It was a one-half mile dash , ntid all the above mentioned horses , cxcepl lilnck Tom , npneared. There was some delay before the scoring commenced , caused by n dispute about waxes between n colored jockey nnd the owner of otic of the horses. Scammon Filley got the pole , Silent Frltiml was second , Dave S. third , King Foiosl fourth. Anothei delay was occasioned nt this stagr of the proceedings. The age of Silent Friend was questioned , It having been charged thai ho wns thieo years old. ICd 1'vlo nnd Severn other horsemen weto called upon to pass on the animal's age , and it was decided that lit was of that age , one-year older than allowed by the terms of the race. Ho was accoulinglv luled out. An excellent start was made , but Klnf 1-orcst Immediately jumped to the lead , leav ing Scammon Filley aud Dave S. behind , When the quarter uolo had boon reached Scammon I'llley made a magnllicunl spurt , overtook Forest , and alter r hotly contested race nearly to tin distance Hag succeeded In getting hi tiio load by a length , and with this advantage passed under tlio wire.

These men were mounted , and kept tl'emselvcs busy during tlio races and waw that every thing was ns it should bo. In the first race the distance pole was moved fioma point 100 yards from the judges' stand to a point twenty varils nearer to the same. The shutting out or distancing of the three horses In the lirst race wns prob ably due to this fact , although they were but a lew yards fiom the line nt the time the dis tance ilag fell. _ To-l > ay. -At5 q'clock-the superintendent nnd judges will meet at their respective departments , at which tlmotho latter will iccclve the books from their supcilntondents and at once pio- 3ued to discharge their duties. 0 a. in.

At 10 o'clock the doors were open and from that hour until tlio time of this Eapor's gonm to press there were a mini- ur of people iMitijring , walking through and icaving llio building. The morning liour.s ot Iho day arc es pecially desirable for these who wish to makoanuiol and .studious inspection of tin ? exhibit ! ) .

Tele gram to the UF.I : . ) Whore arc the ns.sa.sslm and consnliators and why the column's \er- diet Is not made public are nuesUons ot the hour here. Duilnic the lirst few davs or even the first week after the sealed verdict Was rendered tlio people waiting , hoping confi dently , as they made believe , that the guilty ones would be brought to justice at once and ( ho whole dnik am' ' bloody plot laid bare to the world. Hut day suecVcded day , and now It is well od to two weeks since the coioncr's Jury adjourned and yet nothing Is known or nccompllshcd more than nt that time. The result has been also.that all paitle.s supposed to bo in nny manner Implicated are gone. The public called for lulurmatlon from the staitas the facts developed , but were denied any knowledge whatever. It was a star chamber investigation. Many of the best judges and most candid men with whom the llr.r. representative conversed thought It ceitaln that had the Investigation been open , nnd as the evidence was seemed pointing to the guilt or oven connivance of any party , an arrest had been made on such parties caie- flilly watched and not allowed to escape as they have been , there would have been no charge for the awful crime nnd blot upon Sioux City's name going unrequited or un punished , D. W. Wood , the attorney for the law and outer league , believes that the time has como when the verdict nnd evidence should bo made public. Ho formeily ac quiesced In the scctot methods employed , but did so on the supposition that nil the facts gained nt the Inquest would bo immedi ately given to thopiopcr unices' . The coionor has gone to his h'onio In niemotopart of the county , pocketing the verdict , and has made no returns to the clcik of the court. It is possible that n mandamus will bo Issued to compel him to com ply with the law. Hut why all this dllloy-dnlliiig. Ever since this investi gation commenced one thing after another seemed to conspire to defeat the ends of jus tice and help the guilty ones to escape. It is stated now upon what some consider good evidence that llov. Mr. Haddock was un- .drnibtcilly killed by a former Wisconsin enemy. In support of this theory the fact is mentioned that Mr. Haddock noticed thin lunn among tin ; crowd in the court house on tliodnvofhls murder , and obtained , by re quest of Attorney Wood permission to carrv arms to defend himself. This is only onu of tlie manv theiies and rumors heard. Keene is prepared to ilimy this oralllrni it in llio ab sence ot testimony. It is ccitnln , however , If such was the case , ho was acting In liar * mimywltli U. L.
