The saturday Sport at Midway Park-A
Series of Interesting Events.
"Our Day" at Midway park yesterday
afternoon proved grand success mas
much as two parties, discouraged by the
interest shown in the N atch made by R.
G. Glenn and Martin De-
laney, q week ago Saturday,
took hold of the matter and arranged an
attractive programme, and carried it out
to the letter. The attendance was be-
tween four and five hundred, among whom
were many ladies.
The programme given consisted of four
purse races, viz: pacing race, 800 and
2:45. 5.trotting classes, and pony running
race.
For the pacing race the starters were A.
B. Lasher's black gelding, Niger; EhIe
Aliens b. g. GypseY; P. Langley's G. 5.
Gray Dan, and L. G. Reinhard's ch. g.
Bob White. Lasher's horse won the race
in straight heats, closely pressed to the
three-quarter pole by Gypsy and Gray
Dan, from which the better bottom of the
black made him an easy winner. The black
made the two winning heats in exactly

b. s. Skinkle; Newport's sorrel gelding;
McLeod's Gray Mack, Geo. A. Nash's b. g.,
and Alexander's chestnut gelding. This
was most exciting race, Skinkle taking
the first heat in 2:33, with Newport good
second. In the second heat Skinkle acted
badly and Newport was the winner in
2:4515. the best heat of the race as it
proved. In the third heat Skinkle was
level while Newport's horse made a
bad break at critical point
letting the stallion win the heat. and with
it the race. Time, 2:47.
The other race was for 2:45 horses, for
which the starters were Butcher Jim,
owned by Jno. Mcintosh; Kittie S, owned
by Simon, the pawnbroker, and Little
Queen owned by Mr.. Bunce, of Minneapo-
lis. Kittie S won the first heat handsome
ly in 2:40, but showed up lame in scoring
for the second heat, which was won in gal
liant manner in PAL by Butcher
Jim. The third and deciding heat was
repetition of the second, Butcher Jim
winning easily in 2:4O.
There were two starters in the pony race
for half mile, the boys riding with skill
and spirit, and the race being won by only
length.
AS a result of the pacing race, match
was made on the ground between Lasher's
Niger and Langley's Gray Dan for $500
side, to come off some day after the fair
at Minneapolis, and still other matches
are on the tapis.

The Bismarck Tribune of Thursday
contains reprint of the teIegrams in
Tuesdays GLOBE, which appeared under
the above head. iThen the Tribune goes on
to say many foolish things about the dis
appointed architects whose plans for the
capitol were not accepted. The dispatch,
1t may be said for the Tribune's benefit,
did not originate with the unsuccessful
applicants for fame and fortune, it was
plain statement of the fact that Ordway
had his proboscis too far into;the business,
| and was working in collus1on with Hughes
to run the whole machine, to the exclusion
of the ideas of members of the commits
sion who had sense enough to have indie
pendent thoughton the subject.
AS to the idea of bribery, as the Tribune
stated, the GLOBE said at the time the
plans were accepted, that the unsuccess-
full architects stated that they were en-
couraged to offer bribes; one offered
$4,000, and the other $4,000,
to have their plans accepted,
Of course the vIrtuous (?l governor
would never think of such thing and his
| heart was doubtless filled with a holy in
dignation at the idea of getting that
amount of hard cash into his pocket when
he could get more.
1t would hardly be expected that an out
tit like that led by Ordway, should admit
it's own crookedness, and it is possible that
the Tribune man really believes that the
only thing lacking in the combination
of virtue, as represented by the members
of the capital commission who are in
league with the governor, is a Sunday
school snperentendency or bank presi-
dentship. Of course the governor would
do nothing wrong; only, as stated in the
telegram, if he does not keep his nose a
''leedle more oud" of the saffairs of the
capital commission, and leave them more
free to act upon their own jungment, 0fur
is liable to fly" Mr.. Ordway is not
member of the commission, and he might
be very largely surprised some quiet
morning if he found that majority of its
members had very forcibly sat down
upon his cushion like figure. There is no
venom in the fling at "hisoner," however,
as all such things roll off his BODY like
water off ducks back; not because he is
oily, but from long experience in warding
off the blows which, if rumor is accurate.
have been falling like rain upon him from
varied sources for years. His assumption
OF the Hrst person, IN speaking of the acts
OF the. commissioners. is at least, a curious
factor IN support of the statement that he
Is endeavoring to run things.
Further, it is supposed that an indi-
vidual, friend of Buffington's by the
way, has been ''fxed" to take the contract,
and 1t is also supposed, and in fact it looks
Ito man up tree" as though the unex-
pected delay in the matter of awarding
the contracts was brought about by the
fact that some of the members had minds
and votes of their own.

VIZ give elsewhere the full programme
of the great Northern Pacific excursion

1t is royal trip which is planned, and one
which, in all its appointments, will surpass
any previous event of the kind. The ex-

September I'd, and proceed to Lake Min
netonka. 1t is interesting to read in the
programme for that day, that
s'in consequence of limited hotel ac-
commodations, guests will sleep upon
the cars.'' If there is any night
when the hotel accommodations will be
ample, it will be the night of Sept. I'd at
Hotel Lafayette. That mammoth resort
could care for half dozen such parties at
the same time without being crowded. 1t

North Dakota UnirersttU,

The contract for the construction of the
North Dakota university has been awarded
to P. B. Brougham, of Mimic, for $4,000.
This includes the observatory, but does not
include dome for the university building.
Stevens and Javegan, of Fargo were
awarded the plumbers contract for little
less than $500. The building committee
were instructed to procure the services of

A En0Lish Mni6en-

The Grand Fork News of the 18th inst.
contains quite an extended account of q
mash game which member of the base
ball nine of that city played with fair
female of Fargo, in which the f. f. seemed
to come out second best. Her heart was
evidently won and he received beautiful
little butterfly note, charged with delicate
affection, which he confded to the tender
care of representative of the News. 1t
seems strange that Fargo young lady
would permit herself to be taken-in in
that style. 1t must be that she is old and
homely, or else very common character.
Fargo girls usually are not up to tricks
which have tendency to "give them
away" though this may be an exception.
