E SOME HORSE RACING

Our popular merchant, Hubert Thom- as, is the owner of horse that has shown some speedy qualities of late, so much so that when last week he trotted mile in 2.34, his enthusiastic admirers at once decided that he was the fastest horse in this section and laid their plans for race between him and "Oxford Chief.'' A few of the local horsemen had an idea that although the latter horse made record of ?. .22 and 1-2, last fall, because he made it on one-mile track, that on the wonderful Conetia park three minutes. Accordingly they ar ranged to have sOxford Chief's'' owner bring him down, Saturday morning, just to drive with ssRed Dan.'' Saturday being stormy the drive did not material ize Monday morning MT Hungerford drave down with "Oxford Chief'' and his appearance on Bank street was the signal for a general stampede to the park.

Not until that minute did Hungerford realize that the boys were in for blood, but although he had not speeded his horse at all this season, he is not the man to back down, so he borrowed some boots and sealpers and booted aOxford Chief up the.best he could, and soon ap- peared upon the track. It was decided to drive only one-half mile heats and after scoring a few times the horses were sent away and in just about 10 sec onds the admirers of ssRed Dan, 1" who had bet their cigars, etc., on him. real ized that they had ssbit off more than they could chew, ; for almost as soon as they were away ssRed Dan'' was off his feet and staid off most of the time.

MT Editor: News in Marbledale is very scarce, as scarce as hens teeth. Much no doubt, could be written about the French blockade of Siam, or the row in
 the House of Commons or base ball
 games. No doubt, too, the columns of THE BEE might teem with Solomon's
 wisdom and advice to the coming Con- gress which meets on August7. Advice as to what ought to be done with the silver purchasing clause. and as to what action should be taken with respect to the tariff whether speedy or tardy leg islation should be the aim or the men

 las, the painting of barns and houses of all sorts and sizes, the length of cu- cumbers, and the size of eggs which some ones hens have laid accidentally,
 the latest new bonnet which Mrs Gossip has, the latest freak of some mother-in- law, the building of fence which has l been in ruins for generation, the pur- | chase of a horse or 9 brand new COW,
 etc. But it is not always possible to get hold of such startling news, unless person be a sort of omnipresent busy body. And to be that is not always conducive to the maintenance of a good name. So, Mir Editor, your cores pondent will have to disappoint you this week in regard to the tragedy and con- edy of human life in this place for the past seven days.
