RACING RESULTS, St. Joseph's Meeting Finally Fuirly Opened o w Muddy Track. St. Josern, Mo, Sept. 20.—[Special Tele- gram to Tug Ber.]—At 10 o'clock this morn- ing, for the first time in forty-cight hours, the sky commenced to clear and by noon a bright sun was shining on the muddy race course, The management had worked vd for hours to get the track in condition to start, and at 8 o'clock what seemed an fm- possibility was an accomplished fact, and while the track was slow, the 2:30 class for stalhons was called. Courier outclassed his field and bets were freely made on him in the auctions at 10 to $ on the fleld. However, it was hardly expected that he would win the first heat, as he has a habit of losing the first eat, whether fast or slow, but he secured the lead before the turn was reached and was never headed. The time was neces- sarily slow. He won the next two hcats without raising his nose. The three-minute class for trotters was one of the great betting.races of the meot- ing, over $1.000 going in the hox on tho favorites, Charles C, Duroc Wilkes, Delia Ship and Grace Simmons. The latter, after luying up the first, won without strotching her neck, odds of 10 to 1 being hung up against the field on second heut The H-year-old free-for-all was started, but only one heat could be trocted. It Conqueror outelasses his field and will win. Summaries: 2:30 trotting, purse $2,000: Courler, b. b., by Critenden (Settle) Lakota, br. ... .. 4 Blan Aleo, bohl 1 Andy Pogue, b. .

I A. Talks of the Order in the Empire State. BUFFALO, Sept. 20.—The Enquirer publishes an intecview with Isaac Cluff, a Canadian who came to Buffalo about sixteen months ago and who is now head organizer of the American Protective association, an order hitherto known only in the west. He is quoted as say- ing: “What are we organized for? To fight papac What with? Anything from ballots to bullets. Look at the public schools in Buffalo; over B0 per cent of the teachers aro Roman Catholies. Inside of two years I promise you thero will not be a Catholic teacher in the schools. We are goin to do the same in Buffalo as we have in Detroit, Saginaw, Kansas City and other western towns. Almost every employe of the municipality aud corporation of Detroit a few years ago was a Catholic. Now there are only two Romanists in the city's employ “Look at the army of Catholics about the Buffalo city and county hall. Take my word for it, we will turn down every one of them. Ivory department will bo Protestantized. Nor will we stop here. There must be a turnover all through New York state. We are getting to leave every lomunistat home, bave the Catholics gained asconduncy in our army and navy uniess becsuse some day they hope 1o use them? 1 tell you that if we cannot Protestantizo the army and navy, we have plenty of men ready to bear the musket against the apal foe and our members are sworn to e loyal until death. “Who belongs to the order in Buffalo? Lots of good people—clergymen, lawyers, business men and employers of labo some of whom haye agreed not to employ any help unless they are members of the American Protective association. All members are sworn to secrecy not to reveal the officers of the r.u?mnlinulo councils nor the places of meetings. We don’t want anybody to know anything about our order until we are strong enough to declare ourselves.” Mr. Cluff did uot realize that he was speaking to a member of the press when he made these statements. He also added the inforaation that there wore six councils in Buffalo, two in the heart of the eity and fonmin the suburbs, It was intended to bufld the order up toa membership of 8000 this winter, and he said that fifty' or 100 members we being initiated eyery meeting. Their circulars contain some drastic uttes ances, one distributed quictiy among avowed opponents of the Roman Catho- lics and another ‘secretly among those who have taken the obligations of the order. The fivsticircular recites that the order is about two years old; that in that time it has: grown to 1,000,000 members; that in certain western cities every official from the wayor down is a member; that it §3' aggressive without finaneial benefits, dnd political, yet non- partisan; that it fs a seoret ordér, fight- ing a secret foe—the Jesuits.
