Fast Mile by Robert I.
Fine weather and an attractive pro-
gram drew the largest attendance of
the meeting of the big c1rcuit races at
Fort Wayne, Ind.. yesterday. Five
thousand people were present. The
great attraction was Robert J., the
pacing king, who was sent to beat the
track record of 2: 03%, made by himself
August 21, 1894, when he first put the
mark for harness speed below 2 0.4 At
4 o'clock the great pacer was started,
with Ed. Gears up. Paced by a thor-
oughbred he left the wire at a pretty
clip, keeping his stride all the way
round and finishing in 2:03. The time
for the quarters was: 31%}, 1:02, 1:32,

A WAGER WON BY CHEEK.
How a Yale Student' Won 3 Pretty
Girl.
A11 exceedingly pretty young lady
passed three students at Lake Whitney
one afternoon last week. ,On compar-
ing notes the students found that one
knew her name, the second had seen
her at last year’s promotion and the
third was a stranger.
The third member of the group was
Jones, ’96, and the young lady Miss B
—. Jones made a wager with the
other members of {the group that he
would have a skate'with the young lady
in question before the afternoon was
over.
J onesleft the group and went in the
direction of Miss B. When within a.
few feet of her he stopped and with a
surprised look exclaimed:
“I beg your per-don, but is this not
Miss B?’ .
‘Why, yes, but I really do not—”
and before she could finish, he said: '
“Now, you don’t remember me. Why
I think I had two dances with you at
the prom last year. Don’t you remem-
her Mr. Smith. gave me an introduc-
tion?”
Miss B. in a perplexed state of mind
hesitated. He would not have spoken
unless they had met before, she thought.
Then, as if to make up for her hesita-
tion, she exclaimed.
“Why, yes, I suppo so he did. You
must excuse my forgetting you, there
were so many there” that night. Par-
don me,” she continued, “but I do not
recall your name?”
“Oh, Jones,” was the reply, and ac-
cording to the story the two spent an
enjoyable afternoon.
The names used in this story as given
in the New Haven Register are fictiti-
ous, but the facts are true, The young
lady who was imposed uglon by Jones is
evidently looking over or prom pro-
gramme to find the name of Jones.
