As they flashed past the three eighths'
pole, with nearly half the distance run,
Crescendo had increased his lead over
Axiom to half length
The half-mile pole, where the Futurity
course comes into the main track, is
the spot where the faltering usually
comes and there it was that the feet
FLY, Axiom, had got enough. Crescendo
was still leading by half a length and
Requital still hung on. Handspring's
white nose was not far behind in fourth
place. Formal was there, too, and Sill
yer H., Hastings and Apologize hung
on like grim death.
The squadron Strengthened out for the
short quarter mile dash for the home
wire, but it was badly disordered. With
each stride the leaders wideued the gap
between them and the main body. The
five eights pole was close at hand as
the dark blue jacket of Griffin went
past Carr like a whirlwind, and Re
quital in first place. Then Carr began
to fog Crescendo.
At the last pole, with only a furlong
to go, Requital had length the best of
it and going easily. Crescendo was no
longer dangerous, but Silver II was com
ing fast out of the bunch while Hand
spring was fourth with a good bit Of life
left. Hastings had climbed up into fifth
place, while Formal was sixth, rapidly los
ing ground to Applegate. The squadron
of cavalry had become an irregular body
strung out over a sixteenth of mile
with Requital gallopipg easily at the
head and Crescendo laboring along a
length and half behind. Then came
Silver II, Handspring, Hastings and APP
plegate with no daylight between them;
the rest strung out with Axiom at the
tail end of the procession.
Still Griffin steadied Requital, and in
one minute eleven and two fifth seconds
after the fall of the lag he crossed the
line amid the cheers of 10, 900 spectators,
length ahead although he could have
made it much more had he chosen.
Crescend0 was fogged into second place.
Four lengths in front of the next horse
was Silver H., which only beat Hand
spring By neck, with the high priced
Hastings fifth, and Applegate sixth.
Thus Griffin won his fourth consecu-
tive race of the day and was hoisted
into the Jockeys chair while the crowd
cheered. By this ride he made $53,75

NEW YORK, Aug. "a The great crowd
at the Futurity race to-day watched the
first three races with impatience, al
though they were interesting, and when
the Futurity was run every seat in the
grand stand was filed and there were
few vacant spots on the lawn, while the
roof was filed, for there the best places
could be found to watch the contest.
1t was 4:45 o'clock when the bugle
called the horses to the post, and twenty
of them paraded up the stretch past the
grand stand. They seemed to be in good
temper and condition, with the exception
OF Axiom, who played badly, and in one
of her Jumps injured handspring. He
was badly cut in the hook, but ran a
great race in spite of it.

start. They did not vary much in posi-
ton in the run to the eighth pole, but
when they reached the quarter, Cres-
cendo had the lead, only head in front
of Axiom, who was head in front of
Requital, who was leading Formal.
A blanket would have covered all four
horses, but as early as that, it could be
seen that Requital was strongest. Silver

THE ROCKY MOUNT MARKET.
An Eleven Thousand. Six Hundred
and Seven Dollar Break.

Rocky Mourn, N. G., Aug. :

Rocky MOUNT, N. c., Aug. "a.
Although the farmers have been sell
ing their present crop of tobacco on this
market for several weeks, yesterday cul-
minated in the biggest break of the season
so far; the sales amounting to $11, ,607.
The Warehousemen on this market
seem to be the most modest and least
boastful of their brotherhood; for while
they sell more tobacco, and at the high
est figures, than any Of the East Caro-
lima markets, yet they never blow their
own horns.
The floors of Davis, Grayely's Il JEFF
frey's warehousemen filed with bright
leaf and six counties were represented,
The average price was a fraction over
fourteen dollars.
The fourth warehouse will be COM
pleted early next week and will be run
by O. O. Cooper, one of the Oldest
tobacco men On the market The build
ing is most eligibly located with refer
ence to the group of warehouses and is
100000 feet-perhaps the largest in the
State.
The Rocky Mount Fair company has
completed the grading OF their race track
and it is claimed to be now the fastest
in the South.
Boom has been synonym for burst
with most towns, but Rocky Mount has
nejoyed continuous progressive move,
the population having doubled in five
years and building never having ceased

THE SUGAR BOUNTY CASES.
The Comptroller Likely to Decide
Against Payment of the Bounty.

WASHINGTON, D. G., Aug. 24-Comp
troller of the Treasury Bowler to day
received the last Of the briefs in the
sugar bounty cases, and has begun work
on his decision, which will probably be
rendered in the course of a week.
He will first, however, have to render
decision on ex-senator Manderson's
motion to remand the whole matter to
Secretary Carlisle, on the ground that
the peculiar language of the act takes
the disbursement out of the hands of the
regular accou ating officers of the Treas
ury. There is strong belief at the
Treasury Department that Mr.. Bowler
will overrule Mr. Manderson's motion,
and will decide against the payment of
the bounty.

RANSOM is CONFIDENT.
He Contradicts the Report That He
Failed to See the President.
Special to the News and Observer.


WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. "a.
Hon. NJ. W. Ransom arrived IN the
city this morning from Blowing Rock.
He telegraphed here last night contra
dieting the statement that he had been
to Gray Gables and had been refused a
conference by the President. He said he
did not fail to see the President. Mr..
Ransom visited the State Department
this morning and had a confer
ence with acting Secretary Adee.
He did not wish to discuss the question
of his reappointment and was reticeut
about matters pertaining to Mexican
affairs. He still seems confident that
the matter will be arranged satisfacto-
rily.
While Mr.. Ransom declined to dis
cuss the probabilities of his re appoint
ment as Minister, his friends express
the utmost confidence that the place viii
again be rendered him. 1t is understood
among them that Secretary Olney is in
terested in his cause.
Mr.. Ransom takes no exception to
the ruling of the Treasury Department
and the decision of the Attorney
General declaring his Office vacant
and appears to be really more
concerned over the recent report that
he had cast reflections upon Mexican
officials in connection with the subject of
the extradition of criminals, than over
his appointment, and again took oc-
casion to deny this report in the most
emphatic terms.
