A Quiet Day.

The naval appropriation bill was under
consideration In the house, but as a rule
that bill received very little attention at
the hands Of the speakers, the debate
soon switching of to the tariff question.
An agreement had been reached in the
morning to limit general debate to seven
hours, three and half hours to a side.
but the majority OF the mem bers showed
no disposition 10 resume their allowance,
and Mr.. Boutelle, who was TO close for
the minority, was unwilling to speak, so
st $50 the house adjourned.

THE SECOND DAY.
The Free For All.

Gil Curry, the "grey ghost" with his
record of more than a dozen first prizes
and half a dozen track records this season,
was the favorite in the free for ALL and met
expectations. He took the first heat easily
without skip, Roam Wilkes and Chester
field trailing behind. AT the start of the
second heat Gil Curry came down little
slower than the other two, but Ham Brock
nodded that all was right, and away they
went, with Roam Wilkes in the lead. On
the lower turn of the second half Gil Curry
broke and lost few lengths. The pretty
roam was setting hot pace, and although
the "ghost" narrowed the gap, he was
length back at the wire, with Chesterfield
in third place. They were off for the third
heat at the second trial, with Gil Curry
little back. Roam Wilkes broke, and Brock
then performed sensational act which
pleased the crowd-throwing away his

SHEEP.

The number of sheep exhibited was hard
ly enough to compare well with the extent
of the exhibits in other departments, al
though a few famous hocks were repre-
sented, of which the Horned Dorsets,
shown by j. O. Frost IL Son of the maple
Grove Farm Vernon, the Hampshire
Downs, by II. Il. c. Watson of the Forest
Park Farm, Brandon, the Green Mountain
Cotswolds by John c. Ring of Greenfield,
Mass, and the Shropshires by W. w. Ball
of Winchester, n. H., were notable exam
Piles. The Horned Dorsets are compare
lively new sheep for this country, and only
a few have yet been introduced. The
Hampshire Downs, shown by Mr.. Watson,
bore even and compact tleeces, and had
black legs and faces. They were from a
flock imported by DIR. Seward Webb of
Shelburne, and part of them were the orig
inal importation. A large Shropshire buck
belonging to w. w. Ball was claimed to
weigh 215 pounds, and his sire was said to
have weighed 375 pounds. The pure white
wavy ileeces of Mr.. Rings Cotswolds gave
a hint of the poetical idea of the shepherd
and his tlocks.
Redway IL Whitman exhibited pure bred
Southdowns, and w. F. Richardson grade
SouthdOwns; and IL. G. Clark a pen of
coarse wool sheep.

And Then Lowered the Record to
2I4 I-4-Myrtie Peek's E1hIbitiOn-A
Nose and Nose Finish.
The races Wednesday afternoon began
with the trotting of the 2:10 class, which
alternated with the 220 class of PAGERS.
The 2:10 class had only three starters, but
there was battle royal, particularly in the
fifth heat Little Belle took the first two
heats, with apparent ease. In the next
two heats she broke badly and HOLSTER
won, but Little Belle recovered in time to
make exciting finishes. In the fourth
heat HOLSTER led until the three-quarter
pole, when the driver evidently thought
the race was won, and allowed the horse
to slow up. The mare proved the faster
down the stretch, and won from HOLSTER
in a neck and neck finish, which brought
yelling crowd to its feet. Mack broke
continually, but finished well up toward
the other trotters in each heat. This was
the only really good race of the afternoon.
In the 1920 class Wauco met the ex-
pectations of those who knew his recent
records at Mystic and Providence, and won
as he pleased in straight heats, the other
PAGERS following in procession.
Henry b. had cinch in the 2:45 class
leading as he pleased. Throughout each
heat the driver cried out "Whoa, Henry"
and held to the lines as if pulling in ton
of lead. An urchn in the grand stand
who shouted "let him go'', echoed the SEN
timents of the crowd, and Col. Hooker re-
marked sardonically that he wished the
horse was entered in the free for all to
morrow. After the race Mr.. Bekwith
was called upon to establish the identity
of the horse. Wallace and Winthrop
Maid trailed along in order, and the for
tune which seems to follow Brattleboro
horses on the home track was with Mary
II. The summary tells the story in brief:

GIL Curry knocks the Track Record TO
2;IlI-f.
Gil Curry had already cut under the
track record twice, but was brought out to
surpass his own performance, Miss Myrtle
Peek accompanying him on her running
horse. Gil Curry did the distance in
2:144, and it is dollars to doughnuts that
this record stands for more than one year,
unless Ham Brock brings the grey ghost
here again, and everybody hopes he will.
Considering the track the performance was
wonderful.
Miss Myrtle Peek repeated her eXhibi-
tion Of Wednesday, but did not attempt to
ride the thoroughbreds in the standing
race. Tom Mack, the riderless horse,
won the half mile running race in j64
seconds. The trick horse Boston again
delighted the crowd. Queen Bess fell in
the jumping contest, striking the bar, and
Miss Peek was thrown. On the next trial,
however, the bar was cleared, at a height
of feet, 104 inches. There was a run
ming race between two spans, one driven
by Miss Peek and the other by "Dick"
Miss Peek winning in 80 seconds.
Between the heats large quantity of
fine stock which is described elsewhere
was exhibited on the tracks, including the
leading horses, c. w. Winslows Ayr
shire cattle, Mr.. Avery's thoroughbred
Holstein champion draft oxen, Mr.. KEEL
ley's Swiss cattle, Mr.. Walli,'s Devons,
Gov. Goodelrs Holsteins, Mr. McVeigh' 5
milk winner, and Mr.. Colburn's butter
winner, Mr. Frost's Jerseys, including the
butter test winners, individual and herd,
Mr.. Hastings driving span from Walpole,
and b. d. Harris's span, Mr.. Dayis's oxen
from Chesterfield and Mr.. Hale's from
Halifax. w. f. Richardson and his four
sons were warmly greeted when they came
out with the seven yoke of prize-winning
oxen.

whip and driving Gil Curry the last half
by the tail. Roam Wilkes was good
second, not over a length behind. Before
the start of the fourth heat the track was
brushed, and it was announced that Gil
Curry would try to make new track
record. The game gelding made break
on the lower turn and lost somewhat, but
recovered and passed under the wire in
2:17, the last half being paced in 1904.
Won by Tongue.
The minstrel told the story of the horses
that finished nose and nose, but one stuck
out his tongue and "won by tongue"
Almost such finish was seen in the first
heat of the 2:24 class. Robert ii and
HOLSTER came down the stretch like a
pair, but the dun colored geding-Robert
H-was given the race by a short nose.
The welkin rang with shouts at the finish,
but when the decision was announced one
half of the crowd cheered and the other
half Kissed. This was one of the best
races ever seen on the track. b. f. Scion
made break at the start, but recovered
and finished third. The second heat was
tame by comparison with the first, the
horses stringing out in procession.
Euroclydon improved with work. and in the
third heat pushed Robert II hard finishing
in second place with Robert II first. b.
F. Scion beat out Hollster.
The 2:35 race did not fill in satisfactory
manner, and to take its place a match race
for 500 was made between Sultan and
Nellie M, both owned by George G. Flynt
of Monson, Mass. Nellie NJ won in 2:324
and 2:26f. For this race 500 was given,
with S25 for the drivers.

IN FREE AMERICA Laborers Are Discharged for As-
 serting Their Rights UNDER THE CONSTITUTION w. F. Aldrich Orders Men to Quit Work Because They
 Voted Against Him.
UNDER THE CONSTITUTION

MoNTEvALLo, Nov. 8-[Special Corre- spondence. ]-Early yesterday morning it was reported on our streets that ". F. Aldrich, the defeated candidate for con- gress for this district, had discharged all of his men who had voted against him. Being slow to believe such high handed meas ures would beItaken in this country your cor respondent went out to the minss and there met quite a body of white men, who con- firmed the report and showed me the or- der. It read as follows:
 ''To All the Men That Voted for Robbins:
 'You can't work any until you see me.
 "W. F. ALDRICH. ''
 The men were taking things easy, hav- ing called at Aldrich's 8 house for an expla- nation, but found he had gone to Birming- ham.
 Now these men are all native born south- erners, and most of them born and raised within sight of the "pit.'' They were there, many of them, long before MT. AL drich ever saw the place. They, with their labor and Aldrich's monopoly of Monte- vallo coal, have piled him up magnificent fortune. A year ago their wages were cut, which they accepted with scarcely com plafnt. The price on coal here remains the same. These men were born and raised democrats, and the discharge from no job would change their principles or vote. MT. Aldrjch's wealth has been made out of southern democrats and with southern democratic labor, but when they wish to exercise their rights to vote as free men they must be discharged.
 The men and community are justly in- dignant, and are 10th to believe such Steps will do Mir. Aldrich much good. The met say they may lose their jobs, but will die by their principles.
 It is thought the victory of Robbins over AIdrICh severely that be took revenge on the men who voted against him.
