beyond expression if the Christian heart

the assistence will be furnished her to
reach her home. There she hopes to

YESTERDAY'S RACES
An Unfortunate Accident Put Gallant
Archie Out Os 2:24 Trot. *
YERY SUCCESSFUL OPENING DAY
Races Today Will Be Even Better. School
Girl and Primus J. Hot Favorites Last
Night—The Program For Today.
The first day’s races in the exposition
park yesterday were a big success.
There was a very large crowd present
and the new grand stand was filled
with ladies and their gentlemen escorts.
Quite a number of stylish traps were
on the grounds, and in them were
Rome’s most stylish people.
The weather was perfect and the
track was in prime condition, There
were no delays, no wrangling, but every
thing was run in a sportsmanlike man
ner.
In the 2:24 trot Stiles’ “Archie” was
a hot favorite, and lots of money was
placed on the little black. “Nubian W.’>
Anderson’s gallant bay horse, however,
had plenty of backers, and when he
came under ahead in the first heat the
board showed odds of 2 to 5 on him.
In the second heat there was consider
able trouble in getting away, but at the
word “go” Stiles flashed his brave little
black on the inside of the track and
away they shot around the course.
“Archie” was working like a clock but
“Nubbin W. ” broke his gait, and lost
several lengths before coming down.
They had almost completed the first cir
cuit. ahd “Archie” was going at a
whistling gait, when an unfortunate
accident put the beautiful and plucky
little animal out of the hunt. One of
the rubber tires to the sulky came off,
but the three quarters had almost been
reached before Stiles could stop the
brave nag, and only then by leaping to
his back. The result:
Nubbin W. first; Ella O. K„ second,
and Archie distanced on account of an
accident. Best time 2:26}.
The 2:30 pace was hotly contested,
but Robert F. won. The result:
Robert F. first; Hubert H. second;
Slipper, third. Best time 2:26},
The half-mile running dash was a
pretty one, and elicited more enthusiasm
than any event of the day. The result;
Lord Henry, first; Queen Mab, second;
Senator Haskell, third. Also ran. Chess
Rogan, Ollie G., Midway and Alabama.

COUNTY CHAINGANG.
Superintendent Hackney Doing Some
Very Fine Work in Watter’s District.
The county chaingang is now camped
six miles from Rome in Watter’s district.
The Calhoun road is being splendidly
macadamized, and the work will be con
tinued until completed to the Gordon
county line.
There are between 50 and 60 convicts
now under Superintendent Hackney, a
few of whom are females. Capt. Tom
Burney, in speaking of the matter yester
day, said:
“The class of work now being done
by Mr. Hackney is the very best, and we

folks up there are all smiles over the
prospect of a fine pike to Rome. The
material being used is gravel from Zuber
and Rush creeks. It is the best mac
adam you ever saw, and a big advantge
is that it does not have to be crushed,
but is spread over the roads, and soon
cements as bard and smooth as pavement.”
This road is the avenue to a large
amount of Rome’s trade, and the work
now being done will be of vast benefit to
this city.
