A GOOD START.
First Day of the Speed Meet
ing at the Fair Grounds.
Names of the Winners in the
sAz sH Various Races.
Programme of the Contests
$50 for this Afternoon.

The spring meeting of the Tri- City Trot-
ting Association commenced yesterday Of
ternoon at the Far Grounds, and taking
into consideration the fact that the races
had been postponed from Wednesday on
account of the rain, the beginning was q
pronounced success.
rs The attendance was fair, fully 500 peo-
pin were upon the grounds f ling the am
phitheater, while many occupied carriages
upon the quarter stretch.
The track was in good condition, as the
sunshine had dried il up during the day,
and rendered It all that could be desired,
after the recent soaking which it received
on the day previous
The records of the different contest dem
onstrated the fact that some fast time will
be made this afternoon and to-merrow,
when the track win be in still better con-
dition.
The usual drawbacks In first-day meet
ing were experienced, but this win be rem
edied to day. More time was occupied in
getting the horses from their stables and
ready 10 start than is usually customary,
but this will doubtless be improved upon
to-day. @s
The first race of the afternoon being the
three minute class, was won by Edna
Boy, .5ss..ersf .esss.ss Fsas .sss
The 2;s7 class was given to Lucy. while
the novelty running race was divided be-
tween Lochiel and Master Malloy.
= Miss Pinneo made her appearance upon
the track mounted upon one Of her thor
oughbred horses, and exhibited her eques-
trian grace and skill by riding half mile
dash, and also in three mile race with q
change of horse at the end of every mile

Mrs. yyinslow's soothing syrup.

Rev. Sylvanus Cobb thus writes in the
Boston Christian Freeman:-We would by
no means recommend any kind of meGi-
che which we did not know to be good
particularly for infants. Buto Mrs. Wins
lows Soothing Syrup we can speak from
knowledge; in our own family it has prov
ed a blessing indeed, by giving an infant
troubled with collie pains, quiet sleep, and
the parents unkroken rest at night. Most
parents can appreciate these blessings.
Here is an article which works 10 perfec
ton, and which is harmless; for the sleep
which it affords the infant is perfectly natu-
raj, and the little cheiub awakes as ''bright
as button" And during the process of
teething, its value is incalculable. We
have frequently heard mothers say that
they would not be without it from the birth
of the child till it had finished with the
teething siege, on any consideration what
ever. Sold by all druggists. IS cents a

Jeremiah Mason, who ranked
in his day, as one of the fore
most of New England lawyers,
was induced to attend a course
of Emerson's lectures. Asked
what he thought of them, he
replied: "They are utterly
meaningless to me, but my
daughters, aged IS and II, un-
derstand them thoroughly"
This was repeated far and near
as a jest, but it may have been,
probably was, literally true. A
purely legal mind like Mason's
was not of the kind to appreci-
ate the speculative, idealist mind
of the lecturer, and it is not at
all unlikely that the imaginative
intuitive, poetic girls caught at
once what entirely eluded their
fathers perception. There have
been any number of young wo-
men to whom Emerson was
clear when he puzzled mature
and learned men of exalting po-
sition and extended reputation.

Sale of Henry CIay's Old Home.

Lexington Press
The home of Henry Clay was
on yesterday by the executive
committee of Kentucky Uni
versity to Major Henry Clay
Mcdowell, of Franklin. The
property contains 1854 acres;
and the price is $4,000. OF
course the transaction is sub
ject to the approval of the
Board of Curators, but where it
is so manifestly to the best in
terests of all concerned to sell
the property there is no doubt
that the curators will confirm
the action of the executive com
mittee. By this sale the prop
erty passes back to the Clay
family, where it should be. Mrs.
Mcdowell is the grand daughter
of the Usage OF Ashland" and
the only surviving child of Col.
Henry Clay, who fell at the bat
tie OF Buena Vista, leading the
Kentucky troops in that gallant
charge in which so many brave
men fell, turning the tide OF
battle and changing defeat into
victory.
Ashland was purchased some
Is years since by the citizens Of
Lexington at a cost of soc, 900
and donated as a site for the
| Agricultural and Mechanical
college, but owing to failure
to properly secure the title and
a long era of bad management,
the property has been diverted
from the object for which it was
purchased, and the proceeds OF
the sale will go to pay debts
contracted under the Bowman
regency.

THE GREAT STRIKE.

One hundred thousand men are on
strike in the Ohio valley,-one hum
dred thousand men, with at least one
hundred thousand women and chill
dren dependent upon them for shelter
and bread.
What does it mean?
That the production of wealth has
been decreased at least half million
dollars per day that the volume of
trade and its resultant profit has suf-
fered corresponding decrease; that
in few weeks gaunt hunger and want
willlenter forty thousand homes where
now is plenty, that crime fostered by
idleness will run riot in ninety cities
and towns where law and order now
prevail that property worth millions
will be jeopardized that great in
dustry-the principal industrial life
of an important section of the coun
try-will be permanently injured, and
that doubt and uncertainty shall cloud
the future of a region where stability
and prosperity but yesterday reigned.
1t is pity. Somebody is to blame.
And upon that somebody rests fear
full responsibility-the responsibility
for loss, and failure, and poverty, and
hunger, and want, and crime!

The Results of Necessity.

What the ancients suffered for the
want of knowledge in medical science
can only be appreciated by contrast
ing the vast amount of suffering
cured and pain alleviated in modern
times, by the use of Swayne's Oint-
ment for skin diseases. It's introduce
ton was characterized by the
necessary withdrawal of score or
more of Elusive, quack nostrums,
whose evil effects have left living
monuments to denounce them.
Thus is exemplifed the proverb,
Necessity is the mother of Invention.
