PRocLIvITY rc lusTAKEs
in figures, and confusion in accounts, -
which that cruel investigating committee
discovered VIII convey some idea Of his
accuracy.
Believing that, with 6S}l miles Of I'm
ishsd road In operation, as a basis Of
credit the bonds could be negotiated at a
rate that would insure the early compile
ton Of the rOad-Che' grand desideratum
and that the difference in the amount
Of stock was not of such value as to defeat
this great object, and thst there could be
no possible incentive in the hands of the
Paducah snd Gulf company to WELD il
to the detriment Of Mem pbls, I asssu- cd
70 tnd proposition.
THE CASE STANDS THUS:
The Peducah and Gulf company have 6sI
miles Of finished rO8d-a Substantial re-
ality. We have a line in the wOOds-a
thing Of air. The Paducah and Gull
company mortgage theirs TO obtain means
Co build ours, and ask therefor the advan-
tsge of 100000 of sJOck--a commodity
which, Mr.. Mitchell says, sis de-
pendent for its value upon the
contingency Of the long future"
This is the Norton contract, and Mr..
Mitchell may make the most Of 10. Unlike
his contract, il did not lay three years un-

that these gentlemen, misled by the

THE TURF.-There was but small attend
ance at the races at Forest City Park, yester-
day afternoon, and they did not excite any
considerable degree of enthusiasm. The first
race was match for $780, between the chest
nut gelding Honest Bill and the black gelding
Black Diamond Honest Bill was the favorite
in the pool selling, although there was scarcely
any competition. On drawing for positions
the pole was awarded to Black Diamond, and
a ter scoring few times the word was given.
Honest Bill took the lead at the start and kept
it throughout the heat, winning easily in three
minutes. He also won the remaining two
heats and the race; the tine of each heat be.
ing the same-3:02. Between the heats of this
race, a match for $100, between the sorrel geld.
ing White Stocking and the bay stallion John
ny SCHNEIDER was trotted The first. third,
and fourth heats, and the race, were won by
White Stocking-time, 3:1-4 2:56, 2:55 The
second heat was declared a dead heat; time.
2:5S. Although the races did not create apy
great excitement, yet they resulted in consid-
cradle sport among the spectators, who were
not disposed to be captious, but were deter
mined to make the best OF the afternoons en-
tertanment. .t.
The public are largely indebted to Mr.
Head, not only for the success of the week Of
sport, which was so recently enjoyed by ouI
citizens, but also for bis general management
of the Park, and the brilliant programme
which he has laid out for the future. The
great fair to be held during the last week in
September, will prove grand carnival of nov
city and excitement, introducing as it will
some of the fastest trottefs in the country
While the races between Mum and Dare have
already excited public interest to an unusual
extent We understand that larger amount
Vi money is pending on the result of the two
i"s'-ha med races than was ever before staked
Oh any race in the State of Maine.
Aoe ludgeS in the races of the afternoon
were Messrs. Frank Berry, Hiram Knight
and Austin Branneeap.
