Newton. N. C„ Dec. 14.—(-Special.)— The Field Trials are still in progress. The Derby race resulted in, the follow ing awards, viz.: First: Geneva, owned by Pierre Loril l&rd, Jr., and handled by C.

IN MEMORY OFIHE NATION’S FOUNDER ( continued prom FIRST I’AGF. I lie was the national architect, says Ban croft, the historian, and lmt for him the nation could not have achieved its inde pendence. could not have formed its un ion. could not have put the Federal Gov ernment into operation. His work was original and constructive and Ims success fully stood ’the severest tests. “lie .selected the site for the capital of the republic lie founded, and gave it the name of the Federal City, but the conn mission substituted the name of Washington as more fitting. 'More than seventy million of people acknowledge al legiance to the Hag which he made triumphant. The nation is his hist eulogist and his noblest monument. EULOGIZED BY IIIS CO' WEILS. “I have been deeply interested and touched 'by the sentiments of Ms contem poraries, uttered a hundred years ago on the occasion of his death. The Rev. Wal ter King, of Norwich, Conn., in the course of an eloquent eulogy delivered in that city on January sth, 1800, said in part: “ ‘By one mighty effort of manly resolu tion we were born anew, ami declared our independence. Now commenced the bloody contest for everything we held dear. The same Almighty Being by whose guidance we were hitherto con ducted, beheld us with compassion, and saw what we needed —a pilot, a leader in the peril ones enterprise we had under taken. lie called for Washiimgton, al ready prepared, anointed him as II:is ser vant, with regal dignity, and put into his hands the control of all our defensive op erations. “But here admiration suppresses ut terance. Your my ids must fill out the active character of the man. But this 1 may say-—(lie eyes of all our American Israel were placed uponi him as tlieir sa vior, under the direction Heaven, and they were not disappointed.’ “The Rev. Nathan Strong, pastor of the North Presbyterian church in Hart ford, spoke as follows, on December 27th, 1799: “ ‘lie was as much the angel of peace as of war, as much respected, as deeply reverenced, in the jiolitical cabinet for a luminous coolness of disposition whereby party jealousy become enlightened and ashamed of itself, as he was for a cool ness of command in the dreadfulu moment when empire® hung suspended on the fate of battle. His opinions became the opin ions of the public body and every man was pleased with himself when he found he thought like Washington. “ ‘Under the auspices of this great war rior. who was formed by the Providence of God to defend his country, the war was ended, and America ranked among the nations. He who might have lieon a monarch retired to bis own Vernon, un clothed of all authority, to enjoy the bliss of being a free private citizen.’ •‘Anil on the day preceding, December 20th, 1799. in the course of hi® memora ble funeral oration before both houses ol' Congress Major General Lee then a rep resentative from tbe State of Virginia gave utterance to the noble sentiment as forceful today as in those early years of our Rational life: “ ‘To the horrid din of battle sweet peace succeeded, and our virtuous chief, mindful only of the common good, in a moment, tempting' personal aggnmdie ment, hushed the discordant note of grow ing sedition and, surrendering his power into Ihe hands from which he had r<*eeiv ed it, converted Ms sword into a plow share, teaching an admiring world that to lie truly great, you must Ik- truly good.’ “While strong with his own generation, he is strong even in the judgment of the generations which have followed.. After a lapse of u. century he is better appre ciated. more perfectly understood, more thoroughly venerated and loved than when 'he lived. He is recognized as not only the most far-sighted statesman of his generation!, hut as having had almost prophetic vision. He built not alone for his own time, but for the great future, and lH»inted the rightful solution of many of the problems which were to arise in the years to come.’ “John Adams, the immediate successor of Washington, said of him in an ad dress to the -Senate on the twenty-third of December, 1799: “ ‘For myself, he had lived enough to life, and to glory. For his fellow citizens, if their prayers could 'have been answered he would have been immortal.’ “The nation needs at this moment the help of his wise example. We invoke the counsel of his life and character and courage. We summon his precepts that wo may keep his pledges to maintain! jus tice and law, education and morality, and civil and religious liberty in every part of our country, the new as well as the old.” The President was interrupted fre quently by applause and at the close of his oration he was cheered heartily.
