The Cathedral parish picnic at the
fair grounds largely augmented thesat-
tendance upon the nineteenth day of
the running race meeting Of the Wheel
ing Jockey Club. The track was fast,
but the best runners did not appear
upon tho card for the afternoon. In
the third race Neary rode Crown.
and his palpabTe efforts to prevent
his mount from going under the wire
first were noticed, ard commented up
on by the spectators. After the race.
Judge Waugh suspended Neary, and
has also decided to make the owner OF
the horse a subject for investigation.
Neary's offense was committed when
the horses were nearing the turn on the
back stretch.
There will be nc races this afternoon.
The track must be placed in shape for
the bicycle races on Labor Day, and
the club has therefore decided TO pre-
pare an attractive progI anime for sat
urday, when the summer meeting Will
be brought TO a close. The card Will
include q steeplechase,, which should
bring out a big GROVE, as no similar
race has ever been attempted in this
locality. After Saturday the work or
preparing for the State air will begin.
The fall and winter meeting CT the
Wheeling Jockey Club will open Mon
day, September IL. One or two sta
bIes OF horses will be taken to the
track at Carnegie, Pa, where a run
ming race experiment is being made.
~ ,ar will and a nnm her
will participate in the running races
during the State Fair.
Everything favored the ''bockie-"
yesterday, and the cay was very sue
cessful for them. The first race was
taken easily by Hope, whom no per-
son considered even possible winner.
Very little money left the boxes after
the race Hope was 10 to l, and En-
sign and Sister Ida were strong favor
ties. Hope led all the way, and won
handiIy.
Monroe Doctrine showed excellent
form in the second race. 1t was very
pretty contest between Corn Cob and
the winner, the two running like a
team for almost the entire distance,
Monroe Doctrine winning by burst
Of speed at the finish.
The start was poor in the third race,
and Neary's conduct on Grown allowed
A. B. Dade to win easily Crown fin
ished second.
Tampa was a strong favorite in the
hurdle race, selling at 3 to and to 2.
Arundel was a to / shot. The start
was good, after slight delay, and all
the horses took the jumps nicely. At
ter the first half had been run, 1t was
apparent that there was but one horse
in it for first place. Torstenson was
second, five lengths ahead of Tampa.

Washington, August Ex-senator
Davis, Of Minnesota, and Senator
Frye, of Maire, who have been select
ed for peace commissioners, arrived at
the White House a little before 10
o'clock to-day and Immediately begun
a conference with the President over
the coming labors of the commission
at Paris.
The conference lasted two hours anil
a half and then the two Senator's call
ed on Secretary Day, who will be the
chairman of the commission. Reti-
cence was observed respecting the
conference, which went fully into de-
tails OF the American position at the
meeting of the peace commission.
AT the State Department at II
O'Clock Secretary Day joined Sanators
Davis and Frye and for an hour ard
a quarter remained closeted.
AS result of the meeting it can be
stated. with positiveness that Messrs.
Day, Davis and Frye are members o.
the peace commission. 1t is under
stood that the remaining txo meIn
bers have been selected and will be
announced by Saturday. At the meet
ing to-day the general plans of the
commission as to proceeding to Paris
were talked over and an understand
ing reached that the start be made be-
tween September Is and 30
Aside from these formalities the
commissioners went into some of the
more serious questions Of policy which
will come before them.
The commissioners expect to be &C.
cupied for several days in a discussion
OF the more important matters to come
before the tribunal and in the prep
aration OF the American side CT the
case.
The question whether the negotia-
tons with the Spanish commissioners
would be in the English or French
language will not be determined prior
to the arrival of the commissioners in
Paris. 1t is matter that must be Get
tied by all the commissioners, and will
not be determined arbitrarily by the
American commissioners in advance
of the meeting.
Owing to reports current today that
only three American commissioners
would be appointed it was stated au-
thoritatively this afternoon that the
commission would consist of five mem
bers and that one of the commission
ers would be a Democrat.
At the close Of office hours to-day
Secretary Day went from the State
Department to the White House,
where he held an extended talk with
the President, presumably upon the
final makeup Of the commission. The
meeting OF the three commissioners
to-day would be the only enc of Sc
ries Of this character until September
Is, when the five commissioners will
come 10 Washington for a final con-
ference before sailing for Paris. In
the meantime the two commissioners
not yet named may come to Wash
ington if it happens to be convenient,
although there is felt to be no neces-
sity for a conference until September
18th.

GENERAL GARCIA.
Desires to Reconsider Action Taken
After Surrender Of Santiago.

NEW YORK, Aug. PA special to
the Herald from Santiago says:
General Garcia who, in anger because
Santiago after its surrender was not
turned over to the Cubans, severed all
relations with the United States army
and withdrew his troops. indicated a
desire to reconsider his action in a let
ter that has been received by General
Shafter. The letter is dated at Gibara,
August 9th. 1t is in response to a re-
quest made by General Miles on July
18th, when he was planning his eXpe-
dition to Porto Rico, that General Gar
cia detail fifty Cubans from his army
to accompany the expedition as guides
and scouts.
In his reply General Garcia said that
as he understood General Miles had al
ready sailed, he supposed it would be
too late to comply with his request. He
stated, however, that he is willing to
furnish the fifty men if they still are
wanted and inclosed an order for them.
A dispatch to the Evening World
from Santiago de Cuba, August 11th,
says: Jack York of Pennsylvania, who
has been serving with Garcia, the Gu
ban General, has just arrived here. He
reports that Garcia has suspended op-
erations for thirty days, and given his
men permission to go home, with in
structions to report to him at the end
of that period.
