Mr.. Brewer was thrown out on his
face and badly bruised. The horse
bolted but was recaptured without

Rev. NJ H. Marvin, pastor of the
First NJ. E. church will preach his
last sermon tomorrow evening before
going to Spokane to attend the Co.

likely that Rev. Marvin will decline
20 accept a pastorate the coming

TO render him almost unfit for minis

ed as one of the most able thinkers
and preachers in the west and his re-
tirement from the pulpit even for a
limited time would be regretted by a
large congregation.

New York, Aug. 29.-The tried and
proved the very cream Of the two
year-olds OF 1893. are all in the first
great race CT the fall campaign on
the New York tracks, the richest
event Of the American curf. and the
most talked Of race Of the year. the
Euturity Stakes, to be run for this
afternoon at the Sheepshead Bay
track, as the feature Of the opening
Of the autumn season Of the Coney
Island Jockey club.
All of the horses engaged in the
race. and there are more than a
dozen Of them. and many scores be
sides, were out for exercise in the
early morning hours and were watch
ed by d big throng trying 20 get a
line on the possible winner of the
$1,000 race By II o'clock all the
candidates had had their gallOps
and were in their comfortable box
stalls to await the call. Among the
well known horses engaged for the
race are Raglan. Hamburg Belle
Leonidas. BroomsJick and Magis-
trate.
Among the large betting men il
was agreed tina. the Keenes have
the best chance on paper this year
with ". c. Whitney, their old-time
rival for the rich stakes, having a
poor showing. This year keene is
even better fixed than he was last
year and it is the prevailing opinion
among close followers of the turf
that the Keene quartet Dovecote.
Israelite, K0hinoor and Delhi, are
the best collection. and will be the
established favorites in the betting
at post time Whitney's chance de-
pends upon Mercury, while John +.
Madden. who never fails to hold a
strong hand in the Futurity, has his
hopes centered in Adbell.. Another
strong entry that must be taken in
the reckoning is Captain Browns
Broomstick and Audience. Taken
altogether it seeems that the race
is narrowed down to keene, Madden
and Captain Brown, with the Keene
entries as strong favorites.
The track is muddy today and it is
raining with a strong wind.

From Coast to Coast.

Omaha, Sept. 2.-Backed by the Un ion Pacific, the Southern Pacific, New York Central & Lake Shore, plan is now on foot to run l train from coast tC coast, and for the purpose company is being organized with a' capital of &l, l,000,000 to furnish the equipment and handle the train. It is understood that all of the stock in the new company will be held by the roads mentioned, over whose tracks the train will run.
 The train will not only be a through train from New York city to San Fran cisco. but will, it is calculated, make the journey from ocean to ocean in from ten to twelve hours less than it can be done with the bos. connections. For several years the Hartman interests have been working toward this end and have spent millions of dollars in straightening their tracks and reduc- ing the grades so that better time and service might be given.

did not know what recommendations they would make.
 They consider the one great question of oyershadowing importance to be that of transportation. Alaska, they think, has a great future, and will produce more gold than ever the klondike did, but transportation facilities are greatly needed. The senators throw the follow ! ing handsome bouquet at the ladies of Nome; "The senators had made point to request that no entertainments be prepared in their honor. but at Nome the women had already made prcpara- tions, and the senators were too gallant op dl,arpOint them. Nowhere did they see q auluet with more perfect ap- poiu,mcnts: nowhere did they meet handsome women more correctly gowned than they did in the minin. camp way up there near the Arctic cfrcle.'
 This shows that the senators were both observant and apprceiativc, and that as usual the lad!e7 of Nome made an imprc-rion.
