THE SECOND DAY
OF THE GREAT FALL MEET OF THE
SAN ANTONIO JOCKEY CLUB,
A Rousing Success-Large Attend
ance-Liberal Purses and Pop
ularity of the Club Extolled
and Appreciated by Horse
men, as Well as the
People Outside of
the City.

When people awoke yesterday
morning and found the heavens
obscured by dark. and ominous
looking clouds that betokened rain,
little did they extend hope for such
a grand day for racing as it after.
forwards turned out to be.
Excursion trains on all the rail-
roads leading into San Antonio
brought in large crowds, who spent
the morning looking at the places
of interest in and around the
quaint and beautiful city of the
Alamo; and in the afternoon visit
ed the races. The accommoda-
ton of the electric cars under the
able management Of Superinten-
dent Randall proved ample, and
the crowds were handled with
regularity.
The turnstiles registered twenty
five hundred people at the entrance
gates yesterday.
Excitement and animation was
more noticeable than the day pre-
vious. The losers had replenish-
ed their purses and seemed eagar
to renew their fray and redeem
their loss, while those who won
the day before, were moro than
anxious to back their good judg-
ment and double up.
Well, suffice it to say, that all
realized their expectations, and
many a one was seen to dig deep
into his trOuser pockets in order to
scratch up enough for car fare, and
walking, by others was claimed to
be the advice of their physician
and walk they did. This sporting
life comes high, but we must have
it.

As soon as the last precinct was in each
crowd began cheering for its particular
candidate, but the confusion was
drowned out by the vociferous music Of
the band. Finally the ballot was figured
up and the chair announced the following
as the official result:
Joyce 81; Young. 22s; Bowlus, 10;
Grubbs, 43; Wallace, a; Ryan, %.
There were several surprises in this bal
lot not the least of which was the great
strength developed by Mr. Bowlus.
The next ballot proceeded in short order,
and 1t was soon seen that the race lay
entirely between Messrs Joyce and Young.
Bowluss strength rapidly went to pieces,
name was withdrawn. few precincts
further on the name of Grubbs was with
drawn, still further narrowing the race
down. As the ballot proceeded it became
apparent that Joyce going TO be away
IN the lead, as nearly all the strength left
Bowlus went to him. while most of the
Ryan and Grubbs vote went to Young
When the ballot finished the figures
or two or three individuals who had kept
tabs showed the nomination of Joyce by
Two votes, and there was a scene OF re-
nlarkable enthusiasm following the close
or the roll call The Thirteenth Ward dele
gatlOn, which was seated in the rear of the
hall, pressed to the front and pulled Joyce
OIL the stage and nearly pulled his arm
off with concentrations Not satisfied with
this, four stalwart men hoisted him on
their shoulders, and while the band struck

yelling itself hoarse for Joyce. Ii was
some minutes before order was restored,
and when IL was the convention found a
surprise in store for them. Joyce was
not yet nominated. The official count gave
him 4O6 votes out of total of S14 cast,
requiring 4OS to nominate. Sadly disap-
pointed though Mr.. Joyce's friends were.
there was murmur of dissent and they
sailed bravely in for another ballot. When
1t got to the Second ward the vote of the
whole ward was announced as 81 for Joyce
and for Young. This was challenged, and
the vote was called by precincts giving
Mr.. Young secured recognition and moved
the nomination of Mr.. Joyce by accama-
ton. This offered such a happy solution
OF the situation that the convention adopted
the motion with wild demonstrations of
pleasure, and for a moment it would have
been hard TO tell whether Mr.. Joyce or
his chief opponent, so generous in defeat
was more popular with the convention

SCHMIDT FOR TREASURER.
He Is Nominated Before the Second
ballot Is COmpIeted.

The race for treasurer was perhaps the
most exciting one, for there were four can
didates and the strength of each only
to be determined by ballot. 1t was not
known what effect the withdrawal of
weaker candidate at the end of ballot
would have on a succeeding ballot. Chair
man Adams split another board in his table
in quieting the hum of voices preparatory
to taking a vote. William H. Schmidt was
placed in nomination by the Seventh ward,
which also cast its solid vote for the popu-
lar business man. Roger r. Shiel, Philip
Reichwein and John j. Johnson were named
as the other candidates. The Eighth ward
supported Mr.. Reichwein throughout, giving
him thrty-five votes. Mr.. Shiel did not de-
velop the strength he expected. When the
first ballot was completed 1t seen that
Mr.. Schmidt was far in the lead, but ne did
not have a majority. Mr.. Schmidt had far
the best of the First ward, the Second ward
was split up and Mr.. Scmidt having the adj
vantage considerably in the Third. The
first ballot announced as follows:
Schmidt 1856; Shiel. Isl; Johnson. 1SS; Reich
wen 132. The ballot by precincts:
The Indianapolis journal. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1867-1904, 1894-04-15

Mr.. Moores, of the county committee, had
the band play just as the first ballot was
completed that unnecessary noise might
be avoided The second ballot was begun
without much confusion. The first two
wards showed gains for Mr.. Schmidt. and
when the Thirty-first precinct was reached
Mr.. Shiel appeared on the stage and with
drew his name after making a speech of
several minutes. He said there no
aching in his heart at defeat, for Ii was
not essential that he should have an office.
He could provide for his family otherwise.
He said he could not be anything but a Re-
publican; he. was an American and so was
the Republican party. Mr. Shiel made some
reference to the manner in which he failed
to be nominated and there were a number
of protests, but in a minute the convention
was quiet again. A large portion of Mr..
Shells vote went to Mr.. Schmidt, who also
made gains from other sources. When the
One hundred-and fifty ninth precinct was
reached attention was called to the smiling
face Of Mr.. Reichwein. who had come to
the front of the stage to withdraw in favor
of Mr.. Schmidt. The Chair, however, de-
cided to complete the roll, but at Decatur
township Mr.. Johnson stepped forward and
withdrew and the roll was never ended Mr..
Schmidt being declared the nominee by ac-
clama ton. Several hundred made a rush
for the victor and had him on stout Shout
derS carrying him around the hall with the
Old-time Republican enthusiasm.

HOW MIR. SHILLING WON.
He Was Nominated After Mr.. Krnuse
Had n Big Lead.

Immediately after the announcement of
the result of the ballot for treasurer and
while Mr.. Schmidt's friends were still
carrying him around the room on their
shoulders Mr.. Carter arose and caught the
attention of the chairman. 1t was several
minutes before the confusion incident TO
the congratulation of Mr. Schmidt by his
friends had subsidized sufficiently for Mr..
Carter to be heard. When he finally adj
dressed the chair he moved the adoption
of the eagle the emblem of the Repub-
lcan party to be used on the ballots in
the coming election. The mention of the
time-honored emblem of the Republican
party was sufficient to again throw the
convention into the widest applause. The
motion was carried, and Immediately upon
the announcement of the fact the band
struck up the tune America"
The chairman then announced that NOM
nations for recorder were in order. Nomin-
atoms were made in the following order:
A. ID. Shaw, Charles Dennis, Charles
hrause, Robert E. Golf, Benjamin Frank
lin. Al Taffe William E. Shilling and The
odore Stein. The first ballot resulted as
follows: Krause. $50; Shilling, 115; Taffe,
III; Croft, 1O4; Shaw, 1O1; Franklin, "a;
Dennis, AZ; Stein. 9.
The following is the summary of the bal
lot.

DIR. CASTOR FOR CORONER.
lie Receives just Sufficient Votes OF
the First Ballot.

The cries for womack were renewed, and
amid the deafening shouts Justus c. Adams
stepped to the front of the stage and called
for nominations for coroner. A w. Wish
ard was upon his feet in an instant and
nominated DR.. A. w. Brayton. Then Drs.
Hiram c. Castor, II. c. Miller and j. ].
Carver were successfully nominated. The
ballot ran very close for a time then DR..
Castor steadily forged ahead. Although
Castor was gaining rapidly, it was doubt
full if enough votes were not being cast
for the field to require another vote. Ii re-
quired the calculations of the secretary 10
settle the point TO whether there was
any nomination. When the vote was an
nounced IL was found that Castor had
barely pulled through. There were SD votes
cast and 40l were necessary for choice
DR.. Castor had received just enough votes
to nominate him. Dr. Brayton had re-
ceived Zs9, DR.. Carver 81 and DR.. Miller Is
Then there swas more shouting and calls
for Castor, who seated upon the stage
but nominations for surveyor were called
for and made. The following is the sum-
mary of the ballot for coroner

THE CONTEST FOR CLERK.
A. j. Joyce Wins, with A. a. Young n
Strong Competitor.

AS soon as the contest for criminal judge
was over there began to be a perceptible
stir in the convention. The clerkship NOM
nation was to be next, and with splendid
field OF six candidates, interest in the con-
test was at fever heat. Delegates began
to stir from their seats and slip around
to have the last word with friends in vari-
Gus parts of the hall, and it required not
little good-natured pounding of the gavel

the end the partisans of Joyce and Young

thusiasm. and every time some precinct
cast it's solid vote for one o. the other of
these q yell of applause would go up from
his friends The ballot was as follows:

THE RACE BETWEEN TWO.
Harry ID. Smith Chosen Auditor by m
Good Majority

There was much of hustle when Chair
man Adams announced that nominations
for auditor were in order. John b. Cock
rum arose and placed in nomination 1.-The
man who redeemed Indianapolis-Harry B.

followed this by naming 1.-The one-legged
railroad man who was your candidate
four years ago and who is everybody's
friend-John Browning" Several delegates
jumped UP ready to second the nomina-
tons. but the chairman called attention to
the rule which forbade the secording of
nominations. AS there were only two can
didates the roll-call Immediately began and
there was close interest, for one ballot
must, necessarily. determine the choice. In
the first few wards the vote was close,
although Mr.. Smith had the best of it, A
big majority of the delegations were split
and this in itself repudiated any intima-
ton that there SLATE" Mr.. Brown
ing showed his best strength in the Ninth
and Fifteenth wards, Mr.. Smith having
majorites in nearly every other ward. Six

IL was a business convention and no time
was wasted in the matter OF preliminaries.

nation for prosecuting attorney. and as
the rules forbid nominating speeches. the

FOR CRIMINAL JUDGE.
Nominations for criminal Judge were at
once called for J. Il. Keeling named Frank
McCray Mr. Brown named ID. NJ. Brad
bury and S. K. Fletcher placed Warwick
H. Ripley's name before the convention.
Through the No. side wards it was
fairly close race between McCray and
Bradbury. The question OF geography told
heavily against Mr.. Ripley as his ward
had a number of candidates for other Of
fees and he was thus not able TO make
quite the showing that he naturally would.
When the roll call reached the South-side
wards IL became apparent that Mr.. McCray
had a good deal the best of It. After the
roll was called through Pike township, Mr..
McCray lacked but three or fOu. votes OF
the nomination. and at this juncture both
Bradbury and Ripley withdrew. and their
joint motion TO make Mr.. McCray's nomina-
ton unanimous was carried with much
eXuberance OF enthusiasm.

livered q lecture at the Savage club on
''The Lost Continent" DR.. Sharpe first
illustrated the zoo geographical regions
Of the world, with their peculiar forms
Of bird life, and explained the occurrence
Of isolated forms In different portions Of

continent at the south pole uniting South
America, Madagascar and Australia Is
arousing considerable interest and dis.
cussion in scientific circles at the present
time, chiefly owing to the support which
