there is much space that can be
utilized on the second floor in the
gallery. The committee realizes
that the agricultural features of the
corn palace are paramount and with
the splendid crops that will result
after harvest is over there ought to
he a fine display Of the products of
the soil. This is the first time in
a number Of years that prizes have
been put up at the corn palace for
county exhibits and it will be the
means, no doubt, Of increasing the
number. The work of cleaning off
the old decorations on the exterior
will commence about the middle OF
of August and by the first Of Septem-
Der the work Of decorating will start
under the direction of Col. A. Robe,
OF Lawrence, KAN, who has done
the decorating every year since the
inception Of the palace in 1892.

opinion on the question Of the

paying the annual tax or license on
the franchise agreement. Mr.. Miller
went into the detail on the question
and presented a number Of quotations
OF law or the subject.
The city attorney stated that
there were three methods under
which the city could begin action.
First, by permitting the telephone
company to use the. streets free OF
charge and do away with ordinance
l35, as the company suggests.
Second, to sue the company for the
monev that is now due under ordi-
nance l35. Third, the council can
revoke the privileges granted in the
ordinance on the ground that the
company has not lived up to the
conditions OF the ordinance in not
paying the license or tax.
The report was accepted and
placed on lle and action was deferred
until the next meeting of the council.
The council discussed the PROPOSE
tion Of draining the ponds and low
places in the northwest part of the
city and running the water directly
south into the Dry Run. The auditor
was authorized to advertise for bids
to do this work. The auditor was
also authorized to advertise for bids
to lay water main from the corner
OF Capitol street and Fifth Avenue
east to Gamble street.
Alderman Michels made a report
on condemnation of sidewalks and
presented a large list in the Second
ward, which were ordered con-
demned and the owners required to
rebuild of cement.
The watering trough at Sixth and
Main street was ordered rebuilt and
the rest of the troughs in the city
were ordered to be put in good con-
dition and kept so in the future.
The council Adjourned.

FRIDAYS Matinee RACES
A Good Crowd Watched the Events
on the Racing Gard for Fri
day at Driving Park.

Friday was ladies' matinee at the
driving park races, and there was a
very large crowd present that dis
played much enthusiasm over the
events of the afternoon. The weather
was fine and the races sufficiently
close as to make the sport good. 1t
is the intention to have another matt
nee next Friday afternoon and some
new novelties will likely be intro
duced at that time.
h gentlemens' driving race occa-
stoned more sport than any other
event, for the drivers were all popu-
lar horsemen of the city and they

when they appeared on the track
with their speeders.

phan Girl" and Albert Jebsen with
Ross" Orphan Girl took the first
and second heat and the race, with
Roy second, Scotty third, Goldmine
fourth, and Ross fifth. In the second
heat was where the sport was the
greatest, for nearly every horse was
in the air at one time and they were
changing positions on the track pref
ty frequently. Orphan Girl landed
on her feet first and went under the
wire the winner of the heat. The
heats were half mile, and they were
made in 1880, 1929, 2:27.
Will Seizer's Bessie took the rune
ming race with ease, with Goldie sec
and and Alice third.
An exhibition race was given Of
three heats in which Sam Scratch,
Daisy NJ, and Willie Boy participated.
They were driven out to the limit,
with the exception of Sam Scratch,
who had quite a good deal of speed
left him n could have turned the
track several seconds quicker. Sam
Scratch won the race in 2:27, 2:26,
2:24, and there was a pretty fight
between Daisy M. and Willie Boy for
second place, the former taking that
position.
The two ladies events did not have
enough entries to fill, although two
ladies appeared in carriages that
were daintily trimmed for the event.
One young lady appeared to particle
pate il the saddle horse event, but
two others did not show up.

From time TO time most intercstiDs
historical relics come before the pub
lie through the medium OF the anc-
tioneer. The latest example OF this
is Queen Mary's house in Jedburgh
and some old tapestry which Il haa

of interest. It has the ruins Of an
interesting old abbey and Same Of the
Jethart pear trees, which are believed
to have stood from period before

James Tate, II had a strong castle
at the highest part Of the town, and
some OF the mansions were in the

character being requisite as . protee
