too long, in fact, as it kept the people
who wished to see it completed at the park
until z o'clock, which resulted in fully
5000 people eating $50 o'clock dinners last
night. One cause of the very long show
was the military display, the evolutions of
the artillerymen being little extended.
But the military display was the feature
yesterday, and many hundreds for the first
time witnessed the rapid and exact
mareuvers of the army.
The spectators expected treat from the
soldiers and they were not disappointed.
When the cavalry swept into the arena,
the men riding four abreast, the column
divided into two equal parts. taking their
stations, one at the north, the other at the
south end of the arena, it was an imposing
scene. AT the bugle call the horses moved
toward the center and when the column
met the horses were turned into single
Gle and the cavalcade completely en-
circled the arena. touching its outer rim.
The horses were halted and a pretty eX-
hihition of side stepping was given, the
sides of the line coming together and FORM
ing a column. two abreast. Exhibitions of
ing crossed and the men standing clear
Of the saddle. The cinches were loosened
and charges were made with the horses on
the run, the men standing erect as firmly
poised, apparently, as though their saddles
were glued to the animals backs.
Barriers were erected and the horses

made secure and one half of the men took
up a position in the north part of the
arena Their horses laid down and then

firing their pistols and yelling like Indians.
Saber charges followed, hurdles were
jumped, twenty-four horses at a time, and
a number of other interesting feats were
performed. The artillery followed the
cavalry and gave an exhibition that, even
though 1t was a little long, was very in
teresting and showed the admirable train
ing of the men in the company. Begin.

occur at 8 o'clock. The programme will be
varied to-day and there will be especially
heavy firing.

position not to be looked upon lightly. Its
value to Mr.. Zevely was decidedly in

it where Mr.. Zevely will remain for life or
good behavior. The terms are synonymous
in his case because the only msdoing OF
which he has ever been accused was in his
choice of political faith. outside of that
he is all right.
Mr.. Zevely is on a business trip through
the West. He was sick when he arrived
here yesterday morning. and stopped for

TO PREVENT SALE OF THE U. P.
subcommittee of Senate Committee
on Pacific Railroads to Meet
To-day.

Washington, Sept. 6.-There will be a
meeting of the subcommittee Of the senate
committee on Pacific railroads in this city
tomorrow morning. The object Of the
meeting is to discuss ways and means to
prevent the consummation of the pending
deal for the transfer of the Union Pacific
organization committee for $45. 900.
The hope of the obstructionists lies in
the supposed intention Of Attorney General
McKenna to appeal from the United States
court at Omaha decreeing the sale of the
Union Pacific under the terms agreed to
by the government. 1t is now stated,
however, that Judge Mckenna will be
satisfied with certain verbal notifications
in the Omaha decree which the Union Pa
cific people have agreed to, and that there
will be no appeal. If such proves to be the
case the whole matter will probably be
closed up before congress meets, thus MAX

ANTI.FUsIoNIsTs TRIUMPH.
Colorado Democrats Decide in State
Convention at Denver to
Go 1t Alone.

Denver. Col. Sept. 6.-The Democrats to-
day decided that hereafter there shall be
no more fusion by that party with any
other. After a very heated session John
A. Gordon of Las Anlmas county,
straight Democrat. was nominated for SUI
preme court justice by a decisive vote of
233 to 167 A notable event was the an
nouncement on the floor of the convention
by a silver Republican that Judge Hayt,
who was nominated ON Friday by the Re
publicans at Denver and silver Republicans
at Glenwood would not accept the Denver
nomination because it would necessitate
his Endorsement of the st. Louis platform,
whereas his sympathies were with that
promulgated at Chicago. Efforts were
MADE to secure the Endorsement of the sill
yer Republican candidate, Judge Hayt. and
the Populist candidate, Judge Gabbert. but
the anti-fusionists triumphed. Only Judge
Gabbert's name was placed in competition
with that of Judge Gordon, with the re-
suit above noted.
