AT THE FAIR GROUNDS.
How the Afternoon Was Spent BY the
Drummer Lads,

At 80 carriages sufficient to convey $50
of the drummers and their wives to the fair
grounds pulled up in front of the board
of trade rooms and they were
qnckly filled by those waiting to make the
trip. Headed by the Omaha Guards band
drive was taken down Harney street to
Eleventh, north on Eleventh to Farnam,
west on E'arnam to Sixteenth and
thence direct to the fair grounds
Mr.. Mumaugh of the fair grounds commit
tee, received the delegation at the gate and
they were driven at once to their headquar-
ters where they were well cared for. A stand
had been erected which had a seating capac-
ity of about 200. This was located just west
of the amphitheater. During the entire af-
ternoon it was ill ed with the knights of the
grip, their wives and lady friends. The
visitors were served with Caifor-
MIA and domestic grapes, pears,
peaches, bananas, cigars and lemonade.
The refreshments were procured by Mr.. Hell
frey and were the very generous gift of a
number of the leading houses of the city.
AT the conclusion of the race programme the
boys returned to the city to prepare for the
evening reception.

MARTIAL AIRS.
Those Which Were Played by the
RaDds in Line

The parade, grand as it was, would have
lacked feature of interest had not it been
supplied as it was with goodly number of
bands. In supplying, not alone the resources
Of the city were exhausted, but those also of
the neighboring towns. A finer collection
of bands never appeared on the streets Of
this city. They all played excel
lently and the uniforms were in the
main, fresh and brilliant. The band in the
lead was that of the Omaha Guards, ,discours-
ing excellent music. The next was the vet
eran organization, the Union Pacific. Then
came the A. o. Fl. band in it's new blue and
bullion uniform and floating plumes of green
Then came the band of Wayne which was
brought here for the purpose Dolbys band
of Council Bluffs followed. The Missouri Val
ley band, with red coats like English soldiers
preceded South Omaha, and the Peoples
theatre band led the last division of the
parade.

Tights Are So Comfortable.

New York Telegram: "These are
the very latest, said a demure little
girl in Fourteenth street dry goods
store yesterday. #
The three would-be purchasers raised
their hands in astonishment.
"Yes, Madam, continued the girl,
''they are becoming very popular; you
would be surprised at the number of
professional women who are wear
ing tights just now.'
But my husband is a respectable
business man. What would he say to
them?"
Il really don't know, madam; but
you will find silk tights the incest
thing to wear this winter"
The lady bought IA pair Just to try"
and one of her companions did likewise.
When the customers had taken their
departure reporter accosted the shop
girl:
do any so-called fashionable women
really wear tights?" he asked, with an
unbusinesslike blush, which the glrl re-
ciprocated.
Indeed they do. Lots of women like
them, because of the novelty and be-
cause they think it Is n little bit racy
to wear them. Others who are going
into the new, bustle-bereft style OF
clothing at full tilt, wear tights so that
they can show OFF their shapes more
completely than in the old style Of
underwear"
"You don't say so!'' gasped the as
founded reporter.
Don't |, though? Why, l have pair
on myself this moment!"

THE CoURIERs MARsHALLED.
How These Men of Peace Marched
Like Those of War.

AS early as s o'clock the boys began to as
semble in the board of trade rooms in their
novel uniforms, light flannel shirts, silk
hats, with red satin badges corded with gold
fringe. On each of the latter were the
words Commercial Men. Omaha, Sept. 8.
1885," A Japanese parasoi and fan completed
the prescribed uniform.
1t was tasty and attractive and in the
language Of scores of ladies along the streets,
"the travelling men looked perfectly hand
some"
At 10 o'clock they began forming in line
with the boys six feet tall and over in the
lead.
The handsome blue silk banner was car
ried at the head Of the procession by Manley
Rayley, the tallest travelling man in the state,
with George Swigart and Mr.. Smidt as his
aids.
The banner was hand painted satin, and
bore the motto, always to the Front" The
picture on it was that of a country town with
q box car station and one general store. A
drummer has just landed from freight
train and is on his way to the latter with his
grips in hand
when the banner was displayed in the
board of trade rooms, the boys gave three
cheers for the banner, and another round for
the committee.
At 1O;@5 the men were in line, and the mar
shal and his aids. John Brady, Charles "A.
Coe Robert Easson. and G. w. Wilcox, took
their positions at the head Of the line, ready
for the march.
AT 1926 the order OF FORWARD march,
came alone the line, and the column, headed
by platoon of policemen and the Omaha
Guards band, turned into Harney street, and
the procession was moving.
The boys marched four abreast with their
Japanese parasols hoisted, and to say that
the 500 men thus uniformed and in good
marching step made fine appearance as
they passed east on Harney street, but
feebly expresses the style, bearing, majesty,
gentlemanly and imposing appearance made
by these courlers of commerce.
Immediately behind the footmen was a
carriage, on which was hung blanket bear
ing the words DISABLED in the Cause" In
this was Daddy Erskine, A. ID. Chase,
J. F.. Garrett and w. H. Horn. They are
veterans on the road who have suffered some
physical disability and were not able to
march in the line. The procession was con-
Quoted in perfect order over the prescribed
route and when the advance line reached the
board of trade the boys fell back in double
line on each side of the street and reviewed
the trades display
After the review the line was reformed
and the men marched to the court house
grounds where photograph Of them was
taken.
They then broke ranks to take lunch, after
which they met at the board of trade rooms,
ana went in body to the fair grounds.

"A Fitting Close OF the Festivities OF
the Day.

the Day.
The last meeting of the day was at the
board of trade rooms, where the boys were
at home to their many friends, No pains had
been spared in the decorations of the room
for the reception. Immediately behind the
presidents desk was planted the elegant
banner of the day with it's motto,
always to the Front" in full view.
The large windows in the south
part of the room were gracefully festooned
with national flags. Yards of bunting of
national colors extended from the four cor
ners of the room to the chandelier in the
center. Over the large oak clock and mantle
was draped a flag, while about the wainscot-
ing of the room and visitors gallery were
festoons of bunting and flags. An orchestra
OF thirteen pieces from the Omaha guards
band occupied the gallery and furnished the
instrumental music for the evening.
The reception committee, John Brady, w.
=. Vineyard, Robert Easson and Charles A.
Coe were at the room early to receive their
guests.
At $3.50 the hall was filed with ladies and
gentlemen. Mr. Lanuis, president of the IT,

Base Ball News.

The men who do the base ball reporting
in the South, as general thing do it well.
There is always a curiosity to know who
writes up the base ball column. Here are a
few of the men who do it: "The New
Orleans Picdyune'S bright column is edited
by H. j. Seiferth. John NJ Foster makes
the Item an interesting sporting journal.
w. j. McCune is working up the Chronicle
and George w. Van Devort has the Times
Democrat, often assisted by Lee Waters.
In Charleston, Stanhope Sans, of the Sun,
is the Sporting Life correspondent.
Robert M. Solomons and John A. Moroso
divide the Ne,0S and Courier work between
them, and John Moran, the official scorer
of the Charleston club, contributes oc-
casional letters to the Budget.
In Birmingham William Ewing is recog
nized as the brightest base ball writer
there. He is better known as Blue Wing,
and his articles in the Nashville Union
were widely quoted during that papers ex-
istence. He is now on the Birmingham
Herald. Walter Hawley does what little
the Age prints about the game. At Mem
phis H. P. Ricketts, on the AUdldnche, N.
Picard on the Scinetar and George Bird on
the Ledger, are the sporting oracles. Moses
Sartorious (Trazom) is one of the best cor
respondents who date their letters from the
Bluff City. He is the Sporting NeiOs' rep
resentative there. In Atlanta Bruffey does
the readers of the Constitution with ball
news. J. K. Oil, on the same paper, often

THE OLD JA1L's CORNERSTONE.
How the Copper Box Was Sealed Up
and Record of It's Contents.

ana q RECORD OF lCS COnConCS.
Thus far the cornerstone of the old Jail
building has not been discovered, or if it
has, the box containing the archives has not
vet been found. There is a good deal of
oniecture as to where this box was placed:
whether under corner of the JailOr's resi-
dence, or under the jail proper. 1t may be
that the stone has been eXcavated and
thrown aside, as it is not generally known
that 1t was placed in a stone and stone top
fitted in the cavity. This would be apt to
be overlooked, and especially if the stone is
covered with cement.
The MORNING News gives Mr.. Chaplin
pointer this morning, 50 that if he directs
his workmen to clean off and examine the
stones thus far excavated he may find the
relic which ought to be highly valued and
placed whore it will be preserved.
