SlR:-Please allow me u shOr1
space in your paper to make an ap
pology and explanation to the pub
lie for dra wing my horse (Ragnarok,
and causing the disappointment tt
the spectators of seeing a race be
tween Spurgeon and Ragnarok.
There was no occasion for the
wrangle and row as reported in your
issue of last night. When consent
ed, at the solicitation of Messrs. Pull
man and Close. to give the exhibition
race of my horse with Spurgeon
with q record of 2:2lX), Il race horse
that has trottcd through the eastern
circuits, there vas nothing said about
association rules, and il there had
been should not have consented to
racing him, as do not want to give
my horse record of either a mile or
half mile, for reasons best known to
myself There was nothing said
to rules until a short time before the
race, and then if had wished to race
under the rules, | could not, as had
no weights or no way OF procuring
any and all l could do was to send
my horse to the barn as he was warm
and ready to start. These are the
facts Of the case and l had no other
object in doing as l have done, as |
never bet on race and don't claim
anything for the horse and had moth
ing to win and nothing to lose.

HOTEL NEWS.
A Bonus Being Raised for the
New Hotel on the
East Side.
c. B. Buchanan Will Build a
$2O,OOO Hotel II a Site
is Given.

The project for a new hotel tina
has been under discussion in this cit!
for some time is at last assuming de
finite shape. Hon. c. B. Ruckmal
will agree to erect a $4,000 hote
building If a suitable site Is furnished
and today subscription list is being
circulated to procure funds to buy
part of lots l and 2 in block N-tht
site where the old court house build
ing now stands. 1t is probable that
the deal will go through all right, as
both sides of the arrangement are in
earnest, and can carry out any
pledges made. The building will be
thoroughly modern in all respects,
and be first-class hotel in ways
creditable to the city.
While in the city a few day ago Mr..
Buchanan took occasion to correct
u statement that certain interests in
the city had opposed his building a
hotel on the East Side. He stated
that the leading property owners on
the West Side had shown entire will
ingness to see him go on with his
project, and would give as fair a
share of any necessary bonus as
could be asked. The attempt to es-
tablish any clash Of interests be-
tween the people OF both sides of the
river who are doing all possible to
advance the city is to be regretted,
and will probably cease as soon as
the true situation is understood.
The site will be 10 feet on Mapel
street by 10 on First, and will cost
about $4,000 Among the large sub
already made are $780, from
J. w. Berg, $500 from Fred Hoffman,
$3.50 from Peter Medved and 5000
from John Wetzel.

necessary that the records be COM
pleted:
BIRCH LAKE CAMP, July Times.
The Glorious Fourth opened up
very favorably and as our party had
nothing else to open, we all lent our
ass istance to old SOL in opening up
the Fourth ofJuly. The Hon. W. l..
Smith delivered the grafton at 4
O'Clock a. m. and to say that he did
the matter justice would be putting
it mild. Commodore Wetzel was in
charge OF the gun boats and fired
several salutes atsunrise, the reports
although extremely loud were scarce
ly heard owing to the "snoring" done
by Commodore Davidson. Our
"bait" is all exhausted and Col. Tan
ner is now out foraging for frogs.
We are all having u most delight
jul time. The weather is perfect and
fish, we'll they are out of sight, all
but fifteen black bass we have
