NOTHER big day at the fair yester- Aay. The raceswere the best of the meoting, being crammed full of genuine oxciting sport, first-class in all the details of horse racing. The crowd 1 attend- ance was & magnificent one, and the frequent outbursts of applause from tho throngs in the stands and along the stretches oloquently at- tested to their aporeciation of the sport. The balloon ascension and parachute jump by Mlle. Jossio Zelno was a_thrilllag spe taclo and a grand success. The monster air- ship shot straight-up for a couple of hundred feet, then took a courso north, while tho big crowd choored 1 wild enthusiasm. At an altitude of probably 1,000 feet Manager Gould gave the signal, the firing ot a pistol, for tho little lady to make her jump. The dumby canine was first cut looso, then Zelno \et go and came down from her lofty height with the grace and beauty of a bird upon the wing. Tho judges wero the same as on tho two provious days, whilo in tho timers' positions wero G. . Bennott, the well known expert on horses’ feet, of Tecumseh. Neb.; Colonel James K.

Tom Miller took a lead of fully ton lengths on the first quarter, Beauty maklog a bad jump-up, a rare thing for her. Mr. Pool quickly sottled tho littlo chestnut, however, and at tho three- olghths sho had overhauled and passea the local horse. This was a surprise to young Mr. Miller and_he loft his_foet lon enough to be shoved far enough bohind to end all of McGuiro's hopes of winning tho heat. He barely saved his distance as it was, Time: 2:45, “Tho first thing Miller did to distinguish himself in the second was to pop up, and MeGuiro couldn’t settlo him until the auarter was renched. Beauty hero led by a clear five lengths. In this shape they wended into the strotch, Miller having broken again, without much damage, however. In passing the flag Beauty made a losing jump-up and Miller passed her, but tho little Appanoose filly specdily gathered herself and came in a winoer by & half length. Time: 2: Summary: Boauty.

UNCLE SAMWILL TAKE A HAND Attontion of the Called to od s al Railway Tribunal just Differentials, NEW MOVE ON THE BRIDGE ARBITRARY luterstate Commercs Commisslon Promiscs to Consider the Diseriminating I Toli Agninst Omaha Jobbers—( om= missioner Utt Reviews the Case. When the Chicago, Rock Tsland & Pacific began to play the “dog in the manger” policy, so far as absorbing the bridge arbi- trary, thero was a great deal of crowing on the part of Couneil Biufls jobbers that they had wires enough to pull to maintain tho rhitrary iu favor of Council Bluffs and against Omaha. Commissioner Utt, who, from the very beginning, maintained that the discrimination ‘was unjust, has labored carly and late to securs con- cos: from the railronds aud at one time not very long ago had secured the long prayed for abandonment of the bridge toll, the companies to the agreement signifying their intention of putting in_new tariffs im- mediately, But General Trafic Manager Sage of the Rock Island couldn't see his way clear and Pnally refused to make the change for cortain reasons that will be spoken of later on. This refusal coming in the face of General Agent Suyder's strong_assertions printed in Tite Evestya Bee of July 26, raised o doubt in the minds of Omaha jobbers about Mr. Sage's veracity and hey proceeded to look elsewhere for After the of the Rock Tsland w absorh the arbitrary Mr. Uty de- ided to have one more talk with M. Sage previous to bringing an action be- fore the Interstate Commerce commission should the freight trafiic manager of the LRock Island refuse to listen to re bofore the talk conld bo had, Mercer led Chairman Veaziy's tention to the incquality in rates betw Council Bluffs and Omaha. and that gentle- man at once signitied a ~desive to set things right even if he had to file a complaint against the Rock Istand on the grouna of discrimination. 1t’s an Old Timer, The differential sought to be absorbed has been in effect nine years. At the time it was put in effect there was considorable compluint made against the Union Pacific on onnt of a discrimination against Omaha by virtue of the excessive bride In order to wipe out this decidedly state of affairs against the Union P: Thomas L. Kimball, then trafic m: the “Overland,” went to Chicag ferred with the managers of the r interested in Omabi trafic with a equalizing the rates. After pe diseussing the question for three d which he urged that the grievances hould be _removed, and that the cities of Council Bluffs and Omaha should ~ bo plicéd on absolute cquality, Mr. Kimball came homo with pos- itive assurances that the equalized rates would g0 into effett atonce. ‘That is, that the bridge toll should be absolutely wiped out by naming the ssme through rates from California and the west to Omaha and Council Bluffs, from Chicago and the east and from Council Blutls and Omaha to locs points in lowa and Nebraska.

There was never wny good reason given why this should be so except as they elected, and the application of the old saw that might undoubtedly was right, the Council Blufts jobbers having the ears of the Towa roads to the exclusion of everything but what con ed Council Bluffs, T'ho subject has been one of great annoy anco to the business interests of Oiaha, n 50 much ou account of the business done by Council Bluffs jobbers, but because cral disability that wis thrown on Omahy in competition with Chicago and. other jobbing centers, cific er of d con- Wt agent of the 0 at_once for s assured is als public. But Mr. Utt would not yield to the ble, and on examination of h ommerce law found this paragraph, which comes almost at vhe beginning of the law: The term “railroad,” as used in this act, shall inelude all bridges and forrios used or operated in connection with any railrond, und also all the road in use by any corporation operating a railrond, whether owned or oper- ated under a contract, agrecmentor leasc: and the term “transportatis shall melude all instrumentalities of shipment or carr 3 Mr. Utt said this morning that he had no doubt about the illegality of the rate and was pleased to see Mr. Veazey take the posi tion ho did.j Links and Pins, J.

Tho baby show was possibly the most at- tractive rd at the county fair yesterday, nd Superintendent Connor's tent was com- show lastea. There were over thir future voters of Douglas county in tion for the judges' favor, but inasmuch as there were but three prizes, it was re- gone conclusion that some parents had to zo wway disappointed. 1t is quite certain, how- r. that nenc of the disappointed mothers of the unsuccessful infants will think any the less of their offspring because of their poor luck, but it without sayirg that the juages have falien several foi the cstimation of cortain women whoss names nced not hero be mentioned. The scene while the babies were on exhi bition was a very interesting one, for there wero ®abies big and little. dark and fair, fat and lean, laughing and eryinz. and all of them somethine a little finer thar the av age product of this kind, or they wouldn'y hive been there. 1t was a matter of much ariosity how the prizes would be aw forin the abseunce of a code of ¢ points, the decision was necessarily a 1 of personal fane: ‘'he work was finally nc- complished by av..eding, the first prize to Jonn Sweenoy, who will pocket $1 Mrs. J.

Today will be devoted to twing and lets, and, although theso humianity are not generally supposed to be very namerous, the entry list is along ono. Tt will probably be the most interesting day of the baby show, as well as the groatest day of the fair. The live stock exhibit was very largely rmented yesterday by the avrivil of two itional carloads of stock, while over ty head of horses in the dranght de- tment were placed before the oyes of s who had failea tosee them the day beeause of the fact that they had been unwittingly placed in the private stalls of Kinney Bros., the lessees of the park.

Theso 1Lwo youths are Joseph Jouasen, who is constantly busy at his bench turning out scroll worl and wood carving, and Oscar A. Albrecht, whose crayon work was admired by all who saw it. In his exhibit are remarkably good crayon portraits of Mayor Bemis, Henry Pundt, George Heimrod and a little girl friend of artist. ‘The latter is but 14 years but his worlk successfully passed th ordeal of searching criticism.
