Wednesdays race proved the most eX-
citing of the meeting, but the crowd,
although larger than on the previous
days, was far from what the manage
meut could wish. The 237 class had
but three starters, and was won handily
in three straight heats. while Ludlow,
who had already won second money in
races each previous day, repeated the
performance.
The 2.24 class was a surprise. The
first two heats Venture had things about
his own way, and looked Il likely Win
ner, but in the third both Camille and
CyleX contested the claim, and it was Il
good race from wire to wire, the latter
horse winning out by half length
This pleased the crowd, as did also the
next heat which was of much the same
osder, Camille winning. The fifth heat
was trotted at dusk, again these three
horses fought it out At the close they
finished Venture, first, Camille, second,
Cylex third, but a questionable drive by
Camille's driver caused the Judges to
give the heat to Cylex, and Camille was
set back to last place. The race is to be
finished at p. NJ. to-day.

AN OBSCURE MORAL.
An Ohio Nc Kinley Journal Gets some what

The leading Mckinley journal OF
Ohio recently protested philanthropic-
ally against the enactmedt Of the Will
sen bill upon the ground that 1t would
reduce the wages of workmen in Eu-
rome. This was an unexpected argu-
ment. bit there is something still more
surprising in the estimate OF the New
York Tribune. of Tuesday last, that the
enactment of the bill will cause de-
crease of about about 30 per cent. IN
