Merry Chimes PAGES Faster Than
The first heat IN the 2:40 pace was
n contest for your hirsute adornment.
Cleveland 5, driven by Amos Rath
bun, drew the pole and led around the
turn aud well into the back where he
MAS joined by Geers with Merry
Chimes. and tne pair swung into the
home stretch on even terms. The two
stations raced neck and neck for q
moment, but Cleveland gave it up
and Starr came up with the black geld
ing, San Pedro, and in q terrific drive
1t looked Is If he won the heat. The
Judges saw Merry Chimes first
and gave him the heat in 2:l4}.
In the second heat Starr adopted
different tactics. He lald back with
San Pedro and etGeers make the pace
with Merry Chimes. This evidently
suited Geers for he went very easy to
the last turn and when San Pedro
came up for the brush through the
stretch, the Village Farm stallion had
the most speed, carrying the geldlng
to q break ard winning with plenty To
spare in 2;lsf. Starr saw that there
was no chance to win with San Pedro,
so he made no move except to save his
distance in the third heat. The chest

Chimes busy to beat her, but he had
something left ut the finish in 2:l5 fiat.

surrounded by o. balcony. There are
two entrances, both of which open into
the two main halls on the ground Soor,
which intersect each other at right
angles in the large rotunda in the centre
of the Building, On the left of tho ro-
tunda are four cloak rooms, three class
rooms and an assembly room, the former
25X30 feet, whichis lighted from above,
and affords ample ventilation by means

THIRD WARD DEMOCRATS
Held Very Harmonious Meeting Last
Night.


meeting Of the Third ward Demo
Gratis was held in Sherldan's Hall in
East Roanoke last night. About sixty
supporters of the Democratic ticket
were present. The meeting was opened
with speech by Judge Gooch. who
pointed out the duty of all true Demo.
Gratis. His address was atten lively
listened to.
b. Lacy Hoge, the next speaker, was
frequently applauded. 10 made "a patri-
otto and purely Democratic speech.
W. 0. Hardaway, the candidate for
commemorative ATTORNEY, spoke of his
opponents and those who had previously
worked against him in most kindly
manner. He said the most deadly blow
the Democrats of Roanoke could do to
Southwestern Virginia would be to elect
Republican ticket. He also said it
was more to the interest of the citizens
of this town to elect full Democratic
Council than to have Democratic
mayor, commemorative attorney or
city sergeant.
Mr.. Hardaway advised scratching no
candidate at the election on Thursday
and was also of the opinion that the
Republicans arc the best organized
party on earth, giving his reasons tor
this opinion. Mr.. Hardaway also said
that if Mr.. Trout was defeated by Geo.
o. Houston, he (Trout) should take off
his hat and walk out of town. He was
also of the opinion that it is absurd for
Houston to run against Trout, and that
if the latter named party was defeated,
1T would be the forerunner of a Repub-
li;an victory throughout the State in
the coming contest this fall.
j. a. Hart a member of the executive
committee, c. A. McCune and others
made interesting spe. ches.
The utmost harmony prevailed, and
from all appearances the people present
were enthusiastic in their determination
to elect the nominees they had stood by
at the primaries

Holdozs Yesterday.
NEW York. May 23.-TSpeciall-A
meeting: of Richmond Terminal holders
was held, to-day to receive tho report of

toe, presented plan, OF which the fol-
lowing are the principal points,:
The Richmond Terminal Companx

new company with $40, 600, 600 preferred,
stock and $40. 900, 900 common stock.
The present six per cent. bonds to. be-
given I70in preferred stock; present. s
per cent. bonds and preferred stock to
DO given par in new preferred stock,
and the common stock to receive par in
new common, and to subscribe for $S.
600, 600 collateral trust two year six per

cent, in new preferred stock if the plan
Is successful.
1T is NOT proposed to pay Off the tioat-
ing debt with the proceeds OF this
assessment of about ID per cent, but to
buy claims now held by bankers and il
necessary to close these claims and
take possession for Stockholders OF
component parts of the system. If the
full amount should not be subsc. ibed by
the stockholders preferred stock will
then have the right TO make subscrip-
tons for the balance and take securities
that would have gone to non-paylng
common stock, and common stock not
subscribing will have no rights TO the
common stock of the new company.
Tine commitJeo intends to submit to
recent decisions of the courts in regard
the control of the Georgia Central Com
pany and will Issue certificates OF equal
parts in holdings OF those stocks to ga CD

OF his proportiOnate share, similar to
the scheme carried out by the Chicago
