furthered the iniquitous legislation
which has robbed millions of

might be many times millionaires,
which has blanketed the West and
South with mortgages, whell other

A GREAT DAY FOR CHICAGO.

Ohio is in IL in Great Form-The School
Children are also in it..orost Banquet
Tonight.
CHICAGO, Oct 19.-[Special.l-A per-
feet day Of sunshine with crisp air favors
the great opening OF the Columbian Cere-
monies.
Today Witnessed two of the most ims
portant events in connection with the Co
lumbian ceremonial and the dedication Of
the Worlds Fair. II will be followed to-
night by magnificent inaugural recep-
ton and banquet at the Auditorium
where the most distinguished orators,
statesmen, historians, divines and leaders
Of opinion will be present.
The first event was the celebration Of
Columbus day by the school children. A
committee representing the state and city
superintendents had arranged pro-
gramme for celebration in the public
schools and the children executed this
rd er Of exercises with vim. When the
schools opened, the rooms in which the
exercises were to take place we're all
decorated in q way appropriate to the oc-
casion.
Dividing attention during the day with
the school celebration was the arrival
from Washington Of the Cabinet officers,
Members OF the Diplomatic Corps and
Justices of the Supreme Court of the
United States, to say nothing of the mul>
titudes of other distinguished guests,
official and sunoflcial, from
every quarter of the country.
Chicago has never before seen such a
crowd, and the city was never so profuse>
Iy decorated. The city is gay with count
less banners, fluttering q hearty welcome
to the thousands of strangers. All flags
were unfurled. Nearly all are festooned
with rosettes and shields in place, and Co.
lumbus was smiling down on the people
in the streets from thousands Of hooks
and corners. Thus far not an accident
has occurred to mar the historic pageant.

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. l5.--It will take
six days to finish the races arranged for
the four days fall meeting at the Phila.
delphia Driving park. Today the first
division of the 2,27 trot will be finished
and the 2.33 pace decided. The 227
trotting class was divided because of
the large number of entries and two
purses were offered. The first division
was carried over after Kitty Frazier, the
favorite, had won two heats and Florilla
one. The second division was won in
straight heats by Altogether.
There was considerable jockeying in
the unfinished 224 class, four heats Of
which were trotted Thursday. 1t was
evident that scheme was on foot to
have Arches b win, for several of the
other drivers tried to rocket j. M.
Petit, the driver of Monroe Wilkes, the
favorite, This was so palpable in the
sixth heat, when Ruby, driven by Jesse
Iearrance, managed TO win atter run
ming nearly a quarter of mile, j.
Reamer, the driver of Colonel Walker,
and j. Carpenter, the driver of Archie
B, crowding Petit to the rail, that the
judges delared it no heat and fined
Yearrance $50 and suspended him until
the payment of the fine. Reamer's pun
ishment was the declaring of Colonel
Walker to be distanced.
In the 2.15 pace, unfinished from
Thursday, Saladin won the sixth heat in
2.14t, reducing his record three-fourths
Of a second. Rebus won the seventh
heat and the race.
Gordon was the favorite in the second
division of the 227 trot, but finished
last in the first heat and was badly dis
tanced in the second. The judges sus-
pected job and waived the distance
Upon examination nail in the shoe on
the off front foot was found bent, thus
laming the animal. The judges sent
the horse to the associations stable and
the third heat j. w. Metcalf drove him,
but he was again distanced and tn
judges suspicious were found to be un-
founded. Summary:
