the Season.

the Season.
Despite the stormy weather that
ushered in the morning of Friday,
preparations for the Odd Fellows
celebration were nevertheless rushed
and considerable confidence was
placed in the old saying of Grain
before Seven Dry before 'Leven. "
The saying proved true and long
before eleven O'Clock the threatening
clouds had left the heavens and ''Old
Sol'' was beaming his warming rays
on the face of this part of the universe.
Once or twice during the afternoon
the heat was rather oppressive, mer-
curry gamboling in the region OF IS
in the shade, quite contrast to the
rather chilly hreezes that had honOred
us with their presence for several
days past.
At o'clock, Marshal Dan Garrison
mustered his forces at Odd Fellows
hall for the parade. Fifty-two Odd
Fellows in regalia were in line and
led by the City band presented a
rather pleasing sight. Preceding the
band, the glorious stars and stripes
aioated to the breezes, guarded by
several crafty sons of the order who
by their step appeared to be immense
ly proud of the red, white and blue
emblem of freedOm-and rightly can
they feel So After the flag of our
country followed the Ely City band,
vino on this particular occasion seemed
10 improve their otherwise faultleSs
strains. At the head of the main
procession and directly following the
band was carried the beautiful new
silk banner recently secured by the
ledge and shown for the first time on
this occasion. The procession wended
its way on Chapman street to Fifth
avenue from whence it went to the
ball grouads, followed by almost the
entire city, to play the much talked
off game of ball wherein the fats were
TO literally strew the grounds with
the diamond honors of the leans and
the leans would do the same with
their more pretentions and weighty
adversaries.
The clubs were in excellent trim,
the fats having fed up to the required
weight and the leans having trained
down until they resembled a buck
saw without frame. The positions

Indians Increasing.

Lieut.. Mercier says the Indians at
the Sucker Point reservation are
gradually increasing, the total number
now being 742. Nine years ago there
was 700. He says that efforts are
being made to erect a large boarding
school somewhere in this part of the
country, as the parents of the children
are obliged to travel around hunting
a great part of the time and take the
children with thef.a

The Pioneer.

Shipments from the Pioneer will be
concluded in about week more. By
the time this paper reaches its readers,
the mine will have sent forward about
10000 tons. Active operations are
being carried on to place the mine in
a good position for work before snow
flies. The foundation for the new
hoisting plant will be put in shortly.
The boilers for the compressor plant
will be moved and set probably
next week. An air pipe line is being
laid connecting the underground
workings with the compressors. The
pipe is being laid in trough through
which water from the shaft will be
constantly run, thus precluding the
possibility of frost. The mine has at
present about 23O men on the pay rolls
a great many of which are busy on
the surface. The two large boilers
from the old engine house will be set
for the compressors, steam for the
present hosting plant to be furnished
by the two batteries of Stirling
tubular boilers recently put in. An
engine house has been built around
the new boilers and workmen are at
present employed putting in shape
preparatory to brick veneering same
on the inside. Everything points to
a busy season at the Pioneer, the
underground Improvements keeping
pace with the surface. The drift on
the sixth level is into ore.

The Zenith Property.

Although not definitely known as
yet, there are strong possibilities that
this property will be worked the
coming winter. Several parties have
their eye on the same and as soon as
the matter of royalty is settled the
mine will be worked.

President Bacon is reported as hav-

would, the coming winter employ as
many men as have ever been employed
there, which means about 1900.
This would mean much for the Tower

The game was called by Umpire
VIM. Cox with the fats innings,
Wunder in the box and Mack in the
mask. No glove being at hand,
Catcher Mack was sorely handicapped
i'm the use of breast protector to stop
the 12-foot cork screw, cyclone twisters
leaving the hands Of Pitcher Wunder.
With graceful ease and amid con-
siderable putting, the fats brought in
four runs, Cox, CrOssman, Goldsworthy
and Vail scoring. The desperate bat
ting done by the fats was feature of
the game and no doubt several home
runs would have resulted had the
fielding by the skinney's not inter-
fered. Mayor Vail, in particular dis
tinguished himself by the numerous
holes he left in the ozone in the region
of home plate as did also several
Others. The breast protector and the
corkscrew twister did their deadly
work much to the sorrow of the fats
and the edification Of the afOremen-
toned pitcher and catcher. Pitcher
Crossman and Catcher Cox filled the
points for the weighty ballists who
assumed their respective positions
preparatory to annihilating the
thin gentlemen. Pitcher CrOssman
in his dexterous manipulation of the
ball proved himself a whirl wind.
On several occasions the ball would
whistle in close proximity to the
batters but all his efforts to lay them
out availed him naught. The
skinney's would hide behind the bat
or drop fiat to the ground. 1t was at
one of these critical moments when
the umpire informed the pitcher that
no other ball was at hand and that
the game would necessarily be post

Is to his get more than To that Of any 9th
or horse that We are indebted for the thor
oughbrcd Of the present day.
With very few exceptions, as In the
case Of Sampson and Bay Nation, each, al
though the best horses of their day, with
n trace of vulgar blood the thoroughbred
horse of today is the result of English skill
and English climate working upon cast
ern blood. For the past 100 years the
strictest kind of attention has been given
TO pedigree and no pains has been spared
20 have the blood pure. Great attention
was paid to stamina, as all the racing In
England until 25 or 80 years ago was what
Is known as heat racing. Some marvel
Gus statements arc made regarding the
speed and stoutness of the old thorough
bred. Flying Childers Is reported 10 have
run n trial over the round course at New
market miles, u furlongs and 93 yards in
minutes 40 seconds, while Eclipse Is
claimed to have been the fastest horse that
ever ran at Newmarket. He was never
beaten, frequently carrying 1853 pounds In
four mile heats.
The first thoroughbred horse landed in
America came TO the shores Of Virginia, In
those days the recognized homo of the
thoroughbred. into tnat state came Sucn
horses as Medley, Shark, Bedford, Priam
and Diomed, the winner of the first Eng
lish Derby and tho greatest stallion over
brought here. His blood courses in the
veins Of neasly every famous horse that
has hourished upon the turf of this coun-
try. Diomcd was the sire of that wonder,
Sir Arohy, so frequently called the Godol-
phin Arabian of America. Imported Priam
sired the famous Crucihx (winner of
the Thousand Guineas and Oaks), Miss
Lefty and Industry (Oaks winners as well
as great brood mares), Sarpedoy (sire Of
Alice Carneal, dam of tho race horse Lex
ington) and many equally good ones.
James jackson imported into Alabama
Glencoe, one Of the best horses ever landed
on our shores, and purchased in Canada
the famous Gallopade the founder of the
great Reel family Colonel Delaney
brought over the Cub marc by Cub, from
whom many of the most famous thorough
breds of the present day come. Kentucky
and Tennessee received their first thor
oughbred from the Old Dominion, and
there the blood horse has found his home.

DUNRAveN'S NEW YACHT.
vaIkyrie III Is Very Fast and VIII Give
the Defender q Race.


The few races of Valkyrio III, Lord
Dunraven's challenger for tho Americas
cup, demonstrate plainly that she Is a bet
ter boat than either the Britannia or the
Ailsa, the best two yachts on the other
side and as Valkyrie III will surely cross
the Atlantic to race for the old cup the
Defender will at least know she has been
In n race If she succeeds in keeping the IA
nous trophy on this side Of the Atlantic.
In her second race with her two great
rivals Valkyrie III, as Is known, was
beaten, although If the time Of each yacht
at different points in the race bc examined
Il will be seen that the challenger lost u
few minutes In the early part Of the race,
and then, despite the experimental jockey
ing on the part of the skipper, she held her
own to the end. This led to the inference
that Dunraven had something up his
sleeve" and his boats subsequent races
have demonstrated the correctness OF this
theory. Yalkyrie III has literally smoth-
cred Britannia and Ailsa in every class OF
sailing and with almost all possible wind
conditions. Ailsa has on one or two occa-
sions gained trihe In long reaching, but
this may have been due to capricious cur
rents of air.

of the cutter has been altogether aban-
doned. Lord Dunraven's yachts, built to

CHICAGO BOODLERS.
Special Grand Jury to Investigate the
Charges Against Aldermen.

CHICAGO, July 11.-At the request Of
State Attorney Kern, Judge Tuthill has
issued cali for special grand jury,
which is to investigate the charges OF
boodling In the City Council. The in
formation was given to State Attorney
Kern by III. III. Kohlsaat Of this city. The
evidence was secured through a hole in
the ceiling of Alderman Finkler's office,
in the Chamber of Commerce building.
The charge will be that certain Aldermen
attempted to procure brides in connec-
tion with an ordinance introduced some
time since into the City Council, provid-
ing that the citizens of Chicago should
be given pure ice The terms of this or
dinance were such that ii would have
driven a number of the large ice COM
panies OF the city out of business, and
they naturally used all possible effort 10
defeat IL.
II was brought to the managers OF the
ice companies that a certain clique I'm the
Council would consent to smother the
ordinance for a consideration of $50, 600.
The ice companies seemingly fell into
the trap, and while conducting negotia-
tions, arrangements were maze to entrap
the Aldermen.

WELLESLEYpS FAIR COACH.
Miss Lucille Hill, the Bob Cook OF the Fa-
NOUS College For Women.

What Miss Lucille +. Hill does not know
about rowing would Oil a very slim pam
phlet and would make very little show
whatever in book. She Is In charge of
the department of physical training at
Wellesley college, and her particular fad is
rowing. She is "a young woman OF ideas
and enterprise and introduced rowing at
Wellesley about four years ago. She believes
that girl with sound heart and strong
lungs should have an opportunity 10 enjoy
all the sports that meu indulge In, and
that of these sports one of the most enjoy
ablo and beneficial Is rowing.
Every girl at Wellesley who Is strong
enough and desires TO do so may go In for
rowing and there is great rivalry among
the numerous candidates. The freshmen
usually have two or threo crews on the
water to struggle for the honor Of being
the class crew, and the important ques-
tion is decided each year upon float day"
the great annual aquatic event at the col
lege. Miss Hill each year visits several OF
the colleges where rowing Is practiced to
perfection, and not long ago she was the
guest of the Yale crew at New London.

construction, while the Defender has bean
built of manganese bronze and Alumni
um. The Defender when she has all sail
spread will expose a canvas surface of 10, p
400 square feet, and the sail area Of Val
kyrie LII Is IL, 900 square feet.
The wetted surface of the Defender Is
2, 700 square feet, and In this she Is OK
ceoded by 100 square feet by valkyrie Ill
IL will therefore be seen that for each foot
of wettod surface the Defender has sail
area Of 4.03 square feet and valkyrie Ill
of 4.14 square feet. Relatively the sail
spread Of the English yacht is thus greater
than that OF the Defender, and this would
give her an advantage In light breeze
and place her at disadvantage in blow.

Of last years Yale crew, and this year the
Yale style Of rowing-the Cook stroke
is in high favor among the fair devotees OF
the sport at Wellesley.
Miss Hill is now woman enough bow
ever. not to take anything for granted be-
cause some male aquatic expert has told
her that such and such thing is so. She
mover fully accepts advice until her own
practice has proved to her complete salts
faction that the thing in question is the
proper thing TO do. The sport has become
SO popular Mt the college that the crews be-
gin training on rowing machines In Feb
ruary each year, and IN April, rs soon as
the water is free from ice, the oarswomen
get out upon the lake. There are now six
eight cared shells at Wellesley and they
arc usually kept very busy. II tho new
woman craze continues, the annual boat
ing event of America in 1900 will doubt
less be great race for supremacy between
Yale or Cornell and tho muscular and
brainy young amazons of Wellesley.

Lovett says that Rochester Is the best
baseball town in the league, when 1t comes
to attendance and if the Rochesters only
played a little better ball and were nearer
the top they would coin money. Spring
field is the worst town, and although the
Springfields have kept the lead so long
they have received very little encourage
ment from the public at home. Provi-
dence is a pretty good place and SO Is
