CLEVELAND, July 4.
Between sixteen and seventeen thous-
and people witnessed the contest at the
Cleveland Driving park to-day between
the stallion kings, Phallas and Maxey
Cobb. Sporting men we're present from
all sections of the country. Ten car
loads came from Pittsburgh and seven
teen from Youngstown. The day was
all that could be desired, and the race
was one of the finest sporting events
ever witnessed here. The purse was
$4,000, with $1,000 added by the as
ISOLATION. This represented only a
small portion of the money up, however.
1t was 2 o'clock when the judges, Thos.
Axworthy, William Edwards and David

Cobb came out as fresh as daisy, his
bay coat glistening in the bright sun.

and seemed proud of his beauty. Ed
Bither sat behind Phallas, who champed
his bit as if impatient for the fray. After
warming up, the horses wheeled into
position and came down the stretch. 1t
was no go, however, and it required fou1
starts to send them off. When they did
| go, Cobb had the pole. This did him
no good, for the fleet Phallas was ahead
of him. Away they went like the wind
straining every nerve until the quarter
was reached, when Phallas had increas

said that wise and gracious friend there
remarked to him after church, wish
you had preached that sermon twenty
years ago, instead Of the one / remem-

us we might worship God better perhaps
in the woods and meadows, or IN our own
homes, sometimes, than in the sanctuary.
I remember saying to myself" said the
gracious friend of the preacher, We do
not need such eyhortation. We are
ready enough to stay at home, or wan

no idea how glad we are to hear such
doctrine"
The minister himself confesses, /" had
no idea how easy it was for the men and
women of our free thought and free
ways to drift from the service of the
sanctuary"
He quotes those who say, "There is
no need for me to go into the house of
the Lord | have outgrown all that, and
am now my own temple and my own
priest" He asks, "What do you real
ly do in the woods and on the waters,
and in your homes, and what does it all
come to? The drift of it all is to Stay
faith, and to touch with paralysis the
nerve of any grand endeavor. ]" Few
