John Helm , of the Ogden house , was yesterday jtre.sonted with an elegant fish ing rod which was brought to him by L. U.

'Iho rod is made of laneewood , and is a beauty , It weighs only ten ounces , and when packed in its case weighs in all only seventeen ounces. One of tlid evening papers recently made the announcement that the street cars hereafter would run every ten min utes. Yesterday morning It looked to the passenger on the car that left the transfer at 11 o'clock as if they were to run on an hour's headway instead of ten minutes , as the ear waited at the dummy depot over fifteen minutes for three pas sengers.

Yesterday opened cloudy and not very promising for the races , Unt no rain fell and the track was dry and in excellent condition , a little too dusty , but in the afternoon there was just a sprinkle , which hclpsd some and intu'lercd not at all. The worst feature of the weather yesterday wac the wind , which blw fetoiilly iii the faces of the horses as they came down the homo stretch , keeping them from making as good time as would otherwise have been recorded. The attendance was fair , and never have there bean races whlcii ontiM'd more enthusiasm and excited more Interest. The contests seemed to bo honest ones , and the horses wens sent to win. There were many starters , anil fast ones. The horses got oil' much easier than usual , and there WHS less of the scoring so tedious to specta tors , and yet so .seemingly indlspensiblo to a IIOIMJ race. There was perfect order on the grounds , and many ladies were in attendance who seemed fully as much in- teiosted as their masculine attendant.1) . The balloon man did notgo np , having run short of wood with which to gener ate hot air , and the wind doubtless being an actuating cause. He promises to mount into the air to-day , however. The dogs ran a race \ylitch pleased the boys espec i ally. These side features prove of little interest in comparison with the races. The first event of the afternoon was the finish of tlie'JW : : race , four heats of which were trotted Tuesday. Great in terest was taken in this , as it was evi dently a cent jst for blood. Consul , who had been sold the day before , had a now driver , the noted Ben Walker. The horses trot an easy start , the positions being Itowluy Hauler at the pole , Alnieta second. Logan Chief.CoiiMil. Jerry L had been drawn. Before reaching the unarter pole Corsnl went , on" his feet badly , and was broiight. nearly to a stop. Rattler kepi the lead to the half.Logan Chief and Almeta following lapping each other. Consul iiiislu'.d along and soon after the half trot his nose ahead and kept to front easily , passing under the wire as winner of the heat in 2:27J : , without a stroke of the whip. Almela was second , Lo an Chief third and Rattler fourth. The next heat proved the deciding ono. It was a pretty heat and a fast one con sidering the wind , which came into the horses' faces as they came down the homo stretch , The start was a line one. Lognn Chief took the lead and kept it to the quarter , but Consul kept steadily at work and lapped him on the half , and then they went nose and nose , seeming from the distance of the stand like one lior.se mov ing. Rowley was several lengths be hind. On turning into the stretch the white nose of Consul was seen poking ahead , and while Logan Chief was strongly urged Consul proved too speedy and came under the wire two lengths the winner.

There was some trouble in getting a start , and the judges began talking live dollars to the drivers. After Jack Rapid , Mattie Stipp and Mattie Harlo had each contributed that amount , they got off. Little Matt m Harle pushed to the front before the quarter was reached and trav eled along so easily and speedily that it tieemed she would bo generous if she did not cause them all to catch the Hag. Ex press and Mattie Stipp were crowding tip a little by the half , with Jack Rapid keep ing fourth place. Mollie Cooper broke badly on the naif , but when she got down to business traveled nicely and made np much of the lost distance. Mattie Harlo began to weaken on the third quarter , and when thu horses came into the home stretch Express had his no.se ahead and came in the winner , closely followed by Mnttic Stipp , while Matlio Harlo us third was lapping her. Julia Leo came in fourth and Jack Rapid fifth. Mollie Cooper got the Hag. Time 2:24 : } . The second heat was largely a repeti tion of the first. Mattie Harle sped along well until the half mile pole , Mattie Stipp kept steadily in second place from begin ning to finish. Jack Rapid kept third in the race for the first half , when Express pulled along stead ily and surely past him and niter keeping neck and neck for n little distance with Mattie Harle , passed the little mare who dropped into third place as they turned into the homestretch. In this position they came under the wire , Express winning tlio heat in 2:21 : } , Mat tie Stipp second. Mattie Harlo third , Julia Lee fourth , Jack Rapid fifth. Ex press showed himself an easy , speedy goer , making the heat easy , while Mattie - tie Harlo , of whom much was expected , had to take the whip to retain third placo. much to the disappointment of her friends. The third heat was the deciding one , Express winning the heat in 2:27 : } . On the first quarter Jack Rapid led for the first time , Mattie Harlo , Mattie Stipp , Express and Julia Leo following in the order named. On tlio next quarter Mattie - tie Hnrlo had gained tlm lead , and Jack Rapid had dropped to third placo.

She \yns not in the best condition , siio having joon one of the horses which went through the lire at Omaha , and not having fully recovered.

In thu roadster contest there are fi\o entries. Besides these , iherp will bo a dog race and balloon ascen ion. of Von no. Thcro are some strange conllicts grow ing out of changes of venue. Ono of the chief troubles seems to have arisen be tween Mr. Wave , who as county atlornoy is Iho prosecuting attorney in the slalo cases hero , and Squire Hondricks , as hon est a magistrate as ever was chosen to fill the position of justice of the pcaca. In a state case brought before Judge AyleS' worth some time ago , Mr. Ware , as pros eotilinjr attorney , had Judge Hcndrlcks snbpienacd as a witness , although the latter denied that ho know anything about the case. As the defense asked for a change ot venue from Judge Ayles- worth , this summoning of Judge Hen- drioks as a witness nnido it appear that the prosecuting attorney did not want to try the case before Hondricks. The the ory being that the state is willing to trust any ot its magistrates with n hear ing of its cases , and the prosecuting at torney saying so plainly lhat ho , as a rep- ruicninliyo of.lho stale , did not want to trusl ir betoru Justice Hondrioks , Iho lat ter naturally took it as an insult. Judge Ayleswonh sent the case to Hendrieks , despite the sunmmi , and Ware was mad. When the case came before Hondricks' court \Vnru \ was ponty , and thu court and nrosccuting attorney did not havea love feast. The atlornoy got hot at what ho deemed a wrong ruling of the court on some motion anil dismissed the cases. Yesterday Mr. Ware showed that ho had not forgotten or forgiven , The cases of MoN'ulty and Yitlle , for assaulting Spiers in a .saloon on Broadway , oamotm before Judge Aylesworth. The defend ants asked for a change of venue , by which the cases would no sent to Justice Hciidricks , the next nearest magistrate. Mr. Ware , as representing the slate , then filed some very strange objections to hav ing the cases tried before llendrlcks. In hie atlldavit ho set up the claim that Jus- tieo Hendrieks was prejudiced against the attorney for the state , and the right * of the slalo could not be rightly rep resented. He swore'that the inncistrntc ofuses to allow him. as state's attorney , 0 examine any of thy lilps and record * in ijs otllcc. in wliioh the stale has an inline- liate and dlrccl interest : that upon joint nformntions liu magistrate allows dc- 'cndant's to be trio I separately , making great embarrassment and unnecessary jxpense for the .state , the magistrate re- 'uses to outer of record the objections n'operly and locally made in benalf of : ho slate , anil greatly embarrasses and irojudices the intoro lsof the stale. Jndgo Ayl(3 worth concluded that if the Utornoy for ( lie slate and .Justice Hen drieks were .so at swords' points as to make it dlllicnlt to try a ease there , he should send the case olM'whore. Then the attorneys for the defense , Limit & Mynster , seeinc that Iho cases would go to Justice Schur/ . filed objections to him , and Iho cases wore sent to Justice Frainoy. The showing of hot blood on the part of Ware will not make the public think my less of Justice Hendrieks. Mr Hendrieks is an old resident , who has gained n .standing and reputation here which cannot be injured by any such proceedings on the purl of the jounger man , who has been placed in tins position jf county attorney by the action of thu jourd of supervisors hi election de fending on not nvm * half a do/en voles , ivhilo Jnsliee. Hendrieks was elected by the people directly. If personal qtiar- , 'flls are to cause > tito : cases to be tossed lithcr and thither , or dismissed iltogether , because Iho court and Its ridings nro not exactly in accordance with the wishes and views of the attor- ley rii ! > ro. onting the stale , It is high time thcro was a change. If this is tun precedent then the county attorney should he elected tlrsl , and then let him lame the justices who are in his opinion suitable persons , and with whom ho can work in harmony. There is little use for he people to elect justices if a personal 'celing between an attorney chosen by tlie board of supervisors and justices chosen by the people causes juslieo to bo hwarted , and the trial of criminal eases ulorfcre.il with. Wanted Moro Kerry TrnliiH. For several weeks past il has been ini- lossiblo for the ferry ears lo accommo- lalo more than half the teams who have wished to go over thu river. There las been a constant stream of wagons of every description from day break till dark trying to gain admiltanco to those cars , while many drivers who have at tempted it , have loiind on reaching the depot their chances so poor they have returned their conveyances lo the stab le .ind had to KO over without them. This could bo easily remedied by the Union Paeilio pulling on another box car with the ends knocked out and starling the ferry cars from Council Bluffs about 5:80 : or 0:00 : o'clock in the morning instead of 7:05 : o'clock. On Broadway each morning there are teams us earlv as 4:30 : o'clock in position to await tlio first trip. The ferry cars could easily bo dispensed with on the 10:25 : run , and put onlo an earlier run in Hie morning. i Council Bluffs is now supplying Omaha with a great many brick , llowcrs , grapes and fruit of all description , as well as vegetables and the 'loss by detention waiting several hours for a chance to get on the ferry cars is'grejitcr than many persons would imagine. , llo Pulled It Ou Him. * Ever since .lake Rogers sold out his 'bus line he has been talking c.itllo ranch in Nebraska , and every 'time ho meets MeGrew , the insurance man , lie Iries to induce him lo invest his surplus cash in 3'earling calves and open tip a ranch out in Nebraska. YestoEdayi MeGrew was walking by Ihe Pacilip house when Jake opened out on him as follows : "Say , Alack , when are j'onTj'omg to < ro to Ne braska with me and open up' that 'oatllo ' ranch ; yon see you can buy yearlings for fiom fourlceii "to eighteen dollars per head , and feed them on grass for about two years and- " That selllea it. Jake never said another word. MeGrew has attached to his upper riirht-liand vest pocket a chest nut protector , wiiicii consists of a little sailor's electric boll , and when Jake started in on his same old cattle ranch story , Mack started the bell on him , anil the ex-omnibus man fell off the window- sill. The boll is a clipper , and MeGrew carries it in his vest pocket , and when a man commences on him with tlio same old chestnut yarn ho starts it on himand that settles it. MeGrew , you know , is a real quiet sort of feliow , and has to keep a chestnut protector to keep alive. It AVixs the Sun. "No. my darling , the rod on my nose is not from liquor , it is the sun. " So said the proprietor of one of the largest wholesale houses in this city on his. re turn homo the other evening when his wife mot him at the door. You see , one of our wholesale cigar men thought ho would take a trip on the road last week just for a change and to get a little fresh air. Bold Watson is Iho regular traveling man for tlio linn , and is a hustler , and the color on his nose is caused by Hie hot sun vhcn he drives from ono town to another. The pro prietor took a few grijH , drove from Lopaii to Magnolia and got his face all reddened witli the sun. lie also stopped all night at the hotel in llondamin. lie is now at homo waiting for the races to come off. His wife thought the red on his nose was something flso , and he is wailing for Watson to come in so ho can show to his wlte what an effect the sun has on a man when ho drives across the country in an open bnjrgy , It is a fant , but the proprietor says : " \To , thank you , 1 will stay at home the balance of the your. My health is no bctlor , but I have n healthier color. " Another Sain of Consul. The reported sale of Consul to Mr. Smith , of Maplelon , for $10,000 seems to have fallen through. Mr. Smith wiis to arrive last night with the wherewithal lo complete the purchase , but yes- terdav afternoon Omaha parties ne gotiated for the sunsaiiopil : lior.se , and paid down a portion , of , the purcliaso prleo , which was fixed ill $10,000. the balance to bo paid lo-ttoy , when the horse will bo delivered bv MKBalloy. The now purchasers arc C. E. Mnyilu and Dennis Cunningham. Consul is cntored in tlm Omah.a < and Lincoln races , and will doubtless .out down Ids record Iho re. The reported change of ownership from Mr. Bailify to Mr. Smith , and now from Mr. Bailey to Mayne and Cunningham , formed'tho.topic ' of much talk on the track yeste.rday. The Tnlilq Turpod. J. E. Harris , the whitu < man who was on Wednesday fined 8100 by Judge Aylesworlh for losing his silver dollar m n "coon" house , not being satisfied wont before Justice Frainoy ami swore an in formation against Iho colored woman for keeping a house of prostitution , She was held in the sum of f.'OO for appear ance before the grand jury , which she furnished , and then hied information against Harris for frequenting her house of prostitution.
