view of the manner In which the Southern Knights comported themselves in regard to the social equality aspect of the proceedings. This was, ho said, stirred up for political pur)oses, in order that the bands of Congressman Wise should be strengthened In his approaching contest with the labor candidate. He complained very much of the way in which the local press treated the question and in this connection said that the letter which he had written for publication on this subject was only printed in two copies of the Richmond Dispatch. The whole aspect of the treatment of the subject was tinged with political biasand thescandalous partiality evinced was calculated only to burl the Democratic party where they were designed serve. news.

Second quality 75c; and that is news and good news. You have had to pay a dollar and a quarter and yet be doubtful about the quality. Buying direct from the maker does it. cheeks glowing with health and their dark eyes flashing with excitement. The fence around the inside of the race track had been removed, and on the large oval of green turf in front of the grand stand the steers go plunging and tossing and the boys go riding after them like so many incarnate whirlwinds.

Every now and then an infuriated steer would make straight for a broncho, bent on goring the life out of him and his rider, but the alert cow boy, with his high spirited steed under the most perfect control, by a single turn of his bridle hand would wheel him deftly aside and the fierce bovine would catch nothing on his horns save the circumambient air. The skill displayed in riding and managing the bn nich os and throwing the lasso was simply marvelous. Casting the running noose over the head of the steer while riding at full speed was the most insignificant part the performance. With the most pertect ease the cow boys would place it around any one of the animal's legs. This is a most difficult feat, and theskillrequisitetoits accomplishment can only be acquired by long and patient practice.

Even then be who seeks to become proficient In it must have an inborn aptitude and dexterity of eyeand hand. To perform it the cow boy must determine the spot upon which the swiftiy running animal will next set the foot of the leg around which ho desires to draw the noose, t'pon this spot he must throw the lassoo, and the moment the steer has placed his foot within its slip knot he must, by a peculiar, indescribable motion of his baud and arm draw it up above the creature's knee and quickly pull it taut. This feat was accomplished many times during the progress of the tournament indeed, the number of failures was very insignificant in proportion to the number of trials. The ridingwas equal tothe lassoing. There seems to be no possible position, however difficult or unnatural, and no combination of circumstances, however unfortuitous, in which a cow boy cannot maintain his equilibrium upon, and his absolute and complete control of a broncho horse, an animal naturally so wild aud vicious that very few of the most venturesome and accomplished riders, outside of Mexicans, Indians and cow boys, would dare even to mount them.

The man who will show the people of tho Eastern cities such a cow boy tournament as I. witnessed to day at Albuquerque cam undoubtedly become the wealthiest showman of our time, for it is an entertainment so thrilling and exciting that" Buffalo Hill's Wild West" and the most daring feats of the circus ring sink into utter iusiguiiicance in comparison with it. SQUIRE OX I1K MILK FARM. The Former Commissioner Making a Name Among the Milkmen. New York, October 22.

When Kollin M. Squire was deposed from the office of Commissioner of Public "Works ho accepted his bad" luck with a good grace, and did what many another man would not have the heart to do. He left the city, the scene of his unfortunate transactions, and bought a farm at Purdy's Station, where he is now living and supporting himself and family by keeping a dairy. So lived was his fume in New York polities that scarcely two months has passed before his old friends nnd associates have forgotten him nnd his whereabouts. His partner and fellow conspirator, Maurice Flynn, is a different typo of a man, and as soon as he saw that Squire would no longer be of any use to him he cast him off and would have nothing more to do with him.

Flynn still lives with his father in law, Theodore Moss, in Madison avenue, and attends to his business diligently, but tiie deep lines on his thin face show that he takes his unfortunate political scandal harder than Squire. He is immensely wealthy, as well as having a millionaire father in law. but he still entertains fears lest he will die poor through some financial disaster. Squire, on the other hand, is poor and forsaken by ail ot itis old wealthy and influential friends, and he works diligently on his farm for a living. His farm consists of a seventy acre place upon the Harlem road.

As soon as he was bounced from he Com missionership lie bought this place nnd started a milk farm. He keeps forty or fifty cows and a large number of goats, which yield him daily a great supply of pure milk which he ships directly to the city. If not honest in his dealings with the city when Commissioner, lie is at least honest in his work now, for the milk shipped from his farm is counted pure and unadulterated. He rises early in the morning, supervises the milking of the cows, sees that the milk is put in the cans and shipped directly to thestation. During the day time he drives around his fio'jn, improves the fences or hedges iu one way or another, surpervises his workmen, even as he did in the Department of Public Works, and makes himself an agreeable and thrifty farmer.

He comes to the city abotitonee a Week to see his lawyers, but. he does not at tempt to hunt up his old friends and worry them with his presence. He appears happy ami cheerful, and carries his same old bland, unmeaning smile on his face. How begot possession of his seventy acre farm is not generally known. It is a good piece of properly and valued at from Squire is lar from being rich and he could not ati'ord to keep such a costly farm did It not yield a good profit.

He ought to make a couple of thousand a year off the place, and rent and the cost of living up there will not cause him to worry much. LaUdy lie has added a new branch to his milk farm. A large number of goats havo been purchased and turned Moose on the place. Goat's mill; brings a much higher price than ordinary milk, especially if it comes from a good farm. Kvery day he ships two or three cans of goat's milk to the city and his farm is getting quite a name for its products.

This Squire does not aim for, however, alt hmifh lie frequently asserts that he is not ashamed of his business. It Is an honest one and It yields hini a fair income. He will probably make Purdy's Station his future home and make a name among the houi st fanners of that region. The Hard Wins the Breckenridge and Kikwood the Bowie. Baltimore, October 22.

ST. LOUIS ONE AHEAD. The Browns Win the Fifth World's Championship Game. Sr. I.oins, October 22.

Tho fifth game of the world's championship series to day between the Chicago and the St. Louis Browns was a very fame iilinir, tiie lutterwinningby a score of 10 to 3. The now umpiring plan was revived aud ttie few close decisions satisfied every one. Ouest umpired McQuade for St, Louis nnd Kelly officiated between tiie pitcher's box and sct'ond base as the referee. The playing on both sides was very loose, the bulling heavy and the errors numerous.

The Cliicagos seemed for once to have lost conJidence in themselves and played a wretched game both at the bat and in the Flint, especially, distinguished himself by his many and costly errors, the Browns scoring four times on ns many passed balls and once ou a wild throw to third base. Williamson pitched for the Cliicagos in the first inning, but was knocked completely out of the box, and Ityan occupied Hint position for the remainder of tho game. The latter did good work for a time, but as soon ns Flint began to piny out tie was obliged to case up and toss the balls slowly over the plate, and was therefore batted freely and hard. Burns, iu right r.el(it made two costly errors, allowing two men to score, who otherwise would have been left ou bases. Hudson pitched for (he Browns and did most excellent work, only tlireo hits being made oil his delivery.

This was iiis lirst eit'ort Willi the Ciiicngos and he held he down to three hits, one being made by Anson in the last inning, when it. was almost loo dark to see tho hall. Busliong caught him in his usual brilliant style, t'arutiiors did some brilliant hatting at'critleal points in the game and fielded in splendid stvle. The attendance was very largo, it being estimated Hint 10,000 witnessed the game. It was called iu tiie seven tli inning on account of dark ties, of the games played so far the t'hieagos have won two ami the Browns three.

Saturday, October 23. 18S6. The weather today is likely to be fair and slightly warmer. Open till six o'clock. Not only jackets and jacket wraps from $2 to $20 but all the wraps of whatever sort and degree.

They occupy several rooms and this directory will not come amiss: All the jackets and jacket wraps are along the East Transept, second floor. Take Arcade car to reach them. All the newmarkets, rag lans, ulsters, jerseys and all the more substantial wraps are in 1 30 1 Chestnut. All the costly wraps, Parisian fancies, and seal plush coats and dresses of every grade are in 1301 to 7 Chestnut, second floor. Take either car to reach them Arcade or 1305.

Muffs and collars and boas are coming again: which means that fur lined circulars are not to be worn much. Fur trimmings abound. We told of the sorts the other day. Seal coats and long and short seal wraps are ready for five in a hundred buyers. The other ninety five will wait for cold weather.

We have much to tell for the ninety five. The five don't need to be told. Can't take the paper room today to tell of what can wait. India shawls, as we said, are quick. They have got to be quick.

What follows we do not know; but the finer the shawl the cheaper it is today. We have no very large number at present. First come first served. We are safe in saying there'll be no better time. You are not a judge of In dias, maybe.

You are judge enough for these at the money. Take time. Take plenty of time. Don't buy in a hurry; but look; take plenty of time. Capacity to judge will come with looking.

The ones to look at are Cashmere Valley. They are the cheap ones. $75 to $500 and the money brings more stitches and richer work, more beauty, than ever we dreamed of. 1307 Chestnut. Odd lots and remnants of dress stuffs all at one counter every day.

All half value with this exception the best of the white china dinner plates are taken out to be sold for double; but none are "seconds;" they are all considered "perfect" ware.

The standard for "perfect" ware is not so high in German china as in French. A word about the corner in which these things are sold today we call it the bargain corner: Two sorts of ware are sold there: whatever is sold for so little as to interfere with regular trade, no matter how good whatever lags, whatever the reason, no matter how good or bad. You never see those capacious tables twice alike. The stream must be quick to keep the stock clear. That quickness drains our Crockery, china and glassware.

The winuing of the famous DixieStakcsat the Baltimore Pimlico races last week by A. J. Cassatt's now famous horse, The Bard, calls up a number of interesting matters relating to the turf which are particularly pertinent just at this time. The thing that Hrst suggests itself is the fine and in many respects remarkable record of the horse that won this race, the brilliant promise he has for additional laurels in the future and the lustre he throws upon the stock of Leamington, his celebrated grand sire, whose characteristics and blood be shows in a conspicuous degree. Mr.

Cassatt Is fond of nomenclature with suggestions of England, the home of horse racing, and The Bard gets his name from the great Knglish racer of the same title, just as Bend 'Or, Mr. Cassatt's fine stallion, has a famous counterpart in name on the English turf. The Bard, who is an immediate offspring of the famous Kentucky horse Longfellow, and is therefore a distinctively American horse, came, if the writer is correctly informed, from the Nan ura stud farm iu Kentucky. Anyhow Mr. Cassatt got him as a yearling just the raw horse material aud much of tho credit ot tho horse's achievement must go to Mr.

Cassatt's individual account, for, unlike poets, racehorses are not born (though breeding goes a great ways), but are mostly made. Ho is a bay, and his three great characteristics, whion are kindred qualities and nearly eo relative, are his gamincss or pluck, his powers of endurance and his excellent disposition. It is this excellent disposition, no doubt, that makes him a trifle sluggish until iironsed, but whvn he is aroused he is "the and tho prick of a spur acts Upon him like steel upon tho flint. THE HARD'S KUCOJtD. Like most of his horses Mr.

Cassatt got him cheap, and already his winnings of stukcg nlone have been considerable, while, if nothing happens, he is destined to beono of tho greatest winners of the turf. His record of races won, with time, weight and stakes up to date, is as follows: AS A TWO VKAU Ol.I).

That The Jhird did run it over proved him tiie belter horse. It was the first time Dew Prop was beaten, and if horses are like men there is no teilinp but it may have had something to do with her decline and death. Anyhow, Dew Drop never amounted to anything after that. Since the death of his only rival The I bird is now the best long dlsiauce horse in America and must prove the great "cup horse" of the country. LOTTO OK SHOUT.

This brings up the question, Is there after nil much permanent value to the horses of a country in short racing "spurts, and are any lasting benefits derived from running horses like, mad for a short distance and using them up in no time? The Hard is sound in every member and every part, a perfect specimen of a horse, with all that power of endurance that every lir.st cluss horse should have for an emergency or any practice service, such, for instance, as in war. There is perhaps not another horse on the turf that eould make a modern Paul Kovere's vide, or one like Sheridan's, iu the way that The Hard eould do it. Many are of the opinion that I he line horses of (he country are deteriorating in lasting qualities. Perhaps it may be owing to the develoj ment ol the superficial qualities in them, as well as in some of the higher asses and thoroughbreds of the human kind. There are plenty of people now living who remember how the great 4leiiiuore and horses of his kind had to run twelve miles, or three heats of four miles each, In all the races In the days when racing was something to talk about.

Of course it takes a very different sort of training and preparaliou and a very dill'erent sort of horse to run twelve miles in fast time to making a spurt of hulf a mile or a mile, as is now so much the fashion. It is si'irtrcstivc that in the South, where the best horses of the country are to he found, these long races still retain their hold and areas popular, in Kentucky especially, as they ever were. They don't think much out in "old Knintuck" of a horse that can run a fast half mile. A nanny goat can do that. In the earliest days of Knglish horse racing no horse was considered suitable for racing until he was six yeais old, and ail the early laws of racing provided that a race to be run in four mile heats could not be in less 1 ban three heats, and iu case a horse won tiie lirst two he was compelled to compete iu the third and save his distance or be disqualified altogether.

There have never been any races that have excelled in interest those of old Yorkshire on Jilack Ilambleton Moor, in which thirty mares was the ordinary number of starters, none of them over five years old. The first departure from the early rules was in 37 i when a stake was instituted for four year old colts and fillies in two mile heats, nnd this with another like it established in 17'iO became valuable subscription stakes, but soon changed from bent races to of four miles as soon as it was found out that four year olds eould run that distance. It appeared, however, to be out of the calculations of at least one generation of racing men to run three year olds, and the first race of that sort was run at York in 17711 and was called fhe Stand pinto. From that time down to the present then; has not been a meeting at York without a three year old race In the programme. Out of these rnees and grew bc St.

liCger In 177il, and three years later the Derby. The Derby was first organized as a mile and a half nice; but down to lstkj most of the races of Y'ork and all the tine races of England were four mile races. There Is an evident connection between this nnd the fact that at the present time the finest horses in all Knglaml, and, it might almost be said, In all the world, for stout ellortwith enduring qualities for the hunting Hold ami picked cavalry service, are to he found In old Yorkshire. Mil. OASS.VTT'S FINK 8TA1ILK.

Since the sale of his racing stable and last week his breeding stud hy Pierre IiOiillard, Mr. Cassatt has now the finest racing stable and stud In the Northern or Middle States, and Is perhaps only excelled by General Harding, ot Tennessee, lu tho country. It caused a pang to many lovers of the turf to see tiie Lorillard colors of cherry and black hauled down. Hisdetcrmination to quit the turf must huvo been sudden, for it is not long since he made tho prodigious number ol forty three entries for tiie Futurity stakos, to he run for In 1S8S. Jlorso ruclng is a curious business, and it would be strange If somehow cherry and black should turn up again and come to the front.

It Is a fact known only to (hone on the inside' in tho turf, but a fact, nevertheless, that Dwyer llrothers drove Mr. Ijoriilard from the turf. I'util they came upon the scene Lorillard was "cock of the walk," had lie best horses, won till the big races and carried the day everywhere. Tiie Dwyer Itrolhers were the first to make match races with Mr. Lorillard and beat him.

They began beating him, and they kept on beating him, and then to cup the elituux they sailed lu and bought his best horses. It was from Mr. Lorillard that tho Pwyors bought Dew Prop, for whom they paid "hut the Dwyers more than won that much with her before she died. It Is curious, too, to find Iroquois, Mr. Lorillnrd's best stallion going to the stud which the Dwyers represent, and nt the ridiculously low figure of If Iroquois lives he may yet bring double the money.

All tho stallions sold eheap. Mortimer, who was purchased by Mr. Withers rumor buys for Mr.Ciefsntt for cost Mr. Lorillard exactly Hut the stud establish ment cost a terrible amount to keep up. Competent authorities estimate that tiie expense of supporting Mr.

Lorillnrd's racing and breeding establishment amounted to a quarter of a million of dollars a year, (hie of the surprises of the Lorillard sale was the entry of fresh and fashionable Philadelphia Into the racing arena, Mr. Kred T. Mason, thegenlal secretary of the Philadelphia Club, and a distant rehitlvo of Fanny Kemble. Ho bought number of the best find highest priced horses. It has often mystlllcd and surprised many people that Pennsylvania, which enrrics two horses on (scutcheon, and which bus bred sotno of tho best horses of Ih i country, Including some noted racers, should pav such little nitention to the turf.

The reason is to bo found In the tpmkcr conservatism thnt, whllo favoring bolter and swifter horse nnd encouraging horsemanship, cannot endure tho practices and abuses which huvc lately given horse racing a terrible black eye In nil parts of the country. Race meetings flourish, or rut her hav nourished, close to all the leading cities of the country, but never at Philadelphia. Attempts huvo been made again and again scores of limes to have the lending horses of the country slop over here and run ou the way to or from Hnltltuore, but they have nlways fulled.

EXCITING SPORT AT A NEW MEXICAN AGRICULTURAL EXHIBITION. How They Rode the Broncho and Threw the Lasso for Prizes. ALTiUQTTEitQTTE, Now Mexico, October 1. No festival throughout the entire year is hailed with greater delight by the residents of Southeastern Colorado and all New Mexico than the Agricultural Fair, which is held annually at Albuquerque, Mew Mexico's metropolis. It is an agreeable era, from which they like to date.

"So many years last fair," "three fairs are common expressions in the mouth of everybody. All residents of New Mexico have a great fondness for and pride in the Albuquerque fair, and with good reason, too, for it takes place at just the time of year when a New Mexican sky is in all its blue and cloudless intensity of beauty, and when the bright and glorious sun is lending its last mellow russet to the vintage. Fall, and especially October, is the season ol mirth, plenty and rejoicing in all Southern latitudes the time when everybody is inclined to be light hearted and happy. A visit to Albuquerque at the time of the fair is regarded as the greatest of all treats by every New Mexican, aud the concourse of these good people, as well as of those from Colorado and even from Sou til western Kansas, adds in no small degree to the beauty and interest of the scene. THK AI.rtrO.ITEliQUE FAIR.

No sooner were the gates opened at 8 o'clock in the morning than a dense crowd poured into the grounds. New Mexico, Colorado and Kansas were well represented, large numbers having availed themselves of the very liberal excursion rates given by all railroads running into the city. The main exhibition building is a large and commodious structure, which would do credit to many more pretentious places in the Fast. In point of interest the display surpassed, in many departments, any similar exhibition that our larger Eastern cities can boast. Probably no section of this country is richer in objects of natural and historical interest than New Mexico, and the fair at Albuquerque brings them out in great variet y.

So many of the people are virtually Spaniards, though born on New Mexican soil, that they possess many rare curiosities of Spanish handiwork bequeathed them by their ancestors. Heavy chests, inlaid with st'el and brass, armchairs of sturdy oak, with leathern backs, bearing quaint devices picked out in silk embroidery; ancient wardrobes, tables, bedsteads mid many similar articles of most curiously antique Spanish workmanship abound. The bibliomaniac and literary antiquary, strange as it may seem away off in this Western wild, will also find fond for their dusty tastes and may stumble now and then upon something very curious in the way of old Spanish ImjuIvS and manuscripts. Knormous quantities of earthenware of all descriptions, rod, white, yellow and almost every other color, made of clay indigenous to this region and comprising utensils of all possible shapes and uses, such as pueheros and pucheritos (pans and dishes), make the fair seem as though it were essentially a sale of crockery and impose upon the curious the necessity of being very circumspect in walking. It cannot fail, also, to frequently excite a longing ioronesncbgraud smashas would be caused by tint entrance of the proverbial bull In a china simp into the midst of such a large collection ol brittle ware.

If you want to lay in a stock of blankets for the coming winter the Albuquerque Fair is the place par excellence in wliich to make your purchases. There are scores of swarthy Indians loaded down with these warm articles of bed clothing, which they have woven with own hands. All the Indians in this section, aud especially those of the Navajo tribe, posses wonderful skill in the art of weaving blankets, and of dyeing, in the brightest colors, the wool of which they are composed. Their methods, both of weaving and dyeing, are secrets known only to themselves. It is a curious sight in tiie Indian villages of New Mexico to see he braves and squaws weaving blankets in the oten air.

Two trees situated at the proper distance from each other serve as a loom and to these they fasten the ends of their threads. Tiie blankets made by them are woven more closely and irmly than any others. They are warmer without being appreciably heavier and are of much handsomer finish. They also possess the property of being water proof. The price charged fm them ranges from 29 to according to the cupidity or necessities ol their manufacturers, and If they happen to belli that condition ol extreme impoeuninsity, tersely described by some of our modern philologists as hard up," they are glad to part with one for even $.

AUT AND FANCY WORK. Thefinearts are not neglected at the Albuquerque Fair. There is an art department, which is far better than could be expected. Some of the paintings on exhibition are the works of old Spanish masters, which have been treasured as precious heirlooms in (lie families of their present owners for geni ra ins past and are now loaned to add to the glories of tho exhibition. There are even some pictures by modern artists now residing In the Territory thr.t are by no means to be despised.

Mrs. Dr. Bradley, a well known society lady of his city and an accomplished amateur, displays a lanre collection of her own oil paintings, many of which would do credit to a professional. In the fancy work department Mrs. Charles Iver, of Los Vegas, makes a magnificent display of embroideries.

There is a crazy quilt made and exhibited by Mrs. Dr. GochenruKT, of Socorro, which Is the most wonderful tiling of the kind I "nave ever seen or heard of. It, is composed of over 100.00J pieces of silks ami velvet, some of them so iiitinitesimally snmll that it would puzzle the average Congressman to discover how the lady ever managed them together. The entire quilt is a collection of elaborate pictures wrought iu crazy pal 'dies a sort of needle work mosaic.

It comprises representations of the flags of all nations, the Capitol at Washington, a locomotive nnd train of cars, the coat of arms of New Mexico, he pyramids of Kgypt, and suns, moons, cresents and stars innumerable. If any enterprising dime museum manager could induce Mrs. (iochenauer to sell or rent him this quilt he would find it an attraction of unparalleled drawing power. Tom Carlyon, a noted criminal, now undergoing a sentence of fifteen years In the Santa Fe Penitentiary for robbing an express ear on the Atchison, Topoka andSnnta Fe liailroad some two years contributes some remarkable specimens of wood carving, that are a revolution of the pos abilities of that beautiful art, though lie has never had any instruction, but is wholly self taught. It seeniH more than passing strange that a man who possesses a skill sufficiently rare to command a large salary should stooit to crime.

Pantalion Jlill, a l'i year old boy, exhibits some very fine peanuts of his own cultivation, which are the first ever raised in New Mexico. They are fully equal to any from Georgia or the Caro llnas. PEOPLE AT THE FA IK. Hut the most interesting feature of tho Albuquerque Fair is not its display of products, but the heterogeneous crowd of people who view them. Here is the Spanish American, with his broad sombrero; the fierce looking cow boy, with his belt full of pistols nnd bowie kntves, and the WCansas City dude, with his shining black silk hat.

The Navajo Indians, clad from head to foot in undressed skins, jostle their more uncivilized brethren, the Mojaves, naked, save for cloth around the loins. Here is the Mojave mother, bare to the waist and clasping to her dusky breast ber tawny babe, who draws its sustenance from nature's fount as Its parent pushes her way through the crowd. Girls as pretty us any to be seen In Philadelphia ami dressed quite as sty lishly as any who promenade Chestnut street, go laughing and talking with their beaux through the broad aisles of the main exhibition hall. Hut the observd of all observers In this great crowd Is Hilly Moyarez, one of the most famous row boys lu this region, nearly six feet In height, straight as au arrow, with strength, agility and suppleness ox pi eased In the curve of every limb; he is the beau ideal of a dashing, handsome, fearless frontiersman. Hilly added considerably to his reputation recently by un exploit at Gallup, a mining town of New Mexico, a little this side of the Arizona line.

As he was about to mount his ponv, in that place, one day, nbout six weeks ago, a Navajo Indian claimed It his, and accused Hilly of having stolen it. The cow boy rtsented the Indhm'selaim and warned him to be careful. Hut the Navajo hooded him not, and, seizing the pony's bridle, he tried to wrest It from Hilly'n (Julck as a flash the cow boy drew lis big navy revolver, fired, nnd Instantly there was one Dullan lesg In New Mexico. The friends of the dead man soon gathered at Gallup in force and loudly demanded vengeiiUco for tho murder of their comrade. The ranchero who was Hllly's employer endeavored to effect a compromise, lie offered to give tho relatives ami Intimates of tho dead Indian $M0 worth of goods from tho Gallup store if they would let tun matter drop.

They gladly accepted this proposal, and as the storekeeper, by a preconcerted arrangement with the ranchero, charged the Indians quadruple price for everything they took, Hilly's patron was not mure than S2Uoutof pocket, There was some good horse racing at the fair this morning on a very excellent half mile track. Tho principal event was a trotting match for horses that had never beaten throe minutes and was well contested by a number of very creditable local specimens of horseflesh. Hut the grealesf feature of he whole fair that which Is the principal magnet In drawing hither all these people from three States took place this afternoon. was a grand cow boy tournament, which wai contested on the race track for several valuable prizes by all the most noted eow boya of this region.

Over forty thousand members of the order of the Knights of Labor will, it is anticipated, participate in the display.

The route is an extended one, so that thousands of people will have an opportunity to view it. A CiltUAT EVENT. The DiHicultis Kccoption Committee Hail to Surmount. Since the inception of the movement, immediately subsequent to theopeniugof tho proceedings of the General ANsembiy, the reception committee appointed to carry out the incidental arrangements of the Kiiijjhts of Labor parade have sedulously applied themselves to the perfection of the most minute details in connection with the event. The massing together in semi military array of such an enormous iKidy of undisciplined men presented almost insupeniblcduJ lenities yet fully realizing the fact (he commit toe confronted the ordeal and accepted its responsibility, buoyed up by the conviction that the standard of organization claimed for the order would, in a measure, compensate for the lack of mere technical training.

I'OWDEKLY'S KKTl'KN What lie Has to Say About tho Work of the Convention. The General Master Workman of the Knights of Labor looked fagged and dis splrited ns yesterday forenoon he wended his way to the Iiroad Street Station of tho Pennsylvania Kallroud. He bad only arrived some hours previously and tho necessarily short sleep which he enjoyed at tho Bingham House, together with the mental and physical strain that the proceedings at the convention must have entailed, contributed to render his general appearance decidedly different from that which marks bis rather agreeable and self complaisant iircs nco on ordinary occasions.

Though disposed to speak at length upon tho outcoino and Incidental features of the convention the time at bis disposal rendered any elaborate resume impossible and tho remarks which he did mako applied to a review of the proceedings as a wnols rather than to ny of their more prominent aspects. Asked If he would attend the monster parade orrunged for by tho Knights of Labor lio replied In the negative and expressed his regret that nii sslng business In connection wftli the oilier rendered his presence at the tannic Impossible. lie was, bo said, about raving for Lawrence, In which a nicetiint of District Assembly No. 30 will bo held to night and the proceedings of which would bo of very great Importance.

COR. ELtVENTM AND MARKET 8T8. i WALKER BLAISE. Something About the Western Railway Men Among Whom He is to Locate. From the Chicago Mail.

Walker Maine, the eldest son of the Hon. James G. lilaine, is coming to Cnicago to settle. It is said that he got a berth in the law department of the Chicago and Northwestern ltallroad. Emmons lilaine, a younger brother, has a place in the operating department of that big corfxiration.

L'mmons was a Harvard and Walker a Yale man and both are bright. Both have, of course, been greatly aided in their advance by their father's holdings of stock in big corporations and by his great prominence in polities. Walker lilaine, who will soon follow his brother out here, was one of the government counsel before thefainous Alabama Court of Claims. That tribunal, which had dragged along for the benefit of its judges, counsel and clerks for about fifteen years, was wound up last January. That left Walker Blaine out of a job.

Although there is very little reason to believe that he would Jiave stood any show at all for a place in Goudy's stall' if lie had not been the son of his famous father, still, all who meet liiin will find him a painstaking worker, who knows a thing or two, and whose abilities are above the average. 31 was an honor man in '7t at Yaie. He will like his brother Kmmons, join all the dancing classes so fashionable here, and become just as popular a partner. Walker Blaine's moving out here suggests that the offices of the big Western roads are getting to be favorite places for the sons of the rich men or the influential politicians of the country. With the exception of certain of the New Jersey roads, notably the New Jersey Central, the operating departments, the law departments and all others are run ou civil service principles, and the good offices are held by the men who have grown up to them.

Even the Vanderbilts show no favoritism in their selections, although there are now many young men there in control who naturally would have a good many social preferences. The rich men's sons are looking to the Western ofhet probably because the Eastern are harder to get into. When Walker lilaine gets here the ox Secrelary of Stale will have two sons in the Northwestern olHc.es. A son oi Senator Dawes, of Massachusetts, has just been given a place in the Chicago, liuriing ton and quincy law department. Young AVinslon was uiven a place in the law department of the Michigan Central.

In some instances, on the other hand, the sons of rich and influential fathers have been put in these roads as they would be put in a mercantile house, started at the bottom and given pot luck with the rest, In this way the son of J. Sterling Morton was starfed in the Burlington. He is now at the bead of the passenger department. McCullough. the son of Marvin llughitl, began in the North weslern as a clerk in I lie freight deportment He is now the general freight agent.

Stone, the general manager of the Chicago, Hur ling ton and tiincy, alt hough a nephew of President Perkins, began as a machinist in the eons! rueflon department of the road. He is now tiic youngest general manager in the country. KAILKOAI) LIABILITY. An Interesting Case Decided by Judge liutler. Judge liutler, in the United States Circuit Court, yesterday filed an opinion in favor of the defendant in the suit of E.

K. Lemont Co. against the New Y'ork, Lake F.ric and Western Uailroad Company. The action was brought to recover a balance of Vi7 claimed to be due on advances made to C. H.

Kear, on a consignment of hay aud oats shipped over the road. It had been urged that in May of last year a party giving the name of C. H. Kear aud stating his firm to be C. Kear obtained from the plaintiffs as an advance on five car loads of hay and one car load of oats, which he forwarded over the defendant road.

He had bought the merchandise wif limit paying for it and a portion of it was attached on the way to satisfy the seller's claim, only about half of the shipment reaching Lemont fc Son. They endeavored to hold fhe railroad company responsible for the difference between the amount advanced toKearand the sum realized from the hay and oats delivered. The Judge, in deciding the case in favor of tile railroad company, says it is quite plain, on the facts staled, that the defendant is not responsible for the plaint ill's loss. The Pennsylvania statute of June 1:1, 1S74 (Pardon's Digest, j). 441), governs the case.

The object of ibis legislation was to relieve railroad companies aud other carriers and bailees from the dufy, supposed or uef uai, of defending soils aralnst. the property entrusted to their care. The plaiutill' received notice of flu: attachments and it was his duty to appear and defend if he supposed any good could be aeomplished by doing so. A. T.
