A LARGE CROWD AT THE PARK. The Councilmanio lnvestigating Com- mitzee Agree Upon a Report— Lincoln's Sportsmen—City News Notes, cOLN BUREAU_OF THE OMATA 1 Lo 1029 P STREE » } LiNcoLN, June 29. Notwithstanding the day has been the hottest of the year, the excellent programme propared for the traveling men's outing drew a large crowd to Cushman park to-day. The attendance was much the largest of the weok, and the day was most happily soent, The German military band led the van to the train at 2:30 o'clock, and interspersed the talks of L. W. Lansing, Lawrence Has- kell and Postmaster Watkins with choicest music. Lansing was most happy in his ef- fort to-day. His drollery and sharp, pun- ent hits kept the crowd in the best of flbior, “Hashell, on “Ene Traveling Man and His Comforts” was very facotious, Lust, but not least, came Postmaster Wat- Jins, who told of the trials and tribulations of the gray-coated carriers in disbursing the traveling man's mail. The pathetic part of his sketch, however, was his description of the disappowtment of the boys in failing to get afticipated letters from the loved ones @t home, or perchauce their best girls. Miss KKatis D. Scothorn's readings were roceived with repeated encores, The tournament followed the toasts and specch making, and the grand stand was packed iho sardines in a box. There were six entries, viz: Ray Iarnes, Park Gar- routte, John Lotridge, Fred Doolittie and Walter Dean, all sons of traveling men, under twelve years of age. Their move- ments wore splendid, and each in bis en- trance made a splendid showing. The ride was 150 yards, and the gome to secure the most rings on seven foor spears, placed equal _distances avart, in five' dashe Fred Doolittle led in_the first dash, taking three rings; Walter Dean, second, with two Bert Ruffner, John Lotridge and Koy Barnes one each, and Park Garroutto none. Walter Dean led in the second with two, tho re: one each with the exception of John Lot- ridge, swho failed to score. In the third Doolittle, Lotridge and Barpes scored one each, while Dean, Ruffner and Garroutte failed to gather a ring. In the fourth Dean and Lotridge tied on two and Doo- little and Garroutte on one each. Harnes wnd Ruffner failed. In the #ifth Doan, Doolittle and Gurroutte secured two rings, Barnes three, Lotridge oue and Ruffner none. It will be seon that Dean and Doolittle thus tiod in the five dashes, and it 100k two additional dashes between them to settle the tie, Dean winming the first prize by one ring. Doolittle was awarded the seécoud, Harues the third and Lotridge the fourth, A purse of $1 was presented to Bert Ruffacr because he was compelled 10 bandle his horse with bis right hand snd his spear witn his ieft.

The Committee Reports. . The investigating committeo has at last agreed upon a roport, but it has not yet been made public and willnot be until Monday might. But Tuz Bes man, in talking with various members of the committee, learned the following facts concerning it: The flud- dnge of the committes cover the testimony Saken (u the Dean and Cooper and Billingsly cases, in the bond transaction, and in the facts concerning the treasury record. Inre- gard to this latter the finding covers the facts of the loss of leaves from the record, some of which are still missing, calls attention to the fact that different funds have been mixed, and called upon the work i the treasurer’s office tobo done as neatly and correctly as ‘bookkeeping 18 done for individuals and com- Attention is fi‘iven to the fact that there is no cash book kept by the treasurer that 18 a record book of the oftice, and that is the property of the city. The report calls for the keeping of a record of this kind, in which all cash entries shall be made. In the matter of the accountsof W.J. Cooper, the committee report finds that Roods woere sold at an extremely high figure: finds that Mr. Cooper, as chairman of the water committee, sold goods of his own to himself and audited his own account between himself and himself, so that by the auditing he virtually paid himself. It finds that, to dodge the law, he sold the goods under an assumed name to the city, recognizing him- self that he had no right so to do. The re- port of the committec is that suit be com- menced by the city to recover the excess charges, that the testimony be turned over tothe city attornoy, and that that official pass upon the law aud the facts and act ac- cordmgly. ] The ;Klllfllliflll of the right and linbility of H. H. Dean who sold goods under the name of George W. Ford, was also referred to the city attorney. The investigation did not find that Mr. Dean had charged the city exhorbi- tant prices. A In the action of Councilman Billingsley in securing fees for looking at contracts and acting on matters in which the city was an interested party, while ot finding facts to warraut a case in court the practice in the report is consured. In the Burus-Dean mat- ter in which the testimony of the interested varties was in direct conflict, the committee find that the demand of Hortou was madc for & ten per cent fee on the contract. On this two witnesses testified that it was made. The testimony on the other side by Dean & Horton was that no demand was made. From the evidence, the com- mittee found that there was nothing to show that Dean himselt had made or authorized the demand. In the MoMurtry deal the flndlnf was that a lot was deeded to Dean by McMurtry for one-fourth its value while the adoption of MoMurtry's plat was pending in the counoii, The committee state that from the evidence and circumstancos that Dean would net have regeived the lot for the consideration of $140 had he not been & member of the coun- cil, and that it was the intention of McMur- try in deeding the lot for tho sum he aid to influence Dean in favor of his plat. As Mc- Murtry testificd that Dean made no de- mands, and Dean testified that he made no demands, the committee found wothing to show that Dean was influenced in the mat- ter. so that the city’s iterests were injured. In the bond transaction the report is a lon and conservative review of the entire testi- mony. The committee recognized that it was a legal proposition #s to which party, the city or its agents, were entitled 1w the remiums socured. The committee there- ‘ore recommended that proceedings be insti- tuted in court by tho city attorney to recover said premiums, and to this end the testimony in the case will be referred to the city at- tornoy for his consideration. The report was agreed to by the different members of the committee, except in the bond case, in which Mr. McLaughlin dissented. Mr. Dean refrained from Voling on the question, in which he was an interested party. The finaings will be presented to the council Monday evening. Lincoln Sportamen. The Lincoln sportsmen will have an outing at Cushmun park Tuesday, when they will contest for the followiug prizes: First—Ten single birds, 31 yards rise, 80 yards Lound. f Second—Ten llniw birds, 80 yards rise, 80 yreds bound, use of both barrels, Third—Six single birds und three pairs of double biras. ¥ourth—Fifteen single birds, 21 yards rise.

MASONIO INSTALLATIONS, A. O. U. W. News and Notes—U. R. K. P. Encampment--Representa- tion 1n the Grand Lodge—Offi- cers of the Forresters. Bcottish Rite Banguet. Last Monday evemng the Soottish Rite Masons had a most_enjoyable soclal occasion as the finish of the observance of St. John's day. Their new cathedrdl on Pearl street, Council Biuffs, was the sceno of the festivi- ties. The ladios and gentlemen prosent had a tempting spread in the banquet hall. After partaking thereof toasts were given, Dr. F'. S. Thomas serving as master. Among those of the order who responded were Judge Reed, A. C. Graham and Harry Haworth, C. M. Harl, one of the invited guests, re- sponded most happily to another. The ladics were by no means ignored, and their re- sponses were among tho best.

McNaughton was given the tonst “Tho Thirty-fourth Degree,” and her origi- nal and enjoyable reaponse was as follows: Illustrious men of Aucient Scottish Rite!

Its social advantages are excellent, and its tendency is to elevate, morally and intel- lectually, all who place themselves within its lumts, While it does not con- flict with the religious or political, opinions of its members, it has for its funda- mental tenets a belief in the “Supreme Being,” a love and veneration for the **Holy Bibls,” and vecommends all who come within its borders to become citizens of the country of their adoption, that they may take part 1n the frawing of wholesome laws and be known of all men as faithful support. ers of the constitutidnal authority of the land which has so aptly been termed the *‘Great Britain,”" It may be added that the order of Sons of Bt. George is doing a noble work, not only in cementing the bond of union between Englishmen and their immodiate descend- ants, but £lso in its beneficial work.
