THE GREAT RACE AT ROCHESTER
How Lulu Beat Goldsmith Madeline
2:15 Ia

The races at Rochester, N. Y, resulted in
the defeat of Goldsmith maid by Lulu, as
has already been announced by telegraph.
The excitement was greatest when the race
of the day-the free for all race-was an
nounced, as it was known that four of the
best trotters, namely Nettie, Lulu, Ameri-
can Girl and Goldsmith Maid would be
entered, but no one entertained for mo-
ment, the thought that the result would be
as it was.
In the pools the Maid sold at 100 to forty.
The first heat, after repeated scorings and
fair send off, was had. Lulu and the
Maid were nearly even, Nettie and the
Girl length behind. Before reaching the
quarter the American Girl had passed Lulu
and was next to the Maid. At the half the
Girl was closing rapidly on the Maid. At
the turn the Girl led by two lengths, when
the Maid, by burst, went to the front.
In the home stretch the driver of the Girl
used his whip, but to no purpose, the Maid
winning the heat by two lengths, Lulu third.
Time 2:155.
In the second heat, in the ninth score,
there was a fair send-off, with the Maid
and Lulu even; the Maid, however, soon
went to the front, but at the quarter made
break, when Lulu closed on her. At the
half the Maid led by two lengths. On the
third quarter the Girl went to the second
place, but on the home stretch, by splen-
did burst, Lulu went to the front, winning
the heat in 2:169 the Maid second.
In third heat there was good send off,
with Lulu to the front, but making break,
the Maid passed her. At the second quar-
ter the Maid led by two lengths, and at the
half by four lengths, Lulu second At the
three-quarter Lulu had gained, and only
two lengths behind the Maid. In the home
stretch the Maid skipped, but almost in
stantly got down, but Lulu jumped to the
front, and amid the almost intense excite
ment kept gaining on the Maid, and won
the heat in 2:15s, American Girl just saving
her distance.
In the fourth heat Lulu was the favorite
at 100 to twenty. Lulu led by two lengths
in the send-off at the quarter. She main
tanned the lead on the third quarter. The
Maid put on a squirt and closed the gap
between her and Lulu to half length |
On the home stretch Lulu made break
and the Maid passed to the front. Lulu
got, down to work and was urged by Green
for all she was worth. She closed on the |
Maid and they got down even. When
near the wire Green showed Lulu, and
she came in half nose ahead, thus win
ming the heat and the fastest four-heat
race ever trotted in the world. Time, 2:17.
There were fully $4,000 persons on the
grounds.

Presidential Souvenirs.

Is The Chicago Courier recommends that
the tailor shop of Andrew johnson, which
IS still standing in Greenvllle, Tennessee,
with its original signboard hanging out,
bearing the words, "A. johnson, Tailor. y
De removed to the Centennial grounds in
this city for exhibition next year. 'Let it
stand" says that journal, "on tie most
prominent spot on the grounds, and there
let it tell to the countless visitors from all
nations On the globe it's wonderful story in
behalf of the equality of man" We rather
like this suggestion, and hope the people
OF Greenville and the Centennial managers
Will agree to the bringing of this historical
tailor shop to the great exhibition. That
humble sign, painted in yellow letters,
would be read with interest and wonder
by thousands, and, as che Courier suggests,
would convey useful and instructive
lesson.-Phd. Tunes.
To the Editor of tie Times:

arrived at manhood, drew. cord wood and
lumber to market, and the little log cabin
at which he watered his horses by the way.
Above all, let us have the bunk from under
the tan-house counter, on which his kingly
head nightly reposed at the beginning of
the rebellion. The log cabin might be
placed in the rear of the tailor shop, the
rail fence surrounding both. The bunk,

conspicuous place on the Centennial ground
where republicans may contemplate them
with veneration, monarchists with wonder.

An analysis Of England's marriage sta

married from twenty to twenty-five, fifty
two more of her chances appear to be lost
and if she remains unmarried for five years
more she will turn thirty with only fifteen

After thin ty-ive she has eleven and half

A Cincinnati man, who well deserves i'm
mortality and barrels of greenbacks if he
succeeds, thinks he has discovered plan
by which the smoke and cinders from
locomotive can be carried to the rear end
of the train and there set free without an
noying passengers. His apparatus consists
of simple tube, a foot or so in diameter,
running from the smoke stack over the
tops of the cars to the rear, his theory be-
ing that the speed of the train will create
draught of sufficient power to suck in all
the smoke and cinders and scatter them to
the winds behind the train. The idea has
been patented, and, if it proves effective,
the patentee should receive the thanks of
the entire civilized world, and no doubt he
will, and make fortune besides.

THE HIGHEST BRIDGE IN THE WORLD.
The highest bridge in the world will be
built at the crossing of the Kentucky river;
on Shaker ferry. The Baltimore Bridge
Company, one of the most noted in the
United States, has secured the contract.
The bridge will consist of an iron deck
truss of three spans of 375 feet each, centre
to centre, supported by two piers and two
abutments. The piers will be built of ma
sonry to height of GA feet, and inches
above low-water mark, and the additional
distance below water mark will soon be
determined by borings under control of the
resident engineer. These piers will be 1870
feet long end to end of cut water, and 35
feet wide at the top, built hol ow, with the
walls "a feet from the end. Upon the ma
sonry will rest the iron trestle work. The
grade line is 275 feet inches above low

the cliffs ON each side of the river, and are
to be 48 feet high, depending upon the
shape of the lodges of rock. When this
