able displays of mechanical work, the
product of negro students. The best of
these is the Hampton Normal School of

he RODE LIKE A DEMON.
Rem arkable Feat of Foster in
Lowering the Half Mile
Record.
WENT FASTER THAN A QUAD.
Two World and Two Coast Records
Changed by California
ScorcherS.

NAPA, CAL, Sept. 19.-The first day of
the cycling meeting proved a red-letter day
for short-distance record smashing. There
was a little too much wind on the back
stretch for any very swift time to be made
in the mile races, but the homestretch was
sheltered and the track as smooth as a
floor, so the half and quarter records were
considerably lowered.
Foster went against the worlds half-mile
record, paced by a quad, and made the
distance in 80 As seconds, thus knocking
three-fifths of second off the record. Eos
ter rode like demon, and seeing that the
quad could not pace him fast enough, he
left them ON the last eighth and beat them
| fifteen yards. 1t is believed that Foster
could have rode in 30 fat if the quad had
set faster pace.
Agnur and Otey made an unpaced mile
on tandem in 2:1O 3-5, breaking the coast
record by one-fifth of second.
Chapman and Parker OF Napa beat the
worlds unpaced tandem record for the
quarter mile in "a fiat. thus putting the
class A record below the class B by one
fifth of second.
Metcalf took big piece off the coast
half-mile record, flying start and paced by
tandem, making the distance in :01 3-5.

where DIs. Pulsifer and Smith dressed the
wound. Five stitches were taken in the
wound. The accident caused great excite
ment.

STRUGGLES OF RIVALS,
Three Ballots Were Taken
During Scenes of Wild
Confusion.
PLANKS IN THE PLATFORM.
They Advocate Freedom From
BalIot-Box Suffers and Race
track Gamblers.

TRENTON, N. j., Sept. 19.-The Repub
lican State Convention was called to order
at I2:10 P. NJ. to-day by Franklin Murphy
Rev. DR.. Hanlon of Pennington Seminary
offered prayer. Mr.. Murphy then intro.
duced Congressman Mahlon Pilney as
temporary chairman, who then addressed
the convention. After some preliminary
routine business, during which the names
of various candidates were vigorously
cheered, the convention took recess.
Upon reassembling the committee on
permanent organization recommended j.
Frank Fort of Essex for chairman. and
that gentleman, having been escorted to
the chair, addressed the delegates. depre-
eating the introduction of National issues
into the State campaign. He said that the
people of New Jersey had been like the
Israelites of old, going through the wilder
ness OF corruption, but they were within
sight of the Canaan of good government.
The platform, which was then presented
by the committee on resolutions and
adopted by the convention, opposes any
attempt to impose upon this country de-
based or deprecated currency, and reiter-
ates firm belief in the wisdom and benefi-
cence of tax upon imports which will af-
ford protection to American industries and
render an adequate revenue. The platform
concludes:
''It is the highest and most imperative
duty of intelligent and patriotic voters OF
New Jersey at this time to unite in a
supreme effort to wipe out the last vsstige
of the stain left upon the fair name of the
State by the ballot-box suffers, the race
track gamblers and the political tricksters
from whose clutches she has been SO hap
PLY released, and we earnestly appeal tc
affiliations, to join US in the high and
patriotic purpose of establishing upon 8
sure foundation clean and honest State
Government"
Nominations for Governor being in
order, ]. e. Abbott of Atlantic presented
the name of Congressman John ]. Gardner
of Atlantic. William S. Johnson of Der
gen nominated John w. Griggs of Passaic
Other regular nominees were: Maurice A
Rogers of Camden. State Senator Voorhees,
of Union, Elias Ward of Essex and John
Kean of Union.
Three ballots were taken, resulting as
follows: Frst-Kean 207, Griggs 294
Voorhees, a. Rogers 70, Ward 1853, Toffey
Gardner %; necessary to choice, 424. Sec
ond-Kean 24S, Griggs 33S, Voorhees, 65,
Ward 166, Rogers %, Toffey /.
There was great disorder between the
second and third ballots, the Ward and
Griggs adherents trying to drown each
others shouts and the ballot was taken
amid much confusion.
Chairman Fort worked hard to sustain
order. In the midst of more or less con
fusion the third ballot was taken.
Hudson went bodily over to Griggs ant
the latter's nomination was achieved
Cumberland, Salem and other countie:
followed Hudson's suit and then the nomi
nation was made unanimous.

GOVERNOR UPHAM INJURED.
Caught in a Carriags accident Whtle O,st
DririnQ.


CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, Sept. 19.-The
only accident of the week so far to mar the
pleasure of the people of Chattanooga and
their guests occurred to-day Governor w.
Ell. Upham of Wisconsin being the victim.
With Mrs. and Miss Upham and Miss
Fairchild, daughter of Ex-Governor Fair
child, he started to drive to Lookout
Mountain.
They were accompanied by General and
Mrs. Fairchild and Mr.. and Mrs. Cheek,
who occupied a second carriage. At a
point in the road where bluff was upon
one side and palisade upon the other, the
team to Governor Upham's carriage
baked, and backing struck the frame and
the occupants were compelled to jump to
save their lives, as they thought.
The ladies alight ed safely, but Governor
Upham fractured the small bone of the
right leg between the knee and ankle. He
was conveyed to the inn after some delay
and the injured member dressed by DR..
Plummer, who was surgeon with Gen.
eral Sherman in the war. The INJURY is
not at all serious and the Governor will
be able to travel in a few days. He will
be on crutches for several weeks.

ON STOCKTON,S TRACK.
1t Fas an Extremely Bad Day for the
Talent.

1utent.
STOCKTON, CAL, Sept. 19.-To-day was
a good day at the track The talent made
a mistake in picking Warrago in the three
quarter-mile dash, but Oracle S, the favor
lite in the five-furlong dash, was an easy
winner. The talent was sadly bewiidered
in the special trot, which it took six heats
to decide. Mojave was favorite at first,
but when Edwin A had taken the first
heat she made friends. After the third
heat the starters for the fourth had heat
each to their favor and the talent was at
sea. By considerable hedging they man
aged to draw down little money, but it
was not their day. There was no betting
on the district trotting race with Lady
Vestal, Mariposa and Jasper Ayre as
starters. Jasper sold favorite, $40 to ST.,
the night before but no one would put
any money against him at the track.
Two instances of trotters regaining their
feet in incredibly short distances were
shown by Mojave in the fifth heat of the
special trot and by Jasper Ayres in the
second heat OF the district trotting event.
Their phenomenal settling down scored to
both the respective heats.
The attendance was larger to-day than
on any previous day, there being a notably
large number of vehicles about. The racing
closed with the daylight.
In the ladies' equestrienne exhibition
contest, with five entries, prizes for all,
Miss frankie Cowell took first prize, Miss
