A Strong Wind Interferes With the Sport—The Races. Sart Lake City, Utah, August 81.—|Spec- ial Telegram to Tus Bre]—The second day’s regatta on the Great Salt Lake took place at Garfield. About seven thousand people were present. During the first and sccond cvents the water was rough and a ST breeze prevailed. The time made was not fast owing to these causes as well as to the fuct that the wen being unaccustomed to this high altitude were completely fagged out from their exertions of yesterday. Tho course in ali the races was one and one-half miles with a turn. - in the first event, which was double sculls, the Delawares of Chicago had an easy vic- tory. They made the mile and a half in 11:31, followed by the Modocs of St. Louis in 11:50, and the Farraguts of Chicago in 11:51. The Sylvans of Moline were outside the course, It was & hard pull after the turn, the men rowing dirccuy in the teeth of the wiad. In the second event for single sculls Gas- trich of the Modocs, led for awhile, but Cor- bett of the Iarraguts, soon pulled away from him and won the race in 12:07, Gastrich second in 12:23, Fleming of the Syl- vuns third in 12:30. J. F. Korf, of the Delawares, again met with an aeci- dent to his shell, as in yestsrday's race, and dropped out of the contest almost at the start. There was a stiff breeze vlowing from the shore during this entire race. In the four-oared race, although the water had become calmer and the wind had died down, the oarsmen seemed tired out but they made a very interesting finish, The Modoes of St. Louis, crossed the line winners n 9:52, the Far) 3 vans in 10:04. T'he O-wash-ta srand Rap- ids, were distanced. To-morrow the elubs will give an exhibition race ut Garfield.

Lo Haste to be Rich, Dr. Crosby in the Forum: But now one word to the young man who is mak- ing haste to be rich. Not one out of ten thousand who give. talent, energy and hfe to this race ever reach the goal. We have seen that the goal itsell is o grand delusion, but, as you will not_see the wruth, perhaps the tremendous chances against you in the race may turn you to a wiser course. Your com- petitors ave legion, and they have no bowels of mercy. They cirry sharp Ifully. ce becomes a game of heartless ¢, and your discomfiture will ex- ympathy. You cannot stop a moment to rest or you will be trodden under foot. Plot and counterplot will keep you busy day and night until your brain reelsand your physical faculties fail. Your hair becomes prematurely white, your limbs totter, your food has no relish, your disposition grows sour, ou are nervous with expectation or Y il daggers and they use them sk The ra ear. Altogether you are a very miger- able creature, made 8o by your own wilfulness. With mind and body thus weighed down, the thought that all is done for a questionable advantage and also by a questionable means will haunt youin spite of yourself, and add a moral to the intellectual aud physical decay. When we say this to the young man who i3 bewitched by the siren, either thorough unbelief is his response, or else he 1s sure that his is an exceptional case and that he is going to be wise enough to avoid the mistakes and calam- ities that have wrecked so many before him. Itis the hope of the infuluutnd gambler who puts down his money in spite of the staring facts of the gam- bling table. f Awerica is to be ruined it will be by materialism, the accumu- lation of individual wealth and the mad chase for such accumulation. It is that which will dey up bhuman sympathies, divert the mind from high and healthy thought, degrade art and science and literature, destroy family life, poison the fountain of society, sanction immor- alitics and make the nation a seething caldron of selfishness and unrest, The importance of purifylng the blogd cans not be overestimated, for without pure blood you eaunot enjoy good health, At this season nearly every one needs a good mediclue to purify, vitalize, and eurich the blood, and Hood's Sarsaparilla is worthy your confidence, It is pecullar In that i§ strengthens and bullds up the system, creates an appetits, and tones the while 1t eradicates disease.

A Close Oall, Crestoy, Ta, August 51.—|Special Tole- gram to Tie Bee.]—A bad wreck oceured on the “Q" near Murray, the second station east of Creston, at 9 o'clock this morning. An extra freight west, carrying a coach loaded with passengers for the Creston fair, was ditched by a bad rail and a flagman sent back to stop & following extra.

About forty butchers met at Kessler's hall last evening to arrange for taking part in the parade on Trades Day during the fair. Mr, J, O'Keeffe was called to the chair and Mr. J. H. White acted as secretary. After a general discussion Messrs, A, E. Pokorny, D. H, Kilmore, W, Farr, C, H. Moody and F\ L. Clinton were appointed a committee to consult with the general com- witteo of arrangements and secure & place in ine, Messrs. O'Keeffe and Farr were made a committee to notify all butchers not at the meeting of the plans for the parade. A motion was passed that all butchers, wholesale and retail, close their shops on Trades Day after 9 o'clock in the morning. The sentiment of the meeting was for parading with wagons, every man to dress und decorate to suit his own fancy.

Someone has said to a Globe-Demo- crat reporter that it is astounding how little thought invaiids and their friends bestow on some questions in which they are vitally interested. For instanee, it is au every-day occurrence for people who either suffer with or are threatencd by pulmonary diseases to leaye for Colo- rado, by order of physicians, But very few of them inguire why the climate of Colorado is expected 1o benefit them. The fact is that except in the early stages of lung disease it is a problem which puzzles even good physicians, whether that chmate will do good or harm. Denver is mora than 5.0 feet above the sea level. That is to say, St. Louis, being about 700 feet agbove the sea, Denver is nearly amile higher than we are here, The result is that the at- mosphere isfar more rare,and thie theory upon which residence there is supposed to benefit weak lungs is that extra exer- tion necessary to inhale the fproper amount of the vitalizing element gives fuller and freer play to all parts of the lungs, and so preserves them from decay. But sogreat a ghange in altitude, if made suddenly, may be too severe a strain upou a nuture weakened by disease, and the change has often proved fatal.

WasniNatoN, August 21.—In the senate to - day the house joint resolution to extend until September 15 the joint resolution of July 81, to provide temporarily for the expenses of the government, was reported and passed, The resolution offered yesterday by Mr. Cullom, concérning transit in bond without payment of duty of goods from Canada con- trary to law, was considered and after a short debate went over, Mr, Vest criticised some of the statements made yesterday by Mr. Cullom, particularly a8 to the violation of the civil service reform inthe Chicago postoffice, The statement was that Postmaster Judd allowed postoftice em- ployes o be taxed for democratic campaign expenses by Mr. Esher, Judd's law partne If Mr. Judd, said Mr, Vest, had thus, throug his law partner, emulated the example which the republican party had set for many years he ought to be put out of office and to receive the condemnation of every honest man. As # counterpoise 1o that charge, Mr. Vest sent 1o the clerk’s desk and had read several let- ters from Mr. Cullom to Mr. Dudley, when the latter was commissioner of pensions, ask- ing loave of absence with the pay of pension examiner to make political speeches in Illinois, Mr. Cullom admitted having written such letters, but he defended his action on the ground that government employes were en- titled to thirty days’ leave with pay. . Mr. Hale pointed Mr. Vest to a ‘‘modern iustance of a violation of the civil service reform, and seut to the clerk's desk and had read & Washington dispatch to the New York Tribune, stating that John W. Trainor, who i8 in charge of the document room of the democratic national committee in New York, is an official of the intesior department with a_salary of $1,800. Mr. Hale recommended Mr. Vest to make a pilgrimage to the inte- rior department and have the secretary lay his strong hand on Trainor and either bring him home or remove him. Mr. Hoar—*‘Or promote him." The senate then resumed consideration of the fortifications bill, and after onc amend- ment had been adopted the bill was passed. A conference on disagreeing votes was or- dered, and Messrs. Dawes, Plumb and Gor- man were appointed conferes on the part of the senate. Mr. Stewart askod unanimous consent that the bill for the admission of the state of Washington be taken up on Monday at 2 o'clock and continued until disposed of.

The senate then adjourned. House, WasnINGTON, August 81.—The house on assembling, proceeded to a consideration of the conference report on thesundry civil ap- propriation bill. After some opposition to the report by Mr. Cobb of Alabama, on account of an agree- ment to the senate amendment appropriating £40,000 to pay certain claims of the Miami and Peoria Indians, the report was agrecd to. The house then proceeded to consider the amendments upon which the agreement had not reached in the conference, The remain- der of the day was devoted to a discus: the amendment relative to the congressional library building, durmg which the extrava- gance of the séheme to w hich congress had committed itself was considered and fully commented upon. The nouse insisted on its disagreement to the senate amendment. Pending action on other amendments on which no agreement had_been reached, the house took a recess until 8 o'clock. At the eveniug session Mr. Bingham of Pennsylvania calléd up the bill granting a pension of §3,500 per annum to the widow of the late Phil H, Sheridan. Mr. Cheadle of Indiana objected, and raised a point of no qugrum, but he was willing that it should be made a special order for some day when there should be a full house. Mr. Bingham then asked that the bill be made a special prder for to-morrow, but to this Mr. Kilgore, af Texas, objected, declar- ing frankly that' his purpose was to defeat the bill. Mr. Hingham thereupon withdr the bill, and it was allowed to retain 1ts pl; on the calendar; M. Kilgore also raised a point of no quorum against the next Wil called ub by Mr. Carath of Kentucky. Mr. Caruth said that he would withdraw the bill und let the re- sponsibility for the defeat rest where it belonged. Mr. Kilgorg replied that when he desired the geutleman to lecture him he would nvite him to do so. He was responsible to his constituents for his action, and if any member wanted to make a per- sonal matter of it he could do so whenever he thought proper. Twenty-seven private pension bills were passed, and the house at 10:80adjourned until to-morrow. .

In the Middle of the Oll Belt, the Junction of Two Railroads and Wyoming's Prospective Capital City. A Visit to Bessemer. BessexEr, Carbon County, Wyo., August 25.—To the Lditor of Tur B As T BEE is about the only daily taken in this part of the country, I thought thata letter from this rapidly developing section that is tributary to your city would be acceptable matter. Starting from Omaha to the Sweetwater country on Friday last I spent Sunday in the thriving little city of Chadron, leaving there Monday morning for the west. On my way out I met a number of 1lllinois capitalists bound for Bessemer, 80 I concluded to make a temporary stop there. We reached Lusk for dinner and passed Douglas about 4 p. m. The only excitemont there was the first issue of the Douglas Republican, which hes tho appearance of stability in its make-up, and the collection of & posse to hunt for the Union Pacific train robbers reported to be in the vicinity. Glen Rock was reached at supper time and we put up here for the night, preferrmg a stage ride to our desti- nation rather than the i construction train that runs to within sevel miles of Bes- semer. Tues lay morning we boarded a very com- fortablo three-scated rig driven by that v crau oil expert and miner, Cy 1ba, of Glen Rock. Iba is one of those old 49-ers so rap- idly passing away, and is a typical western man whom it is a pleasure for a tenderfoot to meet, Cy claims that one of the horses that makes up his team was the only sur- vivor of the Custer massacre, but as I have met this horse in something like scven dif- forent states, and as nobody but Jones would pay the freight on him, I accepted the story Without argument.
