A NEW CHAPEL.


The Epworth League Of the First
Methodist church is a very active body
of young Christians. Over two years
ago they began Sunday school in tile
eastern part of The city, which has great
ly fiouished. For some two years the
league rented building at tue lower
end of Belknap street, IN which the
school met. The incoming of the Rock
Island railroad drove them out of this
house. This determined the league 10
buy lot and build a house. The matter
was laid before the first church CON
gi,egatiUn, and in less than ten minutes
over $500 was goven with which to
buy lot The purchase was soon made,
and quietly the work has gone forward,
until now, In spite of the hard times, u
nice chapel has been erected. Though
not entirely finished on the inside, It is
in condition for use, and the school has
moved IN. The formal opening Is TO be
ON Sunday afternoon, Mt which time
talks will be made by Judge SteadInan,
Mr.. w L. Bornun, superintendent of
the Sunday school. Rev. w. T. Lloyd and
Rev. w l.. Nelms. The opening exer-
clses will take place promptly ut 1
o'clock, and cordial invitation Is given
to the public generally To attend The
Bpworth league should have the encour-
agcmcnt Of Il full house, The chapel is
on Live Oak street, near Belknap.

backed. All the money went in on these
two. with the others neglected. A few
persons thought the two-year-old Seaside,
with light weight on. had a chance, but
they did not back their opinion very extern
sively, and by post time she was at skies.
Starter Ferguson kept the horses at the
post a long while, Kathleen, the skate,
which Ledgett had entered, causing him
no end OF trouble. and Douglass was a
poor breaker. After three quarters of an
hour, during which they broke away a
dozen times. the flag fell and the scamper
began. Paramatta, who had been I'D the
lead on almost every break. got away a
head behind Motto and at the half pole
had dropped back to third. Prize, who
was third when the word was given. Kept
up in the bunch and when the turn into
the stretch was made she led. Paramatta.
the favorite, was third still, and the big
contingent of bettors ho had plunged on
H0lly's horse began to think the odds
were a little too short for him to win. But
Clancy kept him going along until half
way down the stretch. Then he began to
ride.
The Australian cut down Motto easily,
and there was but the semblance Of con-
test between him and Prize for first place.
The mare struggled along as we'll as she
could. and lasted long enough to beat Abi
2. who was coming fast, by head for the
place. Paramatta won by two lengths in
the fast time of 1871.
EAfter the race the public breathed a
sigh of happiness. The favorlte had won
and more had made money than had lost.
Articus was even more of favorte for
the second race. He so clearly outclassed
his field that 2 to 5 was the best offered
against him. There were other good two
year-olds in the race, too. The hercuean
colt, now called Nelson, R0mulus, Tilie
S, Warrago and Realization are all win
ners, but still the pencilers were willing
TO offer almost anything against them.

If the Blood-horse people had depended
strictly on the merit of the races which
they had prepared for the opening day.
the attendance would have been small

formed were better than everyday selling
platers. Some of them were crabs of the
rankest kind. OF course, Paramatta and
Articus cannot be included in this class.
but the winners of the three events lacked
a great deal OF being stake horses. Still, it
was the opening day. and 80 much had
been written of the wonderful things that
were going to happen that a crowd would
have gone out there if dogs had been an

The first race was over the short three
