SUNOLETTE WON EASILY

A horse race that will probably set

on Waters road between "Sunolette"
AMI The King" and in which 1.-THE
King" was thoroughly beaten
"Sunolette," who is owned by Mr..
Chas. Drummer, was driven by Curley
Hudson, and THE King was handled
by Mr.. John Hunt, his owner. The dis
lance was to have been a mile, but at
the half The King is said to have been
SO far behind that Mr.. Hunt held him
up and gave up the race.
The event was more to settle the
question of the qualities of the two
horses than for money consideration
though a small wager was placed on
the result. Quite q crowd of local horse
men witnessed the race which was ex-
citing, so far as it went.

SPORTING NOTES.

President Comiskey of the Chicago
White Socks says that he can get along
very we'll without George Davis and
don't propose worrying any more about
him. This suits Davis to a "T," but
the question is whether or not he will
oppose Davis playing with the New
York Nationals. Davis is getting in
good condition with the Giants, and
says he will play ball this season, with
that team or not at all.
The recent floods in Tennessee have
interfered with the Memphis races. and
the meet has been indefinitely post
poned. Several carloads of horses are
now side-tracked and cannot get into
the city. owing to the railroads being
damaged.
Big Ed Delehanty the champion
batsman of the American League last
year and who has signed contracts and
accepted advance money from both the
Washington and New York teams, but
who was assigned to the former team,
now joins with George Davis and re-
fuses to abide by the decision of the
Peace Commission. Delehanty says
that unless he can play with New York
he will lay off this season and play
with the Giants next year, as his two
year contract with Washington ex-
pires with the close of the present sea-
son.
President Herman of the Cincinnati
National League team says that the
Reds will not play ball with the New
Yorks If George Davis and Delehanty
appear on the field with that team. eff
Davis and Delehanty do not live up to
the provisions of the peace compact
we will get together and blacklist
them," says Herman.

The messenger came with the

ry, and were unknown for two
years after the war. Their first
appearance was under Legree's
regime. Now, scarcely a day
! passed in the south without the
record of such an atrocity, swift
ly followed by a lynchfng, and
lynching thuse had become a
habit for all grave crimes.
Since McLeod's triumph in
the state such crimes had in
creased with alarming rapidity.
The entertainments of negroes
upon public Offices had been slow
but resistless. Now there were
nine hundred and fifty negro
magistrates in the state elected
for no reason except the color of
their skin: Feeling themselves
intrenched behind state and
federal power, the inso1ence of a
class of young negro men was
becoming more and more into1er-
able. What would happen to
these fools when once they rous-
ed that acknowledged, thous-
and-eyed beast with it's ten
thousand teeth and nails? He
had looked into its face, and he
shuddered to recall the hour.
He knew that this power of
racial fury of the Anglo-Saxon
when aroused was resistless,
and that it would sweep its VIC
tins before it's wrath like chaff
before a whirlwind.
And then he thought of the
day fast coming when culture
and wealth would give the Afri-
can the courage of conscious
strength and he would answer
that soul piercing shrek of his
kindred for help, and that other
acknowledged beast, crouch
ing in the shadows, would meet
acknowledged beast around
