VANCOUVER, B. C, Oct. 22—Local feei- ing is very bitter over the award of the Alaskan Boundary commission. There is much talk of annexation and of Canada be- coming independent. Business men are generally much dissatisfied at what they pronounce British disregard of Canadian interests to please the United States. It is a matter of comment that the loudest amongst the discontented are Englishmen residing here. Many of these say that Can- ada will never achieve its greatest possibili- ties until it becomes & part of the United States. Rev. Elliot 8. Rowe, the leading Metho- dist minister of British Columbia and who, with Chief Justice Hunter, constituted the Labor commissior. which sat this summer in an interview here said: I am a Britisher and I have always been a Britisher, but if Great Britan is to hand | Canada over plecemeal to the United States, | I say let us join the American republic also. | By doing so now we are large enough, op- s CRSaEh rad Imporiant caough 1o Rave something (0 say regarding the terms of such annexation, and aiso wouid be enough to have something to say in the af- fairs of the republic of which we wouid form a part Sut If we wait until our best and richest territory is given away we shall simply be ahso It looks to me as If Ca: had won the case and lost the ter- ritory.

LONDON, Oct. 22—Despite the denial of T. W. Lever of Birkenhesd having any in- tention for the America’s cup, the fact that he has asked George L. Watson if he would undertake the work of design- ing and superintending a cup challenger, is now admitted to be indisputable. Mr. Watson, thus far, has neither definitely declined or accepted and thds, possibly explains Mr. Levers denial as be is not lkely to act without Mr. Watson. The latter's answer may be affected by the fact that a well known Clyde yachts- man, a lfelong friend of Mr. Watson, contemplates challenging, and broached the subject to the yacht designer before Mr. Lever.

CLIPS TIME THREE-FOURTHS OF SECOND Great Demonstration Greets of King te His Own When Makes the Pacin ord 1:56 1-4. MEMPHIS, Tenn, Oct 2—A mile In 13564 was made by Dan Patch today at the Memphis Trotting association's track o a trial against time. The pacer clipped three-fourths of a second from the world's record of 1357, held by Prince Alert. and lowered his own record by two and three- fourths seconds. The mile was paced with- out & wind shield and at the finish Dan Patch seemed fresh and vigorous. The demonstration that greeted the new world's pacing champion as he flashed under the wire was a memorable one. Horss owners who stood about the track before the starter's stand had caught the time with thelr own watches and before the official time was flashed out across the track they set up a shout and threw hats and caps high into the air. The shout was caught up by the people in the grandstand, the space before it and on the club house grounds and the victory of the pacing idol was proclatmed in shouts of applause that reached their climax as Driver McHenry pulled up before the judge's stand and dofted his cap in acknowledgment of the ovation. The trial was made with two runners to set the pace, the sulky preced- ing the pacer carrying a canvas strip be- tween the wheels. The quarter was reached in 0:39, the half in 0:58 and the three-quarters in 1:27% As the horses swung into the stretch Dan Patch was pushing the forward runner 50 closely that scarcely a hand’s breadth intervened between his nose and the back of the driver in the forward sulky. Performance a Surprise. The performance of Dan Patch today in | setting a new world's record was a sur- prise to even his most ardent admirers. The betting on the trial was 3 to § that he would not beat his own record of 1:58. He went the mile with so little apparent exertion that tonight his admirers are pre- dicting that he will still further lower the world's record should he start against it, with weather and track conditions as favorable as they were today. With the excveption of the 2:08 class trot the events of the card went to favorites. In the 2:8 trot Monte Carlo, the favorite, had the second heat at his mercy, only to break and lose it within 100 yards of the wire. Summary: Trotting, 2:10 class, purse $:,000: Wailnut Hall, br. h.
