Accidents In the Closing Race Create
Much Excitement.
Few events have ever attracted such a
gathering of well-known society people as
the field day at Fort Myer drew over the
river yesterday afternoon. The course
over which the races were run was half
encircled by carriages and the scene was
one of picturesque brilliancy. The cavalry
band was stationed at the course entrance
and played during the waits between
events.
The races were closely contested and ex-
citing and the day Was brought to close
in sensational manner by accidents IN
the last race, which was a steeplechase
twice around the course over ten hurdles.
Young Sydney Holloway. the son of Mr..
]. Hollaway. horse master of the Chevy
Chase Hunt Club, was in the lead with
Bully Boy in the last event, and at the
last hurdle was overtaken by Dare Devil,
ridden by Mr.. F. w. Page. The horses
took the jump together, when Bully Boy
went down, falling on young Holloway and
rendering him unconscious.
There was great excitement, which was
not allayed for some time.

Free Silver, also got bad fall earlier in
this race.

 A good deal of Turkish traffic in slaves is conducted in the following manner on very well conceived com mercial principles: The wife of a paaha, as matter of speculation, purchases two or three little girls for a trifie, either from slave dealer CT some poor woman. generally a Christian, possibly a Bulgarian refugee who is unable to bring up her own children. The lady educates each child, teaches it those ac- complishments which are indispensable to hafem life, such as singing, dancing and playing on musical instruments, washing, starching, ironing, embroid- cry and even little cookery.
