AUGUSTA’S BEST TRIUMPH;
. HORSE SHOW BRILLIANT
ADMIRATION AND APPLAUSE
LAVISHED UPON BEAUTIFUL
SPECTACLE AT COUNTRY CLUB
GROUNDS.
ARRANGEMENTS PERFECT
Magnificent Animals on Exhibition.
Display One of Best Ever Presented
in South—Winners In Contests.
Congratulations for Management.
Augusta has had many beautiful
outdoor exhibitions that have entitled
her to a high rank among the cities
that are known for their wonderful
open air entertainments, but it is safe
to say that not any of her elaborate
carnivals, not one of her famous May
pageants, has called for the admira
tion spontaneously accorded the scene
presented at the Country club grounds
yesterday.
In compliment to the club, the col
ors chosen for the Horse Show were
blue and yellow, and in compliment to
her favorite daughter, Augusta, Dame
Nature adorned herself in the chofteu
colors, draping every tree and bush in
the club grounds with a mantel of yel
low jessamine, veiled in a still finer
web of early April sunshine. The
women brought the violets to com
plete the color scheme —great, long
stemmed bunches of them of glowing
brightness and heavy with the weight
of their intoxicating perfume. But not
ail the color and warmth and life and
beauty of the scene lay in the lovely
blossoms. Almost all of jt was con
centrated In the women whe were pres
ent.
To begin with, there was a most
attractive stage picture set for the
afternoon's drama. There had been
chosen for the ring a place where a
line of firs and pines and other more
luxuriantly-leaved trees formed a ver
dant background for the gaily dec
orated boxes and the gleaming white
tents, in which the fine horses were
given shelter. It was not long after
the opening before the entire line of
boxes and the long row of seats on
the other side had blossomed Into a
perfect, saturnalia of color and inex
pressible lovellneess. It was stated
that the women did not wear the costly
'■owns they had planned for the occa
sion had the weather proven a little
'’inore certain, but certainly nothing
could have been more effective and be
coming than the many dainty suits of
colored cotton and linen and the no
less chic tailor gowns of white flan
nel or grey mixtures, accompanied by
the most fascinating hats covered
with flowers or adorned with wings.
Probably the pfleet was really belter
than if laces, silks and chiffons had
been adhered to. At any rate there
was nothing to be desired to make
perfect the picture, either in that part
which showed up the beauty of the
women and the fashion of the gowns,
or that in which was conspicuous the
charm which belongs solely to a
blooded horse.

SHAMOKIN, Penna., March 31. —
Hundreds of miners in this field did

Not Much Felt There.
PITTSBURG. March 31.—The adop
tion of the Perry resolution by the
miners' convention permitting the op
eration of all mines where the wage
scale of 1903 is accepted means that

miners in the Pittsburg district will
continue work, with possibly a shut
down to work off accumulated stock.

the Farmers’ Union, of Georgia, from
tile privileges of second-class matter
postage rates.
In his formal reply to the resolution
of Inquiry which the house passed
Postmaster General Cortelyou explain
ed to the house that. In the Judgment,
of the department the Union News Is
not a newspaper of general clreulatlon
as the regulations require, but. is
rather "designed primarily for adver
tising purposes, that it was conducted
to advertise and promote the commer
cial interests of he Farmers’ Union of
c.eorgla. and the individual members
i. uereof.”
This statement of the postmaster
general was based on the report of
the third assistant postmaster general
who has charge of that phase of the
department’s work.
Senator Clay and Messrs. Lee and
Bartlett argued with Mr. Maddon that
this decision was based on a clear
misconception of Its character- had
been passed upon by the department,
which accorded It second-class rates,
when It was published as a bi-weekly,
and that it Is Just as much a news
paper as many of those now accord
ed the privileges it seeks as a weekly,
Mr. Maddon promised to go into
the matter again.

When Gen. John B. Gordon Was a

ATLANTA, (la., March 31.—The
Atlanta Constitution affects to be In
deepest distress—over Hoke Smith's
refusal to declare himself as between
Bacon anil Watson. It hears that, there
are deep tears over the coming loss
to Georgia of one of Its incumbent,
senators.
And the Atlanta Journal is tearing
up air nailing an "artful dodger”—get

votes of Clark Howell when l’at Cal

Word From Washington.
Mr. J. K. Ohl writes the Constitu

30, as follows:
‘Hoke Smith's refusal to declare

question put him at Gumming, has
created a profuond Impression In
Georgia circles here, and the construc

Watson's own boast in the November
Issue of his magazine that he could

Irrespective of party affiliations, such
as Smith and his populist supporters
advocate, some democrats believe
that a deal Is on to bring Watson out
as a candidate for the senate either
against. Senator Bacon or against
Senator Clay.
“If it should not he deemed prudent,
to show their hand by permitting Wat

their plans to bring him out. against
Senator Clay should they by any
chance succeed In their efforts to se
