NASHVILLE BLOOD HORSE ASSO-
CITATION.
The Approaching Races.


The fall meeting of the Nashville Blood
Horse Association commences on Tuesday
next, and it promises to be the most i'm
teresting racing week which has ever Oc-
cured in this city. Tho programme opens
with the Young America stake, In which
there are thirty-three entries-all promising
animals. The second race Is the Kentucky
stake, with thirty entries, for two mile
heats. This will be a very interesting
race. The third race is for dash of mile
and quarter for all ages.
On Wednesday, the big race of the week
takes place. 1t is the Citizens stake, with
a 81, 900 purse, closing with fourteen
subscribers. The second race, same day,
is the Green stake, with thirteen entries,
in which some of the untried ones will have
an opportunity to immortslize themselves.
There is also third race, mile heats, on
the same day.
On Thursday the first race is the Mike
Burns stake, which closed with twenty-five
entries, and composing some Of the most
noted animals on the turf. The second
race is dash of two miles, which will be
worth seeing The third race is dash OF
mile and half.
On Friday there is a three mile dash,
and afterwards an association purse, all
ages, mile heats three in five.
On Saturday the programme opens with
dash of mile. The second race is two
mile heats, and the third is an association
handicap purse, all ages for beaten horses,
mile heats
No such a programme was ever offered
here, and we anticipate such an attend
snce as was never before seen on our
turf. Very liberal purses have been offer
ed. and the Association have left nothing
undone which will add to the comfort and
pleasure of visitors.

He said that ne felt that, while asserting
their power in vacating all the State offices,
the Democrats could have done better with
their first experiment with the franchise
than to have selected men cOnstitutiOnaIly
disabled to fill them, and to fix a tax quail
ficatiOn to its exercise. He wanted to live
TO see the day when all men ID the
dignity of citizens could exercise
the franchise he wanted to live to
see the day when free and manly discussion
could be INDUCED by all. He wanted, too,
to live to see the great Republican party
triumphant in the State. 1t was the pro-
gressive party, favoring enlightenment,
education, and the greatest blessings to
the largest number Admonishing those
present that the permanency and stability
Of liberty and free institutions depended
upon the acts of each individual citizen,
and the proper uses he made Of his citizen
ship, the speaker closed amid much cheer
ing
He was followed by Judge ShacklefoEd,
who spoke at some length upon the various
subjects presenting themselves for cOnsid-
Grafton. The speaker referred TO the war,
asserting that it was to the Republican
party We owed the preservation of our lib
critics. He also dwelt upon the changes
since, and claimed that the Democratic
party was responsible for most of our
present disturbances. The lsteness Of the
hour compels Us to abbreviate the last
speakers remarks. He was listened to
with marked attention. The meeting,
though small, was orderly and attentive.
They adjourned with the understanding
that Mr.. Harrison and, perhaps, Judge
Trimble, would address them during the
carly part of the week.

Cardinal Cullen Explains the FAN
of Napoleon.
LONDON, Oct. S.-Herald Special
Cardinal Cnllcn, in his letter, says: In
,lation to Napoleon it is disagreeable to
say anything against fallen greatness, es-
pecially when it has not been unfrequent-
ly exercised in the case of justice or
religion. 1t is, however, known that all
success abandoned the arms of Napoleon
Ill, and that wisdom left his counsels
since he began to seek the ruin
of the Pope's authority. His star
commenced to wane in 1859 and 1860,
when he first openly abandoned the Pope.
Since then his policy miserably waned in
Mexico, Germany, Turkey, and the East.
In 1859 while" he was still pretending
friendship to Rome, he encouraged the
Sandman siege of the greater party of
States of the Church and guaranteed to
King Victor Emanuel the sacriligious po-
session of the property. Since then in
spite the condemnation pronounced by
the Holy See, he proclaimed his adhesion
to revolutionary principles of the French
iufidels of 1889, and boosted he inscribed
them upon his banners, when he under
took the present war against the Prussians,
and betrayed still more his evil designs
against the Holy See in ordering that the
few troops stationed in Rome must re-
turn home, thus abandoning His Holiness
to the mercy of the man who, since 1919,
had been using the most wicked means to
get possession of Rome and strip the Holy
See Of thefew remains of territory retained
by him an action so much the more rep
rehensible, inasmuch as when Spain, AusS
tria, and other powers offered to assist the
Pope, Napoleon refused to permit such
assistance, assuming the vindication and
honor 10 himself alone, and threatened
them with war should they send troops to
Rome. What lately happened to the En-
peror is known to the whole world. After
having prevented others from assisting the
Pope; after having urged Victor Eman-
uel to seize the States of the Church, and
after having abandoned the Holy Father to
his enemies, he himself was abandoned,
and fell suddenly like the statue seen by
Nebuchadnezzar.

ST. Louis Fair.

We learn through friend direct from
st. Louis that the Fair, gotten up on the
most magnificent scale, is absorbing and
overshadowing every other business during
the week. The splendid new amphitheater
is lust quarter mile in circumference, and
is splendid superstructure. All Other
business is thrown aside, and all the people
attend the Fair. On Thursday the crowd
numbered over one hundred thousand Wis
itors, while the stock of all kinds, together
with all other interests, we're far ahead OF
any and all other Fairs ever seen in this
country. Such is their success.
We merely ask, why were not some o.
our most enterprising and observant mer
there taking notes" for profting here?

OBION FAIR.



There was a continued increase IN the
attendance upon the fair at Union City,
Onion county, and the third day was one
of immense success. The crowd enjoyed
the exhibition with high relish, and 1t was
worthy the encomiums so lsVishly be-
slowed upon it. The people from the
county and the surrounding counties were
there en- 7,lasse. There could not have
been less than 5000 persons present,
composed of the most substantial ana
first-class citizens of the surrounding
country. Among the crowd there was d
vast number of beautiful, lovely
and cultivated ladies, whose pleasant
smiles and wins0me faces cast glow OF
cbeerfulncss all around and about them.
A number of jacks and jennetts were
shown which were of very superior
quality. But the interesting part OF the
exhibition consisted of textile fabrics and
articles of ladies handiwork. The DIS
NAV of blankets, quilts, wOrsted work,
linseys, flannels, patchwork, emDrol-
derry, etc, in profusion and endless VaIIe-
tv. we have never seen excelled. The
awards of the premiums were made amid
much enthusiasm and gave general satis-
faction. The balloon ascension was very
successful and created much animation
II arose to the altitude of II miles and
fioated gracefully off, descending without
az Cident.
The people are delighted with their
Fair, as they well may be, as among inc
most successful that has yet been held.
Fourth Day.
The Obion county Fair, at Union City,
continued through the week with unsDa-
bated interest, all seeming highly delight
ed with the success of the occasion. The
weather throughout has been beautiful,
and all the surroundings propitlous. The
fourth day was highly interesting one,
the attendance being larger than on any
previous day. By nine o'clock large
crowd had gathered, and much interest
was manifested. The amphithester was
well filed, and the prOmenades and
grounds presented q scene OF life and
animation. The exhibition consist
ed of needle work, fine arts,
etc, and harness and saddle
stock, which was very superior, not easily
equaled anywhere. The nrg for the
fastest pacing, trotting horse Sr geiding
was very superior one, SOME OF the
finest stock in the country competing for
the premiums. The browning feature OF
the day was the contest in the equestrian
ring. a number of ladies and gentlemen
entering for the premiums offered. Much
interest, and even enthusiasm, was created
by young and old over the lively and ami
mated competition presented 10y this ring:
The Fair will close with variety OF
exhibitions, chief among which will be
the balloon ascension, by Prof. Webster,
one of the most sl1illful aerOnauts in the
whole country.
