Agriculture to bniid a good track was wearisome, but to it at last, and to the energy nnd judgment of the Indianapolis l>riviog Club belongs a great deal of the orodlt for the mile track that now enraptures horsemen at the new fair grounds. The driving olub had a groat deal of bard work before it when it wae incorporated in April. Four months wae a short time to makwa mil* track, and make it good, and there wae little prospect that the weather would help the eolation of the problem. After th« purchase of the Voss farm the traek was leastd by Lackey A Bronson for fivo years, and, with the subsequent organisation of the driving club, the lease bseame its property. The original lessees then transferred their Cambridge City dstes in the Indiana circuit to thia eity, which mads the completion of the traek necessary by July 1$.

Before the racing the crowd listened to music from the instrrments of "the Progress Band, wandered underneath the pavilion, consuming refreshments of varions kinds and watched the “bookies” preparing to sell pools upon the heats or posting the entries and weather conditions at Monmouth and Washington Parka. Boys with huge illumined score cards, giving the positions of the horses and the colors of the drivers' caps, did a land-office business. The carriage drivers it the east end of the pavilion were crowded. The track was s trifle heavy, caused by the large rain-fall of last night, but many horses spsd around the coarse, affording excellent opportunity to approximate its qualities. Owing to the fact that several parts of it had to bo hammered and rolled, the starting of the three-mile trot was postponed until 3 o'clock.

A YOUNG MURDERESS.

She

Haa a Mania For Giving Poison To Children.

Buffalo, July 19.—Sadie McMullen, the Akron murderess, who threw two children from a high railroad bridge into Mordar creek, has been outdone by a fourteen-year-old Tonawanda girl, who seems possessed of a desire for murder. She is Ella Holdridge, and her victims, so for as disoovsrsd, are one child, who it now dead, and two whom the physicians say can not live. The girl’s plan was to administer rat poison to the helpless children. The fiendish work began Inst Thursday, when the youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Herman 8termer was taken suddenly ill and died with symptoms of cholera morbus. Last Friday Mrs. Eggleston came to Buffalo, leaving her two little girls at home. Soon - after her departure the Holdridge girl went to the house, looked the doors and mads some chocolate for the children. She mixed rat poison with it and forced the little ones to swallow the ooneoetion. That night they were taken ill and physicians have bsqp working to save them ' ever since. Tbs young murderess hss mads a confession. ■ JRelic et an Old New Yoris Mayor. New York, July 19.—In making an excavation in ths rear of the Citv Hall, workingmen came upon an oblong brown stone two test long, eighteen inches wide and sbont s foot deep, on which was inscribed, “R. Vanek, Esq., Mayor, 1776.” The relio was removed to tbe crypt oi tho City Hall for safe keeping. Maj. Richard Varies held that office from 1789 until 1801. The City Hall was then in Wall street, near William. The corner-stone of tbe present building wts laid on May 24, 1803. No one can explain how the stone came to be in tbe park.

This afternoon the races of the meet will be formally inaugurated on the traek of ths Columbian Athletic Club at Analstog Island. Then are fonr championship events to be contested, tho quarter, half, one and two-mile, and in the final struggles all the State or division champions will come together. It is probable that there will be another meeting of the league this afternoon to consider the proposition which hss been made by the National Cyclists’ Union to ths leagns that the latter shall throw open its championships to all comers. As it is now foreign cyclists are barred from ehampionsbip events in this country on account of ths tightness with which the league restrains its rules for the benefit of American amateurs. The English wheelmen want the league to put its Championships oh the same basis as those of the Union, that neither eouatrv nor color bars. This, they aav, is nothing more than reciprocity, as an American can go over to England and win everything in sight if he proves to be the best man. The proposition is favorably entertained by most of the leading cyclists of this country, especially a* the rules pf the league have already been side-tracked to admit of international contests during the World’s Fair. Among the whselnifn who will compete in tbs national championship are W. C. Marraon and F. E. Hunter, of Indianapolis, and G. K. Barrett, of Hlinois.| A huge tricycle, with whosla eight feet ip diameter, brought np tbe rear of the parade this morning. The wheelmen made the parade bright and novei by free indulgence m individual eccentricities ot dross, decoration of wheels and club yells. Thera' wars probably not more than a hundred uprights in line. A detachment of polios on safety bicycles in front of the parade kept thii line clear, and followed by tbe bngle band of the Overman .Wheel Company, also mounted on bicycles. The bicycle oorp* * of tho National Guard, in neat gray salts, with muskets slung across their shoulder*, followed as an escort to W, A. Balob, chief of staff; F. F.

It is a notable gathering from th$ fact that tbo Dsmoorstie nomination is no longer tantemonat to election. For once farmer delegates are in ths majority, there being 169, and b«t 49 lawyers.

The fight is on tho constitutionality of the law that was enacted by the Legislature at its special extra session last spring, by which tne State was ^apportioned. Under that law tho aldermen in this county and tho board of supervisors in ths other counties having more than one member of Assembly sro directed to meet to-day to fix tho boundaries of the districts. They will probably do this in every county except Monroe, There tbe Repnblicans,who have a majority In tho board,will probably refuse to change the boon dories, and the fight will bo on immediately.
