There were 8,000 people In the auditorium and as many more outside unable to gain admittance When General Gordon rose to speak the bank struck up "Dixie," but Its strains could not be heard, so great was tho din raised by the vocal demonstration given the beloved chieftain. General Gordon, when quiet had been partially restored, delivered his address. It was in a happy vein and congratulated the people of the South on their acceptance of the verdict of the war and their heroic recovery from Its effects.

General S. D. Lee, as chairman of the historical committee, read a report, Which, among other things, said: The true cause of the war between the states was the dignfied withdrawal of the southern states from the union to avoid the continued breaches of that domestic a i i guaranteed but not consummated by the constitution, and not the high moral purport of the to destroy slavery, which followed incidentally as a war measure. As to the war itself, and the results of fough tHwbnDa SPbqlrsc ctotot the war, the chldren of the future would be astonished that a people fought so hard and s6 long with so little to fight for, judging by what they gather from the histories now in use. prepared by writers from the North.

(Gslesburs, 111., Correspondence.) LITTLE MORE than a year ago the Galesburg race track existed only in the imaginations of a few men. Many will recall the lengthy correspondence and the many negotiations which were necessary before C. W. Williams decided to move to Galesburs from Independence, la. On April 3d of last year the track was staked out.

In the past year, what was once a pretty pasture land has become a fair grounds of national repute, for it was here on Galesburg's dead level track that pretty little Alix reduced the ting record to The first year cannot said to have been more than an experiment, but the result was so satisfactory that the Williams' race track is one of the solid Institutions of.the beautiful college city of Central Illinois. The outlook at the present time is very flattering, and it seems as though many records must fall here before the season Closes. During these spring days the grounds present a lively appearance. If you ask any of the trainers how they like the track their invariable answer is that it coulfl not be better. Mr.

Williams has that reputation among horsemen of being able to keep a track in as perfect condition as anybody can. The track was heavily manured last fall. About a month ago the manure was worked into the soil so that tha ground is very springy and elastic. Carpenters will soon beg-in work on additional grand stands, for the crowds of last year more than taxed the pres- ene seating capacity and the management expects a much larger attendance this year. It is not yet decided in what shape the new stands will fee built, but it la certain that Mr.

Williams will make them conform to the architecture of the other buildings. 1 The first event which will draw the public attention to the Galesburg track this year will be the state bicycle meet to be held June 19, 20 and 21, where $2,509 will be given away in prizes. The first day there will be eight races with premiums worth $600; the second day $1,000 will be divided among ten races, and the last day $900 goes to eight races. Besides several local championship events, the program includes a quarter, one mile, two mile and five mile L. A.

Illinois division, championships. Thousands of wheelmen and many of spectators will be present at that time. The next attraction will be the Fourth of July celebration, which, as Mr. Williams does things, will be elaborate and complete in every detail. It will be the day to entertain the people from all the surrounding country.

Then comes the great trotting and pacing meeting, Aug. 26 to Sept. 7. For this meeting thirty-eight of the 52,000 stakes filled, showing the entries of over six hundred trotters and nearly four hundred pacers. These animals represent about all the leading stables in the country.

Monroe Salisbury, the owner of pretty Alix and other fast ones, has about thirty-eight entries here. A few ol the entries in the fast stakes will give an Idea of the quality of the horses be gathered here at this meeting. In tlte 2.10 pace there are such Individuals aa Vera Chapel, Belle Mahone, Colonel Thornton, Coleridge, Albert Fidol, Frank Egan, Ethel Ga- Ella and Fleetwood, 2:12. In the 2:12 trot we find such names aS Cicerone, Senator B. B.

2.13%; Kentucky Union, William Penn, Senator Conkling, Miss Nelson, Klamath, Mambrino Queen, Beuzet- Jack, Aunt Delilah, and Nina Medium, Besides the advertised stakes numerous specials will be arranged later, which will include many of the record breakers of the season. The fact that the Williams track is going to be the speediest in tho country will draw such horses here for time races. Immediately following this meeting will come the Breeders' meeting, which will run from Sept. 9 to Nov. 2.

The program contains 138 races with $300 purses. Entries close Aug. 26. The trainers are just beginning to let horses step along a little, and some good speed has been seen. The Allerton family are doing fine vork, and If they hold up through the season, several of them will gain enviable records.

As Mr. Williams goes down the- track with- some one of this string hitched to a "bike," the boys all want to stop their work to see him go by, for he has some fine steppers. Aller- tsn, who holds the stallion record to a liigh wheeler, so far has worked well and shows great promise of lowering his record of Ferron and Falfa also do fine work. There is a 2-year-old sorrel pacer, Rob Hllliard, a full brother to Falfa, by Allerton, who is moving about as nice as any horse at the track. Ab.

Fullagar of Omaha is here with a promising string of eight or nine. The leader Is Nina Medium, who Is entered in the :15 classes. He has a greeh pacer, Attempt, which is showing gremt promise. The others also are well watching. Ab has this string en- In about $8,000 worth of stakes.
