where the state penitentiary is located,
a grand demonstration of the order was
made. and escorted by the committee of
entertainment, and on the invitation of
the warden, the prison was visited
While passing through one OF the de-
partments he noticed one poor fellow
whose face bore traces Of such great
suffering. and had SO elevated its eX-
Dression that it would have served as
an ideal for a saint. The distinguished

moment to take more particular notice
of him, when the prisoner, raising his
ewes toward heaven as it in prayer,
made a sign of distress, and then as it
frightened at what he had done, bowed
his head and resumed his work with
greater application than before, not

A Birmingham Enterprise Takes a
 Hand in the Race Meet
BY MAKING AN OFFER
Towards Its Establishment, Which Speaks Well-ReSultS
 on the Turf.

Yesterday was put in by Messrs. Mo- Mahon and Fox, the Kansas City horse- men in getting acquainted here as widely as possible, and at the same time making moves that wilPtend to make the winter race meet a success.
 They spent the day in laying the situa tion before the influential men who are willing to take hand in the affair aud met with all the success that could be ex- pected.
 Everybody seems to be right in for the races and there is a decided interest being displayed in the matter from the fact that it has been four years since there has been any racing here.
 numbe of the influential business men here have taken hand in the affair and say that the meet will be certainty, and that it will be carried on in a manner that will be successful and will warrant the SUD- port of the people.
 As far as donations towards running ex- penses until the meet gets on paying basis are concerned not single dollar has been asked of any person as yet, although there has been a large number of men who have volunteered to do their share and without solicitation. Yesterday the Bir- mingham Railway and Electric company, a $1OOO.
 An organization will probably be effected today, and when this is done committee will be sent around to take subscriptions to pay running expenses for the first two weeks. for after that time it will be self sustaining as far as the paying of expenses is concerned, and this is all that Is ex. pected. The donations outside of the one made by the Birmingham Railway and Electric company are expected to reacn $2OG0 or S2500, and there is little doubt but this amount can be secured with little trouble.
 Messrs. McMahon and Fox went out and looked at the track and building yesterday, and upon their return Mir. McMahon said to an AGE-HERALD reporter;
 track and buildings are the finest quarters for wintering and for carrying on race meet in the south, and If this meet Is made successful, which it will, it will bring Bir- mingham up and make 1t one of the finest racing ceuters south of the Ohio river.
 "With every advantage here under the sun don't see why the people should not have three months' race meet without
 HWe are pushing the thing for all it is worth, and with a little assistance from the citizens it will be go. With this assist auce all that will have to be done is to organize an association of influential citi- Jsns, and the sooner this is done the bet ter. A soon as this is done we can get any umb Der of horses up to 400. To show you how the people take it, ihe Birming- ham Railway anu Electric company sub scribed $1000.
 Messrs. McMahon and Fox are well known on the American turf, and were here at the inaugural meet of the Birming- ham Jockey club in 1890, and with the vim that they have gone into the matter all that remains to be done is for the people to come to the front.
