The wenther was fine and the largest crowd cver known was present, being var. fously estimated at from 15000 to 2 The track was in good condition, well sprinkled, hard and safe through two inches of dust, and a little fast. A great races was expected, but the expectation did not rise to the reality. As two years ago Hagin brought Ben All out of the west to lower the Keuntucky Derby record to 2:86%, 80 Armstrong came to-day, with Spokane, and two seconds more disappeared, Arm §£rong A yoar ago said that he was going to take this, the highcst honor of tho west. There were not enough coast people to ove come the immense enthusiam which backed the home horso, Proctor Knott, and betting was nearly all one way. The first pool sold this morning was 8150 for Kuott and $i11 for the field, while much better than this was done, both in the books and especially in private bets, This shows the strength of sutiment, As the horses filled the track for tho great event, all appeared in perfect condition, The jockey on the ereat futurity winner was cheered to the echo as he came out sixth, and Young's entries, who followed, were also applauded. Spokane was hardly no- ticed, though quite a tip was out among the knowing ones that he bad been saved for the occasion. Facing the post the starters and riders were: Sportsman, 118 pounds; Spokane, 118, Kiley; Proctor Knott, 115, Barnes; 'Once Again, 118, Murphy; Bookmaxker, 118, War- wick; Cassius, 118, Taral; Outbound, 113, Hollis; Hindoocraft, 118, Armstrong. The starter had little difficulty in getting them off {ogother, and tho start was very oven. Hindoocraft was in front, Bookmaker second, Spokaue third. On the way down to the stand Barnes gave Proctor Knott his head, und the great golding bounded for- ward like a fiash, passing the stand five lengths in the lead, Hindoocraft second, and Spokane third. * Young’s pair were closo be- hind. All the way around to the head of the stretch the positions were little changed, though tho crowd was closing up on Knott, who was ovidently waiting for the finish. As they turned around the stretch the race commenced, and seldom was such o run witnessed in America. Knott was let out, buv Spokane came up with a tremendous rush. Half way down the stretch Kuott swerved, and Spokane forged to the front by two longths. Barnes whecled the favorite into line just as they reachied the distance stand, and he came up likea bolt. It was too late, however, and Spokane passed under the wire a winner by a nose in 2:34k, Once Again third, three lengths oft, The rest were strung out. Spokane is owned by Noah Armstrong, of Helona, Mont.,, where he was bred. He wintered at Memphis, The race was worth 4,850 to the winner.

Mr. McLaughlin rode like a demon down the stretch, and could have won on Terra Cotta casily, but, thinking Santelene could win, he flled Terra Cotta ulmost doublo; but Sauto- ene failed to come to the front and Clara C. took the race, After some delay the judges ve the ruce to Clara C., but ruled Jockey cLaughlin and Terra Cotta off the track and declared all bets off, reserving thewr de- cision as to the place of the horses.

Lirrie ROCK, Ark., May 9.—~The federal authorities think now the theft of the Plum- merville ballot box last November, whicn led up to the assassination of Clayton, is cleared up. The grand jury has indicted O. T. Bentley, Walter P.

Veterans Give Governor Gor- don a Rousing Reception. Evizanern, N, J., May 9.—Governor Gor- don, of Georgia, was tendered an enthusias- tic reception here to-night, by the Drake Zouaves and other union voterans. After tue centennial parade in New York, 1t appears General Drake aud soveral mem- bers of his staff wet Governor Gordon and staff, and after a cordial greeting decorated them with badges of various kinds, as a mark of friendship and amity. At the meeting of the Grand Army of the Republic at Brooklyn the next day some im- petuous members spoke harshly of this acol dent and threatened to have General Drake impenched therefor. Governor Gordon re- ferred feelingly to this matter to-night, and said not a single Grand Army badge was be- stowed upon him or his staff, Thoy Woro all badges of companies and other organiza- tions. He said such an exhibition of temper on 80 ludicrous a misapprehension is sad. He would trust_with a thousand-fold moro contidence, the honor and safety of a repub- lic to the Keoping of those worn and battle- scarred veterans, who buried their sectional prejudice at Appomatox, and who were zlad to extend soldierly greetings to a sincere man who had fought against them, than to trust that republic to men who were unable 10 hide their passions even while doing honor to the memory of Washingtor. The verdict of the tribunal of the future, General Gordon said, has already been prac- tically told in the epitaph placed by a Ken- tucky father on the tombstone over the grave of his two boys, one of whom died in the federal and the other in the confederate service. This epitaph was: Here lie my brave boys. The one died fighting for the union, the other for tho rights of the states. Each died doing his duty as he conceived it."

EIGHTEEN “OURS TO CHICAGO. t3peaam Another Redgction in the Working oree of the Union Paciflo—Kiks horn Changes—The Union Depot Project. Flying Trips. Although a olause in the presidents’ agreement provides for the discontinuation of fast tramns, both passenge and freight, as far as practicable, the question of fast trains is now the most important in railway circles. Upon its withdratval from the live stock agreement by the Northwestern, the Bur- lington anoounced that it would run live stock trains s fast as steam could haul them, Wednesday night it inaugurated the sor- vico, and entered into a contract with Me- Cloud, Love & Co., of South Omaha, in which it is to convoy a train of twenty-nine loaded with stock from Omaba to 20 in the remarkable time of eighteen hours, The fast train left here Wednesday night and, at Pacific Junction, was dividled into two sections. The train reached Chicago in safety and made the run in seventeen hours and forty minutes, this bemng the time required by the second section. The Milwaukee road, last night, took in tow a train of nineteen cars loaded with cattie brought in by the Union Pacific. The train left here at 1l p.m., and was sched- uled to Chicago on o sixteen hour run. No report has been received concerning tho time of its arrival at Chicago. In addition to the issuc on fast freight trains, that of a tast passenger service is oc cupying considerable attention. The prin- cipal dificulty is between the Union Pacific and the Burlington on Chicago-Den- ver business. Already the Burlington has compelled the lines between Omaha and Chicago to cut down thoir time two hours, and now the Burlinzton threatens to shorten its time between Chicago and Deuver, mak- ing the run in thirty hours, whereas the pro- posed fast schedule is thirty-two hours. This action has been brought about, it is said, by the Union Pacific’s tin up with the North- western _and the Chicago & Alton. The Union Paciic and tho Northwestern can make any time established by the Burling- ton, but ' in pressing the fast hmit the Bur- lington hopes to shut out the Alton deal. Under the arrangement with the Alton, which takes effect Sunday next, through trains will bo run between Chicago and Denver via Kansas City. This is o circuitous route as compared with the Omaha circuit, and, by making quick time, the Burlingfon ant pates the diversion of traffic from the Kan- sas City route. The Alton claims that it can md will make the run between Kansas and Chicago in twelve hours and thirty min utes, but it would crowd the Union Pucific, it is said, to make the run to meet the Bur- lington over the Karsas division to Denver, Conservative railroad men are of the opin- ion that the imbroglhio will result in the cut- ting of rates, and atno distant period. Why the Northwestern Withdrew. CricaGo, May "9.~|Special Telegram to Tne Bree.|—The action of the Chicago & Northwestern road ip withdrawing from the agreement to maka thirty-two hours the minimum time to'bo consumed in the run- ning of stock traiis between the Missou river and Chicago, has caused considerable surprise. It was this road that first pro- posed the movement and brought about the agreement of thelinterested lines to reduce the speed of their stock trains, It appears that the action of tbe roads aroused the in- dignation of the Missouri river stock sLip- pers, and kndwing that it was the Chicago & Northwestern that oxiginated the idea, thoy proceeded to take rovenge on that company by giving all their business to the other lines. This causcd the Chicago & Noath- ‘western to back out of the agreemeut, which is now null and void. Newman Will Resign. It is now authentically announced that on June 1, W. H. Newman, thira vice-president of the Missouri Pacific, will tender his resig- nation, after an effective service in railroad circles of many years. That his resignation has long been before President Gould tor action has been generally suspected. Ata meeting of the ‘Lrans-Missouri association, held in Kansas City, Wednesday the suspicion was confirmed. An Omaha official who was present states that Mr. Newman informed his constituents that it would be the last meeting 1 which he would represcut tho Missouri Pacific. His successor is not yet known. An Fiection on the Viaduct. J. S. Cameron, assistant to President Adaws, of the Union Pacific, who bas had charge of the details connected with the new union depot at Omaha, stated that the plans had been agreed upon and that they were now in the bands of the architects at Kansas City. Mr. Cameron stated that the architects have been instructed to finish the plans immediately and forward them to this city. They will then iuside of three wecks be laid before the city council with a petition for a special election on the consiruction of the Tenth street viaduct. Died Yesterday Morning. J. 0.

Olds says the llne will be in run- uing order June L The inter-state cowimerce commission has decided that it has no juris- diction over water lines conncoting with foroign roads, and consequently the new route from Chicago will bo entirely outside tho jurisdiction of the commission.

A number of changes in tho by-laws were presented, and a plan to provide for a change in organization.

It has Been computed that between 36,000,000 and 87,000,000 of babics are born into the world each year, says the Leeds Mercury. The rate of production is therefore about seventy a minute, or rather more than one for every beat of the clock. With the one-a-minute cal- culation every reader is familar, but it is not every one who stops to calculate V! i ns when it comes to a year’s supply. And it will probably, therefore, startle a good many persons to find on the authority of a writer in the hospital that could” the infants of a year be ranged in a line incradies seven deep they would go around the globe. We have the ingenious conclusion also that supposing the little ones to grow up and the sexes to be about equally divided, we should have an army a hundred times as large as the forces of the British empire,with a wife in addition to every soldier. The same writer looks at the matter in a still more picturesque light. He imagines the hubies being carried past a given point in their mothers’ charge one by one and the procession being kept up continu- ‘ously night and day until the last comer in_the twelyemonth has passed by. A sufticiently liberal rate of speed is al- lowed, but even with these pabies-in- arms going past twenty a minute, the rear wing officer would onl( have seen asixth part of the infantine host file onward by the time he had veen a year at his post. In other words, the babe that haa to be carried when the work began would be able to toddle onward itself when a mere fraction of its com- rades had reached the saluting post; and when the year's supply of babies was tapering to a close, d:uru would be a rear guard ot of infants,but of romp- ing boys and girls, They would have sassed, in fact,out of the maternal arms ntothe hands of the school teacher Every moment of nearly seven year would be required to complete this grand parade of those little ones that in the course of a twelvemonth begin to play their part in the first age of man.
