The Island Races.

4 gentleman very sagely remarked on
Saturday that charging an admission fee
Al the Fair Grounds was a farce, and he
would like TO see the fences leveled To
prevent the trouble, by boys, OF climb
ing over or squeezing through. This Is
about the state OF affairs. Something
less than five hundred watchmen would
be necessary to keep the gamins out.
On sham battle day they could be seen
Swarmiug over or through the fence
from every quarter, until, as the gentle
man said, the trouble of climbing was
the cost of admission.
For the first race, there were the fol-
lowing entries: Lucy, by Spaulding
Wallace; Hermit, Jr., 10y Will Handlan /;
Gus RAYMOND, by viii Franzheim;
Fritz. bv Charlie Rhodes, and Harry
Warden, by Tom List. The race was
for a so set OF harness and was won by
Hermit, in three straight heats. Time
not given.
The second was for a suit OF clothing,
bv horses with no record under 2:iO.
Ii was won by Charles Rhodes Fritz.
The Judges were J. Frank Simpson,
John McCracken and l.. Y. Blond.
There were also two foot races. The
first was between VIM. Bounds and
George Deviney for a purse Of $50, dis
lance 100 yards. 1t was won by the
former by three yards.
The second race, for purse OF 500,
was between Messrs. Baker and Warner,
Baker winning by fifteen yards.

Rnnontion and Persecution.

For sorle days prior to the event, it
had been determined by the young
ladies composing the Junior Glass i'll
the First ward school, to give recep-
ton to the graduating class; so the prey
iOus determination and arrangements
eliminated last Friday evening in the
congregation of the parties interested,
at the residence of Miss Bell Fox, Ia
member of the Junior Class under
whose auspices, as hostess upon the oc-
casiOn, the affair was conducted.
There was quite large number pres
ent, including Professor Il. q. Bundy,
the graduating and junior classes OF
1879, and their intimate young lady
friends. Everything went on SWIM
mingly, and all enjoyed themselves im-
mensely, which with friendly conyersa-
ton, mirthful pleasantly, interspersed
with music and refreshments, the scene
presented to the observer was avery an
minated one, and was kept up until a
late hour.
But it appears the opportunity was
not TO be allowed TO pass without an eX-
hibition of the great regard and esteem
that has ever pervaded the hearts and
minds of the teachers and scholars Oi the
First ward for their Principal, for, when
the festivities were seemingly at their
highest the graduates were nothing 10th
t. put quietus upon everything else,
that honor might be done him, and forth
with he was presented on their behalf
with three handsome and elegantly
bound volumes, one the "History of
English Literature" and intellectual
deyelopmentoi Europe" in two volumes
The compliment was acknowledged on
the part of the Principal in his usual
eloquent and feeling manner.
This, however, was not all, for after a
short time had elapsed he became the
recipient, at the hands Of Miss Bell Fox,
Of veryunique and beautiful inkstand,
which, in like manner, received ms
heartfelt acknowledgements.
The occasion throughout we think will
be one long remembered by those par
ticipating in it, and hereafter, when they
look away back into the distant past, and
the scenes Of that happy evening fit be-
fore their mental vision, oh, may it be
viewed merely as pleasant incident OF
the voyage of life, rather than produce
any intense or longing desire TO be trans
ported back to those happy days, be-
cause of hardships undergone, or great
sorrows that have been encountered IN
their travels through life. In other
words: may the remembrance OF those
happy seasons OF the past be but the
counterfeit presentment of those that
are and are To come.

The A. vi. Il. Camp Meeting
Other Church Notes.

Camp Meeting began last Friday
evening. The opening sermon was
preached by Rev. Prosser, OF Wheeling,
the preacher in charge of the meeting
The attendance on Saturday, on account
of wet weather and other causes, was
but slim. Tents on the grounds are
more numerous than during the meet
ing Of last September. Mr.. Graham, OF
the Market street restaurant, Wheel
ing, has erected a large boarding tent in
the grounds, where he proposes to
furnish nourishment for the bodies OF
all who favor him with a call, at reason
able rates-30 cents for breakfast, 80
cents for dinner and - cents for sup
per. We never saw Walnut Grove as
clean and nice as it is this season. Those
in charge of the meeting have taken all
necessary precautions TO insure good
order by installing Il regular police
force. And we hope they will be as
sisted in their efforts by all our good
citizens. The regular order of exercises
will be prayer meeting at 6 O'Clock A.
NJ, preaching at 10 A. NJ, and at 8 and s
O'Clock P. NJ. each day during the meet
ing.
Yesterday (Sabbath) Rev. Young
preached at 10 A. NJ, and Rev. Wheeler
at p. NJ.
The crowd yesterday, was pretty good
considering the weather, but not as large
as on Sabbath during last years meet
ing.
A number of prominent ministers are
expected during the week.
Rev. 5. Y. Kennedy, pastor OF the VI.
f. Church, preached yesterday in the
NJ. +. Church of Bridgeport.
Rev. Sam. Boyd, OF Wheeling, was
visiting his son, T.. c. Boyd, yesterday.

Complaint was made at police head
quarters on Saturday against Tillie
Clark, the proprietress OF bagnio on
Twenty-frSt street, below the Guards
engine house. \ detachment OF police
were sent to demand the surrender.
This was refused by the garrison, and
the citadel was finally carried by storm.
Four arrests followed, two men and two
women, who were escorted, without
the honors of war, to the lookup.
Yesterday, more complaints were laid
i'm, this time against Maud Stanley aud
Kate Mooney, and about ten o'clock last
night a descent was made upon them.
At the first named, four were captured,
three women and a man. At the last
there were no guests, and the madame
and one star were taken. 1t is useless
10 give the names of the men, as they
all assumed ones-HOms de joie, as it were.

WeddinrI,ast Might.

The beautiful little edifce in which
the members OF the Disciples congrega-
ton are wont 10 hold their devOtiOns,

anticipation OF a wedding. The ushers,
Messrs. Frank Mcneil, Sam and Ab.

ity and skill to find seats for the people
who constantly appeared at the door,
and when every pew in the church was

ing was crowded with devotees or spec

At9 o'clock, after the interesting ser
vices were concluded, Prof. Weber's
fingers struck the familiar and sublime
chorus of Memberships Wedding
March, and the bridal party entered.
First came two young ladies from the
Island. members Of the graduating class
and pupils OF the bride They were fol-
lowed by the bride and groom elect,
Miss Eva Rice and Mr. Oscar Seeley.
The former wore black silk dress, the
latter morning costume. Ascending
the chancel steps they faced the pastor,
Rev. Thompson, and in the brief cere-
mony OF the church were made man and
wife.

MYSTERIOUS Shooting.

Last night, about $50 O'Clock, n couple
of shots fired i'm the vicinity of the Bap-
fist Church, corner of Twelfth and By
ron streets, caused large crowd to as
semble to learn the cause. a number
of the police soon after swooped down
and secured the vicinity, but to no Ell
feet. Though at least twenty persons
had witnessed the shooting no one
knew either of the parties, at least they
said they did not. They told a long
story which may be stated as follows:
A man was promending near the
church with a married woman, both I'M
known, and in the midst of their stolen
pleasure the husband appeared upon
the scene. The courage of MephistO-
pheles was not equal to meeting with
the injured husband and he took to his
heels, closely pursued by the aven-
ger. He ran up Twelfth and down
the next street, and as he turned the
corner drew a revolver and fired two
shots at his pursucr. Neither did
any damage, but discouraged the hus-
band and he abandoned his vengeance
temporarily. Returning to his wife he
said 81 guess you'll 90 home now"
and uttered some dire imprecation upon
the supposed paramour. The woman
said : ooh George! don't!' and they
went off together.
This is all that can be learned and is
given at its worth. The facts and names
will come out as they certainly must be
known. The witnesses could none of
them tell the names of the parties though
several knew them by sight, This is
often the case when a reporter or an Of
tiCer wants information.

Prospects Of Race.

For some time back it has been
understood that G.. W. Weisgerber
would challenge Louis Fclsihg to three
mile race. 1t will be remembered that
the latter won race from the former
last season, so that a challenge from
Weisgcrbcr would be "the proper
thing" This challenge has been made,
and should it be accepted the represen-
tativcs of each man will meet tonight
TO arrange the particulars.
II nothing happens and the match be
made, the race will be an epoch in boat
ing circles in this vicinity. Each man
has no lack OF supporters, and each has
an cnviablc record. From the time in
which the last race was rowed, close
contest and quick time may be ex-
peCted.

Who is He ?

The Steubenvlle HeruH OF Saturday
has the following particulars Of the muir
der Of a man supposed to hail from this
city and to be piano tuner:
The man who was found Thursday
morning wandering i'm a field near ALI
anCc, almost beaten 10 death, died Satur-
dav afternoon, at three o'clock, from the
effects OF the violent blows received,
without ever uttering an audible word
and II has turned out 10 be a clear case
of premeditatcd murder Parties at once
followed and arrested them six miles east
of there, and brought them TO Alliance.
When first arrested they pretended to
know nothing about the affair, but on
hearing of their victims death made a
full confession of their revolving crime.
They say they met their victim in the
morning at about o'clock at the water
tank little east OF town, and knowing
him to have some money entlCed him
10 the woods near by, where the afro
CiOuS act was committed with a coup
ling pin. All the money they got for
their brutal work was five dollars, which
they divided. The one gave his name
as Nucrnburgh and the other as Ohr.
Nucrnburgh is not more than sixteen
years old and Ohr about nineteen. Both
are tramps. The murdered man, it is
thought, is a piano tuner, as instru-
ments used for that purpose were found
in the possession Of the tramps when
arrested. From all that could be gath
cred it is thought he was from Wheel
ing.
