END OF THE RUNNING MEET
Yesterday Oloiod a Somewhat Speculative
Galloping Session at the Fair Grounds ,

"ELL , THE FIKST
mooting of the
Omaha Jockey club
Is history. Us sue-
i cess is questionable.
' ' at-
* 1'he first day's
t on dance , which
footed up probably
11,000 , led the man-
ngomcnt to bollovo
that U had accomplished wonders. But the
second and last days fell far short of expec
tations nnd the margin gained upon the
opening was in n largo measure obliterated
nnd swallowed up. For this there Is no ac
counting , for the management was par ox-
ccllcnco Itself , the field of horses at least
creditable and the weather all that could
liavo been asked.
The question now Is , what does Omaha de
mand in tbo way of summer recroatian and
nmuscmcntl Baseball has boon tried and
found wanting , trotting meetings have boon
unsuccessfully experimented with , foot ball
unnoticed and lacrosse sufllciont only to en
tice a passing thought. It must bo marbles
that the Jocal
nnd pussy-wants-a-corncr
sports crave , and lucky will bo the Individual
who gives a tournament of these soul-stirring
nnd exciting pastimes.
Yesterday the weather , whllo hotter than
the financial situation itself , was well calcu
lated for racing , and yet these that didn't
go out to the park outnumbered these that
did no many times that It would require the
balance of this column to hold the figures.
Wimt the Afternoon Hold.
There were six events on the card and
they were all pulled off with a good deal of
cclnt nnd considerable perspiration. Starter
Tuthlll , instead of being depressed , was
rolling higher than tno breakers on Hot-
ho scV rocky shore , nnd Frank ICinnoy , his
assistant , was fairly scintiilunt with vim
nnd good humor. As n "whipper-in" Frank
is au fait , and can glvo many of the old vets
of the track cards and spades and points up
nnd then back in and win.
The Judges , W. J. Perry , Omaha , C. M.
Smith , Wahoo , nnd A. Slimmer , Carson , la. ,
were all out in uniform und executed the
delicate ( unction of tholr dnlicutu ofllce like
men to the manner born. The timers ,
Messrs. Black nnd Culluhan , never lost a
second in the whole six hours and could toll
Just what time the beer would arrive with
out opening their chronometers. In fact ,
everybody concerned was ebullient with
esprit and good will and the afternoon's
t > port was correspondingly groat.
The Initial event was a three-quarters of
n milo dash for $250 , and was won by Bottio
; Brook , of tor an exceedingly pretty race with
Yankee Bund. Mike Whiting , the big
sorrel that was shot from under General
Washington at the battle of Brandywlno ,
got third , there being only three in the
race , and It was Impossible for any of the
horses in the quarter stroteh to Jump over
the fence and beat him out. Time : 1:10.
Of Cournn the l''iivorlt ' Iost.
The second was a milo dash for $200.
Hurry Wulktr , and ho is well named , for ho
is a walker from Walkersvtllo , was the
favorite at odds of.2 to 5 , with Llmobrook
ttecond choice nnd Clapp third. Lime-kiln
und the peuostrlnn got the best of the send-
oft and , realizing that it was scamper to
the end'or.nomoat , they set n lively n.-ico ,
indeed. At the three-quarters tliero was n
general scramble for place , but when
straightened out for the race homo , Key
stone unbuckled n hole or two nnd the re
sult was never moro in doubt. Ho won in
hand , with Clapp second , old Campana
third nnd Llmobrook taking the dust of the
crowd. Time : 1:48. :
Tell Tale collared the three-fourths dash
without turning a hair. Yankee Bund and
Ansll Maid mudo themselves very fresh in
the go off nnd appeared as if determined to
bid a lasting farewell to to the favorite ana
"Wild Fellow , who Is about ns swift as nn
ice wagon going tip hill. Tell Tale simply
Jogged 'round to the stretch , when by a good
drive Yoomun swung him in a good length
ahead of the Yankee , with Keystone third.
Time : 1:17. :
Three After Ono Purse.
The fourth was another milo for ? 2T 0 ,
which Frank Clapp won , after ono of the
greatest rides of the day. Nettie S and
Keystone both kept him close company until
about a furlong out , when ho began , almost
imperceptibly , to draw away and was finally
enabled to beat Nettie S in by a head or two ,
with Keystone on speaking terms with both.
Time : l:4P : ) ( .
Four platers made up the picnic In the
fifth. It was for a half , with S.'CO us an In .
centive. Petticoat won anyone with half
nn eye might have known that but it was
only by reason of a dirty niece of riding of
Potter , which cut Frou S out of a certain
victory. As a reward for his foul tactics the
Judges promptly ruled the offender off the
track. Fred S second , Buckshot third and
1'arolo tallcmlor. Alonzo , on account of the
hard times , was drawn. Time : 1:02. :
The Consolation purse , three-fourths milo
dash , brought out such crackajack tenth-
raters as Nolllo F , West Side Boy , Uo Do
nnd Iloso Loaf. On a line scml off Nellie F
ran away from the field , with Ilo Do second ,
Itosa Ixiaf third and Lopsided Boy last.

what was wrong with Slrrocco and made an
Insolent reply to P. J. Divyor , for which ho

tolerate Insolence. The second race was a
grand ono. It rosolvoJ Itself Into a
superb duel between Banquet and Pick

S. II. Dorsoy , the Janitor of the Barker
block , nnd T. L. Brown , a colored carpenter ,
were locked up about 'J o'clock this morning ,
the former on a charge of assault , and Brown
for shooting with intent to kill.
The trouble was ou account of Dorsoy's
niece , who. ho claims , after returning with
the rest of the family from a reception , lot
heisolfout of the house to skylark with
Brown. When ho discovered her absence ho
mounted his horse and sailed out after
Brown with a brick.
Ho found the couple on Sixteenth street
between Ilarnoy and Farnam and proceeded
to inflict on the young man a largo and gory
scalp wound.
Brown , after being struck , hit the
trail down the street , hotly pursued by
Dorsoy , and finding himself about to bo
overtaken , turned and flred a shot at his
pursuer.
Block Watchman Bradley saw the trouble
and called the wagon , which convoyed both
men to the station.

counter cheers resounded as Mr. Gladstone
and his colleagues trooped out into the
division lobby. Some of the torlos shouted
" " and ' -Coercion. "
"Gug" . They were an
swered with cries , cheers nnd the waving
of Irish hats. The amendment was lost by
a vote of : 4 to 280. As the loaders returned
from the lobbies all the members were on
their feet to receive them with cheers and
waving huts. Clause 5. which concerns
the Irish uxocutivo authority , was then
, passed by a vote of 334 to 2S'J.
Clause' 0 , which. provides for an Irish
Parliament , with u legislative council of
forty-eight members , was passed without
aebato. The vote was 315 to 300. The
smnllness of the majority and the prepara
tions of the government to proceed with the
passage of clause 7 caused great excite
ment throughout tbo houso.
Eventually the exhaustion of the unionists
gave chairman Mcllor an opportunity to put
the question on clause 7 , which pro
vides lor the constitution of the Irish legis
lative assembly.
Sir James Ferguson , conservative , for
Northeast Manchester , exclaimed : "TUoro
are blanks in this clause. Wo do not know
'what it moans. How can wo vote intelli
gently on it { "
"No question can bo raised at this time , "
replied Chairman Mcllor.
The clause was then carried by a vote of
ai5 to 2S9. The largeness of the majority
evoked loud Irish cheers , which were an
swered by the unionists.
Clause 8 ( which contemplates cases of dis
agreement between the two houses of Irish
legislature ) was carried by a vote of 3-3 to
2U1.
2U1.Tho
The abatement of the confusion loft Mr.
Gladstone an opportunity to move that the
committee rise and report progress. The
motion was curried before the conservatives
fairly realized what was being done.
Mr , Glndstono hastily gathered his papers
and left the Houso.

good tlmos will bo Again inaugurated , Ho Is
n tlrm bollovor In It , although ho s.iys that
bo can give no logical reason why.
It caiuo about in this way : While talking
with a gentleman In the bank an acquaint-
mice canio In and wanted to Iwrrow
$10,000. Ho did not really need It , but
thought that In vlow of the prevailing un
certainty it would bo a good thing to have ,
and ho know right where ho could put It. It
was quite a nervy demand , but the Intend
ing borrower was actually in earnest when
ho asked for the money for sixty days. The
bank president smilo-i ono of bis peculiar
Binilcs and said that the bank wni not loan
ing any money , owing to the general lack of
confidence. The borrower talked a short
tlmo and then asiccd when the bank would
resume the loaning of money. "In sixty
days , " replied the president , and the bor
rower who bad not borrowed went out.
' Why did you toll that man that you
would resume loaning money In sixty daysl"
asked Mr. Kountzo's visitor.
"Why do you ask mo that question ? " do-
maiidud the financier In turn.
"Because just the ono thing I have boon
trying for some tlmo to find out is when the
banks will resume loaning inonoy. "
"Well , I told him so because I bellovo It ,
but I do not know why tho.ro will bo a change
then. I have been to Boston , Chicago , St.
Louis , and through the south , ami 111ml the
bankars nil around the circle saying that
there will bo a change on the 1st of Septem
ber. Wo have been saying all along that
this.stringency was fictitious , that it was
based solely on sentiment , that there was
plenty of money on hand , but still it has con
tinued , nnd there Has been a general lack
of confidence. When I go north , east
and south , and ( Hid a prevailing senti
ment that confidence will return on a certain
date and all will bo well , then I am confident
that 1 will have conlldonco at that time , too.
A day or two ago a prominent man remarked
that wo would all bo wearing diamonds and
I suppose wo will. There is nothing but a
lack of confidence at the present time , based
on absolutely nothing , and whenever the
people conclude to become confi
dent again the pinch will bn past.
Why the time has boon fixed for
the first of September I do not know ,
but that is the tlmo that they are all looking
forward to. It might bo argued that the
session of congress has something to do
with it. Perhaps it has. or it may not have ,
nnd congress may do something or it may
do nothing. However , they are all saying
that the uncertainty will have passed by
September 1 , and , as I said before , I am now
quito confident that I shall bo thoroughly
confident on that date. "

The Washington'National ' bank of Spokane

Trust Cumjmuy i'lilluro.
Mr. W. O. Taylor , manager for Brad-
streot's , said yesterday 'morning that the
failure was absolute , so far as Mr. Carter -
tor and the American Loan and Trust
company was concerned , and ho was sat
isfied that not a stockholder would
save a dollar of the 8400,000 paid in. Ho re
gretted this exceedingly , because the bulk
of it was eastern inonoy , and it would have
a tendency to glvo Omaha a black eye in
Now England , when as u matter of justice
Omaha did not deserve it , as the investment
company had not placed the money here
had done little for the city , yet Omaha must
boar the odium for the failure as an Omaha
concern. The fact is that it is not an Omaha
concern and never has been , as it was organ
ized at Ashland and it's headquarters and
organization are still tliero , the mutter of
taxes being largely instrumental In prevent
ing a change when the principal place of
business was removal to this citv.
Mr. Taylor said that there was not the
slightest doubt about the ability of the sav
ings bank to pay depositors in full , and that
each would get every dollar that was duo
him. The efforts of the directors for the
past three weeks had put the affairs of the
bank in such shape that the depositors
ought to receive their inonoy within the
next sixty or ninety days.
A depositor who has $1,000 In the bank has
made frequent attempts to get it the past
two weeks , without success.
It Is duo Mr. Levi Carter of the Carter
White Lead works to correct an erroneous
Impression ns to the probable effect of
the failure of the O. M. Carter institutions
on the lead works. The two institutions
are as distinct and apart as the two Carters ,
neither having any connection with the
other , and never have boon in any way con
nected or Identified with each other.

MAXFIELD'S .MEMORIES.
Trtlk with ft Traveling Mnn In Which Ha
IlnrltcK Severn ! Slorle * .
' 'It's Just a year ago tonight that I was In
Omaha the last tlmo , " remarked Mr. S. II.
Maxflcld , a Chicago traveling man , at the
Murray last evening , as ho shifted his
chair just another hitch , so that any stray
zephyr that happened along would bo sure to
strike his whiskers. "I stopped over on my
way to Arizona In response to a telegram ,
and loft the next nigh' , for Kansas City.
"Say , " ho continued , as ho mopped several -
oral pints of perspiration from his brow ,
"that was ono of the hottest , driest trips i
over mado. Tnls weather strongly reminds
mo of It.
"If Colonel Dante , formerly of Italy , but
nt present residing in parts as yet unknown ,
will address , with or without stamp , yours
truly , ho will hear of something to his ad
vantage. Or , if Voritas or Taxpayer or
! omo other equally well informed person
, ivlll furnish mo with the colonel's address ,
t will oblige mo very much. I have been
old that the colonel wrote several cantos of
latter about n trip ha and a friend of his ,
ilr. Virgil , took through some arid regions of
vhich , I boliuvo , Mr. Virgil was a part
> wner , or which , at least , he had designs
upon In the way of un irrigation scheme or
omothlng of that kind. It is understood
hat the colonel's work sold qulto well ,
marly nil the second edition having been
.lispuscd of without assistance from
the author's relatives. I nin always real
glad to see struggling genius got utioad oven
it a royalty of only 10 per cent after the
iccond edition is sold , and for this reason I
, rish to ascertain the. colonel's whereabouts ,
hat I may bo able to put him onto a good
in the way of material fcr another
book.
' I have hoard a number of persons re
mark that this same Kansas was the country
Dante wrote about , but I think they sucak
unadvisedly and more from nn arid point of
view than otherwise , for I have observed
rtjat a great many people in Kansas are
.roublod with aridity , which seems qulto a
prevalent ailment down thoro.
'It ' might bo as well for the colonel to
bring a few canteens with him , if my letter
brings him out hero , ns they are hard to
got In Kansas. It is thought by some folks
that they can bo obtained by stealth and
telegraphy , but it will bo found that the man
who brings a bottle to a train in response
to a telegram will have to run the
gauntlet of enough thirsty persons to popu
late a wharf tenement , each and every ono
of whom will perjure himself and swear that
he , and he only , sent that telegram. So it is
far better to conciliate , subsidize , and other
wise square yourself with the porter of the
Pullman , who can generally tell you where
to find the desired liquor. But all the same ,
I should advise Dante , if ho goes that way ,
to bring along quito a plethora of canteens
ana things. "
"Say , " interrupted a perspiring list
ener , "I thought you started to
toll us about the hot trip you took
and hero you are talking about poor old ,
dried up Dante and the liquor problem in
Kansas. "
"That's so , " assented Mr. Maxflold , "but
.ustlotmo talk awhile , won't you ? You all
seem to bo lazy enough to bo good listeners.
"In speaking of Kansas as an arid region
I did not wish to imply that the whole state
is arid. Only the western part of it is
that way. Its citizens , however , are ,
almost without exception , troubled with
aridity , and there is hardly a man in the
state who docs not carry three or four
aliases nnd a couple of alibis to aid him in
obtaining medicine in case ho should have
a sudden attack of this aridity , which some
times happens.
"Speaking of arid regions , however , It is
not until the train gets into wctorn Kansas
nnd southeastern Colorado that the country
itself is found to bo noticeably arid. Then
the wayfarer is apt to notice it quito in
tently , csneciaiiy by daylight. The sand ,
which seems to bo a feature of the
country , has n sunburnt and chapped
appearance , and the prairie dogs and
cacti look haggard nnd dissipated. The
cattle skeletons , which scorn to bo a ner-
enulal crop down there , look bright and
contented , however , which is , I suppose , a
good thing. It's a good deal like that region
described in Trrn BEE the other day.
"At ono place on the road , out in western
Kansas , I wont into n nay coach and struck
up an acquaintance with a man who was in
the farm hum nnd ranch selling business
out thoro. Ho looked prosperous , and
seemed inclined to conversation and embon
point , and I , with ono dreamy , languorous
eye on the sad , sad landscape , wondered how
this could bo thus. Finally , with blushing
curiosity and a sweeping , piercing glance at
the sunburnt plains , I asked :
" 'But what do you raise hero ? What do
you live on { '
"Tho real estate man looked grieved to
think that such ignorance should exist in
the hat of ono who had told him ho was
indigenous to the west. Ho shifted in his
scat impressively and fixing his cold gray
eye upon mo ho answered compassionately :
'Stranger , wo raise h 1 , and llvo on the
credulity of fool investors from the states. '
"After all , now I como to think of It. I
had a nrctty good tlmo on that trip. You
know there are always ono or more pairs of
turtle doves on an overland sleeper. Well ,
wo had a pair.
"Tho groom was a handsome young chap
who practiced law in an eastern city and the
bride was an Iowa girl who was homely
enough to bo olthordlstresslngly eood or dis
gustingly rich. There were also aboard a
young man , threatened with a moustache ,
and a seminary young ludy with
Huffy bangs and a baby stare.
These last two became acquainted , with
more or less facility and abandon ( and , in
cidentally , with each other ) and speedily
got on the high road to a desperate lllrtu-
tion , inasmuch us she of the bangs had no
chaperon , and , evidently , could got along
very well without ono.
"Woll , this state of affairs led to a serious
complication. It was Sunday night , and the
caluisil very moon was just spreading herself ,
nnd wo nil got out on the rmr platform of
the Pullman and sang hymns with much
gusto and scant religious fervor , Besides
those I Just spolio of tliero was a British
tourist , going west to visit some friends nnd
see the 'blnhstcd country , ' and two or three
others who don't count for the purposes of
this story. Well , as I said , , wo sang , That
is , most of us did , I saw , at the
end of the second stanza of the
first hymn , that there was no ono
present who could appreciate musical talent ,
and I do not care to waste my sweetness on
the desert air. So I dignitledly listened and
wondered if Myron Whitney would not have
felt lust so.
"Presently the groom , who wat sitting
just inside the door on a camp chulr , rose
and went Into the cur for a shawl with
which to drupe his 'wlfoy's1 shoulders
presently thereafter the college young man
came and took the groom's chair , ami though
somewhat taken aback ut ? uih forwardness
when the gentle bride laid her head on his
bosom , proceeded to throw his arm
about her and squeeze just lllto ho
hud a right to , thinking , of course , that it
was the fluffy-haired Ilirtoo who was sitting
outside , just out of the range of his vision ;
and presently , just us the c. y. in , had giver
the g. b. i squeeze that made her eyes stick
out , buck came the groom and lit right into
the trouble , just as I hud expected ho would
The Briton and I hud watched the comedy
from the rlso of the curtain the Briton ii
dumb staring horror and 1 well , an over
land journey is dull at its best , am
I know the c. y. in. enjoyed It hugely untl
ho discovered his mistake. I think it bur
him moro to think ho had been hugging Urn
unprepossessing bride than it did to havi
the eroom jump on him , for tie removed hi.
luggage into the other sleeper and wo saw
him no more.
' And the fluffy haired maiden smiled and
smiled and the stony eyed Briton and I wen
into the smoking room and did likewise. "
"Woll , but what has all this talk to di
with irrigation in Nobraikal" asked one
man in an arid tone of voice.
"Lot's adjourn and see , " said Mr. Max
field. ' 'I'm kind of dry myself. "
