That's so" said Clinch and Rawlins sim
ultaneously, "and he's worth it"
"Well," continued 2enobia, "the ditch
didn't boom ez soon ez they Ealldlated. And
then the boys kept gettin' poorer and poorer,
and Ned he kept gettin' poorer and poorer in
everything but his hopefulness and grit.
Then he looks around for more capital And
about this time that coyote Harkins smelt
suthin' nice up there, and he gifts Ned to give
him control of it and nell lend him his name

Overcoats Needed at Put-In-Bay-
Harrison the Target of Excur-

Sionists.
PUT-IN-BAY, o., Aug. 27.-lt was so
chilly this afternoon that fires were
lighted in the Borden cottage, and Gen.
Harrison remained indoors reading and
writing. In the evening Gen. Miller,
his law partner, crossed over to Putin
Bay and returned with bulky package
of mail. In it was an addition to his
already large collection of relics. in the
shape of an old Tippecanoe campaign
flag. with picture of William Henry
Harrison in the center, sent by Mr.. Green,
OF the firm Of Green, Joyce d Co., of
New York. 1t has developed that the
reception which the residents of Putin
Bay intended to give the general on
Friday was to be taken advantage of
by the steamboat lines from Detroit,
Cleveland and Toledo to run excursions.
The first inkling of this to the general
was the receipt of dispatches asking
that the reception be set for an hour
which would enable the eXcurSionists to
return in good season. Gen. Harrison
was somewhat chagrined over this
action and expressed himself as unde-
Sirous of being made the target of ex-
cursiOn parties during his brief vacation.
The reception will likely be set
for another day with notice to
the cottagers only. John Brown, Jr.,
son of old John Brown of OSsawottamie,
will do the welcoming honOrs. After
the wind had gone down this evening
General Harrison, accompanied by w.
Keifer, of Springfield o., took night
row on the lake going as far as Wehrles'
club house, about mile and back. The
General rowed in great shape the entire
distance.

BRIGHTON BEACH RACE TRACE, Aug.
27.-A heavy rain storm, which began
falling just before the first trains for the
race track were to leave to-day, de-
tered many who had intended to go to
the races, especially as there was every
indication Of a steady downfall all
the afternoon. A fair-siZed crowd,
however, was present. The track was
wet on top but not heavy. 1t was decided
not to race here on Wednesday next.
The favoriteS were bowled over with
painful frequency, only one catching
the judges eye first at the finish. The
winners were all well backed. however,
selling second choice in four of the five
races run. The Flatbush handicap, in
which PericleS and Ernest sold even
up, was won by the former, Ernest
never being dangerous. In the first
race. Gunshot Immediately ran out and
led the lot up the back stretch.
won without trouble by q length
and half. In the second Savage and
Icicle made the pace until the half-mile
post was reached, when PendenniS and
Sallie Harper challenged, and they had
hot fight home, Pendennis winning by
short head. Count Luno piloted the
lot in the third until the three-quarter
pole, where the favorite (Drumsticl1)
got up. Claypate was then given his
head, and won easily by five lenths. In
the fourth Poet and Charley Russell
set the pace until the turn for
home, where Relax went to
the fore. Relax, Taxgatherer and
Lutte Arnold were but necks apart at
the seventh furlong, and Arnold looked
winner, but he Swerved badly, and
Tax Gatherer came away and won by
four lengths. In the fifth COlumbine
showed the way until the back stretch,
when PericleS, who had been running
second, moved up and took first place.
Pericles, Pilot and BOrdelaine were
Tapped entering the stretch, but PericleS
had the foot of the others, and won by
three lengths.
