Programme Of ExereIses-The Plan
TO be Adopted at the Drawing of

Jno. F. Wheaton, Captain Jno. Derst and Mr..

The whole will conclude with the "Grand

Blues Brass Band.
The concert is under the manaS ment of
the following committee of the R'des: P.
NJ Russell, Chairman Jno. +. Glatigny,
B. II. Richardson, NJ. Frank Molina.
The following is the plan which has been
decided on regarding the drawing Of the
prizes:
The committee of citizens appointed to
superintend the drawing will have two
wheels, one of which will contain numbers
to cores pond with those on the tickets, and
the other the numbers from l 10 100, repre-
senting the prizes AS ticket is drawn
from wheel No. ticket will also be drawn
from wheel No 2, which Will designate the
prize won by the ticket from No. ], and so
on till the 100 numbers are all drawn from
wheel No 2. There will be TWO secretaries,
who will write the numbers down and the
prizes they draw as they are drawn from the
different wheels, and also another who will
write them down on black board before
the audience. The committee are taking
great interest in the matter, and without
doubt it will be conducted in an entirely
satisfactory manner.
We are requested to state that after
tonight all tickets will be In the hands
OF the committee, and can only be bought
from them. These tickets will be for
sale up to the time the drawing begins,
after which they will be withdrawn. as
there has been a great demand FOR them,
however, it will be well for those contem-
plating attending the entertainment and at
the same time assisting one of the most
meritorious members of our citizen soldiery
not to delay making their purchases.

turning of this aspect of Christianity, by

A Talk with Alley Bonner About His
Fathers Horses,

MY father drives Dexter most of the
time, said Alley Bonner short time
ago in conversation, land even prefers
him, for friendship sake, to Rarus or
Edwin Forrest
Tell me something about your father
and his horses, Mr.. Bonner" said the
reporter.
well. said he, smiling. "my father
knew no more about horse when he
was young than horse did about him.
He took two horses as Il diversion from
the cares Of business, and once interested
in anything, he aims at perfection as near
as possible. The finest horses in his sta
bic at present, as you possibly know. are
Rarus and Edwin. He is opposed on
principle, to allowing his horses to COM
pete on Il race track. We have stock
farm ut Tarrytown at which the horses
are generally kept. The buildings are
ordinary, but comfortable. We have fine
stables at our city residence. My father
is fortyseven years of age, and his in
tense application to business in former
years has taken away some of the old
ambition. At one time he was a con-
slant attendant at the Fashion and Union
tracks, but now he prefers staying home.
When he first started the Ledger he
worked hard, coming home at II o'clock
at night and leaving for work at o'clock
the next morning. He made some $50
600 the first year, and he took all that
money and speut'it for advertising. His
peculiar style of advertising was not con-
sidered respectable, and remember my
mother telling that the papers We're abus-
ing him, but he laughed and said that
was just what he wanted"
How does Dexter look for his age:r
"You couldn't tell that he was so old.
except by his teeth. He is very good
roadster now. and my family (my mother
has been dead for three years. all love
the old horse. He is now twenty-three
years old. By the way, Mr.. Allen, of
New York, was once the owner of Dex-
ter. Allen is now here with me and
Edwin Thorne and John w. Shaw, all
guests of Mr.. Edwards. Allen is per-
haps the finest Judge of trotting colt in
America. He bought Dexter in New
York seventeen years ago, and after de-
veloping him into 4 fine trotter, sold him.
His new owner raised him up to 2.11i,,
and my father bought him on the track
when he had accomplished the then great
feat. for 500, 600. Both Rarus and Edwin
Forrest have improved on their famous
records, and have each trotted under 2. ~
III private trials.
