Phantom Was Right.

A remarkable substitution Of certain
relics of considerable intrinsic. as well
as historic. value in the Hermitage
museum In St Petersburg has been re-
Yealed by means OF a. dream. A sub
scriber to the RuskOe Znamya wrote
letter 10 that paper, saying that for
three nights in succession he was yls-

Of their disappearance. The treasures
consisted Of golden medals struck on b.

as number OF antique coins found dur

have been replaced by copper repleas.
and il declared further that q number OF
diamonds belonging 20 the crown. stored
in the Hermitage museum. and valued at
100000 had been replaced by glass
limitations. The publication Of this
dream was followed by seml-ofiicial de-
mails. but soon IL was admitted that the
medals and coins had been substituted
because Of the danger Of their being car
ried away during some extreme revOlu-
tionary disorder. The original IL was

iile Fourth of July was great day in
lexington this year. The city was
crowded with people from the surround
ing valley and the mines, and the 4th
ana 9th were two days of prolonged
sport and merriment. The weather was
all that could be asked for. being sun
shiny and bright with just enough breeze
TO make the days pleasant. Throughout
the entire celebration there was no seri-
Gus accident, no fire and no serious dis
turbance. There were fewer intoxicated
men than one would have expected on
an occasion OF the kind, and peace and
harmony reigned supreme. Everybody
seemed bent on having a good time. and
they had it.
On the morning of the Fourth the
crowd that had congregated in the town
proceeded to the Hanson grove where
Rev. T. H. Nicholas invoked divine
blessing, j. w. Handy read the Declare
ton of Independence, N w. Willis de-
livered an Grafton and the Yerington
band played number of patriotic airs.
The crowd then returned to the main
part of town and the games were begun.
The first thing on the programme was
the 100yard foot race, in which FIVE en-
tered and which Chas. Mcleod pulled
down the first prize of SIS and w. Per
rim the second prize of S.. In the IS
yard dash Mel. eod also took first money,
$40, and Brisson second money, S2.50
Mcleod also won the 50-yard race and
the $3.50 hung up as first money, while
81. so.
In the egg race, which consisted of
carrying an egg in spoon for dis
lance of rs yards, Mrs. Morris carried
off the first prize of IS and Miss Annie
Paquint the second prize of $3.50.
The drilling contest was the next
thing on the program and it, of course,
attracted the attention of all the miners.
Only two teams entered for the double
handed contest and A. Hunt and P. E..
Kirk dragged down the first prize of
500 by putting Il rs inch hole in the
stone. John Harris and John Junior
took the second prize of $50 by putting
down an S-inch hole. They had the
misfortune of breaking couple of drills,
which accounted for the poor showing
they made.
In the single handed contest there
were three entries and Tony Bogalia
took the first money by sticking the
drill into the rock to depth of IA IL
inches in fifteen minutes. The prize
was $50. 7. H. Wells secured the sec
ond prize of SIS by sinking 6 "a inch
hole, while NJ A. Nelson only succeed
ed in getting a hole down "a inches in
the fifteen minutes.
In the 50-yard race for fat men ]. G.
Kaufman took the first prize of SIS; the
name OF the winner OF the second pllZe
of $3.50 was not learned, while Harry
Samuel won the distinction of also hav-
ing ran.
This ended the games for the Fourth
and everybody went home to prepare for
the big ball in the evening. And the
ball was big one. The hall was crowd
ed as it never had been before, the rnu-
sic was excellent and the merry-nakers
kept things moving until nearly daylight
the next morning.
During the forenoon OF the 9Th the
horse racing took place on lower Main
street and Johnny Gallagher horse
