OMAHA DAI OPENING DAY AT BEATRICE Annual Meeting of the Nebraska Associa~ tion of Trotting Horse Breeders. RECORD-BREAKING ~ YEARLINGS ~ PACGE Bella Acton Uider Trylng Events Yesterday Nebraska's Fast Beathicr, Neb, Aug. gram to Tne B The soventh annual meeting of tho Nebraska Assoctation of Trot- g Horse Breeders opensd at Linden Tree park, this oity, this afternoon unaer the most encournging auspices, ¥or the initial day tho attendanoo was even better than was anticipated, there being in the neigh- torhood of ],500 peoplo in the stands and ntong the quarter stretch, the latter being filled witn vebicles, all Lolding their full quota of enthusiastic spectators. ‘fhe weather, while a trifie too tronical for porfoct physical cowfort, was & great im- provement on that which existed for a week past, as a refreshing brecze blew all the afternoon from the north ana the heavens have been more or less obscured with threatening clouds. A Reverend Rainmnker, This condition of meteorological affairs, it 1s claimed, was due to the experiments of Rev. A'W. Connell of tho local Unitarian chureb, who clnims to b able to precipitate a rainfall within a reasonabio space of time by the injection of certain chemicals into the atmosphere, All night lnst night this hu- midity generator was at his post in the tower of the courthouse with his mqueous apparatus, shooting the gases that are sup- posed to hold tho opben sesame to the flood wates of heaven into tho etherial. Up to date but a mere sprinkle has been the result, but the firmament is still thickening with threat- ening nebulse, and it i3 & gooa prediction that a torrent will be precipitated by the rising of another sun. *At nuy rate, that is what tne hundreds of breoders here are praying for, and if it takes place they will accord the min- isterial rainmaker his full meed of praise., Militated Against Good Time, Today the track was hard, dusty and slow, ‘which militated against any remarkable per- formances by the compoting flyers, and yet some very good miles were made, considor- ing. The attendance of breeders from all parts of the state for the first day was much bet- ter than has marked any of the previous meotings of the association, showing that there has been a decided reawakening in the interost of local trotting stock und auguring greater things for the future. The officers of the ussociation are much elated this ev ing over the prospocts of the present ses- sion, Tney are all hore with the exception of President Mosher of York, and have united in & grand effort to make this & notable meeting. Vice President J. C.Kesterson of Fairbury, whois oneof tho premier hustiers of the assoctation ; E. D. Gould, treasurer, of Fullerton. anotherinval- uable colaborer and A. J. Jsriggs, the alw alort and active secrotary, together with John W. Page of this city, ave ull busy as waiters. They aro unanimous in the belief that ere many more seasons elapse Nebraska will be the head and front of all the states in the production of fino trotting and pacing slock. Somo Fast Youngsters, Nebraska boasts of tho fastest 8-year-old illy east of California, Alix, 2:161§, by Pat- ronage, dam by Tramp and owned by M. J. \ones, as secretary of this association; also the ‘fustest 2-year-old stallion in the world, that did @ stud season, Wood- «bine, 228, owned by K. D. Gould; Fullerton, also the fastest yearling in tho world at“this season of the jear; Belle Acton, yeurling, 2:2514, by Shadeland-On- Word, as_popular a sire’ as ¢ is 1 the wholé _country, dam Lottio 17, & , owned by Mr. Gould; also the fastest -year-old in the world aL this season, ana the fastast ra _record a2 years old in the world, Ou- line by Shadeland-Ooward, dam by Chester Chief, bred by K. D. Gould, avd now owned by G.

G, Ladd of this city. All of which is abundant evidence that the Nebraska Ascociatien of Trotting Horse Breeders has ample grounds for all its claims, and must be accorded a premium place in the standing of American trotting stock associutions.

Y., Aug. 0. — Today's races were favorad with fair weathor, a fast track ‘and 10,000 spectators, Tho featuroof the program was the Junior Champlon stakes, which resulted in a hollow victory for Don Alonzo, he winning the #16,440 prizo in the contest of canterers. The majority of the spactators had put their wagers on Lady Vioiot, the 13 to 7 favor- te, and the winner, who was woell backed by his stavle followors at 7 to 2, did not raceive the applause that bis performance merited. The Champinn stakes were then disposed of, and onc of ths most exciting and havdest fought battles of the year was tho result. Seven startors raced in 1 solid bunch. with Duluth cutting out tho paca at a_livoly clip at a mile and a furiong.

The first part had some of the handsomest staging ever seon in a minstrol performance, The players were all dressed in Jupanese costume, and all but the end men, who wore the traditional black face, were made up 1o face and hair for a close re- semblance to Japs, Their costumes were of satin, elaboratcly figurad, and with their rich coloring they made a beautiful and artistic effect. Abovo the performers huug several huge Japauose umbrellis inverted, their edges stuaded with varicolored incan- descent lamps. ‘Lnero was rather less of the knock aown and drag out than in the old fashioned min- strel performance and perbaps not as many novelties as in somo seasons, bul every “turn” was well dongand the. atdience was enthusiastic in its demonstrations. Of course George Primrose and Billy West are fixod favorites. and they have & couple of very clever minstrols of the old school in Billy Van aud Larry Dooley. Morris Cronia gave an Indian club exhibition that has never been surpassed in Omaba, peraaps never equaled. The monkey avd farmer uct of Jonnston, Riano and Bentloy is one of the funniest novelties sprung on the public, and Abachi and Masaud show some remarkable now turus i somersaultine, ‘Tho theater, by the way, was one of the coolest places in town.
