 Eight horses faced the starter in the chief race of the day, and Meehanus closed fa- vorite at to l, with Alard Scheck, Musette and Belle of Lexington about equal second choices. There was tiresome delay at the post but they were finally sent off in fine order. Shaw rushed Musette out to make the running, and she led led by three lengths around the far turn and into the stretch, with Meehanus and Belle of Lex ington next. The fast pace told on all three and they were passed in the stretch by the rear division, Alard Scheck coming through with a great burst of speed and winning cleverly by a length from Rush, with old Kinninc third. In the first race Unmasked came down the last five and a half furlongs of the Eclipse course in 1:O314, within second of the worlds record for the dis tance. Unfortunately, Henry foued Sil- yerdale a sixteenth from home, which re- suited in his disqualification, giving the race to Lady Uncas, who was beaten only neck. Henry was fined $50 for his rough riding

FRENCH FINANCES
A Satisfactory Statement Issued by tie
 Government

Paris, October 11.-A financial statement Issued today shows a very satisfactory state of affairs for the exposition year. The revenue for the nine months ending with October yields a surplus of S7, 900 francs over the estimates and an increase of 65,- OOO,O0O franc over the same period of 1899. This increase is in spite of the fact that the estimates were fixed at 200O0,OO francs above 1890 on account of expansion of rev. enue calculated to result from the exposi- ton. The increase, however, will be nearly all swallowed up by the Chinese credit, which already amounts to 10000, GOO francs. But the government counts upon wiping out the latter by the indemnity to be eventu- ally exacted from China

MR. STEVENSON
 IS CONFIDENT Believes the Democrats Will be Successful in the Novem-
 Der Election.

Baltimore, October 11.-Adlai Stevenson arrived here this forenoon. and was driven directly to his hotel. T am feeling in splendid health, and I am confident of Democratic success" said MT. Stevenson. Already I have spoken in three or four States, and my reception everywhere has been cordial and the enthusiasm pro- nounced. The people are alive to the real issues of the campaign, and in my personal talks with the representative men of the localities I have visited there is every cause for satisfaction with the outlook for vic- tory in November.
 T have great hope of Maryland being re- stored to the Democratic column, where she really belongs.
 Tn West Virginia there is splendid or ganization among the Democrats, and their leaders are working hard for success. The situation in Illinois is rapidly assuming satisfactory shape, and we are exceedingly hopeful of the outcome"

NEW BUILDINGS
 FOR THE SCHOOLS

side If the city would pay off an old judg- ment the company had against it. A com mittee was appointed to confer with MT. London, attorney for the Birmingham Real ty Company, and finally an agreement was reached whereby the city was to pay off the judgment and the company to donate the two sites. The cost of the two lots was deducted from the appropriation of $50, GOO the city had made for the new build ings. At the meeting of the Board of Ed ucation the other night six architects were present with their plans and estimates Their estimates did not vary over $4OOO"
 MT. Ullman had prepared some figures, which he claimed showed that it would be impossible to erect the three new buildings for $S5,OOO. He said that the Henley school building, with about 26,O00 feet of Goor, cost about $4S, 900. This school, he said has fifteen recitation rooms and it is proposed to have fourteen rooms in the new build ings. The floor space in the new buildings will aggregate about 36,4O0 feet. The Hen- ley school cost s1.6O per foot, and, passing the cost of the new buildings at 10 cents per foot less, their cost will be about $5t- 900. He said if plans could be devised by which the three buildings can be construct ed for $35, 900, he would be willing to under take their construction, but that he was not willing to go ahead as the conditions now stand.
 There are twezty-three rooms in the Henley, Powell and Paul Hayne schools that are so overcrowded," continued MT. Ullman, that children have been turned away. Paul Hayne turned away forty chill dren All the schools in the city, public and private, are crowded as never before. There are 300 children in the High School, and if we had the room for them we could have 500."
 Mayor Drennen's Informatien
 Mayor Drennen said he wished to make a statement for the information of the peo- pie of Birmingham He said:
 Tn January committee consisting of members of the City Counsel and of the Board of Education met to confer as to the advisability of erecting new school budld- ings The committee recommended that three new buildings be provided-one in the vicinity of Lakeview, one in the vicinity of the Birmingham Rolling Mill, and one on the North Highlands. An appropr 'n of $50, 900 was asked for, and was alio o" d by the Board of Mayor and Aldermen. Lots were selected and the prices compared with the prices of other lots in the same vicini- ties, and we found that they were cheaper than we could buy other lots near them.
 "The Birmingham Realty Company. sev- eral years ago, obtained judgment against the city for $9064 in the matter of taxes un- justly paid. The two lots offered to the city were valued at s7soo making total

SEED SITUATION
Worry the Mississippi Cotton Seed Oil
 Manufacturers

Jackson, Miss, October 11.-Numerous conferences are being held by the cotton oil manufacturers of Mississippi relative to the controlling prices to be paid for seed. The mills are now paying s18 per ton, and as the crop is 50 per cent short, 1t is the general belief that the price will advance to at least SIS within the next few weeks.
 The manufacturers say, however, they cannot afford to pay more than the present price, and that they are losing money on seed products at the prevailing figure. Many of the mills are holding their oil in the ex- pectation of an advance. It is believed by some people interested that two-thirds of the mills will be closed down by Christmas on account of the seed shortage.

 General Rhodes Remarks
 General Rhodes said that recently an arrangement had been made to get S25O, 900, $50, 900 of which was to be used in the con struction of new school buildings and the balance in the construction of new city hall He said that the citizens of Birming- ham were not of one mind as to the abso- lute necessity of a new city hall, but that all were united in the opinion that addi- tional school buildings should be provided. He said the trade the Mayor had made in the settlement of the Birmingham Realty Company's judgment had nothing to do with the appropriation for the schools and should not be considered in connection with 1t.
 General Charles M. Shelley asked Mayor Drennen If there was any agreement by which the $S0O0 paid the Birmingham Realty Company should come out of the special appropriation and being assured there was not then said it should come out of the general fund.
 President Mcdonald of the Birmingham Realty Company said that it was not the policy of his company to donate lands for public purposes, such as manufacturing enterprises, and so on, but when the com mittee from the City Council and the Board of Education came to him and asked for the donation of land for the school build ings, he told them he would lay the matter before his directors. The compromise by which the city paid $SOOO in satisfaction of ,..e judgment was effected and the com pany then donated the two lots.
 B. Steiner of the Board of Education stated that when the board took up the question of the two buildings it wanted to provide seating capacity for POO children in the Lakeview district 200 in the Birming- ham Rolling Mill district and 300 in the North Highlands district He said the board was informed that sufficient accom- modations could be provided for about s40- 0tv. He said that the board proposed put ting up the best possible buildings for the least amount of money possible. If they Sooiu uo II ioA ]oo,vVV lhcy Woulu not SpeHu any more; but if s45,OO0 or even s6O, 900 were necessary, he was satisfied the city could set it.
