PREPARING FOURTH OF JULY PROGRAM
Interesting Belmont Driving Park Races In the
Afternoon and Two Baseball Games to Be
Played Between Smyrna and Dover.

Monday will be Fourth of July and
our local spOrtsmen are interested in
two features, the races which will
take place at Belmont Driving Park
in the afternoon and the two baseball
games which will be played with Do
yer on Dover grounds. The Dover
management have made an offer to
Manager Cunning to bring his team
to the capital, and as it marks the
opening season there a large and en-
thuslastic crowd is anticipated. Many
Smyrnians are disappointed that one
game at least could not be played in
Smyrna, but from a financial stand
point, Manager Cunning thought it
best to accept the Dover proposition.
A number have expressed their inten-
ton of going down for the afternoon
game. Smyrna will put up the best
team it can under the circumstances
and expects to give Dover lively
tussle. On the other hand, Dover has
rattling good team, composed large
ly of college boys who are in practice,
and are home on their summer vaca-
tion.
The principal event in Smyrna will
be the races at Belmont Hall Driving
Park in the afternoon. Managers
John F. Goldsborough and E. H.
johnson have arranged ono of the hest
programs ever gotten together in
Smyrna and some of the fastest horses
of the Peninsula will take part in the
contest. Racing will begin at one
| O'Clock sharp and brass band will en-
llven the occasion with music. Ad.
mission 25 cents; ladies admitted to
the grand stand free. The racing
will be as follows, two best in three in

The busy season for the farmer -

green and some are affected with the

for mixed schools in that state, and
that, while president, he entertained a
negro at the White House, and also
appointed negro as the representa-

denied by the former president in a
letter to Representative Bartlett of
Georgia, which letter was read on the
floor of the House. Mr.. Cleveland, in
his denial, was bitter and sarcastic.
and denounced the author of the
charge.
Representative Hardwick sent the
letter of Mr.. Watson to the clerk
