Amphitheater, paddock and infield woro flllod with spectators to witness tho greatest card of ovents over offered by a trotting association. It was a perfect autumn day, with a gontlo breeze blowing, and tho track v.-as fast Tho groat attraction was tho announcement that Nelson would go to boat Axtoll's timo, 2:13, mado over this track last fall. Abortt 3 o'clock tho great Maino stallion appeared on tho track drlvon by his owner and driver, C. F. Nelson, and was given a warmingup heat in 2:23, tho last quarter in 32TF. A quarter of an hour later tjje purplo cap and jaokot of tho Pino Treo Stato horseman woro soon. A great choor wont up from 10,000 throats as tho peerless stallion with his smooth and frictionless motion camo brushing down tho stretoh. The purple cap was doffed again and again. The second timo down tho word was glvon with tho stallion going smooth and strong with the runner" back. The rate was docoptlvo, but tbo furlong being compassed in :1«% was a pointer totho great efforts that was on. Tho watches split at thirty-two seconds at tha first quarter tho half In 1:04^ tho horso going entirely on his courage. Tho throorquarter polo was made in 1:80X, and as ho swung into tho tjurn for. home ull know that anothor record had goho dowu. Choor after cheer went up as ho flashed under tho wiro in 2:11}^, and the donso throng realized tho importance of tho event The driver, C. R. Nelson, was scarcely permitted to salute tho judges for dismounting orders ore the track was black with a wildly enthusiastic crowd. Nelson was lifted bodily from the sulky and borno aloft on tho should dors of the enthusiasts. The stallion's nock was onclroled with a wroath of flowers, and quite a timo elapsed before the every Inch a king of stallions could bo led from tho track.

U- CENSUS FIOUNKS. AsmjcGTON, Oct 10. Although thero is lots of work yot ahead of tho census oflico, tho greatest interest at presont surrounds tho approaching complotloit of the countof the country. This work Is being rapidly pushed forward and tho results have boon published by counties. The largor towns also havo beon countod, but towns of less than 2,000 people and tho small villages will havo to wait for tho socond oount before thoy can officially know the number of their inhabitants. From the prosont outlook it would appear that there aro. not quito 64,000,000 of us. Thoro aro, however, ovor 63,009,000 of pooplo In the country, aad.an advance of 13,000,000, such as that indicates, during ton yeari is of Itself sulfiaiently extraordinary. Up to tho present timo tho census olBoe has complotod the countof twentyeight States and Territories. Thosogive a total of 3b.701,211 »Tho returns' from the remaining twenty States nre all in and most of thom havo becwi countod. But in oach case thore aro ono or more districts which havo not yet boon figured up, so that the actual figures for the whole States can not yot b« determined. All but six of those are Southern States. A sufficient number of districts in each State l^ave, however, boon counted to afford a rory oloso ostimato of what will be tho totals. Those estimates havo boon figured out ana glvo a total of 24,470,218. This numbor, addod to tho total ef tho twenty-eight States which have beon counted, gives a grand total for tho wholo country of 63,231,428, and it can be confidently assorted that tho final official figures will not vary from this by more than a quarter of a million.
