fit RACE

There was lets crowd, tome lew dressing and lets sunlight at the races yesterday, bat more excitement, more betting and moro uncertainty than on the opening day of the meeting. The contests were not inch "sore things' for the favorites, and the ''bookies'' got most of the coin of the irowd. The scorching sun at noon, combined with tb poor transportation facilities, waa . the chief factor In making the difference In the numbers assembled. Under that broiling glare people were not overanxious to sit in that grand-stand and face Sol's ' blistering rays nil afternoon. Fortunately . it did not continue long. Before S o'clock the sky clouded and the atmosphere became delightfully cooL Barring a iovr drops of rain, which did nqdamage to the track, the weather-makers acted very handsomely. There were something oyer two thousand ipeotators on the ground, however, which is a very respectable erowd for an Indiana race-track. And they were highly entertained. The close races and the betting did not furnish the only excitement. The little panio in the grand-stand, caused by the wind-storm, and rain of falling shinvies, and the unexpected runaway of the arm teams, accompanied by a remarkable escape of a farm-hand, caused more commotion than any close finish of. the day. The meeting is now, beyond perad venture, a financial success. With the gatemoney of , Tuesday , and yesterday the driving club can- pay. out, and anything they get to-day and to-morrow will be clear "velvet." This success has determined the club upon attempting a tendays' running meeting next spring, which will bo the groat turf event of the year in Indiana. It will be opened with the "Indiana Derby," which, it is hoped, will be one of the permanent institutions of the Btate. There have never been running meetings worth mentioning in Indiana, and the "bang-tails" have had little show u these parts, but the Indianapolis .club will make the venture, and will have a clear Held in the State. Purees sufficient tn lirlnep rrrt V nraoa will Via fintif r r an4 tioosiers will have a chance to view a few "boss races as is boss races." THEY'RE OFF AGAIN. I lecond Day's Races Furnished More Sur prises than Those of Tuesday. The crowd did not begin to arrive yesterflay until 1 o'clock, and the hour or more that elapsed before starter Frank Walker pushed the button, and the electrio gong did the rest, was spent by. the spectators, or rather those of the sterner gender, in prancing about in the broiling sun looking for "tips" to beat the book-makers. They found a mixed state of affairs. The 2:40 pace was first on the card, -with Laura Belle as the favorite. Then lome "swipe" came dodging through the irowd with the announcement that Fred Douglass was going to start.' He was not on the score-c&xd, tat as nothing in particular is on that ecoro-card, this didn't count for much. The rumor was denied and revived again, and the crowd was kept in ft itate of uncertainty until the borsea were tailed to the post. Douglass was among lb em, and immediately; the bulk of the . coin was loaded upon him at even money against the Geld, consisting of Laura' Belle, Lady M., George Hayes, McWiddie, Touch-Me-Not, T. J. McGuire, Zigler and Laurel. Laura Belle got the polo in the drawing, with Toucb-Me-Not next to h-sr and Douglass in third place. The track was in the ery pink of condition. After sooring onco. the bunch came down almost in a dead line and got the word. A tight for blood began at once between Laura Belle and Douglass, with the rest strung out behind in one, two, three order almost before they were away from the wire. Laura Belle kept the pole, and was neck and neck with Donglass arouud the first turn and into the doep cut of the back-stretch. When they emerged and started for the three-fourths the favorite had the advantage of half a length, but the bay mare did not give up the race by any means. They moved in precisely this position to the stretch, but a few seconds after the battle royal bgan it was seen that the mare was outclassed, and she dropped int the ruck behind Douglass's sulky. Thenceforward the leader had an easy thing of it and camo in under the wire as he pleased, with Laura Belie a closa second, -George Hayes third. Zigler fourth and Lady M., to the surprise of her admirers, in sixth place. Touch-Me-Not, whom the jockeys had declared a few days ago was good lor place, at least, came trailing in eighth and Laurel never got past the Hag. The mile was made in 2:27 V. THOUGHT THE PAVILION WAS GOING, It looked tor awhile as though the race wrrild end, so far as yesterday was concerned, with the first heat, for just as the electric bell sounded for the second heat the clouded sky became more threatening, and it began to blow great guns. The roofers have not quite finished their work on the grand-stand, and there were loose bunches of shingles lying about on the ssantling. The wind raised these and sent them sailing and lluttering down among the crowd oc the chairs.. Now, the sensation of being struck on the bead by a dying shingle in a wind-storm, when in a rather frail-looking structure, is anything but soothing to the nerves, and an incipient panic began right there, though the crowd was too much scattered throughout the building to make tho rash look dangerous, as the people began scurrying out into tne open. Frank: Walker grasped the situation at a glance, and his stentorian voice at onco arrested the attention of the crowd. He assured them that there was no danger, and explained the cause of the liyipg shingles. The scare was over in another moment and the crowd settled down to see if Fred Douglass would win again. After acoupleof scores they were off, with Douglass. Laura Belle and George Hayes on an even line. They paced in a bunch to the first turn whare Laura Belle succeeded in getting tb pole. She held it but a moment, however, for Douglass andTouch-me-Not wre nose and nose at her haunches and'there was a hot tight between the three M they entered tho back stretch. Donglass was the victor of this bout, but apparently he had been urged too hard for he left his feet lust as they started for the half, and Touch. me-Xot lorged ahead. As they emerged Toucb-mo-N'ot was leading by a length, but Douglass was down to

business again and was steadily making up for lost time. There was a brief, but spirited engagement at the rounding in upon the home-stretch, but Touch-mo-Not's best gait had been seen and in a moment Douglass was two lengths ahead. The field, led by Laura Belle, was so far Debind, however, that the hyphenated flyer had no trouble in taking the Place, and tne finish was decidedly lame. The time, however, was cut down to2:26M. Everybody felt pretty certain that the third heat would be tne last; there was little or no betting upon it, and thus it was the least Interesting brush of the day. After scoring twice, thev were off, with the advantage of a full head giveu to Douglass. He was driven to win all the way around this time, and never lost his lead. McWiddie moved up out of the bunch and got behind him at the quarter pole, but a moment later he, in turn, was passed by Lady M., and they started into the cut in Indian file. When they emerged Douglass was lapped by . the mare and George Hayes had moved up to third place. The leader bad an easy time of it up the stretch, notwithstanding the tremendous efforts of Jennings to take the heat with Lady M. His little sorrel broke badly one hundred yards from the wire, but nevertheless captured the place. This was the fastest brush of the race, Douglass making it in 2:2 IM and taking the race, while Laura Belle got second money and Lady M. third. TIARD-FOCGFIT BATTLE. The best race on the card wasthe2:0 class, trotting, into which a parse of $S00 had attracted some good horses. Mambrfno Dudley had been scratched at the post, leaving Charley C, Frank B, Trim, Blaze berry and Virginia Evans starters. Charlie C was generally believed to be the best horse when he feels like going, but

y.fl -pie oL icliusK

the chances are usually about ten to one that he does not go his best. He belongs to the Peek crowd, and unless you are on the inside it's pretty hard to tell what one of their horses will do. Blazeberry was the general favorite, and sold even against the field. This mare of Beamer has a mark of :19 and turned a mile in 01 at Richmond the other day. Moreover, she had been entered as a sort ot "blaU" in the :1G class of Tuesday, and this gave her some prestige. However, Frank B. had won this same race at ltlchmond, and she had none the best of him in the selling. Not a great deal was known about Raybould's horse Trim, and as the 'bookies" wore offering odds of 5 to 1 against bim, nobody thought much of him. It was known, however, to be anybody's race, and the first start was breathlessly awaited. The first ettort was merely to score un, but on the second trial everyione of the the horses was' on his feet and in a fair line. They got but a hundred yards out whon both Frank B. and Charley C. went into the air. This gave Blazeberry the lead at the quarter, with Trim right behind her, and Virginia Evans third. Starting down the back-stretch Blazeberry left her feet and dropped to the rear. When they emerged from the cut Trim was leading , with Virginia Evans second, and both Frank B. and Charlie C. iiehting hard for the place. On the stretch Charlie C. made an effort to move up. and succeeded in putting Frank B. behind him. but wasunable to catch the filace horse. It was a whipping race to the nst, but no further change was made in tho order. Trim passing first under the wire in 2:23, with Virginia Evans second, Charlie C. third and the favorite, Frank B. and Blazeberry, trailing along in fourth and fifth places, respectively. AX EXCITING BRUSH. The betters were unable to makeup their mind about the next heat. Frank B. still bad plenty of backers and sold at 2 to 1. Trim started at 5 to 2, but the odds were backed down to 3 to 1. Charlie C. also stood at 5 to 2, but the bottom had dropped out of the faith in Blazeberry and she was 5 to 2 also. The llyera scored twice before they got a go, and when the word was given Trim and Charlie C. had a slight advantage ovor the rest in the line. But the gray went into the air almost from the wire and the light for the quarter pole lay between Trim and Frank B. Raybould's chestnut held his advantage well, however, and was forging ahead a full length as they entered the backstretch. The bay gelding, however, was in no mood to give up, and as they appeared to view out of the deep cut and started around the last turn he was at the leader's wheel and doing his best. Virginia Evans was right after him. followed by Blazeberry. while the Baltimore gray seemed to have lost interest in the heat. Now, as they come into the stretch. Trim and Frank B. are making a red-hot fight, and it looks from the grand-stand as though the bay were ahead. As they come nearer it is seen that they are nose and nose. Both drivers are whipping like mad. but neither can gain an inch. Now. if the bay could only poke his nose out a half fcot he would win, sure, but, alas, he has been cut once too often with Gaston's sharp rattan! Within five feet of tho wire he goes into the air and dashes past the judges in a wild gallop and tho heat goes to Trim in 2:21. Tho bay gets the place. In the meantime Blazeberry hns come up to third, with Virginia Evans fourth and Charlie C. lagging jn the rear. Jnst how the "tip" got started is not known with certainty, Soino say that fellow id the blue shirt aud mud-colored vest, wno manages the Peek combination, gave It out. and others say it was tiled up days ago. However that may be, as soon as th call was made for tho post every "dead came sport" that "stands in" with the Eastern crowd made a rush to get up all be had on Charlie C, the Baltimore gray, as winner of the third heat The "bookies" were "on," and there were no odds against him there, but the sports fouud plenty of alleged suckers in the Frenoh mutuals and auction pools. They, came nway smiling aud happy when the bell rang for tho start, and were in very high spirits. Their stuff was going to pay $17.50 for ? TIIK srORTS (JOT HUltT. In the effort to start, it was apparent to every onotbat the Baltimore horse was in for blood. His driver was so anxious to getaway with an advantage that three times be scored the field by coming down

under the wire a length ahead. When they finally got the word, however, he was on a lino with Trim and Frank B.. but he immediately began to forge ahead, and though he was on the outside of the bunch by the time they reaohed the quarter he was giving the pole horse a bard fight. This struggle continued all around the tarn, until just as they entered tho deep cut, when the gray was seen to leave his feet. Again, near the half, his head was seen in the air, though Trim was ahead moro iban a length. The gray moved up rapidly toward the three-quarters pole and broke again slightly, but came down immediately. Entering the stretch he came like the wind and drove Trim off his feet about fifty yards from tho wire. This let the gray in a length ahead amid the wildest cheering from the hundred or more sports who had been let in on the ground floor. They were jumpingun and down in their delight, and wore smiles as wide as the brim of the prevailing fashion in straw hats. They had plenty of time to jollify, for there was a long wait in the judges' stand. The winners pricked up their ears a little when FranK Walker's twenty-ton voice addressed the crowd in the pavilion, "Listen to the decision of the judges!" he shouted, and there was a solemn look upon his face. "It has been made up with care, in compliance with the rules, and it is final. The rule says that any horse that repeatedly breaks or performs a mixed gait shall be placed behind all other horses not ruled off or eo offending. This is a

ffwtS

trotting race. This gray horse. Charley C, was off' his feet repeatedly. The patrol on the back-stretch says there was no effort to catch this horse; that ha was under the whip while out of his gait. This we saw ourselves. In compliance with the rules be is placed behind. Trim wins the heat and the race. Frank D. is second and takes second money, Blazeberry is third, Virginia Evans fourth and Charlie C. fifth. Time, 2:19. Third money goes to Virginia Evans." Aud a sicker lot of sports you never saw. WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH FLORAL BOYT But if the sports were "dumped" on the trot, it looks very much as though the tender feet were going to get badly hurt on the 2:30 pace, which the darnness left unfinished. Floral Boy is five seconds the fastest horse in the race, and everybody knew it. He wad such a favorite that it was hard to get even money against him. Cosgrove had brought him into this race because he thought it was easier to beat than the 2:85 pace of Tuesday. He had made a mile in 2:20 at Richmond and had paced three fast heats In succession there. Against him were Lnoy Dumas, whose fastest mile at . Richmond was in 2:23Vs, Fieeland, who was not in it at all ovor there. Kissel's Pointer, Bessie M. and Landlord. ' He was a "dead easy" winner and he carried about all the coin there was. After two scores they were off, with Lucy Dumas, who had drawn the pole, slightly in the lead. At the quarter she held her advantage, with Freeland second, and the favorite back in the bunch. Just then the exciting runaway of . the scraper team, described elsewhere, oconrred in front of the stand, and distracted everybody's attention. As they entered the back-stretch ther was a spirited brush between Lucy Dumas, Freeland and Bessie M.. but "the Boy" was at the tail end. At the three-quarters they were in the same order, without any apparent effort on the part of Floral Boy to move up. In the stretch there was close work between Lucy Dumas and Freeland, but the order was not changed, and the mare won the heat in a close finish in 2:25 Mi, a mighty slow race for Floral Boy to come lagging in apoor fourth. He was still the favorite, however, and ' you had to bet $5 to win $3 on him for the next heat, lbey had a terrible time getting off for this contost, and were scored six times. Cosgrove evidently intended to win this heat. He broke at the turn, however, and Freeland pushed ahead, with Bessie M. close after him. The Boy moved up just ns easy along the stretch to a head behind the leader, and again dropped back at the turn. In the home-stretch, however, he came at full speed and had no trouble at all in winning, though he did it by but a head, from Freeland. Again the time was slow 2:24Mt. Now he was a pTime favorite. Every one was sure he would take three straight heats, aud again the betting was 6 to 3. Kissel's horso was trying to win this heat, and scored the field three times with his eagerness. He went ahead at the start, and Floral Boy again shot into the air. At the quarter the Kissel horse was ahead, with Freeland second. At the threequarters Freeland was ahead, with Floral Boy second, but then the favorito quietly dropped baok to third. Again he moved up a little in the streteh, but Freeland was permitted to take the beat in 2:27, with the favorite second. Despite the growing darkness and the empty benches it was decided to try another heat and, after a 20-minnte wait, they wero again called. Still Floral Boy was the favorite, selling even. They got away at the firet dash with jfKis'el's Pointer again aheaa. Freeland pasted him before the quarter, however, and the favorito was thlrtk At tho half they were in the same ordor with Floral Boy two lengths behind the place horse. He moved up a littio at the last turn, but he came joggine up tho stretch without a touch of the whip and oamo in fourth, permitting the heat to go to Froeland in 2:27, with the Kissel horso second and Lucy. Damns third. There was disgust among the betters. This race will be called at 1:30 to-day. Following are the summaries: The 2:40 pace; purse. $503 (divided): Frod Do a el a, b. s., T.

The slowness that marked the sale of pools during tbe greater part of the after jioon yesterday was exasperating to the bookies. The repeated suggestion of tbe auctioneers to "loosen up," although uttered in a voice loud enough to compote with the regulation "clap of thunder" that fell opportunely from tbe frowning clouds in the East, did not 'Seem to inculcate the desired enthusiasm. shouted by Starter Walker it was- hard at times to draw in the refractory "boodle'' on distinguished odds. It required the severest menace to provoke good bets, but . when the perbpiring crowd of Indianapohtans in front of the grand-stand heard the auctioneer yelling, "O you poor Hoosiors, what's the matter with the held. Here's 10 to 20 on Floral Boy. , Grab at it." A few bets would be taken. In the meantime Moderator Walker spoke pieces from tbe judges' balcony, and the tournament proceeded. -In the 2:40 pace Douglass sold at even money; Lady M., 10 to 2; Laurel. C to 2j Hayes and Laura Hello, 5 to 2. Before the first heat of the 2:20 trot Lawrie blackhoarded the race like this: Blazeberry, 20; Frank B., 10; Charley C, 15; G. Evans, 5, with Trim in the field on even money. Before the start, however, 3-to-2 bets on Trim were accepted. The Chicago combination was the roost daring with its odds and occasionally let out a bait that seemed so truly good it as rejected on account of ita shell game coloring. The third heat of the 2:20 trot was exciting among tbe betters. Blazeberry sold even, as did Frank B. Trim was still 3 to 2, Virginia Evans 5 to 1 and Charley C. C to 1. Charley C. came under the wire first, but lirst place was awarded to Trim by tbe judges, cn account of Charley C.'s bad break. The 2:20 pace was plnnged in heavier than the trot. The odds were Stephen WM 20 to 2; Landlord. Freeland and Bessie M., 10 to 2; Amanda. 13 to 2: Lady Dumas. 4 to 2; Floral Boy, even; Kissel's Pointer, 6 to 2. A pile of money went on the favorite, Floral Boy, who rewarded his backers by losing the heat. As high as 75 to 2 wasotlered against Freeland. The lady won in a jog. For the second heat the nnterritied bookmakers preserved their confidence in Floral Boy, and offered 3 to 2 against Lady Dumas. Landlord and Amanda having been drawn. Freeland was 5 to 2, Kissers Pointer C to 2. Bessie M. 15 to 2, and Stephen W. 20 to 2. The thirn-heat odds wero as follows; Floral Boy 1 to 2, Freeland 2 to 1. Kissel's Pointer 4 to 1, Bessie M. 10 to 1. Stephen W. ir to 1. Floral Boy again lost, and the crowd became bo suspicions of his work that odds became even for the fourth heat, with few investors. Race Not on the Programme. Shortly after tbe start in the first heat of the 2:S0 pace several teamsters, who were dragging the track, turned on the home stretch. The drags were heavy wooden frames that are used in making the track smooth. The teamsters had seen tbe start, and they now figured that by hurrying thvir horses they might get beyond the wire tar enough in time to permit the paoors to come home, and then view the linisb. Each Jehu drew his whip and plied the lash vigorously to his awkward steeds. One fellow was sittingon a barrel that rested on the front timber of his drag. As the crude chariots moved down the stretch the crowd began cheering them. The horses were either scared or enteredintothe spirit of the race. Suddenly tbe teamster's ptitrell rolled out from under him as the horses increased their speed. He shambled about, but soon regained bis seat on the drag. By this time his team started on a dead run, and the frame bnmped around so lively he again lost his seat, and rolled in the dust. In another second he was under the drag, scrambling for his life, while tho horses increased their gait, seemingly putting his life in peril. A cloud of dust completely shut out any view of the poor driver's struggles until a few men ran out on the track near the wiro and stopped the mad team. Everybody expected the workman to be found dead. but. to their surprise, he jumped up as springy as a jack-in-the-box, and took charge of tho scared horses, who wero hustled otl'the track just as tbe pacers reached the wire.

Democrats In Their Mad Desire to Smirch Republicans Attack Russell Harilsonu Washington, July 20, Representative Mcl'ae, of Arkansas, from the committee on public lands, to-day submitted to tbe House the report of the committee on public lands, which was instructed bv the House to examine and report by bill or otherwise as to tbe circumstances under which certain leases of ground in the Yellowstone National Park were made in March, 1SS9, by tbe Secretary of tbe Interior to tbe Yellowstone Park Association, and also why tbe privileges given to tbe association in said leases to transport passengers in the park was afterwards rescinded and the same granted to one S.'S. Huntley. The report says that the Secretary made a lease to Mr. Huntley for the transportation business only, and without any obligation to build any hotels, aud declared a forfeiture of tho right of transportation of tbe Yellowstone National Park Association without notice, without trial, or any statement of any complaints for nonuse or misuse of tbe right. "Mr. Wake held, wbobad conducted the transportation business' eays the report, "is a Democrat. Mr. linntleya Republican and a personal and political friend of Russell Harrison, son of tbe President. The Secretary eays that Mr. Huntley was recommended to bim by several Senators and Congressmen and onco. or twice by Mr. Russell Harrison. Tbe committee is unable to rind how tbe public service was in tbe least promoted by the forfeiture." In another connection tbe report speaks of the friendship ''existing between Mr. Harrison and Mr. E. C. Waters, tbe latter having stated to Mr, Gibson, tbe president of tbe association, that he and Mr. Harrison were old friends out in Montana, and be thought he could get him to aid in arranging matters. Waters's statement is plainly erasive and with the evident dfsiro to shield Mr. Harrison's name." The report concludes aa followsr The son of tbo President is in no wise connected with the government of the United States, yet from his relations to the Presidont himself, be, in eliect, represents a part of tho presidential power. Cabinet ministers themselves, as well aa their subordinates, hold their places at the will of the President, and they, as well as all other men, way be tbe recipients of tbe executive power. Up to tbe advent of Russell 11. Harrison in tbe role of an influential kobetween as "the son of bis father," tbe President, no member of tbe President's family has takeb part in tho executive administration of tbe goverument. No statutory law exists prohibiting a member of tbo President's family from solicit in k favors from a department against bis enemies or in favor of his friends, because hitherto no such law has beu needed. Hut the impropriety of such acts is too glaring and obvious to require any argument, and when apparently they pnss without eliciting reproof, presidential or paternal, it seems fitting that tbe representatives of tbe people should stamp them with their condemnation. It may not be remarkable in a monarchy for the heir apparent to strive to inlluence ofheiaia.- Uut in a re-

A short time ago tbe Canadian government, through tha British charge d'aifairs at Washington, made . formal application to Secretary Foster, of the State Department, for tha release under the British supply steaincf Coquillan, recently seized at Port Ktcbez, Alaska, by the revenue steamer Corwin for violating United States customs regulations ' in transferring her cargo in American waters without a permit. It is understood that the Secretary of State has informed tbe representative of the tfiitlsh government that tbe request cannot be complied with in its present form, for tho reason that tbe vessel having been trans ferred to the custody of tbe United States marshal at Sitka for proceedings under tbe law, tbe case is no longer within tbo jurisdiction of the executive branch of tho government. The impression here is that tbe Alaska court will nndonbtedly restore the vessel to its owners on tbe civing ot bonds snihoient to meet all possible penal ties in the event of conviction.
