In a free race for all ages, Pi
lot Temple, b. s., named by w. T
Dickson, of st. Louis, and Byron, 5. s..
named by Alex. Lewis, of Chicago
started. Race won by Temple in three
straight heats. Byron broke very
badly, and was evidently no match
for his rival. Time, 2:29l, 2:3l3
2:3l4. These figures would have beer
| lessened, had Byron rendered it neces-
sary. About fourteen thousand dollars
/ in pools were sold in these rolls, the
risk being quite even on Todd and
| Udell, and ten to three in favor of Pilot
Temple.
The fair has been a perfect success.
No accidents occurred, and everything
passed as anticipated. Financially the
meeting has been self-sustaining, the
first in the State this season. TO-mor-
row the field goes on a special train to
Saginaw, for the meeting next week.

Civil Service Reforms.
WASHINGTON, June 20.-The cabinet |
had under consideration to-day, for sew
sral hours, the subject of civil service re-
form. The modified rules, ten in num- |
Der, having been approved, were pro-
this afternoon. One of them |
declares that while it is not the purpose /
Of the rules and regulations either to re- /
strict the power of removal or TO extend |
the tenure Of service, such power will be |
exercised arbitrarily, and, therefore, ap-
plicatiOn must not be entertained by anv |
having the duty of nomina- |
ton or appointment for the removal of
ANY person in the civil service, nor will |
any person be removed for the mere pur-
pose of making a place for any other /
person. The following are extracts from /
he rules: The grouping heretofore |
made for the executive department /
at Washington is modified by |
striking out the words " female I
clerks, copyists and counters at
line hundred dollars a year" These |
places being below the grade of clerk |
5hips of class one, selections may be |
made by the appointing power at discre-
ion from the list of those reported com
being at liberty to give prefer !
snce to such as may be justly regarded |
IS having the highest claims to public |
by reason Of loss in sup
port or property, occasioned by the death |
)r disability of any person in defense of
he Union in war, or in other pub
ic service of the government. Appli- /
,ants for appointments as cashiers of |
collectors of customs, cashiers of assistant |
cashiers of postoffices, super
ntendents of mOney-Order divisions III |
and other custOdians of large /
iums of public money, for whose fidel-
ty another officer has given official /
ponds, may be appointed at discretion;
1ut this rule shall not apply to any APP
lointment to a position grouped below /
he grade of assistant teller. In cases of
iefalcatiOn or embezzlement of public |
moneys, or other emergency calling for |
immediate action, and where the public /
service would be materially benefited
Inless the vacancy is promptly filled /
without resorting to methods of selection
md appointment prescribed by the
'ules and regulations, or when vacan-
" happens az place remote and diff
;ult of access, and methods pres
;ribed for filling it cannot be filled /
without causing delay injurious to the
public service, the appointment may be
made at discretion. But this rule shall
rot apply to any place which is pro-
1ided TO be filled under the rules of
examination, for the pur-
pose of bringing the examinations for
he civil service as near to the residence
If those desiring to be examined,
IS the appropriation at the COM
nand of the President will warrant,
ind for the further purpose of facilitat-
ng as far as possible the making of Sc
ectiOns for such service equally from
he several portions of the Union, while
It the same time the principle is pre-
erved of promoting merit as tested by
air competition, it is provided that the
States shall be grouped into five dis
riots. The President will employ or
designate a suitable person to be chief
examiner, whose duty it will be,
ubject to the supervision Of the
,ivil service commission to pro-
note uniformity in preparing for
reporting ana grazing eX-
by said boards at Washing
on, and to prepare for, attend, supervise
md report examinations herein provid-
d, to be held elsewhere than at Wash
ngton, the district examinations to be
leld not more than twice in any one
,ear in the same district, except in
where an examination
nav be held in respect of each district
s frequently as the head of such de-
,artment, subject to the approval
he President, may direct; and
III persons so examined in
wherever they may re-
ide, shall be entered on the record of
