A Good DAVIS Sport.

On the afternoon of the Fourth the
Alpena Driving Club opened their mag
nificent and fast half mile track to about
800 people. The weather was beautiful,
the heat being tempered by a northerlv
breeze. The four races were we'll con-
tested, being extremely interesting to the
spectators, and the general verdict was
that the track and grand stand were as
good as could be made. The horsemen
were greatly pleased with the track, which
has proved TO be one of the fastest In the
country.
The grand stand, large as 1t is, was
filed with people, and the fact was DEM
onstrated that one twice as large would
not have been too big. 1t is comfortably
arranged the seats are easy, and the
view Of the entire track Is unobstructed,
giving the spectator on opportunity to
see the horses on every portion of the track
A great deal Of work has yet to be done
before it is finished. The platform built
between the stand and the track, will
hold hundreds OF people, and was "a
vorite place for sportsmen to discuss the
merits OF the horses.
Bets were mostly small, five dol.
lars being the ones commonly made. In
the result Of the free for all race q good
deal Of money changed hands, and one Of
the stake holders on the platform held
$40 bet by admirers Of Laundry Girl and
Nichols. In the basement Of the grand
stand pools we're sold and considerable
amount Of money changed ownership.
The third heat of the three year old race
was the most exciting Of the day. Lady
B had won the first heat, and two veal
old colt, McGregor, won the second. In
the third heat Lady b lost by breaking
and when the home stretch was reached
the colt was we'll ahead, and 1t seemed q,
II he was going to win the heat. Lady
b gradually gained inch by inch, and JUS
as the two passed under the wire Lady
B managed to get head and neck II
front. The excitement was immense ant
the colt was loudly chccrcd for his goot
work.

Base Ball.

The game OF base ball at the fair ground
on the forenoon Of the Fourth, between
the Mystics, Of Alpena, and the Bay City
club, was one Of the most interesting to
the spectators ever witnessed in this city.
The game commenced very unfavorable
to the home club, as the visitors scored
three runs OH the first innings, and ut the
end Of the fourth innings six OF the Bay
City team had crossed the home plate,
while the Mystics did not make score.
The fifth innings frightened the prospects
OF the home club, and three runs were
made. The excitement was manifest by
this time, and the noise made by the
several hundred spectators was uproar-
Gus. 1t was jolly audience, now that
club was passed, and 1t seemed as IL
every one present was taking an active
part with his voice. The people were
very fair, and cheered good work on
either side. Mistakes made by fielders
Of either club were sarcastically critlsed,
and In tone of voice that could be heard
all over the ball field.
The work done by the Mystics In the
fifth and sixth innings was notable fol-
its excellence, and the fine fielding was
especially interesting to ball players. In
one the Bay City club had three men or
bases and no man out, but such good
ball playing was done by the Mystics
that the three men died on the bases. 1t
was an exciting time until the third mar
had been put out. In the seventh innings
a wild throw to first gave the visitors
four runs. In the first four innings the
Mystics had man on third base several
times.
The Mystics were badly crippled. The
pitcher was unable to throw curved balls
owing to wound on his right wrist receiv.
ed few days previous from piece of glass
The catcher had to catch with disabled
left arm, and the regular first baseman was
out Of town. The boys had very little
time to practise previous to the game
consequently it is wonder they played
as well as they did. A long throw from
right field to home plate In time to put
out man, was one Of the many goot
plays on the part Of the Mystics.
The visitors played fine game during
the first four innings, and their fielding
was free from errors. The score by in
nings was:

Story of 0ffenbach's Charming Comic
Opera, The Princess of Trebi-
z0nde."

The scene Is laid In Tuscany at tho end
OF the sixteenth century. A company Of
strolling Mountebanks have pitched their
tents on one side Of street. and lottery
against selling tickets to raffie of large
estate and castle on the other. The
Mountebanks are In despair at the bad
business, and also on account OF the
breaking OF their piece of wax work called
"The Princess OF Trebizonde." The
daughter of the manager puts on her gown
and stands In her place, Just as the young
prince happens in to see the show. He
Is In care OF his tutor, who allows him no
money, so he drops a lottery ticket he
has gotten hold of, In the hat Instead OF
coin. Singular enough, 1t wins the estate,
to the surprise of the Mountebanks.
Their farewell to the booth ends the first
act OF the opera.
The second act opens on the new, grand
home Of the Mountebanks, who find their
new dignities do not fit we'll. They are
bored and indulge In some OF their old
tricks in order to pass the time. At that
moment hunting party headed by the
Prince rushes across their lawn. He rec
ognizes Zanetta and plans to pass her off
again on his father as wax. He finds she
returns his passion and the plan is formed
to have them all invited to the Castle and
the collection OF wax work with them.
The Rondo Of the Princess ends the Sec
ond act.
Act third takes place In the Art Gallery
OF Prince Cassimir, he having appointed
Carbriola manager OF his museum, and
fearing what might be said by his neigh
bors, loads him with honors. He dis
covers that the young Prince is playing
over some Of his old tricks, and lays In
watch to catch him hobnobbing with "a
Meta and the Mountebank's family.
Prince Raphael turns the tables by show
ing some old letters that prove the Prince
had himself married Mountebank, and
thus wins his fathers consent TO their
union. The Brass Band rehearsal ends
the opera
