T wouid say that he has some very curious ideas in making matehes, First I made me sicn in the articles for our ace, that we must beat one hour and s minutes to claim the stake. Now I t see any use for doinz anything like ause, if one man is running acainst mateh race, for a stake, as fone as lie beats lim, 1 don’t see why he should have 10 beat a cortain time before e can get stake. If ho is running against time it 1s a differentthing entirely. 1 beat Mr. Eck in our last race after trying very hard for twenty miles, and then 1 did not cet the stake, which of course would make any man a little mad, Now he has another new rule t in his challenze he say 1t on opposite sides of the track. he will kindly explain to me liow the judies and referee can «ive their decision on ‘a race of that kind, providing it wasa_close finish, which it would wost likely be, 1 will accept his chiallonze and race him for as much as ho likes to name. 1 will make the following challenge to liim, as he states in his article that it s hard to passa fastman on this small track, 1 will race Mr. Eck a twenty-mile” race on the half mile track at the fair grounds next June for 8500 a side and will allow Lim 200 yards the start. 1 will put up a forfeit of $100 any time he wishes to name to bind the matei, and the man failing to put up the remaining $100 two weeks beforo the race comes ofl must forfeit the £100 that is down, Waiting Mr. Eck’s reply, T am yours truly, JOHN 8. PRINCE, Champion of America. Ed Bullock’s best time on the bicycle was accomplished Wednesday afternoon, when he sneceeded in making a mile in two minutes and fifty-two scconds. This is one of the fastest miles ever mrde on the exposition track, and is fully up to ck's best record when he was training her Prince tells a funny incident of Bul- lock’s early training career, One day when Bullock was taking a practice spin about the track, his machine beeame un- ruly and he flew into one of the posts on the turn, his head butti it violently, He picked himself up and’ went into tio dressing room for repairs. In the mean- time Prince took a he batchet and pounded large dent in the post which Bullock’s head had struck. He then called to Bullock to come over. “You made that dent when you struck the post with your head,” Prince said to nim solemnly. Bullock looked at the post in utter amazement for a moment or two. Then he carefully felt of h alp and mut- tered: “GreatJupiter,but my head must havoe struck that vost a terrible blow to ke a dent like that.”” HANLEY AND LA BL.

An event of this kind which 15 exciting cosiderable interest will take place at the exposition annex to-morrow night in the match between Charles Moth, the champion Grieco-Roman wrestler of the world, and an unknown who is being put up by the Turnverein socicty. All efforts to unearth the unknown have proven fu- tile thus far. The turners say that they will have their man in sl when the duy arrives and will have a surprise in store for Moth, ‘The terms of the mateh are that Moth shall throw the unknown three Grarco-Rov catch-can falls in an hour for a stake of $100 and the entive gate receipts, The match promises to be one of exciting in- terest.

After run- ning up a bill amounting to $18 at the house, he claimed to have no cash, but on presentation of his bill he spoke of a draft in his possession amounting to $:950, which ho flashed but never al- lowed any one toserutinize very closely. he induced a guest of the house to V. $30, saying that he would have sashed immediately upon the opening of the banks on the next morning. The draft was given as sceurity, and_on the nest morning the d Livingstone obtain permission of the draft with the avowed intention of cashing the same. His movements were rather slow in this direction and the gentlemen by whom the money had been advanced requested a sight of the paper, having only casually glaced at it before. Close examination revealed the fact that it was simply a gight draft upon a country merchant named Simms and not negotiable. 1he beat refused to put the draft in the bank for collection and retained possession of it. Before any steps could be taken in the mattor Livingstone had worked some one for a 5 1 and fled the town leaving his total bill unpaid and the gencrous guest ont of pocket just £30. He 1s supposed to have gone to Missouri. A warm welcome is assured him in Omaha if he should return. Personal Paragraphs. Rev.

Billing’s paper, the as- socintion resolved itself into a committee of the whole for general discussion. Very favorable comment was made on Doctor Billing’s views by the majority of thoso present. They were, however, consider- ed somewhat impracticable in regard to the prevention and cure of hog cholera suggested. This dise: bemg most common and particularly fatal to Nebras- ka stock, received earnest discussion. Mr. Wolf and others were decidedly of the opinion that there was some underlying cause for this cholera not yet understood, and that the paper read did not throw suf- ficient light on the subject. Mr. Wolfe argued that it could not, or rather had not been, explained why two swine equally exposed, one should die and the other should not be sick, or why two herds not exposed at all, the one should have cholera and the other not. Dr. Billing claims that cholera will not break outin a herd without that herd having been exposed in some way. The discussion finally turned to the bill now before the legislature in regard to establishing o school of veterinary surgery. This brought out some very plam tal They all ~ agreed that & government school should be established and carried on by and under special legislation of the general government. That a school of the proportion contemplated by the bill is entirely inadequate to give competent training. Colonel Savage said he would onp the bill until the “‘sharks’’ and *‘shy: of Lincoln were prevented from tion with the state farm. A resolution favoring the said bill was voted down nearly u sly.

She belongsto a family which has many eminent member: Making allowance for the narrowing influences upon the mind of the constant practice of adaily routine, we may consider the queen of England, her mother, as one of the most reu able sovercigns whoever wore a crown, and the princess is, in cer- tuin respects, her superior; at all events, she is superior to the other prin members of her family. She possesses an attainment that arduous and absorb- ing labor, restrained in & narrow sphere, hindered Queen Vietoria from reaching —a §erioy course of reading and general culture, which has made her as liberal in certain points of view as her mother is resolutely conservative. She is not popular in Germany, and for rea- sons trivial enough. As she openly pat ronize By s who were celebrated for their advanced ideas, public opinion has set her down as absolutely a fre thinker, and that injures her in eert cireles e voluntarily ridicnles Ger- manic prejudices, and that does her harm in other cireles, " She is highly intelli gent—a quahty which should be lacking in royalty, in the opinion of the fools at couri—und she is passably well educated, which 15 not exactly a qualification for making her ble to the ignor ant.
