The show ground Is always the "lot " the dining tent limo "camp" : and the horses "stock. " Then there Are number. less technical terms applied to the performers which , while realty not slang , nevertheless add to the picturesqueness of the circus folk vocabulary. C. W. William ! , the Individual who Is forcIng - Ing the hiK. long.wlnded trotting session along at Oalesburg , was am of the owletlg- l ous trotting horsemen who would lend no ali toward defeatng the ant-Ilooi selling bill passed by the last Illinois legislature. le. . was one of the wise guys who knew that . the pool box was not concomitant to the success - cess of the trotting turf ali he promised to show 1 doubling world what he knew this mpalgn Yet he hal failed to keep his word , bni instead has 11emonstratell hal ut- terly Impracticable Is a trotting meeting without tbs allurements ot this magic box. Dr main strength he ban been holding up the abnormal Galesburg ! burlesque and In sheer desperation , ali mauger the terror of the law , the J'Olseler were Installed last Mon- day. They mn one day and there was a semblance of ell time life about the grounds , Imim the next day the box wa closed tighter than ever , and agaIn Is the Galesburg meet- Ing 10terllJ along at Its original palsied gilt. ' t Did 11' . Wilams aaain conclude that the trolling turf could get along without the pool box , or did the authorities tip It oft that there was a road lending straight from the Galesburg track to the county jai ? But low did the "gams" get u foothold for a day even , that's the queston ? There has been nothing of u momentous character happened on the turf , either running - nlnK or trolling , during the IJsl week , The great trotting i haw horse , Aznte . made an alenllt al 1 lcFwooJ to rellllce the worhl's record or 2:03 : * 3 , but falod , Time giant son of Whips lade his race recanl of 2OLso : with such apparent ease that Mr. Salisbury accepted - cepted the club's otter of $15,000 to send the big trotter against the world's bet tine. But the fates were against him. The con- ditons were bad and the horse's regular drh'prI'as absent , Myron McHenry holding the reins . The best that he could do was to reach his own race limit . 2:05(5. : This performance - tormance clearly demonstrted , however In the esteem of prominent horsemen , that on a gel day and track and the horse on edge . be can probably touch the present championship - ship mork. Well , the great Labor day championshIp sprint at Rroeton. Mass . was run o ! according - cording to the card , The meeting was suc- cessCul In all details. The crowd was there and the 100-yard world'p record was broken. Kid Sullivan In his prognostications In last Sunday's Bee showed hlmselC to be quite a guesEer. Whie he thought Morris would win the big sprint , he felt that Donovan . tie eastern favorite , hue a great chance. As to the lghtweight lo.yarl dash , the 1ld'g Innate modesty probably was the cause or his not mentioning himself as the top. sawyer. A. It was he said ho would get a place. Well , he dId , and ( first place at that. < Donovan beat out the big acid at profes- slonolg In the chomplonshlp 100yorls In the marvelous time of 9 3-5 , beating the a 'orld's record one.ffh of I second This Is about a8 fast as human pedals can be expected - pectel' to go. Morris , the Kld's choice was second , while Copplp , the Nebraska man , was not mentioned. In the lightweight sprint Sulvan won handily In 10 1-5 and thereby chucked something hike $50 In gold In his exchequer. Holins , the man the Kid most feared , anti ngleman , made a dead heat , and In the anal Sullivan beat Holns for the medal In 10 2.5. Thus , so tar as the "feet runners" are ncerned , Omaha Is stlll right In n. stl n.I I looks very much as I the English athletes who are to go against our own good onES at Manhattan field In October have already got H up In their necks Neither Dradln or Fry , two of their most formidable ( men are with them , and across formllo\le herrllg pond they are now asserting that the New York Athletc ) club has acted with anything but good taste In scooping In the wonderful ( Tommy Conner and In scouring time length and breadth of the land at the free and the home of thoraoe for talent to do them ali battle. This Is a ludicrous wail. The Londoners have gathered together the cream of not only England's athleticism , hut also that of Ireland and Scotland , and surely New York has an unequivocal right to profit by the resources of our own glorIous country. To bo sure Tommy Conner ! Is an Irishman , and has figured on both sides the drink : but America Is the laud or his adoption and \I'e are almost as proud of him as we arcs of these to the manner born. But Tommy ( ' II evidently not the only man the Johnny Dulls are leery of In fact I would be dUUcuH to name a single man of either the New York or Yale clubs the Ilrlliahera han ! sot a heaHhy respect for.

At t last my old business partner , Wilam K. Vanderbilt , has caught the fever and Is about to launch forth 1pon his career lS a turf man.

One of the most shJme'e3 pleats of jobbery over attempted on the to : ttiug track was thH by Jack Curry and Myron leHenry , drIver or Joe Patchen and John H.

The only drawback to the double header Is the fact that this season UncIa Nick Young has been thoroughly unable - able to dig UI even sIx competent men. In view of this fact what will he 110 when he goes out with his little shovel to exhume twice this number ? The argument will bo that If six good men cannot he found , where Is the dozen to come from. Still It will surely be two umpires per game In ! the league In 1896 : Comiskey will take his St. Paul team to I California immediately after the close of the \.ester league season , and will locale at Oakland. Jimmy Manning will also take 1 bald of player to the coast. John S.

From 1he various reports of camping par- ties returning from the mountains , the flsh- Ing has been magnifcent on all the favored streams In Colorado , Wyoming and Idaho and Is liable to conlnue clear up to the freezing time. On the lakes In ! this vicinity the late summer angling Is not proving very attractive , but wi likely Improve during the present month. "Plumber" Read asserts that the reason ho has paid no attention to John J. Har- dln's challenge and frequent demands for a return 100-blrd latch , that so far up to . ditto he has not seen the color of any of ! r. Hardln's money. II this regard Mr. Read Is i emninently correct , 10 challenge should re- celvo any attention unless backed by a respectable - spectable cash deposit , but as ail local sports- men are wel'awae ( , Hardtn generally means business when ho talks shoot and the hasty , posting of an ample surety of his intentions cano confidently looked for. He Is daft to Jet another whack at ! r. Read and nol that a' way Is pointed out to him he must respond speedily or henceforth keep Quiet. A wel known sportsman who returned re- centy from a fishing trip down In the 'Vaubuncey country , stales that the pot hurters and farmers' boys are killing great lumbers oC half grown mallard In that vicinity . cinity . both on Lalldon lake and the Dgelow marstmes. While this II all wrong there Is nothing to be dOle , as Iowa's wild fowl law I ! opens the shooting season as early as August 15. Local gunners are not so' ardent Just now In the pursuit of' chicken as they were before the law opened I Is pretty well understood that the birds are non est and there Is a lull In the departure at hunting parties. This has lent additional attractiveness to the trap and the shooters are all busily preparing for the closing competitive shoots of the season , The club's standing UI to date ts as follows : .

Martin was sort back with a message General Custer Just before the fight began , and In that way his life was save < lie Joined the command In the Black His In 187,1 , relates the Baltimore American ' - can , and of his subsequent experiences says : "In the spring of 1876 , after wintering at Fort Rice , a largd detachment from the Seventh regiment , U. S. I. , was sent word tQ prepare for an expedition against the Sioux Indians under Sitting Bull , In Montana , who were exceedingly troublesome and vicious toward the settlers and troops. Our troops started from leant Abraham Lincoln on May 1. 187 , find well do I remember the day and the bravo appearance the boys all bore as they departed from heallquarters. The entre ! distance , I judge , was between GOO and 600 mils , and we were from May 17 until the later part of June on the march IN CAMP ON TI YELLOWSTONE. "Our first halt-that Is , for any length of tmewas at the intersection of the Iowdtr and Yelowstono rivers , where wo remained several days , until the government supply : boat put In an appearance . When we had been given our rations we resumed . our march , and did not stop until wo had come to the junction of the TonguE and Ye10'.ltone , where \e again awaited the arrival of the supply boat General Terry with the companies of the Sixth and Seventeenth Infantry , bearded the boat , and our cavalry was left to resume the tramp alone General Custer took command - mand of the troops at General Terry's departure - parture . and through his order to were dl. rected to repair at once to . Rosebud valley , with strict instructions to each man toe supplied with rations for fifteen day and 100 rounds of ammunition. This was a signal or future trouble to all 01 us , but I know that every man was prepared for the worst and went out of camp on the memorable 221 day I 01 June determined to fight to the last. "Time regimental band , which had accom- panied us thus far was left at the Tongue river to return to limo fort , and the scene was indeed an affecting one when Generals Terry and Custer held theJr final Interview , and when , after General Terry had issued his instructions - structons to General Custer the hand p'lyel the favorite tune of General Custer , "Gury- owen , " and reture to Fort Lincoln . The Seventh set out for the vale ) and on the evening of the 21h , after a long march of thirty miles , we pitched camp and had just settled down to neat when we were ordered to break camp and mach till daybreak , and then we halted 3galn. That danger was Imminent - minent could be easily undentod by the commander's order that every man should stand by his horse , and eat a light breakfast and drink a cup of coffee . The men scarcely had time 10 swallow their meal when " 'or- tme Iwalow met ward" rang out , and once more we were on the trail of the wild and wily Sioux OHDEHS TO MAHCI FORWARD . "About live miles out from the morning camp Juno 25 , the oflleers' cal was sounded and General Custer gave order for the day. The regiment was to be divided , Into three column' . In which order they were to pro- ceed. The Indians were now about ten miles ahead , and we were to endeavor to overtake them The division of the regiment wu arranged In this order : Five cmllanlel under General Custer to take the right flank ; threa companlf under Major Marcus A. iteno to take the left flank ; three companies under Colonel lenteen to assume the cen- ter , with order to sweep ) everything Deere them , and the twelfth company , under Captain - taln McDolgal , was to bring up the rear In the center I was In General Custer's detachment - tachment and acted 8 bugler o the guud.

The messages to the ofcers were identical , and were signed by General Custer's adJltant , Cook They read as follows : " 'Come on . Big Il loge. Bo Quick. Bring pocks COOK. " 'P . S.
