by his owners that he can make much better
time than he showed then.
Kinsman surprised the people yesterday.
1t was thought that Lillian would be an
easy winner in the race, but the Pennsyl-
vania boy was too much for her.
The press stand is located in the hottest
place on the ground and the table is in bad
condition. 1t should be repaired and an avn
ing stretched over it.
McClintock acted badly yesterday, going off
his feet every few minutes.
The driver of Lillian was changed in the
second heat, with the hope of bringing her
to the front, but the change made no differ
ence in her speed.
Kinsman has head and shoulders on him,
the counterpart of Barney McGregor.
A runaway horse in the field back OF the

for time, but he was captured by Officer
Budy without doing any damage.
A horse belonging to Q. A. Egbert ran away
and the race that ensded with a mounted
policeman around the main building was one
of the most exciting events of the day.

THEY WILL GO TO LAW.
The Chicago Board of Trade Behind
in Its Rent.
Special to the Glob,

SpcCldl W IllC OlOUC.
CHICAGO, July 2.-The board of direc-
tors of the chamber of commerce held a
meeting yesterday afternoon to take action
upon the refusal of the Chicago board of
trade to pay its rent for the quarter ending
June 80. The trouble grew out of a flaw
in the lease held by the board of trade ON
the old exchange hall in the chamber of
commerce building. After vacating the
hall. the directors of the board were anx-
lous to dispose Of the lease. as they were
bound by it to pay $40, 600 a year rent dur
ing period of ninety-nine years
for property which was Eaof no
value to them. President Wright discov-
cred that according to the wording of the
lease, which was drawn up when the cham
Der of commerce was two-story building,
the board of trade was entitled to all that
portion of the building above the first floor.
On the advice of Judge Sydney Smith,
their attorney, the directors decided in
Marcn last to pay no more rent until all the
property mentioned in the lease was turned
over to them. Leslie Carter, president of
the chamber of commerce, presided at yes
terday's meeting, which was unanimous in
its denuncation of the board of trades
action. The association will commence
suit against the board of trade at once on
the recommendation of Lawyer JeWett.

A Brief sermon on Anger.

FTOm the Baltimore BaptlSt.
A brother got furiously mad with US some
time ago. He stormed like a volcano and his
wrath was at white heat. He fell upon us
and told with vigorous Indignation how bad he
thought we were. We enjoyed it. We al
ways respect an honestly mad man. His
wrath is q token of his sincerity. There was
something so charming in his realness and
candor that we almost forgot that we were
the target at which his blows were directed.
When he finished we simply explained to him
how 1t all haspened. The storm-cIoud broke
and the genial sunlight was on his brow again.
If we must get angry let us do it holly and
courageously; let US blaze like furnace and
go for the object of our anger at once. In
this way we may finish up the business in d
single day and the setting sun will not see the
wrath cloud on our brow.

tended and fully as harmonious as yester-
day. J.J. Hill of the Manitoba railway
| arrived on special train and took a prom-
nent part in the proceeding. In reply to
Yesterdays speech of J. NJ. McGrew, who
held that Typographical survey was I'M
| necessary and that sloughs could be drained
and river channels opened without the aid
of engineers, Mr.. Hill said this was
all nonsense. Nothing could be
done without careful Typographical
survey OF the valley, and if an executive
committee of good earnest men was ap-
| pointed to do this work his company would
| guarantee to pay half of the expense, pro-
| viding it did not exceed $40, 900, and after
| their system was perfected would pay
their share Of the drainage in proportion
| to the acreage of their lands in the valley.

son, ex consul general to India, j. F. Fan
ming, hydraulic er gineer of the Mime
apoliS water power, and other prominent

| of which the following is the substance:
FTst-That it is the sense OF the conven-
ton and citizens of the valley that a thorough
| system of drainage is not only feasible but
| desirable from an economic standpoint
| Second-That as preliminary to the adop-
| ton of such system a careful typographical
survey of the valley is first essential.
| Third-That an executive committee con-
sisting of one delegate from each
