Nothing so sets the blood tingling through men's veins as a contest of speed. It does not matter whether the contestants be men or animals. One will naturally take sides with 6ome one of them, and his "side" is his own just as mnch as though he was himself one of those engaged in the struggle forsu premacy. So is that the hippodrome forms one of the most thrilling, generally exciting and principal feantnre of the modern big tented amusement. Con sequently, the managers have paid spe cial attention to this important depart ment. He has imported more than a score of the finest blooded racing stock ever brought to America, including many full blooded Arabian steeds, noted for their fleetness of foot. The enormous canvas is absolutely water proof, and is the largest ever constructed, making it possible to have a race course fully a quarter of a mile in length, or four laps to the mile. Around this splended course the men and horses dash along at the very feet of the spectators, and its great length enables them to attain and maintain the highest possible rate of speed. There are raees of all kinds, an cient and modern. There are races of all kinds, ancient and modern, between horses, men, animals, and when they are not terrific they are very funny, ludicrously funny, exciting rounds of applause and continual laughter. One special feature that we desire to call attention to, and one that is pre sented by no other tented amusement enterprise, is a race between an elephant, ridden by the only riding lion "Wal lacker,"and a man on foot. It is not only a decided novelty, but the most ex citing of all hippodrome races, whether ancient or modern. The magnificent street parade is a solid mile of glittering golden tableau wagons.chariots, mourted knights and ladies, and numerous novel ties never before seen in this country. There are ten kinds of music, steam cal liopes, Scottish bag pipers, a herd of ele phants, camels and led animals. Vedock makes two backward dives daily from the top of . a well like structure that is one hundred feet high, and is free to all. Taken all in all, these shows are the grandest and best the world has ever known, and their visit to this city to morrow will be the most memorable event ever known in the history of Wake county. . Odd Fellow Reception Committee. The Odd Fellows of this city have ap pointed a reception committee of that oidjr to look after the welfare of their brethren who may visit tho city during the State Fair. They have opened head quarters at the Grand Secretary's office, room 27, Pullen building, where a kind of intelligence office will be kept anc where they hope to have the pleasure of meeting any Odd Fellows who may bo in the city.' If tho boarding houses or private fam ilies, who desire to entertain visitors, will drop a postal card to the reception committee I O. O. F., caie of tho Grand Sacretarj's effice, stating their location, how many they can accommodate with board, lodging, or both, and their terms, it will be greatly appreciated, and the committee will endeavor to send their friends to them for accommodation.

His Discourses Were Filled With the Choicest 'and Most Advanced Thoughts and Pleasing Anecdotes. Rev. Jno. 0. Kilgo, D. D.f president of Trinity College, preached a sermon yesterday morning at Central Methodist Church on the resurrection, and at night lectured at Edenton Street Methodist Church on Christian Education. His text in the morning was " But if there be no resurrection of the dead, then is Christ not risen. And if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is vain also." 1 Cor. 12 and 13. We give briefly some comments, not being able to produce the sermon. He showed the power of the resurrec tion to be manifested in the life of Christ, not merely a natural life, but a new life, a new force, a new power. Christ said: "I am the resurrection and the life." This triumphant resurrection proved the facts of this new life. I am the life. The course of nature had received a new direction. The new creature had begun Human thought had been started in a new channel, and the church was the witness to-day of this now force or power. So profoundly had this doct rine been wrought into the heart of humanity that " the scoffer, scientist and itfidel had been loading their guns with stars for nineteen centuries, but had not made a scar upon the rock the church." He dwelt upon the fa!acy of finding God through nature's God, and ridiculed the idea of a Bible that harmonized the be liefs of a Jew, Gentile, Catholic a;.d Pro testant for our public schools, showing that th's scheme would neceesarily blot out the doctrine of the resurrection. Certain facts were evidences of Christ's power over natura He commanded the waves to bo still, lis raised the dead, He overcame the laws of gratification by His ascension. His life, or force, or power was in Christ, and attainable by these who believed on Him. THE MGHTXECTUnE, The subject at Edenton Street cburch in the evening was Christian Education. It is almost impossible to do justice to this leture without publishing it all. A few points, however, will give some idea of his position. He began with a tribute to tie Chris tian religion. , No religion could super ceed the Christian. If thi is a failure, the problem of the world would bo a failure. All other processes had failed He said he was tired of men laying their hands on the pulse of this nation r j saying it was sick. If you can't solve the problem stop making them up. Quit the eternal mourning and crjing hard times. Politeness caused confusion and agitation. All parties promised reforms but failed. Why iirnore the greatest educator of all time, the Nazarene, and teach in our schoods dead paganism The Bible, the only platform for mankind and the foundation of the people's faith Morality and Christ were as far apart a? Christianity and Budhism. Ignorance was no crime, but the sharp, shrewd. educated, man developed anarchy and and communism. H was not tfraid of illiteracy so much as education without Christ. That the swamp negro and the gcorant mountaineer were not so dan gerous to the body politic. No eduoa tion was better than a noa Christian ed ucation. Hi spoke for over a hour em pbasizing the -importance of Christian education, showing how all nations bad failed who taught simply morals. He made the statement that Trinity College was in a flourishing condition; that It had grown from $40,000 to $400,- 000, and that the religious condition of the students was ai good as we have the right to expect. The conclusions drawn on these, that the hope ot Christian education was through denominational schools, he went bo f-;r as to have the inferenco that the church should do the teaching to the ex elusion of all other systems of education. He ulogized the Baptist, Presbyterian and Baptist male colleges In glowing terms of what they were doing towards Christian education. D?. Kilgo's stylo Is original, earnest, vigorous and seotarian. His discourses are filled with the ohoicest and most ad vanoed thoughts, and enlivened impre K1LG0 SERMONS sive illustrations, pleasing anecdotes and startlirg comparisons. He made a profound iroprewii n upon educators generally in the advanced positions that he holds, and put all classes to think about the importance of Christian education. WATAUGA CLUB BANQUET.
