As it was, how- ever, there were several hundred in the grandstand, aud thoy apparently enjoyed the several ovents with as much gusto as if thonsands had been on hand to share in their enthusiasm. As good luck would have it, however, by the'time the flyers were summoned for the ‘free-for-all-pace a thin stratum of oclouds overspread the sky aud greatly tempered the flerce rays of Old Sol, and rendered things quite pleasant indeed. Owing to the recent rains_tho track was in poor condition, being very slow. The Seventh Ward band was on hand, and dispensed somo very inspiriting strains be- tweon heats, Tho judges and timers wore: Messrs. H. K. Burket, Henry Clay Terry and George M.

Sugarfoot second, Fleetfoot third. Shos bolted ut the draw gate, clearing the bars like & bird on the wing. The jockey was thrown, but escaped uninjured.

Th3 members don’t care 10 suy much abouv it, but they are doing o lotof talking umong themselves, and i isn’t all the wost complimentary to the board of directors elther. It is all over a notice of assessment sent out durlog the weok oy the board. - K4ch member was notitied tnat he had been assessed $10, due Auzust 1 and de- linguont August 15. The assessment, the bourd of directors say, 18 for the purpose of putting the club in sound finaucial condition, A synoptical statemapt of the club's fiuances accompunies the notice, showing that since the olub's opening the total expense, includ- ing furnshing, has been $:4,475. Of this thero has been paid $11,443. leaving the club with an indebtedness of $3,032, The cost of furnishing the club's rooms was $5,000, on which over §5,000 nas been paid. The avor- age expense of maintainiog the club house has veen §750 per mouth, 'This is what sticks in the craw of the members, Suaid oue who has been o close habitue of the gymuasium. “I can’t for the lite of me see why this assessmont has been made, and 1 don’t propose Lo pay 1t until it is made patent that 1t is necessary, To be- ®in with there s nothing in the constitution and by-luws of the club giving the voard of directors authority 1o mako any assessmont. They have no right to plunge the clab in debt beyond the extent of the regular in- ocowe. ‘Tho fact that in ten months the club has paid off §11,000 of & §14,000 indebledness is, I take i1, oconciusive proof of the club's ability to pay out fully with its natural in- come, and for this reason if for uo other an assessient Is unoecessary. *“T'he note sent out by Lhe board of direc- tors speaks of o series of expensive athlotic entertuinments to be givon during the win- ter. Isn'tit folly to talk of expensive en- tertainments in the sawe broath with a big assessment Lo 1ifta club debt] I suppose this wrestlinz mateh for which a #3550 purse is offered on Monday is to bo consigcred one of the expensive entertainments, IU's costly enough, gooduess kuows, but how absurd it is for the club divectors to offer such a purse whon it s making susssessment to keep u its running expenses, 1 think tho action o the board of directors has been extremely ill advised, aud bellove that unless some- thingin the way of rescindiog its action or wuhdnwln{ Lhe assessmont is done the dis- ruption of tho club wiil result. ‘“Ihore’s anotber poiut on which the direc- tors have clearly overstep helr powers. They sunounce thatthe initiauion fee Las boen Fafsed to 823, Tue by-laws of the clnb | fix the sam at_$10. Itis not within the provinee of the boara of direstors to alter or amend the constitution or by-laws of the club. ‘That ean only bo done by & vote of the olub membership at a regular meeting.’" This conversation is mild compared to the utterances of some of the indignant ones. Talk of ‘‘freeze-ont’ is heard from a great many who resist the actica of the board, and it is said by one little coterie of members that 1f the ussessment 1s insisted upon that the question will bo tested in the courts. There will bo a wrostliug match at th club house Monday night, and it is promised that this will also be an indigeation meeting at which the boara of directors will hear from the mombers on the subject of exces sive assessment. — - INCREASING IN VIRULENCE.

How can Lord Salisbury and his colleagues conscientiously recoucile their duty to their sovereign and their party with an 1mpotuous abandonment of power in consequence of transient action of the horde which now disfigures the character and de- grades the traditions of parliamentary posi- tion " “The miuistry,”. the article concludes, “'should not act boyond advising tho sover- eign to prorogue pariiament until the formal period of assemolage arrives.'

HosmestrAp, ’a,, July 22 ~The Pennsyl vania militia wero tonight taught their prover place. It was a stern lesson, admin- istered by Governor Pattison personally. At the governor's suggestion, a body of police officers in persons of deputy sheriffs were this evening placed throughout the boroush of Homestead to supplant the uniimited mili- tary control that had beon gradually estab- lished. The soldiers are now to aid the civil auchorities and not to be its superiors.

The deputy sheriffs installed this evening number sixteen in all, and in Sheriff McCleary's absence are directed by Chief Deputy Brady, who is authorized 10 call in the military to 'the fullest extent to preserve order and maintain the peaco. The deputies on their arrival from Pittsburg ‘were introduced to the militin officers on guard througbout the town by & major from General Snowden’s headquarters, who had been assigned the task of introauction by the provost marshal, Colonel Greene. Tho guards, both officers and men, were instructed to respect the authority of the deputy sheriff to ‘whom they were to be subordinate. The troops were givon to undsrstand that tho task of policing the town of Homestead had been relinquished into the hands of the dep- uty sheriffs and officers, the latter of whomn mado a total of sixty. Except on call of the sherift’s representatives, the militia in Home- stead are to restrict their operations to look- fug after their own members, such, for in- suance, ns apprehending absconders from ther ranks, 1f any, and enforcing an order issued tonight prohibiting the National guard from entering saloons. General Snowden Will Not Talk, General Snowden admitted tonight that he was aware of the installations of sheriff’s representatives at Goveror Pattison’s sug- gostion. The general declined to define where the respective lies of authority of the military and deputy sheriffs lay, and re- fused to discuss the.roasons for the chango in the situstion. - He denied emphatically that any difference existed between himself aund Governor Pattison.

In the camp the hostile feeling was cordially re- turned, and some of the wen evidentiy ex- pected there would be trouble in Homestead. Troops Wil Remain Indefinitely, The troops aro here for an indefinite camp, and the militia are eagerly looking for the order whioh will permit them to return home General Snowden says the wholo command w:ll be kept here until it is per- fectly evidentthat tne civil authorities can maintain law and order, and he declines to express any opinion as to when that will be, At the meeting of the advisory committes this evening it was reporsed that $180 had been receivea from sympathiziog friends.

Details of the Lagt,pireat Straggle of the Amalgamated Assoolation, “I'he great strugfle that has just begun between the Arhlgamated Association of Iron and Steel Workers and the Pittsburg comyanjes recalls the last great ngfn in Which this association was engaged, U groat iron strike of 1882, he A amated association grown out of several portant unions until it anization of 125,000 urplas reserve fund of 3750,000. It is g interesting fact that its officers, al " whom were iron workers, were equally divided between the republican und ‘democratic parties, but all were protectionists, says the New York Press. On April 15 the association hold a se- cret meeting and resolved to make a de- mand for an increase of wages, and, if this wus not agreed to by the bosses, to doclare » general strike throughout the iron and coal regions of Pennsylvania and the Ohio valley. The demand was made, and met a re- fusal short and emphatic. Then began the preparations for the struggle. The executive committee, led by President Johao Jarreut of the assoclution, visited every city where the men were em- plo{ed. tested their spirit, learned their wishes, and found the men ready and eager for the struggle. he munulacturers knew well the had graduall small and unin grew into an members, having awful cost of such a fight and made every effort to compromise, but without avail. Conference after conference was held between the manufacturersand the com« mittee, but the latter were too confident of suceess 1n the coming fight to abate one iota of their demand for the higher wages, This the manufacturers covld not or would not agree to, and the ¢ came on May 31, whon the old contracts oxpired and the men refused to renew them. Without an_oxcoption, the iron and stoel workers of overy department left their work, and the great foundries nd mills ware closed. The quiet around Pittshurg becime remarkable. A thousand mill chimneys, which had belched smoke and fire night and day for six yeurs, beeame smokel oss and cold. But Pittsburg saw little of the fighting side of the strike. The men had learaed the bitter lesson fore that riot and blood and conflagr: tion could hold sway but for a fow hours at the utmost, and so in that locality the frequent threats of riot were uafulfilled. Through the fong and dreacy months of June, July and August the men watched the days go by with constantly . dimin- ishing hopes of success.

Enrly in June a careful estimate of the number of the men idle placed the figure at 130,000, Notone of these men did any work during the time the strike lasted, and their families, numboring probably 650,000 souls, had to suffer until the fight could be kept up no longer. On June 17 came the grent parade in Pittsburg of the strikers. Over 20,000 of them were in line and the greatest onthusinsm prevailed.. For a few days it cheered the hearts of all, but,enthusi- asm_ subsiding, quiet was' followed by despondency again. The interest then centered at Cleveland, O., where the Cleveland rolling mill, the largest iron ncern in the country, employed over 000 men. Just prior to the strikey there had been great prosperily in the iron trade, and the men at Cleveland hua had their wages raised three times, twice,with ah increase of 10 per cent and once of 7} per cent. kg SMITH3S WILL BUILD IT. A Nebraska Genlus Proposes to Honor the Famlly Name, Various designs, some of them artis- tic, but most of them otherwise, have been roceived by the directors of the Chicago World’s fair fora triumphal arch over the grand entrande to Jack- son park. They came from every sec- tion of the country. The triumphal arch haus beon a fertile themo for en- thusiasts for more thana year. The most extravagant designs imaginable have been sent in. Most of them were architectural nighvmar and did not receive even a passing notice. One dis- ordered intellect evolved a gn to be reared in granite, each of the big blocks of which should show the outlines of one of the states. At tho top Uncle Sam wus standing, twirling a liberty cap 1n one hand and holding an eagle in the othe Last week « remarkable offer was re- ceived from & mun in Nebraska in re- gard to the triumphal arch. He wrote from Auburn, and proposed that the Smith family of America should raiso $150,000 with which to build the arch or a tall monument, no difference whi O. P. Smith, for he is the man who made the offer on behalf of the Smith househuld, believes that the fair will be a failure if it fails to commemorate in granite and bronze the deeds of Captain John Smith of historic memory. Mr, Smith has nodoubt that the money would be raised by the Smiths. Ho is so confident that he asks whether the triumphal arch or monument would be accepted if the Smiths come to Chicago with the $150,000. O. P. Smith would make the arch a lasting monument to the Smith family, and to it alone. He vroposes that the original design shall be prepated by an artist by the name of Smith, that the granite blocks shall be tuken from the quarry of some Smith by quarrymen named Smith. He would have these blocks hauled to the exposition Smiths, hoisted in place by masons named Smith, and then, when the last stone was raised to its place, he would have the triumph of the Smiths apy printely dedicated by the Smith fam oras many as could get inside of Jack- son park. ; It would not be a plain and uninter- esting testimonial to the greatness and the vigor of the Sinith family—this arch that spanned the main entrance 1o the c fair. O. P. Smith would make it a rare work of art, Ho would decorate its front with fine sculptures—done by Smiths—in which the sculptors would sing the glory of Captain John Smith’s carcer. In bas reliefs his romautic teeds would be thrust before the eyes of sll who passed the gates. Perhapsa ow men named Smith would stand there do take tickets from those who cime to aee the triumphal Smith arch and the fair. O. P. Smith of Auburn, Neb.,, huas great confidence in the patriotism and enerosity of his family. He believes that one eloquent appeal would bring the $150,000. O, P. Smith does not inti- mate how much heintends to ask each member to contribute, but it would be a small sum, perhaps less than u dime, He has probably seen the last edition of the Chicago city directory, which shows nineteen solid = pages, more than 200 names to the pnge, of plain Smiths, He may have seen another page of Smidts, and the five or more pages of Schmidts, and the page of Schmitts, and several hundred Schmiwz before he made the rash offer to raise $150,000 for the Smith triumphals arch. On the ordinary basis of computation, O. P. Smith could safely count on the assistance of nearly 20,000 Smiths in Chicago alone, not to mention other sections of the country equally fertile in Smiths, *“A very small contribution from each member of the household would raise the money,” said one of the directors yesterday. "It would enable O, P. Smith to raise an arch that would be the envy of the Browns.’ **Would Mr. Schmidttsckmitt be eligi- ble to a contribution toward the arch,do you think?” *Oh, yes; he could make a double con- tribution,” One enormous obstacle looms before the Smith triumphal arch, It is the fact that there will be no grand entrance to Jackson park. O. P Smith may possivly gotspace for a family monument, but ho ‘cannot build a triumphal arch, The directors don’t want one, even if they can get a $150,000 one free. gy THOUGHT HE WAS LOADED, A Kentuckisn's Experience ut o Fan- tomime, General Horace Porter 1s too good a soldier not to enjoy & good time. One of his chief amusements used to be the initiating of the uninitiated. In hislarge circle of country cousing and country ac- quaintunces be found abundunt oppor- tunity to gratify this tuste. They were forever lighting down upon him and with allthe zest of their rustic natures wanted to be shown the elephant, One day a lanky acquaintance from the hog- mountains in Kentucky was beginning to look more and more bewil- dered as the show progressed. An_ exprossion of amazement, of doubt and then of despair came over his gaunt features as the artists vortrayed in telling action the story of wivilization. Then he rose from his sent and started for the nisle. The gon- oral pulled him back. “Hore, whoro are you going?” asked in a whisper. “I'm goin’ home.” “What for?” : “Bed’s my place.
