A Rucipp Matinee.

The races at The driving park yesterday
afternoon, for alleged purses of s400, proved
to be lively brushes for the gate receipts.
There were, nevertheless some very pretty
and interesting heats trotted, some of them
being CJhoty contested, and considering
the chilly weather, strong wind and slow
track, the time was very good. The 80
race was won by Charles Wilson's b < Billy
Mont, Myers King Humbert second, and
Lacys Nellie Caffrey third. Haile's Mon
mouth Abdallah was drawn after the first
heat. Time-2:47, 2:40A.
In the three-mluute class McDermott's
Jim Blaine took the first heat in 3:0lT,
which would have easily been 2:55 had occa-
sion required it. The horse was drawn after
this heat, as the owner. who is a compare.
tive stranger in the city, was not accorded
proper facilities for caring for his horse.
The second heat was won by Big Sioux,
Tramp second, Maud third. Time-3 :05
There were but two heats trotted in each
race, and what little money there was in the
pool was divided. Tie second heat of the
2:30 race was very pretty exhibition, and
worth going to see. The. attendance was
very fair considering the weather. which
was altogether too cold for a trotting matt
nee.

Bear Hunting in Australia,

The Australian lSoala, or native bear,
has its favorite haunts in the gigantic
eucalyptus trees, in which, the color of
its fur being so like that of their bark,
it is not, when at any great height,
easily distinguishable from it. 1t lives
mainly upon the tender shoots and
buds, climbs with great rapidity, and
clings to the bark with wonderful
tenacity; the females while climbing,
carrying their young upon their backs.
DThey are destroyed In great numbers
for the sake of their hides, and the way
in which some OF the bushmen pursue
them, by cutting notches in the bark
and digging their toes therein, in emu
lation of the black natives, is not one of
the least wonderful things in the col
ony.
The BEARS cry of distress, when in
danger, is curiously like that of a terri
fed baby. In size they are small, and
resemble the sloth bear species, so COM
mon in the jungles OF India.
This animal, as we'll as the kangaroo,
opossum and other quadrupeds indig-
enous to Australia, belongs to the mar
supial order.

Modern Mistakes IN Grammar.

Faults are pardonable in converse
tion, which are not pardonable in writ
ten compositions, says the Ladies' Homo
Journal. But we must be careful not to
take too much leeway in this regard,
and not to make mistakes in grammar
or pronunciation. Some people are
guilty Of grammatical blunders, through
sheer carelessness. Thus, u lady Of my
acquaintan who understands trigo-
metry, and can translate Virgil, often
says to me, you was" and yet she knows
perfectly we'll that this an lnexcusable
mistake.
Other people who ought TO know bet
ter, say "he don't" for "ne doesn't" Il
don't know as do" instead of II don't
know that do.' "Aintn and "taint"
are not often used now by educated peo
Pile, unless in a jesting way. 1t is an
unwise thing. however, to be careless
or inaccurate in ones pronunciation or
use of language, since tricks of speech
are easily caught, aud very hard to get
rid Of. Thus, when one is talking TO
servants, or other uneducated people,
one is often tempted to adopt their
phraseology, in order to be readily un-
derstood by them, but it is better to
withstand the temptation, even if one
should be obliged in consequence to
take more trouble to express ones
meaning clearly.
What shall be said of the woman who
says II done it,? She has certainly
placed herself between the horns of
dilemma. Her hearers will infer,
either that her early education was
neglected, or that she associated with
uneducated people during her child
hood. And yet this is a grammatical
fault, which seems hard to get rid of.
Persons who never say II seen it," or
she has WENT or "'them things" will
occasionally betray themselves by let
ting slip the fatal Il done it,
1t is quite as incorrect to use she"
and "I'' for him" and 'Sme," or vice
versa. as 1t is to say 81 done it," and
yet the first named class of faults-that
OF using the wrong pronouns-is some-
times committed by educated people.
Indeed, have heard the phrase cit
is me" justified, on the ground that it
was a literal translation of the French
''c'est moi" But our English gram
mar does not, like its French name
sake, justify the employment OF certain
pronouncial forms, merely for the value
of euphony. "He is older than II may
not sound so well as 'he is older
than me-" yet the former is the correct
form. 1t is a very common mistake to
say Between you and l." and yet %
moments reflection should convince
anyone who has ever studied grammar,
that he should say Between you and
me-"

:hat Long Promised Palace Hotel
The new palace hotel scheme, although
several times sprung upon the unsuspectng
public, with unsatisfactory results, has
again risen TO the surface, and all the pre-.
liminary work has been done before the plan
was made public. The prospects for tho ulti-
mate success of the scheme are most
brilliant, and the erection of the hotel is re-
garded as an assured fact.
The proposed building will be six stories
in helghth, and will occupy frontage OF
90 feet on Pearl street and 100 feet on First
avcnue-in other words it is TO be located on
will oe erected by the enterprising firm Of
Kimball & Champ. Some time ago these
gentlemen submitted proposition to
MIR. Lucius Wells, president OF the
board of trade, that If the citizens
of Council Bluffs wanted a new hotel they
could get it, by giving reasonable assistance
to such an enterprise. Mr.. Wells called on
these gentlemen, and the proposition was
made that, If tho site above mentioned was
donated, they would construct six-story
hotel, to cost not less than Sl50,00O, on the
same. The entire first floor would be de-
voted TO an office and rotunda, while the
hotel would be furnished in as complete a
style as that amount of money could make 1t.
MIR. Wells notified a number of gentlemen of
the city concerning the proposition, and
finally appointed a committee TO raise the
necessary funds to secure the ground. This
committee has been at work, and has secured
Subscriptions sufficient to insure tho success
of the enterprise.
1t will be remembered that the amount
necessary to purchase this site for Chicago
syndicate was subscribed about Il year ago,
but when it came to guaranteeing the list the
whole scheme fell through. The site has
several times been selected for hotel pur-
poses, for which it is peculiarly adapted, and
1t is hoped that n handsome palace of this
kind will soon grace the spot. Tho board Of
trade has devoted good deal of time and
hard work to securing such Il hotel, aud it
will be a matter for general congratulation
if, at last, their efforts are TO be rewarded by
success

Its Origin still a Mystery.

Instead of an investigation tending to re-
veal the origin of the fire at the transfer
barn of Cousins & Nansel, Friday night, the
matter is more Of mystery than ever. Mr..
Cousins states that he mas no theory to offer
and after closely questioning all OF his men,
who were at tho stable when the fire started,
he can give no explanation that would throw
any light on the subject. He stated, how
ever, that the company carried small in
surance 10 cover such accidents as might de-
prlve their patrons of property while in their
possession, and this amount would be divided
pro rata among those who sustained loss.
The company is not required by law to
carry any such insurance, and it was taken
solely to protect their patrons as much as
possible.
The fire was an exceedingly hot one, and
the tiremen had their faces and hands Sc
verely blisIered. Captain Rapalie, of Hose
