and hence the marks of the pack of cards
on her offspring. But further examination
OF the young snakes resulted in q discovery
that saddened me. Icounted the cards on
the snakes and found there were 81, one
more b enough for q regular pack. Then
! counted the suits and found them all
complete, and an ace Of spades to spare.
The thing was plain. Junius Garfield
had run an extra ace in on me, and here
perfidy.
~ called those snakes the n~ve-acers,
and they and their progeny have grown
TO be micro and useful inhabitants of
Henry county. We spend money
FOR playing cards up there. III we run out
OF n deck We step out n kill a five-acer,

shame this snake hasn't been planted

of walking down P~iccadilly with il under

while he appeared absolutely unconscious
that he was attracting attention. Others
of his sticks contained perfume fount-

instruments of torture.

himself about two feet in the rear of his

Round Town the Fourth.

Audubon was alive bright and early
on the morning Of the Fourth, and the
little city cannon belched forth the an.
nouncement of the arrival of the day
glorious ut dawn. The best feature of
the day was the races which occurred
at the fair ground In the afternoon.
The contest around which centered the
most interest was that between Chas.
lshams 0rvie C., and q. ii. Jones' Dill
lard Alexander. These horses have
been on the turf in good natured
rivalry for two years, and each has
numerous friends willing to back their
opinions. They were the only entries
in the ESQ class. Orvie G. was given
the pole, and won the first heat, follow
ing which billiard Alexander won the
race in three straight heats, but In each
case the race was so close that there
was but triae to spare. In each In.
stance the horses came under the wire
less than half length apart while In
two heats 1t seemed TO be merely a
question of which had the longest nose.
billiard did splendid work, making the
four heats with but one break. The
purses were 1876 and $50.
In the $50 class VIM. Carpenter, of
Extra, entered Bay Billy; Matt Hire, of
Manning, Fanny H.; ii. q. Dacken, of
Atlantic, Dolly d.; Ed Combs, Red
Cloud. A great deal of time was oc-
cupied In scoring, until the crowd be-
came wearied of the monotony. Fan
ny ii. took the first heat easily, Dolly
ID. the second and Red Cloud the third;
Fanny II. winning the fourth and
fifth heats and race. Purses S25 and

In the free for all, q. w. Craig, of
Atlantic, entered Ibis, Porter Il Colwell,

Shepard, of Manning, Rocky Mountain
Baby. Ted Mcmahon won the race
easily In three straight heats; best time
2:33. Purses 800, $40 and S25.
The wheelmen were unable to make
a race because the track was constant.
ly occupied by horses. Charlie Case
and one Bumboy from Avoca ran 30
yards, the former securing the honors.
On the Jones lsham race considerable
money changed hands, and there were
