GREAT THRONG WATCHES THE RACE P.'s and Stockbrokers Join the Crowd und Let Their Business Slide—Charade Wine the Metropolitan at Morrls Park—Othor Races, Toxnox, May 81.—This is Derby day, the greatest day in the yearly annalsof the British sporting world, when every Lon doner and resident of the provinces who can possibiy do so makes his way to Epsom Downs, there to witness the always exciting race for the Derby stakes. The aay dawned dull, with occasional sunbursts, At times it was threatening, but on the whole the weather was fine The usual immense crowds were present at the course and the familiar sconos of bustiing, hustling, good- natured crowds reaching the Downs were enacted. In spite of the refusal of the House of Commons to adjourn over, some members could not resist the vemptation to witness the race, and, throwing business aside, hied themselves to the Downs. n some quarters of the city ivappeared as though it wasa hotiday, nearly everybody having gone to see the race. Even busimess in the Stock exchinge was materiully affected by the ab- sence of members, who for the once put away their bull and bear proclivities and, going to Epsom, made ventures moro or less successful on horses instead of stocks and bonds. The race was well contested and the favorite won. itlons, Starters and Botting. derby of 6,000 sovereigns: the winner o receive 5,000 sovereigns, the nominator of the winner 500 s 5, the owner of the second 300 sovers I’ the ownel third 201 sovereizns, out of the year-old colts, nine stone Mone, ninety pound: the only Hability, if ds in January, 15¢ 1ot so doc s turthor sum of nd forty-seven 5 sovercign: ted on payme: 0.3 ass; Mr. 1 Ly +duke of Portland's b T.

In fact, the weatner was so unusually fine that by noon large crowds had alveady veached the grounds. The turnout of wowen was re- murkably large. Ou the balcony in frout of the elub house at least fifty luncheon parties were under way at half-past 12, while later i the day the grand stand was filled with thousands of lovely ladies. By 2 o'clock more thum 15,000 persons had passed the turostiles, but people were still coming and they continued to tome until 4 o'clock, the tume set for the ctropolitan havdicap, which is re- as second only in im- portance to the Brooklyn haudicap and the Suburban. Carriages and coaching parties there were in plenty, and they com- pletely filled that portion of the grounds set apart for them. There were 25,000 people present when the bell tapped for the hanai- he Pepper, one of Marcus Daly's repre- sen! tives iu the race, and Pierve Lorillard's La Tosca were quickly installed the choices, but so neavy was the play on nearly every horse in the race that 4 to 1 against eould Mlways be obtained.

The order remained unchanged to where the ascent of the hill heging, where St. Florian, Charade, His Highness and others began ‘moving up_and more or less crowding. Suddenly one of the horses in the van, Arturo, was seen to fall und the horses in the rear apparently gal- loped over tho horse and rider, causing tho pectators to ery i horror. When attention was again rivoted to the races, it was seen that Pieknicker was still in front, sotting a 1 pace up the bill with St. Florian, His Hizhness and Charade his attendants in the order named.

HOME INDUSTRIES PRINCIPLE APPROVED Torrey Bankraptey Law Also nn‘d. Favor ~Censure for the Wholesaler Who Re- talls — Rosolutions Adopted — Re- cleved by the Commercial Club, The olection of officers was the first thing that occupied the attention of the State Business Men's association in convention as- sembled yesterday morning, but it did not take long to settle it, as a motion instructing the secretary to cast the full vote of the associa- tion for the old oficers carried unanimously. The officers who were thus elected to suce coed themselves for another year wero: L. D. Davidson, Omaha, gencral president. 0. J. King, Lincoln, first vico president. H. J. Lee, Premont, second vice president. S, 8. English, Eagle, third vice presidens. R. . Hodgin, Omaha, general secretary. F. I More, Kearney, first assistant sec- retary. S. H. Colvin, secretary, C. I\ Iddings, North Platte, third assistant secrotary. The greater part of the time of the morn- ing session of the last day of the convention was taken up 1n discussing what should be done with reference to the collection law, and the prevailing opinion seemed to be that the law as it now exists should be amended at the next session of the legislature. It was admitted that thus far the efforts of the association in the way of lobbying had not been attended with the most brilliant suc- , but it was asserted that this was use the work had been left entirely to wislative committee and ignored by the body as a whole, while it should have been attended to personally by ecach member through the ropresentatives and senators from his district. It was agreed that this mistake should not be mad n. Talked of Home Patronage. Before proceeding with the regular pro- gram for the session W. A. Page, president of the Manufacturers and Consumers ation, was introduced to speak on Patronage.” He said he had been devoting the greater part of his time for several weeks to the exposition that was devoted to the public advo of this idea. He called attention to the fact that the majority of the business men of the state showed piainly that in one particular, at least, they were going outside the state’ to have work dono that could just as well be done at home, and that was in the use of foreign printed bank checks and drafts. He said he close attention to this for the past y had noticed that drafts that his fiem ceived from all over the state were printed i Louis, Milwaukee, Kansas City or He thought this was wrong, as there were houses in this state that could do the work as well as it could be doue any where. 1t was most fitting that the local ting and newspaper oftices should re- © this patronage, as they were all the time assisting the business men, and he be- ieved that the whole trouble was that the ad not thought of what was really at stake and what home patronage meant. The speaker related a number of incidents to show that the consistent prac- tice of the principles advocated by the asso- ciation, of which he was president, would result in mutual benefit to every business man m the state, and called attention to what the effect would be on a dealer in a certain line tohavea man talk home patron- age to him while wearing apparel, in which his guditor was dealing, that was bought McCool, second assistant autside the state. Delegates Approve the Principle. Mr. H. J. Lee of Fremont said that the as- sociation wanted the manufacturers of the state on their side, and he was glad that the matter had been brought un. He thought that the principal trouble had been that Ne- braska made goods had not been brought to the attention of the merchants as they should have been. After the meeting of the assoclation a year ago there was complaint from Grand Island because factorios there had received no notice, but it was the fault of the delegates from that place, who had not mentionea anything about’ them or brought them to the attention of the mem- bers. He wanted to see the manufacturers and retailers get together and come to a bet- educate his trade along the home patronage idea, and was pleased with the result. Ho wanted to call attention to the fact that his town was turning out as good creamery but- ter as could be gotten anywhere, and also manufactured starch, oat meal and numer- ous other articles that he was pushing. Mr. King of Lincoln was glad to note that M. Page was noticing all the Jittle points, but he wanted it understood that in his city the checks weve furnished by the banks, and the dealers did not have them printed for their own use. He suggested that the way to reach it was by calling the matter to the attention of the bankers on the occasion of their next convention and ask them to cor- rect it and have the printing done in Ne- brasku. Wholesalers Dolug Retuil Trade, Mr, Burks of Lincoln said that there was trouble in some places bocause some of the wholesalers did a rotail business in the same places. He thought it unfair for a whole. saler to come into a town where he was sell- ing to a retailer, and supply the hotels, restaurants, or laundrics at tho same price as the same goods were sold to the retailer, He wanted cach classto respect the rights of each other class. Mr. Page said that the little talk that had alr been had with the Omaha bankers had resulted in leaving off outside imprints on cheeks. but it had been ascortained that the printing was still being done outside the name of the printer being left of by re quest. This showed that the bankers would accede to the demands made, but not yet in the way desired. Mr. Hodgin said that this would be at- tended to, and the bunks would be required to have the vame of a Nebraska printing house on the checks. Mr. Ridgeway of Grand Island pleaded guilty to not being an orator, and said that the talking business men of his city had been unabic to zet away. He spoke of several of the factories there, and said he did nos know why they were not represented at the ex- position. He proposed to inquire into it s 18 he got home, The report of the railway committee was lled for, and Mr. Hodgin sa that n- eral Manager Holdrege of the B. & M. had been waited on. He was surprised to learn that the depots were being used by peddlers as distrivuting points, and had promised that if the other roads would do the sawe, he would issue an order prohibiting it. The aunouncement was greeted with applause, and the report was accepted and the com- mittee discharged. For Hetter Collection Laws, Mr. English of Eagle offored a resolution looking to better collection laws. Mr. Hammond of North Platte offered a substitute resolution, stating that there was no need of any collection law with the new rating book of the association. He said that the association had met with poor suc- 53 in the way of securing desived legisla- ton, as the labor organizatious wers too strong, und offorts in that direction had only tended to antagonize the labor element. He thought it better to go on the new plan and give no credit except to parties who were certainly good. Mr. King of Liucoln favored the substi- tute, Mr. Wilcox of McCook said that there ought to be a remedy for the collection of accounts now on the books. He did not be- liove the members would lose anything by standing up for their rights and ueukimxw tor legal protection ugainst dead beats. Mr. Hostetter of Shelton spoke in favor of 8 good, reasonable coliection law, and wanted the assoclation, when it went after it, to go after it in earncst. If they did that they would f“" it. Mr. Rawlings of Wakefleld said that the | rating book was all right to help from mak- | ing bad debts, but there uu’hl to be a col- | lection law to afford relief after they were | contracted. He was coufldent of it because Le was a democrat, and knew what it was to l be out in the cold, aud therefors realized that thay could got thara f they only waited | long enough. r. Clarke of North Platte $hought th rating book would work out their salvation in due time, as the c¢ustomers who were in arrears would bo clsmoring for a law that would protect the merchant in giving them greater credit if they were refusod such credit according to the book under existing aw. | Rating Book & Nulsance. B. W. Johnson of Atkinson made a rat- tling speech in favor of a - better collection law. He said that according to his bolief the rating book was apuisance and a fraud, and that it would not afford the relief that was desired. A man mignt be all right now and have a good rating, but six months from now he might be all ‘wrong. and the book would be of no assistance )7u collecting an account that might have been incurred in the meantime: neither would it avail in col- lecting a bill from a man who could pay but wouldn't. He didn’t take any stock in the talk about a more stringent collection law koeping eastern capital out of the state, and for his part wanted to see a law that would put a premium on honesty rather than on dishonesty. Mr. Bishop of Lincoln defended the rating book. but favored a better law. He said the present one tended to make mon dishonest, and he was in favor of legislating the other way. The way it was now, the more a man could beat a creditor out of the better fellow he was, and he wanted to see it so that when a man willfully refused and neglocted to puy his bills he could be shown up to the com- munity in his true light. The sentiment of the delezates was to the effect that the matter was of too much im- portance to be settled so long before the next session of the legislature, and the sub- stitute was defeated, after which the orig- inal resolution was tabled, to await action at the next convention. Mr. Rawlings was appointed chairman of the legislative committee, The committee on the Torrey bankrupt law, consisting of Vessrs, Bishop of Lin- coln, Lee of Fremont and Netzel of Stroms- burg, submitted a report endorsing the bill, recommending its passage and calling upon Nobraska senators and representatives in congress to work and vote for it. The ro- port was adopted, and a recess was taken until 2 o'ciock. Virtues ot Involoing. At the afternoon session a paperon ‘‘In- voicing—TIts Benefits and Necessity to Retail Merchants,” was read by Mr. John Hussie of Omaha. He held that’in no one way was 4 business man's ability and enterprise shown, and by noone thing was he better fitted for the next year's business than in the taking of the annual inventory. Itis necessary in order to compare one year's business with another, and to ascertain the merits of different classes ot goods. 1t pro- vides a basis for satisfactory settloment with the insurance companies in case of fire, and also assists in securing a favorable rating with the mercantile agencies, which is not only desirable, but absolutely essential 1n successful buying. It insures the cloan- ing of the shelves and the dusting of goods, and discovers goods that have been lost or gotten out of place. It discloses what bid fair to become shop-worn goods, and leads to a prompt disposition of them, which averts the tying up of o considerable sum of money where it would be unproductive. The vaper was applauded, and the ideas advanced were carnestly endorsod b, Messrs. King and Burks of Lincoln, G. of Omaha, S. S. 1nglish of Eagle, Loomis of Omahs, “Henderson of Osceola, Rawlings of Wakefleld, and Lee of Fremont, Benefits of Ofganization. Mr. Hostetter of Shelton, called on to give his views on “‘State Organizations and Their Value,” said that it wasof the utmost im- portance that the meetings of the branehes be regularly attended and that interest be maintained in ovder_that the state organiz- ton be kept alive. He pointed to the report of the committee on ‘railroads as showing what the state organization could accom- plish, and said that it was simply a caso Wwhere there was strength in union even if there was none as individuals. The good results to be expected from stato organization were testified ' to by a number of the members. i A telegram was then-read from a number of the business men ot Curtis. Neb., protest- ing against the placing on sale thero by a St. Joseph wholesale firm of a stock of goods t ken under a chattel mortgage, and request- ing the convention to take some action toward securing its removal or selling it to the local merchants. It was decided to send a letter to the firm setting forth the situ- ation, and asking that the local merchants be given fair treatment 1 the matter. The following committees were appointed: On State Trade—J. C. Dort, Burchard; E J. Pease, Hastings; W. E. Babcock, Cam- bridge; H. A.Scott, Osceola; J. C. Bowen, Broken Bow. On State Legislation—Thomas Rawlings, Walkefield; J. S. Bishop, Lincoln: Georygo schweser, David City; M. A. Hostetter, Shelton; Ed G. Yates, Lincoln. Lincoln asked that the next convention of the association be held in the capital city and the advisory commitiee was instructed to consider the invitation in agreeing upon the place.

COMMERCIAL CLUB RECEPTION, Nebraska Business Men Entertained Royally At the Chamber of Commerce, The Commercial club extended a cordial reception to the delegates to the Stato Busi ness Men's association at the Chamber of Commerce last evening. It wasa highly successful affair in every respoct. The rooms were artisticaliy drapod with bunting, flags and a floral profusion of hyderangeas. Major Domo Pryor and his assistants served punch, cigars and refresh- ments to the guests in a puuctilions manner. The Seventh Wara military band of twenty- one pieces gavo a musicat foast. In behalf of the Commercial club W. A. L. Gibbon made the following address of woel- come: *‘The present occasion marks an era in the progress of the mercantile social life of Omaha and Nebraska, We meet here to- night associates and friends with a view of building up a social comity betweon tho busi- ness men of our stato and the merchants of tho metropolis. The aim of the commercial club as its name signifies, i3 to blend social features with our business cares. In these fraternal minglings upon a plane of mutual converso it is reasonable to hope for benefits, not only from the social order, but from the lights and shadows of the past wo may ex- change ideas gathered from experience that will guide and strengthen our future foot- steps. ‘‘We need the strengthening influence of some council like this. In the building up of such an organization as the Commercial club there is strength alike safo to the in- dividual, the corporation and the state, A groat metropolis within the state is a tower of developing the natural resources of that state, not only as a market and distributing center, but through its great financial in- stitutions, banks, insurance and trust com- panies the sinews of war are furnished to turn the wh of commerce without de- pending upon Boston, Hartford or Wall street, “‘Our interests, gentlemen of Nebraska, are identical with yours. We vote for the s: state officials, our business re! like, our social moctings should be based upon o common friendship. A crowd is not com- pany, faces are buta picture gallery, and talk is but a tinkling eymboal, when there is not friendship. Omaha has passed the ex- perimental stage as a wholesale market. We welcome you not only as customers but we extend to you the right hand of fellowship and ask you to be associate members of our Commercial club,” J. S. Bishop of Lincoln responded in a happy speech, m which he voiced the deep appreciation of Omaha hospitality. Im- promptu_speeches were made by Fdward Yates of Lincoln, J. S. Knox, Thomas Kil- patrick, Dan Farrell and Judge Clarkson of Omaha and H. J. Lee of Fremont. The en- Joyuble affair terminated at midunight, NATIONAL LEAGUE GAMES.

EXHIBITION People Orowding to the Coliseum as Olosing Time Draws Near, BEST OF THE CITIZENRY INTERCSTED Fine Exhibit of the Omaha Milllag Com- piny's Relianco Flour—Product of the Crote Milla Finds Favor—Gil- man's Powdered Coreal, Tho rain yesterday kept a good many peo- pleaway from the exposition, but in the evening the clouds rolled away and the peo- ple came out in full forco, filling the CoMseum building comfortably full. The exhibits were at their best, tho machinery all fn op- eration and the whols exposition in the best condition possible to interest the public. The crowds moved back and fortl among the exhibits and if tho romarks of the people wers to bo taken as indicating their thoughts they were cer- tainly well satisfied with what they saw. good many promiment citizens were noticed among tho visitors and the crowd was mado up very largely of the best people of Omaha. Iix-Governor Saunders and Mrs. Russoll Harrison wore among the most ob- servant visitors, giving close attention to every exhibit. This evening a large attendance of grocery clerks is anticipated, and all manufacturers will be expected to be present and expiain to them the adyantages of patronizing home industries. The following firms have pur- chased a thousand tickets which thoy will distribute among the grocery elorks handling theirgoods: German Chicory company of O'Neill; C. C. White of Crate; American Biscuit Manufucvuring company of Omaha ; Omaha Milling company, Gedney Pickle company, S. F. Gilman, Consolidated Coffee company, Farrell & Co., W. A. Page Soap company. The Morse-Cos Shoo company have bought 200 tickets for the boot and shoo clerks. Quite a good many are asking if the expo- sition will be in good shupe on Saturday night. Ail questions of this kind are being answered in tho afirmative. Ihe exposi- tion will remain open ot Saturday night and no one will be allowed to take any exbibit outof the building until after the hour for closing on Saturday night. "Tho pupils of the High school and of the Central Park school will be admitted to the xposition today. Homoe Tndustry Flour, Money is scarce in Omaha, why make 1t anymore so by sending the mone; to Minneapolis for flour, when by purchaging the Omaha Milling company’s Keliance flour you will be getting the best” and at the same time aid in building up home industries. Tho Reliance brand is (becoming very popular by reason of its ‘excellence and the peoplo of Omaha are showing by a liberal patronage their appreciation of a'good ti ) the past week 191,000 pound flour was sotd for deliv A very interest- ing exhibit of the Reliance flour may be seen at the exposition where it is attracting a good deal of attention People who h: never used this flour ure given an opportunity to test its good qualities by sampling biscuits made from 1t in the Omaha Milling company’s booth. Creto Roller Atills, Nebraska flour is well represented at the exposition, and tho Crete*Roller Mills are represented In a manner that shows a com- mendable enterprise. * Iixact reproductions of the " and “B” mills in miniture nave been crected, and even to the painting they resemble the originals. These Crete milis aro run by water power, and their combined capacity is 600 buarrels of flour daily. The splendid reputation which the output of these mills enjoys throughout the stato is due to the watchful cave which the proprie- tor, C. C. White, uses in conducting the mills. He recognizes that *patronize home industry” is an effective slogan only when it is backed up with an article which will eaual anything offered in the same market, Mr. White was the first miller jn the state, and one of the first in this country, to adopt the new boiting device known as tho *plan- sifter” method. It is a Hungarian invention and now all the firsi-class mills arc adopt- ing it The Crete Roller Mills flour is used very extensively in this city, where its excellence is well known. The “Victor” brand is the loader, and it has no superior in any flour placed upon the Nebraska market, Gilman's Flour and Flowers. It is a rather difiicult matter to arrange a very attractive showing of ordinary flour sac but Charles k. Block, manager for S. 1% man, has succoeded in embellishing his exhibit in the exposition in a way that attracts attention. Flowers, plants and vines are arranged around and among the ks in a manner which lends an air of freshness and charm to an otherwise dry subject. Two large paintings, one of the mill at Pierce and theother of the Valentine mill, grace either side of the booth and add their share to the embellishment of the dis- play. The capacity of theso two mills is about 400 barrels daily, the product being exclusively hard wheat flour. In this city the S. K. Gilman flour is very well known and extensively used, the Gold Medal brand being the leader. For a number of years these mills have had lurge ware rooms at 1015and 1017 North Sixteenth street, m where the greater part of their flour is placed upon the market. ———— PERSONAL GRrAPRS, g, of Green of At Dr. K.
