully. His long- neck was stretched
out; his ears pointing straight ahead, his
, nostrils distended. He was a wight t-t
warm ths heart of tha horseman. The
four turned tha home stretch In a bunch
and not a throat was sail as they neared
the wise. Scully's horse oame a noae ahead
and then Cresceus, Old Mike and tha ma
chine together.
Bedlam broke loae to stop for an Instant
to listen to tha Judge's report. When It
(ame tha track was Instantly a saa of
people. Horses and sulkies that had coma
out after Cresceus had passed were cov
ered up. Men. woman and child rea crowded
over each other to get one mora look at
tha horse and his aw tier. -

breaking his own and tha world's record,

record of attendance at tha Bute fair.
Late this evening K was estimated that
si.000 people had passed through the gates
At the raoa track tha grandstand was filled
clear to tha fanoa, tha quarter stretch was
Jammed and packed elear around tba
rack: people were backed up against
tha fence insids ths track and extended
out fully ten feet on one side. The top

commanded a sight of the grounds were
lined with people. A string of freight ears

a the sides. And all this time the grounds
I were comfortably filled. The grandrtand
began to fill about noon and by 1: nearly
avery available space was In use. Not
withstanding this, ticket were still sold
and people kept coming In. This forced
the management to allow them to crowd
Into tha quarter stretch and Into the track.
It was the largest crowd In ths history of
ths fair, not excepting the day J. I c.
Was here In US7.
Mspls had a long wait for the great
fnee, far It was 4:10 before the word to go
was siren. Durlna- this time thev were
well entertained with other races. In the
I-year-old and under race King Airy, driven
- by Fred Re bare and Wllber, driven by
Ben net. collided and both were upset,
f though neither horse nor man was Injured
t: trith the exception of a bad shaking up.
f V TTlIbar had won two heats and King Airy
one and they were doing the first half
on the fourth. When nearlng the stretch,
Xing Airy broke and Wllber dashed into
him. The two sulkies went Into the sir
and man and horses rolled over together.
They remained on the ground long enough
for Drift Allerton and Charley Cotton to
peas and then the crowd rushed to the
fallen ones. They were hastily rushed off
tha track In time for the other two horses
to finish. A wheel was torn from WUbar's
sulky and that was the only damage done.
Both Bonnet and Robare said the affair
was an unavoidable accident.
The weather today was Ideal, just a little
braese to stir things. The track was never

Falls to Oaurry PalaC
The somewhat musty matter ef apectAoa-
tlons for asphalt brick, bituilthlo and
macadam paving was before tha council
again last night but no progress was made
toward ending the long drawn out contro
versy.
When Chairman Back of tha paving and
sewerage committee brought In an extended
report attacking In detail the specifications
drawn by City Engineer Rosewater and
covering the whole paving question as In
an essay. President Ztmman consigned the
chair to Vice President Nicholson and took
tha floor. Ths best he could do waa to
have the report re-committed Instead of
sending tbe specifications back to tha Board
of Publlo Works, as Chairman Back pro
posed. In brief, ths report attacked the asphalt
specifications on the grounds that they
are not broad enough and are different
from those used at Washington, D. C: the
brick specifications because the test Is too
severe, and tha macadam specifications be
cause they are drawn so as to require too
expensive a pavement Further, the com
mittee advised that the words "city engi
neer" be stricken from the sneclficatlone
and tbe words "the Board of Public Works"
substituted wherever possible, leaving all
matters of Judgment in the execution of
tha work te the board.
Faaetaree Back's Pesltlea.
Zlmman politely "roasted" Coundlman
Back and told hlra that ha had plainly
violated the Instructions of the council
when the members directed him to report
favorably. on the engineer's specifications
and to reject those furnished by the con
tractors. He satirised the deep-sounding
phrases of engineering lore with which the
report abounds and said it was passing
strange that the judgment and knowledge
of the city engineer should be called Into
question In Omaha when It Is sought for by
larger cities, by scientific publications and
has been In demand' for certain public
works In Europe. Zlmman said he did not
believe the council had anything to do but
to reject or accept specifications, and had
no business sending them back to tha
Board of Public Works.
Ths attack on his handiwork aroused
Engineer Rosewater to defense, and ha told
the council at length what eminent authori
ties his specification are based upon.
It Is time to act" said President Zlm
man. "It is time for the council to make
it plain to the paving contractors that they
hare no business making suggestions re
garding saeclflcations to the Board of Pub
lic Works. They may either take the con
ditions we lay down or reject them. That
fsr as their discretion goes in ths
matter."
It was only after the council had twice
voted on the question that Zlmman suc
ceeded In carrying his paint and having the
specifications recommitted.
