At THE RACES.

The races at Carcy's Park yesterday after
noon were very largely attended. by both
those who were financially interested in
the results and all lovers Of fast nags. The
race was haIf.mile dash for 800 4 side.
There were three horses to enter-Cyelone,
Brown Prince and the Hoover horse. The
judges were Tom Jewell, Mr.. McMullen and
a gentleman whose name we failed to learn.
After considerable jockeying. the animals
were started, Brown Ptince in the lead.
the Hoover horse getting a bad start. and
falling slightly behind Cyclone. Betting
was lively. and a large amount OF money
was wagered as to which horse would win.
Cyclone kept the second place until about
half the distance was made, when this fleet
animal got down to business, and the way
it covered the ground was terror to those
who had backed Brown Prince. The race
and stakes were easily won by Cyclone,
Brown Prince second and the Hoover horse
bringing up the rear. There was some lit
tie " kicking" done by those who lost their
money, but on the whole it was one of the
best running races had in Wichita for some
time. One of the most interesting features
of the races was the exhibition pacing done
by l.. c. Woods horse, which is an excel
lent animal, and a graceful and speedy
mover.
A very fine two story frame building has
ust been completed on Emporia avenue,

The Canned Goods Industry.

The Baltimore Trade thinks that scarcity
will prevail during the greater part of the
year before us on most lines ofcanned goods,
and adds
"Those who are able to carry their stocks will
linda fair return for the time they lay in store,
and If business in general RECEIVERS or escapes
from the malaria proceeding from the banks,
very good prices may be realized on the hold
ings. AS it is, the season has been peculiar
one to the packer, the goods in hand having
cost more than they did in previous seasons.
How can that be :" will be asked by all who are
not packers. Cans are lower than last year,
fruit Is not dearer to any degree, sugar is cheap
er, and labor about the same The answer is
important and should be understood by all who
buy and sell.
"Hitherto large amounts of goods ere sold and
bought as futures to be packed, great quantities
were sold as fast as packed and the packer never
calculated on having!to store and carry his pack
All this Is changed at least for this year. The
condition of the market which is compelling
the packers to carry the goods, is not only great
~ restricting the pack, but is blotting or has
sold as fast as put up, the packer could turn his
money from to 9 times, according to the
length of the season, and could afford to sell
them on smaller margin than now, when one
Of that article, and it may be said largely Of the
whole pack"
AS verifying the statement of the Trade
we can say that the packers in Hartford are
closing business for the season. The pack
OF corn will probably be as large as it was
last year, but late season and the protracted
drought have cut the tomato crop short
This, with the largely decreased acreage,
makes it certain that the tomato pack of Har
ford county this year will be no more than one
fourth that of last year. AS soon as dealers
fully realize this fact prices must advance.
1t is the belief of those best informed, too,
that the amount of Tanned goods in the hands
of dealers is small, purchases from first hands
having, during the last year, merely kept
pace with the consumption.
The Baltimore Gamer and Grocer also
says:
1.-THE crop and packing of Hartford will be
about one-th ird of last year and not any more
If anything, 1t will be under that estimate. Last
seasons goods have pretty nearly all gone into
consumption. There are some on hand at diff
erent sections, but not sufficient to have any
decided effect ON the market. This has been
q very conservative year for the packing frater-
nifty, both in city and country"
