TRACK TO BE AT BALL PARK
VIII Be an Eight Lap-Crack Riders of the Country to Be Brought Here-Near- y all Races to be Rden Un-

 President-A. Mcleod.
 Vice-President-Jack Riddle.
 Secretary and Treasurer-John Snyder.
 General Managerial Warren.
 The track will be located at the West End bali park, and will be eight laps or one-eighth of d mile in circumference.
 It will be an outdoor track, and the stretches will be of dirt. The curves, how ever, will have to be so heavily banked that they must be made of wood, like the regulation indoor track. What are now the "bleaohers" in the ball park will be con- verted into the grand stand, and boxes will be added. The start and finish of all races will take place just in front of it.
 About $500 will be expended in putting the track in shape. The plans have been com pleted, and if possible work will begin to- morrow and be finished in about three weeks. According to the present arrange mehts, the company wants to nave the lrst races about August 10
 Arrangements are being made to bring the very fastest riders in the country here, and the company promises that none but the best shall appear on the Birmingham track.
 There is a southern circuit being formed including Birmingham, Atlanta and other cities in Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee and Kentucky, which will induce the crack riders to make the trip south.
 An amateur race Is already being ar- ranged to take place as soon after it is completed as possible and others will doubt less be arranged shortly.
 The track will be brilliantly illuminated and nearly all of the races vii ltaze place at night. As there is to be no more base ball. and as Birmingham is eager for an outdoor sport of some kind it is thought that these races will prove very popular

Five Carloads of Ordnance Stores Arrive at Camp Thomas Yesterday-0ne Million Re- volyers From Frankland Arsenal
 Hospital Reports Good.

chickamauga National Park, July 1S.- Speculation was rife throughout camp day as to what regiments will go with Gen eral Brooke to Porto Rico. There is not regiment in the First corps but what is expecting to form part of the Porto Ri- can force, and many of them are buoyed up by feeling that they are sure to be included in the order.
 E It is natural to suppose that the First and Second divisions as they now exist will constitute the expeditlonary force, but precedents have proven that the war de- partment cannot be relied upon to send bri- gade Organizations to the front as they ex- ist in camp For various reasons impor- tant changes may be made and the troops re-brigaded.
 Ordnance Stores Arrive
 Five carloads of ordnance stores arrived today, including one car of rifles and re- volyers from the Columbia arsenal, two cars of general equippage from the Rock Island arsenal and two cars of ammuni- tfon, total of one million revolvers from the Franklin arsenal at Philadelphia.
 The wagon train of the Second brigade, first division, first corps, left for Charles ton this afternoon, being placed on board the cars at Rossville. It is accepted conclusive that General Haines brigade, consisting of the Fourth Pennsylvania, the rOuFtH OHio ana lnlru llllnOlS, Will go IOr- ward not later than Wednesday. It is the opinion at General Brookes headquarters that the entire force to be included in the order will leave the park during the pres ent weeek.
 Privat Harry Chiles, Fifth Illinois, died suddenly last night from peritonits, pro- duced by eating unripe fruit. The remains were inferred in the National cemetery to- day.
 Reports from the various hospitals today were encouraging, the sick in almost ev- cry case doing well, and very few addi- tions were made to the sick list. The san- ftary conditions of the various camps are being rapidly improved.

 The arrears act of 1897 restored to all --invalids and widows-the dating of their pensions from the discharge, or death, of the soldier, on whose services the claim for pension was based, pro- vlded their claims were filed prior to July 1. 1880. The widows arrears act of 1888 gave to all past, present and fu- ture widow claimants, independent of the date of filing their claims, the priv ilege of receiving pay for pensions al- lowed from the date of their husband s death. but the poor soldier, who filed subsequent to July l, 1880, could receive pension only from date of that fling
 I object to our present system, inas- much as it greatly favors the widow above the veteran. I object to 1t be- cause under 1t the term war widow" one of honorable meaning, has been deprived of it's real significance. My sympathies are with the comrades, with whom I marched and fought, all the more so, because I went through the war unscathed. and have been fa- vored with sufficient education to ena- ble me to earn my support independent of manual labor, which I cannot per- form. and which few of the veterans now averaging sixty years of age can.

Pictures of the War.

Tonight at the Lyceum a series of thrill
ing pictures of the late war will be shown
by Lyman Howe's Wargraph. One pic
ture shows the bombardment of Cabanas
Fortress by the New York. After the
bombardment great holes may be seen
in the fort, showing the work of destruc-
tion. Another scene shows the lombard
ment of Matanzas by the New York and
the monitor Puritan. The dynamite
cruiser Nesuvius in action is one of the
best of the series. From her pneumatic
guns may be seen coming the terrible
charges of guncotton and their effect in
tearing away portions of d hill over a
mile away creates deep impression on
the audience. Defending the flag is
the title of a thrilling scene showing a
land battle. Men and officers may be Sc IN
shot and falling on all sides. An officer
who stands by the side of a cannon grabs
the flag and holds ii against all, de-
Tending himself with pistol and then with
sword until all about him are dead and
wounded.
