Speaking about sprint races , Dad Clarke
nnd Pitcher AlcNnbb ran 100 yards In Den
ver Saturday night in front of the hotel for
Jv25 n alilu. They had been talking about the
tyuno that nftornooii mid Jad claimed he had
beaten out a hit to llrst on McNabb and Mac
claimed he didn't. ' 1'his led to a banter from
the Denver man for a 100 yard sprint , whleh
Dad promptly accepted. The men quickly had
oil their shoes , the distance wus stepped oft In
the mlddlo of the street , and the nice was
run , Clarke winning by n couple of foot. Mc
Nabb was very sore mid declared that If his
hocks hadn't been so heavy bo would have
beaten Dad out of sight.

FAIIIIIUIIT , Nob. , August 20. [ Special Tele
gram to Tim Dei : . ] Tlio races today have
> een nil that could bo desired. A good
shower of vain fell this morning , cooling the
itmosphero nnd placing the track In a line
condition. The attendance was unusually
aiijo and tlio races excellent. Although the
lefforson county agricultural society has ono
ol the best equipped Uotting parks In the
west , Its accommodations were Inadequate
for the throngs of people that pissed through
its gates today. Every train to the city
brought a largo number of visitors. Thoraces
races were much better.than thoio of yes--
tcrday better as regards the racing , "but
not so good from the spectator's '
point of view , as It was a euso of walk-away
in ono or two of the trotting races. In every
respect thu racing was contested entirely ou
the merits of the horses , and it was the gen
eral verdict of the spectators that the races
were for blood.
In thu 2:10 : stallion raeo inero were six
starters McKurlnnd , ( Jlndlutor , 1'lutus ,
lilnvnn , Appnnoso nnd Trenton. Only two
heats wei-i ! trotted. Idavan , owned by A. J.
IIulo ot Beatrice , nnd who had never ueaten
2:10 : , easily xllstanood the entire field , making
a record for himself of a : * ! .
In the raeo for foals of 1SJ87 there were live
starters. Four heats were trotted , three of
which were won by Knto Cuffrey , owned by
14 , ijiu til iiiimimiui , iMju. iiinoui,5 : ,
broahlng the Nebraska record for horses of

In the ruco for pacing foals of 1SS3 Fred 1C ,
owned by Gould & Alilicr of Fnllorton , Nob. ,
waa llrst and Gumbo second. Time ! i:31. :
In the raeo for futurity fouls of ISbS thcro
was but ono entry that nnd been kept pnld
up , and that was Eddlo Bavos , owned by E.
I'ylo of Ilumboldt , Nob. This was ono of
the richest stakes offered by the association.
Tlio time raado was 3:51) : ) .
The races for tomorrow nro ns follows :
Stake raeo for stallions , flvo entries ; stake
race for foals of 18 * $ . twelve- entries ; stalio
raeo for Nebraska foals of lbS7 , twelve en
tries j stake raeo for foals of 18S(1. ( sixteen

OIIAND Isr.ANn , Neb. , August 17. [ Special
to TUB BUK. ] Everything is being rapidly
placed in readiness for the coming sugar pal-
aeo nnd exhibition.
The sugar palace Is assuming quite a fin
ished appearance. The main tower Is up nnd
looks lofty from any pirt : of the city. The
main portion Is enclosed and the roof will ho
put on by Monday night , when tlio display
rooms will bo next in order and ready for the
decorators. Attractions from all parts of tlio
country are nsltlnp for spare. The sugar pal-
nee has done more advertising for Grand Is
land than anything else.
Tbo exposition building Is about two hun
dred feet square and built In artistic design ;
it is located near the center of the city , con
venient to tlie Union Pacific and B. & M. pas
senger depots. Every arrangement will bo
mndo to glvo all possible Information concern
ing the culture of the sugar boot , to such nn
extent ut least that those who may bo desir
ous of posting themselves generallymny do so.
Tlio sugar factory will bavo begun opera
tions before the date of the opening , and
sugar from the factory \vlll bo on exhibition.
"Tho proof of the pudding Is chewing the
string , " will bo exemplified in presenting
mignr miido from beets ; this will bo more
convincing to many people tlinn anything
could be.
The people for themselves can settle the
question of the price of sugar , if they deeldo
to mnko it themselves. Nearly ono thousand
factories are now required in the United
States , nnd capital can ro.ullly ho found to
build them , when It Is absolutely demon
strated there is money in the business ,
Farmers will grow the beets also , when they
nro shown that they can clear not from $10 to
JOO per nero from the product.
This exposition is tlio llrst of the kind in
the United States and will attract thousands
of people who are anxious to Unoiv for them
selves what tills industry can do for them ;
especially should peonlo from Nebraska at
tend from localities where experiments nro
being made this year. A better knowledge
can bo gained by visiting some of the ninny
fields in this vicinity where heats are grown
this year , nnd by comparing the soil , will en-
nblo them to judge of the adaptlbility of their
own lands nt homo.
Other tiRi'lcnltnral products will bo on ex
hibition. It is also expected that several dif
ferent counties will tultu part in iirosontlnu'
their different products nnd ndvnntngoi ,
Attractions that are useful and beneficial

John Hull nnd Ills dim.
Secretary Proctor has received a pres
ent of u now Enfield rille from the Hn -
lish government as n sample of the style
of tn'tn now in use in the British service.
It is handsomely incased in a polished
wooden box , with silver plates nnd cor
ners , nnd lined withbluo velvet , saystho
Washington Star. It is of the latest
magazine pattern , thirty caliber , nnd
weighs about ten pounds. The notion is
exceedingly strong and positive , the
breech mechanism being thoroughly au
tomatic. The mngnzlno is a sheotlron
case Imlf tin inch thick and about four
inches square , fitting to the under Bide
of the lock. A gate shuts it olT at the
will of thp operator , so that the gun can
boused cither as magazine or a single
firing arm. It is provided with a novelty
in the way of u long range sight designed
to rover distances from 1HOO to U.oOO
yards , but the ordinary sight is not con
sidered as ( ino as Unit in UKO on the
American Springfield rillo. Tlio cart
ridges arc shaped sompwhatuftor the design -
sign of the famous Lobel cartridge , the
leaden ball being incased in a thin stool
sheet for the purpose of preventing the
distortion of the bullet.
Tlio bayonet is of anew design , that of
a broud-bladcd , double-odged knife ,
sharpened at the point. It ( its on the
gun in such ti manner that the sight is
not interfered with , this being a now ad
vantage. The bayonet is provided with
a leather sheath and is useful for ninny
purposes other than that of jabbing into
human vitals. The small caliber of this
gun is soon going to IKS adopted in the
American service , us it has now eotno tote
to bo considered the most effective. A
board will soon bo ordered to examine
the various magazine puns of small onli-
bors , now in use , with n view to the se
lection of a more modern arm for our

Washington Star : Three sections of

the surveyor general for the reason th.it
they "uro covered by trees of tlio se
quoia gigantia variety , some of wliioh
are reported to bo 40 foot in diameter
and from 1100 to100 foot high , constitut

After the reservation hud been or
dered a man by the name of George
llening applied to enter under the act
of Juno ! > , 1878 , a quarter section of this
land. His application was rejected be
cause the land containing the mammoth
trees hud boon reserved. Hubscqucntly
ho made another application to enter
this land , and that also being rejected
ho appealed to the secretary of the in
terior. The hitter in a decision ren
dered rejected the application.
Tlio secretary states that the trees are
regarded as a rcmarknblo nnd rare cu
riosity which should ba preserved , and
to this end the lands containing thotn
were withdrawn from sale and entry , BO
that all questions in regard to lliotn
could bo properly considered. "Being
thus placed in reservation , " continued
the decision , "by competent authority
and for sulllcient reason , it was not in
the power of a party to acquire rights
by treating such reservation ns of no
ctlcct. " llo added that there is no
statute giving general authority to the
president to reserve lands , but the right
of the president to put public lands in

"There exist many reasi.ns why ho should

this [ itirp.xse-it was a republican legislature
that passed the 'Sloiitimb ' law' of the state.
It was a tvpuhllcan governor who gave to
that law his signature of approval , and re
publican administrations have enforced that
