CHICAGO, December 12th.-A New York
special says: The visit to this city last
week of Mrs. Frances Cleveland wife of the
President, has created much small talk in
official and society circles. Hitherto when
ever Mrs. Ciey Gland came to the metropolis
the fact has been annoEnced at least several
days beforehand. On this occasion the
lady came unt1eralded. 1t is stated that
Mrs Cleveland made some rather notable
purchases while here. a clerk in one of
the stores she patronized said "The pa-
pers say she came on to buy Christmas
presents for the President but from what
have heard of the Presidents build | should
think that the purchases would be rather a
tight fit. . Yes, and hardly warm enough
for man with rheumatism, giggled her
companion.

Cleveland must look too cunning for any

lambs wool and long skirted, lace-trimmed
dresses, with cunning bib attachments

weather is fairly good. but little cool. The
ground is soft and travelling he2vy, after
the snow. Birds are scarce The first
series for the all-age stakes commenced
early this morning. Ben Hill and Beau
mont ran a close heat, Ben Hill winning on
nose and judgment. Gladstone's Boy and
Lillian were the next brace. Lillian
won easily, showing the best pace
style and nose. Gladstone's Boy seemed
stale and lazy. Don's Dot (pointer) and
Dora Irish setter were then put
down. Dot won without making
point" because Dora would not back,
and thus secured some dement's. Daisy F.
and Pet Gladstone were the next pair. The
former won, having the best range, judg-
ment and nose. Dan Gladstone and Lady
C. then ran a heat lasting one hour and
thirty-three minutes, Lady G. having, in
the opinion of many, the best of it, but the
heat was given to Dan Gladstone 1t was
good, keen, close race, both showing good
form. The last heat of the day was be-
tween Lufra and Noble c.. and was won by
the latter. Neither made any error, but
Noble c. scored five points 10 four for Lufra.
Both backed and retrieved well. General

New York, December 13th.-The trial OF
Alderman McQuade, charged with receiy-
ing bribe in connection with the passage
of the Broadway Surface Railroad fran
chise, was continued to-day with the hear
ing of the evidence for the defense. w. s.
Williams, President, and Hon. n. A. Mel
son, Vice President of the cable road, testi-
fed that they did not know of any offer
having been made by their company to the
Aldermen. either directly or indirectly, for
the Broadway franchise. The company
was authorized TO issue S15000o0 coo in stock,
and in the latter part of 1884 did issue
81 900 900 or $3,000,000 worth of bonds,
converted them into cash, and deposited it
with the Trust Co ipany. The company
also offered the city 81 100000 for the fran
chise.
A number of witnesses testified that Nc
Quade favored street railroad on Broad
wav before he was chosen Alderman. Ex-
President Andrews of the cable road, said
he knew of no offer of S750.000, or of any
other sum, to the Aldermen for the fran
chise. The bid of S1,000,000 by his COM
pany was intended to cover not only Broad
way, but a total of IS miles of streets.
To account for McQuade being I" flush "
of money, it was shown that he had been
left a legacy Of $50, 600 in 1884. This was
followed by evidence as to the prisoner s
good character.
Testimony was introduced to show that
McQuade had been man of property for
years The Cashier of his bank testified
that McQuade's transactions for several
years had aggregated $4,000 to Sl5000O
per year.

CLEYELANp,s BOOM.
A Coalition Formed to Secure His Nomi-
alton.

NEW YORK, December 13th.-The Times
says: The statement may be made upon
the authority of representative members of
both organizations that the union between
Tammany and the County Democracy,
cemented by the election of Mr.. Hewitt as
Mayor, has been made to involve their
joint support for President Cleyeland's re-
nomination and reelection. While the
contract has not been put in writing, it
has been known for some time that some
arrangement favorable to Cleveland had
been entered into, and the silence of those
who were prominently involved in the
matter is explained by the fact that il was
not deemed wise to provoke criticism by
the premature disclosure of the terms of
the understanding. Whether Tammany is
TO get anything for quietly submitting to
the inevitable, does not appear. When.
where and how the bargain is to be bound
has not been made known. Under the
plan of peace and harmony the County
Democracy will, until after the next Presi-
Dental election at least, refrain from SAYING
anything unkind of Tammany, while the
wigwam will keep quiet regarding the Ad-
ministration at Washington. This deal
blasts the political hopes of Governor Hill
