Paulsen and Luhr to Have Their Ten-Mile Race This Afternoon.. McAuliffe and Myer Eat a Meal Tog-ether in the Cream City. A free-for-all race, which will create great interest at Minneapolis, was last night arranged to occur within the next ten days, probably Wednesday, after noon, Feb. 27. It will be a free-for-all, and is open to any horse, trotter or pacer, owned in Minneapolis, the en trance fee being $100. The arrange ments were made last evening -by a number of prominent horse-owners who are members of the Minnesota Driving Park association, which met at 304 Nicollet avenue, and the following horses were entered: - Gem, pacer; record, 2:13". : William Ctrotter, 2:22%; Pat Bruen. pacer, 2:2i,'4; Big Ike, trotter, $:27&; Major Linn, trotter,2:24; Lady Woodside, 2:30. The money, $000, is to* be divided into three purses, GO, 25 and 15 per cent. The course is to be half a mile on Lake of the Isles, best three heats in five. Another race to take place the first week in March for $100 a side was also arranged between Big Ike and Major Linn. SAM BRYANT'S GAME. ' The, | Owner of Proctor Knott Strikes a Pool Room. Louisville, Feb. 23.— Sam Bryant lias returned from Nashville a badly disgusted individual. He visited the Rock City ostensibly for the purpose of looking at the Belle Meade yearlings, but in reality to place $500 or more on his equine god, . Proctor Knott, in the Two- ■; Thousand stakes, to be run there next May. He did visit Belle Meade,: but of course saw nothing there he wanted for the reason that he wanted notning. Then, in a careless sort of way, lie sauntered into Palmer & CartwrighPs no I room, and, running his eye. over the blackboard, saw 3 to 1 quoted against Proctor Knott. That suited him pretty well, and, not to dis close his hand, he asKed in an indiffer ent sort of 'way how much they would take against "that boss at 3 to 1." He was,^prepared to ■ have the bookies limit' him to $300 "or $400, but when they informed him that the maximum bet they would: take was $50 he almost ex ploded wrath. "What! Let you fellers know whether I'm' going to start my boss for a paltry $150. No; I'll see you d— first," and the red-faced Kentuckian stalked out of the room. The next train that left Nashville found Sam "Bryant on it with a ticket for Louisville.. There is not the least doubt here that he intends starting the Futurity winner in the above stake. He has made up his mind to this fact, and when Bryant makes up his mind Jupiter couldn't swerve him. Bryant now says it was not the. Dwyers who made him an offer for Proctor Knott recently; that the only bid he ever received from the Brooklyn turfmen was one of $30,000 at Sheeps head Bay. three days before the Futur ity was run. Another, a bookmaker, offered him $30,000 simply for the run ning qualities of the horse on Futurity day. THE SANTA ANITA STABLE. Mr. Baldwin to Confine Himself to a Small But Select String. San Francisco, Feb. 23.— 1n the var ious places where horsemen most do congregate the question is asked almost every day, "What horses will Lucky Baldwin take East this year?" Mr. Baldwin has had such remarkable good' fortune in former years with his racing stable that naturally more than a pass ing interest is manifested by those who Incline to the royal sport. Rumors of various kinds have been floating around for several .'months as to Mr. Baldwin's intentions. Among oth ers, one .to", the effect that the •Santa Anita stable's colors would not be seen on the Eastern courses this season, but that instead, Mr. Baldwin would only race Tin California. That gentleman assured Grim, the accom plished writer of The Breeder and Sportsman, that he will take a small, but highly, selected lot to do battle on the Eastern turf. Most of the two-year olds will be. tried here prior to ship ment, and any not showing the highest possible form will be left behind and entered for California events. It may possibly occur that after the pick of the stable is forwarded, some one or more of the cast oil's may show up in proper stake form, and in that event they will be sent on to "join the Eastern contin gent. Mr. Baldwin has determined, how ever, to cut down the expenses as low as can be, without detriment to tho stable,, and as it will be under his per sonal supervision he will be enabled to judge from time to time what changes, if any, are necessary, instead of Mr. Roberts, who was the trainer last year, Robert Campbell will be the first in command, and as Bob has been for sev eral.years connected with the stable no better man could have been chosen. The young jockey, Graham West, will have the premier mount, with Isaac Murphy as heavy-weight, but the latter is not regularly engaged, as he was last year, but will be paid" for winning and losing mounts, tbe same as any other disengaged jockey. LOOKING UP WINNERS, What the Turf Men Are Engaged in at Present. From the South comes the informa tion that J. J. Carter's coltKasson is de veloping into a sure enough race horse, and from the same country is obtained the opinion that Spokane has already shown form which makes him a formid able rival for the best of them. Then, too, it is authentically known that Col. J. W. Guest's Heron is training right along, and has shown im provement that puts him on the "list of the most . prominent ones. One Derby candidate that is little heard of is The Lioness, but it is quietly reported that she has recovered; from 'her hard campaign of last season, and now ex hibits quality enough to repeat her per formance of last spring, when, with equal weights, she' * outstayed aud out footed Knott, and gave him asound beat ing for the Runiiymede stakes at Louis ville, oyer the extreme limit of distance for two-year-ohls at that season. - Those who have watched tho movements of the ; :'■ Derby ; ; animals ' that have been*-' engaged in "winter racing have so far been disappointed, for, while of those that have been started three have been winners, the mediocrity of their perform pretty well bars them from any real prominence for the "Blue Ribbon" event. These winners are P. M. West's Rollin Hawley, he having won twice, the Beverwyek sta ble's Lamont and W. O. Sculley's Mac cauley. Lamont has already been de clared out. It is about these and some few of the others that- the tongues of sportsmen wag now; when 'the business of backing the sprinters at the : New Jersey and New Orleans merry-go rounds grows tiresome. . % PAULSEN AND LUHR. -kf'. The Great Ten-Mile Skating Race ■ This Afternoon. y ; > The ten-mile skating contest for the championship of America and $200* a side, between Axel Paulsen, champion skater of the world, and Fritz" Luhr, of Christiania, Norway, will occur at the ball park, West St. Paul, this afternoon. Paulsen's record is too well known, to need any -repetition, while: Luhr is a comparative stranger on: this side of the water, though well known in Norway. His only race in this country was in January, he won the five mile championship of the : Northwest with ease at St. Paul. He is fully six feet iv height, and ' has every ; appear ance of an athlete. The track has been accurately surveyed, and the time will no doubt' go on record, as the knowing ones who are posted predict that Luhr will' . make :. Paulsen -. break- the rec ord, if he succeeds in : winning. The record now- is 30.37. -1-5 seconds. Six thousand people attended the last race between Paulsen and Goetz, and if the weather moderate a little, probably one of the largest crowds of the season will be in attendance . to-day. Paulsen beat the record for ten 1 miles at Minne apolis Jan. 27, in his twenty-mile race with Goetz, covering" the first ten j miles in thirty-three minutes, but it does not constitute a record ; at that distance. The ice , is in splendid condition, and the track measures six laps to the - mile. Experienced judgas and scorers will bo appointed, who will keep an accurate record of all the details.. The -balance of > the money necessary to make up the stakes will be deposited with C. E. , Maxfield at 2 o'clock. Should Paulsen win an effort will be made to get Joe Donoghue, the very fast skater of Newbury, N. V., who defeated the crack skaters of Eu rope this winter, to come here and race Paulsen a five or ten* mile race. James Collins, of Milwaukee, the ■ fastest one quarter mile runner, in America, will attempt to heat Paulsen One-quarter .of a mile just before; the big race, for a purse of $100, given .- by ; . the.,manage ment. Special trains ' will . leave : the foot of Jackson street at • 2:30 p. m*. for the park. The race wilt. commence at 3 p. m. sharp, and wilt come off no matter what is the condition of the weather. MYER AND . M'AULIFFE Have a Little Chat at Dinner in Milwaukee. . Milwaukee, Wis., : Feb. 23.—A.notabl e quartet took dinner at the Plankiriton house yesterday. :li consisted of Billy Myer, Jack McAuliffe, Alf Kennedy and Billy Madden. It was the first time the members of the grouphad met since the contest in Indiana. The meeting was accidental. McAuliffe and Madden were en route to Beaver Dam to fill a sparring engagement, whilp'Myer and Kennedy, were in Milwaukee for the same pur pose, Myer sparring last evening at the Peoples theater With' Austin, a Chicago light-weight. After; dinner, in an in formal way, the four discussed the prospects for a' fight ;in the "future. That it could not take [place at once was admitted by. Kennedy, and Myer as soon as they put their eyes 'on McAuliffe's bulky form, i Mas is .even heaver than when here last . week. .-;■ Kennedy in formed Madden that Myer desired to fight it out in } a- private room with not more than a dozen popple present.- He said their money ..was. .tip and they did not want to take it down. The proposi tions were well. : received, but Madden and McAuliffe wished the. .fight to take • place within a short, distance of New York or in San Francisco. No agree ment was arrived at, and Mac and his partner left on the afternoon train for Beaver Dam. Kennedy said afterward: "Billy - doesn't like to go far away. Had there '* been - any trouble at the receut meeting, or had Mac and his party -•; been abused or worried, we would not say a word about going anywhere else. But they admit they had the best kind , of treatment, and 1 can't see why they are unwilling to have the right out here. I know of twenty-live: men - who will- put : .up $100 each to see the fight. That would give $7,500 to the winner, and that is enough, 'there is too much risk in handling a big crowd. Then a small party can get away quietly and the battle bo fought out to a finish before any outsiders know it is taking place." • Myer, who is stHl in training, said about his next meeting with McAuliffe: " If I meet Mac again it will be in pri vate. 1 have fought my last fight in public." . -JgW*J " What brought you to this decision?" - "Well, 1 in. big crowd people are liable to get excited and murder may follow. 1 think it much better for the men to meet with four or five friends each and fight: it out. That's the way I shall fight in the future." Myer has had an offer to travel with McNish's minstrels, but did not accept, as ; it would carry him too far from home. ' When his attention was called to Richard K. Fox's statement that be would not have been entitled to the championship .belt even if he; had won the fight, he said, brusquely: "Give me the money and ho can keep the belt. My friends could give me a belt ! if I needed one. Fox. gave Kilrain a belt and cailed him a champion, but teat doesn't make him one a long way," MINNEAPOLIS ATHLETES; An Indoor Gymnastic Exhibition Set for Wednesday Evening.' ..

Berlin, Feb. 23.— Diplomatic and ministerial dinners are now the order of ] the day,* eagerly 'discussed as af fording indications ot personal and in-;, ternational relations. Prince. Bismarck yesterday gave a dinner to the mem bers of the lower house of the Prussian diet, and during the serving ' of ccoffe r complained of the heavy labors created , for . him by what he termed the "so called colonies.". He ascribed the blame for no small portion of his difficulties to the action of colonial officials, who, he said, frequently acted without a req uisite knowledge of circumstances, and especially .d-d. hot know how. to . treat natives. ;it was impossible, the; chancellor said, to allow trivial disputes to introduce any discordant '."element in Germany's; relations with the great friendly powers, as the slightest dis turbance of the harmony prevailing between the imperial government and foreign states might have most preju dicial effects, tiobn; German commercial and i business "relations. Bismarck ; is said to have been . greatly annoyed; at the consul's proposals to annex Samoa, and the Vossische Zeitutig's question as to what 'would be thought of a consul who telegraphed, a proposal to annex. Zurich or Luxembourg is believed to be identical with the opinion of the chan cellor. In explanation of the reported ordering 'of a - German squadron to Samoa, the National Zeitung observes that j the impending - punishment of Mataafa will have no effect upon Ger many's relations with . England and America, the right of Germany to inter vene in the matter not being contested. in any quarter. . The report must, how ever, "be received, with reserve. The squadron is provisioned for Port Said, in order," probably,' to be-in readiness to. proceed to East Africa or to await the development of affairs) It may at least be assumed that the squadron will only go to Samoa in the event of the Ameri can government proving exacting or unreasonable.

It is stated that both " the emperor and empress will be among i the guests. All the ministers and chiefs \ of the military and civil cabinets have beeu invited to be present at the din ner to be given by Prince Bismarck on" Monday to the emperor. The event is much commented on. as intended to dis pel the idea that a divergence of views exists between the emperor and the chancellor. The rumor that Prince Bismarck has advised the : emperor to replace Count yon Waldersee as aide de-camp by another officer is declared to be entirely without foundation. The emperor is far from being free from ' painful ear-aches. The recent changes :iu the weather have given bim much trouble. He is obliged sometimes -'.

Reform Masquerade by a Party of La dies and Gentlemen at the i ' . : Merchants. -''.'-" i "What if White Caps should organize in 'St. .Paul,*-', more than one person has .; asked with a shudder, "after reading of some fresh atrocity committed by these* lawless reformers in other cities. But the apprehension realized comes ; with an awful suddenness,. as if no' hint of it j had ever been suggested. It was about 11 o'clock Tuesday evening. .Politics and purity still stalked the office of the Merchants' hotel, and on the floors above the ice pitchers jl clink-clanked along the halls,prophesyiugof dry throats and* parched tongues in the : morning. Through the transom of room 157 flashed on the 1 famous corridor outside the daz zling blaze of Senator Blackmau's shirt stud or the harvest moonlight of Michael Moran's smile,' while: from 155 the smooth tones of John Greece now' bade 'Ante up, me.boy;" and now.the uncer tain utterance of Col. Ellen commingled with the statesmanlike voice of Judge' Smith in an altercation over an inti mated deal of unrevealed nature. The . other room was strangely silent. When early in the evening Marcus Johnson cautiously crept out and . closed the door behind him, the lock immediately Clicked and Gen. Baker stuck his . head through the transom . to ask,' ''You couldn't barricade -it on the ■ outside, coo, could you, senator?" '-"Hush," said the' senator;- "be still and you may be ; sabred." But for all the assumed confi dence of the statesman from Atwater, - Uis:keeri blue eye rolled uneasily, and ■ ma hair on the top ot his head -stood up trembling in the hope offinding another ; tfe'lceep it company as he stole iii terror i down the corridor to the elevator. ' i j Ex-Gov. Harvard had just opened a Ijapk pot with five aces when there was . Id ijap on the door, and Host John Greece i-WCUt to respond. He approached tjhe door, and chancing to notice I tjhttt one of the; legs of the table had tqaine" undressed, he waited till Col. Ellen had . properly readjusted the f^ieet which every evening is modestly tjed about the legs of all the tables used : Poker row" before the . gentlemen j*it flown before them. This bit of de £dornrtot is .'..'shirt, was, established ..by; <|qf-. O'Leary' whose deference; to , pro-, priety and nicety" iv small matters is. a characteristic of every true. French gen-: tleman. : The bolt was slipped, the door opened aud John Greece fell sense less to the floor. There stood in awful, ; sepulchral majesty ten white-shrouded figures, each bearing . on . his breast a sable skull and cross bones and the terrible revelation in black letters, "White „ Caps." Their eyes gleamed through their white masks a threaten ing determination to have gore, and the forefinger of each right hand pointed at their victims with the horrible ihex orableuess of the finger of fate. Into the room the specters crowded, urging in gutteral tones: "Mend your ways."- The hands of ex-Gov. Harvard and Judge Smith with a common im pulse sought each other for support over the jack pot. Col. Ellen endeavored to beg for mercy, and in the desperate effort he made . swallowed the quid of tobacco he was chewing,: and succeeded in whistling. "Jack the Kipper," said the. White Cap who took the lead of the band to a smaller figure beside him, "laugh and bring John Greece to his senses." Such a laugh as only a lost soul laughs at the gates of hell stood John Greece on his feet una minute. "Open • the pot now, Jack." commanded the leader, and Jack lifted off the nerveless hands ot ex-Gov.'Har vard and Judge Smith. "Now : call them." came the order, and. ten shroud ed hands presented ten loaded guns . to the heads of the four good men before them. "That beats my four aces," said ex-Gov. Harvard, throwing down his hand, and Jack the Ripper took the pot. 1 After leaving a card.bearing the legend, L''Mem"t your ways," the specters slowly Wheeled about and retired. "Boys," said* Col. Ellen with tears of repentance in his eyes' "we will open an ew deal. They have carried off our pile." Vies,": returned John Greece with a sigh; "and they took it with a jack." ! '•;. ' '* i "See who's at the door, Michael," said Col. De Grimm when a rap sounded on 1&5. "Holy poker,", gasped Mr; -Moran as he faced the white-robed ; marauders. "Howly mither of Moses," ejaculated Col. O'Leary; "Keep 'em out. 'Moike. keep 'em out; they're a bad-looking lot." But Mr. Moran's efforts were of no avail: On they came, their threaten ing fingers - boding ; ill to all. -:. "Mend your ways," they warned .in a chorus. ■ "Wear no more diamonds at your peril. Get 'to 'a nunnery and be a" monk,", they ordered Senator Blackmail. " "We give : voir one more show," they accorded Senator Falseax. "Beware ". of : Marcus Johnson,", they said to Mr. House, and s to Harry Sheeperton— "Deal once more iat your peril." A $25 jack-pot on the [table passed into Jack the Ripper's: ; possession, and.'on /the awful; pro- cession moved. At the door --of; ■ jal young woman, - they; paused to ' sfiid her into hysterics," and then in the 'Wake of a basket of champagne they iAarched to the room of C. W. Young man and wife, where it developed that the band -' was composed of Mr. and - Mrs. Simons, Mr. and Mrs. C.W. Young- : man, Mrs. Bramble, Mrs. Senator Ed wards.* Mrs. Senator • Hall and Mr. and Mrs*. Wise. Mr. Wise is in charge of \ the Seventh street cable, and came here • ! from St. Louis, Mo. ; The only explana tion of the sudden conversion of harm-: less, -peace-loving ; citizents Into spec-: tral, blood-thirsty reformers is to be found in the possibility," that, residence in Missouri has generated marauding : impulses in the mind of Mr. Wise, who; probably; incited; the f. others to. action.

It is during this cold and bleak weather we feel the need of the telephone most, as anything that will , make ■. exposure to the weather unnecessary is gladly welcomed. j Having our curiosity excited to see the cen- ' ] tral ofliee, the reporter paid a visit there not long since, and had a very pleasant chat with Mrs. J. 1).

Mrs. Rogers has been a resident of the Zenith City for some five . years, having before coming here resided in Minneapolis. : Sbe. is delighted with the fine weather we are having this fall, and. during the conversation remarked that • absolute good health was the great secret of true happiness. . Asked if she had not always enjoyed that blessing, she said no, she had not! "I will tell: you how it was,"' sbe answered. '.'Shortly after I first came here I took a : severe cold,, which settled in my head, not appearing to bother me much iv the throat. At first I sup posed I had a bad cold, and that in time it ; would be all right, but I found it was a cold all the time, so I commenced doctoring my self trying to rid myself of it, but I could not. About three years ago in consulting a physi cian I was told that my trouble was catarrh of the head. Then I started in for regular treatment for " it. and ■ ■ since • then ' have been under the care of three, different doc tors, and treated without getting any benefit at all • until Cl~ began to regard my case as hopeless. I kept getting worse all the " time, : and this summer I was so bad that life was a burden, and I began to get alarmed, as I was afraid I would have to give up my situational My head was full all the time, and I had a * very poor appetite and such a tired, languid feeling: in fact I could not describe to you . my feelings. : I was feeling as miserable as. one : can very well, my stomach got out or order, and generally I was in a condition not; to be envied by any person.. -. :/. --. i "Well.
