Where they made their find , or whether or not the bought the real article at all , in a point that they refused to apeak upon. It is not at all unlikely that the contents of lemon i-xtruct bottles or of aarsapar- ilia gave thorn ouongh of their longed- for ( Ire water to send them into the dreamland of their happy hunting ground. When they nro unable to get whlskoy , the Indians very frequently got alcohol In this manner.

[ From Saturday's Dally. ] While the lecture-recital of Charles E .Watt , of the Chicago Piano college , at the Congregational church last night was highly successful so far as the music went , the entertainment was a grand disappointment to per sons Interested because of the very small attendance.

Of the many music lovers In the city , however , but a comparat ive handful of auditors listened to the program. There was music In the air down town at the merry-go-round and at different places , which all seemed to bo pretty popular , but the classical did not draw.

Some Pretty Runs Were Made .by the Contesting Teams Change In Running Arrangements , Teams Go ing It Individually. [ From Wcdnesdtiy'B Dally. ] Though the track was still a bit soft from this morning's rnln , It was nevertheless In surprisingly good shape for the start at 2 o'clock. A larger crowd than that of yesterday , enough to comfortably seat the grand stand , had assembled before the trap was sprung for the Initial run. run.The The air Is much more comfortable today for the racers than during the first afternoon , and the athletes be fore the program started thought that they would make some good marks. The outcome has not been moved , according to yesterday's plans. Plorco Is a newcomer In the as sociation today. A team has just arrived for entrance In hook and lad der races , class "B. " Albion also has a now team In this field. A change has boon made In the running arrangement today. In order to give more precise tlmlngand to give each team the same chance , they are running Individually , against tlmo. This makes only three timers necessary. In order to avoid all possible partiality , separate timers will have charge of class "A" and class "B. " They are : Class "A" C. A. Illlsobeck , of Holdrego ; W. B. Vail , Norfolk ; George Thomas , Ne braska City. The judges are the same as yes terday , Shlck and Smith. Starters are the same , Hull and Applehy. At promptly 2 o'clock Harrison's band began the program of today's events with an Introductory number. The first race was the regulation hose race , class "A , " for 250 yards. The teams running , and their order , wore : York , Fremont , Stanton , Seward and Kearney. York made the run In good shape , hut failed In coupling and lost out. Their time , ns caught from the out- side , was about 3it i-5. ! This Is the first time their coupler has over failed. Ho has been at all tourneys , and Is considered sure. The hose was not laid just right for him. Fremont made a beautiful run and a very pretty copnllng lu ill 1-5. The Seward team Is ono of the lightest on the grounds , but are pos sessed with the proper spirit to win and are hard workers , Individually nnd collectively. They arc getting their full share of the prize money through their energetic work. A great many Norfolk people wore In the grand stand this afternoon. There was considerable betting over today's events. After York lost the regulation , her backers wore Hashing much currency In the track and grand stand. Kearney made a good enough run but were slow In coupling , making the tlmo for their race IS ! fiat. Stanton made a run In about 35 but got no time because Al Marks , of whom much was expected , failed to put the coupling for three threads. Seward made a beautiful run and tied the tlmo of Fremont , 34 1-5. The coupling was very pretty. This gives a tie on first money , and the money will be divided between Seward and Fremont. Timer Ullsebeck had a coat and pair of shoos stolen yesterday at the grounds. The Championship Tomorrow. As to the championship race to morrow , which promises to be the big feature of the three days , nnd for which many outsiders nro ex pected on the noon trains , there Is still much difference of opinion. York on her very speedy team , which won nearly everything yesterday 'and from whom great things are ex pected because of her record so far , Is wiling to place her all. Fremont Is equally ready to back her team and Stanton thinks that they have a good show of taking the belt. Al Marks Is usually very fast , and the team certainly can run. Seward has a swift aggregation , too , and the Kearney boys think that if they can get Into shape , they will show some worth while speed. "Unless wo fall on tlTo coupling , " said a York man , "wo have the race clinched. " The team did not run last year. "Wo have the belt clinched by all odds , " said a Fremont supporter. The prospects are excellent that tomorrow will bo the largest nnd best day of them all. With the cham pionship races , and the street events , to conclude with the pageant of the Royal Tiger club In the evening , it is fully .expected that the crowds will bo as much greater over those of to day , as today has been over yester day. Late Events Yesterday. The closing of the afternoon yes terday brought the best features of the day. The state record for the coupling run was broken by 1-5 of a second In the run of the York team , tlmo 33 3-5. The turn was simply superb mid those who saw the state record smashed cheered lustily. This race gave a prize of ? 50 to the winner. Fremont was second In 34 3-5 and Seward third In 34 4-5. Stanton made a good run but was slow In the coupling. In the first heat of the firemen's handicap foot race for 150 "yards , Haincr of York won , time 15 ; Bob ble Burg took second , tlmo 1C 2-6 and .1 , E , Benlsh. or Norfolk , took third , tlmo 10. In the chief's race , Al Marks of Stiinton ran the 100 yards the best , In 102-fi. There was but ono prize , a lantern valued at $25. MONDAY MENTION.

Hotel Corridors Were Thronged With the Firemen 1Raln Sent the Mid way Display Curtains Under Cover People Slept In the Street. [ From Wednesday's Dally. ] The second day of the tournament of Nebraska's fire fighters was ush ered In amid dark , discouraging clouds In the heavens , which con tained any amount of rain water and dropped a goodly portion of it upon the city. For three hours this morn ing the moisture beat down upon the tourney and kept the laddies indoors , with no chance for carrying out the forenoon program. At 9 the storm began to break and fair weather re turned. In the hotels , where hundreds of the runners lounged about during the rain , the racing was the principal topic of gossip among the visitors. The dampness hardly affected their spirits. The firemen are good fel lows , and "It's always fair weather when good fellows are together. " The midwayshows had to haul down their gorgeous curtains to keep the beautiful ladles from getting faded and discolored ; the lemonade man had to lock up the joint and get within ; the merry-go-rounds were still and gloomy and at the shooting galleries there was nothing doing. , Many of the firemen got out upon the streets as soon as the skies cleared a bit , and they entertained themselves. Some of them bought tiny umbrellas of red and white , oth ers joshed the "beautiful ladles" and the rest of them killed time generally. On account of the rain , there will be In all probability a portion of the program to be carried out after to morrow. The afternoon races can bo managed all right , but those that ought to have come during the fore noon will likely go over. The outcome of the track nas been moved until it Is squarely In front of the judges' stand. There will not be the delay hereafter that was ex perienced yesterday. Fines will be imposed after this. The receipts yesterday were $225. As a sign of the number of people who are in Norfolk , the lack of beds may bo noted. Every hotel Is chucked full and overflowing , hun dreds of extra cots were taken and some even slept out upon the streets , rolled In blankets. A large number of persons arrived this morning for today's events , sev eral hundred coming from the west. Tomorrow's crowd will bo the big gest yet , on account of the champion ship race. York seems to have a good chance at the winning , although Fremont claims to bo able to carry away the prize. Other teams , too , from Kearney , Grand Island and Seward think they can put up a good proposition. TUESDAY TOPICS. Mrs. A. P. Pllger is in the city from Madison.
