CLEVELAND RACES
 VERY TAME AFFAIRS
DRIVERS BOWERMAN AND M'DON- ALD COME TO BLOWS, AND DRIVER WHITE THROWN TO THE GROUND, UNCONSCIOUS.

Cleveland. O.. August 1.-Another large crowd was out to witness the Grand Circuit races today, the weather man again smiling on the management. The result of the first five events was somewhat similar to those of Tues day, each race being won in straight heats with the driver generally look ing back to see how close his rivals were to him. In the twelve heats there was not sensational finish.
 The most excitement was produced in the last race of the day. a sweep stakes for S-year-olds. Bell Bird won the event in straight heats, but Mike Bowerman, the driver of General Watt protested the first heat, alleging that he was fouled by Mcdonald, the driver of Bell Bird The judges did not allow the protest whereupon Bowerman at tempted to strike Mcdonald. Other drivers, however, separated them be- fore any blows were struck.
 Ben White of Buffalo, driving The Count, was thrown in the last heat of this race and carried off the track un- conscious
 Judge Wilson carried off the open ing event in straight heats. Ed Geers' entry, Byron Kay was the contender in every heat but was not fast enough tc beat out the Missouri horse.
 The second race, the 2:17 trot, was easy for Beatrice Bellini, she winning all three heats, with planty in re- serve Watson was too fast for his rivals in the 2;11 trot, taking both h eats without difficulty.
 Ed Geers' only victory of the day came in the 209 pace when he won rather easily with John A., who was beaten at Detroit by Kruger.
 The meeting comes to an end Fri day, the feature being the free for all pace. During the morning The Friend, 2:05A, a Grand Circuit pacer, made mile in 2:01A in practice. Sum mary:

WHAT OTHERS SAY.

There may be worse umpires in the league that Flynn. but we don't believe it.. He gave Little Rock all the worst of it yesterday. robbing Hess of a hit by call ing him out at first when he clearly had the throw beaten by his slide into the bag He also couldn't see Page tag Carey out on second in the seventh although every one else did. Rim on balls and strikes was an immense Improvement on Flynn's work of yesterday. A crowd gath cred and booted and ieered Flynn after the game but there was no violence.-Ar- kansas Gazette.

some months.
The proposed course Of the river will
be north and west OF the present one,
ana will start about quarter OF mile
from the mine. II will cross Black
creek and strike Pine creek about the
same distance west Of the mine. IL
will then pursue u southeasterly
course, striking the present river bed
AT point just north or the present
highway bridge.
During the change OF the course OF
the river the mine will be made ready
for It's work upon an entirely new
system aud about one hundred men
