The closing dny of the first month of
BUtumn wiw one that matkcil an epoch In
the history of the exposition The day was
superb for slght-ceclng. an nro most of the
autumn ( lavs In this northern latitude and
Instead of the strong winds and HIP clouds
of dust thut swept over the .Jiaml Court
and the Plaza during the early portion of
HID week the atmosphere was wa-m , fresh
mid Invigorating , bringing the blush of
lic'ilth to the cheek and making the old feel
young again With the beautiful dny came
Koodlv crowds of people , as them veto nu
merous features for all to participate In.
It wan Georgia daj and hundreds journcved
licro from the sunny land of the palmetto
and the magnolia to place th * stamp of
approval upon the exposition and mingle
Kith their brethren of the north
In addition to the occasion being Georgia
day It was also a day Bet npait for the. terri
torial pioneers of Nebraska , the men v.ho
braved the storms of nearly half a century
ngo and blazed the way for the great mass
of people who came later and bull-led up the
Kie-at commonwealth , making It possible to
hero hold tin exposition at which are fafh
* Tcd the best products of the United Slutts ,
as well an these of many of the foreign
countries
It would seem that with the two cele
brations heretofore mentioned the pro-
K am for the day would have been filled.
It was filled , but there was another event
crowded in and It was one of the biggest
nnd the best. The day was designated as
Chlldron'H dnv. a day vhen the children of
the state , excepting these from Omaha , were
the special guests of the exposition 1ho
little ones accepted the Invitation and thry
were present in pgiments , battalions , com
panies and squads , they were present in
pairs and singly and nlone. They tame
early and thny lemamed late , they jaw the
exposition nnd will long remumber it , for
their was uothlnK that escaped their notice.

thing about the operation of the wajs In

has brought about the patriotic feeling that
now pervades the state. We understand the
Influences of the press for good and evil
but It has been due to tbo pre i and thnt

The last hpcaker of the morning was
John Temple Graves of Atlanta , Ga , whom
Governor Northen Introduced as the suc
cessor to Henr > W Orady Mr Graves paid
a gracious compliment to President Wattles ,
v\ho ho bnlil , with all due respect lo Ihe
other speakers , made the best speech of the
day for Georgia Passing to the subject of
the new south ho declared that the logical
and necessary outcome of the Spanish wai
would be the building of the Nlcaraguan
canal , making the southern stales the geographical
graphical center of the commerce of the
world ' If any man doubts , " said he , "that
the south will be equal to Iho duties and
requlremcnls of that time ho need only
study her hlstorj " Conlinulng , ho said :
Nothing In the history of nations can
pqual the manj-sided development of the
south In the. last three decades Out of
the nlijss of poverty and misfortune Into
which she was plunged by the civil war
she has fought her way to a magnificent
prosperity Her cotton crop of today Is
twlco ns largo as In 1870 , her factories
havo. been trebled , her loom and snlndles
ha\o been quadrupled Her income every
year from cotton alone is $300000.000. her
property values have Increase five-fold.
She has trebled her corn crop doubled the
mileage of her railroads and today -with
untold riches In her soil nnd elixir in her
air she Is marching through safe channels
to a future of certain and incalculable prog
ress , lighted by the dazzling multiples of
mightier windows than ever splendored
Aladdin's palace or "pulsed a dream of
oablcrn luxury "
Mr Graves then passed Into a treatment of
the war , its fessons , Its fraternal develop
ments and Its magnificent results His
peroration wrapped Itself around the Hag
of a reunited union. When ho concluded
the entire audience arose and amidst shouts
of applause gave thren cheers for the grandnephew -
nephew of John Calbnin mil ton of a con
federate soldier , -who speaking to a northern
audience evidenced so eloquently his Iqvo for
the stars and stripes.
The beit comment that can bo given on
.ho oration of John Temple Graves Is to say
hat he has been Invited to speak for the
with on President's day and will probably
ccept If he can arrange his other engage
ments.

It was Nebraska Territorial Pioneers' day
t the exposition and some 250 Ncbraskans
who located hero prior to March , 1SC7 , the
ate when Nebraska became a state , spent
ho day upon the exposition grounds The
ilonccrs made the Nebraska building their
iioadquarlers nnd it was there- that they
gathered during the afternoon to exchange
lews and tell of the dajs when there were
no cities , no railroads and very few white
.icoplo In Nebraska. Tliis meeting started
out as an Informal nffatr , but ere long It
became apparent that Itvas the proper
blng to have a presiding officer Tor the
position ex-Governor Turnas of Dronnvillo
was selected nnd that the record might be
kept straight Secretary Bow en of Omaha ,
who Is also secretary of the organization ,
was named
nx-Govcrnor Saunders of Omaha was the
first speaker called out by the chairman ,
n a flve-mlnuto speech he told of his early
! a > s In Nebraska , having como hero when
there was nothing to Iho city except a llttlo
fringe of houses along the river's edge In
the vicinity of the Union Pacific bridge
Champion S Chase urged that each of the
pioneers write a history of his or her expe
rience ( for It was voted to allow women to
Join the order , providing they can qualify
as to residence ) . Ho believes that this his
tory should be written and preserved as
apart of the archives of the state , as well
(
as for the purpose of adding to hlstorj
Major I ) . II. Wheeler of Omaha pointed
to a icsldencc dating back forty-threo 3ears.
Ho saJd that when he located hero there
was no Omaha nor was there a town of
Florence , but down at Dellevuo there was
it trading post Shortly affer his arrival
there was an election at liellevuo nnd It was
ono of the warmest the speaker ever saw.
In these da > s the principal occupation of
the people was selling shares in townslte
companies that were being organized at
every bend in the river. Cottonwood and
shingles were legal lender.
Dr. Freeman of Dealrlco recounted his
experience In going to mill Ho had to ga
130 miles with Ithe grist and had to haul
his produce 140 miles In order to find a
market. The doctor bears the distinction of
having located the first homestead In the
United Staten The land office was located
at Hrovvuvllle and the doctor had found
a quarter section of land out at Beatrice thut
just Bulled him The homestead law had
just been enacted and ho was at Urovvnvlllo
waiting for thj law to become operative.
On the day when the land was to como Into
market ho was allowed to'enter the land
olllco at 1 o'clock in the morning nud make
his filing.
Isaac Hascall of Omaha told of having
come to Nebraska in IhCG , at which time
this vvas"a country town in the wilderness.
Speaking of the election held that > fur , he
said that only 2,000 votl s were cast In the
entire territory , 11101,1 of the vofurs residing
along the Missouri river In the vicinity of
Iho little towns that had spruug up during
the few preceding months
Dr. Harvej Link pf Millard cxpTalned that
fort'y-two years ago when he located whcro
' 10 now resides he had to go way Into cen
tral Iowa to find n grUt mill. The trip
iUcant several daa' travel Ther was no
rnone ) and to cross the river meaot J2 Jl
each way This toll was chargtd by the
fcrr > raau who usually accepted h s pay In
wheat or flour.

In which while deofing with the general
climatic conditions of the Philippines , for
Ihe Information of the government ! , ho says
of the sailors and troops
"As Luzon Is the farthest north of the

most temperate In this connection it may
be mentioned that out of a force of over
2,000 on the ships of my squadron , the num
ber of men on the sick list nt any tlmo has
not exceeded forty , nor has there been any
considerable sickness among our troops on

LONDON , Sept 30 ( New York World
Cablegram Special Telegram ) All Lon
don Is ringing tonight with praise for Ted
Sloan's wonderful riding achievement at
Newmarket today , where ho completed sK-
t en wins out of twentj-aeven mounts Mnce
ho oocned : it Manchester a week ago > es-
tcrdav This phenomenal sciles of suc
cesses , reaching nearlv 60 per cent of his
mounts is said tonlcht to break the I'ng-
llsh record Five consecutive wins Is In
llself the record for Ncwmirket track nnd
hasn t been broken In England since Seth
Chandlev won live races nt Pontefrace in
' 93 and Fred An her onlv succeeded In doIng -
Ing Iho same al Chesler Ion jc > ars before
lhat. cm August fi 1SS2. At Lewis Alchct
won sl\ races , all he starled in
The point , however. In Sloan's aihleve-
mcnt lodav and that which has startled the
Ungllsh lacing fratornlt ) as It has nevei
been Htartlcd before , Is Hi it the voting
American rider , who emeiged out of ob-
scurltv lafct fall , has mpde his records out of
comp.uatlvelv long-shot winners When
Sloan left foi America last fall his methods
of horsemanship and his then wondcifiil
pioporllon of wins weio bllll attributed to
fortuitous elrcumslances which the Hng-
Itsh sporting authorities declared could
never attain permanent success
Tonight Sloan Is undoubtedly regarded In
the home of Ihoioughbred race horse breed
ers and the home of racing as the king of
the racing turf This fact Is bhown lu a
hundred wavs In the fit at place , there was
an undoubted movement Instituted upon
Sloan's relurn lo I'ngland on the part of
his fellow jockos , who could not under
stand how a man could be a jockey and
live at Ihe best hotels and ahsoc'uto ' with
the leaders of Engllbh poclal and rac
ing life , to shut him out of success
when they rould. This was demonstrated
nt vesterday H Newmarket meet Ing , whereIn
In the point of love of fair play that Is bred
In English bojs nt IHon and Harrow and
has its outcropping * on the Hngllsh turf as
well ns in the fields ot statcsniansh'p ' , * > o
llttlo credit was accorded Stoan's win thnt
his opponents stiovcto defraud him ot that
llt'tle
| IPIH I'rnlNp Him.
H Is manifested again In all the sporting
newspaper olllces tonlghl , where the leading
authorlllon In racing matters are pi luting
double-leaded eulogies of Sloan's successes
and of his American methods W. Allison
of the Sportsman newspaper and one ot the
leading racing authorities In Hngl md says-
"As to Sloan , he has had a great daj ,
Indeed , and I lon t think oven the most
obstlnato nmoiig us can any longer den/
that his style ot riding gives his mount
an liunier-ic ndv int ife o\er others. W
wn tells inj jo huv made expenrueuU j
with his horses at Rojston and has found
conclusively that It makes a stone'o differ
ence In the form of any one of them to ride
It as Sloan does. The proof of the pudding
Is In the eating and Sloan's contlnucJ suc
cess cannot be explained away. I assidu
ously believe that a man might as well try
to win a blcjclo race sitting upright as a
horse rnco against Sloan unless he adopted
Sloan's style , presuming of course that there ! ! i
wao anything approaching equality between |
the horses at weights. H Is really a. &jrloua j I
matter for the tlmo being , this advent of I
Sloan , for if his methods really do give him
a stone's advantage he can paralyze out j I '
eport until such a tlmo as our jockeys have
accustomed themselves to ride In Ihe same
way. It is not a style of riding that can
bo acquired In a day or In a month , so far
as I am any judge , and even supposing tint
our Jockeys or any of them decide on a
change It must be long before they will be1
anything equal to Sloan at his own game"
Sloan I * MoilpHl.
In the face of this eulogy Ted Sloan him
self is the most reticent and modest man
It Is possible to find in London tonight Ho
came homo from Newmarket and after a
quick bath and a change of clothing nt the
Hotel Cecil appeared In evening dress with
a few frletda at dlnnor , In the course ot
which ho said :
"I am graleful for Iho congratulations
of mv friends , both lu America and In
London. As to the affair between myself
nnd Iho other rldeis at Newmarket yester
day , that matter has been placed in the
hands of the proper authorities and It
would be obviously linpioper for me to dis
cuss it As to my successes today , they
are not a matter of great surprise to my
self , but I prefer others should comment
upon them rather than myself I am trying
to do the same for ray owners here that
I would anywhere else. That Is all "
Another evidence ot Sloan's phenomenal
success Is the fact that bookniakcra will
not accept bets offenxl them with Instruc
tions to simply back "Sloan's mounts ' In
the betting ring at Nrw market today Ihe
bookmakers were appurenlly paralyzed by-
Sloan's winnings. The fact that lu the first
race Sloan lost his opponent won simply
by a bead and that the other losing race
waa caused by Sloan's horse bolting only
added to the Intensity of the demonstrallon
In favor of Iho young American rider Cu
riously enough this race was won by nn
American-bred horse , Han Gallic , formerly
owned by Croker. Afler Sloan had won
his fourth race the excitement In the ring
exceeded anything ever before witnessed on
the Newmarket track , the crowd cheering
him as ho cantered by as well as when he
came victoriously back. Cries of "Bravo ,
Toddy , " "I'll never leave you , " etc , re
sounded In all directions and nowhere was
there the slightest suggestion of chagrin
that they should bo sustaining reverse after
reverse at what was supposed to bo their
own came.
Sloan will rldo at the Alexandra Paik
races tomorrow. The managers say the
course Is In splendid condition. The prob
ability Is that any horse Sloan ildes will
become a favorltu at once and so far as
his owners ate concerned the young Amer
ican rider may demonstralo the unprece
dented fact that there can bo such a thing
as too good a jockey

and It Is not bollcvod that hereafter any
one' will be found with the tcmeiitv lo cast
aspersion on the llttlo Yankee jotkoy In
two biiccosslvo days ho has ridden a total
of eight winners and has put himself nt the
top notrh of popular enthusiasm
His record of flvo victories and one second
end loday Is without nn equal In the mem
ory of the oldest race-goer and In the per-
ccnlngo of his winning mounts ho has far
outstripped the best of the Hngllsh cracks
Only thnso prompted by jealousy aio heard
to H.iy anything ngnlnst him and even they
are very subdued , for Sloan has become a
tremendous favorite with the race-going
publh
It was In the dial ince of Ihe day. ti

that feloan was able to do bettor than sor-

Sloan had the mount on The Wake The
distance was a mile anil a half and The
Wake was a 11 to I shot
In the Bretby welter handicap at s\ | fur

Sloan followed up his success by adding
Iho llous Memorial slake for 2-ycar-olda
at live furlongs to his credit. In this race
he piloted Sir U. W.aldle Grltllth'b ( Illy ,
Landrail homo In Hist place The belling
against Landrail was J'/i ' to 1. There weio
only three starters
By this time It seemed as If the little
American rider could not bo beaten and
theio was a rush to bet on his next mount ,
the 1-year old filly Libia , by Seniatlon-
Lima , owied by Loilllaid-Bercsford stables.
'She was not generally f incled and at the
post ns good as I lo 1 could bo had
against her Tor Iho third time dining the
I i day Sloan scorn ! a victory for the Anglo
I Ameilcan stable. It was an all-aged sell
ing plato at Iho furlongs with eight slart-
] , ere Sloan pursued his customary tactics ,
out-jockeying the other boys ' . \t the start
and , gelling a good lead , was never headed.
Sloan croAned his surprisingly largo num
ber of winning mounts by taking the New
market SI. Leger with Sir J .Miller's colt
Calashlcls , by Galopln-Theblus , who wat
favorite at 7 toI This tlmo the
dlstanro was a mile and Ihieo quarters
Reversing his tactics , Sloan waited patiently ,
showing himself to be n perfect Judge of
pace At the proper moment he sent his
mount to the fiont and won hands down
In the Rutland stakes for 2-year-olds , Hlx
furlongs , Sloan rode the Lorlllnrd-Ileresford
stables' colt Boomer , but failed lo get a
place , this being the only race out of the
eevcn In which ho had mounts that he did
not land his horse olthci llrst or second.
H wa won by 1) C Ilose1 filly Santa Casa.
Mis Langtry. lacing under the name of
Mr Jersey , took second money with her colt
Kboracum
Sloan's buccesslvo victories are greeted
with Immense enthusiasm by the spectators ,
the crowd cheering itself hoaue us the llttlo
