1/roxa , Nob. , Aug. 1C. [ Special Telegram
to TUB HBE. ] The summer racing mooting
nt the Hvorott driving park opened up this
afternoon under the most promising nu-
splco.i. It was nn Ideal day for the sport ,
with autumnal temperature , clear skies nnd
genial sunshine. The Kvcrott kite track Is
fnst , being recognized ns not only ttio best
but tlio fastest track In the United States.
The soil Is of Huch a consistency that It re
quires but insignificant labor to kuop It In
Dorfoct condition , nnd horsemen have yet to
find It slow or unsatisfactory in nny detail.
In substantiation of this statement It Is but
necessary to state that the Into copious rains
hero havn had absolutely no effect upon It
and this afternoon It was as clean nnd level
ns a newly swept floor , nml vury fast with
the exception of a brief spnco close on the
inside , nnd oven hero Itviis not suHlcicntly
soft to detract much from its speed.
I'nvortto Atnoni ; Hnrooinon.
The Everett track Is a favorite among
western horsemen , as Is amply testified by
the fact that there are for the present four
days meeting no less than 241 entries. II
Omaha possessed such a track she would be
the racing center of the country. The tracli
already holds the 2-yoar-old pacing record
( Online , 2:11) : ) , made a year ago , and the
yearling pacing record ( Bell Acton , 2 :205f ) ,
both of which horses are not only owned in
Nebraska , but are Nebraska-bred , being the
got of Gould & Miller's famous mahoganj
bay Shndoland Onward , 2:18 } , by Onward ,
Angcllno , the dam of Ontonian. 2:09if : , and
Online , 2:11 , U undoubtedly the chumpiot
brood mare of America , so far as average
speed Is concerned. She is also the property
of K D. Gould of Fullerton.

During the Afternoon Tlio
Scores us Thny Stand ,
Appearances are frequently dcccitfuT. On
Tuesday night the condition of the courts of
tbo Omaha Tennis club was such that it
seemed a practicable Impossibility for them
to dry sufllclcntly to bo played on yesterday.
Most of the players were already in town
nnd anxious to got to work. But with the
courts ns they were nothing could bo done
but wait for the sun to dry them.
Up to daybreak ycstordav the sky was
covered with ugly-looking clouds , but with
aunrlso there came a change. Old Sol
quickly scattered tbo clouds and sot to work
with all his might to dry up the atmosphere.
Incidentally , ho cast his rays upou the courts
of the Omaha Tennis club , which had ab
sorbed enough water during thu two days
preceding to keep nn army of soldiers from
thirst fora wcolc. And It was hero chat the
old fellow did his best work. From the time
that his rays llrst roao above the Metropoli
tan hall the retreat of the walor from the
courts was ratml nnd thorough.
( rounds In Condition.
By midday such a change was noticeable
that preparations were set on fott for an
afternoon of steady play. Fortunately , per
haps , the four courts are on a slope. This
slope has been gradually but constantly in
creased by successive rains until now the
water runs oft from west to east almost ,
quicker than it sinks into the ground. The
nest westerly court , though the highest ,
iocs not dry so fast as the ono next to it ,
nnd It was this second court that was ilrst
ut into piny yesterday afternoon. Aflor
careful rolling and Iho filling up of Iho
channels caused by the running water with
"oose dirt this court was marked out and
ready for Use by about 3 o'clock.
At that time but few of the players were
on the ground ) and fewer spectators. But
ns soon as the court was ready Hart , nnd B.
McCaguo woru sot to work on It. Thu man
agement was specially anxious to avoid the
oss of n moment , for it seems quite likely
that if any time is lost three or four of the
incoln and Hastings players will have to
eave bolero It is over. There are already
several absentees from nmong those who
entered. Laverty came down from Ord on
Monday , Intending to stay the week here
uul make good use of his time , but ho waa
telegraphed for next day and wont home
without playing a stroke , Three of the
oipht men who entered from Hustings failed
to show up. and , when it is considered that
the "provincial" towns in the stale were
nol any lee well represcnled oven In Ihc
onlry list , It will bo seen that nny further
absentees would make of the tournamcul u
mere second edition of last month's city
meeting.
Abscntoph * J'lncea Supplied.
In place of those absentees , however , sev
eral Omaha players have entered since the
draw took place , and in fact since the pro-
grains were printed. In the singles the new
comers have been given the nlacos of the ab
ont Hastings nnd Ord men. In tilt
doubles the two pairs that drew bye :
will each have to play ono pair oi
the late entrants , and Austin , wlu
waste have partnered the nbsenl
Laverty , has been assigned to Guilmotto's
place as parlner to Mattocks. In the origl
nal lira Johnson and Hcury of Hasting !
were down against Austin aud Lavorty ,
Johnson and Henry did not come lo Omaha ,
but nevertheless succeeded in gettini ;
through the tlrst round safely. The walii
over could not bo accorded to their oppo
nents , although both of them were Toady te
play on thu day arranged for the opening
for the reason that L'avorty had to roturi
before he could play nnd Austin was' giver
.another partner and allowed to' compete ii
another part of the event. Johnson unc
Henry therefore got a walk over In ttio llrsl
round aud got scratched in the second.
I'liiyi'd Slngloi Rapidly.
When Hart and ilcCaguo opened the tournament
namont there was little evidence that anj
unusual event was in progress. Hart got i
lead in the lirst few games und although hi
had : i little trouble in the second set thi
match was soon over.
Dunsan and Millard at once took the !
places in the court and their contest kept U ]
the interest of the small crowd of spectator :
that had gathered. Duncan , who Is secretary
tary of Iho Hastings club , is looked upon li
his native town as quite a player , nnd everj
success of his younger Omaha rival was received
ceivod with applause.
Webster and Parrish were the nox
e'ouplo to enter the arena. Webster plays i
very painstaking game and this carried bin
through. But it would bean injustice to ;
very scientific pastime to describe his play a
scientific tennis. There nro few strokes tha
ho trusts himself to deal with with on
hand , nnd to got his racket round with boll
hands on it to nny angle that may bo re
quired takes too much time to succeed.
Before this game was finished the sccom
court was in readiness nnd Murray am
Shepherd got to work. These were the tvri
boltom byes and theirs was the only secom
round mulch decided during Iho day. In th
lirst sot Murray seemed to have llttl
confidence against his moro oxpcr !
cncod rival and scored but little
SHU ho hit the balls well nnd wit
greater confidence ho started the second so
by scoring two of the first four games. O
course there was no chance for him to wii
but it is to his ill luck in being drawn ngalns
a strong man , rather than in his lack of abl
ily , that his defeat is attributable.
Setting the Doubles.
Meantime the ilrst tie in the doubles wa
being played off in the adjoining court. ]
hud been decided that in tbo doubles th
rubbers were lo consist of the best of Jlv
sols throughout. This had boon intended i
bo the rule In the singles ns well , but wa
finally thought boiler of. In the ilrst an
second rounds of the singles two sets will b
enough lo win a match , but in tbo suhst
quo/it rounds of the singles and throughou
the doubles three sols will bo requires
This drsl match was between the two Mi
Cagues and Mattocks and Austin , nn
though" the brothers finally came out win
nora they had a hard light for it and score
only the same number of games as th
losers. It was the longest and closest mate
of the day.
Before it was over Goisthardt had boato
Cookson nnd Dungan aim Wahlqulsl , th
crack Hasiiugs pair , had begun Iho attomi
to overthrow the champions , Culling
ham and Battin , Cookson failed coi
splcuously against Lincoln's Gollatl
who was too fast for him at a
points of the gamo. Cookson's method c
play Is not of a kind to bo succossfi
against a game as lively ns Goisthnrdt'
but yesterday ho never warmed to his wor
and ouly gained three games in the entli
match.
llungan and Wahlquist made an equal ]
feeble assault on the champions. Tim
after time Dungan allowed himself to I

WASHINGTON , Aug. 17. Minister Illount Is

ing to Instructions , made no recommenda
tions , but gave his opinion as to the relative
strength of the sentiment in the' Islands
with reference to the question of annexation.
To glvo Iho president and Mr. Grcsham n
bettor Insight in allairs , that they might
make recommendations to congress , Mr.
Blount will glvo his views verbally that ho
may thus simplify them in an unonicial
way , devoid of tlio embarrassment consequent

this afternoon. A poll of the house has been
practically completed by Iho canvassers in
Iho interest of the anti-silver faction which
's s.iid to show a majority of twonty-sovcn
In favor of the unconditional repeal of tbo
purchasing clause , as provided in the Wilson
bill.
bill.Mr.
Mr. Hartor intimates that if the house
successfully passes what ho culls the danger
point of the vote frco coinage at a ratio of
JO to 1 the majority for Iho Wilson bill ,
which will present the question of repeal or
not , will bo 100 more. On the other
band , Mr. Bland nays there are
rcprcsenlalives who may vole against
the bill nt any ratio , who will not vole lo
wholly abolish silver as a money metal ,
which would be the offcut , ho says , of the
jiassago of the Wilson bill. "If there are
any republicans who would thus volo. " said
ho , ' 'Ihoy had boiler muko lerms with the
administration , for Ihey cannot do it with
their people. "
Mr. Hartor's doubt as to the vote on the
proposition lo coin silver at 2U to 1 is said to
oo duo to information given lo tbo anti-silver
committee that there are over forty republi
cans who will vote for the establishment of
coinage at that ratio. lUr. Bland , however ,
believes the ratio of 10 to I will be stronger
iu tho.inain.
The repeal democrats readily concede Ihoy
must have republican votes and have asked
for aid In the discussion now progressing.

WASHIXOTON , Aug. 10. Secretary Gresham
is dissatisfied with the Bering sea tribunal
in regard to the regulations established , and
it is understood his views are shared by
other cabinet ofllccrs. The regulations are
interpreted to moan that the United Stales
will have entailed on it the patroling of
Bering sea without benefit , to it , wtiilo Rus
sia , Japan and perhaps other nations will
reap a harvest , the regulations being bind
ing only on Great Britain and this country.
It is not likely any dcllnltc policy respecting
the guardianship of the sea will bo outlined
until the opening of the llrst season next
year , because bad weather will put an enel
to the operation of tbo sealers In about two
weeks ,
The restrictions placed on seniors with
reference lo iircarms will have Iho effect of
causing Canadian sealers lo resort lo desperate -
perato means to sccuro good catches and
much pouching is feared. In the close
suason , Juno and July , bolh Great rfrilaiu
und the United States will keep a fleet of
vessels to keep iwacher.s from the aculmg
waters and , it is believed nt the Navy de
partment , this will result In the uriUbUsh-
mcnlofn permanent Boring sea squadron
for duty during the o months. The United
Stales will also bo obliged to maintain a
watch on the waters within tlio slxty-inllo
line during the onllre mild season from Iho
Hrst of April to the first September und it
is probable this duty will fall in vessels of
Iho revenue aorvico.

where ho remained until July 31. Upon the

his trunk nud bought a ticket for Chicago.
These facts several weeks ago would
have excited very lllllo comment. Subse
quent developments since the doctor's do-
parluro from California have thrust him
Into considerable prominence. Ho U now
the central figure of a mystery nud bis name
is being paraded In oig , black typo In the
columns of Pacific coast newspapers. A

vale inti'i-esied in n divorce caso. The Poul-
son b.\by is in the possession of the coroner of
Alamcda.county. The doctor , uftor enjoying
the zephyrs of the Missouri valley , Is pre
sumably in Chicago. Thereby hangs n tale
not particularly ono of woo , bui shrouded
In myslery.
Aiexmllng to advices from California , Iho
domcslio happiness of the Poulsons became
tlngod with discontent. Harmony took sev
eral days off and ihe sequel was a suil foi
divorce. The doolor , It It said , was a pro
nounced spiritualist. Ho had the reputation
of enjoying weird dances with spectral
wnltzurs , nnd having telephonic communica
tion with departed spirits at his Druidllko
homo. Recently ho came east on a trip.
Homo Ono Told the Coroner.
As nn aftermath of the disagreement In
the Poulson household the coroner of Alii-
ineJa county was startled n few days ago by
receiving u , mysterious lotlor slating that in i
the Poulson residence at Frultvulo wus u - ' * _

which hud been born nearly two yours ago ,
but which had never boon burled by IJr.

stated that the doctor hud never reported
tbo birth or death of the baby to the health
authorities , bill lhat lo intimate spiritualist
friends ho acknowledged that It wns his
child and held several "seances" over it.
Canned it Siniill Soiiniitlon.
The exposure of this alleged mysterious
conduct nnd talcs of frequent weird incnntu- N
tions over the llltlo corpse in the zinc box , j
ut mystic hours of the night , when the moon -
was Int a curved silver thread in the sky ,
plunged Oakland , Fruitvnle and 'Frisco Into
a small sensation. It is said that after tbo
death of the child lhat the doctor hud a
plumber muko the zinc box , und after
placing the baby within , ho scaled It. The
letter to the coroner , reciting tbo strange ;
story , was signed by a man named Mc-
.lunlcln , who it seems , know Iho secret , and
when the divorce proceedings were com
menced,11 the mysterious box wns brought
forth. Dr. Puulson Jius boon awuy from
California since the exposure wus madp.
