by firing pistol. Greer took the lead,
which he increased TO length at the
quarter pole, closely followed by Stamp.
At the half the men in the rear squirt
ed and closed up the distance between
them and the leaders. The race be-
came very exciting. On the last quarter,
Henry Mahlke and Stamp, who had
been saving their strength, each made a
pretty squirt, and passed the other con-
testants. 1t was a hard battle between
the two for first place. Mahlke, how
ever, proved the victor, coming under
the wire few feet In the lead, In 3:l9.
Stamp second, Max Mahlke third, Greer
fourth.
The prizes were two handsomely up
holstered rocking chairs, valued at $50.
ANOTHER TRoT
There had been considerable wran-
Cling all afternoon between owners OF
horses who were not permitted to enter
them in the different races. AS the
pony race did not come off, it was de-
cided that "kickerS' race" be made,
for prizes aggregatipg SIS. This was a
free-for-all trot, mile heats, best two In
three. The entries were "Nobby," by
Louis Probe, TONY" by Chas. Hancher,
Gypsy Queen" by Bucky Jones, and
Kramer" by Fred Kramer.
"Nohy" took the lead in the first heat
aud was passed by Toby" with the
Others fighting hard for third place.
The leaders were neck and neck In the
stretch, but "Nobby" passed under the
wire a few feet in the lead. The second
heat was contested by "Nobby" and
"Tonay" and won by the former, "Gyp-
sy Queen" taking third money. Time,
2'54 and 2:461a.

he could participate under the condi-
tions upon which the race was made.
The men started together, and were
punched at the quarter. After that,
Edwards spurted, and passed several
men, closely followed by Ed. McAninch
and Mercer. Edwards easily increased
his lead, and came under the wire In
2:17 2-5, Ed. McAnlnch second, and
Mercer third.
THE PACING RACE.
The pacing race was won by Burns
& Church's "Bill," driven by Frank
Church, in three straight heats. The
other horses entered were Virginia
Wilkes" by Ed. Anderson, and "Billy
D." by G. S. MeGee, Of Bellaire. Some
excitement was created before the
start in the first heat, by "BilI" throw
ing his driver by making short turn,
below the judges stand.
"Blll' took the lead In the first heat,
but broke. The other horses also
broke, and "Bill" maintained his ad-
vantage. When he recovered his feet
ne made one of the prettiest spurts ever
seen on the track. His driver was I'M
able TO hold him in. The other animals
never showed front, "Bil" coming in
first, "Wllkes" second. Time, 2:34jI.
"Bill" took the lead again in the
second heat, and although pushed close
~ by Wilkes, managed to keep it. Both
animals behaved badly. Time, Pal.
The third and last heat was but a repe-
tition Of the second, but the time was
considerably better, "BIll" finishing in
2:3711.

TIE MORNING PARADE.

The Competition OF the Column and the
Events Of the March.
At nine o'clock Chief Marshal Purcell
and his staff and the marshals Of the
various divisions were on Chapline
street ready to oversee the formation OF
the parade, while at the various halls
throughout the city, but especially at
the headquarters Of the Trades As
sembly, on Market street, members OF
the various organizations were gather
ing, preparatory to marching to the aD-
pointed rendezvous. At half past nine
many organizations were ready for
start, aud by quarter of ten all but
one or two were in line in their reSpec-
tive divisions, ChaDline street, from
Twelfth to Fourteenth and the cross
streets in that vicinity, were well filed
with spectators, watching the arrival OF
the organizations, and the streets in
that part of town were gay with ban
ners and bright with colored umber-
elias, while the music OF half dozen
bands added to the interest and excite
ment.
At five minutes OF ten the division
marshals reported everything In readi-
ness, and as the big bell on the City
Hall sounded ten o'clock the command
to move was given, and the head Of the
column turned into Twelfth street from
Chapline, aud the parade was on its
way.
The formation of the column was as
follows:
Mountain State Bicycle Club,
Chief Marshal-JoSeph Purcell.
Stan-Chief OF StafT-john MinEemeyer. Aides
&c. w. Clifton. Thomas Fox, Charles
Stein, II. A Foster. Gabriel Jack
son. George Coleman.
Lieutenant George w. GauS.
Sixteen Police in two Platoons.
Wheeling Sunday register. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1882-1934, 1893-08-27
Team Owners Association. IS men.
Miscellaneous WAGONS and Carriages.

In all there were about one thousand
men in line, and the parade was fine
one, although not as large as some in
former years, owing TO the absence OF
numerous organizations, not only from
this city, but from the surrounding
towns as well. Still those in charge
have every reason to congratulate
themselves, 10 view OF the prevailing
hard times, and the absence from the
city or hundreds OF working men, at
fishing camps and elsewhere.
The column moved down Twelfth
street to Main, south on Main to TWEEN
fourth, east on Twenty-fourth to Chap
line, north on Chapline to Twentieth,
west on Twentieth TO Market, north on
Market to Tenth, west on Tenth TO
Main, and south on Main TO Bridge
Place, whence the procession crossed
the steel bridge TO the Island, and pro-
ceeded TO the State Fair grounds by way
of South Penn street, the head OF the
column arriving at the grounds about
Quarter after eleven o'clock. The route
was a short one, as compared with some
other parades had In this city, but II
was long enough with the sun shining
brightly and the mercury approaching
ninety degrees at lively rate, and there
wasn's man in the column, when the
march was over, but was glad the tramp
hadn't been made further south than
Twenty-fourth street.
An alone the line the sidewalks,
especially on the shady side Of the
streets, were thronged with people,
and at least fifteen thousand spectators

THE FOOT RACE.

In order to hold the crowd, the
Judges announced that the foot race
would next be contested. There was
wrangle about the selection Of judges,
the Martins Ferry men desiring TO
choose one. This point was conceded,
and they selected j. A. Moore. The
Wheeling sprinters chose Everett
Kumm, and Ed. Holiday was selected
as the third. bob" Anderson was
starter.
The following persons were entered
FOR the race: Robert Edwards, Of Kt-
uavilIe; Ollie McAninch and Edward
McAnineh, of the Independent Hose
team Of Martins Ferry; Bert Mercer,

THE PICNIC.
over Five Thousand People Present ut the
Fair Grounds.

over Five Thousand People Present ut the
Fair Grounds.
The parade in the morning was but
secondary in interest to the festivities
at the Fair Grounds in the
afternoon. The parade was proba-
bly, not as large as former years, but the
picnic was as well attended, and as sue
cessfully conducted as ever.
The crowd was immense. At o'clock
a REGISTER reporter called at zach OF
the three enhance gates and secured
figures upon which to base the estimate
that over five Thousand people were on
the grounds, exclusive of the privilege
holders and the number who secured
"fence tickets" There was no end OF
amusements and catch-penny devices
on the grounds. The Assembly had
provided an attractive programme
of races, which divided the
interest of the crowd with
the seductive song OF the fakir,
and the dance platforms. Every scheme
for enticing the festive nlckels from the
pockets Of the throng OF men. women
and children was in operation at differ
ent points, and all appeared TO be doing
a thriving business. There were oaoY
racks, blowing, weighing and striking
machines, shooting galleries and ring
games galore.
THE FERRIS WHEEL
in miniature was always the centre OF
curious crowd, and fifteen hundred
people took whirl in the atmosphere
az a nickel whirl. The peanut ven
ders were out in force, and several TIN
type factories were gratifying the van
ty of the boys and girls.
The dancing platforms were crowded
during the entire afternoon and early
evening. The large Pavilion was re-
served for the white people, and 1t was
at times so packed that the dancers
could scarcely move. Mayors band
made excellent music. Over in ma
chinery hall another platform had been
erected for the colored folks, and Nc
Cleuand's orchestra made the music.
Although it was decidedly warm In the
building, it was thronged by the dusky
beaux and bellies, and many white per-
sons who stood about as spectators.
The bars near the main building and
under the grand stand, could scarcely
supply the demands Of the thirsty
multitude. Some imbibed to freely, as
matter OF course, and there were
number OF disturbances, none OF which
proved serious.
A FINANCIAL SUCCESS.
OF course everybody had good time,
but what is OF more Importance to the
Trades Assembly, the picnic was a de-
cided success from a financial stand
point The chairmen Of the different
committees met last night at Gruber's
cigar store, with the Treasurer of the
Assembly, and counted up the receipts
and expenses. The calculation showed
handsome balance on the right side. No
figures were given out, but 1t was OIL
cially stated that as much money was
made as last year, when the net profit OF
the picnic was about 81, 300.
Most OF the prizes were paid last
night, and the remainder will be settled
to-day and tomorrow.

The races during the afternoon proved
a big drawing card. The fence was
lined with people all around the track,
and the grand stand was comfortably
filed. The Assembly offered good prizes
for the speed contests, but they were
rather disappointing. The bicycle aud
foot races, however, were very inter
esting.

interesting of the afternoon. II was

TAME RACE.

and William Gruber and Richard Rob

keeper. The second race was trot,
mile heats, best two in three, for purse
of SIS. This was the tamest race
ever witnessed on the grounds. The
first heat was fairly interesting. The
entries were "Old Skates" by John Pat
terson; "Joe Ward" by Capt. William
Prince; and "Air Castle" The horses
got off well together, and "Skates" aud
Ward" kept together for a while. In
fact it appeared that their drivers
tried TO keep them together.
"Skates" was an easy winner In
2:57j5. The second heat was dull
and uninteresting. Skates" again took
the lead. "Ward" broke badly, and
"Skates" waited for him to recover. "Air
Castle" was about quarter Of mile In
the rear. IL seemed like nearly half an
honr before the horses passed under the
wire. and when the time was announced
as 4:3O, it was disputed by great many
persons. who had caught the time on
the capitol clock. In the third heat,
"Skates" and Ward were the only con
testants, and "Skstes" won easily In
800.
