THE BUFFALO RACES.
Favorites Won in All Races of the
First Day of the Meeting.

BUFFALO, n. Y. August 1.-TWO Ia
vorites scored in the three races pre-
scented at the opening card for the But-
falo grand circuit meeting held at thu
Fort Erie, Ont, track this afternoon.
About 600 people crossed the river TO
attend the sport. and there was n brisk
play In the auctions. DlllonIte was ex-
pected to accomplish great deal when
he encountered Palm Leaf and the.
others in the 2:1ei class, trotting. the
first on the days card. In the early
pooling he was sold first SIS against $50
on the field. He was NOT In form, how
ever. and the only heat he got In the
race was a gift. as every other good
horse had bad break early in the mile.
After the second heat In 2:12h. York
Boy won handily, although 4 break In.
the third heat made him travel an extra
mile.
Winona was 500 to s55 favorite be-
fore the first heat. OF tho 2:l6 pace in
the Empire stake, and she justified the
confidence OF the public by reclIns OF
three straight heats, far In front.
The 2:12 trot. the Niagara River
Stakes, was conceded to Thomas Law
sons Boralma, and she was barred In
all pool selling.

Hon. Henry BOIL came In from Co.
lumbus yesterday evening. and held n
social and business session with local
Decorah public opinion. (Decorah, Winneshiek County [Iowa]) 1895-1928, 1900-01-17
In Grateful Recognition.

For some time the report has been
current in Decorah that E. S. Gjellum,
of the editorial staff of the Decorah
Posten,, was about to resign the posi-
ton he has held for fifteen years past
on account of impaired health, and
seek recuperation in milder climate.
He departed yesterday for Alabama,
and his family will reside with rela-
tives at Albert Lea, Mimi, while he is
absent. Last Wedne sday evening just
before closing hours the entire Posten
force gathered In Mr.. Anundsen's pri-
vate office and Mr.. Gjellum was called
in before them. With few appropri-
ats reuiarks Mr.. Anundsen presented
him with handsome gold watch
bearing the inscription "E. S. Gjel-
lum, from b. Anundsen, in grateful
appreciation of fifteen years of faith
ful service. Decorah, Iowa, Jan. 10,
1900" An elegant chain, also.of the
finest quality, was attached to the
watch, the gift of the employees of the
office. Of course Mr.. Gjellum was
overcome with heartiest appreciation,
and will value the gift as long as he
lives. But he was eminently deserv-
ing. He was always faithful. con-
scientious and industrious assistant in
the office, and his presence will be
greatly missed.
