Executive Committee thinks that the Republican Gubernatorial Convention will be held about the first of July The failure of the second attempt of anti-Sherman Republicans to merge the two State Conventions seems on the surface to have settled the result of the convention to select delegates and indicates that the is strong enough to override all obstacles and give the Ohio Senator the vote

background the handsome club-house standing sentinel over the smooth courses where over a hundred thoroughbreds stretch their mettlesome limbs the drives gay with belles and beaux from tlib city excited spectators of the preparatory sport trainers jockeys and stable boys hurrying here and there form a combination full of interest and suggestion It is three weeks now before the great spring meeting opens but the uninitiated visitor might well bo deceived by the bustle about the track and the time made by the horses in their work that the meeting was at hand Secretary Gilloek is a happy man He has labored in and out of season to render this meeting a success and his efforts have been crowned beyond even his most sanguine expectations Every mail brings him letters from owners bespeaking stable room and conveying such expressions ot congratulation upon the excellence of the track and accommodations as would be gratifying to any official Yesterday he received four letters and two telegrams from owners at the Crescent City to have stable room set aside stating that they were coming here directly from that city and would reach Nashville by next Tuesday Lucky Baldwin when a few days ago informing Mr Gilloek of the sure coming of Volante Miss Ford Emperor of Norfolk Los Angeles and the full Santa Anita stable remarked that he anticipated sport at Nashville of a high

will be eminently rs s-v estate is on the said a prominent dealer to an American reporter yesterday so it goes all along the line A brighter look has come to the vender of dirt and he walks the street with a air of a man who had a good thing in sight a i-ule the real estate dealers of Nashville are better satisfied with the present outlook than they would be with a boom The prices are steady and the tendency upward without artificial inflation A great many Northern men were in the city during the past week looking around to invest their money They all expressed themselves well pleased with the Rock City Letters from Kansas and the West are received daily by Nashville dealers The writers express themselves as dissatisfied with the weather of the plains One agent stated to the reporter that he knew of as many as fifty families who had moved to Nashville in the past year and bought homes some of them very handsome ones too just to give their children the advantages of the schooling offered by the Athens of the South At present West Nashville property is higher and more readily disposed of than in any other portion of the city All dealers are mustering their strength for a vigorous campaign during the remaining months of spring and they anticipate large returns from their labor One and all say that the Midland Railroad will be a blessing to them as well as other classes of business and declare that they have already felt the effects of the new road Sales were not exceptionally brisk during the past week but inquiries and preparations are vigorous Agents are surveying and posting lands in the suburbs and lots in the city ready to be put on the market Transfers recorded last week were: Mrs Amanda Winter to Marcellus Gee land in Twenty-third District $1200 Ellen Young to Elias Simpkins land on Creek $20250 in and Southgate to Fannie and Nannie Perkins lot in Eighth Ward $320 and IT Goodlett to Mary Mulvihill lots on Crawford street rx The count Mayor McCarver fancies that he is not very tender-hearted but it has been noticed that the poor seldom leave his office without some sort of assistance Recorder Bell fancies that the new water-works bonds will command a premium Precedent is with him Comptroller Flanigan fancies that nobody has observed that he has taken to writing with a gold pen and wearing boutounieres Treasurer Tumble Iancies that he is

very handsome lithograph representing the military encampment to be held in this city next May will be issued next Wednesday and will be posted in the public places throughout United States In the foreground a brigade of soldiers is being reviewed by the General and in the rear is an excellent picture of the grand stand and club-house at West Side Park where the drill and encampment will be held Manager Smith wrote Capt Berry yesterday that he expected to get the Gate City Guards to attend the dril and he might be able to persuade a battery also from Atlanta to come Capt Bibb of the Montgomery True Blues called upon Gen Chas Thurman yesterday and informed him that the Blues would enter the drill Capt Bibb is a fine officer and has one of the best companies in the South and will doubtless make a hot fight for the first prize The Mobile Rifles say that they will attend the drill if the Flouston Light Gaurds of Houston Tex will Capt Smith wrote the Guards regarding the challenge but has not yet received an answer The Houston Guards won the first prizes at Mobile and New Orleans two years ago over the Chickasaw Guards of Memphis and Mobile Rifles and both companies are impatient to retrieve their lost laurels Miss Bacon the sponsor for the Southern Cadets of Macon Ga has selected her ladies of honor who will accompany her to Nashville The names of her fair companions were not communicated but the letter from which the above facts were taken says that she has chosen of the loveliest girls in Miss Bacon herself is a noted beauty but this announcement need not startle the Atlanta Rifles for their sponsor and her staff represent the fairest graces and gentlest culture of the Rock City This feature of lady sponsors for the companies contesting in the drill is a relie of chivalry not difficult to trace Scott has woven about the knight of old a rich fabric of enthusing lore based upon the custom of the list that each knight paid his aevoirs to some goddess of beauty eyes rained solt upon him The lance of Ivanhoe may have mold-ered but the spirit of chivalry which he embodied breathes and burns even though under new conditions and the recognition which these modern civic knights request at the hands of Nashville beauty is a graceful obeisance to her excellence and inspiring graces which will find no critics As a rule the companies which will attend vhe drill will represent the best elements of society in their respective cities and the ladies who will honor them will do so without in he least overstepping the limit of maidenly reserve Indeed very many members of the crack Southern companies have a clientele of lady friends already in Nashville L3 1 th an Justi Buford Bros Justi lie hardware: see nothing of realizing a good spring

have wintered at West Side are forward as those on the Pacific Slope and their meetings will be hard fought The animals now at the course could be screwed up to racing form in five days and are taking work as smoothly as the most fastidious trainer could desire Mr Bob Swigert son of the proprietor of the Elmendorf stud was in the city a day or two ago and on a visit to West Side Park was astonished at the splendid condition of the horses much as he had heard about the advantages of the place The horses at Lexington have not had a work thus lar and are terribly backward The public are beginning to realize that racing will be seen at Nashville in a few weeks without any parallel in the South and interest is keep in the approaching events The sporting papers too are prophesying all manner of good things for the meeting and everybody officials trainers jockeys and owners is in high feather This was worn by a tall lithe brunette 19 years old maybe with big expressive brown eyes a roguish mouth and a brilliant coloring The accentuated feature of her attire was a poke hat a big whimsical conspicuous coquettish poke which ran out like an inverted penthouse above the forehead and flared with laughing audacity about the face The rogue of a hat was covered with black tulle and its crowm was one bunch of large nodding yellow roses mixed with their own leases and prickly stems One wandering spray of rose foliage escaped from the tangle and hung with the above-mentioned fifty-four inches of black tulle and gold ribbon down behind It sounds brave it? And she a sweet-faced demure-eyed modest creature who betray the quiver ox an eye-lash that she felt the gaze see look at She never turned her head An instant and she had vanished inside a shop claiming for him is viewed from two standpoints His advocates argue that the fact will indicate such a progressive spirit on the part of Southern Republicans that the North and East will be glad to stimulate it by a concession of the Presidential nomination it prefers trusting that the ultimate consequences in the party will be a reward On the other hand the anti-Shermanites claim that the electoral vote of the South is almost sure to go as a unit for Democracy the voice of Southern Republicans will be weak in the national councils Discarding these arguments the fact remains that tiie Ohio Senator is fighting on the aggressive away down in Dixie and that the machine Republicans are to a large extent his allies in this section One of warmest supporters in Tennessee however yesterday said to an Aaieri-OAN reporter that the Sherman men would have the liveliest light on their hands in the convention ot May 16 that they ever faced and that they would find that they were mistaken in their calculations have the advantage of he continued that they are organized and we are not but the boldness of their scheme to capture the delegation is such that it will aid us materially in our opposition When the convention meets the Iriends ot Mr Blaine will be them and they will make themselves felfc while the deal is going- on We have no personal fight to make against Mr Sherman but we have a personal fight to make for Mr Blaine Florence letter or no Florence letter and we are going to make it to the There seems to be a tendency to draw swords in the Republican camp The coming man

yet show our hand Our Convention on the 26th will impress the opposition we trust and we are going to make such a nomination as will win respect for our candidate and give confidence to our forces We are in dead earnest and will be felt in the election to a The Prohibitionists in Tennessee generally favor Clinton Fisk for the Presidential nomination The speaker was asked who they wanted for the

remarkable attraction With a 75000 grand stand a $20000 battery and an extra $7500 pitcher in Sowders thre ought to be no difficulty for the City of Culture to make a barrel of money and reach a high mark in the League race Morrell now has a wonderfully strong team and will offer a big price for the championship He will have full charge of the team and being a practical captain stands a very good chance of ending the season well up this city the general impression prevails that although Clarkson has added at least 10 per cent to the strength of the Boston club it is not strong enough to win the flag It is true that the great twirler who leads the League in his position has been a stumbling block to the Detroits New Yorks and Philadelphias By securing him the Bostons have a man who will be a great help when they face their old enemies But there are one or two clubs who have no fear for the Beaneaters in any shape or form and especially for Clarkson One of these teams is the one that calls Pittsburg its home On the other hand the White Stockings are indeed greatly weakened In Clarkson they had a man to whose efforts mainly they owe the high position they held in the race last season This move it is almost universally believed will flatten chances of winning the pennant or even getting a place in the race Capt Anson is about the only man who thinks he can win first place with his present force Van Haltren and Mark Baldwin have shown wonderful improvement in the box since they lest Chicago last season but they have not had the experienpe of the Cambridge lad and itL
