KEyrUCKY's FUTURIrY.
The Rich Stake Was Won With Ease by Benux tito.


 Lexington, Ky, Oct. s.-Eight thou sand persons witnessed the great futur- tty. The stake was worth more than any trotting event heretofore offered, the first horse getting S22.4So, the second 5000, the third q, ,o0o and the nominator of the winners dam si,ooo, Axinate. by AStelle Doble); Lyric. by Lanceiot (Wither); Nellie A., by Wilkes Boy (Bowerman); Beauzette, by Onward (Macey; Futurity. by Hinder Wilkes (Evans); Alkoran. by Robert McGregor (Thayer); Celaya, by Allandorf (Weyn). and Norvapdine. by Norval DavisO were the starters.
 With Beauzette. the favorite, out 1t would have been a great race. but she outclassed her field so greatly that she never had the least trouble in winning the rich stake. Drawing last position for the start and not being used to scoring behind other horses caused her to act badly. and they had scored over . dozen times before the word was final ly given. Although she got much the worst of the start she soon began to overtake the leaders, ard just after passing the quarter she was only a length behind and before furlong passed she was leading and trotting as level and perfectly as piece of ma chinery. She came home the easiest sort of winner by several lengths.
 In the second and third heatsr she led from start to finish, winning each time as she pleased. Celaya was sec- ond in the first heat, which gave her third money, but Axinate and Futurity had a strong fight for the second place. Futurity was too speedy for the Axtelle colt and the son of Hinder Wilkes land ed the second money.
 E. w. Ayers of Ducker Station, owner of Beauzette, received In addition to the stake the money which went to the nominator of the winners dam.

MILL MEN AS FIRM AS EYER.

A General Private Meeting Was Held but Nothing Done.
 Fall River, Mass, Oct. 9.-Manufac- turers who are bound in action by the ironclad agreement signed nine or ten weeks ago held general private meet ing this afternoon at the Manufactur- ers' association rooms. The Fall River
 Iron Works, Durfee, sagamore, Kerr and Seaconnat corporations were not represented. Their mills are in full op- eration, some under the reduced scale, others under the scale adopted last year.
 The immediate purpose of the meet ing was to listen to a letter from the mayor asking for the resumption of work in the mills in order to relieve
 suffering and incidentally to listen to soma suggestions which have been made from time to time to members of the executive committee by maaufac- turers and outsiders. The manufactur- CTS, though differing with the mayor politically, had no fault to find with his letter, but this cannot be said to be the feelings of tlhe operatives. These latter have the impression that Mayor Cough lin interfered at a time when the man. ufacturers were preparing on their own
 account to make some proposition lock- ing toward the early opening of the mills under a slightly increased scale. After reading the letter the meeting en- tered into an animated general discus sion of the situation and means of rem edying 1t. There were nearly as many views expressed as there were mem bers
 About 43o the manufacturers emerg- ed from their quarters and reporters were told "the nlill men are firm as ever in their position. Ws will meet again tomorrow. Nothing definite was done to-day"
 Later it was learned a committee was appointed to sound various manufac- turers and see if there could be any proposition formulated.

Brook, VII whitew.shed Boston.

Boston, Oct. 9.-The second game be- tween the Brooklyn and Boston football teams resulted in . whitewash to the home club. The blocking and inter- ference of the visitors was very grod. The redeeming feature on the part of the Bostons was the goal-tending of Irv- ing, the kicking of Cunliffe, the wing play of A. Jenkins and the defAnse of Edwards. From the sound of the ref eree's whistle to the end of the first time limit Brooklyn forced the play. After one minutes play Tobin of Rrook- lyn was injured, but resumed play, only to retire from the game soon. Ban mister taking his place and doing great work.

Good Work Performed by It Under the
 Charge ot an Expert. .,nn
 Newport, R. l., Oct. 9.-Remington g. gun No. 5, which was received this morning. was the object of tests by the naval small arms board this afternoon. This gun differs from Nos. 8 and as No. 2 differs from No. 1, solely in maga- zine action, and is regarded by the com- pany as an improvement over other designs. It was in charge of MT. Fay, with MT. Morris as an expert in the handling of the gun.
 All the tests applied to the other guns were used for this and all were suc- cessfully passed. In the test for accu- racy and rapidity the expert fired twen- ty shots in one minute, scored eighteen hits, and in two minutes fired twenty five shots with twenty-one hits.
 Tine non-expert, 8 seaman gunner at tached to the torpedo station, fired twenty shots in one minute forty-five seconds, nineteen hits, and within two minutes fired twenty-nine shots, all hits Though not familiar with this gun, this non-expert is evidently no novice in the use of firearms.
 In disassembling and assembling the gun the time occupied by the expert and non-expert was four minutes thirty three seconds and seven minutes two seconds respectively for taking apart. and ten minutes nineteen seconds and eleven minutes twenty-seven seconds for assembling. A
 Tomorrow the gun will be subjected to the dust test. Remington No. 2 was also tested in 250 rounds for magazine action and No. 4 for rapidity and ac- curacy, both with satisfactory. results, and No. was given the sal-ammoniac bath for the rust test.
