Hard Rap Given tho Bookmakers at Sheepshead Bay - Daily Rec ord of the American Race Track., AY BE yesterday wasn't a great day at the Douglas county fair. The pumpking and the fac stock wero all & well enough in the early part of the week, but yester- day's crowd strictly metzopolitan and went to seo the races, and it saw the best racing that ever oceurred in Omaha, It was “Omaha day" and tho purses were the pick of the week. Over 10,000 people sat in the grand stand and lined the feuces on the stretcn sides, and they were a regular racing day crowd, way, enthusinstic and just bristling with sport. The sun shone brightly, the air was bracing ana the track perfect. In the paddock was the largest turnout of well appointed equivages over brought to- gether in Omabia, and tuese for a background for the gay gowns of tho ladies made a bril- liant sight. Taking into consideration all these facts, tho well bred and fast horses and the fat purses for them to go after 1s it any wonder that the crowd was enthusiastio and enjoyed themselves 1o the top of their bent? When 3 o'clock came Starter McCrary tapped his bell for the first race, a trot for the 2:32 class for a purse of $00, Nine nhorses responded and, after scormg a few times, got away in good shape. The first heat was devoid of particular in- terest and was won by Dan, a Kansas horse in 2:34. The next three heats wore won in_order by Almont Aberdeen, a Ne- braska bay stallion. Almont Aberdeon was fat and seemed out of condition, but after he had warmed up showed his neels to the string. In the second hoat Blazewood, Chestout Wilkes and McFarland, the latte driven by 1d. Pyle, were shut out. This wus a new experience for Pyle, but his horse was not in it. Bflly Burton, Nat Brown's bay gelding, was drawn, Summary: DRR IR i e a Spra was evonts and o 1 H JOaE i l\lmnnl e Ayar's }I'i LH i ‘T'he second ovent, a pacing race for the 2:30 class with an $500 purse, was very close and exciting, and as_fine a race as a man wants to see. It was for blood from tho start, and when the bell tapped five pacers came to the wire and wore got off without trouble. Alvin Swift, a brown golding, owned by J.C, Iuager of Omaha, made the pace and seemed to tiave it ail his own way. He won the first two heats, but in the second one of tho prottiest brushes of the day was experi- enced. Coming into the home stretch Alvin had decidedly the best of it when Billy Gault, who was beautifully driven, com- menced to eat up the space between himself and Alyin and came under the wire with his nose close to the latter's wheel making n exciting finish, which won a merited round of applause. ' Billy’s stock went up in the botting ring, but in the third hoat, whea it looked as though he bad a wood chance to take 1t from the favorite, he left his foet and finished third. Iu the sccond heat Black Dick, driven by the veteran Bob Kneebs, was badly distanced and sent to his stable. Summar Alvin Swift . Billy Gault..

A large field came to tho wire and after being sent back three or four times got away m a bunch and ot mto u pockot at the first turn, the clashing sulky spokes rattling like castanets. They got separated without further accident, however, and Roxoy L took the lead, closely followed by Fieldmont, who would have won tho heat but he broke in the half, caught Koxey and broke ngain on the stretch, finish- ing a'close sccond in an exciting heat, in which Goldie Satura_was badly distanced. In the sccond heat Roxey got clear away aguieana kept a good lead all through, Tu tho next Roxoy got the lead and kept it to the three-quarter streteh, whew she broke, Ifieldmont winning the heat, Dart second and Roxey third. In the fourth heat Dart pulled up even with the favorites, went to tho front and came down the streteh neck and peck with Fieldmont, winning the heat.

A large crowd, the largest of the meoting, saw some of the best races thut have ever been seon in the west. Every heat was hotly contested and tho 2:15 puce was one of the best races seen this year. ‘Uhe starters were Guy, Telegram, Major Wouder and Northwest. Major Won- der took the first heat in 2:17. Guy, who was pressing him close, went up in the stretch and could not recover in time, Telegram took the next heat 1 2:15, Guy going off his teet again. Then Guy took the next one, closely nressed by Major Wonder. Northwest found the company too fast for hun and drawn. Guy and Telegram ot together in the next heat and around like a team all the way. At tho streteh began one of the most exciting con- tests ever seen on the track. 1t was noso and nose all the way and thoy lunded undor the wiro on a line a dead heat in 2:154. The next heat looked as though it was going to be a repeti- tion of the last one, but by magnificont driving John Dickerson managed to put tho gamo litile groy horse under the wire a short head before Telegeam in 2:1815.

Corrigan, was tho popular selection, while King Cadmus, who had opened at 20'to 1, receded to %) to | Then 1t was that Mr. Switn's commis- sioners got in their fine wovk. Every one of the uinoty-seyen hookmakers on the line was handed sums ranging [rom $75 to $200, and so 1 was the colt despised that many of the bookies whose limit is kuown to be but a $50 bet took hundreds of dollars. So well was the money put on by the almost ubiguitous com- missioners that very few people bad their suspicions aroused,and eveu these smart ones thought that Phili was “shooting at the moon,” as they expressed it. With a few jumps from tie wire, Taral, by almost superhuman riding, got the King's head in front and accordingly gov the decision, It was a close shave, and with a less superior jockey up tho result would have been different. Right after the race the sceue in the ring was all commotion, the only persons perhaps in the whole gathering 1o ptain their senses bolng “Pittsburg Phil" and bis gallant lioutenants, To them the race was no surprise, and they set about to collect their winnings in . manner that was_exceedingly cool. 1t s estimated that Mr. Smith is from £75,000 to §0,000 winner by his colt’s victor: He'backed him heagdly in the west as well 43 at the track, and g@a good prico throughout Tural got $1,000 for g5 riding. 1ojor HBhkins' Races, weaco, 1N, Sept. 8- Gartield results.

Willis Bland of Reading was chosea temporary chairman In his speech Bland suid_that never beforo did tho public so deeply feel the necessity for a change in the admiuistration of public at- fairs. ~ Never before was the fecling so strong that tho ticket put in nomination toda; would be overwhelminely elected. “The campaign,” he declared, “will bo fought on local issues, not on_national, N body doubts that the people of Pennsylvania love the teachings of their prophet, Grover Cleveland. | Tremendous applausc.] His de- foat in tue last campaign has been moro glor- ious to him than any victory would have been, for no thinking man can help feeling that the lussons tuught in the democratic Vi tories all over the country sinco his defeat aro a tribute to the grandeur of Grover Cleveland and the princioles ho so nobly rep- rescnts. |Applanse.| But we are not woing 1to national 1ssues.

The afternoon session of the convention began at 2 o'clock. Tho committes on per- manent_organization_reported in favor of George W.

The platform adoptod by the democratic state convention renews the pledges of devo- tion to the principles and platforms of 1584 and 158, Itsays: “Weare in favor of an honest and economical administration of pub- lic aftairs; of limiting expenses and reducing taxation to the most uctual necossities of tho government: of 4 sound and stable currency, based on gold and silver coined and circulat- ed in such proportions as will keep them on par; of reform and revision of the tariff; of liberal but just pension laws, and of all well considored legislation tendini to increaso the reward and lighten the buraens of labor.” Tho romaining planks condemn tho ropub- lican legislature for failing to pass apportion- ment bills: ignoring the demands of labor for reliof by law; failing to equalize taxation and abuses in the mercantile appraisement Laws, Tho republican party is also denounc for the plundering of the state treasury by Bardsley of $1,500,000. ‘T'he republican part, is held responsible for the seandal in conney tion vith the Bardsloy defalcation. Senator Quay is denounced for his “corrupt and shaneloss domination in the politics of tho state,” and the party is condemned for its servile acquiesonce in the leadership of u man who tailed to defend himselt from charges against his official conduct. The ticket nominated by the convention was: For auditor general, Robort E. Wright of Allentown; for stute_treasurer, A. L. Til- den of Erie.
