LARGE AND ENTHUSIASTIC MEETINC.
Selection of llelegntM to Attend til® State
Convention in Atlanta—Chairman
Uob Kisbet VVIni Additional
Lnureln-I’roceeillllgs.
The convention of the people of Bibb
county, called by the executive committee
for noon yesterday, at the court house,
was one of the largest gatherings of Dem
ocrats seen in a long time. Over three
hundred representative citizens had as
sembled, coming from all sections of the
county, and was composed of all classes of
citizens, representing almost every busi
ness, trade and profession.
A few minutes after the clock struck the
hour of 12, the meeting was called to order
by Hon. B. A. Nisbet, chairman of the
Bibb county Democratic executive com
mittee, who stated that the object of the
meeting was to name the delegates to at
tend the State convention to be held in
Atlanta on May 9th, which would select
delegates to the national convention to lie
held in Si. Louis, ilesaid ihst he would
also say that lie thought it proper to an
nounce at the next convention to name
delegates to the gubernatorial convention,
an executive committee for the ensuing
two years must be chosen.
Mr. Kisbet then said the first business in
order was the election of a chairman of the
meeting.
Mr. C. L. Bartlett put in nomination the
name of Mr. W. A. Davis.
Mayor S, R. Price nominated Mr. Kisbet,
the chairman of the executive committee.
Mr J. E. Schofield seconded the nomi
nation of Mr. Kisbet.
The chairman desired that by reason of
his position that some one be appointed as
temporary chairman until the matter was
disposed of, though in thus vacating the
chair it was not (or the purpose of accept
ing the nomination, lie called Mr. J. J.
A mason to the chair, who declined.
Mr. Geo. L. Mason moved that Mr.
Amos A. Rubers, a member of the execu
tive committee, be made temporary chair
man, which motion was carried unani-
nwinslv.
On the announcement of the question
then before the house by the chair, Mr.
Davis arose and said his nomination was
entirely unexpected and unsought for.
His /fiends, he said, had seen fit to nom
inate hits, /or which he was grateful hut
would beg to decline.
Mr. iiartiett saiii in vin, of the state
ment r..:.tie by Mr. Davis, he would second
the nomination of Mr. Ki-ii i, and moved
to elect him by acclamation.
The motion prevailed.
Mr. Kisbet then resumed the chair, and
after thanking the convention, announced
the next business to be the election of a
secretary.
Judge J. A. McManus moved that Bridges
Smith and John T. Boifeullet be made
•secretaries of the meeting, and the motion
was carried,
. ENDORSING THE AbHlNtStftATlON.
The convention liaVlftg been fully organ
ized, Mr. Washington Dessau offered the
following resolutions, which he said were
germain to the purposes of the conven
tion.
to-solved, That we. the Democratic party of
Bibb county In convention assembled, do here
to- ex|‘ri"S our indorsement o! the ada!n!*tr«-
tlon of tbe Federal government by President
Cleveland. We Indorae bis policy as set forth
i a his last annual message to tbe Congress of the
Culled cutes, and wo request onr State con
vention to sand delegates to tbe National Dem
ocratic convention wbo will Indorse the policy
ol the President, which policy we believe sad
(,-el u in fall accord with tbe true principles of
the I>cmocratic party.
He solved. That lb® growing surplus In the
Federal treasury is a growing evil, hurtlnl alike
to the industries of toe country and the liberty
and honesty of the people.
Beaolred, That Justice and sound policy de
mand a reduction of tbe growing surplus in tbe
Federal treasury by relonnlng the tariff rather
then by extravagant expenditures of public
-money.
Resolved. That correct Democratic principles
sre opposed to enriching one class or one section
at tbe expense of another through the agency of
Pel- ral legislation.
The resolutions were seconded by Messrs.
J. E. Schofield and C. L. Bartlett.
A BUBETtTCTE.
Maj. J. F. Hanson offered the following
as a substitute for the third paragraph in
tbe resolutions just read
Resolved, That ~
la mass meeting
*ago platform of —
ante of the national Democracy upon the ques
tions of Federal revenue# and taxation.
The resolution waa seconded by Msj. C.
A. Tbarpe.
Maj. Hanson said while he was on the
floor he would give his reasons for offering
the substitute. He did not object to Mr.
Dessau’s resolutions endorsing President
Cleveland in general terms, but he did ob
ject to the clause to which his substitute
referred. The real contest in this country
now, he said, is on the methods of revenue
taxation, and methods of how the sur
plus should be reduced. The Chicago
plktforn) recited the fact that from the
luuudetion cf the government, the custom
houses had been the chief source of reve
nue. If the Democratic party waacommit-
ted to this poliev, referring to tha Dessau
resolution, it will throw a firebrand into
the party that will create a division. It
will pledge the Democratic party to a re
duction of the surplus by a reduction of
the tariff.
Mr. Schofield said he was in hearty sym
pathy with the present administration of
the Federal government, and the safety of
the country depended on an endorsement
of it. , .
Mr. Dessau supported his resolutions,
whit h he said in the r preparation he had
endeavored to make terse and comprehen
sive, embodying true JVmocrntic doctrine.

elected, no democrat can. He also said
that Mr. Davis had displayed such mag
nanimity in declining the ,nomination for
chairman of the meeting in-order to secure
harmony, that he hoped he would be sent
as a delegate.
The chair-then was about to put the mo
tion to adopt the substitute, when Mr. J.
P. Boss moved to lay the substitute on the
table.
The motion was put, but before the re
sult was announced, Mr. Schofield called
for a division.
Major Hanson said that the ayes had
evidently carried it, and were he the pre
siding officer he .would so decide.
Mr. Schofield withdrew his call for a di
vision.
Mr. Kisbet said, to his mind, the ayes
had it; but, as he desired that both sides
should have a fair showing, he had paused
before announcing the vote. He then de
clared the substitute tabled.
The resolutions offered by Mr. Dessau
were then put and adopted.
SELECTION OF DELEGATES.
Mr. T. IT. Conner moved that A com
mittee of fifteen be appointed by the chair
to retire and select delegates to the State
Convention.
M r. Schofield moved as a substitute that
the delegates he elected viva voce.
The chair requested Mr. Conner to with
draw hi# motion and thus’relieve him from
a responsibility he did noi care to assume.
Mr. Bartlett moved that a committee of
seven be appointed by tbe chair to select
delegates ai.J report their names back to
tlie convention, (or ratification, proposing
that twelve delegates lie named.
Mr. Joseph H. Hall thought oa the
county was entitled to six votes only, a
less number would be better.
Mr. Bartlett’s motion prevailed, and the
chair appointed the following os the com
mittee :
C. L. Bartlett, R. E. Park,
J. E. Schofield, J. J. Amason,
C. M. Wiley, Jno. G. Deitz,
Thos. U. Conner.
The committee retired to the judge’s
room, and after remaining out a short
time, returned. Mr. Bartlett, as chairman,
reported that the folowing names had been
s leeted as delegates:
W. A. Davis, W. H. Felton, Jr.,
K. E. Park, M. Kussbaum,
C. L. Bartlett, 8. T. Coleman,
John McGolrick, S. B. Price,
Amos A. Bubers, J. E. Schofield,
F. If. Bichardson, C. W. Howard.
On motion, the report was received and
their selection endorsed.
The conven-ion then adjourned.
A JOUST ON LONDON UR1DOE.
A Scottish Knight tVlio Was Tender as lie
Was ltrave.
From St. Xicholtn.
Richard grew op (o be a tyrant over
both nobles and people; a king of pageants,
banquets and tournaments only, w ith no
thought but for his own pleasure and
glory. 1 should bo glad to dismiss him
now, i! It were not f&r two strange specta
cles which, during his reign, took place on
London bridge; one of them will prove of
especial interest to boys, the other will be
better liked by girls. It waa St. George’s
day, 1390, that King Bichard appointed
for the first of these spectacles. A Scottish
knight, named the Earl of Crnufort,
had a quarrel or some dispute with
au English knight who had been embassa
dor to Scotland, named Lord de Wells.
After the custom of those days a chal
lenge passed between them, and they were
to settle their difference by a passage of
arms. Such things were of considerable
moment to the parties concerned, even if
no more than a friendly struggle to see
which was the better man. Tournaments
were the great amusement of the day and
they were often held at Westminster.
Whether it was because one of the present
combatants was from another country and
the nearest to neutral ground was required;
or whether it was s whim of the King to
give the greatest possible number of peo
ple a chance of witnessing the fray, no
less dangerous a place was chosen for the
combat than London Bridge. Here, ac
cordingly, the lista were prepared. Tour
naments on the water with boats were fre
quent, as well as tournaments on land
with horses, but this waa to be on
neither land or water. Of course they had
no doubt that the English knight would
knock over the Scotchman, for the knights
of that country were not believed to be
formidable.
There waa a great array on the bridge,
the King and moat of his nobles being
present there; and the populace covered
the shore*. Lord Craufort rode into the
list* with twelve knight*, who had been
given a safe conduct to attend upon him.
When everything waa ready the signal was
given, they put spurs to their horses, and,
with their lancet in rest, met in a fearful
colliiion midway upon the bridge. The
lances were splintered, neither man dis
mounted, but the Scotchman sat as im
movable as a pillar ol iron. The English
man, though lie stood it well, looked for a
moment a little awry, like stall stove that
bad lost one of its feet. After they had re
covered their breath ami the EugUzhstnc
had been set uprightagain the two withdrew
for another charge. Again came the dash
and the clash and the splinters and the
dust and the horses on their haunches—
but there sat the two knights, the Scotch
man as firm u the parapet, but tbe Eng
lishman somewhat arched oTer his saddle
bow. Then they drew off again. It
surely the best joust of the year. _ For the
third time thev met But this time Lord
de Wells was hoisted out of his saddle and
landed on the hard pavement, like a mi
of old iron. He could not even hear the
cruel clang he made. Hit breath and
senses bad been knocked out of him. He
did not move a limb. Keither for an in
stant did the Scotchman, who, having
reined iu hi. horse, looked grimly down on
(he ruin he had made.
Such defeat would never do. The en
raged and ungenerous spectators raised the

FAST AS THE WIND.
The Race Horse of the Fu
ture a Great Animal.
THE RAISING OF THOROUGHBREDS.
An Instructive Clint with Col. S. D. llruce,
of tlie “Turf, Field nini;Fnrm”— Im
proving the Dreed—Undue
FlourlsIllnB Everywhere.
From tbe New York Mall.
A party of well-known racing men were
seated at dinner in the St. James Hotel, in
this city, tlie other night, when the subject
of fast time on the race track came up.
The unanimous opinion was expressed
that tlie race horse of the future will make
a record that will leave the “silks” of the
turf of the present day in the shade. Tlie
breeding, the fast tracks and the training
of the present time will develop a horse
that will leave all the racers of to-day in
the rear. Experiments are now being
made by race-horse owners to that end.
One of tlie best known men in the turf
world is Col. S. D. Bruce, of the Turf,
Field and Farm. His face is familiar on
every track in this country, and he is by
no means a stranger in the paddocks of tlie
Enropean race tracks. He can boast of
having occupied a seat in every judge’s
stand on the American race courses, and
lie has seen many of the old jockey clubs
drop out of existence. Colonel Bruce is a
Southerner. He is about sixty (years old,
tail and well built. He talks as familiarly
about thoroughbred horses as most people
do of tlie alphabet. He lias made a study
of horses, and, in addition to being
able to judge one and tell his
good or bad points, he can name the pedi
gree of any horse racing, and also tell tlie
pedigree of its sire and dam and speak of
their performances. He has handled
more horses in this country than anyone
else. He acted as auctioneer at the Kan-
cocas sale, when Mr. Lorill&rd’s horses
were sold for $1-10,000, and he sells most qf
the yearlings in the spring. Although the
colonel is so well posted, he docs not have
luck in backing winners. His bad luck is
proverbial, and if he gives a tip on a cer
tain horse most of the knowing ones will
back some other entry. They say he knows
too much, and that those who know- noth
ing of a horse, never heard of his sire or
dam. usually get the money.

country, and will continue to do to
very sorry to see the gamblers at the half-
mile (rack?, though, still .racing. They are
hurting racing a great deal, and it ought
to be stopped. The jockey clubs have
taken prompt action by the passage of tlie
half-mile law, and it will have a very good
effect on racing during the coming season.
It racing is to succeed it must be sutiport-
d by gentlemen not only of means, hut of
social position. The public must have
dence in the men who are at the head
airs.”
“Do you think the race horse of to-day
is very superior to those of twenty years
ago?”
“I do not. I think the race horse twenty
years ago waa as good as those seen racing
now. For instance, Boston, Lexington,
The Count and many others I could men
tion were as good, in my opinion, as Hin
doo or Hanover or any of the good ones of
the present day. Iu the days of Boston
the tracks were prepared very differently
from those of the present day. Kow the
tracks are made smooth and hard. In
those days they were about six ;
inches * deep in loam and
sand. This, of course, made them
slower, and made it much harder for the
horse to travel over. The races, too, were
not like the present ones. There were not
so many, and the chief events were long
distance ones, and heat races, too, at that.
Three and four mile heats were the most
Kipular races. Kow, you know how try-
ng a heat race is, especially when some of
the races take three neats to decide. Dur
ing his career on the turf, Boston won
thirty four mile heat races and nine at
three mile heat*. In hi* famous race with
Fashion at four mile heats, when nine
years old, rnn over the Union course, Long
Island, for $20,000 a aide, he has beaten in
tbe fast time of 7.32A and 7.45.
Boston was the sire of such
good ones as Lexington, Attila
Madeline (grandam of Iroquois), and many
others. The preparation a horse went
through in those days was very severe.
There being only a few races run, of cour,i
much care should be exercised. They wen-
worked very much with blankets to 'reduce
the flesh, and were brought to the post
with their muscle* well developed and
clean in the wind. Look at Lexington,
the Lest race horse America ever produced.
In his great race to beat 7:26 for four
miles for $25,000 he ran the first mile in
1.47J, the second in 1:62j, the third in
1:51 j and the last in 1:48|, beating the
record by 6J seconds. He tan the eighth
J uarter of a mile twenty-four seconds
aster than many sprinten can go now.”
“It the raising of thoroughbreds Ivoe-
pering in this country?”
“Very much. To give yon an idea, just
look at the ‘American Stud Book.’ Tin-
first number w» published twenty vc.-irs
ago. The fifth volume will be brought
out this year, and in that time it has in
creased tenfold. More money has lieen
made by the Western farmers in rui-lng
race horses than iu any other stock. The
amount of capital invested in tUshiiiM -
flesh i* enormous, and the industry is in
creasing all the time.”
IMPROVING THE BREED.
“Do sou think importing hi
England and oth*r countries is ii

“Ye*; when the right kind

race horse, and lias done well in the stud.
I think, though, that if he had been sent
to one of the Kentucky farmers he would
have done better, tit. Blaise, brought
over bv Mr. Belmont, is a good one. He
made his mark on the turf, comes of - good
racing family and should do well in the
stud. His yearlings will be taken up this
year. Ryau d’Or, at Mr. Scott’s farm, is
the most expensive stallion in the country,
lie chat $40,000 and I think will prove a
great sire. Last year his two-year-olds
distinguished themselves, and I think his
get will continue to improve now. A
horse nevsr does so well the first season he
is in the stud. After a few years of racing
he is exhausted, and it takes a year or so
for him to recover. It is for this reason
that I expect to see some of the young
sire# do well in the next few years. A
great many mares from good racing fam
ilies much improved our racers here. Mr.
Keene has a number of mares of good rac
ing lineage from England and France. Mr.
Belmont, Gov. Stanford, Mr. Scott and
others have the same. Mr. Lorillard
brought over such good mares as Angen-
oria. Second Hand, Genista, Gondola,
Blairgowrie and Highland Lassie. These
gentlemen did not pick up'any horse that
was offered for sain for £50. Theysen* over
and procured mares that they thought
would do well here. In 1860 the Ken
tucky Importing Company brought over a
very fine lot of marcs.”
“What breed do you think will produce
the coming race horse?”
“That is hard to say. The Billets and
Hindoos are doing well now, and judging
from the prices realized at the yearling
sales, they are the most valuable in the
country. Just now they are very popular
with the public on account of Hanover.
The Glenelys are very popular. They
have the best legs and feet of any horses
on the turf. Eolus is now a good sire, and
this year his yearlings will sell well. Eu
ros and Exilian have boomed him. If a
stallion gets a good race
horse there is a rush directly to get
one of his yearlings, and turfmen never
forget the one good one he got. Iroquois,
I think, will make his mark. One of his
three-year-oids will race during the com-
ingseason. Pizarro would have been a
great sire. He died a few da vs ago. Luke
Blackburn has not done muefi yet, but he
should do better in the futue, and so
should Bramble. King Alphonso, Great
Tom. Powhatan and Glengarry are all
good ones.”
“What do you expect of Tremont?”
•‘Tremont was a great ract horse, and if
lie gets one as good as himself he will do
well.”
