Lexington, Ky., Oet. 12.—Last night's rain caused the track to be heavy and a fall in the mercury made the day very disagreeable for racing. In consequence the attendance was the lightest of the meeting. Charles Marvin won the de ciding heat with Utility In the 2:14 trot, and as the going was bad next to the pole 2:19 was considered good lime. Pel erine earned second money, Celerima third and Silena F. fourth. Twenty trotters lined up for the word in the 2:18 class, with Lee Simmons se lected as the most likely winner. He did not figure in the fray, while Bad Actor proved quite a race horse and won in straights. Avana proved a disappointment to her backers in the 2:26 trot. Price did not have the move for the first heat with her and Geers won in a close finish with Corlllo by making a brilliant drive, beat ing out Forester and Earle Baltic by a slender margin. In the next heat Corlllo and Avana, the original choice, made the fight, but the New York horse was best quite handily in the last two.

Sella Bros-, circus attracted a large crowd to the city yesterday and enter tained them with two very creditable performances. Sells Bros.’ have been on the road many years, and the aggrega tion of riders, trapeze performers. Jug glers, tight rope walkers, acrobats and the other various features that go to make up a tirst-class circus, are well known to the public. The two performances yesterday, one in the afternoon and the other at night, were up to the usual standard main tained by the Sells’ for the past several years. The Immense crowds that gath ered under tlie tents seemed well pleased with the amusements there seen. There were a few new features pre sented, which udded to the attractiveness of the show. With Sells Bros, this season is Mr. John Lowlow, the world-renowned clown, whose name Is yet familiar to the boys of thirty years ago. Mr. Lowlow is only 56 years old, but having been in the cir cus business nearly all of his life and traveled the wide world over he is con sidered the oldest, as well as the clever est, clown living. He is quite a clever gentleman and met many old friends in Birmingham. It has been several years since he last traveled In the south, but his absence has not weakened his mem ory of his old frlt'lrds and inquires par ticularly after them. He was exceed ingly sorry to hear of the death of HU Itor Richardson of the Columbus (Cla.) Enquirer-Sun, whom he had known in Savannah years ago. As Mr. Lowlow is now passing through the south a short sketch of his history may prove interesting: Lowlow was born In Savannah, Ga.. In 1841, and' is therefore 54 years of age. He was left an orphan early in life and be gan his career when but a boy. His guardian tried to control him and sent him to school at various places, but he tarried at each but a day or two. Final ly he was sent to the Fnlversity of North Carolina when about 12 years of age. He and Henry and Tom Tate, he says, got away from there by tiding off on a man’s ox wagon, and for three months no one knew where he or the wagon was. Fi nally he ran away one day In Savannah, accompanied by Colonel Kstell, the pres ent editor and proprietor of the Savan nah Morning News, and went to the cir cus. Ho liked the crowd and life and at tached himself to the show as lemonade seller. Mr. Estell, however, soon grew tired and returned to his home in Savan nah, where he has since established the Morning News, one of the ablest and best paying newspapers in the south. That soon got too tame and he went to old John Robinson, the showman, and told him he wanted to be an actor. He asked him what he could do. He told him, so Robinson told him to go In the ring; he did so and at his first appear ance did a mld-alr act. His experiences from that on would fill a book and are as interesting as any novel. After be coming associated with the Robinsons— and that was in 1856—he never left them but once, and then only for a short time, until he Joined Sells >wo weeks ago. and lias since been drawing a salary of $125 a tveek. He married a lady from TTtica, N. Y., and has a beautiful home, costing $14,000, In Cleveland, O. He has one son— a lawyer—28 years of age, who is married and living In Cleveland.
