The Northern Pacific Railroad.

The annual meeting of the Northern Pacific
Railroad Company was held yesterday after
noon, in the Offices Of the company, No %
Fifth-avenue. The report of President
Wright congratulated the stockholders on the
success and final contamination of the plan
of reorganization. On the 18th inst. the con
version of the bonds amounted in all to $50
POI, 100, leaving outstanding only 500, 100.
The business of the road was reported to be
steadily increasing. The acreage of wheat
along the line was estimated At double that of
last year, and it was predicted that it would
be again doubled next year. Mr. Wright
said that the earnings as reported for the 10
months ending June 80 do not show the full
extent of the increase OF the business of the
road, as the movement in wheat does not be-
gin much before September. The gross
earnings for that month last year were
S947 ,24S.29, an increase of S2l5,0l3.53.
During the 10 months ending June 30 the
operating expenses were ST. ,46S.Sl, leaving

provision having been made for part payment
therefor, the actual net floating debt was
$685. .46.
Under the plan of reorganization the capt
tai stock was divided into 5l0,0 shares of
preferred and 100000 of common. Rcsolu-
tons were adopted approving the report, and

A Silt Race.

saw. Six men and four women were
" entered as. the horsey men would
say. At Arcachon the women share the
exercises of the men. There were then
on the beach of Evrac ten tchankas. In
the patois' Of the Landes, which one
might be tempted to confound with the
Japanese or Chinese idioms, a tchankas
is a person mounted on stilts, and SO
tchanker means to mount upon stilts.
These ten tchankas had all the same
traditional costume, without distinction
Of sex; that is to say, beret on the
head, q mantle of wool over the shoul-
ders, a buttoned doublet, bare feet, and
the legs enveloped in a camano or fleece.
fixed by red garters. Their stills raised
them i've or six feet from the ground.
A pole served them as a third point of
support. Seen from distance, they
looked like gigantic grasshoppers. The
tchanka, however, is seen to perfection
on the bare land, motionless and fixed
like solitary triangle of sunset, or else
when he leans against a pine tree,
silently knitting stockings and guarding
a black and lean flock. Stern and mute
in the midst of q crowd, which was
examining them with curiosity, their
thoughts were concentrated solely on
the gain that they were about to dispute
The prize was not much The victor
won twenty francs (four dollars)- But
twenty francs in the eyes of the tchanka
represents fortune. Soon, at a signal
given by the president Of the fete, they
all ten spread over tie beach, bowling
and yelling If it had not been for their
immense strides. which pass imagina-
ti0n, you might have thought you were
present at an Arabian fantasia Their
evolutions were the same, accomplished
with the same rapidity, in conditions
which touched upon the imrossible. and
on ground where the silt sunk in foot
at each step. Their mantles streaming
in the wind, like those of Arabian cava-
liers, they ran and pivoted round as
deity as if they had been on foot. The
women were by no means inferior to the
men; one of them, in fact, came in sec
ond, and they were only to be distin-
guished by their more piercing cries.
This race was followed by some private
exercises performed by the tchankas, in
order to provoke the generosity Of the
spectators. They jumped, they sat down
and rosI up again, and they picked up as
they ran pieces of money that were
thrown to them. This spectacle was
not the least extraordinary. Bouncing
forward at full speed. the man was sud
denly seen to stop, the stills bent, fell rs
it were 10 pieces, then something was
seen moving between three pieces Of
wood, like the body of a spider On its
long legs. The whole performance was
done with lightning rapidity, the stills
rose again and the man appeared on top
