SOME BECORD BREAKING RACES
Tha Trotting Racord of G.orgla B.otan
br a K.ntucky Mara—Big Baaaa
Today and Many Othar af
tha Graataat Kind of
Attractions.
Tho second wen of tlio Dlxlo Inter
state I-'alr opened with a most encour
aging attendance. While It la not fair
to hazard a guess, and there are no
official figures to go by, it la almost
safe fo say that double (he number of
people were at Central City Park that
attended the exposition on any day last
week.
They came'from everywhere. 'From
Iho montalns of north Georgia 'came
the man who has seen frost this win
ter wearing an overcoat for fear the
weather would mako him feel uncom
fortable. There was tlio man from
middle Georgia who knew just wbat
the weather would be and ho brought
along his wife and babies in the good
old-fashioned country style, and they
nil enjoyed tho show. There was tbo
pretty girl from the region of Okefe-
nokce who wears summer dresses nil
the year and never feels the need of
anything else unless It be the lovo of
the rustic swain who came along jelth
her and held her hand ns they marched
through tho region of sldo shows and
oriental dancers.
They were all here, they all enjoyed
themselves and they are nil going' to
be here today and enjoy thepiselves
even more than they did yesterday.
They have como with one purpose—
that of enjoyment—and ns lonfas that
money which came from the sale of
five cents cotton holds out they are go
ing to stay here and hnv6 dll' (he fun
they can and they couldn't tind a bet
ter place to spend that cotton money.
They can gazo upon tho products of
Georgia's soil—upon com and c.1110,
pumpkins and potatoes, cotton and
S alt and everything else that grows
a: country where God's sun shines
more brightly and where His showers
descend more seasonably and His soil
is more fruitful than anywhere pIso
upon this groat big earth. It Is enough
—all this—to make them feel more
deeply In lovo with old Georgia, to for
get for one week the bustle a ml turmoil
of business lifo and labor aud the strife
and seufflo of politics, to turn their
liacks ou all these things and to thank
providence that they are allowed to
live In such n country.
But then they all saw a great deal
more than Georgia products. They
saw exhibits of machinery ond of
everything under tho sun from, every
where on tho American continent—and
they saw all thoso great freo attrac
tions that a generous management 1ms
provided for visitors of all classes. They
saw Phiton defy the laws of gravita
tion. They saw Granada walk across
ft wire a hundred feet high with his
feet hobbled In a pair of wooden bas
kets. They saw tho Dacomas play
with their lives on a delicate bicycle
balanced on a half-inch wire rope. They
heard Henry Card’s band In Its unique
ond catchy Coney .Island concert, and
they hoard the Sanford Sisters in their
wonderful renditions—anil It didn't
cost much, either. They all wont to
tho Midway and hoard tho follow with
tho brazen lungs and tho army mus
ket. They heard tho lions roar and
they saw tho painted beauties of tho
oriental theatres and tho Irish village
disporting themselves fn.dlvfded skirts
and they saw tho living pictures, and
last but not least they saw Pompeii
and tho wonderful fireworks that lit
up tho old ball park last night—and
they enjoyed It all and went homo,
satisfied with what they got for their
money.
IT WAS ATLANTA DAT.
Yesterday was Atlanta day. but At.
l»nt* was not very much In evidence.
Maybe the people who live up shore
In the city by the Kimball thought It
-wasn't worth while to spend their
money to get down to 'Macon for the
fair, hut thfy missed It. The tramps
up there who seized that freight train
the other night and came to the Dixie
Fair whether or no exhibited low of
sense. They knew a good thing when
♦hey heard about It and they were tc-
termlnod not to miss It, although they
had no money and ran the risk of do
ing time on the chalngang.
There were a good many lUlsntlans
here, however, and they enjoved the
fair. Capt- Evan Howell couldn't get
nway from the legislature long enough
to make that speech without the free
coinage In It, and the people here Were
sorry; hut If he'll just hustle Bacon
along up there thcyMI promise to ex
cuse him for this tittle slip. Bui he
should have come, for the Midway
beats all the legislatures 111 thcw/orM
for a man of the captain's “tempera
ment.
THE RACING. .
And then. Capt. Howell, yon missed
the races. You didn't know the Geor
gia trotting record was going lo be
broken and that pacer* were going
•o sidle aroudd the finest of mile truck?
In time that would almost make your
hair stand on end-lf you're-nct bald-
headed. As the boys said, the races
yesterday were real, old-time "hois
races."
The first event on the card-was the
2J5 pace and the purse was 8500. Fly-
' log Prince. Frankie D. and Stockholder
were the candidates and they did some
floe work.
ia the first two team Flying Prion
led front the wire arid was pushed only
by Frankie D., who showed her same
ness when urged along by the rat
tling of the chain that was carried by
Driver Whitehead. But the Prince was
ihe horse for the money and he won
out In each heat. In the third heat his
princely highness was wrong, or
Driver Riley was wrong, and he came
In third, Frankie D. winning the heat
and Stockholder geKing a close sec
ond. The Irhlges thought the fault lay
with the driver more than with the
horse, and Driver Nuckles took the
Prince the next dime and drove sec
ond and In the last heat beat Frankie,
who broke in the stretch, and .won the
money. Stockholder In all the heats
xcept the third raced lost to the other
(horses.
But the event of the day was the
•trotting race for 4-yenr-old. for^ stake
of 5700. in which Nubbin W.. the Geon
gla-ralsdJ horse, went against the
Kentucky mare, Olllc K., and was
beaten In three successive heats. But
Ofile K.'s owners have Uttlo to exult
over, for Nrihbln W. Bhowed that the
■wire graas country can raise horses
as well as the blue grass country. In
each heat the horses had beautiful
starts and went neck and neck around
the track snd Ollle K. won In the
stretch each time. She always re-
.«ponded to the urging of her driver
and did her best sird that best was
just a wee bit better than a horse has
ever done on this track or on any track
in Georgia. In 1801 Valentine on-the
same track made the Georgia record
of 2:50 1-2, and a year later Trevllllan
went a quarter of & second bettenund
set .the pace for Georgia’s trotters nt
2:20 1-4. But Ollle K. has overturned
these two Idols of turtmbn. and yes
terday, with little urging In the first
heat/ went under the string JJ '-jJ
flat, and If Nubbin had not broken In
the stretch ho might have made the
time a quarter of a second fastcr.
The running race was a gift for I. c.
TV... who ted from the start and came In
just as he went under the w!re-nhout
two lengths in front of Darius- The en
tries In this race were I. C. W.. Darius.
*Ed. Butts. Lake Shore und Jllsun. ami

(Atlanta, Oct. 23.-(Spccinl.)-Tho

tho Populists. They began to wrlgglo
this morning under the strength of
the majority arid showed their feelings
plainly when the following request was
presented, by Mr. Ilogau of Lincoln,
one of tbo Populist members:
To tho Speaker and the Memliers of

In behalf of over 100,000 voters of

HOW IT WAS TREATED.
Mr. -Humphries of Brooks, as soon,
the reauest had been read, rose to a
point t>£ order, lie held that unotJ'rulo
23 iw member can enter a prcMSV
against ihe notion of the house, but
that the protest shall not be Iri'itho na
ture of an argument and neither shall
it Impugn the potion of itho house. Un
der this rule. Mr. Humphries claimed
the reauest could not be Considered, ns
It Impugned the action of the bouse.
Mr. I logon explained thart It was Sim
ply a. reauest for leave of absence. It
•was net a protest ag,v!n.«t tho house,
but against the action of tho caucus.
Speaker Fleming ruled that it iwus a
privileged question, and hence It r .UBt
bo consider,'xl at once. He hold It there
was a protest in It It could not he en
tered on the Journal of the house.
Mr. Humphries waited tho protest
stricken out of tho communication.
“Mr. Hogan Insisted that it was not n
protest except a,gainst tho action of tho
caucus. "Wo Simply nek leave of ab-
renco.” said be. "as wo don'e believe
•tho Judiciary of the ntatc should go Into
partisan politics."
Jlr. Holland of Cobb moved to grant
the rooucst and let the gentleman gu.
Mr. Rockwell of Clayton could ncc
no reason for granting tho request. It
was nothing less than a protest against
the house. He thought when gentle
men came asking for leavo of absence
hey should present somo good reason
for It. He thought there was no good
reason for this request and-It should
be refused.
Mr. Holland said the request was
a reflection on the house. The house
could get along without these gentlemen
and he thought they ought to bo al
lowed to leavo.
“Mr. Rockwcl thought that was just
why they should bo made tomtay.
Mr. Mell of Clarke thought If these
men haM been sent here to represent
100,000 peope they should t>o made to
stay and perofrm tlielr duty.
JONES CAUSED APPLAUSE.
Mr. Jones of Dough »ty <»u*d
burst of applause by a resolution intro
duced by himself as ft substitute for
the motion of Mr. Holland. It was that
the Populist members have leave o
absence as often aud aa long as they
desired, provided, that their per diem
be deducted from their pay as long*«
they -were not present to attend to
their business. . .
(Jlr. Holland accepted tho substitute
Mr. Harrison of Quitman moved to
lay the whole business on the table.
Mr. Boyd of McDuffie (Populist)
called for the nyes and nay*. The call
wn» overwhelmingly vote ddown.
Tho house .then laid the request on
the table.
Tho Populist* had their revenge,
though. They sat In their sent* all dur
ing the session, seeming oblivious of
tho fact that there wna nn election go
ing on about them. Not one of them
voted for eny of the Judges.
Senator Nat Harris nominated Judge
T. J. Simmons for chief Justice. He
was elected for the unexplred term of
six years from January 1, 1892.
Senator Wilson Dominated Judge
Spencer Atkinson for the unexpinxl
term of bkxocHio Justice, and lie was
elected, he was also elected for the
full term.
Hon. J. L. Hardeman was nominated
by Jlr. Giles of Houston for the unex-
plrod term of Judge Bartlett of the
Jtacon drcfilt. He was elected for that
und also tho full term.

inated Hon. E. H. Calloway for Judge
of the Augusta circuit, and lto was
elected.
Jlr. W. A. McDonald of Ware nom
inated Hon. J. L. Sweat for Judge of
the Brunswlek circuit. He was elected
and then the Joint ssnloa dissolved
until 3 o'clock and the house adjourned
until a quarter before three.
A reauest for le»ve of abser.ee was
also presented In the senate by the Pop
ulists. but it wss -tabled.
