KEENE'S FOXHALL.
CARRIES OFF THE GRAND PRIX.
The Great French Raee-Two 90
One against the Amertcan-Wfn-
ner by Head-The "SpOrtsman,s
on the Result.

PARIS, June lathe grand prize race
was won to-day by J.. r. Keene's Foxhall,
Tristan second, Albion third. The contest
was very close between the two first, par
ticularly on the home stretch, Foxhsll beat
ing Tristan by head.
The weather was fine but sultry. The
various roads to tongues Champs were
thronged with vehicles. A great many
drays were conspicuous bearing flags. The
attendance was immense. President Grevy,
ex Queen Isabella and Ministers Constans,
Maguin and Ferry were present. Henri
Rochefort, the Duke of Hamilton, Prince
Soltykoff and Marshal Mcmahon were in
the paddock. Owing to a recent rainfall
the course was In excellent order. Two
to one was the best price obtainable upon
Foxhall. Albion and Tristan were well
supported. Long prices were obtainable
upon the remainder OF the field. 1t may be
truthfully said that FoXhall was in front
throughout the race and despite the effort
OF Richer. who brought Tristan up with a
great rush at the distance. Foxhall won by
a head amidst tumultuous applause from the
Americans, who seemed to go quite mad,
and the waving OF the stars and stripes
from many drags.
In the preliminary canter Cashmere and
Albion appeared to go best, although Fox
hall was greatly admired. After one false
start the horses were sent on their journey.
Foxhall and Tristan took the lead, but
Archer pulled Tristan back and Dublin
became second. Alternate running was
then made by Foxhall and Dublin,
followed by Fiddler, Leon and Albion, with
Forum and Tristan next and Cassimer last,
until going down the hill, about half mile
from home, where Foxhall still held
the lead, with Fiddler second, Dublin being
beaten. Foxhall and Fiddler were attended
by Scobell. Tristan and Albion. In this order
they ran to the distance, where Tristan join
ed Foxhall and the pair ran a superb race
home, Foxhall, who stayed longest, win
ming by head. Four lengths separated the
second aud third horses. Fiddler was
fourth, Skobell fifth, Royumont sixth, Fo-
rum seventh, Dublin eighth, Cassimer
ninth, and Leon last. Time 3:17
The betting at the start was two to one
against Foxhall, three to one against Al
bion, four to one against ScobelI, and five
to one against Tristan.

THE UTAH DELEGATES.
Campbell to Fight Cannon In the
Courts.

SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH, June 11.-Learn-
ing that Clerk Adams, disregarding Gov.
Murray's certificate, had placed Cannon's
name on the roll of members of the House
of Representatives, Mr.. Campbell yesterday
brought suit in the Third District Court here
to establish the fact that Cannon is not a
citizen and was incapable of becoming one
at the time he claims to have naturalized,
and to annul and declare void the bogus GER
tificate of naturalization upon which he de-
pends. because It was fraudulently obtained
aud is not part Of the records of any court,
but is such certificate as was after sold In
those times, nearly thirty years ago, by the
clerk for three dollars without any pro.
ceedings being had in the court. 1t will be
shown that when Cannon's certificate pur-
ports to have been issued he had not resided
In this country five years, or one year, and
was, therefore, not entitled to be natural
iZed under the statutes, and this certificate.
besides being void on its face, in the absence
of any legal record of his naturalization, is
voidsble because no court could legally
have issued it at that time, even if it had so
desired.

JUDGE LYNCH AT WORK.
The Murder of an Old Man swiftly
Followed by the Pursuit, Capture
and Hanging of the Three Murder
ers.

A dispatch from Little Rock, Ark, to the
New Orleans Democrat says: ''News of a
horrible murder in Sewer county, accom-
panied by swift retribution on the part of
Judge Lynch, reached this city to day.
An old man named r. f. Hall left his
home, intending to visit relations in the
adjacent county. Upon reaching the ford
on Rolling Fork creek he found the waters
deep and dangerous and hired three negro
men to put him on the other side. The
negroes had heard of him, and on learning
his identity resolved to rob him, IS
they believed him wealthy and that he
had a large sum of money with him.
They set on the old man and a terrible
struggle ensued on the banks of the creek.
Hall was soon overpowered and robbed, the
thieves, however, obtaining only twenty five
or thirty cents. Enraged at the smailness
of the sum, and fearing the consequences
of the assault, they decided to complete
their work and destroy all traces of the
crime. With this determination they
strangled the old man, and tying heavy
weights to the body flung it into the creek.
The remains aoated down the creek, and
were shortly founo lodged In the branches
of fallen tree.
"The discovery aroused the neighbor-
hood, and an old negro gave a clew to the
murderers, who meantime bad taken to the
woods. Bands of men at once set out to
hunt them. The ringleader was captured
first He admitted his share In the murder,
but said he was drunk and did not know
what he was doing. He was taken to the
creek, and, despite his yells and pleadings,
was hung to the limb of an adjacent tree.
