would enable start to be made in front of
the grand stand? Wanda, Saturday, was
little off, and yesterday Tyrant was not
himself. In a few DAYS both will be all
right again, and for race like the one sug-
gested all three would undergo special pre-
paration. The event would be one of the
biggest betting affairs of the year, not only
here but in the West and California. With
a good day and track the race itself would
draw an immense attendance.
The Crusade Against Pool-selling and
Book-making.
New YORK, June h.-Book-making in
this city has been stopped by order of the
Chief of Police. The police Captains were
summoned by the Chief yesterday, and in
structed that selling pools must be prohib-
tied in the city, even if an injunction pro
tected Jerome Park from an invasion. As
the Courts hold it essential to conviction
that the police have actually seen the
horses upon which pools were sold run in
races, the Chief of Police has ordered the
officers to attend the races.

a yirginian Lectures on Abraham Lin
coin.
! New YORK, June 17th.-The Suns special
from Richmond says III. H. Smith the
young lawyer chosen to address the schol-
ars of the Richmond public schools, select
ed as his subject Abraham Lincoln, :"
whom he praised and gave credit for many
fine qualities. As Smith is a native young
| Virginian and his auditors were all Vir-
| ginia children, this Grafton elected much
| comment. No Richmond man could have
made that address five years ago without
meeting general condemnation and social
| ostraciSm. In contrast to this state of feel
ing Smith was frequently applauded and
| has been generally complimented 1t is
| the first known instance in the South of
native Southerner delivering an eulogistic
address on any official connected with the
| Federal Government during the civil war
| The Iowa Cyclone-Further Details.
| LEMARs Iowa, June 17th-The effect
of the storm which passed over Plympton
county yesterday are just becoming known.
The killed were VIM. Gobsche and Nicho-
las Mackel. A child belonging to a Hol-
land family, newcomers, of an unpro-
| nounceable name, was killed, another had
its leg broken and nearly every one of
! large family received some kind of injury.
| d. e. Hayes was badly hurt in the head
Adam Goetsche is hurt in the spine and
internally. Mrs. August Muecke had
| leg terribly lacerated, and her daughters
Mary and Lizzie are injured internally,
| and the former has an arm broken The
| mother and aunt of d. E. Hayes had their
collar bones broken. A young man
named Twain, who took refuge from
| the storm IN the house of Mr.
| Cramer, was seriously injured, as
also was Mrs. Cramer Mrs Silas Forbes
was carried off in her house, while the rest
of the family remained safe in the cellar,
where she had been, but remembering her
| sick dog up stairs, she went back after it
and was carried away with the house and
severely hurt; but she saved the dog Mich
olas Goddard had an arm broken and was
otherwise injured. There were many mi
raculous escapes from death and injury.
There was a good deal of stock killed.
Chickens were slain by hundreds, while the
hail beat the growing crops into the ground
in various parts of the country. The injury
to orchards and groves is something the
country cannot recover from in years. Mrs
w. Cans and child, of Marcus, Cherokee
county, were killed and Mr. Cans badly
hurt. In Cherokee county, as in Plymouth,
there were many exaggerated statements of
death and injury, but when hunted down
had no foundation except in the imagina-
ton Of persons frightened by the storm.
The wonder is that there were not more
killed and wounded. Over 600 claims for
damages have already been fled with the
agents in Lemars alone, and it is thought
the number will reach 900 in the country.
1t falls heavily upon several State COM
panies.
