fall meeting of the Trotting assodid not prove as satisfactory, ially, as was expected, but for sport rtainly never been equalled in this
It may have been the cool weather kept the people away, and it may »een the closeness of the times, but rate there was not one-tenth the ance that such a high class of races have drawn. The large number ~ies in each of the classes will keep station from any serious financial nd whatever that may be It can be ered a Judicious investment in ay of advertising the races next
We certainly have the finest in the State, the most liberal purses flfered, and with the substantial ig furnished by the members of dsociation the future meetings are to draw. Our people have not scustomed to such splendid racing at witnessed this week—are not educated up to it in fact—but when become used to it the mere an cement of a meeting will insure a l. a couple of small boys on the ids this week, who certainly got real unalloyed pleasure out of the than any of those present. They seem to care whether Jerome er beat his record or not, whether lyers got a good start or no and ap »d as little concerned about the talk river pulling his horse as if they at a Sunday school picnic instead orso race. But thoy were supreme ppy all the same, and for the sim eason that they had "sneaked In" ojAt paying, and outwitted a watch the bargain. I was an Interested ,ator of the latter event. The boys
Rittlng on the fence for quite a time attempting their manoeuvre, and pecial policeman kept his eye on as if they were a bad lot. Bye and ae disappeared around the corner tfilnute or two, watching a couple les under the fence which afforded nly moans of making a sneak into rounds-the very places, too, that oys wore scheming for. When he H1
the corner again the boys were rently seated on the fence as before thoy were not. They had rigged couple of dummies and tied them and then concealed themselves while the officer closely watched a mm les to keep them from sneakthe small

Thompson, the former on *ay night and the latter on Wednesit. Both speeches were delivered ling llall, In the presence of good tudlences. Mr. Iamb's speech was pally In the nature of a defensedefensive light Isn't half as spirit 1 an aggressive one. That It Isn't [resslvo tight Is shown by Lamb's pent that he would not speak hero efore ©lection—and this place headquarters for the most determlnnixation against a Democratic ate ever known In this region, lompson speech was an eloquent
Ion of the attitude of the Repubarty on the Issues of the day, and silvered vrfth all the force and tness for which he is noted. It Is reason ami argument, such an can '.veil handled by this "noblest
!of
them all."
Harper, Col. Hunter and Ir. had a meeting of Uie Good Gov- & club at Prairieton, Wednesday *The former made the principal while the others assisted.

Our Ringgolds couldn't quite beat the When band in the contest for prizes at the Evansville band tournament on Mon day, but they came in a good second, The Washington band was awarded the third prize.
City Marshal Morrison expresses a determination to close all the poker, faro and other gambling rooms in the city and that the saloons n\ust obey the law which says they must close at night. He has* undertaken a large contract.
Judge John J. Key, formerly of this city, at one time a law partner of Senator Voorhees, died in Washington on Wednesday morning. He leaves a wife, son and two daughters. One of the latter is in France, the wife of an officer in the French army.
Frank Mills and his brothers desire to make public their heartfelt thanks to the many friends who were so kind in the hour of distress occasioned by sudden loss of their brother Leonard, and especially to Cllft, Williams A Co. for their kindness and deep sympathy.
Dr. A. J. Humphreys, who killed Leander Caruthers, at Fontanetsome two years ago, and was sent to the penitentiary for two years, was pardoned by the Governor last Monday. His credits for good behavior would have released him last Thursday, but he asked the Governor to pardon him as it would exonerate him.
What has become of the High School lecture bureau which for two seasons past has furnished our people with such entertaining and instructive lectures Torre Haute was long known as the poorest town in the State for a lecturer, and mainly through the high-class entertainments afforded by the High School course have we been able to retrieve ourselves. Can we not have another enjoyable season of lecture entertainments in the High School lecture course?
Our people have had as their guests, this week a very notable body of women. They came to transact the annual business of the Northwestern branch of the Woman's Foreign Missionary Society, representing the States of Wisconsin, Michigan, Illinois and Indiana. Several missionaries came and told of their work In foreign lands, and altogether the sessions held at Centenary church were of peculiar Interest, attracting large audiences from Tuesday to Thursday evenings.
R. G. Wheeler arrived In the city a few days ago, from the Indian agency in Arir.ona, where he has been for some two years. Mr. Wheeler's many friends are delighted to see him and welcome him back with much warmth. It will lie recollected that when Mr. Wheelei first went to this Indian agency, he was so bitterly opposed by the. speculators, who always hang around Indian agencies that for a lime he deemed it prudent to stay away, but as soon as the Government learned the facts of the case, he was ordered to return, and since that, has discharged his duties to the entire satisfaction of the goneral government and for the welfare of the Indians. We join in welcoming him to his old home.
This world is not altogether bad when the Democratic organ can announce a Republican speaker as the Gazette did our much loved Dick Thompson on Wednesday evening. It said:
Col. R.W. Thompson will speak at Bowling Hall to-night. Terre Hauteana always listen with delight to their own silver tongued orator. Time wan when he addressed his fellow cltttena ofton. Of Into yearn his absence at Washington and press of occupation In other directions has prevented Ills speaking except on rare occasions. It Is. therefore, with increasing pleasure that his fellow cltisennof all political creeds and all classes hear him now. The Colonel Is a Republican, and pretstrlct In the faith, too, but he Is more an a mere partlson and all of us of every erwd, delight to do him honor. We are not mlng to vote the Republican ticket this fall, t*ut If he was candidate himself for any thing under the sun, the people of Vigo county would make It unanimous.

AMUSEMENT NOTES,
"Zoxo, the Magic Queen" was given at Naylor's last night and will be repeated this afternoon and evening. "Zozo" is decided novelty in the way of stage productions being a spectacular comedy, full of original and striking effects, and presented with the most elaborate scenic display, the transformation scene which concludes the play being a marvel of beauty and splendor. The features the production are the music,the scenery, the marches, tableaux and pageantry, This season, Miss Blanche Curtisse, beautiful woman and an accomplished actress, plays the title part. "Zozo" af fords a very pleasant evening's entertain ment.
Sol Smith Russell, the well known and favorite comedian, comes on Monday evening with his great comedy company, presenting his new comedy drama, "Pa," said to be brim full of fun, and with plot intensely interesting. The play in, three acts, full of strong situations, and picturesque groupings. A car load of properties are brought into requisition and the ladies wear costly wardrobes, Sol Smith Russell, who has a remarkable hold on the public, is a whole show in himself and will introduce his best specialties.
On Tuesday evening the new drama, "One of the Bravest," will be presented It is a dramatic picture of New York city life and we are assuied is given by a strong company. The Washington Post says
It is a grand play, full of sensations, with a the loss robbing,
steamboat explosion, a flre, a murder, the loss napping of a child, .»wu.us, The story is tola In flashes of Inrid in-
of a will, the etc. tensity—surprise after surprise is presented in bewildering succession. The main humor of the piece is afforded in connection with the extraordinary discipline of the Gorgan Household. Mrs. Gorgan, Mr. Wm. Cronin, was intensely funny. Mr. Chas. McCarthy, as Larry Howard, was. a brave fireman, for the bravest of the play are the members of the Fire Brigade. His clever use of the life line and scaling ladders, in the second act, was received with thunders of applause. His disguise as a Chinaman, in a Mott street opium Joint, was capitally assumed. The other members of the company had lots to do and did it well,
When Sol Smith Russell was playing in Des Moines, Iowa, recently, some imbecile in the audience rang a "chestnut" bell whenever he introduced a specialty. The nuisance was tolerated for some time, and then the offender was promptly kicked out of the theater.
Miss Blanche Curtisse, who is playing "Zozo" at Naylor's, belongs to a prominent New York family and is a graduate of Vassar. In the profession she is call as a a

As to Purity and Wholeaomeness oftheBoyalBaklngPowder. I have tested a package of Roval Baking Powder, which I purchased In the open market, and And it composed of pure and wholesome ingredients. It is a cream of tartar powder of a high degree of merit, and does not contain either alum or phosphates, or other Injurious substances. X. G. Lova, Fh.D,"
It is a scientific Act that the Royal Baking Powder is absolutely pure.
"I have examined a package of Royal Baking Powder, purchased by myself la the market. I find it entirely free from alum, terra alba, or any other injurious substanos. HSXBT MOBTOS, Ph.D., President of Stevens Institute of Technology."
I have analysed a package of Royal Baking Powder. The materials of which It Is composed are purs and wholesome. S. DAXA. HATSS, State Assayer, Mass."
Tho Royal Baking Powder received the highest award over all competitors at the Vienna World's Exposition, 1878 at the Centennial, Philadelphia, 187B at the AnuttiMB Institute, New York, and at State Fairs throughout the country.
No other article of human food has ever received such high, emphatic, and unl* Tertal endorsement from eminent chemists, physicians, scientists, and Boards oC Heslth ell over the world.
Nora—The shove DIAGRAM Illustrates the comparative worth of various Baking Powders, as shown by Chemical Analysis and experiments msde by Prof. Schedler. A pound can of each powder was taken, the total leavening power or volume tn each can calculated, the result being as indicated. This practical test for worth bp Prof. Schedler only proves what every observant consumer of the Royal Baking Powder knows by practical experience, that, while It costs a few cents per pound more t.hm ordinary kinds, it is far more economical, and, besides, affords the advantage of better work. A single trial of the Royal Baking Powder win convince any tsir-minded person of these fects.
While the diagram shows some of the slum powders to be of higher degree «f strength than other powders ranked below them, It Is not to be taken as Indicating thatthey have any value. All alum powders, no matter how high their strength are to be avoided as asngeroos.
