Cawker City Meeting Proves q Most
Brilliant Event.

Cawker City, Kan, Aug. Ss.-The
grandest of many good meetings held
just closed. The grounds were in ex-
cellent condition, the accommodations
for camping better than ever before,
and the programme by far the best ever
given in western Kansas
The music by the Quaker male quar-
tet/w worth the price of admission
each day, and was supplemented by
Mrs. McConnells splendid vocal solos,
and Mrs: Jackson's artistic readings
w. J. Bailey fully met the fondest ex-
pectations of his friends, and his speech
was a mastery effort. If he doesn't
run clear out of sight of the balance
of the ticket, it will be because people
don't have chance to hear him speak.
Letters were read by the secretary,
G. H. Hawkins, proving that Mr.. Grad
docks managers refused to let him at
tend and speak, though they acknOwl-
edged he had given his personal promise.
w. A. Reeder made one of the finest
political speeches ever made in the park,
full of logic and facts, and G. M. Cole
presented his side of the case In very
favorable manner.
The joint debate by Congressman
Clarke and Lands was the most excit-
ing feature of the programme, and hon
ors and cheers were about evenly di-
vided. Both pleased the crowd, and
their friends Rev. Frank Dixon of
Hartford preached grand sermon Sun
day morning, ana rather FRANCIS keley
delivered fine lecture on Joan of Arc
Sunday afternoon. Both had large au-
dienceS.
Mrs Frank Kincaid of Beloit, Miss
Jane Hudson of Osborne. Miss Maude
Howell of Downs and Miss Perle Jack
son of Cawker added vocal solos to the
other attractions on various days. and
received repeated encores.
c. H. Hawkins as secretary of the as
ISOLATION is busy receiving the congrat-
ulations of friends on the success of the
assembly, and if spur Of the Rock Is
land is built from Lebanon this year, so
that necessary railway concessions can
be secured, the Chautauqua at Lincoln
park next year will be the largest in the
state.

3-year-old Sombrero, broke the mile and a
half record here, going the distance in

advantage he won by a length from Bar
on Pepper, who came with strong rush
from the rear. Rice failed to make his
run soon enough. Douro ran well from a
mile and a quarter and then dropped out
of it.
The Canadians made a killing in the
steeplechase with Sailust, who was back
ed from to l to 8 to 5. He won ~ he
pleased by eight lengths from Inkerman
Headland being a bad third. The two
other starters. Gallahad and Victor did
not finish.
Virgin Soil and Bright Girl ran a dead
heat in the maiden 2-year-old race, the
purse being divided.
Hans Wagner quoted at 20 to 1, captur
ed the closing event. He acted so badly
on his way to the post that Wonderly
asked to be relieved from riding him. but
this was not allowed He got on well,
however. and was never headed. The
stewards at the Saratoga association be-
ieving that stimulants were administer
ed to the horse to accelerate his speed,
ordered that the entry of Ex-senator
