Thursday was a big day ter tbe lourleb leurleb

of the no w driving park of that piece. Tka

Lltllx, Kpbnla aad ether tewna Abent
two Baeatba age a number of enterprising
eltlssae of Maahslm aad vlelalty oenoelved
the Idea of maklag a race track. A atoek
oempaay waa erganlztd with the following
omeerat President, M. II. Pleats ; aeon aeen
Ury, Dr. J. H. Hartaen, aad traararer,
Jehn H. Apple. Fifty aharea et atoek wen
leaned at 125 and all wen aoen takes. A
large field waa leaaed from Jeba D. Wit
ten, far five yean, and here a halt mile
traek waa laid eat. It la J art Met et the
town and close te the ML Hepe nllread.
The field waa eat np and filled in and
te-day the oempany haa one of theflneat
traeka te be aeen anywhere. It la 40
feet In width and much of It la of elay and
aaaolldaaafleor. A beautiful little jndgea'
atand haa been erected and atalla for the
boneaeonteetlaglnneeabaTe been built.
There la abundant room for tba largeat
kind et a grand atand en the weetern aide
or the track, and this will be erected attar
the oempany becomes belter fixed finan
elally. At present the grounds are eaoleaed
only by a common nil fenee, and tbera la
mono around the track. All these Improve
me&U will be made In time, however. Al
though there ! a peer fence around the
grounds the people who own lands adjoining
have placed up signs prohibiting trespass
lag, and this has a tendency te keep away
the crowds of people who are constantly
trying te see amusements ter nothing.
The grounds Inside of the traek anlevel and
tbera are a number of large abade trees,
wbleh de net In any way Interfere with the
view of the races. On the second tern of
tba traek beyond the Judges' stand, and al
most directly cast from that strnetnre,tbere
Is a small cat, and while the racers are In
It, for a few moments only, nothing can be
seen of the hones bat the tops of their
heads. It Is a pretty sight te view the racing
at tbia point. The grounds are large and
they will compare favorably wlthtboaeef
any fair association, it Is the Intention of
the present lessees te held fairs eventually.
THE OPENIMQ BACKS.
Since the traek has been laid out and put
In abape the numter et men having fast
horses haa largely lnereased In the neigh
borbeod, and the excitement baa been
high. Thursday was the time set
for the opening of tbe traek te the pub
lic, and early In tbe day tbe town
presented a very lively appearance. Hone Hene
men and ethers came from Lltltz, Beading,
Columbia, Eph rats, Lebanon and Lancas
ter. This city wsa very largely represented.
Aa early as one o'clock In the afternoon
people began te gather en the grounds,
oemlng in vehicles and en feet. A line of
cabs and 'busses were run out from the
town and tbe turnpike leading te the
grounds reminded one of -a fair
day. Hundreds et teams were driven
into tbe grounds and the crowd In
cluded a great many ladles. Tbe admis
sion te tbe races was but 15 cents, and,
altbengh this waa by far tee eheap, the
management did net think it wise te start
off by asking exorbitant prices. The num
ber of people In attendance was estimated
at bstveen 1,000 and 2.000. The only
daylight robbers en tbe grounds were the
boys, who sold score cards for which they
bad tbe nerve te aak ten cents. Man
helm has two geed bands and both
marched te the grounds early In the day
and dlaoenraed sweet musle beneath the
abadew of a big tree. The order was ex
cellent with tbe exoeptlen of one time, for a
tew minute, when two young bleeds who
thought they oenld fight, drew a suffi
ciently large orewd of their friends around
te bold them. Tbey wire prevented from
fighting and all they could de was
te atand and make faces at
each ether as they frothed at the
months and told what they could de If tbey
were only loose. The managers et the
grounds put a damper en their tun by tell
Ing them that tbey would be arrested it
they persisted In making further trouble.
This bad the desired efteet, and when tbe
yenngaten were Utt te themselves tbey
made peace with each ether and were secn
swapping tobacco and lies abent horses.
The traek was kept reasonably clear all
afternoon by several prominent citizens et
the town who volunteered te de tbe work.
Tbe arrangements ter tbe weighing et
driven et heraea were net et the beat and
much delay was caused by the mixing ap
of oelors, but tbls can all be remedied by a
. little work In the lulure.
THE THREE MINUTE BACK.
The raeea were billed te oemmenoe at 2
o'clock, and promptly at that hour Judge
Kauffman Doulseb, of Lancaster; Geerge
Yeutz, of Lebanon, and Miles Hollaeber,
of Lltilz, took their places en the stand and
rang the bell. There were four raoee down
en the list for tbe day, but It was decided
te dispose et tbe 3:00 and 2:45 class before
touching the ethers. The former waa tbe
firat called i and, although there were nine
entiles, but seven horses started. Tbe
nsgs bad a big time soerlog in the first
heat, and when they get away Henry
Mnsser's Bnewfiake took the lead, but fell
back. Maud, owned by O. R. Deeds, of
Beading, then forged te the front and wen
rather lastly In 3:00. The aecend heat was
also taken by Maud, but en the home
atreteh the race waa oleae and exciting be
tween her and Fairy Gilt. Theaame mare
wen tbe third beat as Bebby B, who came
In tint, had been running and was aet back
Mamie was withdrawn after the second

THE RUNKIltCI BACK.
The running race was tbe last event en
tbe bill ter tbe day, and the three entries
were O. O. Getter's Begsrdns; K. H.
Kauffman'a Ham Walten, both of Lan
caaster; and David Bishop's Delly B.,
et Manhelm. Before tbe nee began
there was a very exciting Incident Bam
Walten was rlden by Jimmy Sales, a
plucky little fellow of this elty. When the
horses were brengbt up te score the party
holding Walten left him go before the word
was alven. He dashed efl alone and It was
plain that bis rider oeutd net held him.
Around the traek tbe horse nn at a terrifie
speed with Bales holding plneklly te tbe
reins. After ha bad passed by tbe Judges'
stand tbe third time he dasbed down an
embankment en tbe aide of tbe track. The
yenng rider fell off and ley covered
With dirt. Hundreds of men nn te pick
him np and women began te scream. One
lady waa se sffeeted that she almost tainted.
Tbe boy waa found te be but slightly
braised and waa aoen running around as
lively and full of nerve aa ever. The horse
ran all ever tbe field between tbe traek and
tbe nllread before be was caught. Tbe
cause of tbe accident waa tbe breaking of a
atirrup et tbe saddle. A large and stronger
boy was put upon Walten after the repairs
te the saddle bad been made, and the race
waa resumed. Delly bad no show in tbe
race, bat the contest was between the two
Lancaster flyer. They bad something et
a straggle, but Bogardus wen both beat
The time was 53 and 61. The purse was

Tbe race closed n rare day's sport, and

Practically, tbe Republican party la hur

great relief te It, notwithstanding his utter utter

te knew that the country haa been under
Demoeratlo rale for fenr yean, and la still
prosperous, td It nlwaya will be, because
the destinlea et the oeuntry are In the
hands of the American people. Under tbe
present polity et the United (states govern
ment no party can Impose either free trade
or a prohibitory tariff upon the people se
long as a president' veto, or an adverse
legislature stands between anon measure
and their legal enactment Of what practi

UonT What will the Senate's bill amount te,

are thought about and talked of aa if tbey
inevitably followed the deolslen of tbe
presidential question In November next,
and were te bring immediate prosperlty.er
ruin te tbe oeuntry. It tbia country Is ever
rained it will be ruined by the peep'.e
themselves ; and It It prospers, it will be
through the energy and the enterprise et
the people. Hew mueb are ear Congresses
and state legislatures crttlelsed and con

turbance of tbe extatlng state of things, and
hew ran eh de people generally rejoice at
each adjournment I Let tbe people blindly
and Impulsively declare for free tradoer
a high protective tariff at a presidential
election, and then bring these measures
before tbe two houses et Congress, and
then It will become manifest hew tar tbey
have been eettled by the reaults et the eleo elee eleo
Hen. Neither the people nor the Demo Deme Demo
oratlo party mean anything like free trade
or a prohibitory tariff, but they
de mean tariff reform, and they
will ultimately realize It, tee, Decease
the Interests of tbe country demand it
The vilest and meat senseless subterfuge
that any political party could possibly be
guilty of la the unblushing presumption
et forcing an Issue upon the people that
dee net, and for reasons already stated,
oannet exist
Nearly fifty yean age and en several
subsequent occasions the merchants, the
bankers, the furnace ewnere and "Iren
lords" turned out In long precessions,
dressed np In black coats, ahtny beets and
"stovepipe" hats, with badges and banners
declaring tbe oeuntry In danger through
the threatened domlnaney et free tnde,and
that tbey, the Wblg, were lta disinterested
aalvatera. Doubtless many a threadbare
Democrat shrank within aa aloeye, or
turned a corner te kick himself aa a wanton
miner of bis oeuntry. Well, the parties
were alternately triumphant, and enaeted,
se far a practical, tbelr favorite measures.
But, nobody aeeured "2 a day and roast
beel" en account et protection, and no one
waa ruined through free trade. If people
wanted te avoid starvation tbey bad te work
for auch wages aa tbey could get, In the
same old way, for the "same old coon", and
by tbe light of the same old moon.
There la perhaps no question In which
mere et mere human selfishness is in
volved than In that of assessing a tax or a
tarlfl. Every man wanta tbe very highest
prlee for what he produces and sells, and
at the same time desires te get at the very
lowest price what be consumes of some
ether man'a production, and for thla reason
the question cannot become squarely a na
tional one; It lalceal, and personal. When
commissions et Inquiry sat for the purpose
et ascertaining the wishes et the people en
the subject, each occupation or bualneas
represented Its own Immediate interests,
without regard te tbe interests of ethers.

yean age, and doubtless It never will be
otherwise se long aa there Is no mutual
conessaloa el luteresta. Tariff reform Is
tbe only question that can be realized, bat
that does net mesn tree trade. In the
lofaney el the United States government,
and for a long time afterwards especially
when we beoeme a manufacturing people,
and te tbe extent that we became se, the
Demoeratlo party never opposed Incidental
protection and It don't de se new te tbe

nandredt el Tens of Mad and filth Meleg
KemOTed by Contractor Staeffer,
If the geed people et Lancaster want te
knew what tbey have ben drinking fee
the past ten years let them go out te tbe
reservoirs and take a leek at tbem. Tbe
west reesrvelr Is new being eleaaed out by
Jehn F, Biauffsr, contractor. Ha haa a
gang eta dozen or mera men working la
tbe bottom of tbe twain. They atand In
filthy, allmy mud almost knee deep aad
they are covered with mud from
bead te feet Tbey bava barrel and
boxes and wheelbarrows In which tbe filth
Is gathered. At the present time tbey an
cleaning ent tba northern compartment of
the wast reservoir. The modus operandi la
te pass tbe mud up an inclined plane
formed by tba low wall tbat divide the
reservoir Inte two compartments-, and then
slide the vessel containing the mud dewa
te tbe southwest corner of the reservoir.
At tbls point an Incline plana of stout
planks Is laid against tba reservoir
wall, and by means et mule power, en
tbe top of the reservoir wall, It la
heisted te tbe top of the wall where men
are stationed te receive it, and it is thrown
down a shuta into tbe turnpike en the
south side et the reservoir. Hew many
hundred tone et this filth haa been dumped
down into tbe pike would be bard te guess.
There Is quite enough, however, te make a
monument ter Superintendent Hslbaeh
fiye times aa large, but net aa pretty as tbe
soldiers' monument In Centre Square. It
la an Immense mass of filth and Is liable
te breed dlaeaae in the neighborhood un
less It Is removed at an early dar If will
take several davs mere te remove the tilth
from the bottom of tbe reservoir.
It must be remembered that these lm.
menae quantities et filth are only the
settling of tb muddy water tbat has been
pumped Inte tbe reservoirs. Much Isrger
quantities have been carried through the
water mains and Inte the dwellings et citi
zens, and have been used for oeoklng and
drinking purpose.
Lancaster haa spent hundreds of thous
and a of dollars for a geed water aupply,
and bas new an alt-sulfielent supply such
as It Is, but Ittsdeubttal whether any elty et

te the use et muddy water for day a together.
