II was, nevertheless, a very satisfactory

OF the bookies, but the talent certainly
did have very easy time of ii, as the
favorites were bowlcd over in a ma nnert that
sent them home broke nearly every day.
The sport was fairl y clean on the
whole but there were several cases like
the Gallatin affair, and the running OF the
horses in the stable OF Steve LIiommedicu
that have made the handicappers tear up
their ''dopes'' and cast them TO the four
winds in utter despair OF Figuring" out
a winner.
The running of the horse Gallatin eX
cited more comment than anything that
has come Off at the Island track since the
day the gates were first thrown open TO
the public. If anyone but G. X. Tompkins,
the ex-secretary of the Island track, had
owned the horse ii is safe to say that they
would hardly have been given time 10 get
the horse out of the gate.

held there.
There have been no steps taken to get the

to-day just as 1t did when Mr.. Belmont
purchased it. The local officials of the
club have heard nothing of a meeting this
fan. and word is received from reliable
source in New York that there will
positively be no meeting until spring"
The card at st. Asaph for to-day is a
good one in every respect. The events
have not only been filled well, hut the best
horses a the track are in and should furnish

The GROOM DIDN'T CoME.-One OF
the bellies ofSlatington, Pa, pretty Miss
Maggie Morris, is not bride, as she
and her friends expected her to be.
The wedding was to have taken place
last Saturday night, but Benjamin Sow
der, the prospective groom, was not on
hand.
Sowder had been counting the girl
since she was 10 years old, and so eager
was be, apparently, that the wedding
should take place that he procured the
necessary marriage license several
weeks in advance. A number of friends
of the couple were invited to witness
the ceremony, and the affair was to be
one of unusual gayety. The bride had
purchased an elegant wedding outfit,
and, as the officiating clergyman and
the guests arrived, she greeted them all
in the most cheerful manner. AS the
time for the ceremony approached,
however, and the bridegroom had not
appeared, some concern was manifest
ed. Finally messengers were sent out
to find him. They returned with the
news that Sowder had left town early
in the morning aud had gone to Phila-
delphia: The disappointed guests left
for their homes, and the wedding feast
remained untouched. Miss Morris,
who is one of the most popular young
ladies in Slatington, is well-nigh heart

again reigned all day yesterday at the

cause of the excitement was the return
of FIVE original rioters after a two
weeks incarceration at the Harrison

wagon the girls set up a shout which
could be heard blocks away. At once
a crowd began to collect and 500 per-
sons soon surrounded the building.
The girls refused to go into the build
ing voluntarily and swore that if they
were taken inside they would burn
down the place. The police were
compelled to literally drag them up the
steps. On gaining the Railways the Of
fcers released their charges, and they
at once began to tear madly up and
down the corridors making terrible
uproar. The rest of the girls refused
to go back to work or to the classes,
and in many cases struck the matrons.
They became so demonstrative that
some of them were locked in their
rooms

Placing himself at the head of the

FREDERICKSBURG, where he was met by
Prince Bismarck. The ex-chancellor

rived at the castle the soldiers formed

rain fell heavily, but the kaiser sat
upon his horse and Prince Bismarck
stood by the side of his carriage within
the curve of the military crescent. The
emperor saluted Prince Bismarck and
addressed him as follows: "Your Sc

and his majesty urged him to mount
his carriage, which Prince Bismarck
