Entertainments.

Irwin Brothers circus will exhibit on the Howard avenue lot Friday and Satur- day afternoons and evenings. The show has made a decided hit wherever it has appeared. One decided advantage it has lies in the fact that there is only one show go- ing on time and the eyes of the specta- tors are not wearied in endeavoring to fol lows the acts in say a dozen different rings at one and the same time.

GRAND CIRCUIT RACES.

Fast Track and Pleasant Weather
 at Hampden Park-A Hot Heat in
 the 2:26 Class-The Winners.
 SPRINGFIELD, Mass, Sept. 3.-The weather was pleasant and the track fast for the second days races of the circuit meeting on Hampden park this afternoon. The two regular events were well contest ed, particularly the Hampden park stake race for 2:22 class trotters. Belle Hamlin and Justina came out after the first heat of the 2:22 class and were driven a mile to beat their record A break after reaching the half mile spoiled what promised to lower it and they finished in 2:1S.
 The 2:26 class was quickly disposed of, Chelsey D. winning in straight heats. The betting on the stake race was strongly in favor of Prince Regent at the start. In the first heat Mambrino Maid set pace in the first heat, closely pressed by Saxon, Prince Regent and Edith R. On the upper turn Prince Regent pulled up even with the leader and, coming into the stretch, went to the front and won easily by three lengths. Prince Regent started out well in the second heat but a break put him back to third place. He was rapidly overhaul ing Jean Vatican and Maid at the three quarter pole when he again went to pieces and finished last, barely escaping being distanced, The third heat was hot one between Prince Regent, Mambrino Maid and Jean Valjean, the favorite winning by barely half a length. In the fourth Prince Regent led all the | way around to the distance stand when Mambrino Maid outtrotted him and won the heat The fifth and last heat was q contest between the Maid and Regent all the way, but the Maid was too fleet and won.

your IDEA, senator of definite American

THE American policy should have for its
object the unification of the continent
The Poar sea should be the north
ern boundary of the republic and
the southern boundary should be the
interoceanic canal Look at the existing
conditions We have practically reached
the limit of our agricultural domain We
are approaching that period spoken of by
Macauley as dangerous to republican insti-
buttons when the vast migrations to these
undeveloped regions will have ceased, and
when the artisans and toiling masses con-
centrated in the large cities will have no
outlet for their surplus numbers and no de
mand for their labor

"The interests of the west and south are
Identical and they should be unified Their
alliance upon all matters affecting their
natural welfare is inevitable Ii they coal
esce they will be invincible We shall hold
the purse and WELD the sword of the nation,
and we shall use them, not for oppression,
but for justice = The ultimate coal

this section is inevitable The west will
then secure its emancipation from the con-
troll of the Atlantic seaboard This is one
of the events of the near future We will
then treat these Atlantic and Pacifi: APP
pendages with justice-in fact, l might say
with more justice than they have hitherto
shown to u.s."
As to President Harrison the senator
thinks his mistake was trying to enforce the
civil service law, which was also Cieve-
lands mistake. However he thought the
president would grew in public favor.

for the trouble. The firemen and labor
