END OF THE GREAT RACE Princo Moro Than Regains the Long Lost Lap N AND SPINS TO FAMOUS VICTORY. ireets With Thunder- the Close of a A Vast Throng ous Appiause otable Contest on Wheels. The Home Strotel The crowd that assombled at the Colos #eum last night to witness the close of the groat three-hour six-day bicycle race w of the very largest ever seoen at any sort of a sporting event in this western country. Com petent judges variously estimated the attend anco from five to seven thousand people. Every soat in the vast structure was pied, and all the promenades were filled with a jostling, excited throng. Before the signal %o start was given last night the judeed held s one ocen a consultation and unanimously agreed that the distance to be run to determine who was the winner shisuld be fifty miles for all ex cepting Princs, who was informed that he would have to traverse fifty miles and ono lap, to make up the grounc be had lost b, reason of un accident to his new wheel Thursday night. This courso was adopted in order that the riders might finish on the scratch, which arrang wis frecly acquiesced in by the riders, as they saw it was as fair for one as the other, and obviated the possibility of u jangle or dis pute. It was evident from the start last that tho great crowd was out for some wd bound to_have it at any cost. The peoble choered and stamped and yetlea and clapped their hands at any burst of speed from the riders, and kept it up until the ca- pacious awpithcater fairly resounded with the deafening noise. DPrince scemed to be the favorite of the audience, and they wore continnally caliing on him w go_ahead and try to recover his lost ground. But he whirled on as if oblivious of the pres- ence of anothor soul but himself. | flashing oyes, and empressed lips, however, told that e was in for some great work. He storted out,foutting a good pace for his com- petitors, and made no effort to cut down their lead until late in the cvening, Morgan, Enapp and the soldier made num- berle ts to cut in on the redoubtuble Juck and incroased their advantaze, but he watched them like an eagle, and on cvery oe- cnsion when a spurt was made he bent to his work and quickly regamed his position in the lead. About fifteen minutes aftor s he madc an_attempt to_recover the lost lap, and a8 he shot ahead of the other racers like a bird upon the wing, the thundrous checrs that arose from the excitod multitude, made both earth and atmospherc He was not equal to the ta however, th dogging tactics adopted by the other riders, who haa evidently pooled egainst him in the determination to beat him at ail hazards. Their motto wus, anybody to Dbeat Prince, and his first trial to get back his lost ground vesulted in a miscrable failure, Still the thousands of anxious spectators never grew discouraged, and kept up thoir inspiring cries until it sounded as if paudes monium had broken loose. The ladies, too, and there several thousand of them present, all scemed to be enlisted in Prince’s cause, and their handkerchicfs were kept waving almost unremittingly throughout the long and stubborn struggle. The pool-sellers were kept busy making books on Knapp and Morgan, and long odds on the soldier, but it was only infrequently that any one was venturesome enough to lay adollar on the man behind. There were few, however, who banked on their faith m Jacl's powers, and iu the face of the most discouraging outlook bet their money on him, All three of the leaders, Morgan, Knapp and Reading as exasperating as it was to the crowd, were riding faster and smoother than on any previous evening, and by 0 o'clock everybody had abandoned dll hope of seeing he local favorite come in anything better han last. So much for human calculations. When the twenty-eight mile post was reached Prince let himself out, and oh my, oh me, the way he did ride! A night hawk aftera gnat, o canvas back duck, & carrier pigeon Jvas no where. It was at once evident to the vast throns that he had started in dead arnest to retrieve his losses, and tho yell hat went up from the thousands of throats was deafening. Kverybody was on their feet, handkerchiefs waved and hats and umbrellas went safling aloft, as stead- ily, surcly, swiftly tho gallant rider dncreased the interval between himself and foos. Inch by inch they contested the way, but it was no use. Jack was going at o superhuman guit, and after o spurt of four miles he was at the heels of the other com- potitors and the lost lap was regained. What an uproar then swolled throughout the great structur It must surely have been heard throughout the length and breadth of the city. It was an exciting event and no mis- take, and all who misscd it lost one of the most exhilirating moments of a lifetime. While the dripping riders were thus strug- gling as 1f for their vory lives, the Julius Meyer Musical band discoursed its liveliest nirs, and this with the thunderous cries of the grost throng made a combination of sound but seldom heard by mortal ears. The Musical Union band bas made rapid advance- ment, and all the week the programme ren- dered was one of unusual excellence. The finai spurt for victory was also a momentous event, and after o tremendous closing struggle the invincible Prince crossed the winning chalk line a half wheel's length in front of Morgan, with Knapp third and the soldier last, The total score for the six duys was 804 miles and S laps. Besides the sweepstakes, $500, Prince receives 50 per cent of the gate receipts, amounting to $480; Morgan, 25 per cont, $320; Kuapp, 15 per cent, and Reading 10 per cent. GAME MUST BE PROTECTED. A Law Required to Punish Foreign Hunters and Shippers. If the Omaha Gun club desires to do some effective work, it should proceed, with- out further delay, to formulate n biill to be presented to the legislature for the protee- tion and preservation of water fow! and prairio chicken. Reliable statistics, gath- ored after no little trouble by the sporting editor of Tur Beg, show that during the past close season, from July 4 to September 10, over forty-five thousand dozen prairie chickens were shipped by market hunters sent into this stato from Iilinois, Indiana and fowa to shoot for tho eastern markots, They were principally slaughtered in the northern tior of countics, and shipped in re frigerator cars furnished by commiss ion merchunts and companies Who prosceute a largo business in this unlawful line. These cars are supplied by these companies and located at isolated points on the froutior, the hunters Lat o monthly salary. At the ratio above stated, prairic chickens will be next to extinet in this state within two or three years, This is a frageant outrage, and one committed in open detiance of the present game laws, which, it must be acknowledged are wofully incomplete. What has been re wvealed thus far, however, should be sufficient arguncnt W convineo any logitimate spor aman that there is need of additional legisla tion to govern this matt Now us to water fowl, 1t has been frequently and foreibly brought 0 the writer's notice by thoroughly posted and responsiblo partios, men thoroughly fawiliar with the subject matter in hand, that ducks have been known to have been driven off their nests in the sloughs and aarshes adjucent to Omaha, and mercilessly sluughtored for the warket. Lven as late as the 10th of June, when they were setting upon their eggs, have they thus been mo. lested. It is a well known' fact that gecse and ducks are decreasing with every passing year, and atan incredible rate at that, de spIte the excessive fecundity of these birds, and thav but a few wore years will be required 10 compass their absolute extermination. Somo legislation is surcly necessary to ob- viate such a deplorable result, and this ean only be done by protecting their b dur- ing the season of vidification—-the laying and hatchiug scuson, A well informed local au- thority suggests that the best law would be close season from May 1 to September 10. This would give the birds time to obtain strongth cod growth to protect themselves, Again, whore oue duck is now bred on the waters contigious to this territory, a thou- sand or wore would be the result under such protection, At present. they are Lunted and are cuploy shiot from the moment thoy arrive hers fn | the balmy spring time until they depart_in bleak mutuinn, All true sportsmen would appreciata such a law, and hail with un- feignod jubilation it phssage. The water fowl must be protected, or it is inevitablo that they must follow in the wi of the buffalo and the wild pigeon It might be well to add_hore that there is now a law on the statute books of Nebraska prohubiting thes shipping of game from the stato for market pur: poses, yet in overt violation of this gamo is being shipped out by means of these refrigorator o n a bulk that is as tounding. As romedy for this, there either should be a state warden, with power o em ploy subordinates throughout the state, wp- pointed, or a heavy penalty provided for every violation of the prescnt law. This pen alty should be a healthy fine, one-half of which to go to tne mformor and the other half, after costs were deducted, to the school frind in the district in which tho offensc may have been committed. A similar law to this | i3 in force in the state of Michigan, where game and fish are rapidly multiplying, and the law is looked upon as the solution of the aiculty The Des Moines Club, There is no longer any doubt about Des Moines remaining in tho Western associa tion another season. The club has reorganized and Jim Hart engaged as ger. Ho has goneto work getting a tc towether, and asserts that he will expericnce no trouble in getting a full quoto of No. 1 men, as he has already over one hundred ap: plicants from base ballist anxious to play Des Moines.

Ingraham of this city, as in troducing a novel sport there last sumuer, the fighting of cocks with gloves, which tho New York bloods are now taking up and opting in their club pleasurcs, as original. The Sun claims that the idea was pu a conception of Ingraham’s and that he is en- titled to the crediv for it. John J. Hardin has been presented with a handsome black Spanish pointer by Mr. Jumes Beck, proprietor of the Kunsas ken- nel, at Wamego, Kan. This puppy comnes from the purcst strain, and is the only one in the state of Nebraskn, He is valued a Colonel Frank S. Parmalee, of the Colling Gun company, and Messrs. James Smith and George W.

Men and Women With Thoughts Di- rected Toward Heaven. vangelists Potter and Miller have had a remarkable success during the revival meetings which the have been conducting in the First Methodist church, on Davenport street, the past week, and as it has been demonstrated to that congrezation that the church is inadequate in_capacity to hold the sinners that have been flocking to the meet- ings, the Mothodist clergymen have been devising means to secure” larger quarters. Thursday night they held a meeting to tako steps ' thav direction. Sevoral favorcd building a tabernacle on Davonport strect just opposite the Palace livery stables, noar Seventeenth. But this scheme was abaudoned and there was then talk of sccuring the exposition building, but this idea had too be abandoned because that hall had to many dates for danccs, mectings and othier amuscments. 1t was finally decided to lense the armory of the Omaha Guards on Capitol avenue.” Accordingly, the armory was secured and to-night the evangelists will enter upon their second week’s evangelical work init. Itis expected that the crowds will be tremendous, and o use the words or the scnior evangelist, there will be at least one hundred converts to-night. At all events, ho wants to sce that many. At the Sewara strect Mcthodist church, this morning, the evangelists will hold forth, and at 4 o'clock this afternoon Mr. Potter ' will talk to “‘men only” at the rooms of the Young Men's Christian Association.

The proposed new site for Fort Omah Bellevue, as recommended by General Brooke, is about nine miles south of Omaha on the lines of tho B. & M. and Union P cific railronds. It has often served in summcras picnic grounds for the peoplo of Omalia, being par- ticularly adapted for the purpose on account of its pituresque beauty und other attrac- tions, The site offered by H. T, Clark and which General Brooke recommended aceept- ing, is partly woodland aud partly prairie, and according to military authorities” would make n most acceptable location for an army post. It has an ample water supply from the Papilion river. In Lis recommendation the general advises the purchaso of W0 acres of land in_order that a proper rille range may be bad. As the land in question 15 valued at 8140 per acre and the total appropriation is only £200,000, two-thirds of wh is o be ex pended in buildings, it can readily be scen that an additional appropriation will be nec essary before the proposed change can be made, smator Manderson has expressed his intention of endeavoring to sceure au ad ditional fund for this purpose The recommendation of General Brooke is endorsed by Generals Schofield und Crook.

After somo debate the substitute offercd by Mr, Jones was rejected, and the substi tute offered by Mr. Vost agreed to, and the bill was passcd 1, and Messrs, A conference was _as!

Mr. Stewart gave notice that he would move instructions to the committee to re. port a bill requiring the amount of debt to be secured by the railroad companics in construction 1ad improvements on their main lines inciuding double tracks and _tun nels to avoid high grades of branch lix and in construction of such hydraulic worl for irrigation as congress may authovize with such limitations on freights and fares as will insure cheap transportation.

On motion of Mr. Thon of IMlinois, the senate bill was passed granting to Randolph county, Illinois, the title of the United States to certain lands in that county, The house then went into committec of the whole on the postofice uppropriation biil. After considerable debate the committee rose to allow the house to limit the debate, and that having been done, Mr. Springer of Hlinois reported that the' conferenze com- mittee on territories had been unable to agree. R‘\h Baker of New York offered a resolu- tion, justructing the house conferces to ex- clude New Mexico from the bill, to provide for the admission of North Dakota by vro clamation, and Washington shall be admitted on the same terms, cither by proclamation or by formai acts of admission. The matter went over till Monday and the committee of the whole uined consideration of the post- office appropriation bill, Mr, Mason of 1llinois said he was opposed to the bill, not because on account of the effect it wight have upon the Chicago post- oftice as for the effect it might have upon the Seventh district of South Carolina. With this preface Mr. Mason proceeded to dis- cuss the Smalls-Elliott contested election case. He had come to the conclusion that the most gigantic frauds and the most out- rageous and disgusting schemes to rob the republicans of ~a representative in the Fiftieth congress ever known in modern politics had been perpetrated in the Seventh district of South Caroliva. The laws of South Carolina had been framed for the ex- press purpose of allowing demoorats to cheat republicans at the polls, ~ If the channels of crime were searched there could not be found one which the democrats of the Seventh district had not resorted to to cheat the negro. The record of the district would not have been equalled had nbt Arkansas fur- nished additional crime, and served notice on the Seventh district that it .must look out for itself, and murder, if necessary, to get a majority of democrats in this house. In the evidence taken some of the democrats had dociared that they had been intimidated by the negroes. Had any man seen a canary bird intimidate 8 soake! o bootblack . intimidate a policeman!? a roaring lamb rush iuto a den ot cowering lions?! Then he had seen a South Carolina democrat mtimidated by a negro. After re- counting further outrages which he asserted had been perpetrated in South Carolina, Mr. Mason declared that he had no apologies to make for what he haa said, If the gentle. men were offended at him, let them take it out of him, and not out of his poor colored fricnd, Smalls. Mr.' Crisp of Georgia, chairman of the committee on clections,’ denied that the records sustained Mr. Mason'’s state- nents, Mr. Adams of Illinois marks to the bill under consideration. He espocially favored an incrensed number of trips by letter carriors in Chicago. ‘The bill being read for amendment, Mr. Cannon of I1linois, moved to increase the ap. propriation for pay of postofice clerks by £300,000, Pending a vote on the amendment the com- mitte arose and the house adjorned, i POLICE AFFAIRS, Several Officers Treated to a Touch ot Discipline, The board of police and fire com missioners held a longthy and somewhat important meoting at the mayor's oftice last night, An opportunity was given Ofiicer Clark, agninst whom charges of smoking while on duty ana_deserting his beat, to exoncrate himself, The oMcer said that he foilowed a man whom he considered a suspicious character into the shop and was nuot smok- ing. Joe Polser and Ired Koch, barbers, corroborated the imony. 'Sergeants Johuson and Hoge testified to the truthful- ness of the charge. Oficer O'Grady was charged by Pat Foloy with inhuman tréatment in twisting his arm out of place. The ofticer tostified that Foley came into the California house drunk and proceeded to raise a row; that he undertook to arrest him and conduct him to the patrol box, but that in doing so the prisoner slipped on the pavement and injured his arm. The oficer was also charged with peddling tickets on election day, which he ackunowl edged to have done. Ofticer Demorest was charged with being absent from duty without leave. The chicf testified that Demorest had been away from his station thirty-five days without a certifi- cate. City Physician Ralph said that he nad visited the ofticer six times during that time and bad found him able to perform duty at every visit except one. The officer said he had illy shaped feet and, not being able to find shoes to fit them, his pedal extremitics troubled him 8o that he was unable to pace his beat “Drinking while on duty and being intox| cated,” were the charges eotered WinsL Oficer Friedland. ‘The patrolman said that he followed a suspicious character into & sa- loon, and, being allicted with neuralgia, re- sponded to the bartender’s invitation to drink by taking a little Jamaica ginger sud whisky.

It must either ond in an_irresponsible military dictactorship doomed to final, if not speedy, overthrow, or else in auarchy and revolu ticn," Sun I g ancisco Call: A party formed of odds and ends—or Bonapartists, logitimists, and radicals, with o sprinkling of an: archists—is only formidable in opposition. Boulanger may make use of theso allies to raise himself to power, but they are hardly the material upon which a stable goverument can be founded. Detroit Journal: Paris has again taken tho bit in its teeth, and will probabiy ride to dostruction once more, dragging the country with it. The monarchists and imperialists have joined hands with the communists to destroy the republic, It does not seom pos- sible for it to struggle to its foet after this knockdown blow. Now York Sun: It romains to be soen whether General Boulanger has the will and personal force to make himself a groat political power. Discordant elements com pose his following, and his position, however- eminent at present, is one of difculty Nowhere is the step from the sublime to the ridiculous 8o short as in France. And is Paris France still? Wil the nation sanction the abolition of the presidency and the sen- ate! Will government by a singlo chamber be tried and found wanting, aud so the way prepared for tho rise of an adventurer or for a rostorationt These are questions which Frauce must aunswer. The republic is apparently entering upon a period of stress and trial. San Francisco*Examiner gramme upon which . Boulanger can hold his supporters together 15 war, Ho las the motlicst array of followers that cver found themselves rubbing eclbows in company. Roclicfort and De Lesseps, Louise Michel and the vlack nightgowned aristocrats of the Foubouryg Saint_ Germain unite in_cheering for the general, and not one of them can toll what the general 18 expected to do. All these people can foin in pulling dowri, but the moment Boulanger attempts anything constructive they will be at each other's throats. Indianapolis Nows: No friend of France sces any good in Boulanger’s victory. It is only the first step, and to do harm must be followed by progress in the same direction ; but it is a logical step and as such may indi- cate the weakness of the republie. Paul Globe: Whether Boulangism proves to bea menace to the peace of Bu- rope or not, it is cvidently likely to give in- creased anilnation to the political situation in Eranc Chicago Times: Boulanger cannot harm the already popular with the army, which gr under ‘his great capacity for organization, the manifestations of civil interest in him: self may induce him to seize the dircction of affairs. The situation is not as ripe for dic- tatorship as.that which yielded to the hand of the first Napoleon, but Boulanger is vaiu, daring, and unscrupulous. Washington Press: The character of the factions and combinations that Boulanger gathered about him—the Bonapartists, the royalists, the anarchists, all who lor any reason are opposed to the existing order of things—is suggestive of danger. If he should be able to master the situation and hold these ncongruous elements in check all may yet be well or at least all may not be lost. ~ Otherwise the outlook is dark with fatcful omens not onty to France but to the growth of civil liberty in Europe. Chicago inter-Ocean: If Boulanger is as strong as his friends believe he is, his tri- umph in Paris means a general overturning in France. Boston Globe: The only pro- If he act within the law republic, But French republicans are now fearing that Boulanger, who fancies himself another Napoleon, will make him- self emperor. One difference between Bou- langer and Bonaparte was wittily made clear in the chamber of deputics, when Floguet nger if it ever quictly arose and asked Bouls occurred to him that at his Boulanger's) age Bonaparte was dead ? Tho new hero is gray, and must find it hard playing the part of the hero of Lodi. New York World: Desvite all of Bou- langer's vrofessions of a simple desire for constitutional revision, 1t 1s_evident that ho is the embodiment of militarism, and that he is steadily aiming at a dictatorship. If cver elevated sufticiently he will develop as afoe of the republic, for he means force, and force is hostile to'any and every form of democracy. Albany Argus: The election of Boulanger brings a_disturbing factor into continental politics, and from yesterday onward forces that have been in qiiet massing themselves will begin to move within the sight of men. IKansas City Times: Boulanger is clected and cverybody wants to resign, This is cminently Frenchy, but it is not alarming, Philadolphia Record: Will Boulanger ro- enact the pa ouis’ Napolcon and inflict upon I ccond of December and a third cmpire of blood and despotism? Or will he, in moderating his own ambition, im itate General Monk and Genoral Lafayotte nd the erown of France to the Comto de Paris! These are questions which must be answered by history in the near future. Philadelphia Ledger: Boulanger is the controlling spirit of France to-day, and, in the sirewdest cstimation, 1ts evil spirit. His future course will be watehed by all the world with extraordmary interest. He can not at once act out his purposes, whatever they may be, What they are, time and ovents will show, but that they bode no good to democratic institutions in France scems to be the almost universal belief and fear of those most intelligent. San Francisco Chronicle: The alarmists will now try to work up a war sensation over the election, but there seems to be no reason for any aporehension. Boulanger can bide his time, and he is shrewd enough to know that the vear of the great expiosition is not the time 0 select for a coup d’ctat, St. Louis Post-Dispaten: It was a sugges tive comcidence that Boulanger's triumiph ant election in Paris fell upon the birthday of the German emperor, It is within possi- bility that the popular French general and the young German emperor may meet at the head of contending armies, Cincinnati Commercial: It is easy to at- tach too much importance to the allegad per- sonal insignificance of Boulanger. The man who has been shrewd enough without the prestige of victories won in the field to make such a formidible combination, and give Frauce hope iu his name, is not to be de- spised. Detroit News: 1t is easy to laugh at Bou- langer, and to call him a charlatan; but there must be qualities of greatness after allin o man who has made so profound an impres- sion upon one of the most iutelligent nations of the world, wud who has shown such eon summate ability in organiziug bis discon tented countrymen. Minnoapolis Tribune: The Boulangerist victory may involve not only the resignation of ll.llw cabinct but the fall of the republic as well, Philadelphia Inquirer!

Boston Globe: Itis not easy to cstimate with any degree of cortainty what the effact of Boulangers extraordinary victory will be. The one thing certam: is that the preseut government is doomed, not_only i its per- sonal make-up, but in its form. If the r public is to stand at all, as every sincere friend of freedom the world over hopes it may, 1t can only exist after a thorough re organization. Now York Herald: General Boulanger has @& larger opportunity than has come to any Frenchman since Louis Napoleon, invol ing the vrestige of his name, was returned from so many departments in 1845, With opportunitics come dutics. As he ac- cepts them it will be well or il for Franc well or ill for his own fame. Louis Globe-Womocrat: Tt must be d that the republic is at this moment, confronted with a groater peril than any which has presented itself hitherto in tho cighteon years of its existence. Washington Critic: Boulanger is a dandy, A wan au fait in fame; Although they try to down him, He gets there, tout le meme. Boulanger is a balker, Who, if he gets a chance, Will do all in his power To cook the goose of France, Philadelphia North American: A nation without a policy is like a man without a pur- pose, That is the situatiou in France to-day. Boulanger is _only an episode in & series of episodes apparently haphazard, But in a universs ubject to law there can be no accidents, e Y FOR THE LADIES.
