A great many people in this city
were surprised at Pichball the PAGER
recently purchased by Gainesville par
ties. being distauced IN the free-for-all
pace at Buffalo last week. The follow
ing Is the account of the first heat
taken from the Spirit Qft1e Times:
Lucy drew the pole, Buffalo Girl
second, aud Flora Belle outside. The
word was given on second attempt,
with only Flora Belle and Buffalo Girl
at the wire. II was entirely unexpec-
ted by ifickok, with Lucy, who could
not see anything of Richball; but he
was half dozen lengths back, and
his driver, j. :. Campbell. nodded for
the word. AS Lucy was three lengths
back, the Girl mt once took the pole
and led Flora Belle an open length to
the quarter-pole, in 32l seconds, Lucy

ball last The leaders drew Tar away
from the Others at tine half. in l:05s
aud the thrce-quarter pole in 1889.
Gem and Lucy were here in q hurry
to save their distance. but Lucy broke
badly and was behind the flag. Rich
ball did not pace little btu for him
in any part ofthe mile, and finally
broke on the last turn, Keeping Lucy
company behind the flag. Flora Belle
forced the girl out in 2:l3. The
judges talked of noa distancing Rich
ball, as il might favor Il fraud. Splan
hearing of this appeared before them
on the part of Gem, and argued that
as they had not taken charge of the
horse when he finished, and omitted
to place him in other hands, they had
tain il he was wilfully dstanced or
not The Judges after deliberation de-
clded that me was distanced Camp

What the Society Is Doing for Musical
Cuiiure In the sOuth.

Atlanta Constitution: Mr.. r. Wayne Will
sep, who a few years ego WAS a citizen of At
lsnta, is in the city. He ia making a tour of
the South in the inters ct of series of splendid
concerts which it is proposed 10 give under
the direction of the Me- ut Society OF Mem
phis. Mr.. Wilson is business manager of
the Mozart Society, and is organizing with
the local musical union for 4 cooperation
by which a series OF say six concerts BY The
beet musical talent of this country and Eu-
rope can be given. it ia proposed TO present
these concerts to the various communities Of
the South at popular prices such as obtained
in the East. Yesterday at a meeting of the
directors Of the musical union Mr.. Wilson
presented his credentials from the Mozart
Society and invited them TO i3in the gettsral
Southern union or amateur circuit.
His proposition was favorsblv re-
csived and tc-isv
musical nnion will maet again to mature their
plans and will iseue a general iuviis.ion to
prominent citissns Of ttlsr.s to meet and
tase step5 to execute The plan in the beet
manner. In addition 10 the six entertain
ments it is propo'ed to bring Theodore
unriyaled orchestra on, the tour OF
the South Atlantic States auri-s the two
weets HecinHilS The 10th of November,
The advantages derived from this C ,-opar-
awe union are numerou', Owing 20 the leo.
ia'eo rrysrulons and the long distances between
the cities Of the South, the Southern cities
seldom enjoy really frst-claEs musical enter
tainments, aud when they do the high tariff
Of prices prevents a great many from attend
ing; but in the inion thirty cities can obtain
the finest concerts at very low figures, by
guaranteeing 10 the compsny to take thirty
or forty concerts. 1t is expected also that
the railroads, the rres', the hotel-, etc, will
favor the amateurs in the matter OF prices,
which will greatly reduce expsn,es. A larger
patronage is also expected from the towns
adj lcent to the cities where il is proposed to
give these concerts.
Thus far Mr.. Wilson reports that Louis
vile, iIelens, Little Rock, Memphis, jack
SOD, Tenn Chattanooga, lena, Knoxville
and Rome have entered the union and the
Atlanta musical union, will do coal 3D., if the
proper encouragement Is received from the
cit;z=ns. Mr.. Wilson will be here until
Saturday and will tntn go 10 Charleston to
arrange with their society, aud will go from
there TO Richmond, and returning will take
in The other cities Of the South.
Yesterday Mr.. Wilson said: "As a pri.
mary step the Mozarts Of Memphis have Sc.
cured the valuable services If the expert
enced and able manager, Mr.. Charles E
Locke, who conducted Theodore Thomas 10
his celebrated tour through the continent to
San Frauciscc. Mr.. Locke will remain E.st
and cater for the Southern amateur circuit,
and will probably procure three Of the al
fractions to tits couo'ry and three TO EIrope.
He will have the advice Of theodore Thomas,
who has a deep interest in the matter"
