GRAND CIRCUIT RACES.
Favorable Weather and Track Con-
dittons but Small Attendance.

cleveland, O., July 24.-The grand cir
cult races began to-day under favorable
weather and track conditions but the
attendance was somewhat diminish
ed owing in the main to the street rail-
road strike There were four events on
the programme, the 2:14 trot 2:16 pace,
227 pace and 2:10 trot. Only two races
were finished, one being postponed en-
tirely and the other going over unfin-
ished. The race of most interest was
the 2:14 trot. Attoka was hot favor
ite before the race began, but he only
got one heat, and after hot finishes be-
tween Charley Kerr, Bonnatella and
Attoka, Chanty finally landed the race.
Macmillan, the favorite, would have
won the 2:16 pace with ease in the first
three heats but for an accident to his
sulky in the first heat. The heat was
finished on one wheel, and Mccarthy
was thrown at the stretch but no other
damage was done. It took the favorite
until the fourth heat to recover himself
and then he went out, winning as he
pleased. The pools sold with Maximil-
lian favorite at $50, Gypsy Red $25. Star
Hal and Sweet Violet $40 each and the
remainder of the field S25.
The 2:27 pace was the most disappoint-
ing of all the talent Harry O. was
picked as sure winner and was play
ed vigorously at any price. Sphynx S.
was too speedy, however, and he won
the two heats finished, after exciting
contests with Harry o. and Orin B. in
the second. The 2;19 trot went over un-
til tomorrow.

pers also stated that the meeting was
called to whip into line the republican
members, to instruct them to vote as q
unit on all matters which come up for
action in the court of common council,
but two of the gentlemen who attended
last noght's caucus stated that this also
was untrue. He said that the meeting
was called by the caucus chairman Dr.
Baldwin, in order that the members
might become acquainted with each 9TH
er. Many of the members were strang-
ers when they were elected to the COM
mon council and it was thought that it
would be well for them to become ac-
quainted.
councilman who attended the eau
Gus stated at its close that the advisibil-
lty OF voting together in the common
council had come up and that there was
no objection to that course expressed and
that the republican members should vote
together on questions which arose when
so instructed by the leaders. The gen
tleman did not state who had been des-
ignated as leaders.
1t was learned after the adjournment
OF the caucus that the street sprinkling
matter was informally discussed and
that thesdecision was made to work to
secure contract sprinkling this season

the mayor and the aldermen, for sprink-
ling by the city next year.
one of the councilmen who attended
the meeting said that the opinion general
~ expressed by the gentlemen present
was that it would be impossible to vote
as unit on all matters that came be-
fore the common council, but that so
far as possible the republican members
should vote together.
