Death of Alfred Rogers.

Many Cheyenne people will learn with
sorrow OF the death of Alfred Rogers,
who came here with Dc Reed, the first
surveyor general for Wyoming territory
and worked as deputy surveyor here with
Henry G. Hay, now cashier of the Stock
Growers National bank and John B.
Thomas the well known cattle man. His
death resulted from typhoid fever.
After leaving here Mr.. Rogers located
in Denver as a member OF the geological
survey. He was about 43 years old and
leaves a wife but no children. He was q
man of many excellent traits of character
and the friends which he made during his
residence here were many and warm ones.

A big bundle OF money was played on
the mile dash for all ages. Sympathetic's
Last was the f%avorite until scratched
when Dan Meek took the place. A job
was strongly suspected and the judges
must have had an inkling of the thing,
Judge Ijams called Duffey. Gagan and
Bob Freeman, the Jockeys to the stand
and made them a little speech in very
earnest tones. lie said that each horse
mast be brought under the wire at top of
speed and urged with whip or spur. If
a false move was noticed the drivers
would be ruled off every association track.
The racers moved along quite socially
until well down the back stretch, when
Kismet challenged Dan Meek and they
tore onward spiritedly. Waldren was
back. Kismet led Meek easily all around
and passed under the wire four lengths in
the lead with Waldron a modest third.
In announcing the result Mr.. liams
said that the judges had decided to award
the dash to Kismet, Dan Meek second,
but they were convinced that Gagan did
not do his duty as rider of Mart Waldren
and should be given six months. The
reference to Gagau pleased for a moment
the people who had lost.
The five-eighths dash was a surprise to
everybody on account of the remarkable
time. Duffey landed Red Elm a winner
under a pull in 1:O4f. Little Nell was
second and Sorrel John third.

Over the Sticks.

Interest centered In the hurdle race and
after a pair of trots-one very good and
the other indifferent-the spectators were
keen to see every bit of the spirited run
ming and jumping race for the Associa-
tons elegant $500 cup and a portion Of
the entrance money. The field was an
uncommonly fine looking lot of steeple
chasers. Imported Creole, the Stokes &
Whitehouse entry, was the favorite. The
stunning mare was ridden By Patsy Duffy.
She is a beauty and no mistake; a big
animal with every point of the thorough
bred racer. Her stable mate was Jack,
who looks a good horse for every day bust
ness. Brooks Bedouin and the Percheron
Banta with Dan Hogan up were
a handsome pair. Both are dark and
have shining coats. They are large as
cavalry horses, well muscled with big
chests and heavy hips. Mack. the Kuy-
kendall Il Cobb nomination is not a really
handsome horse, but has fine action. is
speedy and has good bottom.
The horses we're given a very good
send off by Mr.. White after Creole had
tretted at the post and Be1ouin tried to
climb the fence INTO the quarter stretch.
They commenced running on the turn.
Mack led with Banta' Creole JACK and

Perhaps the handsomest animal of hi.
age ever shown at the fair grounds is the
thoroughbred Hereford bull owned by
Chas. Boulter. The animal is only lG
months old and weighs $50 pounds. His
coat is sleek, his coloring rich and in all
of his points he approaches an ideal of
perfection. He captured first premium
at the fair and was pronounced by the
Judges one OF the finest animals they had
ever seen.

Yesterdays fair attendance was the lar
gest of the week by a Thousand or more.
There was a big crowd of school children
and strange as it may seem zone were in
iured. They behaved remarkably well,
and only a few of the boys wandered into
the portion of the ground where Ed.
Farrer sells first choice for big money and
does the best he can with the field.
Weather made to order could not have
been more suitable. The sun shone
brightly, but the warmth OF its rays was
offset by n mild breeze of refreshing cool
ness.
The track is now about as fast as the
western half mile usually becomes and
very good time was made in several
events. The raised turns have improved
the route a great deal and faithful work
on it for the past week has made the sur
face nearly what it should be.
A new departure was taken by the city
band yesterday. 1t filled the air with
popular melodies during the otherwise
tiresome and unnecessarily long waits. A
lively gallop was rendered occasionally.
but the old time selections, admirably
given, caught the crowd. A full hun
dred quarter stretch fr~equenters were at
one time humming Killarney.

Rev. j. IL. Carrdth, OF Lawrence, says
she lost her crulch at Excelsior Springs
and gained her health. DR.. Pumphrey,
of Wheaton, relates the cure of his
little daughter from catarrh of the
bladder by the use of these waters for q
tcw weeks, after he had expended over
$500 in vainly trying to save her by
other means, and closes with: II do

tinn among physicians all over the
land. rhe principal of the Kansas
City High schools, John Il. Buchanan,

Frank j. Cheny, of Toledo, Ohio, ex-
claims: 81 believe the Excelsior

fact that the demands from a distance

that bottling house is about 10 be
erected to supply the want.
TO my mind. however, the strongest
proof of the value of these springs is
the number of people who come here
as an experiment, find the waters
essential TO their health and settle
down near them for life. Their beau
tiful cottages are springing up in
every direction.
1t is evident that just those advan-
tages that have made Bath, in England,

cities, are present here to build up a
great watering place aud health resort

EDITOR lNTELLIG ENCER: - | have
been much impressed with the value of
these springs during my stay here, and
| it has occurred TO me that the people
of Lexington, through the columns of
the lntelligencer, might like to get the
facts about them from an unprejudiced
observer. They are OF general interest
and are worth careful consideration.
| Western towns are often started as
speculation, and reliance is placed on
loud talk and advertising to make a
boom, but it is not SO here. The real
merits of the lace have never vet been
adequately set before the public. The
buildings and improvements OF the
company are of small account to the
people in general. What they wish TO
know is the composition of the waters,
and il there Is any special excellence
IN them. On that point there is some.
thing to say that think may be worth
a space in your columns.
There are some bali a-doZGn OF the
springs scattered along up and down
