THURSDAYS. RaceS.

I AS soon as the races were over the
crowds returned to the city and re-
/ called themselves, with such liquid re-
fGeshments as suited their fancy, and
supplied the cravings of the inner man
at the sumptuous boards, of the hotels
or else gave financial encouragement
to- the ladies of the various churches
and lent the aid of their stomachs to
deplete the we'll laden tables.
The lovers of the terpsichorean art
found plenty Of amusement at the
bewery until the dawning of the day
recalled to them the fact that nature
demanded arrest to prepare for the
next days amusements. Those of our
visitors of more quiet and sedate dis
position joined the crowd at the school
house and applauded the Ladies' Unity
Club in their exposition Of s'Theresa
The Fratricide" first-class tragedy
and we'll rendered.
THE SECOND, DAY.
The night of the first days eelebra-
ton closed with rain but notwfthstand-
ing this the evening train brought in
large delegations from Devils Lake,
Grafton, Grand Forks, Larimore, Park
River, Milton, Osnabrock and other
neighboring towns. The Milton from
bone band also arrived OH this train.
The morning OF the 24th opened bright
and clear and gave evidence Of per-
feet day. Long before the first tired
sleeper forsook his couch the last evil
dence Of the previous days rain had
disappeared and the streets were in
perfect condition. In fact the rain
proved a godsend, for it rot only laid
the dust, but left the air so cool and
bracing that, in spite of the hot sun
no one complained. The crowd of the
previous day was largely increased by
the arrival of the farmers from the sur
rounding country. 1t is estimated that
at noon June oath between 5000 and
1900 people were crowded in our city
and strange as it may seem all found
accommodations. Rolette, Bottineau,
Towner, Ramsey, Walsh and Pembina
counties each had their representatives
and all intent upon enjoying them
selves.
The first incident of the days pro-
ceedings was the arrival of an allegoric
car from Olga accompanied by the st.
Jean Baptiste society Of Olgo and some
two hundred citizens in carriages and
on horseback. The car was built in
shape of a boat with masts, etc., and
contained an allegoric representative
of Uncle Sam, Christopher Columbus,
st. Jean Baptiste, etc. This procession
was met about half mile from town
by the Langdon and Milton bands, the
officers of the different st. Jean socie'
ties, Co. e, N. D. N. G. and q large
delegation of citizens on foot and ii
carriages. The occupants of the cal

THE RACES.

At 2 o'clock the races were called
and headed by the Langdon City band
the crowds surged towards the race
track. Contrary to the usual custom
on such occasions every race was filled
and the program carried out to the
letter-;sh the last race run with the
rain pouring down i'll torrents. The
large prizes offered by the committee
had drawn number of good horses
here which aided materially in keeping
up the interest and making the cele-
bration the success it was. The fol-
lowing is. the program of the first days
races:

resulted in victory for the Osnabrock

which the people living tributary to
Langdon either sought their homes or
renewed acquaintance as the bowery
dance which was running far into the
night. A grand display Of fireworks

Miss McMahOn's Mind Affected and She
WandeTS Away from Home.
PoRT JERvIs N. Y, June 2O,-Lena
McMahon, the girl who was assaulted by
Rob Lewis, the lynched negro, and who
alleges that her former lover, Philip j.
Foley, blackmailed her, Saturday after
noon wandered away from her home in
this place. She walked the tow path of
the Delaware and Hudson canal to Oud-
debackville, a distance of eight miles,
and then proceeded three miles further
along the highway. Coming to an old
road which crossed the Shawangunk
mountains, she made her way in the
darkness some three miles through the
forest, over one of the steepest and
rougbest roads in this section.
Hsr father, John MoMahon, started in
pursuit of her on foot, after she had
been missing three hours. At Cudde-
baokVille he was taken into a wagon by
Robert Jackson, and they succeeded in
catching up with the girl at 10 o'clock
at night. She was still walking. The
girl was overjoyed to see her father and
was brought no me exhausted.
She had been subposnaed by the Sher-
III on Saturday to testify this week be-
fore the grand jury in the blackmailing
charges against Foley. 1t is thought
the excitement Of the past few days had
caused temporary alteration of the
mind. She was quite well last night,
and will app ear against Foley Tuesday.

| Chauncey Depow's Acceptan of tho state
Portfolio May Mako Him President.
WASHINGTON, June 20. In reference TO
the reported offer of the portfolio of
State to Mr.. Depew, an evening paper
prints a rumor that the position of the
Secretary of State is simply to be for
Mr. Depew a stepping stone TO some
thing further and that the prearranged
plan is to make Mr.. Depew the legatee
Of the administration, and in case Of
the election of MIR. Harrison, to bend
every energy to make Mr.. Depew his
successor four years from now.
To this end it is said Mr.. Depew will
sever every connection with the New
York Central and be entirely purged
from any taint of being corpora
zionist.
The rumor further relates the prece-
dents which have been established by
past Presidents in this same line.
Mr. Depew's reception by the Presi-
dent Saturday was most cordial. and the
President took occasion to thank him
heartily for his services at the late Con-
vention.
1t is understood that the conversation
between the President and Mr.. Depew re-
lated more particularly to the vacancy
existing in the Cabinet, and that the
President strongly urged Mr.. Depew to
aid him in the administration of public
affairs by assuming charge of the 5 ate
Department
Mr.. Depew was the sole guest at lunch
con. The result of the conference can
not be stated with certainty, but it is
understood that Mr.. Depew reuu ested
time to consider the proposition.
There was quite a gathering of repre-
sentatives OF the administration Satur-
day night at the dinner given by Mr..
Elliott f. Shepard of New York to Hon.
Chauncey NJ. Depew at the Arlington
Hotel, which lasted about two hours.
Those in attendance were Senator
Hiscock, of New York; Attorney General
Miller and Secretaries Noble and Elkins.
Secretary Elkins left the party about
$3.50 to join Mrs Elkins who had gone
to the White House to bid farewell to
the President and family, as they left
the same evening for Elkins, w. Va.
for short stay. The rest of the party
stayed quite late
Mr.. Depew left most emphatic orders
at the desk not to send cards to his
room.
1t was quite in contrast to the recep-
tion held by Senator Hill, who saw all
callers and there were great many
who called
