COLUMBUS, O., July 31.-Perfect
weather and the largest crowd of the

mers at the driving park this after
noon Last nights rain put the track
in excellent condition. and all three
heat winners in the 2:09 pace broke
their records, as did Onward Silver,
winning the 2:12 trot. The racing was
by far the best of the meeting, and
thousands of dollars went into the pool
box.
The first race, the 2:09 pace, went to
Stacker Taylor, who gave one of the
gamest exhibitions ever seen at the
track George W. was a strong favor
lite over the other seven starters, SELL
ing at so to 80 for the field, with Car

won the first heat in 2:0SA lowering
his record a second and a half George
took the next two heats, each in 2:06A
reducing his mark from POS. Carmine,
who finished outside the money both at
Detroit and Cleveland, paced the fourth
heat in 2:O7A. Stacker Taylor won
the fifth in fast time, and the sixth
from George and Carmine, non-heat
winners having been sent to the stable.
George drove hard for the last heat,
but could not reach the son of Cap
tain Cook.
Onward Silver was favorite at so
to so for the PIP trot, in which there
were only four starters. He broke
badly in each of the first stwo heats,
which were won by Cornelia Belle.
Geers finally got the favorite settled,
and he won the third, fourth and fifth
heats, reducing his record for 2:10$
in the final mile.
DR.. Book, favorite in the 2:14 trot
took the first two heats. with Wanbon
half a length behind. He looked like
a winner in the third, but Oracle On
ward drove him TO break, forty yards
from the wire, and won the heat. Wan

WOOL.
BOSTON, July 31.-The American
Wool and Cotton Reporter will say to

BOSTON, July 31.-The American
Wool and Cotton Reporter will say to-
morrow of the wool trade:
The market continues on an even
keel with continued eheerfulness, a
more or less uniform amount of bust
ness and with more or less of a con-
viction that the market is to sell higher
in the future than the price at present.
The fact that buyers have been paying
high prices ont west shows that they
expect to sell at better prices here.
Buying is, on the whole, distributed;
that is to say, the buyers from medium
size mills are here as well as the con-
slant visitors from the larger concerns.
The smaller buyers are here because
they have orders to fill Mills general
ly have orders enough to keep their
machines running through August and
perhaps through September and they
have had to buy wool in order to be
able to execute these orders.
The sales of the week in Boston
amounted to 100000 pounds domestic
and 10000 pounds foreign, making a
total of 100000 pounds, against to-
tai of 6,750000 for the previous week,
and a total of 326S, 500 for the CORE
spending week last year.
The receipts of wool in Boston this
week amount to 1887 bales, against
80. 1853 bales last week and sob bales
last year.
Shipments of wool for the week
ended July 20 were 5,637, S96 pounds,
This shows an increase of 662 1852
pounds over the shipments for the pre-
vious week. Since January l the total
shipments amount to 142 1888, 155
pounds

DAYTON, o., July 31.-To-day S
game was the worst of the season
from every possible standpoint. Day
ton defeated Wheeling with ease in
the dull and uninteresting contest. But
Ter, who pitched for Wheeling, had al
solutely nothing in the way of speed
Or curves, and the support given lin
was OF the most disappointing and
hopeless sort. Had not Dayton kindly
put an end to the exhibition, through
desire to quit before sundown, there
would have been no limit to the runs
and hits. All the way through the To-
Gals hit Butler when and where they
pleased. John Lovett, the Nelsonvilla,
o., 'phenom," pitched his first game
Tor Dayton and managed, by the aid of
support directly in contrast with that
given to Butler, to pitch a fairly good
game

TRIUMPH OF REFORM.

Seth Lows victory over the forces of
Tammany in New York, coupled as 1t
IS with the success of the fusion ticket
which he led, in so many points. means
much more than appears on the face.
1t Is the elimination of the arousing of
the people over the scandals affecting
almost every department of the govern
nlent of the city. Now that the cleans
ing is in sight, the people of the coun-
try will look on and admire and ap-
plaud.
Taken as n whole the result of the
baIIotting indicates that Republicanism
still retains it's hold upon the people of
the nation and that the control of all
branches of the government will not
pass from it for many years.
