SHERMAN, TEX, Oct. 3.--From in
formation received to-day from one Of
the most prominent horsemen Of the
country, II appears that our North
Texas circuit will have the largest at
tendance of first-class stock that has
ever been collected on any circuit
west Of the Mississippi river. The
crack nags from the Northern and
Western states will be brought here
TO wind up the season and here for
the first time they will meet rivals
that have been winning In other
company. These celebrities will fight
hard to maintain their supremacy and
the consequence will be that Texas Is
liable TO witness the best contested and
fastest races OF the year. The stables
on the new course at Paris are already
filling up preparatory to the opening
contest beginning there October 81. The
Sherman course IS being put In first
class condition since the late rains and
will probably be as fast as any track on
which these horses have ever gone
by the 2Sth of October, when the sport
begins here. At the last meeting Of
our board steps were taken to secure
extra trains and excursion rates from
all contiguous points, and every feat
ure that can add to the comfort Of Wis
itors viii be provided.
Next Thursday, The 9th inst, has
been fixed upon as the time for dedi-
eating our Democratic pole and hoist
ing the flag. Gov. Throckmorton,
Hon. Olin Welborn, Col. Culbertson
and Smith Of Colorado have
been invited and have promised
TO come. From the amount OF interest
already manifested there Is little doubt
but this will be the largest gathering
ever held In the city Of Sherman.
The spirit OF old-time Democracy Is
taking fast hold on our people, and the
encouraging news coming daily from
the great political battle grounds Of
the North has given them hopeful

Gus AS Engineer Kelly and other

was developed, more than that the

was hanged for stealing and abusing
