THE FUTURITY.

Sheepshead Bay, n. y, Aug. 30
The Futurity race, for two year Odds,
will be run over q fast track here this
afternoon. The weather this morning is
clear and cool, and promises to hold so.
II is estimated that the greatest crowd
ever assembled on race course will see
the thoroughbreds struggle for the rich
prize. The entry this morning shows a
list of thirty-one horses that may strive
for the prize. Should all start, the race
will be worth $50, $50, the largest share
of which will go to the winner. Track
officials and horsemen generally hope
there will beenough Withdrawals to bring
the list of starters down to eighteen. A
dozen multi millionaires are among the
men,who will strive for the rich prize.
They include August Belmont, William
c.. Whitney, James X. Keene, John
Drake and Julius Fleischmann. jim
Keene and his son, FOxhall, have five
entries. and their horses will probably
be the fayorites for the race. Their
string includes Dalesman, Dazzling,
buster, Flying Prince, and White
Chapel. August Belmont has two en-
tries, Mizzen, and Lord Of the Vale,
and these horses with Whitney and
DURYEA'S Acefull and Irish Lad come
next in the public fancy. William c.
Whitney has Medal and Payne in the
race. They will be in the long shot
division. The hopes of the West are
centred in Savable, owned by John
Drake, a horse highly tried at the
Chicago tracks. John w. Gates re-
Gently said that he believed Sayable
would win. The dark horses in the con-
test will be Invincible and Royal Sum
mons. horses that have never raced, but
have been highly tried Altogether the
race is considered what is called an
''open one" which means that turimen
think a majority of the horses have
chance for the big purse.
The race was won by John A. brakes
Savable, ridden by Lyme, at the odds OF

way of summer amusement, the occasion
being a juvenile tournament rendered to
the young boys by Master Barton Mar

the young knights mounted on their
thoroughbred chargers, with spear and
lance, came upon the field, and the

siasm to the occasion. A large number
of knights were entered for the contest,
the rides to be at fifteen rings, Vir-
ginians as rule are expert horsemer
and the youngsters who were entered for
this contest were no exception to the
rule. Indeed, the splendid riding of the
boys occasioned much comment and elic-

were present. The riding began prompt

HEWITT, of New York, il

EX-MAYoR HEWITT, OF New YORK, III
q recent interview was asked his opinion
of the issues which are continuing the
nresent strike of the Pennsylvania COZ
miners. He gave a very pracucai ana
sensible answer which was to the erect
that the strike is not based on any rea-
sonable claim which labor can make for
shorter hours or better wages, but that
the real object is that President Mitchell
may secure recognition of his national
organization as an authority entitled to
decide upon the rates of wages and the
conditions of labor in the coal fields
wherever situated. Mr.. Hewitt said If
their demand is conceded it will not tie
possible for any man not holding union
card to secure employment in the coal
fields. This will amount to denial OF
every man the right to sell his labor
in a labor market. This would make
Mitchell the dictator of the coal business
and put him in control of votes enoug h
to decide the next Presidential election.
The times are ominous of evil. Two
great wings of the human race-trusts
and organized labor-are striving for the
mastery. One or the other is destined
to prevail, and it remains to be
seen which is to become master OF
the world and place its collar upon
all, small and great alike. 1t is be-
lieved by many that one or the other
of these elements is to fulfill ancient
forecasts when all who buy or sell will be
marked in the right hand and forehead
and completely shut out from intercourse
with their fellow-beings il they refuse to
submit to the initiation. '1n the last
DAYS perilous times will come" Is the
curtain about to rise upon them?

To PREVENT MERGERS. Attorney
General Anderson is strong in the belief
that the new laws of Virginia are strong
enough to circumvent the much-discuss-
ed merger between the Southern, Sea-
board Air Line and Atlantic Coast Line
roads. His announcement that he
would commence action as soon as any
definite movement was made in the di
rection of a merger has caused much in
terest i'm stock brokers offices in
Richmond.
The Atlanta Constitution says: '1f
the rumored merger between the South
ern, Seaboard Air Line and Louisvil 0
and Nashville reaches a stage where a
fulfilment seems probable, Governor
Gambler will take hand in the matter,
and use such measures as may be in the
power of the State to prevent it, so far
as Georgia is concerned"

OPERATORS at Wilkesbarre, Pa,
abundantly disprQve the statement made
Inv President Mitchell in his recent re-
plv 10 Mr.. Abram 5. Hewitt, that "The
members of the miners organization
have never sought to prevent non-mem-
bers from working with them in the
mines. and they had no intention Of
seeking to abridge the right of any mine
worker to become or not to become a
member of the organization in the
future" The operators declare the OPP
position of the union men to the non
union workers was one of the chief
causes of difficulty before the strike and
quote clauses from resolutions passed at
the mine workers conventions to show
that the opposition is authorized. Mr..
Mitchell has become utterly untrust-
worthy and the coal miners, after the
present strike is ended, will relegate
him to the Oblivion from which he
should never have emerged. They haze
already found out that they made mis-
take when they elevated him to the
presidency of their organization.

From Graham County
(Copper Era.D


 The Detroit company of Morenci has made contract with the Super for company to take out a quantity of ore from its mine. It is thought the ore is just what the Detroit com pany needs for lining the converters. If the ore proves to work successfully in the converter the Detroit company has the privilege of buying the mine. It is shipping in coal this week, and preparing to take out the ore-Lib- eral.
 A special correspondent of the Min ing and Engineering Journal, says: The Arizona Copper company's smei- ter at Clifton is reported to have a three-year contract to treat the ores of the Standard Copper mines.
 John Moulder, superintendent of the Home Copper company of Morenci, was in Clifton yesterday. and planted a small ad in the Era, offering another block of stock to the public. The Home company has done a considera- ble amount of work on their gold claims during the past year, and from all accounts. with most satisfactory results. All Of the money derived from the sale of stock is invested in the development of the property, which is under conservative manage ment, and deserves the encourage ment Of home people.
 The Era is informed on the very best of authority that the Coronado Copper company, that recently took over the Mclean group of claims on the Coronado mountain near MetcaIf, are meeting with most sIOstartia, en- couragement in their development work they have uncovered an eight-foot vein of 15 per cent sulphide ore, which IS strike of no small importance, ey@2 in this district of large bodies 0f rich ore.
