THE OaLAJTA PAIEY OCTOBBB 8 , 189-A. ON BUILDING A HUE TRACK Editor Eoofl of Western Bosonrces Writes 1 - pn a Topic of Interest , WHAT IS NEEDED TO MAKCiT A 1'oneMlon of tlio Conno Alone Does Not Jniuro I ho Proper Atlrntlou Ilo r Light Harm-it Horc * Intercits Slajr lo Forn-nrded. The last meeting ol the Nebraska Trot ting and racing Horse Breeders * association held In tills city was almost n. failure , al though there were Bomo very promising and Bpecdy horses In attendance. The same Is practically true ol the races at the state fair , and horsemen ol this state have had reason to find considerable fault with the condition of light harness racing In this Btatc , which has several record winners to Its credit. With a view of ascertaining the opinion of some of the more prominent horse men of the slate regarding the conditions under which successful rnco meeting might bo assured , letters were written to them. II. S. Heed , editor of the Western Hetourccs a horse paper , and a director of the State Breeders' association , writes In reply : "The flrst question In the letter regarding the best location In the state for B rollo track Is a delicate one to ans-ncr In an Omaha paper , providingof course , It Is our opinion there Is n better place for racing tnnn Omaha lias pi oven heraelf to be. It might be considered oy our friends of the metropolis os rank heresy to nay aught that \\ould detract from the paper reputation of that stirring metropolis n * a. racing point , in fact , to Intimate In an Omaha paper that nnother point saveOmnhu. . pre sented better reasons for the existence of a mile track would be liable to brlns upon the he-ad of the writer the censure ol nil people who arc not absolutely fumlllar with fuels on this duistlon and who take It for granted that under favorable circumstances Omaha would be a desirable racing point. To make ouch a statement , however , would be wan-luff wllh the facts as presented by latter day demonstrations. In nil reason , n , llrst-clan.H trad : at Omaha or Lincoln should prove- great boon to the racing Industry. Of course , the simple fact that a mile track Is In existence la not enough to encourage the sport nnd bring out those elements which breeders and Interested horsemen arc desirous of having brought out , that thu Industry ns n whole may receive substantial benefits. A simple mile cour.se Is not enough to encourage the sport nnd the Interests of the. light harness horse can lag , falter and ille over u mile track as easily as they can over n half mile ring , such as Omaha has nt the present time. The question as pro pounded means , if It means anything , at what point In Nebraska -would harness rac ing prosper best under favorable clrcum- Btances , and In discussing that question It Is well for all to undeistand what favorable circumstances arc. First , the track must be built upon scientific principles , and after It has been constructed , must be woikea In nn Intelligent manner by one well posted In such work , nnd when racing day appears It must bo lit for the kings and queens and prospective-record breakers to achieve dis tinction over. After the track Is in nn Idea' condition , comfortable stables erected , com modious nnd well arranged amphitheaters built , nnd all of the surrcundlngH made to correspond with the perfection of the track , It then becomes necessary that some mnn or a party or men blessed with enterprise , energy nnd ambition , to say nothing- amply flnnncl.il backing , should assume con troi of the property nnd make It a business to conduct It In such a shape that the horsc- mon of the I'nlted States will be attracted In such n manner that they will bring this Jscbrnska rnce course such a Held of horses ns will draw visitors not only from our own good Rtnte , but from the horse centers of the entire western -world. The narrow. constricted , penny wise nnd pound foolish policy that Is so liable to mark the career of public enterprises of this character wll bring. It not disgrace , oblivion , to nny race track. Liberal purses must be offered' strict Integrity and honor must character Izc even" action ; llbernllly rather thai : parsimony must characterize every step o' this association. Hence , It may be Inferrei by what wo have already said , that th < best place for a mile track In the state o Nebraska Is nt that cltvwh'ph will pylnc < the m Bt enthusiasm , put Into 111 i o t'ollo t'- best djiree of ability , and Is willing nn anxious to make both renown and wcaltti out of thiH paitieular enterprise. If Omahi will conduct a race meeting on this hlffl plane there Is no question concerning th outcome. The snme can be said -with equa truth In relation to other cities In the state On no other plan can success that Is wort" , having be attained. "The next question Is , 'What Is your opin Ion of Nebraska as a producer of fine trot ters nnd pacers nnd of horses In general ? Our opinion of Nebraska ns a producer o trotters and pacers Is founded on facts. nn < Is not nn opinion , it Is knowledge. Ther Is no section of the union that is achlevin { inch reputation or bus made such rapl Strides in the Unlit harness horse Industr. Jurlng the past few years as the west. Ne braska and Kansas are rapidly forging to the front ns producers of grent performers. No ( state has produced two 2:01 : performers nave Kansas. That state produced Joe 1'atchcn and John II. Gentry. The sires of those two great pacers are In service In the southern part of the state. Kansas has the distinction of producing and owning the fastest trotting yearlingIn the world , and the sireof that world's ' champion Is owned nt Topekn. Nebraska produced the fastest yearling pacer. Belle Acton , the fastest 2- ycar-old pacer until recently , when the great California and Colorado colts beat Onllnc'8 record of 2:11. : It was on Nebraska soil that Allx took her kindergarten lessons , and the first time she ever appeared In public was over a Nebraska track. It l well known that the character and cord'.tlon of the soil nnd the climate , which nrc en vironments of the early life of n trotter or pacer , have much to do with the success that animal achieves In future life. Had this western region been other than favor able for the development of muscle , lung and heart power , and oil those things which go toward making thn physically great trotter , It is not supposed that Allx wouid have been the champion trotting an imal of today , nor that the other record breakers mentioned -would have achieved the distinction they now possess. There Is no better region for the production of the trotter or pacer than the west. The soil nnd climate arc propitious ; the food produced possesses the proper nutriment , nnd our horsemen are endowed with that ability Which makes success possible. History Is very pointed on this question , and Nebraska Is always taken Into consideration by horse men In other sections of the world , "The other question In the letter is : 'Do you not think horsemen of this state should In sist upon having a good mile track on the Btate fair grounds ? ' " \Ve have always ac corded to every man the right to conduct lila business In the manner that best suits himself. It Is not Incumbent upon horsemen to Blurt at the state fairs unless the con ditions , surroundings , and all of the partic ulars of that event are In harmony with their views. It Is paying too great a com pliment to the managers of the state fair to Insist that If they do not present condi tions favorable to racing- there will be no racing- the stute. If the state fair Is held I.it we will say at Lincoln , and they Insist upon doing- business over a , half mile ring iti and a , mile track such as we have described ; i la constructed and managed at Omaha , the raring at Lincoln will bo of an Inferior character , such as II was during 1831.while that over the mile track In the- neighborIng - Ing- city will be metropolitan , high class i. and creditable alike to the Btate , the city and the men who control It. Take for ex ample Ues Molncs this year. The Uavles meeting had some of the very best horses In the land , while those that competed over the half mile ringof the State Fair asso I- ciation during the snme week were of the more common sort , the kind , that we have seen far years over the west 1- ern rings and the kind that wa will always see so long as the old plan Is per mitted to rule. There Is no doubt that It would be very much better for all parties Interested did the state fair people have e , mile track , present a strictly llrst-clnss program , nnd have some one at the head of that department that would give It per sonal attention nnd see to It that the Inter rr nals of neither horsemen nor association were Jeopardized or Imposed upon. " New Era , one of Hn-mblelonlan wakes' 4-year-old get , proved a. genuine suipi'so ' party to thn horsemen at V , IllUms' linlic- uursr track last Tuesday. He wnv ciio of twelve starters in the J 21 j > u-lnc race , which was brought over from B.itur-Hy as unfinished , after three heats hod been trav eled.

At Syracuse , N , Y. , on last Monday oc curred the longest laoe tlmt has taken place this > ear. It was the 2:29 : pace , wllh ten starters , and six of them were distanced before the ninth and Jlnnl heat , Duplgnno was distanced In the eighth heat , after win ning the second and third , and General Wall won the first heat nnd wan distanced In the fifth. It was a race for blood and wns won by Ezra A , by Montebcllo , who captured the fifth , sixth and ninth heats. The time ranged from 222U ; to 2.31 % . There has been ft good harness meeting at Chllllcothe , O. , during the past week. and while some of the- record winners went against their marks , no new ones were made. Filing Jib has Installed a new kind of racing on this track , nnd has now the pacing record with n running mate hitched beside him. He paced a. mile In 1MH : nt this meeting nnd never mude skip. If Jib would get over his sulky turns he could make all the record winners hump themselves to keep out of the wuy of his dust. The 4-year-old pacing rivals , Hubensteln nnd Vnssar , had another battle royal Tues day afternoon nt Chllllcothe. The former won the 2:10 : pace , but the latter mftile n new record In the first heat , going the mile In 2:07. : Vassnr was driven too hard In this hent nnd became unsteady during the suc ceeding trials , letting his iluil capture the rnce In the next three heats , The average time for the four heats wns 2:05' : ' . * * Ktliel A and Ella T. the 3-yonr-olrt rivals had a hot battle at Chllltcothe Tuesday In the 3-year-old pace , lithfl A. the IOWA filly , was too speedy for Kiln T , and won the race In straight honts In nn average time of a fraction less thun 2:11. : * Dlrectum. the king of ttottlne sUilllonn , defeated his rlv.il , Nelson , In n fast rn ce nt Portland , Me. , on Wednesday afternoon. It was an unfavorable day for racing , being cold and a strong wind blowing , but a new- race record -was made for'iSew Lnglnud. It was a matched rnce for $5,000. und thu great black horse had no trouble In beating the bav. The time wns fairly good , the miles being traveled In 2.10 , 2.13U and 2:08"i. : * Warren Guy , by Prlmo , a. 2-ycar-old , won the trotting- race nt Itellefontalne , O. , on Wednesday , and made a recoid for himself of 2:27'i. : In the second hent. This Is one of the promising colts of the scas-on. and with a little more age cnn come close to the record marks. tt The racing at Hcdrlck , In. , during the past week has been above the average. The weather was fairly good , the track In fine condition , and big fields of starters. Ilocky I . one of the fast young pacers , wiis de feated In straight heats In the 2:16 pace- by Slrathberry. by Hoscberty , whose fastest mile was 2:11. The other laces were suc cessfully carried on , and the meeting re flects credit on the enterprising managers Phoebe Wilkes , by Hnmbletonlnn Wllkes , McHenry's great little Hotting mare , de feated Dan Cupid In the 2:11 : class tiot at Chllllcothe one day this wetk. after 13nn had taken the first two heats It wus a flve- heat race and the average time was 2:10 : % . The people of eastern Nebiaaka nnd Iowa will tie treated to a gllmps-e of the trot ting and pacing champions of the world during the next two weeks. Dea Molpea and Sioux : City have arranged to have exhibition races between Ilobert J anil .Toe Patchen and John U. Gentry , while Allx and Di rectly will rnce against time. The pros pects are said to be good for securing the appearance of these horses , or nt least part of them , at Union park durlnrf the latter part of this month. At every point where these horses are booked for nn appearance the railroads are giving reduced rates , and have agree < l to run excursions to Omaha If Clinton Brlggs can get Salisbury nnd Ham lln to bring their strings of ll > ers here.

The base bnll season of ISM ended In Omaha yesterday In a Kale that chilled the bones of the spectators nnd blew the dual In such gusts that good b.ill wns an Im possibility. Scarcely a hundred people braved the cold to see the last frame of the Reason , and It could scarcely be ex pected that the players would run on > risks of Injuring- their numbed fingers when there was nothing- stake. The gnme wns a farce throughout , which was ciaracterlzet by free hitting and loose fleliltng. We hat Buck licked anyway , so w& could afford U lose this ono , nnd every one played to hurrj the nine Innings through as soon as possible Their success In this respect was the re markable feature of the contest.

The class of largo operators remain ccmparatle.y patslvc , nnd show no qbjfctlon to the bears disporting themselves In making petty rnldi ; nrst , because their attacks make little Im pression , anil next -because any fall In prices hey may effect oniytiltonls nn opportunity 'or ' advantageous buying1 , which the bulls iccm quite ready to turn to account. "Although there Is at present nothing out f which to make a really active market , et In. certain Important respects the posl- .Ion amounts to n bull situation. For , iil- hough the business of the railroads has not et returned to Its usual volume , yet It Is till recovering , and there Is a large volume f freight In prosp ct fur the coming months , nd the range of prices Is low enough to mn- ly set off the current relatively low earn- ngs. Besides , the amount of floating stock > n the market Is exceptionally light , This s remarked by the banks , who are rccelv- ntf an unusually large proportion of bonds .n their collaterals ( perhaps as a set-off against rattletrap industrials ) , and n much imaller ratio of railroad stocks. The snme act Is apparent from the dllllculty expert- : iice < l by the bears In borrowing stocks and he frequent squeezes to which they nre ubmltted. This scarcity Is naturally an Icment of strength , and itlll more BO is he extraordinary facility with which money : an be borrowed on time. Moreover , there is nothing In sight to suggest on early change from this abundance of money. These factors favor the bulls ns against the ' ) O.irs , and It would not be surprising If the latter soon changed sides , so as to produce i range of prices on which they could sell : o better purpose. "Pending the dullness of the local market , .hero Is more than usual Interest in the ilisposltlon shown toward our securities at Iho foreign centers. Abroad , the excessive ease In money Is encouraging to speculative transactions , and prices , though already ilgh for the better class of Investments , are Htcadlly rising. In London , the speculative spirit Is encouraging the launching of new corporate undertakings. The amount of nevi 'capital applications' averages over 1,000,000 per week , and for the first nine months of the year aggregated close upon 65,000,000 , against 33,000,003 for the same months ot 1893. This , It Is true , Is much below the usual rate of. new London Issues , but it shows a quite distinct revival of enterprise and Investment ; The home trude of Eng land also exhibits a reviving tone , with a strengtheningend ncy In prices. The marked recovery of conlldence'Shroughout Europe In the maintenance of pacific Inter national policies seems to be somewhat checked by the reported serious condition of the czar's health , but It Is not easy to see why that should not rather benellt New World Investments than otherwise. Judging from the tone of 'the.Londpn presf , the reel ing of distrust , towijrd American securities , occasioned by the current .numerous rail road receiverships , has begun to ubnte. There Is more disposition to buy our secur ities , but transactions show a preference for the better cla fe of > stocks nnd for bonds. As the trafllc of our roads Improves and our general trade recovers , this movement may easily extend to th"e more active shares nni become the bofeis j > t something like the former speculative movement , between New York nnd London. The present unsettled condition of pohtics n this country no doubt has .some effeci upon ihose of our Invest- menl § _ whtph "roriK Uclow the position ofnb - " HoIuleiBecurify"injUtjtn8historyp our legls latlon affords o"rriajjy evidences of a com. mon. sense result coming out ol erratic fer ments" of public opinion , that London finan ciers should know how to tcke our present surface currents of political sentiment at their true value , "The recovery of trade following the pas sage of the tariff act appears to have ex hausted Its first effects on Wall street. The two months of active distribution of mer chandise has sufllced to meet the Immediate wants of the retail trade , and there Is con sequently a curtailment of the demand at wholesale and arc Interval of waiting until the usual second demand for replenishing stocks appears. There appeMH , however , to be no real reason for doubting that this second end half of the season will prove reasonably satisfactory. The retailers themselves were the best Judges ofwhat amount of goods they could dispose of , nnd it Is reasonable to suppose that , liberal though their pur chases have been , they have taken no more than their customers will want during the first and more active half of the season , and , assuming that , It may be allowable to hope for a fair renewal of demand during the later period of the season. Wholesale dealers , however , are making conservative estimates UK | > n this late demand , and are pursuing a tentative course In their con tracts % vlth the manufacturers. They are likely to follow a like policy in respect to orders for the next season's business , which Is no more then would be dictated by sound business policy. Indeed , there Is nowhere any disposition to discount the future from the standpoint of sanguine expectations , A continued gradual recovery of business through 1S93 la counted upon , but no enily boom Is generally anticipated. The Imports of merchandise show n large increase , being for the last week of September $10,200,000 , against J6,200,000 for the same time of 1S93 , This may be regarded us partly the effect of the revival of business , and partly a re action from the holding back of goods Jt : anticipation of the new duties. The move , ment Is therefore not to be regarded ns in any way excessive. " HOG AND CATTI.B I'EKCENTAGKS. Statistics Gathered by a Chicago LIve Stock Firm. CHICAGO , Oct. 7.

Many o" the correspondents who have made sclen title tests state that ono bushel of wheat , when ground and'.properly fed , Is equal to one and a half bushels of corn. Another prominent feature of the repor. Is the large numb4r of counties reporting disease among hogs. In eleven states , III ) . nols , Iowa , Mlssonrl , Wisconsin , Minnesota , South Dakotn.HNiflSraBka , Kansas , Indiana Michigan and -Ohio , disease Is reported In 111 counties. There have been thousands o' pljrs from twentys to 140 pounds weigh shipped from Nebraska and South Dakota Into Iowa , Illlnel * and other states , and It Is principally nrifcng these hogs that the disease started aad spread to native hogs.

The Evening Posl says : Today's advances In nearly all security property rounded out the week. The bear adventurers In Chicago Gas had a llttlo more rough treatment ad mlnlntered , as In this stock It usually Is , by "Inside" Interests.

During- the past week the money market relapsed Into lethargy. The only probability of Improvement lies in the Issue of foreign loans. The prospectus of a new Houmnnian loan of 5,000,000 has been Issued. U fid s the Chine e and Japan ese lonns , Austria and Spain nre likely 10 Issua loans , If they are Issued the money rates In London will be raised. The canard relative ta an Anslo-French dispute had u serious effect upon the market here. Many weak speculators were shaken out , but wary operators , knowing the source of the scare , took advantage of It to reap a good harvest. Uuropcan bourses were less affected than London. The continental operators , knowing the rumors were un founded , bought freely In I ndon. The | > o- sttlon of the muiket was strengthened by the elimination of weak operators , but much nervousness remalnn on account of the Chl- nese-Jnpanese war , the Illness of the czar and the petty calls on money. The closing prices of the week were a trllle lower. American railway securities nt the close were better , the tone of the American mar ket having been less affected than that of the other departments , but showed a frac tional loss for the week. Louisville & Nash ville was down 'i per cent , u.nd Central 1'a- cllio , Erie seconds , Bllsjourl 1'oclJlc and Nor folk & SVentern weio each down 1 per cent. Canadian Pacifies were firmer.
