Louiaville Races

Beginning on Derby Day, May 6
one of the greatest race meetings
ever held in Kentucky will be given
at the famous Louisville race course
Ten stakes, including the Kentucky
Derby, $4,000, will be run during the
twelve days. All the crack horses of the
country are engaged in these stakes,
including Ben Brush, Prince Lief
Ramiro, First Mate, Semper Ego,
Nimrod, Ben Elder, Lady Inez, Far
raday, Ida Pickwick, Rudolph and
over a hundred others. Over 800
horses are now quartered at Churchill
Downs, insuring large fields and ex-
citing contests. There will be FIVE or
more races each day, with liberal ad-
.ded money.
All the railroads have put on cheap
excursion rates, the round trip from
Hopkinsville being only one fare.
This also includes admission to the
grand stand, each railroad ticket
having a coupon attached which can
be exchanged for a badge at the
gate. This is the cheapest rate ever
offered from this point, and big
delegation will leave here on DERBY
Day to take advantage of it.

pound nets were first put in the river,
aud since that time have gradually
grown in favor. In 1889 there were
$50 pound nets; in 1890, 376, and
il 1891, All. 1t then became apparent
tlat the multiplication of these nets near
the mouth Of the river was diminishing
the catch in the upper Potomac and
that the ultimate result of taking such
quantities of shad before reaching the
spawning grounds would prove ex-
ceedingly harmful, and that if the fish
cries were to be maintained scme re-
strictions would be necessary limiting
the lumber Of nets, their nature and
location, or artificial propagation must
be conducted on an exceedingly ex-
tensive sale.
Prior to artificial propagation the
fisheries of the Potomac steadily de-
creased in value and production up to
the period of the war. During the
prevalence of hostilities the fish had a
chance to recuperate. In 1878 the
minimum of lS6, 600 shad were taken.
A year later the good effects of artificial
propagation began TO be evident, and
the annual run of shad increased until
in 1880 there were taken 5S2,S72 fish.
In 1890 the Potomac fishermen receiv-
ed $75 ,935 for their shad, while in 1891
they took 62l ,977 fish, weighing 1856 i,
759 pounds, bringing an aggregate 500,
100. The year 1889 was the best in the
decade when S6S, 800 fish were taken
and sold for $50 .37S. In 1891 alewives
outranked shad in importance, there
being taken 7,33O,635 pounds of that
fish, valued at S71 ,402.

TTLLMAN ron PRESIDENT.
An Exponent of tho Financial Hsresies of
the Silver Party.

WASHINGTON. d. G., April Special
There seems to be no doubt that Senator
Tilman considers himself possible cam
dldate for the presidency upon a Silver
Democratic ticket. There is also no doubt
that out OF the whole Democratic mem
bership OF the Senate there Is not man
70 little qualified for the position 20 which
he seriously aspires as the violent poDu-
listic and anarchistic senator from the
Palmetto State. At the same time. how
ever there is nothing unreasonable in
Mr.. Tiiman's candida'y. II the Demo-
cratic platform is TO contain a free-slver
plank. then the party shoud take as it's
standard bearer a man like Tillmdn. who
thoroughly represents I the financial and
political heresies which are advocated by
the free-s-lver men.
Tillman will formally launch his boom
about the middle of the month. when he
will address the free-silver Democrats Of
Colorado, al Denver. lie will then pro-
cssd 10 the South. making speeches at
several points en- route.
He thinks the South and West will COM
bine In the next election and vote for a
silver man, and IL they do THIS he sees
no reason why he should not be the man.
II is an absurd proposition, but ii serves
70 show the direction in which the silver
movement is dragging the Democratic
party.
