OF The Evening Star;

To the Editor OF The Evening Star:
So far the sports at the International
Athletic Park have been favored with a
most desirable class of patrons large
percentage of which are ladies and young
girls. 1t seems a bar is conducted in con-
nection with the enterprise, which being
the custom at a great many public resorts,
perhaps serious exception may not be taken
thereto in this instance. But the field for
the sale of intoxic ating liquors has out
grown the bar room. and they are served
in the grand stand after the style of free
and-eaSy resort.
There are among the patrons of these
sports &c odly number to whom the drink
ing practice is jectonable, and who scru-
pulously avoid bar rooms, but who cannot
avoid contamination when liquor is traf-
licked among them. Yesterday the hilar-
:ous antics of party of young men, under
the influence of strong drink obtained on
the premises, were disgusting and annoying
to the ladies and gentlemen in their vicinity
In the grand stand, and eliminated in a
disgraceful brawI in front of the grand
stand after the conclusion of the racing
and before all the audience had left.
Where there is no limit to the sale of
strong drink, know of no way to prevent
intoxcation on the part Of those who crave
it, but if possible it should he arranged so
that they will be compelled to seek it in a
common Spot-the bar room-and not in
f:ct themselves in their objectionable state
On those who choose only the clean recrea-
ton of the sport, undefled by vicious ness
We have but this one first-class track
near the city, and as a lover of the sport
I sincerely hope this Will not Gegenera e
INTO a sort of summer garden, where our
wives ana daughters may no. go except by
having to associate with drunken men.

HOW HIS CHANCES APPEAR


Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
COLUMBIA 8. c., September S.-The
second primary election in this state 10 lie
eide the question who shall be the demo-
cratic nominee for the United States Sen
ate is being held today. No election In
years has excited greater interest. The
outcome is i'll doubt. The candidates Ill
the second primary are Governor John
Gary Evans and Judge Joseph II. Earle.
The race will be close, with the chances in
favor Of Governor Evacs.
In the first primary. Senator Tillman held
hands off. but was at last forced to so to
the rescue of Evans. Last week, before
leaving for Pennsylvania, the Senator
wrote a letter to his admirers. advising
them to vote for Evans. He declared that
Evans stood for reform in the state, ard
for all that he CTilllnan) mad stood for,
while Earle was opposed to the rcformers.
He declared that the defeat OF Evans
would mean the defeat of Tilfmarisia lii

will be because of Senator Tlilmans ap-

voters will not look upon tie election OF
E.yars as the salvation of the reform move
ment and will not accept Tillm2ns advice,
preferring to take the view that the eiec-
ton of the governor would mean the &C.
struction of the movement.
Serious charges of preparations for fraud
are being made by the a.lhcrsnis of Earle.
In number of places the printed ballots
sent to voting precincts have had Inc name
of Judge Earle scratched. Under the rules
of the party in this state, the members Of
the legislature agree to elect the man to

city for the purpose of adjusting the long
standing claims of letter carriers for over
time between 1883 and 1873 The claim If

which it was held that letter carriers were
engaged to do a specific class of work. for
which they We're to receive a stated salary
Under the act of Congress of 1855 their
time was limited TO eight hours a day six
days a week. After the eighth law
was passed. ii became customary for post
masters to detail carriers to do extra work
In other departments. This the court held
to he contrary TO law. unless the men were
paid extra for the extra labor.
pom this decision, letter carriers all over
the country put in claims against the gov
ernnert. the aggregate amounting to sey-
eral millions of dollars
From here Judge Lorenz will go through
the state. visiting all towns and cities

How Places Are Made for the Addi-

The latest vacancy in the line of the
army through the age retirement limit is
that made by the retirement OF Major
Egan Of the 1st Artillery. The promotions
that result from this retirement have given
Additional Second Lieutenant Guignard his
fun rank as second lieutenant. Next
month The retirement Of Colonel Lodor
will add another second lieutenant to the
list. The law transferring officers from the
limited disability list to the age retirement
list is having a good effect by creating
many vacancies. Secretary Lamont is ex-
pected to make additional recommended
tons for retiring officers, as ne is anxious
to secure places for all the additional sec
ond lieutenants before the next gradual

possible, places for the enlisted men who

does not Indicate anything with reference
to the presidential election. The Arkan-

local issue. National questions did not
enter into It.
Moreover. he said. democratic majoritieS
