the Reformed Catholic church. The
United Greek Catholics are in commun-
ion with the Church of Rome, holding,

Rochester,, N. Y, Aug. 1.-THE
third renewal Of the Flour City stake,
one Of the most important trottinS
events of the Grand Circuit, brought an
unusually large crowd to the driving
park this afternoon, and the large num-
| Der of entries seemed 10 make closely
contested race certain. Like the $4,000
stake Ut Detroit last month, it was over
in four heats, and the honors went to
the 4-year-old mare Happy Bee and her
trainer, John +. Turner. The 10 that
competed were not particularly good,
except Happy Bee and Little Albert. SO
that it narrowed down 10 a duel be-
tween the California geiding and the
little mare from Philadelphia.
in the early pools Little Albert
brought $100 Happy Bee, $75; Fanny
| Wilcox, $50, and the rest footed up
another 800. As Fanny Wilcox was
| too lame to start these pools were of,
and Little Albert continued the fayorite.
After tedious lot Of scoring, for
which Ryiand ]. and Harry Gould were
responsible, the 10 got away with Paul
., 'he pole The gray gelding went az
eii gait to the quarter and trottod OF
his feet, Trim taking the lead with Little
Albert at his wheel.
A Il they turned into the home stretch
Little Albert went 10 the front, and
Happy Bee, after shooting up 10 second
place, dropped back to third. Tho

of him, in ? lSs
The odds were 5 to 2 on Little Al

tagc 10 The third quarter that the race
appeared as good as over. Tnrner had
been saving his filly however, and sent
her along at such clip from the last
turn tina, Little Albert could not shake
her CIR, and she had her nose in front as
the pair went under the wire. The
mile was only in 9.21, but the last quar-
ter was in 331 seconds, and Starr had
clearly been caught mapping.
Now the betting was 10 TO against
Little Albert, and he tried in vain to
head Happy Bee in the third heat The
pair went AZ a 2.13 clip to the quarter,
and the geldlng lost his stride when he
made final squirt on the homestreteh
With two heats in hand Happy Bee led
the betting at 5 10 ?, but Little Albert
was by no means done for as he made
q gallant effort to retrieve himself when
Starr saved him for last rush at the
finish.
Happy Bee was equal to this, and the
two came home under the whip, Happy
Bee short neck ahead, in 2.2Ot, last
quarter in 33t seconds. Ryland I. and
Harry Gould came to grief in the second
heat, while Tom Hamilton, the trotter,
lately renstated, and Paul were drawn
before the last one. Geers landed
Wildbriro in third place in the fourth
heat, securing share of the purse,
while Trim had third money won after
the first heat.

BALTIMORE, Aug. 1.-THE Farmers
Alliance met here to-day in its third an

state, were present. President Hugh
Mitchell of Port Tobacco, presided,
with L. Garfield jenkins of Pomonkey,
secretary. Reports showed that since
last year the number of the Alliances in
Maryland has increased 100 per cent,
and the membership has increased 300
per cent.
All the morning session was occupied
in the consideration of credentials Of
the representative from Anne Arundel

lzers established sub-allance and adj

politicians. An appeal was taken, but
The organizer was upheld by the county
Alliance. Then the matter was taken to

izer was charged with having heen
drunk on the occasion and with having
illegally admitted the two politicians.

these charges were sustained and all of
Anne Arundel's delegation was ex.
