News OF tho Draw.

McKErsPoRT, Sept. l5.-The decision
Of the referee ia ordering Teemer and
Gaudaur to ror the race over was re.
ceiyed here with universal favor, 1t is
generally believed that Teemer had the
race won when he had so great a lead on
Gaudaur at tho end Of the first mile, and
would have won it but for interference.
The story Of the Gaudaur party claiming
that Gaudaur was given deadly drug
is laughed at, no one credits 1t and the
public expression Is that II is simply
ridiculous and was the weak effort oi a
very poor brain that originated 1t.

is in hopes that lie will be given a fair

NJ isa CIarke's Readings.

The dramatic readings and musical en-
tertainment of Miss Superintendent
Clarke, tomorrow: (Monday) evening, a
the Arion hall, promises to be one of thu
richest treats our citizens have ever en-
joyed.
A Montana lady while in Edinburgh
a year or two since, heard one of the
most talented American elocutionists re.
cite "The Famine" selected from Long
fellows Hiawatha, when, after the read
ing, she was literally borne from the
house in the arms of the students of the
Edinburgh University, who were com
pletely enchanted by her rendering Of
the piece. The same lady subsequently
heard the same selection recited by Miss
Clarke and says that her rendition was in
many respects more realistic than the
Edinburgh reading.
We are especially requested to state
that, if any of the audience have fears
that their ''poor nerves" might be shock
cd by the recitation of "Ostler joe" they
will have an opportunity of retiring be-
fore the reading of it begins.
