O THE BYKERS AND SOLDIERS | Battle for Supremacy Upon the Polo Floor. AFINE VICTORY FOR THE FORMER. A Liarge Orowd Make the Collsenm Resound With Thelr Applause— Aninteresting Struggle — Next Game Next Satarday Night, The polo game between the Omaka Guards and the Omaha Wheel club teams at the Col- 1seum last evening attracted tho largest crowd of theseason. iach team’s fricnds were out in fore, and they kept the building rosonaut with theirshouts of ehcout agement. The followers of the wheel club, however, hiad the best of it, for thoir favorites took o less than efght out of the ten goals scored, and as a matter of course their jubilance was oxcessive. ‘Tho game was one of the best that has been played so far, notwithstanding the poor showing of the military cohort and the wheel club substan proved that they are ono of the best fives in the league, young Morris and Rhodes being desorying of espec- fal mention, Roberts, t0o, was in good form and did some excellent work, whilo Eponet. ter. the goal tend, was never found wanting, Of the guards’ Hurry McCormick carried off the paim o majority, skating like & professi doiug some clever strategic work 10 nursing and ing the ball. Cawpbell came next in point of merit but Foge, the goal tend, cut w sorry figure, until the ' latter part of the second inning, when lie played with much better judgment and skill. 5 The two teams made a picturesque spec- taclo in their showy uniforms, the Guards in yellow wammuses and bluo tights and the Bykors in sablo jorsey suits, Their positions were as follows : The Guards—Mc:ormick, first rushy Campbell, second; Lathrop, center; John- sou, half-back, and Foge, goil tend. Wheel- men—Rhodes, first rush; Roberts, second; Morse, centers Bacon, half-back, and Epen= - etter, goul tend. W.'E. Rockwell officiated as referee, and promptly at 8:30 sounded his whistle for e first onslau ht. McCormick was tho first to reach the ball and Ly a deft side stroke sent it rolling against the west wall, where Campbell caught it and arove it down in dangerous proximity to the Bykers caze. Epnetter was there,however,and with a kick sent the bull across'the aauger line. Here Rhodes secured it and ran with 1t the full length of the hall,when hio passed it to Morris, who sent it like a shot into the soldier's cage. Timi 30. The second and {hird goals were ulso made by the wheelmen, Morris securing the see- ond und Roberts the third. - Time—1:20 aud 110, The fourth goal was won by the Guards, MeCormick executing a nice piece of work ine i nursing the bull and cleverly passing it to Campbell, who made the winning stroke, Time—1:00. The wheelmen made tho fitth goal iu 4:80, and the balance of the juning resulted in no additional scorings. In the second inning the wheelmen started off with a goal in 1:00, then the guards were awarded one on a foul committed by Epi- netter, in knocking the ball off the cage with his hand. ~ After this there were three moro goals made, and all by the wheelmen. in 1:00, 8100 and 1:10 respec In the seventeen minutes that remuined of this inning neither side could add to their scorc, and thus the contest ended in @ clean ‘victory for the doughty wheelmen, T'he score Wheelmen, Guards, The next game will be piayed Saturda; night between the Rumolers aud the Conncil Bluffs teams. mons Jockey Club Dies, kK, Dec. 10.—[Special Telegram to cased to exist as a race track.

Smith appeared for the defendants, while W. S. Felker and Judge Sears prosecutoed, ‘The prosecution introduced a dozen wit- nesses, but the defense did not swear one, ‘The prosecution showed that the police had visited the houses of prostitution and armed with a search warrant, carried away the liq- uors, That was all, While Felker was attempting to decipher the name of a witness on the subpoena list named Jettio Reynolds, George Smith co ected him by stating that the name wi “Jettie.” not Jennie, and continued by ask- ing **Dou’t you know heri” IPelkker looked down over his gold rimmed lasses and replied marcastically: “Noj I lv-m;: ‘l'lwcllufl with Chief Seavy long ugh.,’ Whilé Attorney Mahony was reading some law from the Iowa state code, Denais Lane ‘Who was in the room, spoke up and said- “that's stuff from a probibition state.” Den nis nad on his hot, overcost and his “Jugr” Mr. Mahony askea that Dennis either be fiued for contewpt or put out of the roow.

Nason, secretary of the board of trade, and one of & joint commitiee sent by the board of trede and real cstate exchunges to the citics of Lynn aud Boston, Mass., has returned, The object of the committee's visit was to endeavor to secure for Omaha some of the manufacturing estavlishments which had been destroyed by fire, and, in accord- auce with this idea, the committee calied on &il the heads of the various houses in both Lyon aud Hoston sad mado overtures to their business to Omaha in- stead of revullding where they were before. In in it was found thay all of the houses whioch brd from the fire were ea- in the shoe business, aud thoy were so ntimately connected, one with another, as to form ope immense manufacturing establish- wment—some of the houses making shos up- rs, otbers the sole, snother the heel, one bultons, aud 5o o, 10 06 hOUSS WK &0 entire shoe—consequently nothing wo be gained by locating in auotner place. The work of the committee in T,ynn was not pro- ductive of immediate resuits, but the ocom- mittes feel that their efforts’ may get bear fruit, and a large amount of advert{sing mat- ter, setting forth the advantages of Omaha, was judiciously distributed. In Boston the committeomen are more hopeful of success, although they wero not able to secure any Positive promises from tho manufactnrers, as they had not time to straighten out their affairs and could not say what they would do. In Boston, as in Lyan, the committee left a littleleaven in the shape of advertising mattor, and expect to receive considerable correspondence from tne manu- facturers there in o short time. Mr. Nason was the only one of the com- mitteo who had returned yostarday, and the others may bring later ceports of success when they return. pulni ALLIANCE RESOLUTIONS, Protest Against a Postmaster by the Antelope County Farmers.

Dorsoy, has recom- mended for appointment to the. responsible position of postmaster of Neligh Judson Giraves, the presont editor and propriotor of the Neligh Advocate; therefore, Rosolved. 1. That we view such appoint- ment with aistrust and alarm, from the faot that said newspaper 18 an nacknowledged enemy of this organization, us demonstrated by its editorial course during the past year. 2.

That while we have the kindest regards for our present representative, we cannot guarantee our continued support or influence if such appointment 1s made against our well-founded objections. 4. That certitied copies of these resolutions bo sent to our representative and senators in congress, and 10 Tur OMAnA Bee. which we look upon as a friend of united labor. 5.
