The opening game of the base ball sesson In Omaha took place at the Unlon Pacific grounds Satarday after noon. There was a large attendance, notwithatandlng the chilling wind. The victims chosen for the slaughter wers the crack clab of Towa's capltal, and the manner of thelr slugglog was both appsllivg and monotonous.

The storm of the night before put the inver half of the track In very bad condition, and the weather con- tlousd unfavorable all day, but not- withstanding all this there was a good attendance, 400 or 500 at lesst. The first race was bstween Nellle Barke and Jennle West, halt mlle heats, beat two In three. This race was won by Mrs, Burke In two stralght heats; time 514, 61§, The heats were vory olose aud exciting, Mrs, Burke winning by merely a neck. Both riders won admiration by the ease, graco and nerve they displayed and Mra, Barke strengthened the opinion of her admirers in this part of the country that she has no superlor in the art ¢f horsemanehip. The chariot races were not less ir- toresting, The first was a half mile dash with two horses to a caariot; Mr, Lyons driving one team and Mre, Burke the other. Tne teams got a good start, and kept close together all the way round, and passed under the wire not more than s Jergth apart, Mtrr, Barke belrg In the lid; time 58 The next chariot race run with five horses abreast, and the same drivers as In the preceding contest, and was close. Mrs. Barke won agsin in 63, The half-mile dash between Mirs Curtls and Mrs. Borke was won by the former in 54. Mrs. Burke got & poor start, and at one time was five lengtha behind, but she managed to close the gap to conslderably less than three lengths on the home stretch, Mies Curtis rode a splendid horse, “Paras Power," which belonga to her- self, A SECOND DAY, Owing to the track belng heavy and the time limited, ths programme was not fully carried out, but will be completed this afternoon. The horaes, charlota and a band of musle will herald the event with a morning streot parade. The programme will counlst of arace, mila heats, batween Mra. Barke and Miss Curtis and a five mile dash between the eame parties, If the track 18 not too soft they will also have a mile dash over hurdles and if 1t {8 not in condition for hurdle races they will give the “Indian warriors’ race for a bridle,” which s quite an Interesting and ex- citing feature, A CHALLENGE. Miss Curtis stated to a Bek reporter yesterday that in the balf mile dash in which she beat Mre. Barke the latter growled at the start and claimed that 1f she could have got away from the wire with her she would have won, Miss Curtls disagrees with her in this and thinks she can win again if Mrs. Burke will rlde the race over. She therefore challenges her to ride a half mile dash to-day on the same horse she rode Saturday, the purse to be from $100 to $500. Miss Curtls she does not want gate money, and that If the challenge is accepted the gate must be open free to all. Miss Cartls will leave for Denver to-day or to-morrow, according as this challenge 1s or is not accepted.

The U, P. band was iu attendance and under the able lendership of Prof. A. R Toozer ac. qulvted themselves in magnificent style.

Among the best were The Rose and The Caapel, and the Singer's March. d The U.

Yes: terday morning, however, the storm dlscouraged them and they sent a tele- gram to Omaha saying that owlng to the rain they would not come up to- day, but would probably vistt them on Bunday next, or at least would put in an appearance on some other occasion to compensate for their non-appear- ance yeaterday. The M:einerchor are to be highly congratulated on the gigantic success of this year's May festival, and it s to be hoped that the soclety may long flourlsh to have such fostivais until time is no more and eternity occuples the space now allotted to time.

A Man Downed With a Beer Glass, The Woman Wiho Did It Be- ing His ‘“Solid Girl.” About 11 o’clock last night a sport- ing man named Fred Schell was slugged with a beer glass by a -voman known as Hattle Adams, with whom Schell 1s sald to have been on Intimate terms for some time, It appears that they ha? had a sort of a lovers quarrel and had dlssolved partnership bat met last night in one of the card rooms attached to Henry Hornberger's saloon, Here the trouble was probably renewed and culminated as above. Schell was knocked secseless and recelved two terrible cuts, one on the forehead and one on the left temple, both of which were sewed up by D:s. Ralph and Swetnma, who were called in, Schell bled fearfully and laid in the room twe hours before he could be taken home, He rooms on Dodge street near Thirteenth. He had a close call for his life and Adams came within an ace of belng a murderess, AN EMERGENCY CASE The North @maha Oreek Chanael to Re Fulea Up Without Deiay A special meeting of the council wes held Saturday evening for the purpose of taking Into conslderation the drainage and sewerage system and works of the clty, and especlally to take such actlon as the councll may deem proper a3 to the sewer protection along North Omaba creek, so called, in view of the dlsasters caused in that reglon by the late ralns, Oa motion, the councll went Into committee of the whole with Councll- man Woodworth in the chair There was a general dlecussion of the subject concerning which so much has been published of iate, and City Eogineer Rcsswater presented a pro- file and estimate of filling in Nicholas street from Twenty-first to F.f-eenth street, which would rcquire 10,000 yards, there belog an swple amount of earth on the etreet for the purpose. Mr. Crelghton, chalrman of the board of pablic works, belng present, was called upon to state whether, if it should be determined to fill the streete as proposed, he wounld feel that he could do &0 without going through the routine of advertising for bids, ete. Mr. Crelghton replied that he was the servant of the people, and his duty was to obey the orders of the counc!l, unless it should be in some especlal matters reqalring a tax levy or some- thing of that sort, Mr. Haacall then cffored the follow- Ing resolution.

Adjourned, OMAHA'S BOULEVARD. Reasons Why it Should Kot be Paved with Belgian Block. Examp'es Cited from Experi- ence Hlsewhere. To the Editor of Toe Bee: Some weeks ago it way understood that the majority of the property owners on S!x‘centh stroet had slgned a petition to the city conncll to have thelr etreet paved with asphaltum the samoas Douglas street, There ara some rumors abroad now that some of these people have been {oclined to withdraw thelr slgnatares, and that there is soma danger of hav- ing thls street paved with Bolglan block. 1f this Is so it will bs very un- fortunate, Sixteenth atreot Is likely to become one of the most Important thorough- fares in the city, and one of the prin- clpal drives iato the country, All know who have had any experience in paved cities, that stone block pave- ment Is the very worst over which a light rlg can be driven, and it is not safe to drive over it in such a convey- ance fsster than a walk, Those who live in New York and keep horses, keep them two miles up town, and take the street cars up because they dare not run thelr own horses. 1t there was any advantage in the stone block there would be some excuse for us bringlng It here three hundred miles and puting it down, but there is none. The advocates say 1t can ba lifted and replaced to effact repsirs in water or gas pipes with mach less damage than the asphaltum and can be replaced exactly as it was This {8 exactly the opposite of the trath, In a stone country such as Scotland, where the earth is 8o full of stone that the farmer after plowing firat to gather a plentiful crop of stones before dolng anything else, thera is natorally & good fouadation for either macadam or stone block but even there the stone Dblock always sinks after belng rolatd when a trench has been dug, and it is the custom to re- lay it on & ridge of five or six inches in helght and let it graduaily get back to the level. Bat they have great trouble as it often sinks in holiows and has to be releid again. Of course, here the difficulty is greatly augmented, as there is practically no bottom to cur soil if the water is allowed to reach it, and the stone blocks there is no doubt whatever would actually tumble lnto holes. Oa Tenth street before the thing had been down a week they had some experlence of this, and will soon have more. But the opponents of asphatum say If you break up the asphaltum to dig a trench ycu cannot make & good join. The answer to that lr, thatin the block frem Fifteenth to Sixteenth on Doug- las there is six or seven joins, and they are so perfect that no one has noticed them, The asphaltum was only lald In the day time, and was cold and hard as if 1t had been lald for years, each morn- ing when they commercel agaln, But the join is perfect and can only be seen on very close examination, I may also say that thls coucrete and asphaltum was lald over at least five or six new-made treaches, where the property owners had jast laid gas and water pipes, not one of which trenches have ever given way in the alightest, That there should be any opposition to this pavement at all is remsarkable and only to be ascribed to the general fgnorance on the subject. The fact is that paving 1s comparatively a new science, all we know of it having been learned In the laat ten or twelve years. Formerly they thought littla or nothing of foundation; now it is knowa t> be of the first Importance aud in an alluvial country like this there 1s only one foundation that can be used, because it keeps the water away, and that {8 concrete, Another objection made to the asphaltum is that it will not wear as well as granite. I wears better and Is lald at less ex- pense. Isawa plece of this laid on Fifth avenue ten or twelve years ago, and there {s not yet the mark of a wheel on it. Any one who knows anything of the enormo s traffie there must admlt that if 1t lasts there ten years, it ought to last 100 years here. 1 regret extremely tskiog upsomuch of your valuable space on tnls subject, but it is of vast importance to this community, Oaly give us this beau- tiful asphaltum pavement, and with our already natural advantages, we will have the cleanest and most beauil- ful city in Amerlea.
