RECORp nREAKERs
Have Been Getting In Their Work on the
Track THIS Week.


The past week has been a red letter
week on the race track. There have
been several events that horsemen
looked forward 20 with the greatest
possible interest, and now that they are
over, there are some people looking
back with almost as much interest and
longing.
It was the belief that the race
between Auerton and Nelson, the
two fastest stations I'm the world, would
be the event of the week, or of the
season, for that matter, but IL was
sore disappointment. They are
the fastest stations on the turf to-
day and both should have done better
than they did az Grand Rapids. Aller-
CON has q record Of 2:9l5 on a kite
shaped track and Nelson record of 2:1O
ON the regulation track and something
better than the time made was expected
when these princes Of the turf came to-
gether. Their time was very disap-
pointing 90 those who expected that
they might even lower the record Of
2o, held by Maud s., and the best
time ever made.
The race between Hal Pointer and
Direct, at Terra Hautc, Ind, was more
lu the line OF frst-clasS racing,
the two horses keeping daylight from
between them al the way round in all
the four heats. IL was great race,
but it does not seem 10 satisfy the own
ers of the horses, for they are TO come
together again.
The $4,000 FLY Allie W., owned by
McKeever Bros, died yesterday, at the
Louisville Jockey Club Grounds. She
fell In a race Thursday, and a post NOR
tenn revealed the fact that she literally
broke herself In two.
Edward Corrigan has renewed his
fight against the Concy Island Jockey
Club. He has entered suit 20 prevent
the CLUB from keeping all Of his horses

Since the theatrical season opened in
Wheeling, the business of both houses
mas been little more than fair. The
shows that have been presented were
all fairly good with possibly few ex-
ceptiOns, and deserved the patronage
they have had.
"Aunt Bridget's Baby" at the Opera
House has, in one sense, been the event
of the week. 1t was funny, uprOarously
funny, and the old fayorite, Geo. W..
Monroe, carried the audience with him
by his irreSistably funny acting. A
lady, speaking OF "Aunt Bridget'S
Baby, said the day after the perform
auce: 1T was dreadfully funny and l
laughed till my sides ached. Since
have gotten beyond the control
of the very amusing people
who make up the cast, see
that many OF the things l laughed at
we're not nearly so funny as thought
them 20 be at the time, and there were
things ia the show which. II said in my
presence by any one privately, I should
feel mere insults. But the way it was
done, aud the things that went before
and came after covered them up en-
TREY"
That's the way it is with most theat-
rical performances. Actors are al
lowed to DO and say things on the stage
that would not be tolerated elsewhere;
but why, when Aunt Bridget's Baby"
had so much fun in it without them,
might these little illusions not have been
omitted.
Satan seemed to tickle the boys; the
old boys as we'll as the younger ones.
Those who were there the first night

Of those shows that IL advertised better
by the people who see it, than 1t
possibly could be by the newspapers
and flaming posters on all the dead
walls. Men can tell each other OF

AMONG THE T0ILERS
EVEarS OF THE WEEK IN THE FIELDS OF
LABOR.
Window Glass Workmn and Manufacturers
Meet TO Adjust Wage Diffculty-Notss Of
the Week in the Mills and Factories.

There is little new to report In the In
dustrial situation this week. The usual
brief stoppages and minor wage troubles
incident to the operation Of the various
mills and factories have occurred, but
none were Of sufficient moment to dis
turb the generally satisfactory condi-
ton OF trade. Manufacturers are COM
planning Of shortage Of natural gas,
and it is quite probable that when the
weather becomes colder, causing a
greater consumption Of gas by families,
many industrial plants will be compelled
to substitute coal as fuel. The ques-
ton OF fuel IS a disturbing one with
manufacturers.

Eberbardt and his colleagues stoutly
maintained that factory owners should
provide for paying the snappers. Al
though no denial was made OF their
statement that such payment was not
necessary, being no part OF the yearly
scale, the workers committee insisted
that it must now be done. The
proteststious Of the blowers and
the refusal OF many of them
to work, in addition to the strike
in three Western factories, were the
imperative reasons given. Strong argu-
ments were used by both sides to the
dispute. 1t ended, after an hours ses-
sion, in the manufacturers committee
entering into an agreement 10 pay half
OF the wages Of the snappers. One
argument used to reach the agreement
was that the trade being on the point
Of a general resumption after having
settled one wage dispute, neither party
