Mr. Howell had been in poor health
for several years, and his ailment con

A complication of maladies, united with
the Infirmities incidint to old age, re
sulted in r:$ death at the time men
tioned. Although bis characteristic
mod sty prevented him from taking an
active pari in public affairs during his
life, he was very well and favorably
known, especially among the older citi
z »ns. To those who knew him well, he
was a genial friend and companion, and |
during his long business career his in-1
ugrity was never questioned. It was to
•Lh:s tact, as well as his excellent judg
ment and business tact, that he owed his

Dash—Four Races for To-Day,
Besides the Unfinished Trot.
The lovers of racing got racing on th*
Fair grounds, yesterday, until they
ought to have been ready to hallo
enough.
Instead of being satisfied, however,
more than a thousand excited men were
about the grand stand at a quarter after
seven last night, clamoring for a seventh
heat of the 2:24 trot.
It was too dark for the horses to go,
however, and aft r Starter Lehman had
said, at seven o’clock, the race would be
finished, he was forced to announce a
postponement.
There were four events on the pro
gramme, and every one was a daisy. 1
The attendance was very large for the
second day of the racing, some estimat
ing the crowd as more numerous than
ever before, on the same day, at a
Wheeling Fair. This is perhaps a little
strong, but not a very bad exhibition of
judgment. The weather was perfection,
being slightly warmer than Tuesday,
while there was no wind, and therefore
no blow.ng dust. The track was in good
condition without being In strictly fine
shape, and the time made was very sat
isfactory. except towards the last o* the
big trot, where the horses got a little
played as is shown by the figures foi the
sixth heat. Two slight accidents oc
curred, but -in each case the drivers es
caped personal injury, and there was
but slight damage to the rigs.
The details will be found below:—
THE 4*4 FURLONGS DASH.
There were four entries for this race—
Hipona, Farley, Morrissey and Lottie
Hunter. Farley and Hunter were abo.u
equal favorites, the bookmakers offonng
even money on them and 2 to 1 on the
others. The horses were not called until
six minutes of two o’clock. Farle>\
sold in the pools at $20, field $8. Mor
rissev took a long lead, and held it >o
the top of the stretch, where he was
three lengths to the good over l'arlej.
The chestnut then began to pull up,
and Morrissey’s rider put on the whip
with all his ability, but It was no use.
Farley crawled along at a steady pace,
and won by a head in .5SVfc. I^ottle
Hunter third. Mutuals paid $1.50.
