Took the Twonty Thousand Dollar
Century Stake* at Shcopshcad Bay.
NEW YORK. Sept. 3.—Hof ore a
■crowd of 25.000, stalwart, at 0 to 2,
won the $20,000 Century stakes, one
mile and u half, ot Shcepshead Bay
today. defeating the 11 to 2 favorite,
Ortweils. In one of the closest finishes
of the year. The time, 2:311*5,ris a
new track record, two flfths of the sec
ond faster than the best previous ‘
ord made by Water lh*y l iM year. The
Drake-Gates combination bet a small
fortune on Ortwella, the Dihke report
forcing his price down from 4 to 5 to
11 to 20. Thomas In the meanwhile
was placing ,hls money on Stalwart,
price dropped from 6 to 1 to 9 to
previous efforts. The various labor day
committees have been at work fer tho
past several months and their, .efforts
have all met with merited success. The
business as well as the laboring classes
have helped the various committees In
their work. In fact, everything has
worked together and harmoniously and
the people of Macbn may expect a glo
rious celebration of the day here.
The people of Macon are looking for
ward to the celebration of Labor Day
this year with a great deal of pleasure
for*they realise what a gigantic treat
.s In store for them. All preparations
for the various features of the celebra
tion have been arranged with minuto
care and not n detail that might ddd to
the enjoyment of the day has been neg
lected.
Particular Interest attaches Itself to
the speaking and the athletic Contests.
The speeches that are to be delivered
will be made In tbb afternoon and fol
lowing them will come the long list of
athletic events.
The opening and welcome address on
behalf of the Central Labor Union and
the city of Macon will be delivered by
Mayor Bridges Smith. Mr. W. T. An
derson will reply. President J. O. Me
Mlllnn of the Macon Labor Union wll
preside during the speaking and wll
introduce the iipeakers of the day.
The Indications are that one of the
largest crowds In the history of Central
City park will visit the resort tomor
row. The management of the grounds,
acting in conjunction with one of tho
committees, has perfected every ar
rangement for handling the people. The
park has throughoutt he summer been
in nn admirable condition for a celebra
tion of the kind as has been proven by
the lnrge numbers of picnics and out
ings that have been held there of lata. .
The services of the Second regiment
band, under th directorship of Mr. II.
Moll, has been secu - \ During the cel
ebration this band, which has the repu
tation of being one of the best in the
state, will render appropriate music.
One of the features of the day will bo
the gigantic basket dinner that is to be
served In the buildings and upon tho
grass. Several hundreds of roomy bas
kets have already been sent In filled to
overflowing with the most dainty of
eatables. Five hundred pounds of ice
ahev been contributed by the Macon Its
Company to be used for making Ice wa
ter and keeping cool the lemonade and'
provisions.
It Is expected that a large number of
out-of-town residents will be In the
city tomorrow to attend the exercises
it the park and to contest for many of
the handsome prizes offered.
The long string of inducements that
have been donated my the leading mer
chants nnd grocers of Macon and to -be,
awarded to the winners in tho events of
the afternoon Is possibly one of tjie
leading features of the day. The prizes
amount to many hundred dollars. In ad
dition to & number of cash donations to
be handed to winning contestants hun
dreds of articles of merchandise nnd
clothing have been donated by Macon
citizens. In this respect the storekeep
ers of the city have been very bountiful.
Not only will the first man to cross
the line, Jump the farthest, or leap the
highest, secure a reward for his feat.
To the second man or runner up there
will be a prize offered. In many of
the contests three prizes have been ar
ranged for.
The gentlemen elected by the com
mittee on the athletic end of the cele
bration la one that Is fully able to Judge
correctly, even to the slightest detail,
the various events. It was only after
a deal of discussion that the Judges
were agreed upon, as 1 f la the desire
of those In charge of the day to hnvo
everything done In the beat possible
manner.
Since The Telegraph published a list
of the prizes and their doners a few
days ago, three valuable additions have
bee/i received by the Central Labor
Union. The Acme Brewing Company
has donated a large cask of Malt Tonic
nnd a cask of American Queen beer.
The Macon Ice Company sent 500 I
pounds of Ice. It Is expected that a (
few additional prizes will yet be re
ceived by the committee.
The merchants of the city have been
requested to close'their places of bus
iness at an early hour, If not for the
entire day. A large proportion of the
merchants hnvo already complied with
the request, as >they themselves see
the fitness nnd appropriateness of the
request. All the offices In the city
hail will be closed and all the members
of the city council and employes of the
city have been Issued special Invita
