RACE TRACk.-For the benefit OF
those who have fears about a trot,
ting track otherwise than in the cir
cular or oval shape, we copy what
the Chicago Times says Of the track
in the shape Ola figure s, that IS be-
ing prepared Tor the State Fair
Grounds, that paper speaks as fol.
lows Of the track
The trotting track, which is now
almost completed, is The shape Of a
figure s. This style Of track is said
TO be tho best and fairost, as both
horses going upon it travel equal dis
tances, which cannot be accomplish
edfon the ordinary cicular track
and in matches, no horse labors I'M
der disadvantage. The turns on thi,
track are 40 radius, giving q que
ter Of a mile on each turn and me
same on each stretch. 1t has width
Of 20 feet, raised feet on the out
side on the turns, and measures one
mile, counting four feet from the
pole. This track has been visited by
prominent mon Of the turf, who ms
variably pronounce il hyperion to any
track in the United States.
The track adopted by our Associ-
alton is OF similar character to the
one alluded to, and we believe will
prove the most popular track ever
used IN the state. The work Of grad
ing and preparing this crack is pros
crossing finely, and is under the best
of superintendent. Those engaged
in the matter are men who feel deep
interest in it as q track, and IL ibe
success Of the State Fair generally.

shat and Chist Detective % the War Department.

Ohio, and Davenport, love-
The name OF LAT yette G. Baker
became a household word during the
war, terror to the traitorous enc
mics Of the Union, and talisman
Of safety and security to the loyal
and true. From the inception OF
the Rebellion until the day when
Rebel rule was reestabIished in
Washington under the patronage
and protection OF Andrew johnson,
General Baker was an active, efficient
and useful servant To the country.
What he saw and did during the
eventful five years Of the war, forms
the sterling aud engrossing themes of
this remarkable book.
From the nature Of the service in
which the General was constantly
engaged, his deeds and methods Of
acton were but vaguely limited at
in the chronicles OF the day. But
now that the necessity for secrecy no
longer exists, General Baker deems
it fit and proper that his country
men SHOULD learn the full details Of
his areer, and they are to bo found
in the most romantic volume which
the war has produced. The author
has made q clean breast Of it; there
is nothing eXtenuatc, or aught set
down in malice" That these revel-
ations will cause . great Tutoring in
the high official circles at Washing
ton there is no doubt; moro strange
things have transpired in the Nation
al Capital since the, surrender of Lee.
and General Baker has fuIl l1nowl-
edge OF them all,-and the present
/ publication will no doubt produce a
rich crop for Congressional Inyestiga
/ ting Committee.
The details Of the conspiracy
which eliminated in the assassination
Of the lamented Lincoln, are here for
the first time fully divulged; the
great crime is traced from its incep-
ton until the guilty conspilators
dang!ed between heaven and earth.
During the time OF actual war
General Baker saw mach service. all
