The Foot Race at She Track Yes

The absorbing sensation at thu
race track yesterday was the 1Oi
yard foot race between the person
calling himself Downie and an un'
known man from nobody knows
where. Downie is . runner who
follows horse races to pick up soft
thing occasionally, and he succeed
ell in winning u hundred dollars
from the hackers of Neil Clarke: an
amateur. While he was fixing the
tricks for Clarke, however, there
was another man in town also TAX

with his hacker and professed to
be looking for job in the machine
shops. His hacker. councillor and
guide is a fat, good nature.l man
who hides his identity under an

moving from Office Republicans who have
been always active In the support OF their
party and its principles. and placing in

knowledge themselves to be Republicans,

the same thing was repeated, window

day when the train reached the same
place the conductor and engineer
were on the lookout, and saw a
colored boy in the act of throwing the
rock. The train was stopped at once, and
the conductor gave the bad boy chase,
but failed to overtlke him. He found out
where he lived, and on the return of the
train will leave information with the au-
thorIties at Chula which will result in the
arrest and punishment OF the offender.

John S. Wise, Esq:
Sir,-Your note OF this day has been
handed me by our mutual friend, Captain
Andrew Pizzini, and beg to reply that
your explanation Of the manner in which
the article headed "a Characteristic Edi-
torial" came to appear anonymously is
sufficient to induce me TO withdraw my al
fusion to it as "cowardly," etc. | must
acquit you Of the responsibility therefor.
In regard to the other eXceptionable
phrase, Lying imputation," it was writ
ten upon the presumption that the article
attributed an unworthy motive for my ed
itorial. l understand now, however, from
your note that you only considered my
Judgment partial, without assailing my
motives; and while / do not admit, but
still deny, that my personal relations with
Colonel Thomas j. Evans inspired any part
OF the editorial on the subject OF Judge
Holidays removal OF commissioners, new
ertheless, responding to the sentiments Of
your letter, unhesltatingly withdraw the
offensive remarks.
Respectfully, G. OBJ. CowARDIN.
