CHARLEY GOODWINs POEM.

A friend sent US a ''proof" copy of the
poem written for our Carson celebration by
Hon. c. G. Goodwin; SO that NE had the
opportunity, if we had had the time aud
space, to put it in print. But time and space
short-handed as we are and are compelled by
the hard times to be, prevent. 1t is to be
said here, however, that we are greatly an
noyed that we are not always able to present
our readers with full reports of such matters
IS this. But such is the misfortune attend
ant upon inadequate provincial journalism.
The poem embodies in good form and fashion
something of historical retrospect, is admir-
ably adapted to the theme and occasion, and
in many of its passages iseloqnent and stately.

THE RACES.

The opening day of the new track at Car
son, Thursday last, was the largest race course
attendance we have ever seen i'll this part of
the world. The grand attraction was the mile
and repeat running race, sweepstakes, 81 900,
between ''Ilusion," "Batterman' and "April
Fool" The pools on the night before, as
well as during the day of the race, showed
the bay FLY 81 Illusion to be the favorite,
and winning the first heat under heavy pull,
as she did, in L47f, gave her friends the
strongest confidence in her But Batter
man." reported off and in no condition, won
the second heat in 1.5O1, which mixed things
in the pools. Then to make matters more
interesting, April Fool won the third heat
in L. 81 and the fourth in l. Sc, thus capturing
the money and surprising the crowd with the
result if not with the time The race was
general disappointment, not because well
tried mare won it, but because she won it in
such provokingly slow time over reputed
thoroughbreds.
Next came half mile dash, for $3.50, be-
tween I" Red Oak, Kent" and "Glen Dud
ley" which was won by the former in .494
Then came the $500 trotting race for horses
that had never beaten 80, for which were
entered "Stewart," Morgan" and Jim
Cook" The former was an easy winner of
the first heat in g. SO, " Morgan" being fair
second, and Cook" on the wrong side of the
distance flag The second heat was disgust
innly slow for game trotters, as they had
shown themselves at Reno on the Saturday
before, and was won by " Stewart" in 2.398,
Morgan" who had almost made dead heat
of the fifth on the preceding Saturday race
away down in the thirties, being distanced.
The race, as whole, was the least satisfac-

THE GRAFTON.

On all sides, and particularly from compe-
tent judges of such efforts, we hear the best
of praise of Judge Leonards Grafton. The
effort bespeaks the scholar, the patriot and
the orator We greatly regret our inability
TO put II in print; but so greatly have we
been pressed with job work lately, that our
necessarily small force has all it can do to
handle the ordinary amount of matter pre-
pared for our columns.

ABOUT TOWN ETC.

We notice that silent monitor of the modest
virtues, General Chamberlln of Reno, among
the visitors to the Capital. He comes, like q
good neighbor, to attend the races. He ex
presses great admiration for our race-course
and it's surroundings, and declares himself al
most persuaded to be Carsonite. If Reno
could spare him We should intercept him as
dence and dubiosity. The MORNING APPEAL
extends very hearty welcome to the General.
Old Broadhorns sat his horse right sturdily
rs he rode at the head of the procession on
the Fourth. His plug hat looked very
thoughtful as it settled down upon his care
worn brow; and there IL cautious step in
his horse which seemed to hesitate as it were
upon the ragged edge of the perplexing prob
lem of Il third term whose WY Is full of the

ure. self-satisfaction and trustful reclining
in the arms of his trainers and bottle holders.
Like old joey Bagstock, the Governor may
be rough and tough, but he is not to be tri-
fed with in horse trade. Moreover he rides
like man who knows how to keep his seat if
his chances are only fair and we'll settled and
the harness securely adjusted. But he don't
sit as easily as he did before it began to be
whispered that Conner might like to bestride

| tory portion of good days amusement, but
| the fault was not with the management, nor
do we think it was with the track, so it must
have been with the horses.
The races of yesterday, the second day of
the meeting, was not so literally patronized
as on the day before, but still the attendance
was reasonably good, better than we have
seen in Sacramento or San Francisco when
thousands of dollars were in the pool boxes
or in the stakes.
The first was trotting race, three in FIVE,
for $500, between Jim Cook, " Democrat
and g Lulu" which was easily won by the
former in ga, 3.48f and 2. 421. Demo
crat," veteran in harness, was too lame to
have been brought onto track, and was of
course distanced.
The second race, mile and repeat, for 800,
was between " Elliptic" and "Bill Hazel,
and was won by the former in 1.5O3 and
1.524.
The third and last race of yesterday was
dash of mile and one-half, for purse of
$780, for which "Grayhound, Glen Dud-
ley" and Crank Hastings" were entered.
Won by GO Hastings" in 2:478, which, con-
sidering the high wind prevailing at the time,
was good race.
The races for to-day, for which pools were
sold last night, are running race, two miles
and repeat, and trotting race, two in three,
for $50 horses. For the first the entrees are
''Molie H. >" "Madge Duke" Frank Hast
ings" and " Bill Hazel" ranking in the pools
in the order in which we haye given them.
For the trotting race the entries are "South
Platte, " Maggie c." and Translator.
VERY HANDSOME turn out of the
Liberty Engine Company on the Fourth was
the finest display of fremen that we have
ever seen in the State-as fine as we ever saw

balmed and taken East by his troupe
New YORK, Aug. IA private dispatch
from San Francisco gives some particulars OF
Montague's death. His last words to Mr.
Carroll Ward and other members of his
troupe, who were endeavoring to do some-
thing for his relief, were: tits no use, boys;
God bless you all;'' and falling back he ex-
pired. There Is much grief exhibited at the
clubs and theatres here, where he was great
favorite His lastappearance in this city was
on Saturday evening, June Is, in Diplomacy"
the last night of the season at Wallact's. He
was in doubt whether he would go to England
for awhile and see his mother, whom he had
not seen in two years. or make an extended
tour through the country, and visit his
native land in the winter. He at last deter
mined on the latter plan, and on the evening
of July started for San Francisco He had
his programme all laid out up to Christmas
ten days, and then to take tour of the West,
South and Southwest The only relatives
that the dead actor leaves behind him are his
mother and sister. His mother lives In one of
the suburbs of London, and is understood to
be in comfortable circumstances His sister
is married and has a family. It is said that
the funeral arrangements have been made by
Mr.. Lester Wallack and Mr.. BoucicauIt. The
ceremony Is to be held at Rev. Mr. HOugh-
toms church, at which place Mr.. Montague
was n regular attendant, and by whom he was
highly regarded.

BARRIE, Ont. Aug. 12.-The first day of the

in the most satisfactory manner. The water

ST. PAUL, Mimi, Aug. 8.-Various rumors
OF the reappearance Of the locust scourge in
the Dakota wheat fields take definite shape
in a Bismarck special to the Pioneer Press of
to-day. The dispatch says the grasshoppers
came flying from the west last week. doing
considerable damage to gardens and root
crops on the west side Of the Missouri. Sew
eral fields Of corn were destroyed, and all the
They then crossed the river in as great num-
bers asat any time in former years. Corn
and potatoes suffered most. One famer lost
$1,000. The dispatch goes on to say that they
were moving east, and would probably enter
Minnesota. This creates little alarm here,
the grasshoppers being thought to be mere
remnant OF last years swarm, and not new
lot. Besides, it is too late In the season for
much damage to be done to wheat In the Red
River Valley. The great wheat fields of
Dakota lie more than one hundred miles to
the east Of where the locusts are reported to
have appeared, and will be out of danger be-
fore reached, even If q swarm comes so far,
which is unlikely.
