WAS A BANNER DAY.
Thousands Attended the Races at Glenville
Park.

Cleveland, Aug. This has been the
banner day in the history of the Glen
Vile track. 1t was estimated that 49,
900 people saw the races. Robert j., the
king of the turf, is king no longer. The
honor was wrested from him by that
game black stallian, Joe Patchen in the
most exciting speed contest ever seen
on al grand circuit track. The event
was the free-for-all pacing race.
1t has been known since last season
that Joe Patchen was a great race
horse, but even his warmest admirers
did not believe that he was speedy
enough to defeat the phenomenal Rob-
ert ]. In the auction pools Robert j.
sold for s25 and the field for S. In the
books the Hamlin world-beater was
barred.
He was supposed to have a cinch on
the race, and most of the betting was
on Joe Patchen for a place. After the
first heat 81 on the field would have
brought $50 on Robert J. The second
heat was the beginning of the surprise
that was to follow. The favorite and
his rival came into the stretch neck and
neck, after having paced the middle
half in one minute. Jack Curry, who
was driving Patchen seemed to push the
black whirlwind under the wire and he
won by the shortest kind Of a nose in
2:04A. The last two heats were trifle
easier for the black stallion, although
he won by less than a length each time
1t was the fastest four heat race ever
paced and the last heat, in 2.05A, was
the fastest fourth heat ever paced.
The first race was the unfinished 2:2t
pacing race. Valleau and Gilman eact
had two heats and Arcturus one. Val
leau won out after being driven hare
by Arcturus. Klamath and William
Penn sold as favorites in the 2:11 tro

In the middle of the room runs stout iron
bar from wall to wall To this bar is at
tached a large swing, seating about dozen
people.
You take your seat, and the swing is sc
in motion. At first it moves rather slowly,
just like any other swing; but this does
not last long. The swing soon begins to
90 faster and faster till it completely turns
upside down. You can see the whole room
walls, furniture, and all, flying round at
terrific speed.
You are at first seized with amazement
and then fright, clutching frantically to
your seat, and wondering when you will
be flung out against the ceiling, or where
you will land. You have not time to rea-
son or think. Everything is whirling round
until your head fairly swims.
Suddenly this remarkable swing stops,
and you step off-on the ceiling close to the
chandelier, which, instead of being Suspen-
ded, sticks straight up into the air The
mystery is explained by polite attendant,
who tells you that it is not the swing that
has been going round, but the room itself
All the furniture and pictures are Sc.
curely fastened to prevent them from fly
ing about while the room turns its somer-
sauts. The explanation sounds reasona-
bic enough, but you goaway in a doubtful
frame of mind feeling that YOU would like
to bet any mount that the swing, with you
in it, turned bottom side up, but why you
didn't fall out-that's what puzzles your
still whirling brain.

IMMORTALITY OF JOKES.
Mark Twain Thinks HumOr Is the Great
Thing.

Well, humor is a great thing, the saw
ing thing after all The moment it crops
up, all our hardness yields, all our irritat-
ions and resentments fit away, and a sunny
spirit takes their place. | remember eX-
ploding it's American counter mine once
under that grand hero, Napoleon. He was
only first consul then, and | was CONSUL
general-for the United States, of course ;
but we were very intimate, notwithstand-
ing the difference in rank, for | waived
that. One day something offered the open
ing and he said:
"WelI, general | suppose life can never
get entirely dull to an American, because
whenever he cant strike up any other way
to put in his time he can always get away
with few years trying to find out who his
grandfather was"
fairly shouted, for had never heard it
sound better; and then was back at him
as quick as a flash:
Fright, Your Excellcncy But reckon
a Frenchmans got his little stand by for a
dull time too, because when all other in
terests fail he can turn in and see if he cant
find out who his father was.''
Well, you should have heard him just
whoop and cackle and carry on. He
reached up and hit me one on the shoulder
and says:
Land, but its good! It's immensely
good! IGeorge. | never heard it said so
good in my life before! Say it again.
SO said it again, and he said his again,
and said my again, and then he did, and
then | did, and he did, and we kept on
doing it, and doing it, and | never had
such a good time, and he said the same. In
my opinion there ism t anything that is as
killing as one of those DEAR old ripe
pensioners if you know how to snatch it
out in kind of fresh SOFT of original
way.

Eastern Shore Tobacco.

On Tuesday the Chester River Steamboat
Company handled its first consignment Of
tobacco grown on the Eastern Shore. There
were two hogsheads of the weed, weighing
800 pounds. 1t was grown by Mr. Samuel
L. Earle, in Corsica Neck, Queen Annes
county, and was consigned to Messrs. Dudley
4 Carpenter, Light street, Baltimore. Mr.. j..
b. Thomas, of the Chester River Company,
who comes from Queen Annes county, says it
is the first tobacco he ever knew to be grown
in such large quantities on the Eastern Shore.
number of farmers have made experiments
with the weed but the soil did not appear to
be adapted to tobacco growing.

A LIFE SAVER.



From the WoonSocket(R ~ Reporter.
One midw.nter night, in binding snow
storm Captain Arthur l.. Nickerson, in
command of the gallant little schooner
Allen Green, ran cut from Vineyard Sound
before the northeast gale and made for the
open sea. TIL storm was at its height when
the wind shifted so suddenly that before the
skipper realized his situation his ears
caught the sound of the breakers booming
on Point Judith's treacherous shore.
Fifteen minutes after the Allen Green
struck, Captain Herbert NJ. Knowles crew
of hardy Life savers had begun the work of
rescue. Captain Nickerson, when brought
ashore, was in pitiable condition. AS he
liter stated in his official report of the disaster
(see Government Report) made to Superin-
tendent Kinda of the Life Saving Service,
81 suffered much from cramps and pains
caused by the bruises | received before ]
went ashore, having been at the wheel fifteen
hours c0RtinuouSty'
The life savers wrapped the brave young
sailor in warm blankets and gave him Pain
Killer freely. The famous cid remedy ac-
complished an immediate relief, and Captain
Nickerson slept As peacefully as child that
night and awoke next mo rning in condition
to face another tempest, if necessary. He
feels that the prompt use of Pain Her after
his fearful experience rescued him from I'M
utterable suffering and even saved his life.
Brave Captain Knowles is now assistant
superintendent of the life saving district
He says the life savers all use Pain-Killer,
and consider it the best and most reliable
"all-around" remedy they can have By them.
Captains Asa Church, of Point Judith sta
ton; Albert Church, of Narragansett Pier;
Davis at Watch Hill; Saunders at Quono-
chontaug-and their gallant crews endorse
Captain Knowles in his unStinted praise of
Pain-killer as an invaluable remedy for
emergencies encountered in daily life

Good Prospects for Peaches.

The peach growers in the lower part of the
state are much pleased with the prospect of
having good peach crop. They base this
idea upon the supposition that there is al
ways good peach crop when there is such a
severe snow rs there was in the past month,
and also that the sleet which has covered
the trees for several days will benefit the trees.
The farmers are also interested in the bill
which is now before the General Assembly to
appoint commissioner of horticulture to
look after the fruit interests of the State
There are some who are in favor of the bill
and others who are very much opposed to it,
so that there will probably be some lively
times before the bill is passed.

OBSERVATIONS.

France has another canal pro-
ject under consideration, one of
vastly more Importance to herself
than any ditch across the great
American isthmus. 1t is to con-
nect her Mediterranean ports with
the Atlantic, and run from
Bordeaux to Narbonne. This
canal would greatly lessen the
value of Gibraltar to Great Britain.
President Faure lately assured a
delegation that waited on him in
behalf of the canal, that the Gov
eminent was greatly interested in
the project and fully recognized
the Importance of it's being car
ried out.

SCHOOL BUILDINGS.

There is nothing in which Ho-
nolulu is further behind the age
than in the character of its school
buildings. The large private
schools or colleges are a credit in
their housing to the city, while
the principal schools owned by
the Government are quartered in
buildings that would be disgrace
to small country town elsewhere
As one of these public schools
giving academic instruction
charges high fees to pupils in every
department, including the lowest
primary, the battered and hid
eous-looking, group of buildings
in which it is situated is all the
more discreditable to the Govern
ment. That is the Fort-street
school, and the Royal school, with
a high-school grade but wholly
free, is housed in a barn
like structure, old and dingy. and
in the matter of convenience out of
sight behind the times. The Board
of Education is considering the
ACCESSIBILITY and feasibility OF
leasing the Bishop premises on
Emma street for a high school
building. This may be very well
as temporary expedient, but it
should not be thought of as per-
manent arrangement. Honolulu
should own and not rent high
school building that would com
pare favorably with the best ar
chitecture that has lately enhan-
ced the appearance of thecity.
There are said to be one hundred
and fifty children eligible for high
school grades at the present time,
and suitable permanent accommo.
dation for these, and a probable
increase of many more, shou d be
projected without any delay.
1t is a wonder that residents who
frequently go abroad, seeing
the style of school buildings now
in vogue in progressive towns
should not long ago have stirred
up an agitation on this subject.
Country schools take a large pro.
portion of available school funds,
and, without any material in
crease in the appropriation to be
expected while so many soldiers
and police are maintained, it is
probably hopeless to look for de,
cent school buildings in town
from the Government. Still il
does not look economical to pay
heavy rent for high school build,
ing, and that for a structure never
intended for such purpose, re-
curing in consequence large
