The weather yesterday was all that
could be desired for racing, and drew a
very large crowd to the track 1T Clifton.

the five events ran off and they had a de
cidedly disastrous day, as with but one ex-
ception, the favorites carried off the hon
ors. The second race was made a heavy
plunge, but the favorite had all he could
do to stall off the vigorous challenge of
Hamilton on Obelisk, and it was not until
the numbers We're put up that the King
Arthur faction were relieved from
anxiety. Thu races throughout were well
contested and a capital days sport was
the result, with the hackers of the favor

gasus second, a head in front of Pirate,
third. Time, 1.52. Mutuels paid 81. so, for

Rumor Killed Ex-President Cleveland.

Dies MONIES, Ia, April II, 1SS9.-It was
rumored here and in several cities in Iowa
and Nebraska yesterday that ex-President
Cleveland had been assassinated last
night by the colored porter of a Pullman
car between Philadelphia and New York;
The report was believed to be true and
created intense excitement. At Cresten,
Ia, flags were displayed at half mast and
not until dispatches were received from
Chicago and Omaha denying the report,
was the suspense ended.
