the race between McClelland and the PAGER.
Donald r. which takes place at Exposition
Park tomorrow afternoon. There has been a
little betting on the result at even money. The
talent seem TO think that McClelland has the
best OF the handicap. 1t is thought that the
horse will not pace the two miles and thre-
quarters in less than eight minutes, and that
McClelland can easily beat this time in mile

race promises to be an interesting one.

One would have thought from the grea
crowds which have poured into the Exposi-

throng was positively unparaVeled. The
Pennsylvania Railroad Company clone
brought 1000 people over the Fort WaJEee

Exposition in order to have their tickets
made good for the return trip. About 5000
people came by the other lines; and the
local attendance was unusually large.
Seven hundred pupils of the High School
were among these Pittsburg visitors. The
official attendance, as given by one of the
board. reached the amazing total Of $4,000.
Yesterdays musical programme was
highly appreciated by the enormous crowd.
1t consisted of selections from the lighter
operas of the day, within the evening
pieces of higher order, culled from the
portfolios of Weber, Rossini, Lehbach and

combined with some very bad fielding by his

Jones undoubtedly was anxious to do too
much, as he went into the box with notion
that he would come out victorious, entirely
forgetful that he had not the Pittsburgs behind
him. II. E. Colgan made wretched show at
third base. Maui pitched well for the Pitts
burgs and his support was good. The weather
was fine and about 600 people were present.

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DrsPATcH.i


NEW YORK, October 7.-It has become
apparent that the whole electric wire ques-
ton is one of current tension. The solution
of the problem is easily within popular COM
prehension, and there need be no confusion
over the hot technical disputes which the
electrical experts are having. The matter
is as simple as the difference between high
and low pressure boilers, and the questions
of electric and steam pressure are closely
analogous.
1t is comparatively much less expensive
to accomplish a given result by high
pressure electric current than it is by low
tension current. In other words, it costs
about one-third as much to light 100 arc
lamps with 3,OOo-volt current as it does
with 300 volts.
