pools and bets were declared off. Time,

The Is mile selling was equally good
There was delay at the start, owing to
the cusSed temper of Askey, who backed
and Sidled up the track an eighth Of a
mile and was with difficulty brought to
the flag by the whole Of her etable. When
the red signal fell she was nearly
three lengths to the rear, but
moved into the head of the home
stretch, after being close-bunched all
around, like chariot team. 1t was a see
saw of noses ahead between Arkey and
Lalla w, who made the pace so hot that
Winnie Davis dropped back a shoulder
and Nettie Lockwood length, Arkey
coming under the wire nose ahead in
1.30. about LAB step.
The % selling race, heats, two out of
three was a superb race. The talent got
left on their favorite. Bob. l.. and Tele-
graph won in two straight heats, the ia
vorite getting no place. Time 1.l7]9, about

The menu was excellent and well
served. There were no formal toasts but
Mr.. Billeisen's health was drunk TO which
he responded with ''the San Antonio
last of the International fairs of this city
but only the forerunner of other
and more successful ones. The
hour spent at the table posed
most pleasantly, and an adjournment was
made to the grand stand to witness the
display of fire works, for which great
preparations had been made. Prof. White
did himself and his reputation credit.
The colored fire on the banks Of the
river, throwing the parti- and-constantly-
changing lights against the green foliage
was most picturesque and the effect de-
lightful. The representation Of the
American and national colors in fire was
most vociferously cheered. The whole
entertainment. was a delight.

partment, but these have all been AMIGA
bly, settled except one about McClue's
stallion, which has been referred to Wal
lace, for decision. Capt. Fontaine. the
