The Races. The day opcned threateningly and it seemed that the driving park was to have its usual fate of a rainy drowning out of all hope of a successful meeting, The clouds gave way, however, and the after- noon opened finely. The pool sellers were a little less enthusiastic than the day before, The announcement of the judges declaring the pools and bets off the day before caused disappointment to many and a gi deal of growling. To the public generally the assurance thus given that there must be square work and driving to win caused much satis- faction, however, ‘The crowd was not large.

There was much local interest felt in L. Holst's gray gelding, Gray Jim. He had not been in training but sixty days, and this was s first race. He had shown fine speed 1n training, but he was in too fast company, and got shut out.

The lessthe matter was stirred up the better for them. Jack Peregoy remembered those of the E:eu guang yesterday who were compelled work at the races, while others were wntchlng the speeders. 'The box of Pere- OI'Y & Moore’s best cigurs were grate- ully received and heartily enjoyed by the reporters. The chariot race, a mile dash, caused the usual enthusiasm yesterday. These horses are runncrs, for a fact, and four abreast, form an exciting spectacle. There was but one fight yesterday, and it was like the fool's gun, ‘‘bangit went and never wentoff.” The two pugilists faced each other threateningly and waited for some one to come upand part them.

It seems strange that after so much free advertising as the street fakirs have been given, they should continue to catch 80 many suckers. Several shell shovers are openly carrying on their swindling game on the streets. It is the old, old trap, by which the egotistical victim, who thinks he ean beat another fellow’s game, is quickly caught. The only stock in trade required consists of three nut shells, and a little ball, and the sucker is led to believe that he sees just where the clumsy operator has placed the ball. So certain is he that he is sharper than the sharper that he bets his money freely. An occasional win- ning mal the victim more eager. 'The worst feature is that some of these street swindles have obtained a license from the city, and while techai they are not authorized to swindle the public, yet practically they are. The police under- stand that they are not expected to inter- fere with these fellows. There are a number of such games being played pub- licly which in all well ordered cities are ruled out. Council Blufts eannot afford dollars paltry license to protect of s t fakirs. Atthe same an can have hang to his money, and not think himself too smart. It is hard for the city to furnish both police and brains to suckers who are bound to be caugh sense enough ‘‘Accidental" is the Verdict. The coroner’s jury met yesterday morning to inquire nto the death of Barney Donahue, the Kan City, St. Joe & Council Bluffs engincer who was killed in the Kunsas City yards on Mon- day night. The jury was composed of C. Wesley, James P. Oleson and J. H, Ward. John Johnson testified as to noticing 2 and afterwards aw deceased lying on the track; notified the hreman who was running the engine, he was lying across the rail, Donahue was last seen” alive walking on the track with his face toward the en- gine. Charles Runyon, fireman, swore as to the details of the movement of the switeh engine when John Johnson signaled him to stov and told him the enginecr was killed. The decensed had been away from the engine about fifteen minutes. John Sweeney testiticd that he met Donahue and went to Tiernan; came back together and went to look atthe Tiernan was supposed to have jously hurt; th left him, Don- ing toward his engine. y then rendered as their verdict th by being Bur- Notes KFr Justice Schurz Fourth of July ing.

Schools, colleges and Christian associ tions are building costly gymnasia, while athletic organizations, ball clubs, boat clubs, tennis clubs, ete., are forming in many of our towns and cities, Iifteen thousand dollars is expended annually to bring the Yale and Harvard boat ci s together at New London, and it is estimated that $50,000 does not meet the yearly expenses of the athletic organ- ization» of these two universities Add to this sum the cost of athletic sports to the smalier colleges and city clubs, and the total would foot up in the millions. The object of this outlay is to vanquish some rival club, to win a _championship, to beat the record, or to furnish recrea- tion and amusement to those who ure willing to pay for it. With the repre- sentatives of our institutions of learning, and with a portion of the inteltigent pub- lie, the object of the encouragement given to athleties is to counterict the enervating tendencies of the times, and to improve the health, strength, and vigor of our youth, ‘his being the fact, the questions at once arise, how large a proportion of young men in the land systematically practice athletics? Probably less than 1 per cent. How large a proportion of those who are members of athletic organizations take an active partin the sports fostered and patronized by their respective clubs? Probably less than 10 per cent. In the opinion of the writer the cause for s0 little active interest athletics is an increasing tendency with us, asa people, to pursue sport as an end in itself rather thun as means to an end, In making excellence in the achiev the primnrf' object of athletic ses, we Tob them of half their value. i Sl GEORGE J, GOULD. One of The Great Finauciers of the Fature. One of the young men in town about whom there is probably as much talk as about any other is George J. Gould, the son of Jay Gould, says the Graphic, ' Yet George is iegs known to the general pub- lic than many a young man with fewer claims to notice.” He was in the Hoffman house last night, caught down town in the storm, and was chatfed not a littld by his friends on the seclusian into which he had dropped since his marriage about a year ago with the pretty little lady he ied away from her chosen place be- tore the footlights. For a young man who will, in the natural course of things, be one day a great financial power in the business of this country, George J. Giould isa singularly modest and retiring char- acter.
