AS the distance from town to

quite a large gathering of us, as we'll
as others from estates far and near,
on Saturday afternoon last, to wit

as a sort Of sequel to the Long Point

thirds of the former, and the race
was to be decided by going round
twice without intermission, the opini-
on being formed that swat awhile"
possessed more bottom than puck.
That the spectators should have a
good view of the ace the owners
kindly changed the regular starting
point. We therefore formed a curve
at about twenty yards from where
the start was effected.
"Wait awhile, (Red Jacket, IN
like his name, was quite anxious to be
off, willie "Puck" (Blue Jacket qui-
city waited for Instructions, cycling
his adversary calmly the while. At
the word "go" from the starter (Mr.
Kirk) they went fairly together, run
ming apparently lovingly side by side
to a distance of about three hundred
yards, when naughty little "Puck"
objected to such close, companionship,
and suddenly we saw 'blue jacket
ahead.
For some seconds, which seemed
minutes, so intense was the excite
ment, they were lost TO sight, and
then we were all eyes looking for them.
On, on they come, "blue jacket" still
ahead. while "red" is but a few
lengths behind, beha wing splendidly.
AS they neared the curve "Wait a.
while" made the bend in beautiful
style, which brought him close upon
"Puck's" heels, and as they dashed
along no %perceptible change was OBJ
servedinthe distance between themun-
til they reached the first corner from
home, when "Puck" maintained his
former position, gradually making it
~Iengtkier, leading his adversary home
becomingly, greeted by the hurrahs
of hundreds of voices.
I am sure it is generally admitted
to have been a we'll contested race,
evident pleasure and satisfaction be-
ing imprinted on every countenance-
quite the reverse at Long Portland
"Puck' was followed home by an
admiring crowd of that class of peo.
pie whose appreciation Of the little
fellow caused many spontaneous out
bun SITS of joy from them, which was
rather amusing. The Jockeys rode
superbIy, and although "Wait awhile
lost, he nevertheless ran well. Though
this race has been, as already said,
a sequel to the Long Point Races, let
us hope it will also serve as an intro
duction to others, and if "Bonaparte"
or Bismarck" and "Puck" should
come together it will give me great
pleasure to report same to you, in the
event of the absence of "Observer."

Omcer-The Strike Stronger
Than Ever.

ST. LOUIS, March IA Sedalia special TO
to the Post-Dispstch says: "The situation
remaines materially unchanged. Superin-
tendent Hager requested the Mayor this
morning to swear in the Pinkerton detec-
tives, but the Mayor refused on the ground
that the law required one years residence
before q man could act as an officer. The
Superintendent sent for the Executive Com.
mittee of the strikers this morning, and
asked if they had not violated the contract
made last night to allow freight trains to
run. They replied they had not, as tha
promise was made with the understanding
that freights were to be run II men could e
found to run them. Three attempts were
made last night to take out trains, and
several this morning, all Of which failed on
account OF the men employed leaving the
trains. The committee of citizens and
strikers who went 10 Jefferson City have not
yet returned.
KANSAS CRY, Mo-, March 1I.-At Kansas
City and Se6alia, Mo-, there is little change
in the situation. II anything. the strike Is
stronger than yesterday. No freight trains
we're moved to-day. No violence was used
to prevent it, but when an engineer would
step on the locomotive party OF strikers
rsques,ed the eDgir eer TO take the engine
back to the round house, which he did. This
was tried several times with different men
with the same result. The railroad CON-
pany, through Superintendent Hager, noti-
fed the city authorities that If any damage
was done to the company's property the city
would be held responsible. The committee

tsins that the law must be enforced If no
violeDc is used by the strikers ne does not
intend to interfere with the militia. This
evening the militia were still at Centertown
awaiting orders.
Parsons, Kss., March Il.-Another quiet
day among the Missouri Pacific strikers
They are still masters of the situation. Ad-
iutant General Campbell, sent here by Gov
err or Martin to investigate matters, arrived
here today aud had a conference with the
Mayor and the authorities, and the EKecu-
tive Committee of the strikers. After thor
ough investigation he concluded there WAS
no need Of troops as the company's property
was not endangered. He returned TO Topeka
th s afternoon on a special engine.
KANSAS CITY, March l1.-All the Wabash
trains and the Missouri Pacific passenger
trains from this point are now running as
usual. The only work permitted in the
Missouri Pacific yards is the switching Of
few freight cars that the strikers are allow
ing to be moved to accommodate shippers.
An agent of q connecting line stated TO
Times reporter this evening that he wal in
formed to-day, By a representative of the
Missouri Pacific that the freight blockade of
that road would be removed tom 9rrow.
This report, II autheEtic. is understood TO
mean that the railroad off cials expect either
to effect a compromise tomorrow, or force
an issue and undertake TO operate the freight
trains despite the opposition of the strikers.
A small reserve police force was kept on
duty to day, but there has been no occasion
for their service or that of local military
company of forty men, also held in readiness
in case of an emergency. It is reported the
Missouri Pacific pay car will arrive here to-
morrow, though not yet due for three days.

of the Missouri Pacific. The strikers pre-.
sented their grievances, and after discussion
of the matter, at the suggestion of the Gov
tTnor. the Commissioners consented,
il both sides were willing to
act as arbitl ators. There was
no pretense that the Commissioners had any
authority TO arbitrste, bat they consented to
act in hopes the difficulty might be settled
amicably. After the conference adjourned
they communicated 70 the strikers the propo-
sition Of the Governor.
The meeting was largely attended and
lasted two hours. They then adjourned, drst
having sauthorizsd the committee to give
their ultimatum which is said will be de-
msnd first for the restoration of the October
rates, and ther the arbitration decision of
arpitors to be ogreeabls to both sides. This
evening the committee was in session with
