THE WILMINGTON DRIVING PARK Asso-
CIATIoN CLOSES ITS FIRsT MEETING
WITH AN OBVIOUS FRAUD-No RACING
OF 1NTEKEST.
The Wilmington Driving Park Associa.
tion, as it is called, closed its first and last
meeting Saturday afternoon, with race
taken part in by horses entered for the
2.40 ami ESQ races, and then breathed its
end as peacefully as though it had covered
itself with glory. PERHAPS 200 persons
were present who had paid at the gate,
and there were many others, principally
boys who came in on "fence tickets" The
racing was to commence at two o'clock, at
least every one except those acquainted
with the true inwardness of the affair, ex>
pected it to commence, but the owners Of
the horses, probably seeing no chance for
getting their premiums in the near future,
refused to let their horses trot. So those
who had paid to get in, walked about the
grounds, smelling fraud and wondering
at their simplicity at being taken in by
such an evident Sell" 1t was we'll on to
three e'cleck when the managers prevailed
upon two or three of the owners to lei
their horses to let their horses trot for gate
money and expenses, and shortly after
that hour the race was started. Three
horses took part namely Lyman and Harry
Ford entered for the 40 race, and May
entered for the 2.30 race. Beyond being
a pretty race, the drivers keeping together
by mutual consent, it had nothing to re-
commend it, Lyman won in three straight
heats, with Harry Ford second, and May,

and an excellent and delightful place for
picnic purposes, being we'll shaded, free
from underwood, and. sufficiently elevated
above the river to give a fine view OF river
scenery. The celebration at the grove was
an old fashioned basket picnic under the
auspices of the Rapids City Brass band
and Collier base bail club, each OF whom
had stand aud an interest in the dancing
floor. The Declaration of Independence
was read by DIR. w. Thompson aud an ex-
cellent address was delivered by Mr.. A.
Mcdonald who being red hot greenback-
er gave the people q regular greenback
speech. This much may be said, that Mr..
Mcdonald had not expected to speak on
| the occasion, as others had been invited for
that purpose, but as they failed to come to
hand he undertook to partially supply the
deficiency and did well considering the
circumstances. One or two others also
made speeches and helped to round out the
speechmaking part of the programme.

Keep the hair clean in the first place,
and avoid the use OF pomadcs and hair
oils. Nature provides all the oil required
to develop its natural gloss and Inherent
beauty. But she does not open the oil
glands without demanding some effort on
the part of the recipient OF the treasure.
Continuous brushing is the price to be
paid and thisrequires nothing but patience
and perseverance. Neither should the
time devoted to this purpose be looked
upon MS wasted, for hair brushing has q
specially soothing and quoting influence.
Fifty strokes OF the brush before retiring
will make the stitIest and dryest hair CLOS

trying, and il perseyered in will doubtless
prove successful, while the dose may be
increased with still more decided effect.

Rich Mems Sons.


Ioty buuBet' '-I
The President Of one Of our largest
banks said, a day or two since, that a rich
mans son had Just left his place, and he
was the last man OF the kind he shauld
ever employ. The man was faithful hon
est, and filled intelligcntly and well all the
duties required Of him; but Just ashc had
become accustomed to his work he found
it was too combining, and raw clerk had
to be put in his place. A badlook for rich
young men, but it is the old storyTrepeated
for u thousandth time. II rich mems sons
will not endure tho drudgcry by which
nearly all their fathers secured money and
position, they must take a secondary place
In the next generation; and oftener they
drop out OF sight amid the idle, worthless
herd, II indeed they escape an association
with loafers and criminals. What say the
labor rcformers to facts like these, for facts
they arc without question. Nearly every
man in any leading position in the commu-
nifty began life poor. Let the sons ofrich
men take warning,and go TO work honestly
and faithfully every day, ifthey hope to fill
the positions held by their fathers.

New Orleans Times.
Whilst the yellow fever is on the wing
and the Southwest is dividing itself up
into innumerable small ccntcrs isolated
from the rest of the world by barriers of
quarantine, the crops arc swiftly and
steadily advancing to maturity under con:
ditions which justify the most brilliant ex-
pectations. The general burden OF the
advices from the cotton regions Is more
satisfactory than had been anticipated,
and the sugar harvest promises to fulfill If
not exceed the estimates made early in tho
wear and affirmed from time to time as the
season advanced. Beyond the gloomy
horizon OF the disease the prospect is more
than usually hopeful.
