O ONE will oven
presume to say that
Omaha's Inaugural
running meeting Is
not a glorious and
unqualified sue-
ess. That is a fact
patent to every
man , woman nnd
-J child present yes-
afternoon.
H was by long odds the largest crowd that
over assembled at nny sort of a racing ses
sion in this city , and at times the
pitch of enthusiasm was souioUilng
that was almost startling. Everybody
seemed to enter into the spirit of the
affair , and the solitary complaint was that
there wasn't enough of it. The grand stand
was filled to its utmost capacity with excited
mrn and gaily attired ladles , whllo the quar
ter stretch was a sea of handsome ntul
stylish turnouts. Never , for nn Instant , was
the Interest allowed to flag , and so admir
able wcro the arrangements and so promptly
nnd systematically xvoro the various events
run off that only universal commendation
was heard for the Omaha Jockey club.
That the organization has scored a ton-
strike will admit of no dispute or contro
versy , and If the same high standard of In
terest and excitement Is maintained through
out the three days meeting the club may
well retire satisfied upon its laurels. No
meeting over held in Omaha was so replete
with pleasurable demonstrations , and the
individual bold enough lo claim that the
thoroughbred is not the unimal for the masses
can only do so at the cost of his reputation
.for Judgment and sanity. The high strung
nnd llcry gallopers received an ovation that
attested amply to the rnro amusement they
furnished the assembled thut" ands' and
wore they capable of a reciprocity of favors
they would bo straining nor * o and sinew
and uiuiclo day In and day out for years to
como and then full short of canceling the
debt.
It Wan Ills Kind of WriUhor.
The day was stuffed with caloric and.
whllo physical comfort was a scarce quan
tity , indeed , the condition of things atmos
pherically was just right for the competing
cqulnos. Like the ball player , the sprinter ,
and in fact nil athletes who operate in the
open air , the hotter the weather the better
it is for the running horse. lie fools his
oats bettor in the broiling sun , works out
more satisfactorily , and is enabled to tra
verse space at a rate much hizhor than ho
could hope to show in a cold or humid
atmosphere. Had it not been for the
woeful condition of the track , the crowd
would have been treated to some marvelous
performances , considering thu quality of the
nags striving for the mastery. As it was ,
their work was more than creditable , for
the track was but a circular strain ] ! ° ' llllld
from scratch to wire. The. tremend
ous rain storm of the night pre
vious seems to Invo concentrated all
its splto and vehemence 'fin the driving
park and up to noon it looked as if It woulp
bo next to impossible to pull off the after-
* -noon's card. A brigade of scropers and
shovolor's was set to work , however , and as !
early as , half-past U they succeeded lagot-
ting the track in nt least n possible condi
tion , and promptly at a quarter to ! 1 , amidst
an outburst of appiauso , the horses were sum
moned from the stables for the first event of
the day.
The Second Infantry band wns on hand
and interspersed the program with some of
their choicest renditions , which served ad
mirably in preserving the Joviality and good
feeling among thp people in the stands.
The Judges were W. J. Perry , C. M. Smith
and G. 1C. Black , and adequately did thej
fulllll the dollcato functibns of Oiohofllco
The timers were John W. Cribble and John
Callahnn , and the starter John A. Tutlnll
the manager of the club. Ills work was
superb nud would have reflected credit on n
Sheridan or a Pottlnglll. Ho never wavered
wus thoroughly impartial , and business uor
sonified from A to i/zard. There was no
Joek with a mount clover enough to worl
John A.
Prom the descent of the flag ou the orig
Inal starters the sport was thick , fast am
furious , und the Immense crowd was kupl ii
a furore to the very close.
Dim Tucker Took the Tir t.
An oven half dozen run in thu opening fou :
and a half furlongs , the Boston Store stake
or at least appeared at the post for tin
chase , Itotl Light boine drawn. Owing to
the seeming intractability of lo ! S , the
favorite , there wus a tiresome delay in
getting thu string off , but this wus finally
.accomplished in fair hope , ' ban-Ing tbo fact
that Ike S. was loft slick and clean. But
BO just was the start , howuwr , and so uu-
cqurvocully did the b'.unio Ho with ike's
rider , that the crowd cheered vociferomlv
> hcn Starter Tuthill gave them the \\oni.
Dan Tucker Jumped Into the van nud wus
never headed , in fact teoro was ft show of
'daylight botwocn him and his most am
bitious rival lor the entli-o Journey. The
light down the stretch for second phu-o be
tween Prod S and Pittk-oat was "hot paper'1
indeed , Prtd S getting his swarthy no lo
under thu wire first by the closest shave
imaginable. Dan Tucker won by a clear two
lengths In the moderate llino of 1:05. :
% In the second event the Palace Htablo
purse , $ , ' 00 , half mile and repeat , Tell Tain
was almost a.prohibitive favorite , but Just
why the most knowing horuouian on the
track would have been utterly umiblo lo
stato. Alonzo was drawn "at the last mo
ment , Ansel Muld skipped into the lead ,
und making all the running round to the
stroti'h entered for homo a good length to
the good. She wus challenged here , how
ever , by Toll Talu , and the chase down to
the wire was nn electrifying ono. Toll Tale
mining nndor finally a half length the best
of the Mold , with Tangle Pool third and
Petticoat last. Time : K % .
To the surprise of ovary ono Tangle Pool
vaulted his big sorrel nulklnto the front In
the set-oiid , and despite the frantlu efforts of
Toll Tale's Jockey was never collared. Tlmo ;
.
The two heat winners eot away head and
head for the decisive dush , and it was nip
, and tuck ulear homo , Tangle Foot proving his
worth by dashing in alter entering the
Btrutch two full lengths ahead of the favor *
Itu. Time : '

Five platers faced the starter In the mile
atyl repeat , South Omaha Stock exchange
pui-bo , f.'tOO , and a pretty chuso they made in-
deoa , Frank Clnpp was ultimately made
favorite , with Nettio S having the call very
often , but despite this fact a ix > t of
ii'onoy wont on Keystone , Bottle Broeck
nnd Al Tare , the truth of the matter
wns there wasn't n bettor on the grounds
that luunv one horse from tlio other so far as
their capabilities went. It wus n shako-bug
u tin Iron thu betting , If there ever wus one ,
llottlu Broeck took the loud 0:1 : thu first post ,
nurd pressed bv Nettle U , But Bottle was
out for thu.stuff and she kept In front all tha
way , winmutr handily In I:6i2.k : ,
Al Taru got a show thu best of the getaway
away in the second , and to tcttify lo hU up-
probation of this courtesy , ho never surron

game attempt to oven up with him down the
treU-h , n did ICoytttonollfeowUo , but it was

It was u beautiful match for the third bo

CUIUAOO , July 4. The Sheridan stakes ,
next to the Derby in Importance , for 3-year-
olds , was the event of the Washington park
meeting today and resulted In the first real
dump the talent has received. Clifford
should have been an easy winner , but Ingo-
mar , from the Hawthorne track , won the
race easily at the long odds of 30 to 1. Ed
ward Corrlgan's maiden colt Tyro at 25 to 1
In the betting wns an easy second and Clif
ford was hard pressed to boat Aldobaran for
third place. The tlmo , 2:10 , was very slow
considering that the track was fast. Clif
ford's price on the boards was 3 to G and the
ring wns made rich by his defeat. Ingomar
was prominent all the way , running under
aD easy pull , Aldobaran being the principal
pace-maker. At the finish Ingomar was
running easily. The race was worth $10,830

WASHINGTON , July 4. Several changes
affecting the military and naval establish
ments went into effect Saturday when the
appropriations for thcso services became
operative. The army feature of the most
general interest permits ordnance authori
ties to commence the manufacture ofia now
magazine riilo. They lost no thnn In carrv-
Ing out the now law , and the manufacture of
ICraig-Jorgcnson , rlllcs commenced at the
Springfield armory Saturday. Annually tlio
output of thu Springfield armory Is iio.OOO
stacks of arins besides repair work. That
number of the now typo will hardly bo
turned out during the first year , as the
workmen will require some time to
become familiar with Its manufacture.
It Is expected that a sufficient number
will bo completed during the fiscal year to
supply regiments of the regular army. 20.000
being sufficient for this purpose. As fast as
the now weapons are supplied Springflelds
M ill bo called in und stored away in the ar
senals. There uro over1 1,000,000 of these
weapons already in reserve in addition to

WASHINGTON , July 4. Secretary Carlisle
has in contemplation a plan to refer to the
Fairchild commission , now investigating ot
the Now York custom house the cases
known as the "hat trimmings cases" for
adjustment. Under a decision of the United
States sunromo court these cases were de
cided against the United States and it was
directed that the excess of aues paid by the
importers on the classification bo refunded
to them. Estimates of the amount to be refunded -
funded vary from $ y,000,000 to $8,000,000.
Thu process of determining the excess duo
on each invoice is n tedious and exacting ono ,
and will require the most searching inquiry.
It will bo fully thrco years before ail the
cases can be Adjusted. The matter has not
been fully determined , but Secretary Car
lisle Is favorably disposed toward the plan ,
which has also the sanction of Assistant
Secretary Hamlin.
Appealed from the Decision.
WASIIIKOTOX , July. 4. The recent decision
of Judge Newman of , tlio United States court
of Georgia , in which the attempt of the
Interstate Commerce commission to enforce
the long and short haul clause of the inter
state commerce act against certain roads op
or.itlng lines in the state of Georgia , was
nullified , was something of a surprise to the
commissioners. AH soon ns the full decision
of Judge Nuwman was received the commis
slon took an appeal to the United States
court of appeals for that district. It Is ox-
'pocied that the court at its October session
will , promptly reverse Judge Newman's
Judgment. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

In this race Mockott , the former cham
pion of the state got no place whatever. He
Stated to THE BEE that ho afterward found
emery sprinkled in the bearings of his

fell out ho had everything his own way. By
spurt after spurt the boy passed his com
petitors , umld the wild shouts of the crowd.

As will bo seen , Omaha.took nearly every

and in a very matter-of-fact manner an
nounced that ho had been held up and shot
In the back at the corner of Thirteenth and

Investigation showed that Mulhlrn was
walking up the stacot , when two men , whom
ho does not now describe accurately , stepped
out of a il.irk corner ntul ordered him to
throw up his hands. Ho did so , receiving for
his pains a counlo of hard knocks on the
head , nnd when ho started to run away ono
of the footuads shot at him , the ball striking
him in the lower part of the back , Inflicting
n deep and painful , but not serious wound.
Mulhirn wns immediately taken to the

examined him and pronounced the wound
not dangerous. The ooctor probed for the
Inillqt , but was unable to find it.
Ho will make auother effort to find
It this morning , and It is moi-o than likely
that in a few days Mr. Mulhlrn will bo
around as lively as over.
Mulhlrn says ho Is not sura that ho could
describe his assailants ; the police , however ,
have an idea that they know who shot the

THE FUNCriON OF BLANO.
of Souio Well Known Warilft ami

There is a jnoro soldierly frankness , a
greater freedom , IOHS restraint , leas
rosjicct for Jaw und ordogin thu wust
than In the east , nnd tliia nwy bo n rca-
non why American uluny la suporioi1 to
Urlllsh nnd to Fronoli , writes JJrunder
MuttliowH in Ilnrper'fl. The catchwords
ol Now York nmy bo as inept anil us
chcup as tlio cutonworda of London and
of Purls , but Now York la not & > s impor
tant to tlio United States as London IB
to Great Britain and us Paris is
to Franco ; it it , not wi domltmtinf , ' ,
not iw ulwurbiiif , ' . So it is that in
America tie ) feebler catchwords of tlio
olty yivo way before the virile phrases
of the west. There Is little to ohooso
between the "How's your poor feet ? " of
London und the "VVoll , J should mnilo , "
of Now York , for neither phruso hod
any uxcuso for existence , und neither
had uny hope of survival. The city
phruso is often doubtful in moaning and
obicuro in origin. In London , for ax-
ample , the four wheeled cub is culled a
"growler. " Why ? In Now York u can
brought in filled with beer ut a bar
room la trt culled a "growler , " und the
act of Bonding this can from the1 nriviito
house nnd back is called "working the
growler. " Why ?
But -when we find a western writer describing -
scribing the effects of tangle-foot whisky ,
the adjective explains itself and la jus
tified ut oiico. And we discover imme ; :
diately the daringly condensed metaphor
In the sign , "Don't monkey with the
buzz-saw ; " the picturcsquenosa of the
word buzz-saw and its lltuosa for service
are visible at a glance. So we under
stand the phrase readily and appreciate
its force when wo read the story o :
"Buck Funshaw'a Furjorul , " and arc told
"that ho never wont back on his
mother , " or when wo hoar the defender
of "Banty Tim" declare that
"Kfona of you Ucb.es the boy
He'll vrrestle liU hush tonight in boll.
Or my name's cot Tiluan Joy , "
To wrestle one's hash is not an elegjn
expression , one must admit , and It la no
Ikoly to bo rulopted Into the literary
nngungo ] but it is forcible at least , nnd
tot stupid. To go back on , however ,
bids fair to take its plnco lu our speech
a phrase at once useful nnd vigorous.
From the wide nnd wind-spread plains

t has boon suggested that the word Is a

.he west still deserves the credit of Imv-
ng rescued It from dosuoludo. From

came boom , nn old word again , but with
i new moaning , which the language
iromptly accepted. From still further
vest came the use nt sand , to Indlcato

Unirlnnd knows ns grit , and old England
as pluck ( a far loss expressive word ) ,
rom the sou t Invest cnino clni-h , from
