lBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUSE.l
WAsHINGTON, Jan. THE problem as to where
the next Republican National Convention will be
held is beginning to be interesting here where there
are so many candidates. The National Executive
Committee will meet here on the 18th inst, and
they will not be long in deciding. Citizens Of differ
eut cities are already here to present their claims
and applications have been received from all the
principal cities of the country anaeven from COM
parativey small places, the good reasons existing
in each case being enlarged upon. Gen. Gar
field is strongly pressing Cleveland. lie says
that that city is not only peculiarly
fitted by her hotel and other accommodations
for such purpose but that it will he strong move
politically insuring the State Of Ohio to the Repub-
Leans. Citizens of Washington moving to in
huence the Committee to decide upon the national
capital as the place for the convention. large
meeting of citizens was held tonight and resolutions
were passed inviting the convention and promising
suitable accommodations. The sentiment seems to
be drifting toward Philadelphia more strongly than
Ia any other place. Should the convention be held
there it will probably not meet before the ith OF

other city he chosen, the convention Will probably
meet the middle of June.

THE GREAT $40, 900 RACE.
a Vivid Description of the Two Heats.

The first heat-This time they got
the word on u very fair start, Katie
Pease having slight advantage of It,.
AS they bounced around the depres-
sion in the first turn of the track they
We're for n moment obscured from view
from the reporters stand, the eleva-
ton in the side of that part of the
track being occupied by vehicles whose
occupants climbed upon ,the tops and
seats. AS the horses emerged into
view again it was seen that they were
being held in 10y their riders, making
the pace slow one, and that the
horses counted as best in general esti-
nation We're especially held back in
reserve for the latter part of the
struggle. Chance was in the lead with
Hockhocking length behind and
Golden Gate on his hips, the Others
being strung along with less than u
length between each of them, and be-
ing in this order; Revenue, Pease
Foster and Rutherford. Along the
back stretch they continued strung
out much in this order, the exception
being that Golden Gate and Hook
hooking passed Chance, who tell back
to third position, the leading horse
reaching the half mile pole in one
minute. On the turn Golden Gate
still retained the lead slightly, but
coming down the homestretch Chance
again brushed up and took
the lead, coming in at the end of the
first mile (2:02) length ahead. In
the meantime the rider of Foster had
given his horse rein and the animal
rapidly shot 10y his competitors, being
side 10y side with Hockhocking, who
had held second place. The others
were strung out within the space of
thirty yards behind these two in this
order: Golden Gate, Revenue, Ruth-
erford and Pease. Around the turn
pace was Improved, Chance still hold
ing first place. At the quarter Hook
hooking had relinquished second place
to Foster Rutherford was here given
head, and he and Foster began their
struggle for the lead IN earnest. Ruth
erford forged rapidly ahead, passing
one after another of his competitors
until he reached first position. The
half mile post was made in 0:563, and
this gait was kept at this to the end OF
the mile, which was made in l:534,
Rutherford holding first place, with
Foster close upon him, Chance third,
Woodworking fourth, Peace fifth, and
Revenue bringing up the rear. Around
the turn and up the back stretch on
the third mile they clattered, Ruther-
ford having increased his lead to two
lengths, the Others maintaining their
relative positions. But here Chance,
who held third position, showed signs
OF distress and fell quickly to the rear.
From this to the end of the heat the
pace was increased steadily, the strug-
gle being a desperate one, Katie Pease
also making a brush for leading posi-
ton. She Overhauled Hockhocking,
hut could not catch the others.
Rutherford maintained his lead of two
lengths to the end of the mile,
which was made in l:52, Foster Sec
ond. Around the turn they bounded
for the final struggle of the last mile,
the pace becoming still warmer. Down
toward the half Rutherford maintain
ed his lead, and Pease succumbed to
