action next May or June? The Republicans
of the Second Ward have confidence in Mr..

prompted by the purest motives. No Big

AGRICULTURAL PARK.-The committee sp-
pointed by the State Board of Agriculture to
receive bids for the alteration of the grounds
and buildings at the Park has rejected all the
bids. They claim that several thousand dol
lars can be saved by 50 doing. The lowest
bid for doing the work was SIS, 900. They
propose to change the old race-course and
make it regulation track-that is, track
with quarter mile stretches and quarter-mile
curves. The buildings on the east side of
the present track are all to be moved south,
on the H-street side of the course. Nine
hundred feet of new stock shed will be built
at the south turn, with the back of the sheds
on line with the outside of the trotting
track The shed roof will be given the
proper slope, and four rows of benches with
backs similar to those on the grand stand,
will be erected thereon, and be free to the
public. This will seat fully 5000 people,
who will have q commanding view Of the en-
tire track. The machinery pavilion will be
removed to the southwest corner of the
grounds, where it will be converted into an
exhibition building for cattle, and in which
will be constructed rows Of seats for specta.
tors. The machinery building, 104xS0, will
be converted into stalls for horses. The
judges stand will be moved sixty feet north
from its present position, and will occupy
place almost opposite the music stand. A

feet lohg, in front of the grand stand, will
be iDclosed by neat iron railing, and known
as the "q1srter, stretch" The distance
across the field will be two hundred and
forty feet greater than before and the dis
tance north and south one hundred and forty
feet less. Work upon the track will be com
menced Immediately, under the direction Of
James c. Person, civil engineer. Would it
not be well, while they are making the pro-
posed track improvements, to resrrange the
seats in the grand stand, making the slope
greater. so that spectators could witness the
trials of speed without having to stand up, as
they do now?
EUREKAs VS.. IYTREPIDs.-A match game
of base ball was played yesterday at Agri-
cultural Park, between the Intrepids of Ma
rysville and the Eurekss of this city. The
game, which was very closely contested, was
witnessed by large number of people.
Both clubs made an excellent appearance In
their brown aud white uniforms-the Marys.
villes, a fms lot Of misunderstanding fellows,
sporting the latter color. AS the Sacr7.
mento boys we're beaten in former game by
this club, they were given the choice Of posi-
ton, and took the field. The FIRST inning for
the Intrepids was whitewssh, and the Eu.
rekas, on coming to the bat, courteously re-
turned the compliment by following suit.
Ga the second inning the clubs scored an
other whitewash, but on the third Sullivan
and Meazher of the Eurekas, went around.
The fourth inning was fruitless for the clubs,
but on the fifth Sullivan and Meagher re-
peated, and scored two more runs. On the
sixth Deyer and Selby, Of the lntrepids, cir
culated over the bases, and two runs we're
scored for Msrysvills Crone, of the Eure-
kas, made the circuit in safety. In the sew
euth and eighth innings there were no runs
for either party, but the spectators saw some
very sharp playing when the men began to
"catch on " to the tricks of each other. DE
Psngher scored q run on the last inning, and
the game closed with a score of 5 for the Eu-
rekas and for the Intreeiis. Umpire, John
Johu scorer, W. +. Preston.

was present at the Metropolitan Theater
last Friday evening will agree that the

more annoying than another to the average

These people never stop to think Of the large

1t the nuisance increases in the next two
years in the same proportion which it has in
