THE oRpER OF DRILL.

Prof. 3. +. Wright, city superintendent of

in conversation last evening explained some of
the circumstances attending the competitive
drill of communicates, about as follows: Bay

did not muster the number of men prescribed

cries was ruled out because 1t did not appear
as q commandery. Some time ago a circular
was sent to all the commanderies giving GEN
eral instruction as to the character
of the competitive drill In full
compliance with this circular the
several communicates intending to compete
endeavored to perfect themselves in series of
exercises and evolutions which would occupy
the time to be allotted to them. As conse-
Quence they were unprepared for attempting q
different series. But on. the day before the
drill the competing communicates were served
with notice specifically setting forth that Ger.
tain movements and certain order of move
ments would be required. As the Sir knights
are not soldiers en- duty, and subject to drill
every day. It will be essily understood that nc

tion and considerable feeling was exhibited.
the convention plainly and in the most un-
eauivocal and emphatic terms, that the intro
duction of the resolution, or rather its passage
and adoption, will prove the entering wedge
which will SO rend and divide the Democratic
party that its defeet at the polls will surely
follow. The question is one affecting only the
local interests of Leadville, and the party
throughout the State should not tolerate its
destroying presence in the convention"
The convention met this morning at 1880
and the platform taken up by sections. The
resolutions endorse the platform and prlnci-
Piles of the Cincinnati convention, recognize In
Garfield persistent enemy of COlorado's chief
product; demand free and unlimited coinage
of silver; declares that the public domain
should be free to settlement for agricultural
purposes and purchase for mining purposes,
and that the law regarding mining properties
should be plain and free from complications.
Also declares that the system of court fees and
costs is oppressive.
The martial law resolutions then came up
and were debatedj all the morning when the
committeetook a recess.
At late hour in the afternoon the plank
concerning declaration of martial law passed
by vote of 325 to 80. The platform was then
adopted as whole.
Adam Wilson was unanimously nominated
for governor, but declined. The convention
then adjourned till tomorrow.

Maud 8. Fails.

SPRINGFIELD, Mass, Aug. 19.-St. Julien
made the fastest time ever known on Hampton
park, 2:15, while trotting the third heat of the
ree-for-ah race to-day. The track is consider
ed three to five seconds slower than Rochester,
SO that this record is considered really his best
work. Maud s. undertook to lower her Roch-
ester record of 2:l1& for special purse of
$4,000, but failed signally. After going
around the track she trotted an exercise heat,
time 2:29, and shortly after undertook to
speed, but breaking, notified by the loudly
spoken word Go by the crowd which over
Tapped the track on quarter stretch, she broke
sing the quarter pole, by Capt. Stone. The
the whole heat was SO unsatisfactory that the
ment of the betting crowd. Twenty minutes af-
ter she made final attempt. and trotted without
a single break and very handsomely; time,
2: 10. The turns of the track are very bad,
particularly the first, SO that flyers can only
make ordinary time. While on the back
seretch and for some reason the mare WAS not
herself, being quite different creature than
when she showed up at Rochester.
The 2:3O race was won by Parana, in three
straight heats in 2:25$4, 2:2514, 1854. Edwin
Thorn second, Lady Martin third.
In the free for all, 81. Julien took the first
and secoud heats in 2:1914 and the last heat in
2:15. The fastest time ever made on the park
before was 2.l63l, by Goldsmith Maid, four
years ago. st. Julien's driver was taken to the

two communicates would be likely to be train
ed to the same movements and order
of movements. Monroe commandery
of Rochester, N. Y, came onto the
drill ground, but wholly ignoring the new d.
rections, went through the drill according to
its own training. For this it was reported on
the grounds that the judges would not consider
its claims to prize. Raper commandery, OF
Indianapolis, and Reed commandery, OF Day
ton, partly ignored the new programme and
De Molay commandery, of Louisville, did not
wholly observe it. Damascus cOmmanderY, OF
st. Paul, undertook to exactly follow the new
programme, although the members felt that
they could not do as well as if allowed to fol
low their drill practice. The result was Sc
rious error in one of the unexpected move
ments, occasioned by three Knight
not understanding the order, and two
or three individual mistakes or delays. Still
as Damascus has strictly obeyed the regula-
tions and had on the whole acquitted itself
admirably (much better than Reed, which has
third place. it was expected it would be
awarded the second or third place, and 1t is
presumable some of the sanguine Minnesotians
were disappointed.
Prof. Wright's recollections of his day in
Chicago on this occasion are not pleasant. The
trip to the Jockey Club Park, where the drill
was had, was a torture The sitting or standing
there in the sun through all the day was full of
torment. The sufferers could only obtain
water to drink by paying five cents glass for
it and it wasn't very good water. The BARRIERS
doubled their charges. The saloon men doub-
led their prices. The hotels raised their prices.
When Prof. Wright went East he had to him
self good room at one of the principal hotels
of Chicago. and was charged So day. When
he came back he stopped at the same house
and was furnished with cot in the same room
where nine other men were quartered and the
charge for each one was 81 day. At the ho'
tel tables there was but one way of obtaining
anything like satisfying meal, and that was
to pay waiter for it.
