Seven Races and Some Grand Times
at Sheepshead BaY.

Sheepshead Bay Race Track, Aug. %
There were seven races on the programme
to-day, among them being the Bellies and
Flight stakes. The attendance was very
large, and an afternoon Of good sport was
INDUCED in. One of the biggest plunges
of the year was made on Golden Rod to
win the second race. All the heavy
plungers were aboard, and her opening
price was posted at to /. She closed in
active demand at even money, and it is
estimated that several fortunes were dis
sipated by the flly's defeat. She ran
a superb race, but Tinge, a to I shot,
ran a trife better, and got the decision
The third race was supposed to be fore

race resolved itself into a struggle,

to hold his own and finally making it a
dead heat. The Bellies stakes, dash of

the next event on the card. the Flight
stakes for 2-year-olds and upwards, was
robbed of much interest by domino evad-
ing meeting with Clifford. Lady Violet
at the fall of the flag went TO the front
and the task she set was terrific. AT the
far turn Clifford began to wear down her
lead, and after the wing into the
stretch they were Tapped on TO
each other. Soon they were on even
terms. Griffin then began to ride Clifford
with hands and heels, but Lady Violet,
driven tor all she was worth, hung TO him
with bulldog tenacity to the end. Cliff
ford finally forged. to the front amid in
tense excitement and won a grand race
by a head. His time of rs % lowers

ON THE TENTED FIELD.
Industrial Parade and Illumination
in Honor of the Pythians.


Washington, Aug. 80. - The visiting
Pythians had an inspection and review
this afternoon on the White lot, great
oval field south of The white house. Four
o'clock was the hour set for the event,
but it was an hour later before the head
of the column marched past Mai. Gen.
Carnahan and his staff, brilliantly uni
formed and mounted on horses gaily
caparisoned.
Thousands of people witnessed the re-
view and the police arrangements were
so perfect that the field was Kept clear
for the participating Knights. Owing to
the lateness of the hour, half the Pyth-
ians only about 1000 in number, took
part in the review.
In honor of the visiting Pythians an in
duStrial parade was held this evening on
Pennsylvania avenue Judging from the
great number of spectators it proved the
most attractive feature of the
encampment. The wide avenue was
never more effectively decorated
at night and the capitol appeared blaze
of light on scale never attempted hereto
fore. For the first time in the history of
the big white building the figure of the
goddess of liberty surrounding the dome
was strong with electric lights and illu-
minated.
Prize drills were held on the grounds of
the Washington base ball park, beginning
at o'clock this morning. 1t was not to
be expected that much of crowd would
gather at that early hour, but a great
number of commands entered for prizes,
and the fact that the Washington and
Cincinnati base ball clubs are to use the
grounds this afternoon made it necessary
that the drills should begin at the time
set.
The competing organizations and their
friends made goodly crowd Half an
hour was allowed each division, as the
companies are called, TO go through the
prescribed movements. Each division is
composed of twenty-four knights, with
two guides, three officers and a MAJOR
general. Canadians Tactics and Rules
for Competitive Drills" governed the
contests

GEORGIA REPUBLICANS.
Session of the State Convention in At
lanta-Au Day OratorY.

Atlanta, Ga, Aug. 29.-The state re-
publican convention, which met here this
morning, is SHINY attended. Very few
white delegates are present. The colored
wing has complete control, but it is di-
vided into two factions Henry johnson,
a negro lawyer of Butts county, was
elected temporary chairman. A commit
tee on credentials was appointed. Pend
ing the report OF the committee the con
vention could not be permanently or
gained The entire day was spent in
speaking.
Permanent organization was not effected
until late this afternoon. A fight was
soon sprung over the nomination of a
state ticket. One faction wanted to in
dorse the pOpulist ticket. a second fac
ton insisted on putting out a straight
republican ticket. and third
element favored letting members of the
party do as they pleased about voting for
candidates. After many speeches and
much squabbling, ii was resolved not TO
put out a republican ticket. Then the
proposition TO indorse the populist candi-
dates was defeated. RepU blicaus, how
ever, were PIT on notice that they must
not enter democre tic primaries or eau
cuses.
The platform Endorsed the Minneapolis
platform of 1892, declared for a liberal
pension policy, a protective tariff an in
crease in the currency, the Nicaragua
canal, the cotton states exposition 10 be
held in Atlanta next year, and declared
against lynching. The financial plank
says I'VE favor the coinage of
all the available silver product of Ameri-
can mines" After demanding that par
ity be maintained, the plank goes on to
say; I'VE denounce the Democratic party
for its hostility to silver after solemnly
pledging to the country its purpose in ia
vor of the coinage, and whose leaders ev-
erywhere gave the people assurances
friendly TO this precious metal, whose
use as money is as old as recorded history,
ana who, after such assurances and after
many promises not intended to be kept,
shamelessly violated every pledge and
every promise given, and at the same
time the confidence of that portion of the
people they had deluded into the belief
that they we're sincere"
The convention adjourned at II O'Clock
tonight

KNOWLEDGE

Brings comfort and improvement and
tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup of Figs.
Its excellence is due to its presenting

Albany, Ca, Aug. 29.-The congress
sional convention of the populists for the
Second district met in this city at II
o'clock this morning and nominated
William E. Smith of Decatur county by
reclamation.
Every county in the district except
Baker was represented, and the feature
of each delegation was its col0red contin-
gent. Each delegation was made up
equally of white and colored delegates,
showing that the third party proposes to
bait the negro into voting their ticket
Several prominent republicans of the
district we're hobnobbiug with the dele
gates, indicating that there will be
fusion Of third party people and repub-
Hcans in the coming elections.
DR.. j. H. Pickett of Worth county pre-
sided over the convention in both its tenn
porary ana permanent organization.
j. H. Parish of Poulan, Worth county,
made the speech of the occasion In
asking to be excused from the convention
in order to catch an early train, he said
he had slipped away from his wife and it
was necessary for him to be at home at a
certain hour in order to preserve the con-
cord of his family circle. The inference
was that Parish's wife was a democrat,
and was not putting up with any of his
third party foolishness when she knew it.
The parliamentary conduct of the con-
vention was extraordinary, and exceed
ingly amusing, but entirely satisfactory
to the members of the convention There
were numerous attempts at spread eagle
oratory, but the old bird was not in the
humor for soaring, and the pyrotechnic
display was a fiZZle

been done in Pittsburg for September

"A significant fact is that American cot

here yesterday from Berrien county that
An energetic farmer there set fire to his
fodder the other day. 1t seems that he
was trying 20 stack his fodder before the
rain came that afternoon, and the fodder
"bulged out" and fell from the pole three
times in succession, after he had about
completed the stack as many times. The
last attempt vexed him. The rain had
begun to fall in drops here and there, and
the fodder bulged for the third time,
throwing him down beside the foot of the
pole. Wearied of the task, the man fired
the fodder. The rain never came, but
the fodder was burned.

Lake Park, Ca, Aug. 29.-Ben Phelps,
a young negro, spotted another negro
Sunday and had the sheriff arrest him as
the murderer of John Clark in Jones
county two years ago. He stated to the
sheriff that large reward was offered
for his capture, and it seems he has been
living at the sheriff's expense for the last
two or three days, incidentally trying TO
beat the sheriff out of money.
II proved this evening that he was the
murderer, so he was arrested. All effort
TO arrest the murderer had been given up.
and 1t is probable that the negro would
have continued free had he not had the
other negro arrested Sunday. He CON
tessed the crime and claimed that the
Killing was done in self defense.
