2 ONTONIAN AND BELLE, ACTO King and Queen of the Nebraska Turf will Go This Afternoon. RARE EVENT IN OMAHA TRACK HISTORY Flyers Whoss Reputations Are Continent- Wide Wil Contest with Others Who ©an Make n Great Raco—Attrac- tions of Today's Card. ITTLE doubt ex ists that with good weather this after- noon Omaha will be treated to one of the greatest racing P cards that has ever been hor good for- tune to witness, The same events were to have con- stituted yesterday afternoon’s pro- i gram, but were postponed until this afternoon on account of the threatening condition of the weather. It is to bo ardently hopod that everything will bo auspicious, in which case some rare sport indeed will bo forthcoming, as the Broeders association is determined to give the public something that will preclude tho possibility of dissatisfaction or complaint. In the fust place Belle Acton, who was the champion yearling of 1502, will make her first public appearance as n 2-year-old and will no doubl acquire the championship honor 1 r-olds overa half mile track. If she does Mr. Gould will be $1.000 richer, as the management will hang up this ppurse. She is big, strong and very fast, and the people of Omaha and the surrounding country will be given tha bone- it of the queen’s debut upon the turf for 1893, Not only this, but tho 4-year-old champion, Ontonian, fresh from his~ victory over the cracks of the east, will give an_exhibition of his matchloss speed and race horse qualities. Last week, at Buffalo, Ontonian won his Tace in straight heats, beating the best in his class in hollow style, This afternoon he will have for competitors the great Nebraska bred horse, Smith, 2:1515 ; the Omaha horse Prince T, who paced a milo in 2:13: Cebron, 9:1614, and other fast ones, who may force the 4-yoar-old king to take a new record. Omaha's great 3-year-old, ‘The Conqueror, 2:17, which record, made in o hot race two tweeks ago, was the fastest ever made by u year-old %o carly in the season, and was the fastest at that time for a ar-old for 1803, will startin the 2:24 trot. The Con- queror is owned by W. A. Paxton, jr., and is oue of the mast magnificent and ‘most valu- able, if not without cqual, among the horses of the west. These rare stars of the turf, while worth a trip of thousands of miles 10 see, are not the only attractions, for thero will bo four regular events, each of which promise to be fighting raccs fron wire to wirg The best of music will be 0a hand in the Preseuco of the Military baad, and as the card is the very best ever presented to Omaha and the admission but 50 cents, a vast crowd should be in attendance to ticipate in_the high-class sport. The first eveut will be called promptly at 2:30 olclnck. The officers of the Stato Breeders associa- tion have worked hard and _conscientiously in the interests of this meeting, and it is ob- ligatory upon the citizens of (mmh_n to see that they have a rousing attestation to the city's appreciation of their efforts for one dny at Joast. ‘There would have been a largo attendance yesterday without a doubt, as the superintive attractiveness of the pro- gram was about the ono themo of conversa- tion, and it is quite probable tha the neces sary postponement has in nowise diminished the general enthusiasm and interest. Lot everybody who can improve the opportunity of witnessing a series of speed trials never !equalled here bofore. The Breeders asso- cintion is " deserving of the futlest recogni- tion, and business men should combine in an endeavor to give it to them today and to- morrow. RACIN " Buffalo’s Last Day Brings Out Some Very Good Rnces, Burraro, Aug. 10.—Seventeen heats were trotted and paced this afternoon, furnishing the best raciug of the nine days and success- fully bringing to a close the most notable Grand Circuit meeting ever held in this city. Flying Jib, with Geers up, was considered a good thing for the consolation free-for-all pace, but the erratic gelding began his monkoy shincs after winning two hoeats. Major Wonder came on and got” two heats, and also aaded the necessary third one to the other two. The Village farm's Nightin- gale was booked to win the consolation frec- for-all trot, and finally did, but it took seven heats. Alvin led the procession for two heats in tho 2:12 trot, but the speedy Harrietta showed her heels to the others in the next three heats.

Hopka was in the box for the nome team and pitched a brilliant game, striking out_fourteen men to Moore's six. Betting was heavily in favor of the visitors up to the fifth inning, when the home team rallied, making six scores by heavy batting, finding Moore it every turn At the end of the eighth the betting was reversed to 25 to 5. Tne Red Clouders went home wiser and poorer. The home team won by a score of 10 to 2. SUCCESS ASSURED. State Tennls Tourney Wook ave tnoa Attendinee. At the present stagoe of the game there is every prospect of a large and representative entry for the state lawn tennis tournament which opens in Omaha next Tuesday. M. C. H. Young returned from Hastings yester- day morning—a day carlior than he had intended. His first maten down there was against Cullingham and Hart, who were looked upon as the most d »us pair in the ovent. And the hurri ch was blowing down the court carried somany balls_out and so much dust mto the eyes of Mr. Young and his party Larry Denise, that they came out of the en- counter wroog end up. This was unfortu- ate, for the pair had gone down with every ntention and plenty of prospect of achieving some measure of success But in the other business that wok him to Hastines Mr. Young did perhaps better than he expected to. ‘There were very few men dowu at Hastings who did not give him a more or less definite promiso to play in Omaha next week. Hastings herself prom- ises at least four pairs, probably wore, and Beatrice, Ord and Lincoln will each be ' rep- resented. There are at least two pairs in Minden who ought to be here, but they both seem doubtful whether they will be able to come. Arapahos was exvectad to send one or - two to Hastings, but didn't, and quite likely that city will treat Omaha in the e way. This will bo a pity, for the play 18 for the championship of the state and the absenco of representatives from Arapahoe and Minden, two cities which might send good pairs ‘down, will detract from the rep- resentative character of the meoting. Omaha seems likely to do herself full jus- tico. Mr. Young oxpects at loast a_dozen eutrics from the metropolis for the doubles and aiready has promises for half that num- ber, Cullingham and Battin will play to- gether again, and Denise and Young scom mot to have been disheartened by their mnonsuccess at Hastings for they still hold to their intontion of wresting the championship from the present holders. Hart and Cookson will make another strong combination, and Caldwell and Haverstick, Johnson and Murray, and Wil MeCague and his brother have also promised their entranco fees. = Among the other upon as certain are: and Shepherd; winl pairs that are looked Lincoln —Geistiardy Hastings—Mattox_ and Guilmette, Johnson and Henry, H. S Dungan aund Walquist, and Hartigan and Powers; Beatrice—Scudder and ‘Fhompson ; and Ord—Milford and Laverty. Milford ana Laverty are said to make a very strong combination. Milford is a little doubtful whether ne can get here, but in any case Laverty will be hers for the singles and some partner _or other will bo found for him in the doubles also. Valuable first ana second pr zes will bo given in both singles and doubles, in addi- tion to which the winuers willhold the titles of state chambions. The present champions are C. S. Cullingham in singles and Cu lingham and J. W. Battin mm doubles. The entry foe is only 50 cents for each player in eachi event, a vrice which should debar no one who ean hand cket. The tourna- ment is open to all residents of Nebrasica. All entrics must be in_ by tomorrow after- noon. The address of the secretary is Mr. C. H. Young, 208 Now York Life building. Mr. Jirnest Hart, one of the members of the tournament committee, has charze of the general arrangements and will spare no pains to make all visitors comfortavle. 1o mtends to ercet an awning along the wires ou Harney street $o that anyone who wishg to the_play will have to pay the admis- sion feo. New nets and of course new balls will also be provided. For the privilege of doing this he will pay the club £ and bo allowed to pockot the ‘“gate” receints. The cost of the prizes will bo defrayed by the club, but it is hoped that some of them at auy rate will bo presented by the wealthy jewelers of tho town or others who have the interest of a noble sport at heart.

About 4 a. m. yesterda at tho inst Dr." Ward called uto and took Rogers to his room at Dr. Lavender's fiouse at 1415 Dodge street.

She had been told by Peyson that he had a drunken friend in there and she could not got in. Peyson said Rogers died at 9:30. He certainly knew then that Roeers was dead. Finally, after much persuasion, the lana- lady went upstairs with Miss Graven and knocked. She received no answer and then went after her pass key. The door was locked with a catch lock and the land- lady secured help and broke it in. There they found Peyson sitting on a chair apparently asleep. Ho had a big chunk of ham or bologna in his hand.
