Cleveland might be nominated sent a nerv-

FRiNh AGAIN YAN0UISHED. Robert II, Defeats New Haven Stallion at
 Buffalo Meeting.

Buffalo, Aug 20.--The second day of the grand circuit meeting brought out a large attendance. The weather was cool and pleasant and the track in ex- cellent condition The feature of the day was the free-for-all pace in which Robert J., Frank Agan and w. w. P. scored for the word Robert J. drew the pole and went the distance without skip. Agan held to his wheel to the half, Tapped him on the three-q quarters and came into the stretch with a good fighting chance, but the little gelding outfooted him from the distance pole and won by good length in 2:04, the track record.
 The second heat was a repetition of the first, except that w. w. P acted badly on the first half and failed to save his distance. In the third heat Robert J. and Agan got off well to- gether, and at the half Agan showed in front, but Robert J. recovered lost ground before the stretch was reached and beat his opponent home handily.
 Tn the 2;16 trot Chance walked away from his field and won in straight heats. In the 2:10 class pace Miss Rita took the first heat, Sphinxetta finish ing second In the second heat Sphinx etta took the pole at the quarter and was never headed, though Miss Rita made a game struggle in the stretch. The third heat also went to SphinXet- ta. Geers made a driving finish with r-at-Law, but was too far back to get the heat
 The fourth heat was won by Heir-at- Law by a nose, Geers and Hickok mak- ing a most exciting struggle down the stretch. Sphinxetta quit a hundred yards from the wire. Heir at-Law took the fifth heat by a length from Miss Rita, Sphinxetta just saving her distance. It being now quite dark the finish was postponed until tomorrow.

I am happy to say that early In last July a bill was introduced into parliament by the present government for the ap- pointment of such a statutory commits sion, and it is to be hoped that before long the singular anomaly almost amounting to a scandal, that London should alone of all the great cities of the world be without a teaching uni versity will have been done away with"
 Inpointing out the effecteot laws upon social changes and of social changes upon laws, the speaker said that the effective laws of country are only an expression of the national tone and temper of the time being. Legislation can never force the pace;' it must al- ways lag behind rather than precede the popular demand for it." As to the effect of law in English history he point ed out the way in which the Norman form of tenure in which the vassel owed allegiance to the king instead of to his immediate lord, had an effect on the power of the crown, and also how the blow at fanily entails during the war of the Roses effected society by giving the wealthy members of the middle classes chance and encour- aging the operations of commerce Studying the growth of law meant, he held, studying history as we'll, and had a liberalizing tendency on the student who, though engaged in the practice of his profession, escaped being made a slave and gave him an insight into the social and political life of the past as reflected In the mirror of the present
 In conclusion Mir. fCrackenthorpe went at some length into the question of the value of legal history on the practical side of the lawyers work. He cited several cases showing the effect knowledge of the older law had upon the procedure and final results, and closed with his plea for the uses of the study of legal history.

RIOT 1T LYNN.
Strike in the Plant Shoe Factory Assumes
 Serious Phase.

Serious F naSe.
 Lynn. Mass. Aug 20.-There was more riotous conduct here tonight, when the non-union men left the Thomas G. Plant company shoe fac tory, and only for the prompt and de- termined action of a large force of po- lice it is more than likely some one would have been killed. As it was, one non-union man who had been separat- ed from the others was terribly pound- ed. He attempted to use a revolver but the mob closed in upon him and prevented. He was finally rescued by the police.
 The crowd numbered between 5000 and 4,000 and gave vent to it's anger in hoots and yells and cries of 'shoot them.' They were particularly incens- ed at w. J. Whitten, the non- union man who last night shot one of the crowd, but he was not seen in the crowd tonight, having evidently re- mained in the factory One arrest was made tonight, that of a young man named Brenton J. Higgs, who was lock ed up on the charge of disturbing the peace. It is said the demonstration to- night was not by the strikers, but by sympathiZers.

 siastic Meeting of Young Republicans Last Evening-Twenty Recruits Join the Club, Including Several Converts. u.eS. Click of San Francisco was the guest last evening of James A. How arth of the Young Mems Republican club. MT. Click has been making tour of the middle and New England states in the interest of sound money, and is recognized by the national re- publican committee. He has visited all the important centers in the east, urg- ing the republican clubs to send dele gates to the Milwaukee convention of

 the part of the American silver party
 to capture the convention of Republi-
 can clubs, which meets in Milwaukee on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday of next week.
 MT. Clicks credentials bear the sig
 nature of Mark Hanna, chairman, and
 M. U. Bowling, secretary of the national
 committee.
 He said that a large delegation from
 New England would be in attendance
 upon the convention, and while the re-
 port has been given out by the Ameri- can silver party that 1t would control
 the convention it did not look much
 like it at the present time.
 The visitor was delighted with the
 enthusiasm he found at the Young Mems Republican club. He will return
 to Milwaukee with the Connecticut del-
 egates which will leave New York Sum day night.
 Among the local republicans who will
 attend the convention are: President
 Fred B. Farnsworth- of the Connecti-
 cut League of Republican clubs; James
 A. Howarth, Jacob M Ullman. The other cities and towns of the stateswilI
 have a large representation present.
 The Young Mems Republican club

 The iron for the new building was
 put on the ground yesterday, and work will be pushed rapidly to completion. The club will give a watermelon party at an early date.
 The following new members were elected: Eugene A. Beecher, Dr. J. Waldo Jewett, Peter J. DeJohn, $.

 dealer, presented the club with two handsome pictures of Mckinley and Hobart.
 The matter of uniforming the club was discussed, but no definite action
 was taken on the subject. The Ninth ward republican club has voted to uniform it's men.

DON DICKTNsON,s LAw FIRM.
Political Differences Have Brought About
 Its Dissolution.

Political Differences Have Brought About
 Its Dissolution.
 Detroit, Aug 20.--The law firm of Dickinson, Thurber & Stevenson, which is composed of Hon. Don M. Dickinson. Henry T. Thurber, private secretary to Mr. Cleveland, and Elliott G. Steven- son, late chairman of the democratic state committee, has dissolved on &C., count of political differences which have arisen between Messrs. Dickinson and Stevenson since the Chicago con- vention.
 In the Chicago convention MT. Stew enson posed as the mouthpiece of MT. Dickinson, who represented the admfn- istration. M. Stevenson was chair man of the Michigan delegation and also chairman of the state committee. He declared he resigned from the lat ter position, not on ac count of the plat- form. but because of the treatment Cf the Michigan delegation in the conven- tion. Mr. Stevenson did resign, but his resignation was not accepted, which was considered purely a personal vic- tory. Later MT. Stevenson resigned again and made way for Fred A. Bak- CT, rabid silver man, retaining a place on the committee, however.
 MT. Stevenson has been taking an active part in the campaign in the in- terests of Bryan and Sewall This ac- tion of MT. Stevenson so incensed MT. Dickinson that the relations between the members of the firm became great ly strained Articles of dissolution of the firm were signed Saturday. MT. Thurber will remain With MT. Dickin- son. This law firm probably had a lar- ger revenue than any other similar firm in the state.
