When the race was finished, Billy s., the
horse that had taken second money, was
protested on the charge OF being a ring
er,"i O.. horse with a record under the
class he was entered Ia, and being entered
under An assumed name. The Association
holds the money until he can be identi
fled.
NOTES:
Elmwood Chief the brown gelding from
Denver, would have won the free for-aii
trot had he not wandered from his stall o
day or 30 before the race and fell Into the
old cellar near the north fence. This cell
lar had been an eyesore TO the Association
for months, and every load OF DEBRIS earth
or offai that could be dumped Into 1t was
added TO fll 1t up. II seemed no more
than a slight depression In the earth, but
the manure and straw on sop was loose,
and had not foreman discovered pair
of ears and q nose above the mass, Elm
wood Chief would have been In the horse
paradise. Ropes and boards were procured
and he was taken out, bat II Is conceded
that his struggle TO gain the bank caused
him to loose his condition.
The FREE TRADER cannot but congrat-
ulste the Association upon the great sue
cess of It's meeting. 1t was, a. 1t had ad-
yertised, the Blue Ribbon Meeting" 10
receipts, crowd, horses, time and track
nothing Was wanting, unless 1t may have
been a cool breeze. The herses were the
best that have ever visited this circuit. The
time made In the different classes was
most excellent the crowd was, without
exception, orderly and ever enthusiastic
and the track, to use the expression OF an
old horseman who has been over all the
country, 1.-The best halt mile track In the
United States, no track excepted
Another horseman said / never saw
a town where 30 much interest Is taken IN
horse matters" The attendance was uni
formly larger than on similar occasions In
MANY cities three and five times Its size.
There were more people here on Thursday
than at any one day At the 81. Paul races"
Mr.. Nibbro, the veteran driver, carries o
gold watch with diamond sittings, worth
$500. He attended the races at Sioux City,
Ia, and had placed $500 In the pools
against certain horse. The judges saw
that the horse was being pulled, and asked
Mr.. Nibbro to take the drivers seat. ne
demonstrated, saying that he could mol
drive against his own money, but the
judges were arbitrary and forced him 10
take the seat. He went out and won IN
three straight heats, and Of course lost his
5000, but the crowd at once raised SScO
and presented him with the elegant time
niece, which is ever proud to display.

It might have been. As matter OF fact,
Its prosperity must have been great-much

The entertaining little squib which leads
this paragraph, emsnates from the press OF

inferred that II Is the product OF the pen OF

Reuse for the resuscitation unless II be to

II is with pain that the general public
views the rapidly declining interest In the
preservation of pole cats. Time was when
the pole cat was power In the land, and
walked the night In sublime security. NO
one was found too high nor too low to
do him homage and wherever he appeared
multitudes divided In respectful silence
that he might pass unsullied by contact
with worldly uncleanliness. Time was
when the poll cat was allowed TO roam the
hen roosts and the smoke houses undis-
turbed and enjoyed with the poor Indian
aud the American bffalo the distinction of
q national fame. Wherever his presence,
either In person or by the sublime charm
Of his being, became manifest, handker-
chiefs were waved In his honor, and no
comment upon his greatness was too good
for him. But that time has gone by, and
like q defeated candidate, he is hunted
from once place to another to die In obliv-
ion.
Gall is that quality In mankind which
enables its possessors to indulge In the
foIlies Of q wicked, yet .epeutant world,
with seeming innocence and unconscious
ness Of wrong doing, and happy faculty Of
impressing that innocence upon the re-
mainder of mankind In a plausible and
reasonable manner.
The above sentence was penned by the
writer before he became newspaper man,
and before he really became acquainted
with the delightful sensation of possessing
gall. But since that sentence was present

TIE Secretary Of the State Normal
Institute to he held at the West Virginia
University the coming summer, writes
that large attendance is already assured,
both from within and without the State.
Indeed, it is believed that n splendid be-
ginning will be made towards rivalling
Chautauqua, Saratoga or Asbury Park.
Miss Pollock, one OF the instructors from
Washington, after she had already used
one hundred catalogues, writes for five
hundred more.
This shows the Institute is already
ginning National reputation. The city
OF Wheeling has one hundred assistant
lady teachers; they are ambitious to
improve, and at the same time need a
pleasant and healthful vacation. Why
not get both by going to the State Nor
NAL Institute at Morgnntown?

Yesterdays Register boiled over with
indignation, because recent special to
the INrELLIGENcER gave the details Of n
recent visit to Washington made by
General Manager fancy, OF the Register,
Hon. Randolph Stalnaker and Mr.. ]. r.
McCortncy. Thebusiness that took these
gentlemen to Washington was OF some
Importance to the Wheeling public, as
it was for the purpose Of having correct
cd, il possible, gross injustice that is
about to be done by the Mills bill to one
Of our leading industries, and tho In
TELMGENcER published it as matter Of
interesting news. There was no good
reason why the matter should have
been kept secret from the interested
public, though tho Register seemed to
think there was, for it did not publish a
line concerning the trip, notwithstand-
ing Editor fancy was upon the ground
and in a position to send correct re-
port,
The Register has gone to much I'M
necessary trouble and some expense to
deny some non-essential statements in
the INrELLIoENcER's special. Granting
that the INrELLlaENcER's correspondent
was misinformed regarding Mr.. By
NUNS presence ut tho Washington in
teryiew with Congressman Wilson, the
fact that there was such m interview re-
mains. The presence or absence OF Mr..
Bynum is immaterial.
The real news feature Of the INrELll-
GENcER's special is uncontradicted-
namely, that General Manager fancy,
and Messrs. stalnaker and McCortney
visited Mr.. Wilson in the interests OF our
pottery industry. There was much in
the special concerning General Manager
Taney's connection with the matter that
was surprising and worthy Of comment.
The material points OF this portion Of
the dispatch are also uncontradicted,
though the silly and groundless charge
is made that they were manufactured in
the INTELMGENcRR office.
Without further notice OF the Regis-
tcr's ill.tempercd denial of the non
essentials, the INTELLioEScER desires to
express its qualification at learning that
General Manager fancy has acknowl-
edged the mistake he has made all along

TIE editor OF tho INTELLIGENCE, who
has been making some interesting per-
sonal observations in Maine in regard to
tho working of the prohibitory liquor
law in that State, gives his views on the
subject in our telegraph columns this
morning He found, what has before
been claimed, that prohibition does not
prohibit, and that liquor is openly sold
in saloons. AT this time the interview
will make very interesting reading in
this State which is about to vote on the
question. The matter to decide is
whether like Maine VIC will have all the
evils and no revenue or regulation of
the traffic which will keep it within GER
tain bounds.
