It was decided to arrange for a spring meeting, to be held prohably 1 the first week in June, and a circuit will doubtless he established. As soon as the spring opens it is expectod that there will be from fifty to soventy-five horses at work here, and ampie provisions for stabling are being arranged. The most important move which the Driving Park association has taken, and one which the people at large are interested, is that by which it is sought to checkmato the action of the council by which the apecinl levies have been ordered to be consolidated with the general fand. The special levy i which the associa tion i8 particularly inforested is that for the purpose of building a levee to protect the western portio | of the city from any such overflow as swept oyer the ground last spring. The procevds of this special leveo will reach about £3,000, and by the recent action of the council this amount, mstead of being kept for t-e purpoke for which it was raised, is to be turned into the general fund, and ueed for all sorts of purposes, There has alrendy been appropriated by the eounty 22,000 to help in the building of this levee, and tho railway compnnies interested have promised further aid. Tn case' the city uses its 83,000 for other pur- poses, the wholo work will, for the time being at least, come to an end, or, rather, will have no beginning. The association has therefore de- cided to stop this procedure if possi- ble, and the secrotary has signed a l;utilinn for an injunction, which will e decided in a fow days. Tt is the intention if this special levy is kept for the purpose of building the levee to commence the work in the sprine. By the survey already made it is esti- mw ed that the work will cost about 20,000, but that survey only ealled for a width on top of ten feet. 1t 13 proposed now to make it fifteen feet wide at the top, and, beginning b the bluft, work as far as the funds will allow. The money at the start would be 85,000, of which amount £2,000 would be from the county, and the balance from this speeial lovee raised by the ¢ In building the levee the inereased width this amount wouldnot be suflicient to cover the work, and for the balance to the Union Pacific dump the railways are counted on for help. All of this plan will drop through unless the present applica.ton for an mjunction is granted, and the associn: tion is so interested that it is detor- mined to press the point. o issne necessarily involves the other special lovies as woll, as they, too, have beon consolidated with tho general fund, The logal fight will ~therofore bo watched with intercst by all tax payers. A A GOOD CAUSE, Dr. D. Banks McKenzie, of Salt Lake, in the City. Dr. D. Banks McKenzie, whose famo as an honest and practical tem perance reformer and an eloguent orator extends from Boston to San Francisco, arrived in this city last evening from Omaha, where he passed two or throo days timo, und will remain here probably until Saturday. The doctor has for the past two years been a resident of Salt Lake City, where he went to work in the canse which he has so much at heart, The doctor found it a place which was practically without a safe reeort of any kind for young men, and there are many of them who go there and secure clerkships in stores and rail- road offices, e conceived the iden of erecting a fine building w hich shou!d contain club rooms, parlos, library, coffee rooms, bath rooms and so on, as well as a largo assembly hall, in which meetings could be held to discuss public questions of importance, Up to 10 Salt Lake bad had no such e, the Mormon church owning the only theatre in town and there bheing no good hall, Dr. MeKenzie went to work, and although he received but little discouraged.

That this city needs a new ope It is one of the long felt wants 20 much talked of. Mr. Dohaney, the propr house there is no question. tor of the present one, is alveady consider ing the advisability of building a new one, more in keeping with the needs of the amusement public and flourish- ing condition of the city at laxge. He is now tiguring on a location on the west side of North Mai t, near Srondway, W i 1 bo pro- cured will give room for a large and suituablo building. Whether the talk will yipen into action time only can tell, but any straw pointing to the starting of such an enterprise is cagerly grasped by the vesidents of this city. Another plan tatked of scems to have been set on foot by an_offer by Brown to provide a suitable lo- cation and put 10,000 into the build- ing provided citizens would raise the balance needed to seeare such a build- ing as this city should have. The site talked of in connection with this schome is at the corner of Broadway and Sixth. The interest being awakened on this mattor bespeaks the coming of something better than what the city now has. MISSING A MISS. An Anxious Father Searching by Night with the Police for His Stray Daughter. There arrived in (his city Tucsday night a worthy farmer from Atlantic, Towa, whose sad mission was to find a missing daughter, a miss of the sweet sixteen age, who had mysteri- ously disappeared. The father gave hisname as C C. Neligh, and his story was that the girl had been attending school at Red Oak for some time past. Lately the school has been broken up somewhat by a small-pox scare, and the girl instead of returning home has started for some unknown place. The anxious father made known his story to the police, and the officers stavted out on the search and ted the hotels and all the houses where a young girl miaht seek to swap honor for money.

They escaped, but Rudd thinks one of them was wounded.
