The Races.

SARATOGA, July 1.-THE attendance
at the races was not as large as that OF
yesterday.
the first race, a dash OF one mile, tor
all ages, for a purse of $500, had three
starters, Kingfsher selling first in the
pools, Alarm selling second and Fad
ladeen lowest. They went off well to-
gether, and after running quarter OF
a mile Alarm was held back by his
rider and allowed Fadladeen to 60 to
the front with Kingfsher Immediately
in his rear. Coming down the home
stretch Alarm made splendid burst,
coming to the front and winning hand
somelv BY one length, Fadladeen sec
ond, with Kingfsher tapping him.
Time, l:424. :.
The finish OF the race was an excel
lent display Of speed. A brisk shower
came up at the close OF the first race
but it did not have the effect OF cooling
the atmosphere to any extent.
In the second race, a selling race, for
all ages, for a purse of 5000, there were
four starters. Toward the end of the
pool selling Buckden, Sanford and
Mary Louise sold nearly together Allie
Hunt selling below them. The shower
lasted long enough to give the track q
good wetting. The horses made good
start, and at the half mile pole Buckden
and Sanford were leading. Allie Hunt
was kept in hand until nearing the home
stretch when she was given the rein. and
coming up passed Buckdeu, Mary
Louise tagging far behind. The end Of
the race was handsomely contested be-
tween Allie Hunt and Sanford, being
won by Allie Hunt, by half length.
Time, 2;404.
Another shower sprung up at the
finish of the race, but stopped before
the horses appeared on the track for
the third race.
For the fourth race, dash Of two
miles, for purse Of $500, there were
four entries. McDauiers Tubman was
The favorite in the pool selling, Lochiel
selling second and John Merriman and
Susan Ann selling lowest. The track
was very muddy in front Of the stand.
The horses got off well together, Merri'
man taking the lead and running the
first mile three lengths ahead OF Tub
man, who then cloeed up and passed
him, going two lengths in front all the
way to the home stretch, when Susan
Ann tried to head him, but failed.
Tubmsn won the race, coming in ahead
Of Susan Ann, who was closely followed
BY Merriman. Time, 1891.

Hon. Henry G. Davis.

The Wheeling Register says, land we con-
cur with III that Senator Davis deserves the
thanks Of his constituents for the effort he is
making to secure from the Federal government
payment for the bridges, churches and other
property destroyed 10 this State in obedience
to military orders during The war. We pub
lish elsewhere the bill introduced by him in the
United States Senate for that purpose and the
bill now pending in the State Legislature for
ascertaining correctly the amount of these
claims. Other States have been fully REIN
bursed for the losses sustained in obedience to
military orders, and there is certainly no valid
reason why restitution should not be made to
West Virginia.

At the National Labor Reform Convention

there was considerable talk Of his being an
