The weather yesterday was every thing the management of tlio driving park could wish , and still for some reason most of the seats in the amphi theatre were unoccupied. The track -was in splendid condition. The first race was the thrcc-minulo class , purse $200 , § 100 to first , with the following entries : American Girl , Brown Dick , JJrown Wilkcs , Clarence II. , Cyrus , Golden Rule , Jim Mace , Lucrcco , Newt. F. , T. J. Potter and Sleepy Prank. The horses received. the word "go" in good style , with Brown Dick at the pole. Ho lead to the half-mile pole. There Tom Potter crawled up nnd narrowed the distance between them. Jim Mace acted in such a man- iiorthnthis namesake wouldboashamod of him if on the grounds. At the thrco-quartors milo polo Tom Potter came up to Dick and rubbed his ivhccls. Coming down the lionio stretch both horses did their very best to reach the wire first. The crowd at the grand stand gave the heat to Brown Dick , but be fore they reached the wire Potter took it away from him by half n length , nnd was first under the wire , with Brown Dick second and Cyrus third ; time , 2'J ] . This wa.s a good .showing for horses which had never Lo.itcn three minutes. The first heat for the 2:30 : class , purse 8500 , pacing race , two miles 4 and repeat , was called with the fol lowing entries : Flying Cloud , Jnmes C , Joe Bowers , Keno , Little Doll , Lone Jack and Thunder. .loo Bowers had the polo. After scoring several times , during which Joe Bowers , Lone Jack and James C. were each fined § 5jand costs for dash ing down the track , the horses went under the wire neck and neck , but immediately Joe Bowers spurted a little ahead , but was soon left behind by Kcno and Lone Jack. The inter est centered in those two horses. Keno paced ahead at the half mile polo and hold his position until half way between the half and three- quarter polo. Lone Jack closed up the gap between the two considerable and was hugging Keno pretty closely. The crowd at the grand stand became 'more interested in the result. These liorscs were doing their best to see Tvhich would reach the wire fij-st. It was almost impossible' to. tell until 1hoy were opposite 'the grand stand on which one the honor of winning the first heat of the race would fall. But Lone Jack darted and was the first under the wire , Keno no second nnd Thunder third. Time 2:22. : The judges hero announced that they would give the pacers twoii- tyminutes to cool. The second heat in the throe min ute class was called. The horses got n good start , Tom Potter nt the pole and leading. Brown Dick , however , gathered in on his hind wheels , and nt the half mile Potter broke , almost allowing Brown dick to lead. Potter a'7ii got down to business , spurted ahead , and at the three-quarter polo it wns evident ho would .have the rest of the race to himself. Lucrcco down the homo stretch did handsomely , and was gaining ground perceptibly. T. J. Potter went first under the wire , winning the second heat in the three minute class , with Brown Dick second end and Lucrcco third. Time 2IaA. : The second hcat.in the pacing race was called. Only four horses appear ed before the wire , Little Doll and James C , having been distanced. The hones scored a few limes and then started without the word , Lone Jack at the polo and Joe Bowers n little ahead. Joe Bowers broke nt the quarter polo and dropped a little be hind. Lone Jack took the lead at the quarter , but was catching Thun der from behind , After passing the Jialf mile polo Thunder lost ground by In-caking , and Lone Jack improving flie time spurted ahead. Thunder t-athered himself together , nnd when at the three-quarters mile polo was neck nnd neck with Lone Jack , nnd .kept BO until within about 100 Is of the wro. | Lpno Jack went n le ahead , ( ying first under the wire len 2:24i : , with Thunder second and Keno third. The third lieat in the throe minute class was called. The horses scored ) Boveral times , when Tom Potter throw a shoo and n smith was called in and some time was occupied iu resetting. When Potter was in shape the horses were called and passed under the wire nearly in idn line , with Lucrcco a little nhend. She BOOH dropped behind , and Tom Potter took the load und kept ii to the end , winning the third heat , und consequently quently the race , in 2:3Jf : ! , with Drown ) Wilkes Bucond , Brown Dick third , Cyrus foutth , Lucrcco fifth , Golden f lUile sixth and Jimu Mure seventh. The purse in this nice wus § 200 ; S100 to first , § 50 to Bocond , § 30 to third nnd § 20 to the fourth. The third heat in the pace race was called , and while the horses wore gif ting ready Emma Leland'a band dit > - coursed uome splendid music from the- 9 \ f amphitheatre. The horses came to lime promptly find started in splendid shape , Ixmo Jack having the polo. This horse fit the ( ] tiarlcr-milo polo was leading the others 1 > y some dis tance , with Thunder right after him , At the half-milo polo Thunder noted badly , and Jane .lack , taking advant age of this , wont ahead and regained about the name amount of the distance that Thunder had taken from him. Thunder , however , got down to busi ness , and at the curve coming down the homo-stretch those two horse * were nbout neck and neck. Lone Jack made n strong pull , shoved his neck nhcad of Thunder's and was first under the wire , winning the heat and the race in 2:2oL : with Thunder second end , Kcno third , and Joe JJowcrs fourth. The purse in this race was 8300 ; 8ir > 0 to the first , 870 to the second , § 50 to the third , and $ . ' 10 to the fourth. The running race , two miles and re peat , was then called , with the follow ing entries : America , Long Stride , Mollie Merrill nnd Resumption. The horses scored a few times , and for be having badly the driver of America wai pulled iu for n fine of So. Long Stride spurted ahead , and nt the Jirst quarter of. the first milo was leading , with Merrill close on his wheels. Half way between the first quarter and one-half milo poles Mol lie darted ahead and loud to the wire , making the first milt' in luO : , with Ho- sumption second , She lend to the three-quarter milo polo , with He- sumption and Long Stride creeping up gradually until tlio turn for the homo stretch was reached , when Long Stride spurted ahead and led to the wire , under which she went first , win ning the heat in U : . ' } ' . ) , with Mollie Merrill second , America third and Ho- sumption fourth , The first heat in the free-for-all race was called , with the following entries : Annie W. , Little Sioux , Loafer , Sciola , Tom Britton and lloso of Washington. The horses got a good start with Sciola at the polo and Little tlo Sioux some distance iu the rear. The little inaro got down to business at the half mile and rubbed noses with Sciola between the half miloand three- quarter milo poles. At the curve it was evident Little Sioux would win the heat. They made a dash down the homo stretch and the cheers for Little Sioux shook the am phitheatre when she went under the wire first , winning the heat in 2:22A : , with Sciola second and A mm W third. The second heat in the running race was called. Resumption tit the word go was a little ahead , but Mol- lie Merrill soon spurted ahead and led the others , with Resumption close on her heels. At the thrco-quartors polo Longstrido came up , and half way down the homo stretch these three horses appeared pretty evenly matcha cd with the distance from the wire a little in favor of Mollie Merrill. America's driver seemed determined that his horse should win the heat and applied the whip freely , but it was no use. Mollie was too much spued for him this time and wont under the wire about a length ahead , winning the second heat in ! J:40 : | , with America second , Resumption third and Long- stoido fourth. The judges docidodthat the running race was won by Mollie Merrill on the ground that Longstride , who won the first heat , had been distanced in the second. The horses called for the second heat in the free-for-all , came to time Sromntly and got a good start , Little ioux takiufj' the polo. This heat was quite an exciting one. The friends of Little Sioux were anxious. Little Sioux took the polo and led hand somely to the one-half milo polo , where ho broke a little but soon re covered himself and was leading at the three-quarter polo , There Anna W. gained ground and from this on until near the ampithcatorit was neck and neck. Anna W. spurted ahead and was first tinder the wire in 2:21 : , with Little Sioux second and Rosa Washington third. After resting n while the third heat in this class was called. The horses came to the wire in good almno , going under with Anna W. taking the polo and Little Sioux hug ging her wheel. Little Sioux broke before the quarter polo was reached , and Anna y. spurted ahead , making in a short time about three lengths between herself and Little Sioux , who broke again at the half milo polo. She soon after down to business. KJiU UUUIl fftftlxVA got UUI11 ! l\J UUOlIlUOn and at the three-quarter pole had nearly regained her lost ground with Sciola , and Anna W. about one length ahead. Coming down the homo-stretch Little Sioux broke again and threw the race between Siola nnd Anna W. These two horses kept nearly neck and nock until they cnmo to the grand stand , where Anna , W , made a splendid dash , going first under the wire nnd winning the third head. Time , 2:254. : The remainder of the nee was postponed until to day , WHY , OH , WHY ? anori.va run THK TUUU INWAIIDNIMSOV A OUIITAIK JKTIMAUV. It is evident to the most casual ob server who has been present nt .the past meetings of our city fathers that for Homo reason they do not lay very quietly in the same bed with our war- thy mayor , or nt least they do not dwell together on the same couch with that spirit of harmony between them that exists between the old loader of the republican hosts nnd Mr , Vnughan. The mayor , with such a backing , can stand the racket. How the mayor , who claims to bo nn old Virginia democrat ot the worst stripe , gets the support of our contemporary , wo cannot - not say , but it is n fact apparent to nil that that paper gives him its cordial support on nil questions relating to the city's welfare , nnd many of its leading article's nro inspired by him. All of which have a tendency to make that paper lor the present a combina tion of talent alike creditable to all whom it may concern on all questions where this combination appears. The Globe , the leading democratic paper of Council Dlutls , is disposed to re main neutral , nnd like the boy who who lost his grip , has nothing to say , and is rather Iqoked upon as a religious daily , while our con temporary , rather than spoil for a a fight and to keep its teeth sharp lietakes n bite at the iron rails upon our \ \ ; \ . streets and throws ink at the city councillor anything else that stands iti its way. Now , why is this ? Why is it that Mr. Chapman nnd Mayor Vnughan are on the best of terms and are ready to butt their heads against anything that appears to have the car- mark of John 'J' . Haldwin upon ! t , The answer , wo think , is very plain. Both our mayor and Mr. Chapman personally despise .John T. Baldwin. Now , if this statement be true , it is a duty they owe to this community to come out and tell the reason why before - fore they carry the fight into our coun cil chamber. Thn people ofj.Council Bluffs do not want their government based wholly upon n quarrel between its leading citizens , and they should look to this in the future and elect a mayor and city council beyond the reach of any faction. TIM TONER. HOW IIK X.MtllO\VfY KSCAl'Ktl ASSASll HINATIO.Y. Wo nro afraid that Tim Toner will bo obliged to return attain to the block nnd hammer. K\er since Mayor Vaughan was elected and Tim was brought into such prominence , he lirii seen nothing but trouble. The police hnvo boon after him , the alloy girls went for bun , the city council stepped On his toes , nnd now hu declares there it a conspiracy in this city to tnko his life , just as if wo could spare him , Not long since D. 0. Bloomer ap pointed Tim as special agent to look after some of his rents and collect them when duo. Tim , it seems , has been several times to colbct rent from n certain family and did not tnke anything on board , "like n good many jcl j , " just to keep him steady. They claim that ho made a good deal of unnecessary cln necessary noise one day this week. Poor Tim went to collect the rent and says that this time the man nnd wornP. siai were making the loud talk. Ho kept as quiet as possible and over heard the following : Mnn "That will never do ; it will break. " Woman "Nonsense ; I have done the same thing before ; don't you remember when wo were in St. Joe ? " Man "Yes : and the next morning it was all , over the floor. " Tim grow pale. Woman "Well , there is a stronger one in the shed. " Tim grew palor. Man "Oh , take a knife and end the job. " Tim's knees began to tremble and ho crept out of tlfo yard and ran to Justice IVainoy's oflico. Ho reached , there breathless. "Did yoz ivir hear the likes of it ? " "Why , Tim , what is the matter ? " "Matter , its murthur. 1 want a warrant , and yo/ must write it as quick as over you can. Mo life is this ininnit in danger and thin what will the mayor do ? " Frainoy Immediately issued a war rant . , deputized Tim as special consta ble to do the arresting , which lie did , jJ bringing j in the accused conspirators , Mr. nnd Mrs. George Cleavoland , before his honor. Robert Porcival appeared for the defendant , and the tustimomy t elicited the fact that when Tim called on that memorable night Mr. and Mrs. Cleaveland were en gaged in putting up fruit. The suit against them was dismissed. USE FOR THE 11OTTOMS. There is no question that every square foot on those awful "bottom lands" can bo made to yield a handsome - some profit. There is no soil like it tor raising watermelons , as any citizen can bo thoroughly convinced by visit ing Mr. S. Suit's farm nbout one and n half miles from this city , located in what is known as Brown's addition. Mr. Suit this year planted two acres with this delicious fruit , and their yield will pay him handsomely. Ho has already sold cart loads of melons , and &ays ho ] ias thousands ihoro to bring to market. Ho says ho can keep n water melon three months in good condition. Wednesday Mr. S. was on our streets with a load of thcso melons , and quito n number of thorn weighed fifty pounds. Ho stated to Tin : BUB reporter that ho had 1,000 melons yet on the vine that would reach that figure. Last week , amongst n lot sold in this market , Mr. Suit had ono that weighed upwards of sovonty-fivo pounds , the largest watermelon over raised in this country so far as hoard from. AH OTHBHS 8ii : HIM. How others look upon our mayor wo find in the Gorman socialistic or gan , the The Chicago Vorboto , the following in a letter written from Omaha by Itodolph Hartmann , who is i among the many Lees traveling in this country , its interesting : "The mayor of the neighboring city , Council Bluffs , like many others , took us to bo the genuine Leo Hartmann , and likp n genuine Virginia cavalier and knight that ho claimed to bo , offered us the hospitality of his homo and protection from arrest by the govern ment of the United States during our slay in the city , at tlio head of whose government he now has the honor to bo. Ho also expressed his antagon ism toward James G. Blaine , secretary of state , ifo states to us that Mr. Bluino was what we would callajanus- faced politician. " That ho , Vaughan , htul sent a dispatch to Secretary Blaine , making inquiry regarding President Garfield's health , and Mr. Blaine didn't deitn ; to answer it , not withstanding the fact that the dis patch cost him , Vaughun , § 0.00. Blaine had treated him worse about answering his despatch than oven Jeff Davis could have done , THE IILUKI'S IN 11UIKF. Ofllcor Cusick states that the report about his caning "Sport" Miller is a mistake. Notwithstanding that ho considers "Sport" n nuisance on our streets , when ho wants to cane anyone ono he will select some of these news paper reporters. The sneak thief who stole the har ness was arrested yesterday by Oflicer Jackson , His name is Anderson and like lUchard HI. , he came into the world with a misshapen form , and wo fear with a mind to match. The thief was easily identified when caught. Captain 1'rico thinks ho will try and got money enough to go in to-day and take in the women. Win. 0 , Lall publishes each day of the races H neat little score-card , which gives the color of the cap worn by each driver in the race , enabling 1 } any one interested to keep track of ? any favorite trotter. One hundred head of cattle were 1 received at the Union Stock Yards Thursday , thirty-five car loads went cast over the Northwestern. To-day the ten mile running race takes ( place between Mrs. Butko nnd Miss ] Piiineo. , Texas , alias the "Bad Nigger , " was taken out of the cooler yesterday morning with n smile on his face and wanted t < > know of Judge Burke what his bill was. The judge told him a night's lodging for a man in his condition - dition was"$8.85. Texas said that if the court would accommodate by throwing off' the eight dollars he thought ho could find a friend to help him to some fresh air. The court could not do this and ho was passed back ngain to nwnit future develop ments. The great question before Judge Burke yesterday was what should bo done with Frank Graves , alias the "Duck. It seems that Frank had taken in the races for all they were worth. Itoiiig thirsty , he , of course , took something to drown his remorse. Ho went to one of our bath rooms nn Broadxvny , but being refused the use of towel and soap , ho declared ho would have a wash if it took one of the "female barrels" to do it in. So ho stripped oil'and placed himself in a coii'lition that would have made Adam and Eve blush. Placing his clothes near the barrel , ho was about to take ft plunge when Officer Sterling caught him ] | nnd took him to the calaboose. Officer Brooks arrested a man on Thursday for being drunk , but ho madt > no resistance and it won't cost him over ? " ) . J. II. Tnto , of Mindcn , in this county , called at Tun BEE office. Ho thinks that the Chicago prices in the trotting park will turn out to bo a mis- ttko. Capt. 1'ricp says that fifty cents for a ticket admitting one to a good scat and twenty-five cents general admis sion would have been about what the people of this city could stand after paying . § 5,000 to grade n street for the association , besides paying a few other no small bills. And still improvements in educa ting our children go on' ' What an educated people wo will bo in a few years ? Only think of asking a girl , "Please , mis'j , where did you attain such nn amount of knowledge ? " "In Council Bluffs. " "Ah , what school did you attend ? " "Oh , sir , I wontto , Farnham's Kindergarten.1' The following was clipped from The Shenandoah Daily Reporter , and as it refers to one of Council Bluffs' little girls wo give it : "It filled our hearts with soi row to see the mental sulfuring - ing of little Nellie , the "Daughter of the Regiment , " as wo have heretofore designated her. At the time Mat thews was injured at the gun she was in the act of handing him a drink of water , for which ho had asked her , nnd when she saw the bravo man's arm blown oft it totally unnerved her , and she ran straight to the battery's tent , where she suffered for several hours , > her big heart .seemingly nbout to break. She is stronly attached to every member of the corps , and as wo saw her lying there with the big tears coursing down her cheeks our heart almost came up into our mouth. " Win. H. Pearson says that ho cnn'J ; afford to pay seventy-five cents for a scat in the amphitheatre and as he wouldn't sit anywhere else ho has concluded not to attend the races. The case of the state of Iowa vs. Shakenasty Jim has been postponed for two weeks , when the preliminary examination will take place. Col. D. B. Dailoy has been retained by the defendant. Miss Pinnoo has mot with the rub bers before'the race has fairly begun. Some of the workmen on the grounds , who belong in the east , are not used to the manners and customs of the fair female riders of the distant Colo- rados. It seems that Miss Piiineo and all the lady riders of the west , when practicing , keep n limb on each sida of the saddle , which of course they have a right to do1 Miss Pinnco had hers in that position during her hour of practicing the other morning , nnd these eastern workmen made u com plaint to Dr. McKuno , stating that i would bo impossible for them to do auy work flo long as tfiese ladies were permitted to ride in such a position. Is 11 Possible ? That n remedy made of such common simple plants ns hops , buchu , man drake , dandelion , etc. , make so many and such marvelous and wondorfu' cures as Hoi ) Bitters do ? It must bo for when old and young , rich and poor , pastor nnd doctor , lawyer and editor , nil testify to being cured by them , wn must believe nnd doubt IK longer.
