Lake Manawa has gone down about two feet during the past week., Forsome reason or other, probabiy because the motor line is not completed, the bathers have not been as numerous as the pro- prietors at Manhattan Beach had wished for but they are nightly increasing in numbers and a couple of nights with’ an increased temperature will sece crowds rushing for the beach. As it is now, nearly everybody stops at Hotel Manawa and only a small portion go acrossto the beach to remain any length of time, This is the harvest for the steamers, row boats will have their's later on. Three steamers now ply between the hotel landing and the beach, the Little Gem being unquestionably the fastest one. She is nicely fitted up bat is not quite as large as the others. She can carry about twenty comfortably, On the beach the latest improvement is a see-saw erected out in the water. It affords much amusement to those on the beach also. A trapese is to be put tn_at the end of the spring board, also hanging rings above the spring boards. 'The beach this year will probably be patronized more largely 1n the day time than it was last yeur. The awnings erected afford shade for those who wish to be seated, while the bathers can supply themselves with straw hats. B One thousand head of one, two and three-year-old steers for sale.

John Pierce came here on the Fourth from Omaha, where he claims to be a clerk in & wholesale grocery house. He londed up with beer and then strolled along Broadway playing “‘smarty.” One of his cunningest tricks was, as he passed & lady to slap bier on the shoulder and then go on. About the second time he Eluyuu this smart trick he was grabbed y an irate husband, who was merciful enough not to thump the fellow, as he ought to have done. He turned lim over to the police. Pierce had the case continued until yesterday, and tried to square his act by an apology, but Justice Schurz thought a fine wss needed. Pierce had to put up $10 besides the apology. It is hoped the lesson will do him good. —— J. W. & E. L. Squire make beautiful abstracts of title and deserve the success they are enjoying. ———— When you are in the city stop at the Pacific house.

DOINGS AT LAKE MANAWA, A Young Omaha Blood Punished For Insuiting Ladies—A Susploious Prowler With Too Many Spoons—Fatal Accident. The Closing Races. The closing day of the races proved a successful finish, The sun was hot, the ky quite clear and a fine breeze blow- ing. The track was a little too heavy with dust. The music for the day was furnished by a combination band, consisting of the Fifth regim the Geiman-American and the Dow City. It was, to say the least, better music in quantity, if not in quality, than was ever furnished auny races here before. The three bands played together well, too, considering that the combination was thus hastily tormed for the day. The meeting has proved a very satis- factory one, both to the management and to the public. By some strange freak of good fortune rain did not inter- fere, as it has with so many previous meetings, The weather throughout has been favorable, the attendance good and the horses many and speedy. Much of the success and “enjoyment of the meeting has been due to Mr. Smith, of Earlville, 111, the starting judge. His clarion voice, his sharpness in making rulings and the lectures which he deliv- ered from the judges' stand served to while away the monstrosity of waits and of tedious scorig. The promptness with which he and his associates squashed the attemots at crooked work caused the public to feel well satistied. The open- ing day settled this feature of horse racing, and jock and betters quickly caught onto the fact that horses must be driven to win and fair work must be done. The first event yesterday was the 2:48 trot. There were nine sturters, who drew r(lncup as follows: Atlas, Barney Losell, ansas City; Altamont, . E. Greers, Co' lumbia, Tenn.; Colonel Sprague, Price ~ Smith, Minncapoli Idalia, Crawfordsville, Ind.; Charles Buckley, UhtledohUND . Mattshi M inrisnpolis] Daisy H, L. J. Starbuck, MecCook, Neb.; Daniel L., M. ‘I. Patrick, Omaha; Miss Cowley, Anderson & Mclntosh, Marietta, Ga ; Cora Stewart, Bob Stewart, Kansas Cit; Miss Cowley was the favorite in the pool. It was a fine field of horses, and rather than allow the usual squabble over scoring, a quick send off was given but the start was a poor one. To the half it was a snug race between Atlas ana Idalia. Daniel I, went off his feet badly. Uncle Josh, though far back on the send off, pushed speedily into third place but then fell back. Miss Cowley made some bad breaks on the stretch but finally got down to her work and pushed along next to the winner and came under the wire lapping Idalia, who took the heat in 2:31%. Ora Stewart was third, Atlas fourth, Uncle Josh fifth, Altamont'sixth, Daisy I seventh, Danicl L eighth and Colonel Sprague ninth, all the horses getting it, though the Colonel bal escaped. The second heat was a hot one, Idaha led well to near the half, when by a break she fell back, clear to the end of the string, and then by a wonderful burst of speed she closed up, getting into second place at the three-quarter pole, traveling very fast indeed to make up this loss, She kept up her speed to the finish, and t us she passed under the wire broke asuin, but the heat was won before the break. Ora Stewart was only a nose beliind, and Miss Cowley lapping her sulky. Colonel Sprngue‘f{ot the flag in his face. Altamont moyed up from sixth to fourth place. Time: 3 The third heat proved a deciding one, It was a hard send off especially for Daniel L., who %ol. left entirely. He tried to catch up by running, and while he was thus busy there was an inter- esting race going on at the front, Idalia kept the lead but she had not too much room, and Ora Stewart and Miss Cowley were continually swapping sec- ond and third positions, the others string- ing out. Idalia won the heat in 2:32}, Ors Siewart second and Miss Cowley third, SUMMARY, Idalia 11 9.8 33 4 4 6 5 8 6 57 Daniel 1 78 Colonel Sp 9 dis Time—! iCIAL PACING, The special pace between Lottie P. and Dan D. was a mile dash. Both are noted Omaha pacers, Lottie P i record of 217}, is owned by E. son, and Dan D. has a record of 2: is owned by C. E. Mayne. The race was for a purse of $1,000. It was a tame affair. Lottie P. went clear off her feet after passing the quarter pole and had to come to a dead stop be- ore resuming her travels, which from then on could hardly be called a race. Dan D. went on, making the mile in 2:20. Lottie ran down the home stretch, but did not get insde the distance flag. , THE 2:23 TROT hud seven starters, who drew their places as named: William C., Price Smith, Minneapolis ; Consul, 'C. E. Mayne, Omaha; Elmwood Chief, R.T. Kneebs, Sioux City; Orphan Boy, J. W. Volge- song, Eli( O.; White Stocking, Bob Stewart, Kansas Citx- General Hancock, George W. Farrier, ) iinnenpulis; Zg, D, B. Staples, Stillwater, Minn, Consul was the favorite in the pools by great odds. Judge Smith opened with his usual lecture, warning the drivers that it must be a fair race, and that no foolish ness or fraud would be allowed to pass by unpunished. “T'he first heat was rather bobby. Elm- wood Chief went badly to pieces on the first turn and again on the home stretch. Willsam C. slso took a turn in the air, and on the second half Hancock bobbed serenely up. Consul led steadily clear aronnd, but the chief getting down to business kept closing up, and on the homestretch seemed to be in a fair way toget his nose ahead, but broke. Even then as Consul passed under the wire the Chief was ¢ a neck short. White Stocking third, Zig fo General Han- cock fifth, Orphan xth, William C seventh, Time—2:23, The second heat was lost by Consul on the first quarter. In making the first turn he broke badly, and Elmwood Chi went to the head and stayed there. White Slxwkini kept up in second and third lace. Consul, after catching himself, airly flew until on the half he got close upon the Chief. On the third quarter Elmwood Chief went up in the air, and it seemed for & moment that Consul would et his nose ahead, but the Chief caught imself so quickly that he kept the lead, und on the homestretech Consul gave it up and let White Stocking come in sec- ond, Consul taking third, Orphan Boy fourth, Zig fifth, General Hancock sixth, William C was distanced. Time—2:2 There was a little delay caused both Consul and Elmwood Chief needing the blacksmith. The pools were selling Consul $20 to $22 for the fleld. The third heat was one of the most ex- citing of the meeting, although not so spee fi Orphan Boy from the send-off weat By ng sround and took the pole THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: FRIDAY., JULY 8, 1887. at the first turn. Consul made a little break. Elmwood went off his feet, but made one of his quick catches, and gained rather thun lost. At the half they were all bunched closel(v), but Elmwood mude another break. On the third quarter Elmwood led, followed by White Stock- ings, Consul and Orphan, each lapping the other. Consul went off his fect again, and, as vsual, lost time in catching on again, This was his last attempt to win the heat, and he saved his strength by being content with fourth place, leaving the contest to White Stockings, Orphan Boy ana the Chief. White Stockings came under the wire a length winner; Elmwood Chief with his nose ahead of Orphan Boy, but the judges, on account of the Chief’s running, gave the second to Orohan Boy; Elmwood Chief third and ’5‘3““[ fourth, The time was slow— 208, Judge Smith interjected a warning that he understood there was a probability of the race being fixed, and that all must drive to win, or other drivers would take their places. The crowd cheered as usual, and took fresh interest. The fourth heat got a good start, Elmwood Chief and Consul led out, and the others strung along. The heat was steadily trotted, Consul getting to_ the front and kennm“lhcr-‘. Elmwood Chief a close second. Vhite Stockings pushed up 1nto third place at the half and kept there, while Orphan Boy was fourth, General Hancock fifth, and Zig sixth. Time—2:22%. The judges then ordered a change of drivers, a new one_ taking White Stock ing and another Elmwood Chief, Judge Smith announcing that money had been offered to keep White Stockings back, and that other overtures had been made, which caused the judges to decide it was better to have a change of drivers in the interest of the turf, A like change was mude at the Marshalltown races, and Whi tockings and the Chief fell back mstead of going to the front, as the judges expected. The pools were selling Consul #10 and the ficld 85 previous to the fifth heat General Hancock was drawn, The fifth was the deciding heat, and it was one of the prettiest of the whole meeting, It was steadily traveled, Consul keeping in the lead from the start to the finish, but being closely followed, The horses kept handsomely nearly all the way around, and they came down the homestretch h lapping the other. It was a fine finish for this most successful meeting® Consul won the heat and race in 2:24%.

It was yesterday won by the man, the Jady being gracefully defeated. Time —1:59. e Probably Fatal. News received last night indicates that the accident which befell William Hall, baggageman on the Kansas City railway, will probably prove fatal. The train was just leaving Bigelow, and young Hall was passing along the foot rail on the side of tihe mail car just as the train was passing through a close bridge. He was struck by the timbers and fell. When found he was laying in the middle of the bridge just outsice of the rails. He was taken up to St. Joe where he is now being cared for. He is terribly burt and his _chances for recovery are very siim. He is suffering from a con- cussion of the brain and a fracture of the skull. There1s a cut across his head in front wide enougi to lay a finger in. This is sad news to Mr. Hall’s many friends here. He has for u long time been running between this city and Kan- sas City, and has been making his home at the Paciftic house. He is very hignly esteemed here, and the keenest interest is felt in the result of his injuries. His father and mother live in Des Moines. A pecularly sad feature of the case is that the young man was to be married w}zhm amonth to a young)ady in Peoria, —— Personal Paragraphs, Henry Atkins left last night for De- troit. W. H.

New York Sun: *I got up ten minutes Ago to give my seat to a lad, remarked a passenger on a Broad car_last Wedn av evening, when it was raining as 1f another deluge had come, “‘and thut dude in the corner took it, and has stuck to it ever since.” ‘The standing room in the car was thronged with women, young and old, a number of them evidently weary shop girls, for it was the hour for the close of Iabor in the stores. The “dude,”’ who had taken the seat indicated, was attired in the best custom made clothes, and his delicate hands and complexion showed that he had not spent a toilsome day. He adhered to hisseat with a ps nce worthy of a better cause, and stared fixedly at the bustle of & girl who was hanging to a strap in front of him “In Boston,” remarked another pas- senger as the big drops trickled down s neck from the roof over the back plat- form o gentleman would sit while a Iady is standing, unless it might be Dr. Mary Walker, and not in her case, but for the pantaloons. 1've been in several of the leading cities of the couniry, und New York rather takes the lead for in- difference to the comfort of women on the street cars, although it used not be to so. In Chicago the native Americans and better sort of foreigners all give way to women as @ rule, although I “used to mnotice in Chicago that the fellows called anarchists never showed any disposition to give up their share of sitting room, however willing they might be to accept a share of another man's property,” ‘‘How is it in Philadelphiat” asked the passenger who had first spoken, “‘Well,” was the reply, it is hard to tell what a male Philas ufi:hiuu would do if a street car was crowded and a woman SPECIAL PRICES for 30 DAYS On Furniture, Household Goods, Stoves, etc, to make room for Fall Stock.
