The Broncho Got There.

An Ansonia, Conn, man was recently
beguiled into trying the speed of an un-
known mustang on the Derby driving park.
The animal was brought with a blanket
and halter in place of saddle and bride
All being i'll readiness, he rode up the track
and down under the wire on an easy can
ter, with sort of see ee-me-ride look on his
placid features. The crowd shouted "Go ~
and at that moment chan ge came over
that pony He Strengthened out and com
menced to fly. The rider was astonished,
but thought he would quiet down before
the quarter was reached. But the pony
continued to 90, and when he rounded the
upper corner the rider dropped the halter
and seized the name, clingng on for dear
life. The halt was made in 10, and as he
passed the stand, cheered for his fine work,
an agonized looking face was turned toward
its occupants, and faint cry of Help
was heard. Up the back stretch flew the
pony, the cry of stop him Stop him ~
sounded by the rider only increasing his
| speed On the upper turn it seemed AS if
| the rider would be unhorsed, but his arms
| clasped around the pony's neck held him
| fast As he reached the home stretch it
was only IA question of durability of the
muscles of the riders arms whether he
would pass under the wire with the pony
or not. 1t was fearful tension, ms the
/ power TO hold ON by the lower limbs was
| gone, and the riders body was strung out
at each jump, acting as "A whip To the po
ny. who came like a whirlwind under the
wire, making the mile in 2:lj, and the last

WASHINGTON, April 2.-The Senate in
executive session to-day confirmed all the
nominations of delegates to the South Am
erican conference. Also the nominations
of William j. Wharton as assistant secre-
tary of state: L. Bradford Prince, as gov
ernor of New Mexico; George H. Shields,
of Missouri, as assistant attorney general,
and Robert j. Fisher, of Illinois, as assis-
tant commissioner of patents.
John H. Henderson, of Missouri; Corne-
Illus n. Bliss, New York; William Pinkney
White, Maryland; Clement Studebaker,
Indiana; T. Jefferson Coolidge, Massachu-
sets; William H. Trescott, South Carolina;
Andrew Carnegie, Pennsylvania: John r.
A. Pitkin, Louisiana; Morris NJ. Estee,
California, and J, F. Hanson, Georgia, as
delegates to the congress of American ma
tons, to be held in Washington, November,
1889
The naval promotions were sentso the
Senate to-day by the President, aDs were
also confirmed.
Jacob H. Dinnick, postage agent at New
York city, has been removed for neglect Of
his official duties.
In the executive session today, there was
a continued objection to the personnel of
the delegation to comprise the Congress of
American nations, but it availed nothing.
Senator Beck characterizeS the Demo
cratic members as Mugwumps who were
not recognized as belonging to the party
and he didn't think it fair to have them
pose before the country as representatives
of the Democratic party. However, they
were all confirmed.
a motion was made to consider the vote
by which the nomination of Andrew
Carnegie was confirmed, but only six or
eight Senators voted for it.
In the course of the session, efforts were
made to remove the injunction of secrecy
from the motions to confirm the nomina-
tions of Whitelaw Reid to be minister to
France, and of Murat Halstead to be minis
ter to Germany, but they were unsuccess-
full.
Calendar nominations were almost en-
tirely cleared. The nominations of Kins-
headt to be United States marshal of the
eastern district of Louisiana, and of White
man to be associate justice of the United
States court in New Mexico, were the most
prominent of those that failed of confirma-
