A STIRRING ADDRESS.
Advice to HOrsemen Who Will Figure
ON the Butte Track.

The followingaddress has just been issued
by the West Side Fair and Racing Asso-
citation:
To owners, trainers, drivers and jockeys now on
the grounds of the West Side Fair and Racing
Association.
Conference.-The West Side Fair and
Racing Association is about to inaugurate
it's first annual meeting. The Association
has expended the sum of $50, 900 to erect
suitable buildings and furnish the appur-
tenances necessary for first.class race
cou,se. This large expenditure OF money
has been made by few Of the enterprising
and public spirited citizens OF Butte and
vicinity. The objects OF this expenditure
are to encourage and develop the stock in
terest ;of this and adjoining Territories,
and to provide suitable grounds and con-
yeniences for honest and legitimate sport.
and thereby to attract visitors from
abroad, that our community may be Den-
Gifted.
As owners, trainers and lockeys, now
ever, you nare directly benefited by this
large outlay Of money. Upon you in a
very large degree depends the success or
failure of this, our first gathering, and
hence it is that we make this address to
YOU, and ask that in consideration OF what
we have done that you, in turn, will DO
whatever in your power lies to make tho
first annual meeting OF our Association

ways. First, by running and trotting each
and every race solely upon its merits:
Secondly, by avoiding every species OF
jockeying and foul riding and driving.
Thirdly, by being promptly on time
when races are called, to the end that the
patience of both judges and spectators
NAV not be worn out by unnecessary de-
lays.
uuiesence in every reasonable demand made
by the management.
Fifth, by strict obedience to the orders
of starters and judges.
sixth. by the avoidance Of all loud and
unnecessary talk or profane language upon
the track during racing. -,
By observing these requests you VIII
greatly simplify the labora and duties OF
the management, besides doing great deal
towards furthering the racing interests gen
erally. Very respectfully,
w. A. CLARK, President,
GEO, w. IRWIN, Vice President.
Lee MANTLE, Sec'y and Treasurer.

Carriean Consolidated Company. The

the tax is paid. The Car Company Off

liabilities in the way OF damages. tenn
porary restraining order was issued late
this afternoon, by Judge Slower, enioining
the authorities from interfering with the
street car travel. The order is made re-
turnable on the sixteenth instant. The

The whirlpool Rapids at Niagara Again
Successfully Passed.

BUFFALO, N. y, August 8.-The turbu.
lent waters OF the Niagara whirlpool rapids
were again navigated in a casket to-day.
the perilous feat being successfully accom-
plished by two men. The daring voyagers
were William Potts and George Hazlitt,
two coopers, who were employed in the
same shop with Graham who made the
initial trip about three weeks ago. The
barrel boat was ten feet long, conical in
form and built of the best locust stayts,
1t was supplied with keel, rudder, screw
wheel and turret, with glass covered peep
holes. About 800 pounds OF sand ballast
kept it right side up most OF the time. The
two men lay back while passing through
the more turbulent water, clinging to
handles made fast to the sides. Each
man likewise kept on his own
side by means OF a canvas sling made fast
to the slaves. The start was made from
the "Maid of the MIST landing on the
Canada side at 4:25 p. III. A row boat
towed the cask to a point just above the
Centilever bridge. where it was turned
adrift in the middle OF the stream. The
craft WAS submerged about half the time
while passing through the rapids, but while
circumscribing the outer circles OF the
whirlpool it's occupants thrust their heads
through the opening and Potts calmly
smoked cigar. A successful landing was
made at Queenstown, on the Canada side,
five miles from the starting place The voy-
age occupied fiity-minutes. The feat was
witnessed by no less than l, 900 spectators.

The Liberal Federation Address.

LONDON, August 8.-The National Lib
eral Federation, an outgrnwth OF Cham
berlain's caucus, has issued a manifesto
say ing: "Although the result OF elections
has not realized our hopes, the situation is
encouraging. The supporters OF halfmeas.
ures are the smallest group In Parliament.
Mr.. Gladstone has secured the support OF
a vast majority of Liberals and Liberal
organizations. As far as the Federation is
concerned the results OF the appeal to the
country completely justify the course
taken by it's Counsel. Greatly as we
regret our losses, the manner in which
the Liberals responded to Mr.. Gladstone's
appeal, proves that the Federation repre-
sents union of the Liberal party. That
party being committed to effecting union
between England and Ireland, will never
abandon that object until the goal ia
reached. No progress is possible in Liberal
work until that has been settled. The
Conservatives will not be able to indulge in
congenial inactivity. It is the imperative
duty OF the Liberals to obtain at the
earliest moment an explicit statement OF
the Tory policy in regard to Ireland. The
Gladstone policy still lives and it's ultimate
triumph is assured.

The Crop Condition.

CHICAGO, August S.-The following crop
summary will appear in this weeks Farm
er's Review: The rains have improved the
prospects for corn in portions OF Mime.
sofa, Iowa, Illinois, Ohio and Kansas.
while IN Indiana the tenor OF the reports
indicate an average yield. A very large
section in all the remaiaing corn.growing
States have, as yet, had no relief from the
drouth, and reports are now coming in
which would indicate failure OF the crop
in wide areas. The reports from Putnam
county, in Illinois, state that much of the
corn is fired in the ear and some to tassel.
The entire crop threatens to be a failure.
In Minnesota corn has attained the growth
Of six to eight feet. The present outlook is
for nearly full average crop. In Ohm
stead and Blue Earth counties the outlook
is very good. Throughout Missouri the
prospect is not good for more than one
half or three-fourths of an average yield.
In Minnesota the yield OF wheat is re-
ported from ten to fifteen bushels. In Ne
braska the yield ranges from six to fifteen
bushels. Complaints are general from
Iowa. Missouri, Indiana, Wisconsin and
Illinois OF pastures drying up and failing.
