MIDWAY RACES.

Another Interesting Saturday Afternoon
Sharp Practice Rebuked by the Decision
of the Judges.
The managers of the matinee trot at
Midway park yesterday afternoon have
reason to congratulate themselves on the
success of their enterprise, which was
really repetition of a previous affair a
week before. Upwards of 1000 persons
were assembled on the grounds yesterday
afternoon, among whom was a fair
sprinkling of the fair sex, who were ap-
parently deeply interested in the culmina-
tion of each event. The races were all
very fair, considering that most of the
horses have been in daily use and not in
the best possible condition, but the prin-
cipal event was one that will interest horse
men throughout the country, namely the
feat of Commodore Kittson's bay mare
Astoria, probably the last direct
descendant from the twins of the hero of
Chester, ,Rysdyk's Hambletonian mo won the
track, and she until yesterday without a
record. Her performance of yesterday,
making mile in 2:2915, adds another ito
thelistof Rysdyk's Hambletonian's get that
has beaten 2:30, this making 36. Astoria
is a sister of Dexter and Dictator, Dicta-
tor being the sire of Phallas and Jay Eye
See, whose performances have been the
wonder of the past season On the turf
Astoria is with colt now, and nearly
twenty years old. She was
driven yesterday by Mr.. L. D.
Woodmansee, who had the credit of max
| ing Pocahontas famous and several of
| Bonner's stable often. Mr.. Woodmansee
is now close onto seventy years old, but
the manner in which he manipulated the
ribbons yesterday might have put many
a would-be turfman Of the present day to
shame. The names of Woodmansee and
Astoria on the turf brought many a lover
Of the horse back decade OF years to the
| time when Dexter, Goldsmith's Maid and
others of that school were the wonders of
the turf. When the old boy came to the
| score yesterday afternoon a round of ap-
plause went up from the grand stand,
but when the judges gave the
word CO." and the veteran sent
her spinning to the half-mile post in
1:1415. The excitement was running high
as she made the turn and came down the
stretch at 2:30 gait. Bets were offered
that she would make the mile in 2:28, but
her driver did not wish to iniure the mare
by overstraining, and, as he afterwards
remarked, was satisfied to beat 2:3O. The
exact time made by three watches was
2:2912. Several outsiders made the time
still lower, one going as low as 2:28I.
The races were all mile heats, best two
in three and for $50 purses, and were as
| follows:
| THREE MINUTE CLASS.
Alexander, Deck, Mcleod, Sorrel Kate
Logan, Nash and Dan R. Deck won in tw:
straight heats. Time-2:51, 2:52M
Mcleod, second Time-2:52. 2:57
The 2:40 class brought out a field Of

played. Butcher Jim won the second and
third heats and the race. Kitty won the
first heat and third place in the last.

HE startling report from Idaho of the
proposed attempt to capture the President
while not scarcely credible is, nevertheless
among the possibilities. 1t is question
able whether the executive of the nation is
justified in leaving his post of duty and
undertaking a journey which involves
such possibilities. As the chief executiv g
of the nation he owes it to the country to
use reasonable diligence to preserve his
personal safety and this whole presiden-
tial trip has been an unnecessary. i'll
advised, junketing affair. If it should end
IN disaster it would not be a surprise.
The president has tempted danger and
may consider himself fortunate if he does
not meet with some serious mishap. He
is due in st. Paul tomorrow, but
no tidings of his return from
the Yellowstone Park have yet been re-
ceived, and this fact gives some color to
the wild report from Idaho. If the partv
are making the journey safely they should
reach Livingston to-day at the farthest
and be in st. Paul by Tuesday
night or Wednesday morning.
1t is over week since the Northern Pa
ci6c sent special car to Livingston for
the party, a fact which shows that there
has been some unexpected delay in the
programme. A president captured and
held prisoner by bandits
would be something new in
this country. In fact no such opportu-
nifty was ever offered before, as no pre-
vious presidential trip has been made to a
portion of the country where such a scheme
could be attempted.

IT is reported that when Mr.. Dorsey has
finished his revelations of political party
wonder-making, ex-senator Conkling will
supplement them by some disclosures of
his own. This is hardly probable. 1t is
not much like Conkling to do a
thing like that. Doubtless he has 1t
in his power to produce revelations that
will make music in the air, and produce
CONSERVATION along the whole
line. 1t is not unlikely that the time may
come when he will speak out, and if he
does there will be quaking and dismay
among certain virtuous "Bosses," who
will wish they had never been born. But

Didn't RecOgnize Him,

After Waldo had chased the car for at
least one hundred yards, yelling at the
top of his voice to the driver to stop, he
managed to get aboard. To his aston
ishment and disgust, there sat his friend
Middleton.
''You saw me running in the hot sun
why didn'tyou tell the driver to stop,
and not let me run myself into a brain
fever?" and with his hooked finger he
captured some perspiration from his
brow and slung it out into the dusty
street.
Il did not recognize you at first.
From where | was sitting could only
see the upper part of your body, and I
wasn't sure that it was you. You could
not expect me to recognize you when I
could not see your feet?''

that this was a joke, and that the point
of it was about twelve inches in length,

The season is almost here when the
summer tourist makes his periodical
visit to the rural districts. tits not gen
orally known whence he comes or
whittier he goes. He springs up at the
first approach of warm weather. even
as the mushroom rears its stately head
after an April shower. He resembles
the mushrOOmin another particular
is generally about as soft. He is one of
those persons who is too poor to 90 to
fashionable watering-place, and too
proud to stay at home. You can east
~ distinguish him from other animals,
such as taX-cOllectors and book agents,
by his personal appearance. He wears
q linen ulster cut demi-train and held in
place by diagonal equator of the same
material. He will also usually wear a
pair OF green goggles and carry for
midable looking grip-sack in his hand.
He wears the goggles because he started
out with the intention of finding every
body green, and it is easy to do this
when looking through green glasses.
He will engage board of some unsOphis-
ticated farmer for ten dollars per month
and grOwl because he does not get fifty
dollars worth of attention. Besides all
this he will expect the privilege of firt-
ing with the farmers daughter, and
should she refuse, he considers that he
has been shamefully treated Flirt he
must and will with someone, if it
is only the hired girl. You are expect
ed to religiously believe all the yarns he
may choose to tell concerning city life,
and even encourage him occasionally to
make them q little more unreasonable.
He will curse the country, and you must
enjoy it with as keen relish as if you
were swallowing sugar-coated pills on
the half shell and even lay aside your
religious scruples once in while and
help him curse it. The food never suits
him. He is as fastidious as Stalled
COW, and one would Judge from his con-
versation that he was raised on the liv-
ers Of birds Of paradise and the distilled
essence Of roses. The truth probably is
that he boards at a fifteen-cent lunch
stand and picks his teeth in front of a
popular hotel. Sometimes the summer

The Lime-Kiln Climb,

Judge Cadaver had lately fallen into
the habit Of showing up at Paradise Hall
an hour before the meetings open and
studying art with no one to bother or
make him afraid By careful inspec-
ton of the busts of Caesar, Jackson,
Clay, Shakespeare and Sumner, and by
close inspection of the three or four
sacred hOrse-pistOlS, the four renowned
swords and the half-dOzen chromos, he
has become almost 4 cOnnoisseur, and
can almost tell the difference between a
genuine ReubenS and atea-store plaque.
He was on hand as usual Saturday even
ing. Samuel Shin left him standing be-
fore the bust of Caesar and went down
stairs after an onion. Upon his return
the Judge lay senseless on the floor, and
around him were the fragments of the
busted bust. The Judge had scarcely
revived when the meeting opened, but
there was no shade of pity in Brother
Gardeners voice as he arose and said:
Judge Cadaver will be given two

an electOr on the Fremont ticket in

one of the Territories, and subsequently
Surveyor General, and then served two
terms in the House. He was sought by
all the scientific, religious and literary

man in either branch of Congress-
Well, this of it: For several years past
that man kept one of the lowest dives
and brothels in the city, where young
men and weak men were lured by rum,
cards and women. He died the other

followed to the grave by a depraved
creature of the town whom he called his

Bismarck and the Porker.

On prairie corn the pride of Illinois,
The hog grew fat, and grunted forth his Joy,
Dreaming Of days when he and such as he
Should travel far across the salty sea.
In foreign lands ne meant awhile to roam,
Selecting Deutschland as his future home:
There, cooked with fragrant herbs, and served
with wine,
He would displace the scrawny native swine
He meant in time to grace a sumptuous board,
Perhaps the table of the empires lord
And hoped, although the notion made him
vince,
He might repair the tissues of Prince.
Bismarck, the mighty, noting from afar
The hogs increase, proclaimed pOrcne war,
Declaring, with deep draughts of RhenIsh wine,
Eternal enmity to the Yankee swine.

Then ceased to grunt, absorbed in serious
thought,

Drank down great fagOns Of Bavarian beer.

And loudly praised the rich and tender meat.

THAT hogs of mine so daintfly had Jared,
For me let such a pOrkcr daily squeal,
And give me meat like this at every meal"

pride;
For very Joy it could have sobbed and cried,
As with a Western twang it whispered clear,
