Races At Topeka Meeting Yield Modest Profit
The Topeka race meeting finished with a modest net after heavy track conditions and a strong third day turnout. Backers faced a deficit risk but the event ended showing better than expected attendance and a secured financial outlook, with Guilford Dadiey noting the organization ran a businesslike operation and kept exact accounts. A 2:14 trot victory by Norther and a free-for-all pace win highlighted the program, while a theft at the poolroom saw J A Peyton losing $3 and a key.

Talks to Workers and Debates on Populists at Park Meeting
A Republican rally at the east end of the Sixth street viaduct featured Judge J. B Johnson as the principal speaker with W. C Pickering chairing. Johnson denounced Populism as demagogic and praised Republican aims while contrasting labor support with alleged Populist missteps including strikes and sympathy for Russians and Italians. The event also included remarks on tariff policy, a brief exchange with a cigar maker, and later discussions of the silver question and accusations against Clemens.
