The last day of the Eugeuo meet of the North Pacific- Racing Association dawned with the same bright prospects of the three proceeding days. The day was somewhat cooler and a stiff breeze prevailed at the park. Four timet as many people were preseutas any previous day. and the beuches were full for the first time. A grand mount of all tho horses In atteudauce upon tho races, and a hurdle race had bveu advertised us tho side attlractlous of the day were the meant of inducing a great many people to attend.

Only 7 or 8 horses out of tho 75 or 60 iu attendance were paraded to the disappointment of the big crowd which had been promised the largest and finest display of horsetlcah that had ever been seen l:i the Jurisdiction of the Northwest Association. The only excuse for omitting this part of the program seemed to' bo m the fact that the norsemen were too slow or did not care to come out w Hli their animals. TWO YEAR OLD IJA.HH ONE HALF MILE.

DRIFT. Writes a Very Inierostiug Letter I'ju cernliig t hicum luivrrsiiy. It Is a prevailing opinion that I dcago I uivcndiy has a huloarouud It. The fact that it Is new newer than the New Woman -does not serve to dim the lambent brightness of Its Intellectual aureole. Most of Chicago's mammoth Institution are new und money cau work wonders when the supply It practically unlimited. VS here three years ago this summer, the shouts of the canal drivers echoed In t!.a streets of Cairo, aud dark eyed hourls luugulshed in tiie shadowy re cetset of the Turkish booths, where the gay, good-natured crowd of World's Fair visitors swept and surged like a great human river that touched Uhii the shores of every land, stands now the Chicago University. The grass grows green and soft as velvet along aod over wh it was once the Midway Plaslauce. Instead of th fantastic walls and towers that m ute up that magic wouder-place rise from emerald lawns stately balls of learning that eclipse In aichlteeural dignity all of the older schools and universities on this side of the Atlantic. "How Is It possible?" asked the wo man who always wants to know everything. "How It it possible that such spluudld structuies could htve been built In so brief a space of time'."' "Well," replied the bright young man, "It was all done by coal oil. It Is sustained by kerosene." "I don't quite understaud," said the woman, looking puzzled. "My friend, Mr Rockefeller, could explain It to your satisfaction do doubt." "Oh!" said the woman, "I see and I think it it a splendid thing for Chlctgo that Mr Rockefeller has to much money. read the other day that his Income was nearly two thou sand dollars every hour ol the day and uight." "Representing," remarked the bright young man, "to many thousands ot gallons of crude petroleum." "The vulgarity of wealth," re marked the third pcrsou present. Tne womau looked huIvo. "Mr Rockefeller ought to go over to Eng land and get knighted like Sir George Pullman," she said. There Is plenty of room in the Chics go University ground for a modsnt city to spring up. But It will bt when built a classic city of gray stone. Already eight tall uud ttately structures lift their Gothic gnbtes cloudward, but this is only tho begin ning. And this suggestion of breath and spaoe anil "elbow room" Is char acteristic of the university life. There are no narrow grooves, no restrictions of personal opinion, no trying to mould the student to tit some cnive;i lionul cut and dried conception. There It pefect freedom of thought, speech and actiou. Personal liberty Is reoog- nized as a natural right. There uro no rules not one. The students are self governed, self trained. I toes this seem to savor ol luwlessiiessr You w ill find nothing of the klud here. The atmosphere of the place Impiesses oue as cultured mid urtistlo. sweet and unpretentious. Co-educa tion is something Ideally realized at oue sees it In the Chicago University. There are three halls given over to the use of the young womr.i. In each hull there are aliout forty girls. And there Is nothing in the least suggestive of a dormitory to be found anywhere within the wans. iney are nomes. The bead ot the house is a niemlier of the faculty, but the young women manage everything to suit themselves. Everv Monday evening at one or another of these homes a reception is held to w hich all of the students arc Informally Invited. Monduy I the weekly holiday of the university, In stead of Saturday. Anything more enjoyable than a Monduy reception at f oster nail is roreiy experienced in sociul life. There Is un air of refine ment about these young people, an unpretentious dignity and a certaiu sweet cordiality that compels respect and admiration. iney are wen diessed. There Is always the conven tional black of the gentlemen at a background for the bright colore and tasteful attire of their comrades and fellow-students the young women. There Is no lack of brilliant conversa tion, of IlKht, bright talk, but there Is a noticeable absence or line ciiatiur. Everybody has something to say and says It well. "Ideal association of tbe sexes has found a practical working every day verity ut issi, or i urn dreaming: ' declared toe woman who was interested lu tveryiuing new. "Yes," replied the bright young man, "and you may consider yourself very much awake whenever you are within the sacred precincts of Chicago Uni versity." "Sacred:" ejaculated tne tnir.i per son present, "privileged wouiu ut a tietter word privileged precincts, that sounds well." But neither the wumsn nor tho bright young man paid any attention to the remark, so the Irrepressible third per-on con tinued: "I have It on good au'iioniy that while the under graduates give little trouble, tbe professors ure very difficult to manage." , , "Why, what do you mean.'" asaeu the woman. "Oh nothimr. only it has not been dulto three years sinee the ground was OroKoll lor ine loununumi 01 umj mum remarkable Institution of .earning and already six of Us professors have mar ried university students." Suppose they nave," repueu me woman. "1 am sure iney nave mu u their good taste." "Certainly they nave," exciuimeu il... l.rlirht Totimr man. "I should like " but the woman looked at him and ho did not finish the sen tence. Drowsed. James Beard, an un married man, ngd about Z'i years was drowned Thursday forenoon iu the Ingram slough, about four miles uorth of Junctlou. In company with Lee Ingram they were fording the slough In a wagon when It Isoume uncoupled throwing the occupants into the wuter. Ingran managed to leach the shore, but Beard was drowned. Tbe body had not been recoveied at last account. Tbe horses wore saved. C'omplimkntarv.

The right of franchise is being exer cised throughout the state today, aud by tomorrow, lu most localities at least, It will le knswn who tbe men are tlml will administer to our state, county and precinct sflulrs for the liext two years. lu this county things are decidedly mixed this year, and lots of "scratch ing" is doubtless being dime In evory precinct today. Several issues are at stake and serve to divide the votes of all parties, lle-ides eople are coming lothal polut whole they vote more for the man and less for the party tlitu they used to do. lu this city the eleetlou is passing elf very quietly aud all Is serene. Considerable electioneering, however, Is being done ou Ihe quiet. Nine or ten livery carriages and u few private rigs have Iks.' 1 1 placed In service by the ditlcreut factious to eonvsy voters to and I roiu tbe polls. It is said that money U Mug used In favor of some of the candidates though probably I u very limited amounts, as the Aus tralian l.allot system practically does away with vote-buying. Tbe schem ing politician has no assurance that ills subject will vote us desired when he gets in the booth, and Is reluctant to part with his "boodle" on such an uueeitulu investment. Owing to the "mixed" condition In which political mutters now are, it Is impossible to form any Idea of the outcome with any degree of correct ness. The hardest fights In this county are ou the senatorial question and the clerk's aud sheriffs olllees. It Is sbld that son e sacrifices are lielng made and that trading la being done on Johnson, Jennings and Driver. Bllyeu, democrat, tor representative is receiving a great ninny republican voles, also SM'neer. Very little betting is being done on the outcome.
