Attendance.

WACO, Tx. Nov. l0.-The fan meet
/ ing at the Waco driving park opened
/ to-day. In connection with the races the
management also offered liberal picmi-
ums on displays Of live stock and poultry,
Z thus making the occasion 20 some extent
I akin 90 "a country fair, whore the stock
show Is one OF the features. The weather
was everything that could be desired Tor
an opening day-hright, dry and pleasant.
The course was In superb condition. Up
90 noon the attendance was very small.
There were plenty Of visitor, IN the city,
but they were IN town aud did not seek
the driving park. In the afternoon, how
ever, the crowd grew larger, and by . p.
m. was large enough TO be satisfactory to
the management.
The exhibits of sheep, swine and poul-
try will not be filed until tomorrow. In
the way OF cattle there are several ilne
lots Of Jerseys, Durhams and Holsteins,
with here and there specimen Of the
Texas long horn Hancock & Harper OF
this county show a Tennessee jack that is
much admired, tour-ycar.old. They also
enter mule colt, only one year old and
fifteen and one-fuurth hands high, that is
was led in front of the grand stand ut
noon and carefully inspected by the
Judges. The awards on tO-day's exhibit
have not been announced yet.
Going to the stables it's plain to see
that The line OF horses is at ouCe the larg
est and best we have ever had here.
Many OF these are fine animals that have
made splendid records aud won numerous
victories on the turf all the way from Chi
cago to Texas. The crowd of sporting
men is also very large, and the gam
bling fraternity is unusually well repre-
scented. There seems to be an under
standing that gambling will not be inter
irrrcd with by the local authOrities-at
least mot to hurt.n Tho races did not
open until 2:30 p. m At that hour the
grand stand contained a very fair audi
encc, and braes-band and the changer OF
the booksellers yoicesa combined TO make
noise, if not sweet harmony. The
Judges were Maj. Wiley Jones, Capt. NJ

waiting to repair the break in the walls
of the Hot Springs creek, three now
and bold hot springs have been struck in
the bed of the creek, and Just outside the
wall, This partially explains the reason
the walls gave way. The contractor in
the original work did not sink the founda-
ton OF the wall to bed rock at that point
nor endeavor to save the springs. The
superintendent then in charge did not
require him to protect these springs, and
they were covered. But these waters as
the gift of God to afflicted humanity will
out, regardless of stone walls or the
frauds OF government contractors. Their
scalding waters forcing their way con
stantly through the stone and cement
caused the wall to give way. Superin-
tendent Field will have these springs
properly fixed up and saved.

WHAT A WHOPPER

Arkansas River.


Arkansas River.
Special to the Gazette.
Fort SMITH, ARK, Nov. l0.-Seyeral
weeks ago the lee joints OF some huge an
imal of the antc-deluyian period were
found in the Arkansas river bed about
five miles above here. The Joints were
over six inches in diameter and three
feet long, which would indicate the leg
to have been six feet long. Near the same
place yesterday the upper jaw and por-
ton of the head of the mastodon was
found embedded IN the sand.
There are seven huge teeth on one
side and four on the other, in a perfect
state of preservation. The molars are
about four and one-halt inches square .
The neck joint Is similar TO that of an
OK. All the top part of the head is miss
ing, but the cavity where the brain laid is
perfect and indicates that the monster
must have possessed more than a half
bushcl of brains. The roof
of the mouth between the molars
is also perfect, and it is about
one foot across and very large. Two
huge tusks, now broken off, apparently
projected out along side the nOstrils that
were about five inches in diameter at the
base. Not more than half the head has
been preserved, and yet 1t weighs about
two hundred pounds 1t is pctritied, and
resembles sandstone, with the exception
OF the teeth and that portion of the tusk
