The Omaha EXPOSITION.

Mr.. j. B. Kitchen. a member ~ the
in charge Of the agricultural exhibit st
the Greater Amsrica Exposition in
Omaha. AID $4,000 has been set saide
for the payment Of cash premiums tor
County displays in this department.
There will be twenty five prizss
ranging from saOO to $1,000. and every
county making creditable display will
,ceive at least 600. As many counties
have already arranged for collective
agri, ultural exhibits through an inwar |
desire and de'ermin ition to exphi
their bear products and rssour ;es. this
additional incentive will insure q large
agricultural display.-Ex.
1t is to be hoped that the cash prises
will turn out better than their medals
dill last year. There were u number Of
gold medals awarded to fruit growers OF
Delta county. who made exhibit there.
and one awarded to the county for the
collective display. but every medal whom
received turned out to he made Oe .
cheap article Of bronze and ss big ~ =
saucer. There is firm in Chicago that
make medals of this description by the
ton and it would have been money in
the pockets OF our exhibitors to have
purchased their medals outright from
the manufacturer instead Of getting IL
by way of the Omaha Exposition.

The Coming Yacht Race.
Hartford Courant.


The first of the great yacht races
comes off on Tuesday. October 3. That
is but two weeks from next Tuesday
1t is hurrying right along; and, though
Dewey Day will be occupying public
attention meanwhile, still the race will
be here very soon-sll the sooner by
the great demonstration.
Each yacht has already suffered &C.
cident, and neither accident was of the
unavoidable sort. Their spars have
been giving way and that means that
with less weight and so
less strength than they ought to
carry. There are three points at least
to be considered in the race. The
boats themselves are the first and
chief, but their rig and their manage
ment are very likely to be the deter
mining factors in the contest.
| 1t will be an international misfortune
if there Is an accident to either bost
on the day of the race. Everybody
| wants his favorite to win, but all want
the victory won out in a fair contest
aud not secured by any default. even if
that Is the result of the misjudgment
or over-sharpness of the other side.
Whether it blows high Or only breezes
gently, each vessel should be so rugged
as to be able to make the most of the
SITUATION ana nOb TO De handicapped Oy
the mistake of her managers.
There is no finer sight IN the world
than one of these international yacht
races. Perhaps, great naval review
or procession has some more impress
i've qualities. The towering warships
with their frowning guns and their in
timstions of mortality are more sug-
gestive, but the suggestion is not
agreeable. The shadow of death is over
them. That is their mission. But the
gay scene of the yacht race is all
life. The Unlocking gathering in
cludes every sort of craft from
the finest and most luxurious
yacht that wealth can buy to the fish
ing smack and even the rowboat. The
high seas are free to all but pirates
and everybody makes use of his oppor-
tunity. To all but the sea-sick it is q
complete day of pleasure given over en-
tirely to enjoyment. The excitement |
of q close race and the spectacle of the |
gathering of boats of every description |
make the occasion unique and enter
tanning beyond any other event of what
[s called sport.
The contest this year Is the more |
eagerly anticipated from the sensible |
and welcome demonstrations of good |
nature that have been given by each |
side. The last Epglishmsn to enter the |
contest was q cad, who claimed he was |
cheated and otherwise made fool of |
himself aud the country he undertook |
to represent. This year whatever is |
the outcome only good will can be the |
result of the friendly meeting.

ammunition for them. A few days
ago he began to load the United Fruit
company's steamship Hiram Dumois
with guns and ammunition.
Aboard the ship he had small gun
boat placed, one of light draft such as
should be used in shallow rivers.
The gunboat was built In three Sec
tions, so that it could be loaded aboard
q steamship. The Hiram Dumois plies
between New Orleans and Ceiba, but
this trip she will go to Cozumel
direct, where she will discharge her
cargo.

There is a Deluge at Calvert,
Texas.

Calvert, Tex, July 1.-The most
disastrous storm for several years
in this district occurred last night.
The streams and rivers around
here overhowed their banks and
much property was destroyed by
the flood. A number of lives were
lost. So far, only five bodies have
been recovered, all negroes. A
large number Of houses in the
lower part of the city are flooded.
The railroad bridges at both ends
of the town have been destroyed.
1t is reported that the Little and
Big Big Brazos rivers have met.
It is impossible to get between the
two rivers to ascertain the extent
of the damage in the intervening
country. The water is said to be
from 16 to 20 feet deep IN many
places. In the Calvert coal mine
camps the water is six feet deep.
The damage to property is in
calculable. 1t is still raining.
Dallas, Tex, July Late
tonight the Dallas News received
the following by telephone from
Calvert, Tex: From all reports,
every bridge within a radius of 10
miles from here has been swept
away. The rescuing parties are
still at work. This evening a
family of four were taken from a
tree at the coal mine camps, after
having been in their place of safety
for II hours. The .convicts who
were employed at the mines were
carried in boats to Milan county.
Three negroes were added to the
list Of drowned today. There are
probably many more drowned
whose bodies will not be recovered
until the water falls.
The rain has ceased, but the
clouds are threatening.
