The “baby stare’’ is the latest Chicago inven* tion. The young ladies have adopted it with marked success. It is done by opening the eyes to their foil capacity and staring at any unfor tunate man who happens to sit opposite the young lady in a street car. The stare is supposed to represent complete and childlike innocence on the part of the young lady, but there is also a touch of idiocy in it. The man stared at general ly wilts and seeks the seclusion of the car plat form. Seriously Sirk In Washington. A letter was received in the city yesterday from ] Washington City, saying that Mr. James M. j Wright, formerly of Russell county, and now a The Second Day'9 Races of the Great Southern Tournament.

Yesterday was a gala day for the wheelmen. They are still arriving on every train, and quite a number are here now. The roati nice was started at 9:17% in the morn ing, C. H. Dillingham, of Columbus, and P. W. Stone, of St. Louis, being the starters. A large crowd had guthered at the Rankin house to see •the start and finish. The men got off well to gether. and in about a half hour a wheelman dressed in black could be seen coining over the hill on Tenth street, and by tlie aid of glasses Stone was recognized us the head man. He crossed the finish in 38 minutes and 50 seconds, with Dillingham only % minute behind. A very large crowd, probably 500 people, had gathered to witness the finish. RESULT OP THE RACKS. The first event on the programme for the after noon was a two mile bicycle handicap, tvliich was won by P. W. Stone at the scratch, with C. II. Dillingham, at 150 yards, second; time, 6:01. The times for the half miles were as follows: Half mile, 1:17; one mile, 2:53, one and one- half mile, 3:29. The half mile is a southern record. The second event was the one mile bicycle Georgia championship, with the following start ers : R. A. Brantley and C. T. Guernsey, of Ma con, Ga., and T. L. Ingram, of Columbus. The race was a close one between Ingram and Guern sey. was very exciting, Ingram winning in 3:02%, with Guerenoey a good second. Ingram, after he crossed the tape, took a very bad header, and was unable to run in any of the other races, which was much regretted, as it was hoped he would try his speed in the three mile race. The third event was a half mile handicap and was won by C. H Dillingham in 2:2%, with R. H. Polk, of Montgomery a good second. The fourth event wns a hundred yard race. There were eight starters, too many to start at once, so four were run at a time. John B. Whit lock, of Eufaula, Ala., won in 4:05, with Dilling ham a few seconds ahead. Next came the most exciting event of the day, the three mile lap race. The race was won by the following kind words about the Enwuihkr- 8un in the last issue of his valuable paper: “In common with many of our readers we live noticed the many improvements in the Columbus Enquirer-Sun. Not only has its typographical appearance been greatly changed, but mavked improvements appear in the muke-up, the selec tions, local topics and editorials- Its popularity is increasing with its improved appearance. The daily reaches us in the morning, bringing the important telegraphic news fYom all parts of the world eight hours in advance of all other papers. It is the newspaper that all our citizens should take. The weekly gives a complete sum mary of all the great events transpiring at home and abroad. In politics the Enquirer is soundly democratic, fearless and conservative. Let our friends examine the strong claims for public patronage possessed by the Enquirer."

Postmaster Watt has received instructions from Postmaster-general Vilas in regard to recent im portant amendments to the postal laws.

Now that the “heated term” is upon us a day spent away from the heat and dust is a treat that can be enjoyed by everybody and at u small coat. The Columbus and Rome railroad has very kind ly placed a special Sunday morning passenger train on the road for the accommodation of those who would like to have a day of revt md recrea tion. The road runs through a section of country that abounds with scenery that is hardly sur passed for its wild, romantic beauty. A trip over the Pine mountain alone is worth double the cost of a ticket. The train leaves the union depot at 7:38 in the morning, and letumirtg reaches the city at 7:07 in the evening. TWO HEARTS AS ONE. \ Brilliant Marrlinre at Hurfaliorn. Aliibmna. Hurtsboro. Ala., July 1H.—At 8:30 last night the Methodist church in this place was the scene of a very happy event. The oceasion was the marriage of Mr. Charles H. Owens and Miss Lnulie N. Brown, both of Hurtsboro. Long before the appointed hour the church was tilled with their many friends anxious to witness the ceremony, which was to complete the happiness of these two loving and trusting hearts. Promptly at the appointed hour the stirring ‘ tones of the organ peal ing forth a beautiftil wedding march performed most beautifully by the bride’s sister, Miss Gatra Brown. At that moment the bride and groom passed up the centre isle of the church and took their stand before the altar, which was most beautifully decorated with choice and beautiful flowers. The ceremony was performed by Rev. D. C. Cook in a very impressive manner. After the ceremony the bridal partv, with many relatives and friends, gathered at the residence of the bride’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. E. N. Brown, where they received their many friends. About 10 p. m. the quests were invited to partake of a bountiful repast. The tables were indeed loaded down with everything which could tempt the most f§uatidious v epi- cure. Never has it been your correspon dent’s pleasure to witness a more inviting ing and the statement that a number of them had assembled to witness the game, is a base misrepresentation. Now, if they bad been anxious to play us a game, why did they not appoint some other day besides Saturday, which every sensible man knows is the busiest day of the week, and why did they not notify us in the proper way? , . . Answer us, gentlemen, by lettmg us know when you will be up and we will meet you in full force and compel you to retract what you have said by a score that will even surprise the natives of Sulphur Springs. Greenville Base Ball Club. Outdoing Mngkiiui Kill/- In California, when the diggings were paying well, Signor Blitz visited a gulch and before a large audience exhibited his legerdemain. During the performance he took out his handkerchief, threw it into the air and caught it again, when he took a $20 piece out of it, asking the boys if they could do that. Old Pete, a ‘ forty- niner,” who had never changed his mining shirt since he came into the diggings, im mediately went upon the platform, took off his shirt and dipped the sleeve of it into a bucket of water, held it up and wrung out $39 50 in gold dust, including fifteen pounds of subsoil. Blitz took the first clerk in one of the departments, is very sick, and j Stone in 9:57% and scoring twenty-four points, with J. A. Lewis a good second, scoring eighteen points. The trick and fancy riding was very interesting, the judges deciding in favor of C. H. Dillingham as best and J. B. Whitlock, of Eufaula, as second. The half mile handicap was won by John A. Joseph from 150 yards in 1:22%, J. A. Lewis second from scratch, making the half mile in 1:24. This dosed the programme. Tin: RACES TO-DAY. The most inte'eating programme will take place to-day.

Horton has challenged him to run this evening, and one of the most inter esting races will !>e the one mile southerr pro fessional championship. The following is the programme for to-day: At 9 a. in., headed by a brass band, the entire body of wheelmen leave the Rankin House, ar riving at the foot of Wynn’s hill at 9:15. The hill climbing contest will start at 9:30. Doubtless large crowds will be out to see this novel and in teresting contest. Room will be kept along the sides, at the top and foot ofthe hill lor vehicles, from the tone of the letter it is inferred that he is seriously ill. The letter also states that he is comfortably located in the Providence hospital, where he receives the best nursing and medical attention to be had in the city, and his friends see that he is fornished with anything he may desire. We bope he may speedily recover. The ColumhuK and Romo. Commencing to-morrow, the 18th inst., a new schedule goes into effect on the Columbus and Rome railroad.
