This completed the horse racing for the day
but couple of pedestrians concluded to try
their speed Oh distance Of hundred yards
A man whose name is said to be Charlie
Jones and Comanche Bill, the colored gentle
man of local fame were the contestants
They were placed on the starting line and
sent off With the tap of the drum. II took
some time to get the colored lads nerves
steady enough to allow him to await the sig
nal, but finally both were off in good shape.
Bill at the end of the first fifty yards was
near three feet ahead, but he fell equally that
much behind before the finish. This seemed
to serve as quite surprise to him as he has
contracted habit of beating every one he
has been pitted against. There was $500 up
on the race between two parties and NUM-
ber of other bets
When Bill had taken little
rest on the subject he was
matched against Jim Kelly who served him
the same way. Kelly was few feet behind
near the middle of the race but in couple
of bounds took his position about two feet in
front of Bill and held it.
This completed the races and as the clouds
were at that time looking favorable for a
rain the people wasted no time in making
their way home.
Noone OF the exhibits We're removed yester-
day but to-day will be the general brake-up
camp day.

At the beginning of the first heat Light

first quarter began to fail and she gave way to
Standard Bearer at the end of the first half
He held the pole until the beginning of the
last quarter when he was passed by Marquis,
who won the heat by a nose. This is pro-
nounced by all to be one of the best heats
that had ever been made during the fair
Standard Bearer took second place, Light
bird third and Slade fourth.
The second heat was won by Standard
Bearer with hands down. He took the lead
from tine beginning which seemed to rattle
all the others. They practiced on number
of gaits and Marquis took second place,
Slade third and Lightbird fourth. The race
between the last two was close.
The third heat was extremely close be-
tween Standard Bearer and Lightbird. The
time was 2:3i IA, which was the
best made in the race. Standard Bearer WI n
by half neck The association had offeIed
$50 to the horse that would make 2:33 or
better This heat being the best made gave
the money to him.
The fourth heat was close between Light
bird and Standardbearer, but it was given
to the former The latter claimed foul
near the beginning of the second half and the
former retorted with.ciaims to foul at the
same point Slade took third, however, and
Marquis fourth.
The fifth heat there was collision between
Standardbearer and Marquis which resulted
in damaging the sulkies, bat no one was
hurt. Each driver claimed is was the fault
of the other Lightbird won the heat with
Standardbearer a vigorous competitor.
The sixth heat was won by Marquis with
Lightbird near neck behind.
The seventh heat was very exciting. The
race it was thought, would be decided by 1t

MARQUIS. The latter had the pole which 1t
was thought by some would give him the
race. The friends of Lightbird were back

second quorter Marquis held the first place
with Lightbird near length behind At
this point the latter left his feet and winning
the pole kept it to the finish.

The third race called was the free for all
running race for two best out Of three III
mile heats Breschford entered Archie H.,
Wade Hampton, Shamrock and P. W. Care
ton, Rex Stratton.
Perhaps on no race of the day were there
as much betting as on this. The favorite
seemed to be Archie H. Her friends offered
to bet $500 that she would win the race.
They were taken up by the friends OF Sham
rock, but at that moment they weakened and
that bet failed to materialize. They put up
several, but none of so much money. The
association offered $40 to the horse making
the second best time It was the intention
to make race of it and the scheme succeed
ed. At tine beginning Of the first heat STRAIT
ton took back seat, which he continued to
fill until near the end Of first half
when he passed shamrock. He continued to
gain on Archie H until the beginning of the
third quarter when he passed him and held
his place to the finish.
In the second heat Stratton soon took the
lead and Shamrock for the first half held
third place He then moved up to second
and at the end was only a neck behind STRAIT
ton.
The third heat found Stratton in the lead
from the beginning with Archie H second
and Shamrock in the stable.

BORE BIGGER WELLS.

The many wells which have been
sunk in this valley during the past two
or three years, have demonstrated be
yond doubt the possibility of obtain
ing ariesian water at any point in GER
tam well-defined and large area of terri
ury. The borers have so far been I'M
successful on the uplands, due in all
probability to inadequate machinery, as
the sub-surface streams must neces-
sarily flow beyond the bottom lands
where wells have been sunk. 1t hav-
ing been shown thatit is no trick to OBJ
tain flowing wells, an effort should be
made to bring larger streams to the
surface. Hitherto, with few exceptions,
the pipes sunk have been small, and II
they flow full the streams are insignif-
cant and really of very little use. Why
could not a six-inch flow be had as well
as one Of an inch and-a-half? A six
inch stream would i=rigate 4 farm OF
considerable proportions, while the lit
tie streams running through the small |
pipes are insufficient for truck patch;
they are, in fact, toys rather than the
useful institutions they might be. A
dozen or two flowing wells of the capa-
city that might be had. scattered over
the valley would have a material bene-
fit 70. the country. There is no good
reason why all the bottom lands be-
tween the point of the mountain south,
and the sand ridge on the north should
not be irrigated from artesian wells,
leaving the mountain str ans TO be car
ried to the benches which are now bar
rem wastes.

NOT NECESSARILY TRAITORS.

Often in the estimation of those man
aging the affairs of government in a
nation, the only good citizen in the
country is be. who approves of all that
is done by authority. and who never
lifts his voice in oppos. ton TO their
schemes. ANY man who would tell the
people that they are vronged. that Ger
tain laws are infamous. contrary to jus
tice and destructive of the fundamental
principles of human liberty. upon which
all good systems Of government are
based. is very likely to be considered q

ton" and it will be more than passing
strange If he escape being dubbed
traitor. though he may be actuated only
by the purest patriotism. II he
should tell the judge that he
is harsh in his administrations
of the law, that the law it
self is infamous in its cruelty, but to go
outside Of the law. or to give it strained
constructions in order to increase the

of popular hate is damnable, the whips
of those in power may be depended

a BAD RULE.

The political situation of Bayaris lust
now brings into prominence some OF
the disadvantages of hereditary success
sion Of rulers. King Ludwig was de-
posed from the management OF his
kingdom because his insanity rendered
him unfit to govern, and he subse
quently committed suicide. Then the
crown went TO his younger brother
Otto, who is also insane, but who never
theless was duly installed as king with
all the pomp and circumstance of roy
atty. both the people and the army
swearing allegiance to him. But as this
new monarch is mentally unfit for
the management Of government
affairs. the Regency OF Prince Luitpold,
uncle to those insane Kings. will con-
tinue. Such circumstances as these oc-
curing in connection with the fact
that not unf requently an lass instead
OF a lion" succeeds to the throne. will
go far towards convincing the people OF
Europe that hereditary succession of
rulers is an outrage on humanity no
longer to be tolerated.
The ancient claim about the 4anctity
of kings has fallen into disuse of late.
Indeed it is rather difficult to learn lust
how the idea OF their holiness came
about since We remember to have seen
nothing in the.Bible upon which to base
such claims; but rather. on the con-
trary. Jehovah was, apparently, dis
pleased with the Israelites when they
insisted upon having king,
and their wishes were granted
under remonstrance- But
the sanctity OF the king is no longe,
claimed with any degree of tenaciiy.
and the kings Of the nations have but
little to do with managing the affairs Of
state. They are little more than mere
fgureheads.
Some years ago, Giobon. the historian
OF Rome, said: tine generality of
princes, If stripped of their purple lem
blem of royalty and cast naked into
the world, would Immediately sink to
the lowest rank of society without a |
hope Of emerging from their obscurity. y |
Gibbon is right, and the world is ind |
ing it out; and sooner or later all ma
tons of people will demand the right to |
elect their own rnlers.
