A BETTER GAIT.
The Newcomers Setting the Pace
for the Cheyenne Dealers.
North Thirty Acres of the Fair
Grounds Sold Yesterday.
News and Notes on the Progress
of the Boom.
THE MARKET.

Yesterday was by long odds the %livliest
of the week in real estate circles. Trades
we're numerous, considerations large and
the aggregate of realty transferred oflarge
acreage. Confidence in the stability of
the boom is firmer than ever and in con-
sequence a much better feeling pervades
the market. For this there are several
very good reasons. The outsiders are
evincing a more lively interest and many
of them who have displayed a conserva-
t~iveness verging on wariness are now
fairly in t he swim and have invested with
a liberality, which though confidently an
ticipated, is none the less gratifying.
A FINE TRACT.
A syndicate, headed by Mayor Riner
and including non-residents as well as
home men, yesterday closed a deal with
the Wyoming Fair Association for
the north thirty acres of the
fair grounds in the northeastern quarter
OF the city. The consideration was S400
per acre, or a total of $4,000. This
leaves the association fifty of the original
eighty acres which, by the way, cost
SIS, 900.
The tract sold yesterday will be subdi-
vided into lots and blocks and will be
placed on the market at an early date.
1t is a beautiful plot, with every recon-
mendation as to character and locality and
will sell rapidly at good prices.

chase, the while maintaining a first-class

fore the end of the week.
TRADING BY WIRE.
Whitley, Gill & Co. kept the Chey-
enne-0maha wires loaded with real estate
talk for a time yesterday. They finally
closed a S., 900 deal and beat the trading
record to date. From the tenor of some
OF the messages received here it is in
ferred that the man at the other end of
the wire had a tip, and a good one.
