Tan FarmegvilIa Gnsetts III speak.
ing Of tao Immigration Convention
held II Shreveport says sThe Con
yenfion has done an in lis power to
promote immigration and advance the
prosperity and welfare Of Louisiana.
The plans adopted are wise. sound and
practical. Nor il only remains for.
the police jnries, corporations, boards
o trade and private individuals to de-
thair duty, By coming Up literally
with financial assistance, IN order to
make our State one Of the most pop
Nous and prosperous in the land
We agrae with our brother and
think IL eminentIy wia1 that liberal
support be given. We also think the
wise way 10 do this is for each parish,
town and corporation to make liberal
appropriations for advertising, maps,
descriptive circulars, etc., ETC., within
their bounls.
All this mist be supported by a
progressive spirit Of our people, They
must 60 ahead stand still IS evil
dence that re have no confidence in
what we preach.
Let business communities assemble
together and decide wha, Is necessary
10 build up our vacant places and go
ahead and do it. fad is needed ap-
peal 70 the proper authorities for the
required help showing them the adj
yantages that win result from the as
slstance asked for. Give them assur-
ance that il will be expended wisely
and in the manner presented in the
petition.
With concert Of action Of this kind
all along the line will, IN orr opinion,
result in q boom for Louisiana within
the next two years, that has an equal
only in some of the most prosperous
Western States, in days that are past.
Let the people Of every parish in
Louisiana make d determined effort,
and If they fail, then they may pro-
claim from the hill tops that our adj
vice was mot Ronnd--but not till then.

Nh. G. b. LEWIS, editor of the ST.
Paul, tNeb. J Photograph, who paid
Lake Charles and Southwest Louisi-
ana visit about two months ago, has
severed bis connection with that paper
to come South. In his Yaledietory he
says: SIT is with a feeling of regret
that we relinquish the editorial chair
of the Phoaograph to seek health and
strength in the balmy breeze of the
Sunny South. ?" In the issue of the
Phonograph, Of March %, We find the
following editorial;
''The people Of many of our South
ern States, notably Louisiana, are
making praiseworthy efforts to induce
immigration. They can offer almost
every material condition except free
schools or political tolerance. The
immigrant who is worth having, de-
sires free schools for his children, r
free speech and free ballot for him
sclf. This Louisiana aud the Southern
tier have not yet comprebended, but
have sought to establish a governing
class" condition uningiting to the
very best sort Of immigration"
Bro. Lewis couldn't stand the temp
tatiop. We suppose be has made up
his mind TO come down aud join the
tgoVerning class" The Echo receiv-
lea very pleasant call from Bro.
Lewis when he was here and we made
mp onr mind that he was the right
kind of an immigrant. We heartily
welcome him to Southwest Louisiana,
and hope the "balmy breeze" may re-
store to him his health and strength.

1t Was a Field Day and the Small
Fry Won.

Yesterday was the l~iveliest of the meet
ing SO far. In the quarter stretch the
Laramie contingent occupied considerable
space and the Colorado and local sports
learned early in the afternoon that the
~plungers from over the mill were on hand
tor business as well as pleasure. The
features of the day were the annual
hurdle race, the great mile dash and a
magnificent t%rottipg exhibition by Mr..
Beckwith's $1,000 beauty, the three
year-old flly Wanita. TIE 2:4O trot,
with five entries, was settled in three
straight heats.
2:40 TRoT.
First heat-John Chases Jim Page
was given the pole, Dutt' Grover G. see
ond place, A. w. Martins gray mare
BERTHE NJ. third, Minnie's Almont fourth
and Bunyon, who started under protest,
the outside. Page led at the turn, but
soon left his feet and dropped back. At
the quarter Bunyon led with Page a good
second, Grover c at his wheel, BERTHE NJ
close behind and travelling steadily and
Minnie's Almont a fretfrl tailender.
Page and Minnie Almont we're neck and
neck at the half and all were punched at
the end of the down stretch. The quin-
tette were whipped up when the last urn
was made and all spurted very nicely.
The pace was too hot for Grover and he

Berthe NJ steadily pulled away from her
competitors and finished the mile beauti-
fully III 2:45, winning by a length. Min
MES Almont second, Bunyon third, Jim
Page fourth and Grover c fifth.
Second hedt-They were off in a bunch
and it promised to be a close aud pretty
heat until Bunyon commenced to u n
Almont was alter BERTHE scalp and when
the gray mare broke at the quarter
passed her securing a daylight lead. At
the half Berthe had headed Mlnnie's Al
mont and kept the lead to the finish,
making the mile in 2:37, quite an i'm
provement over the time for the first
heat. BunYon had passed Almont on
the home stretch and was second. Gro
yer z and Jim Page lost ground steadily
from the half and were distanced. much
to the disgust of their respective admirers.
Pages driver claimed a foul, but the
judges told him hat they had been I'M
able to see anything wrong.
Third heat This dash was between
BERTHE NJ. and Grover G. fom the go.
The mare was slow to start and Bunyon
led her at the turn. At the quarter both
were galloping furiously and it looked like
a new sort of novelty race, They broke
again when passing the distance pole, but
trotted the last halt fairly and at a pretty
good clip. Berthe was a length in the
lead up the home stretch and won in 2:35,
two seconds faster han the second heat,
evidencing that she is a pretty rapid forty
animal. Minnie's Almont was a poor third.
This gave the gray mare the race and
Grover G. second money.

The daily increase in attendance is very
encouraging.

SUMMARY.
THE MILE DASH.

There was more than $4,000 in the auc
ton pool box yesterday when Judge Hall
called for the running horses. Several
hundred Paris mutual tickets had been IS
sued and every other man one met in the
quarter stretch was a stake holder. Pool
buying wasn't fast enough for some of
the sports and they held alott rolls of bills
and shouted their propositions. The
Laramie crowd was almost a unit for
Mr.. Fishers bay horse with the good old
aristocratic title of Marquis de PRO.
Denver sports were divided on Bissell's
Countess and Coombs' Mart Waldren,
with the former their f%avorite. McKin-
ley's beautiful chestnut, Kismet. had
many admirers, and several of these made
lucky hits. The Marquis and Countess
alternated as favorites in the pools, with
Waldren and Kismet the short ones.
They scored but once and were of like
lightning messengers. For the eighth
they were pretty close together, but at
the quarter they were in a string with
Waldren, travelling beautifully, Kismet
moving steadily, Countess taking the
whip and the great %favorite a dead
cock in the pit" in the order named.
Marquis and Countess kept falling back,
or rather kismet aud Waldren moved
ahead and the race from the third turn
was between those two. On and on they
went at terrific speed and seemingly with
out exertion. kismet was steady as a draft
horse and Waldren only moved the faster
