The present oatlook for tho Races at the East Carolina f Fair, neek alter nex: warrant the belief that they will be the best in the State. The exceedingly generous purees which were offered for these races gave promise of this result, and the entries which have leen made, sustain the Mief. There is not one 'ace out of the whole dozen that has less than five iinrses enter ed for it; as high as ten horses are entered in some ot the races so many ns to neces sitate the forming of a double line at startipii. The entire number of horses that ill be in the races is between tlrrty-five and forty, and some of them are extremely fast ones. Fast horses will nett fast hora s and each find rivals worthy of their mettle. The races wdl be extremely interesting featun-.s and would alone sttract many visitors. As our readers know, a thousand dot lars dollars is to be contested lor in one day Thursday of fair week and a total of $2,500 during the Fair. There will be three races lor $330 each one on Wed nesday, one on Thursday, and one on Friday, and otherj for purses ranging in amount from $75 to $275. These large purses are what have brought so many choice horses here. Their size will make every contestant do his utmost, and make every race both lively and exciting. "Whitf..rd House" fold.

Wilmington is taking active steps in behalt of tho Horticultural Fair which its citizens want held there next August. The Fair is a State institution which moves annually from city to city as in vited. ' It has thus far been held in ten differ ent places. We doubt not Wilmington will secure it this year and we will be glad of it. We would like to take to our sister city on such an occasion and we are sure many of our citizens are like minded.

A 8an I Fire A small house at the foot of Change street, belonging to Mr. L.H. Cutler, an occupied bv llannan hlllott col was burned last night betwetn eight and nine o'clock. The loss wss about $300. The fire originated up stairs while the occu pants were below. The cause is not known. Oiia ol them was u J stairs awhile heforu with a lamp but it had been brought dow n and this is said to be all the fire that was up stairs. The fire was well under way when discovered snd nothing wss saved except what was on the loser flo-.r. The resident of ',,,. Geo. V.

Ednard Bull is compiling of those who arc willing to take boanicrs and lodgers during Fair week, will this year lie given to the pub lic by circulars distributed on each in coming train before it arrives at the city, and do aw.iy with the trouble the visitors have had hcretolore of seeking one of the Fair officials to obtain this infor mation. Mr. Bull began the canvass yesterday and secured lodging and board for about 350 people, distributed anion ; nbout 25 of our sitizeiiH. Wnile lists for board and lodging both are being taken the latter is the mail' point to be considered. The good of the Fair and of the city requires that all visi tors on :'.iis occasion be comfortably pro vided lot. Let all take lodgers who can. Fuller Sentenced to be Hung. E. J. Fuller, of Fayctteville, was sen tenced to lie hanged on tliclOlh of March. An nmieal to the uiireiue court was taken. The killing of Parker w is regarded al the time it happened ai a great outrage, but the public were noi expecting that the jury's verdict would be "murder in the lirst degree,'' and a feeling of synipa thy for him and his friends is developing. Judge Bryan, throughout the trial, has acted with strict impartiality the prom inenceof the prisoner's family connections has not swerved linn in the least. .V sentiment of honor on the part of all olli cers that will cause them to carry out unflinchingly the laws they are sworn to uphold, and a seiitiiucnt on the part of the people that will sustain them in S3 doiug is greatly needed. A failure to so iuforcc the laws gives license to lawless ncss and leads the people to lake the punishment of crime into their on n hands. Officers, should, at all times, seek law les-ineps to suppress it. without waiting to lie called lor, and without w.uiing to be urged lorward by public opinion, and even against public opinion, if neccs sary. This is simply their sworn duty The Loulslpua Lottery Seeks F orlda Florida in spite of strong efforts to the contrary had to submit to the Corbett- Mitchell fight on her soil, and now the Louisiana lottery is seeking to re-establish itself at Port Tampa. A law passed at the lust legislature modified the existing statute, the under standing being that lit made it stronger but it is claimed that the wording makes it so that Florida companies cannot op er&te in the State but outside ones can; The woriing which makes this so if it provts to be a fact, is said to be x trick in the wording of the la, which was ef fected in the interest of this loiter com pany. Admiral Benhau's prompt action at Rio last week will have a salutary effect in teaching other nations that the United States is not to be trifled with.

I'KLSiDKXT S IltroHT We ih'sire in the liegiuning of our re port to express our gratitude to God, the giver ut eveiy perfect gift, lor Ilis goodness to us during the past year anil to acknowledge Ills guiding hand in all our work. The many favors, shown us by JYieuds I the Association, have been apiwe- ciatc'i, and we assure them that they haie our sincere thanks. When the annual report of the Associa tion for lsyj was read, a prediction, based upon certain changes in the ad inniislralion ot' its affairs and the intorest uunilc.sud by its members, wis made illative to the work of the year that has just elo-cd. The hopes then entertained liave ie.i!i.ed. and we rail congratulate Ihe me ii i I - and frien.U of the Associn iio'i up. in its condition today financially .url the w ork aeeoniplNh-d during the past u-ar. Not u .1 hi indmg the depression in I'udiies. i noil-, the running expenses for the y .ir li.no been met; and tl:e debt, which li i- h impered the work for several years lias been reduced to a mere nominal sttii' and no hope to pay this very soon. The amount due the Association on pledges is iiiiin thau enough to liquidate tile entire indebtedness. The work ol the Association, as many of you will know, is divided into four distinct elassi-, viz : physical, social, in tellectual an I religious,- the three first ineirione I being aids to the successful prosecution of the last. Itjis exceedingly gra.ifying that quite a large number of the young men ot our town avail chum selves oi' the privileges offered by the Association along these lines.

In this conflict the Vonni: Men's Christian Asso ciation is tile strong ally ot the church her right aim out stretched to protect and delend the helpless, whom the god ol this world is seeking, with hellish in genuity, to ruin. Our rooms ought to be made more in viting and more comfortable than they are, that tho association might be the letter able to carry 0:1 thU branch of the work of the church. As I have stated,all departments of our work are best tributary to the religious work. Our aim is to persaude young men to accept Jesus as their Lord and Saviour, and to develop them in Christ inn work and in speaking for Christ in public. To this end a men's meeting is held every Sunday afternoon and during the week ot prayer in Novemlier. Mauy of these meetings were characterized by a deep religious tone the presence of the limy spirit wnuu was ten oy all pres ent. That the Lord has blessed us, we know full well. Requests for prayer have been followed by a surrender of self to the Lord. The influences, thus set in motion by the Young Men's Christ ian Association of our town, shall widen, and continue to widen on the sea of time, until tiiey break on the shores of cterni ty in praises to God, who is our refus-e and strength. REPORT OFVbNBRAL SECRET ART, The clay has long since passed in which the work of tho Young Men's Christian Association can be called an expenaeut. Little more than a half cen tury ago the first organization was effected having grown out of a prayer- meeting organizeu in one 01 tue Dusiness houses in the c'ty of London. Sinoe that time its growth has been phenomi uaL Although the first organization is scarcely 50 years old, and! the orisinator of (he movement still lives, an honored citizen in the city ef London, we see that the Association is known and recofrmzed In almost;very foreign land. The In ternational Committee has representatives in Mexico, Japan, India and Brazil and hope ere long to be represented in other lands, -. I In order that you mav see somewhat of the proportions which the work has assumed, I will give a few statistics ot the work in general. ' During- tho past years tne growtn aas been remarkable. In 1868 there wore less than 100 Associa tions with dp membership of not more than 15,d00; now there are 1,139 Associa tions witn a total membership ot 246,000; then there was one. association building I valued st $11,000; now there are 284 worth f 12,591.000. Then the total met property amounted to $90,000; now it amounts to 114.208.043. Then : there were less than a dozen men erVina entire time to the woric; now there are 1,279. Then less thaa (50,000 were contributed annually for local and only 522 fbf gen eral work; now 3,188,000 are given year ly for the former and'-$198,000 for the Utter, making a total of 92,334,000 spent every jefir-upon the work, of the-Association.',' ' '"",' - i .v-v.; ; If - so" much money is" spent of course it would i De natural to inquire what is - accomplished by the p nding .f tin- money.
