WHAT THEY KCALLY HAD.
The performance prpoer opened with the
grand entree , which nil well regulated cir
cuses no\cr leave out , as It gUcs a chance to
how tholr wliolo troupe , and gives the peo-
plu some Idea what to look for when the
show' Is on. Klrst came that great friend of
the musical public of Omaha , the Second In-
Tnutry bairl from Fort Otnnha , playing the
"Christopher Columbus" march , nnd closely
following the Omaha Guards In full regi
mentals. The Uoston Store bears came next ,
caged In stout Irons and having for Its driver
Km ! ! Urandels , rigged In a ilrras suit and
a smile. Dennett's Hnppy Family was caged
nnd driven by W. II. himself , altohugh no
one would eve > hnvo recognized him In the
outnt In which ho appeared. The Nebraska
Clothing company had a cage of wild ani
mals , whllo following was NIool the Tailor
with two baboons , ono whlto and one black
The Continental Clothing company had an all
wool outfit of sheep , whllo Major Wllcox
drove the Browning-King cage of monkeys.
Ilaydcn Bros , had a cage of wild brownies of
all sizes nnd shapes , nnd Thompson , Uoldon
& Co.'s wagon was filled with stuffed birds.
The cowboy riders , the only representatives
of Buffalo mil's rough riders nf the world ,
wore followed by the camels and lady bare
back riders on white horses. Then there was
Guy Short's cart filled with thosa lovely girls ,
Misses Myra Austin , Mae Ho'jlnson nnd Amy
Gernhardt , nil of whom Conductor Kelly
kindly loaned from his chorus of beauties.
After the bareback riders came the heavy
Roman chariots with their fiery steeds han
dled In superb fashion by Mrs. Will Townsend -
send and Miss Ilertha Van Camp. The Mu
sical Union band followed and drowned some
sweet strains which Hospe pumped out of his
Improvised callopo. The Thurston Illlles were
here brought forth and were followed by
myriads of clowns , ponlca , donkeys , goats ,
attendants and Japanese jugqlors.
The opening part of the performance proper
was the Omaha Guards' drill , In which they
gave many well executed maneuvers. The
fencing 'bouts , club swinging , paiallel bars
and horizontal bars all appeared In rapid
succession , while the young ladles came upon
the scene of action for the Ak-Sar-nen and
Nehrai'ka drills.The people all wondered
where so many beautiful girls could spring
from , but sweet charity will bring them out
every tlmo. The drills of both wore very
well executed , Indeed , and spoke highly for
the untiring efforts of the two leaders , ! Irs.
Jenny House Wortz and Mrs. J. II. Whealer.
The following young ladles , under the leader
ship of Mrs. Wheeler , gave the Nebraska
drill : Misses Francis M. fllordon , Clara Van

DIDN'T WARM UP UGADILY.
The crowd was \ery cold and uns > mpa-
thetlo during the loose wlro work , the
turners' performance , the fencing bout and
inicli acts. n\cn when Piof. Alois P. Swo-
boda came out nnd toyed with an hundred-
pound dumb bell and raised another which
weighed 195 pounds over his head five or six
times , they did not loosen up. But when
Arklna. the great equilibrist from Chicago.
1 began his wonderful feats on the raised plat
form they showed their appreciation of the
good work which he was doing. He could
bahnro himself on the top of his ttool. which
was placed on the platform In almost any
position , and finally ended by balancing Win-
, wlf dn the top of nn ordl.nniy cauo on one
hand. After the Thurston Rifles had drilled

A WiirnlitK In tinnrlrcrn of Delivery
\VaK ti > < .
A driver In the employ of one of tlie big
dry goods starts In Fulton street , says the
Now York Tribune- , was discharged last weak
under novel circumstance * . Ho had been forever
over n year In the employ of the firm and wns
faithful and honest , nnd his dismissal aston
ished him ,
Ono of tha firm's largest customers Is the
wlfn of a retired whole-sale liquor dealer living
In Washington ( ucnuc. Her house Is a fine-
one , and style and lavish display tf wealth
are kept conspicuously nt the front. Tills
woman visited the store on Saturday anil
nsktd to sec one of the proprietors. The con
versation which followed was In sub
stance :
"I want the driver cf wagon No. dis
charged at once , and If you don't dismiss him
I'll stop trading here. "
"Why , madam , " said the astonished mer
chant , "If ho has Insulted you or been dis
honest we shall certainly discharge Mm ,
Pray what has he d nc ? "
"Ho don't glvo me all I pay for ! " snapped
the fair complainant.
"What ! Impossible ! We will make good
the loss at once. " said the merchant , adding :
"Now , Mrs. Blank , glvo me n memorandum
of what ho has failed to deliver. "
"Oh , I got all the goods I ordered , " said
she , coloring , "but but well , he don't de
liver the gooJs right or ns n driver should
and I've lost all patience with him and want
him discharged. "
"Please explain , madam , " snld the per
plexed storeK'cper.
"Well. " said the woman , "It's Just this
way. That driver has been In the habit ol
late of stopping his horse In front of my next
door neighbor , a horrid , stuck-up thing , nnd
day before yesterday , when ho delivered that
piano lamp and the carved brlc-a-brac otand
for which I paid $100 , his wagon wasn't In
front of my house at nil , but In front of the
house next door. When I called that after-
110:11 on Mrs. ( ! . , across the street , she said :
'Did you sec- the perfectly exquisite piano
lamp and brlc-a-brac table your neighbor , Mrs.
, lecelved todnj ? '
"It mortified I almost cried "
me so , con
tinued the grieved woman , "and every ono
on the street thinks It wns Mrs. who
spent | ICO for a bric-n-brao table and not me.
When I spend my god money for goods I In
sist Hint the wagon which delivers them stop
right In front of my door , nnd that's why I
want the driver discharged. It Is my right
and I Insist upon my rights. "
The merchant with difficulty kept from
laughing outright , but he simulated sympathy
and Indignation nnd ordered the driver's dis
charge forthwith. The woman's wrath wns
appeased. The poor driver will probably be
reinstated and put on another delivery routo.

These women of Paducah who are fond of
wearing fur bnas around their throats , siyt'
the Paducah News , might lEarn a lesson
from F. H. Wood , a river man , who Is now
In the city. Mr Wood has n handsome neck
muffler of tawny skin , but he does not keep
It In a bandbox at night. Ho locks It In a
strong cage , for the boa Is a half-grown
wildcat , with full-grown claws and teeth.
Wood hay attracted considerable attention
during the last few days by strolling about
the city \.lth a joung bay lynx or wildcat
perched on his shoulder. Old naturalists
claim that It Is Impossible ! to domesticate
a specimen of the fells catus , which Is the
Latin name of Mr. Wood's strange pet. He
baa refuted that theory , however , by par
tially taming the savage little beast. Many
scars and scratches on hU < hands and face
bear evidence to the fact that It was no easy
Job to get on speaking terms with Mr. Wild
cat , Jr. , and it will allow no one but Its
owner to come near It. If a stranger approaches
preaches the kitten will Jump straight nl
his throat.
Wood Is very proud of the animal. Ho
caught it when It was only C days old , after
Its mother had slain four large dogs , and
raided it by hand. K\cr since ono night
clonn at Cairo some weeks ego he has been
doubly attached to it. On tint occasion he
thinks the lynx saved his life. Wood said
ho was walking along the river bank on the
outskirts of Cairo , with his four-footed
friend on his shoulder. The evening was
dark and he could not see through the gloom ,
but the eyes of the felUis could. Suddenly
the little creature growled and leaped straight
Into the face of a negro , who had slipped
up behind the pair. With a howl of pain ,
the would-bo robber dropped a huge club
and set sail for another neighborhood.
Kitty" got an extra allowance of meat that
night for supper.
The animal is now about tin slzs of a large
tomcat , but Is very different In appearance
from the common tabby. It has huge feet ,
long , sharp claws , a head like a tiger , the
tufted ears which distinguish the lynx family
and a short tall , which moves Incessantly

under the direction of Coach Courtney. The
Associated press representative talked latt
night with Dean White , the faculty ad
visory member of the athletic council. Dean
Whlto said : "Wo have not ayet arranged
dates for the race with Ilitnard or the
triangular contest with Columbia nnd Uni
versity of Pennsylvania. Wo will have but
a olngle 'varsity cloven crew next year , which
will row for Cornell In both these races. 1
agrco with the growing sentiment among
Cornelllanp , tlwt a crew should be sent to
Henley for the purpose cf clearing up our
record over there. In case we send n crew
next spring it will , I think , bo the tnmc
as raced In the two American contests. As
to the proposition which has been made to
hold a regatta batween Yale , Hanord , Cor
nell , Columb'a and Pennsylvania on the Hud
son , Cornell , whllo she might enter , will
make no advances In that direction nt pres
ent. Wo have all we can do to arrange for
our races with Harvard and Columbia and
Pennsylvania. I think wo-did all right In
entering for the \lsltors' grand challenge
cup In England last year , except that we
erred In taking only twelve men over to
choose from. If we go again wo will take
twenty candidates or more along , and will
profit much from our former experience with
the climate and training. "

VICTORIA. B. C. . Dec. 11. Arthur Au
gustus Klmmeimnn Is still the klnjr of the
cycling path , nnd though In his llrst race
on Australian soil ho took second place to
Parsons , who thereby leaped Into fame , the
supremacy of the antipodes was shortlived.
It was nt a two days' championship meet
ing of the New South Wales League of
Wheelmen , which opened nt Sydney , No
vember 10 , that Zimmerman's opportunity
to redeem himself came It was In the
hnlf-mlle championship his greatest triumph
came , when nt the turn Into the stretch
he Jumped from the bunch In which ho
had been ono with the cracks. Parsons ,

him post the winning post a winner bv
thirty or forty jnrds. His rivals peemed
Etnndlng : still , while 30,030 spectators seemed
paralyzed with surprise.
"So stupefied , " ns the Sydney Herald ,
copies of 'which arrived on the Miowern ,
expressed It , "that they forgot their voices
till the wlzaid leisurely pedaled bick to
the pivlllon , modestly refusing the honor
of being mounted shoulder high nnd car
ried to his quarters. Then the enthusiasm
of the spectator0 found vent , nnd the most
sensational ride ever made by a cyclist
under Australian skies wns rewarded by
nidi a shout of unbounded enthusiasm ns
the performance deeer\ed
"The preliminary heats bad left but four
candidates for championship honors , un
questionably the strongest quaitet over
brought together In Australia Zimmerman
of America , J. W. Paisons nnd P. G. Ire-
dale of Victoria , nnd K. W. Lewis , New-
South Wales. Parsons had the polo , with
Irednle and Lewis second nnd third and
Zimmerman outside. Parsons made the
pace In the llrst half. Zimmerman follow-
In/ / ? behind Lewi ? . Finl hlnpr the flist circle
the American c'osed up , and Le.vls spurted
desperately , believing the tight had com
menced
" 'Zlmni } ' quietly dropped back nnd
trailed the procession , resting- calmly con
tent until the last turn , when his feet found
wings , nnd ho flew around on the outside ,
leaving his1 rivals as though standing still.
Thirty-five jnrds were made from the
picked men of Australia In le s thin 200
yards , and though Parsons was second. It
was not a nlace In the same cla s ns the
champion. The time , 1:103-5 : , counts for lit
tle , as Australia does not believe In pacing.
'Zlnimy' polished the last quarter In .es ?
than twentv-nlne seconds. The mile was
practically duplicated In all save time ,
which was i : : ' ! ( .
"In an Intel view just after the last race
Zimmerman said he was quite satisfied ,
though he would prefer a hotter pace. As
to Australian tracks , he considers them In-
llnltelv Inferior to tho'e of America , as they
lack life , and consequently speed. "

SCOTT'S EHULSION
TROUBLED OVER CONTESTS
Business of the Tcdorntion of Labor Greatly

NEW YORK. Ic. 11. So slowly Ins the
wcrk of the American Federation of Labor
progressed that Instead of an adjournment
being reached on Friday or by Saturday noon
at the latest , which wa * the original program ,
It Is not likely the election cf officers will bo
reached before Monday nnd possibly Wednes
day of next wee't. ' The main obs'.rucllon Is
the contested seats of delegates , a matter
which Is usually dlspostd of on the first day
of the annual conxentlon. At the opening
session today the credentials commutes re
ported to the convention that W. 12. Wanf ,
claiming to represent painter's union , n
dual organization , should liedenlel a scat.
Subsequently the subjfct cf duality of organi
sation within the ranks of the organization wns
brought up by Vice President T. J. Rlderkln ,
who predicted that unlesi the condition wera
corrected , the federation would fall under
the control of antagonistic elements. In
stancing the case of the 119 lodges of the
Brewery Employes National union , a large
number of which ore attached to the
Knights of Labor , Mr. Hlderkln said : "Tliesa
Knights of Lalor assemblies Invt a national
trade assembly , and meet in national conven
tion nnd sscretly leglsli'c for the National
Brewery Employes union. AP a result , a
great national union attached to the fedsr.i-
tlon Is controlled absolutely by nn Inner
circle of the Knights of Labor. "
As a remedy for this condition , n resolu
tion was offered to the cft'ct tint hereafter
a seat shall b ; refund to any representative
whose organization has within Its ranks any
other organisation comprising less than the
total membership.
Action on the report of tlie executive ccun-
cll submitted yejterday was deferred. The
various sections will be taken up and consid
ered singly by the propi-r committee.
The eight hour work day discussion was set
down for Saturday morning at 10 o'clock.
Samuel Gompers. Jamea Creamer and John
Whlto were appointed a spsclar commutes to
wait upon the tobacco workers employed by
the American Tobacco company.
The following committees were announced.
On eight hour work day H. Jacobaen. New
York ; Owen Miller , Henry Welssman , Brook
lyn ; John C. Donne-ll. Chicago ; Henry Barter ,
Detroit ; Georso n. McNelll , Boston. Advisor }
comml'tec on Chicago Labor council Robert
Ash. Massachusetts ; A. FurusHh. San Fran
cisco ; Frank McCarthy , Boston ; F. W. Lee
and Jot-cph Wldd nfeld.
It was resolved to extend nn Invitation to
the Woman's Christian Tempsrance union to
send fraternal delegates to the convention
Ths president of the Woman's Christian Tem
perance union had been Invited to attend , but
had sent tegrets , at tin ciime tlmo stating
that delegates from the- two organizations
would ba present at tomorrow's session of ths
convention. The committee on resolutions re
ported faiorably a resolution asking that all
outsld ? trades unions be Invited to become
affiliated with the American FeJeratlon o !
Labor.
A resolution by Samuel Gompers against
capital punishment was adopted.
A resolution 'was adopted reaffirming the
declaration made yesterday in favor of the
frco and unlimited coinage of silver at the
ratio of 1C to 1. A resolution by Dlegate
Andrew Furuseth of San Fraaclsco , proUstlng
against the- passage In congress of the ccm-
pulscry Arbitration bill , wat > adopted.
The committee on labels and boycot'e re
ported favorably upon the adoption of a uni
form boot and choa workers' union , A reso
lution having for Its object the most active
prosecution of the boycotts against Ihe United
Statei Baking company was adoptsd. A resolution
elution that the secretary of the federation
communicate with the Metropolitan and Pru
dential Insurance companies for the purpose
of securing a modification of the contracts
agents ars obllgc-d to observe , which It wau
represented were oppressive and unjust , was
adopted.
There was nearly an hour's discussion over
the resolution to dlscon'lnue the publication
In the Fedcratlonallst of the "Fair List , con
taining the names of firms indorsed by the
Federation of Labor , and the Unfair List"
as well , constating of firms antagonistic to Hie
federation. The matter was referred to a
special committee.
A ball was given at the concert hall In
Madison Square garden tonight In honor of
.he delegates. Tlie nlfair was tendered them
jy the trades and labor unions of Now York
and vicinity. Samuel Gompers had charge of
the committee of arrangements. A banquet
was served in the assembly room adjoining at
midnight. All the olllcors were present and
: here were Informal speeches. The meeting
was adjourned at the conclusion of the speak
ers' remarks. _
