The Buffalo Races.

On Thursday of last week, at Buffalo,
occurred one of the most exciting races of
the season, and of especial interest to
Michigan men, both horses being owned
in the State. 1t is said there were fully
$4,000 spectators present and tnat as the
race proceeded the enthusiasm was intense.
Reports of the race differ greatly and there
does not seem to be any two of the disin-
terested reporters who saw all the circum-
stances even substantially alike, but the
following statement of the race is gathered
from as reliable source as we have been
able to find, and it is presumed to be sub
stantially correct, if not entirely so.
This trot was for special purse of ST.
900 to be equally divided between the
contending stations and an extra $500 to
the horse beating Smuggler's time, 2:154.
OF it the Buffalo Courier says: "This was
race of unexpected brilliancy, two great
steeds appearing to test their strength and
speed in an attempt to compass hitherto
unchallenged feat. Both animals repre-
sent famous strains jerome Eddy, owned
by Dewey s. Stewart, of Owosso, Michi-
gan, is by Louis Napoleon, son Of Vol
unteer, out of Fanny Mapes by Alexander's
Abdallah Black Cloud, handled by Geo.
w. Voorhees,, of Detroit, is by. Ashland
Chief, dam by Capt. Walker. Both were
in superb condition, fit TO trot for mans
life, as an experienced turfman said
Pools sold before the trotting at 800 for
Jerome to $50 for Black Cloud, with a
good array of takers, who continued to
increase in number until the horses were
called for the
FIRST HEAT.
Considerable difficulty was experienced
in getting start, but when the horses were
sent off Black Cloud had the lead by a
length and maintained it until near the
close of the third quarter, when Eddy
went to the front. There were periods in
the early part of the heat when the bay
considerably reduced the stretch Of sun
shine lying between him and the brown,
but it was not until Black Cloud passed
|
lead which gave him first place and evoked
cheers from his hackers. Jerome trotted
the heat at magnificent clip, and was
heartily cheered as he made his mile 2t65
or second and quarter behind the best
recorded stallion time. The time by quar-
ters was 81, :0Si, ;424, 2:16t.
SECOND HEAT.
The success Of the favorite. sank Black
Cloud in the eyes of the betting men, and
he dropped to IS in the pools, while Jerome
Eddy stood at $50. Even at So there were
few to take the big black horse from CEN
trail Michigan. This time the horses got a
splendid start, the most perfect in the rec
ord of the meeting, was obtained, and the
horses went off with their heads as even
as if they were harnesscd in team. Black
Cloud drew ahead and at the quarter pole,
| which he took first in 34 was q full length
ahead of Jerome. On the back stretch
this difference was preserved with a few.

divide the proceeds among themselves.
A meeting of the managers of these
lines was held here in Denver only a
few days since to adjust the details
of this division. But whatever these
roads do there can be no more arbit-
rary and unjust combination than that
now existing among the eastern trunk
lines, which is so rigid that the usual
concession for excursion parties, etc.,
are not allowed. The once liberal
and progressive Pennsylvania road is
a moving spirit in this pool with
Vanderbilt and Gould. When Tom
Scott was at the helm this company
had some respect for public sentiment
and the rights of its patrons. Under
the present management it is con-
Quoted on the hog plan, and both
public opinion and public interests are
wholly ignored. But I have written
enough about railroads for the present
though not half as much as might be
written. On the way out here met
commercial traveller who is some
thing of wag and thus related the
experience of himself and companion
on the way west over the Baltimore
and Ohio. They were the sole oc-
cupants of the smoking car and tried
to converse, but the road was so
rough that they were pitched from
side to side like ships passengers.
AT last they were able to understand.
One said, "Dan, the old thing is run
ming smoother" To which Dan re-
piled, "Yes, guess she has got off the
track"
Denver has changed or improved
wonderfully in the four years since
my last visit here. From the bus
ting little town of perhaps 10000
inhabitants at that time it has grown
into city of nearly double that num-
Der, while fine public buildings and
costly private residences have gone
up on every street. 1t is truly me-
tropolis, corresponding in importance
to New York in the East and COM
pairing in beauty with the best cities
of any section. The numerous mil
lionairs who have "struck it rich" in
Leadville and elsewhere during the
last few years have contributed much
to improve this city for they nearly
all come here to live. Governor Ia
Dor, for instance, is one of these-in
fact, one of the heroes of Colorado,
whose praises are loudly sung in ev-
cry part of the state, but more espec-
tally here in Denver, where the build
ings and banks attest his greatness.
The Tabor block on Sixteenth street
is the pride of the city, and the
Tabor Opera House, opened last
September, surpasses anything of the
kind west of Chicago. The Tabor
mansion also, out little in the SUBJ
urbs, is regarded as palace by the
admiring natives, and is really the fin
est private residence anywhere in the
West. 1t is said to have cost mil
lion dollars, and perhaps it did,
though of course it could be built
for much less in the East. But this
screed is already long enough. When
l have looked around little / will
tell you something about the country.

New York Hash-Eatcrs.
sun Interview.


"Have we any demand for hash ?" said
Lewis Leland, of the Sturtevant house.
"Why, my, friend ! am a hash-eater my
self When landlord eats his own
hash you can rest assured that there is
nothing unclean about it. Oh, yes; |
know there are many people who think
il too common a dish to be good. But
this is a mistake" At the Windsor ho-
tel the cashier said one of the stewards
could give fuller details, but in his ex-
perience neither the glamour of a foreign
language nor the art of a wilderness of
French cooks could hide the fact that
hash is hash and a favorite American
dish. The most petite daughter of fash
ion relished a plate of well-preIared
hash as well as a newspaper reporter. In
the absence of the Hon. Chas. Delmoni-
co, his representative stated that a large
number Of their customers were liberal
diners, but the hash-eater was numerous.
And why not2 Good meat was good
meat in any disguise, and the manner in
which they dished up square American
corned-beef hash would have tempted
Horace Greeley. Mr.. Adams, of the
Metropolitan hotel, thought the demand
for hash would increase as the weather
grew cooler. But in all times hash was
a standard dish In his experience many
young people, travelling for the first time,
were inclined to wade through the whole
bill of fare, and often some eccentric
Jersey doctor would begin with ice cream
and end with soup. But after all, meat
and potatoes, well cooked and seasoned,
make the foundation stone of this great
republic, and this is what we call hash.

Fashion Notes.

Street costumes are either very gay or
very sober
A great deal of red will be worn by
little people.
Arab red is the newest and liveliest
shade of this color.
The fishwife's poke is the novelty for
little girls wear.
Tan-colored, long-wristed loose gloves
are the first favorites of fashion.
Little girls wear pellisses similar to
those of their mothers and older sisters,
Plush is as frequently used for chill
dren's dressy wraps as for larger peo-
pie.
Little girls dresses are even more
quaint and picturesque than in sum-
mer.
Plush artificial flowers and leaves are
striking, elegant novelties in milli-
merry.
Combinations of materials in con-
trasting colors appear in Paris imported
costumes.
Fashionable women wear laced shoes,
but t button-boot is by no means dis
carded.
A skirt of bright plaid worn with a
jacket ofimperial blue makes very at
tractive costume.
Jersey waists in new forms will be
worn by girls and little children, and to
a limited extent by ladies.
The same variety and latitude in color
and materials appear in children's cloth
ing as in that of older people.
The first fall wraps for children are of
dark, rich-toned, fine wooden plaids, in
pelisse-like forms, with plated shoulder
capes.
The turban and Tam O'Shanter cap
cashmere will be much worn by little
children under 10.
Costumes of smalt blue and hussar
blue, with accessories of Arab red,
brighten Fourteenth and Twenty-third
streets in New York every afternoon
when it does not rain.
On the day of the millinery opening
of the Cooperative Dress association, the
president, Miss Field, was seen fitting
about the rooms in charming costume,
one oi the Wo-th's happiest conceptions
designed especially for the wearer. 1t
was ofimperial blue fo0le, with a scarf
tablier of Ottoman silk in one of the
new dark purplish red shades, "high
art" color, with cuffs and other accesor-
les in velvet of the same rich, ruddy
hue.

A NOVELTY.
A Portable Opera House Is the Last
Great scheme.


Great scheme.
Detroit Free Press.
1t is a well-established fact that the
most small cities, while they may have
a so called opera house, soon tire of the
place, and in consequence it is hard
matter 10 attract anything like paying
audience in those towns. The causes are
constant use of the same scenery land
oftener than otherwise it is poorly paint
ed and rapid dilapidation because Of a
lack of proper care.
These facts falling under the eye of W.
c. Coup, the circus manager, who is a
close observer, caused him to set his wits
at work about two years ago to devise a
plan whereby the best plays, operas, and
oratorios could be produced with the
most desirable and elaborate surround
ings in cities where, because of the lack
of facilities, such performances have not
yet been given.
After much study and engineering he
completed his plan, had drawings and
estimates made and then let the matter
rest where it now remains.
The plan, compactly stated, is an ope-
ra house capable of holding l. 600 or 800
people, which can be carried on and is
partlyfformed by train of cars. each 80
feet long. The details, briefly stated are
that the cars are made to be elongated
and raised by telescope process when
in use as an opera house and closed when
in transit The plan has been submitted
to numerous architects and railroad men,
who pronounce it perfectly feasible me-
chanically, while faith in its financial
soundness has been shown by repeated
offers of capital to carry on the enter
prise.
There are yet many simple yet very
handsome details of the construction and
ornamentation in the design, which em-
braces a large stage with the traps and
other machinery, flats, wings, set pieces
and borders, of a first class theatre; par
quette, dress circle and gallery, all of
which is carried in the cars. The build
ing can be put together inside of five
hours after the train has been drawn to
the lot selected for the exhibition, and in
order TO reach lot away from the rail-
road depot, portable track half mile
long is arranged for.
The work of moving a train into town
and of setting up the house will be done
under the supervision of two foremen-
one set Of Ten working on the stage and
the other in the auditorium-by laborers
employed in the town.
Mr. Coup's plan is to advertise and
work up business as he would for cir
Gus, which work, coupled with the nov
city o the plan and the excellence of the
performances given, would, he believes
fill the house for two performances each
day.
To put the enterprise on the road, the
estimate calls for $4,000 capital, and
while nothing is settled as yet, it is not
unlikely that the portable opera house
will be a feature Of next seasons show
business.

A safety Envelope.

The fact is familiar to all, that an
ordinary envelope may readily be opened
by moistening the paper over the gum,
after which operation, if done neatly, the
contents may be noted, and the missiye
again sealed and sent 10 its destination
A perfect safety envelope, however - not
one admitting ofany such manipulation
may, it is said, to be secured by treating
that part of the paper covered by the flap
with a solution of chronic acid, ammonia,
sulphuric acid, sulphate of copper and
fine white paper. The flap itself is
coated with solution of isinglass in
acetic acid, and when this is moistened
and pressed down on the under side of
the envelope, solid cement is formed,
insoluble in acids, stea m, water &c.
