GOSSIP OF THE TROTTERS.

Isaac Fromme. attorney for the W. H. clark
estate has arranged with Andrew Miller ex-Presi-
dent of the Driving Club of New-York, to manage
the Grand Circuit trotting meeting TO be held at
Empire City Park next September. 1t is under
stood that Mr.. Miller will form small club TO
control harness racing, while the business manage
ment will remain in the hands of the estate and
its representatives The names Of the horsemen
who will be invited to take part in the movement
have not yet been made public but IT is said that

Owing to the fact that May &C. the day announced
for the annual spring opening of the Parkway Driv
ing Club is Handicap Day at the Brooklyn Jockey
Clubs course, just across Kings Highway. the
Parkway opening will probably take place on Sat
urday, May 19. Two regular trotting meetings
be given by the club this year; the first In June
and the last in September. 1t Is probable that a
third meeting will be held under the auspices of
the newly formed driving club of Lynbrook, Long
Island, that organization having failed account
of litigation to obtain possession OF the half mile
track at LynbroOk. The Parkway Driving Club has
invited the New York Road Drivers Association
to hold its proposed wagon races for amateurs in
Brooklyn, and the invitation will doubtless be
be made for the use of the mile track at Empire

Columbia. Special. - Election re-
turns from nearly all Of the coun-
ties have been received, and
all that is to be done is for them to be
tabulated by the State board of can
vassers. So far there has been only
one notice of contest filed with the Sec
retary of state. This is in the case u
the congressional election in the FlrsI
district. Congressman Elliott was op-
posed in that district by w. W. Becke;,
colored, who received comparatively
few votes in any county in the district.
Nevertheless, he makes a general pro-
test against the counting OF the Fo'e
for Col. Elliott on the ollowlnS
grounds: That the said ballots which
were cast and returned for William
Elliott at said election. were not lega!
ballots under the laws OF the state oI
South Carolina. Because said ballots
were not of proper color and did not
show for what Office the said William
Elliott was intended to be chosen.
This protest was filed with the cleo
tion ranysssers of Charleston. After
reading it the board declared that they
found the ballots cast for William Ell
lott, for representative in Congress
from the First district OF South caro-
lima. were two and one-haf inches
wide By five inches long, clear and even
cut without ornament. designation.
mut;lat:on. symbol or mark OF any KIND
whatever. except the name Of William
Elliott representative n Congress.
First district, and that the ballot was
properly printed and according to the
laws governing elections in this State:
The board, therefore, declared Col. Ell
lott duly entitled to receive the votes
cast for him. Beckett proposes to make
a similar contest before the State can
vassing 5oard, and presumably this is
but the first step towards taking the
contest up to the national house OF rep
resentativeS.

PARIS SHOW ENDS.
The Great Exposition Closes With
Brilliant Scenes.

Paris, BY Cable.-The exposition
closed Monday with the evening illu-
mination. Five tickets were charged
for one admission. There were few
visitors in tie daytime, tickets lacking
purchasers at a sou each. The BOOM
ing OF cannon from the first story OF
The Eiffel tower announced that the
exposition Of 1900 had ceased to exist.
It ended in blaze OF illumination, the
final evening being celebrated by q
night fete. The attendance, however,
was small, visitors being kept away
by cold, drizzling rainfall. Official
statistics show that the exposition was
& gigantic success from the point OF
view of attendance, which was double
that OF the exposition OF 1889, when
25,121,975 passed the gates. When the
gates of the exposition Of 1900 closed
this evening, more than 50.000,000 per-
sons had passed through. The British
and Relgians headed the lis. in 1889, in
point of number, but this year the
Germans were first and the Belgians
second with the British far behind.
Americans also formed a very notice
able contingent. Indeed they were i'm
mcasurably more numerous than at the
previous exposition. The record pay
ing day this year brought our more
than 100000 visitors, as comqared with
maximum OF 335,377 in 1889. This
evening tickets which had brought
sou IN the afternoon, were So. at the
rate OF five for sou.
A curious scene was witnessed al the
exposition gates shortly before 8
O'Clock, when the authorized ticket
booths which earlier in the day had
been selling tickets for two SOUS, re-
dqccd the price to one. The street
hawkers, indignant at this, attached
cards to their coats inscribed: Give
you a ticket for nothing
The work of removing the exhibits
can begin after midnign.. No vestige
will he left of the great exposition but
the art palaces. Inc pIcesL Ol TIC
Seine submitted to the municipal coun.
Gil a scheme to demolish all the build
ings on the Champs de Mars and Tro-
cadero. The centre OF the grounds will
be maintained in the form OF gardens
for the Establishment Of the city,
while the wide border will be sold for
building lots for the erection OF man
sions and hotels. The State is asked to
abandon its right to use the site for
future expoeitions.
The closing days OF the exposition
have been marked by wholesale balm
seizures OF the properties OF num-
Der of concession holders, chiefly res
taurant-keepers and proprietors OF
side shows, who have failed to meet
their financial obligations.

Alaskan Report.

The report Of Ger. Randall, OF the
department Of Alaska, conveys con-
firmation OF the reports which have
come from that region, from time to
time, concerning the decimation OF the
Indian and Eskimo inhabitants. Gen.
Randall makes it clear the advent Of
the white man from the States IS re-
sponsible for the difficulties OF the
aborigires and appeals for prompt
succor. The golG hunter has taken
from the Indian his means Of subsis-
+ence and communicated to the Eski-
mo his diseases without giving to the
one new resources, or to the other the
knowledge and remedies necessary to
combat the imported ailments.

Roanoke, Va, Special.-Virginia
College, an institution for young la

limits of Roanoke, was totally de-
stroyed by fire at an early hour We'd
nesday morning. 1t was snort while
after the rising bell had been rung,
when it was discovered the railways
Of the big building were filed with
smoke. The young ladies were no.
titled to lose no time in getting out Of
the building; to stop for nothing. The
worL was quickly passed s~ound and
the young ladies, $50 in number, made
their way out, many OF them thinly
clad, hardly any with anything more
than the simplest costumes OF the
bedroom. There was little confusion
and no great excitement. AS soon as
men reached the scene they cheerfully
loaned their overcoats to tn girls in
light costumes. Some OF the neigh
bors in the meanwhile brought blank
cts, and the girls who had the least
clothing went into nearby houses.
The Hre started in the boiler room,
exactly how is not known. 1t made
quick work and in less than two hours
the buildings were entirely destroyed.
The desks from the business Office and
few articles OF furniture was about
all that was saved. The building was
Of brick and fitted with all modern
conveniences. The loss IS $4,000,
with about $4,000 insurance. The
building belonged to Miss Harris and

and they did so.
Divorces have grown to such an alaT-
ming extent in Indianapolis, Ind, that
the Judges have agreed to suppress
the record Of divorces granted. They
place this action upon moral grounds.
Judge Carter, of the supreme court,
said, in explaining their action, that il
IS believed women are impressed with
the ease of securing divorces when they
read the long lists of cases. The judges
believe eight hundred divorces are en-
tirely too many for the county in one
year and will do all they can to sup
press the evil.
