Jack Collins, the luckless jockey
who was injured at the race track
yesterday, was today sent to his
home in Council Bluffs. Last
night DR.. Colt thoroughly examin-
the boy to ascertain the extent Of
his injuries, and found he was in
q far more dangerous condition
than at frat presumed. About a
year ago the boy was injured
while riding horses and from this
injury he never completely recov-
cred. In yesterdays accident the
boy sustained injuries to his spine
aud head, and several days must
necessarily elapse before the ul-
innate outcome can be deter
mined.

and if he will 80 oblige he can
order the remainder of the week
likewise. The atmospheric con Iii.
tions, while not threatening, lead
one to believe that it might pre-.
cipit"te somewhat during the next
few days.
The business houses are turn
ing their attention to decorations
and by evening Erie street will
be gaily adorned with the red,
white and blue. The welcome
arches are neatly and tastefully
modelled, and will be resplendent
with the incandescent lights. The
reviewing stand and city hall
have assumed carnival colors and
enthusiastic admirers have sdorn.
ed their animal pets in the latest
creation of bunting.
Few companies have arrived,
but q sprinkling Of representa-
tives from different parts of the
state are here. This evening will
be the beginning.
Most of the competing COM
panies will arrive during the
night and at s o'clock Wednesday
morning specials from the east,
north and south, will land large
delegations in the city.
The parade promises to be the
largest and best ever witnessed,
both in numbers and points of ex-
oellence. Delegations from all
parts OF the state have signified
their intention of joining the pro-
oession and incidentally to take
all prizes obtainable.
Along the line Of march and
while you wait for the big show
the amusement man, the souvenir
man, and the man with the great
est novelty on earth will amuso,

your nickles and dimes.
You can purchase a command

row. Those who have front win.
dows and balconies have placed
the "to rent" placard in sight.
The thirsty will find al the latest
decoctiops in soft drinks-such as
orange, red, white and blue lem
onade and those who want water
can drink from the town hydrants.
And if you want anything in the
way of sandwiches, hot coffee and
weinies, you can find it. You
can't help from getting hungry
and carnival days and the lunch
man are synonymous.

the best. If he was a "Rescue,"
they were never beaten, but if he
belonged to the Bluff city team,
the Blufites always carried off the
honors. To hear them talk now
one wonders that Vine street is
anything but mass of cinders.
Enough fast trials we're made on
it to have burned it out of exis-
tencc. The Bluff Citys went to
the first state Tournament ever
held in Iowa, at Cedar Rapids, in
1879, and when word was received
here that they had carried off the
championship belt and were the
fastest team in Iowa, the town
went wild. When they returned
home they got welcome which
they have never forgotten. The
whole town was at the depot and
the cheers could be heard for
miles. It could be truly said,
"There's hot time in the old
town tonight" The "Rescues"
turned the tables on their rivals
at the state tournament held here
in 1881
WERE RUNNERS IN THEIR DAY.
The members of the two racing
teams, who are now citizens of
Council Bluffs, were: Charles
Nicholson, A w Askwith, James
g Bradley, y W Mitchell, John
Madden, John Oliver, Bert Seeley,
Jesse Walters, w G Walters,
Charles Watts, James Anderson,
James Amy, Thomas Bowman,
Phil Belts, G M Maynard, Charles
Mathai, John McGill, Charles
Stevens, John Templeton, Richard
Trumbull and G u Walters.
The two teams have won more
money and glory than those from
any other city in the state, even
the old veterans getting into line
at Atlantic, and carrying off the
prize for the best appearing COM
pany in the parade Of 1892. Prob
ably the only time the Council
Bluffs team was ever beaten in a
siIglehanded contest was at Mis-
souri, Valley in 1878, when the
leaders became frightened at the
engine and bolted the track. The
pipe men picked up the rope and
finished the run, but 80 much time
was lost that Missouri Valley took
the money, Much printers ink
and cuss words we're wasted as a
result of this race and for two or
three years the Missouri Valley
ties and the Bluff boys were at
loggerheads.
During the following few years
Council BluGs carried off the ma
jor share of the honors at all the
state tournaments and gained ma
tional reputation for speed. Mar
shalltown, Sioux City, Cedar
Rapids, Waterloo, Des Moines and
Dubuque all contributed first
prizes which our boys brought
home. With the coming of q
paid department came lack of
interest by the volunteers, and the
racing team was no more. But
the old:fremen who had seen the
fire apparatus grow from single
hook into q finely equipped paid
department, could not be content
to quit the field altogether and SO
in 1890, the Veter an Firemen's
association was organized. Since
that time the veterans have taken
great interest in all that pertains
to volunteer departments and are
making arrangements to attend
the Missouri Valley tournament
in body. A meeting will be held
at the patrol house this afternoon
at 3 o'clock to perfect arrange.
ments for the trip. A one-fare
rate has been made and the local
association will he joined here by
