The weather was most propitinus, the rid ers in coed form, and Minneapolis was beat en almost cicry event, and the events in teresting, h-oim. exciting, but the atteulance was net as i.:rge as waj hoptd for. Siill, after the axpecae* there remains a little prize money. Th.' nu eting was an experiment, and Mraa in geneAU satisfactory to the promoters. While th ■ track was in poor condition, Charles Hofer, the la^t local rider. j,aeed by Tom Bird and j. J. Schwartz, on a tandem, suc ceeded in lowering the track record tor a miie 2:1-. to 2:0*1 1-5.* Tlie beat rice of the day was the two-mile »proK-s£!on;.i liamneap, in whieu Hofer again -istln&uiahaj himself b;, starting trom ■crate*, trying the entire field, and winning mil 111 an exciting sprint with John Niisson, .u.s. in iront ji the bunch, 'ihe time, 4:48 2-6, ■opwed ■ ...it clip throughout the race, con sidering tns condition ot the track. Niisson finished second, hair a wheel back of Hofer with C. A. Palm, of Minneapolis, third and A. Berg. .< vi. ol Minneapolis, fourth. . One vi tiie surprise* of the uay was the fust riding of John A. Neubauer. In the thiee-inile pursuit race, after losing fifty yards In etu mpting to pull his team mates _Uong with biro to victory, he Cut loose from them and went out alone alter the Minne apolis team, overcoming their lead and win ning the. heat by nearly 100 yards. In tii.- five-mile amateur handicap event. .Neubauer, with 75 yards handicap, pullej *aw_y fnyji tiie scratch men ar.d led the field over the fine in a rattling brush with F. A. Johnson, ot Minneapolis, a 125 yard entry. Neubauer's showing was a source of niucli satisfaction to locU wheelmen, some of whom still think r.e was entitled to first prize in the Harriet road race. .v, Tl '« tl " 0l c raoes were run in heats. In the first .vint, the one mile open amateur paced, pacemaker to qualify, there were twen ty-eight starters. The flrst he it was won in order by Paul Mayor. St. Paul: C. Clarkson.

M Bird lost his place In the final to McCollum. rue final heat was easy for Hofer, until the stretch was reached, where Niisson and Bergeson each made a strong bid for the race, but Hofer let out a link or two and made another pretty finish by leading Berge son over the line by a length. Niisson was tlnee yards away for third place. Time A.*i"> J-O. The three-mile pursuit race, the first con test of tbe kind run in this city, was Inter esting from start to finish. Teams of three riders each, representing St. Paul ard M'nne apolis. startod from opposite sides of the track. There was no loafing as the riders could not easily figure their lead so that fast riding characterized every heat. Here as in the other ra-es the Minneapolis riders were outclassed, as only one of the Mill c ty teams won a heat leaving the final to be run off by two local teams. Callander, Eriekison and Neiderhofer won the first beat for Minneapols in 7:46 4-5 r'd lng Mayer. Martin and Nicholson, St. Paul out of ti-eir saddles, Mayer being the last to cuit 0:1 the last lap. The second heat , looked at first as though it would also go to tbe Mill C:ty riders aB Grandqui3t, Heeley and Loftus set a fast pace at the start and , soon had twenty yards lead over Ed Sud heimer, George Sudheimer and Harry Per kins. The local riders, however, were simply ■waiting for the last mile, when they went out in a splendid burst of speed, overhauling the Minneapolis pedalers and winning the heat handly. Time, 7:39 1-5. The third heat was all but lost to Minne apolis, when Neubauer shook his team com panions and saved the heat. He started out with Fred Smith and M. D. Nicholson against F. Johnson, A. E. Swanson and C. Paulson. Nicholson quit on the fifth lap, leaving Smith and Neubauer to finish. Sinirh pumped along well up with Neubauer to the end of the second m le. but little by little the Minne apolis team had gained a substantial lead of nearly fifty yards. Half way around on the first lap of the third mile Neubauer pedaled away from. Smith and cut out a hot pace to catch the Mill City riders. By the finish of the second lap he had their lead, down to ten yards, aud cheered on by the spectators, struck even a faster clip for the last third of a mile. The extra effort was not neces e^ry, howev r as the other team was nearly through and ! % -*he time he c-a;ssed the tape Neubauer had a lead of ICO yards, having r.'dden a splendid heat. Time, 7:43. An amusing incident of the heat was the effort of one of the Minneapolis riders, who had fa'ien behind, to "ride out" Neubauer ■when the lat-.or overhauled him. The Mill City man struck a rattling paco to wind Neubauer. l;-ut, as a matter of fact, succeeded in making the local man ride only the faster, .the ur-river rider virtually acting as pace maker against his own team. The time in the trial heats showed two local teams the starters ln tne final. Ed Sud heimer. George Sudheimer and Harry Perkins being pitted against Neubauer, Smith and Nicholson. Nenbauer had to ride most of this heat alone, but could not duplicate his per formance In the" third heat, and the Sud heimer-Perkins team won by fifteen yards. Time, 7:31. The five-mile handicap amateur race had a field of thirty-five starters. William Martin, George Sudheimer and A. W. Callander, the latter of Minneapolis, were the seia'ch men, while the limit man was E. W. Erich, with 400 yard?. The race was something of a Srocessioti, though all of the riders pedaled ard throughout, with half a dozen "s.pills" to add to the excitement. No one was seri ously Injured, however, and the aeciden s were soon forgotten in the Interest of t v .e race. The scratch men seemed to discover their inability to overhaul a speedy bunch led by Neubauer. half a mile ahead of them, after the second lap and thereafter alternated set ting the pace In an effort to hold their own There was some lively sprinting for clear space when the last mile began. The riders had gotten well together in two bunches, excepting the scratch men. and the ambitious riders In each set out to win the race on the fourth mile. The result was fast riding all along the course, with the positlr.ns relatively unchanged until the home turn was rounded Here Johnson broke out of the first bunch and headed Neubauer. The latter bent over his handie bars and went after .Johnson with a burst of speed that made a pretty finish to the line with tbe St. Paul rider over first by half a length. C. A. Cross, Minneapolis was third. Time, 12:42. Guy Torley. a local trick rider of skill added to the entertainment with a clever ex hibition, while the Minnesota State band enlivened the time between races in discours ing a programme of ten numbers.

The sort of "made to order" bicycle weather, which is being doled out by the weather ckrk, has found favor with the wheeling community, and appre ciation of the favorable atmosphere conditions, can be seen in evidence on all the cycle paths. Although th. days have been too warm for comfort the evenings have been delightful for rid ing, and nothing is mote pleasant than a spin over the travel-hardened path fanned by the breezes of a Minnesota evening. That all roads lead to Home is that the wheelmen take the shortest route to the nearest cycle path for a spin along the sweet scented meadows bordering the path. The paths have never been in better condition. The Commercial club house at Lake Como is becoming more ar.d more pop ular as time pass. s. Every evening a large number can be seen around the grounds taking a quiet rest away from the crowd after a spin to Como in the cool of the evening. T/:o Laurel club and the Capital C.ty boys have become a most important element in the local wheeling world, both of them boast of the "finest club house in the Northwest." Both or ganizations aim to promote that which is to the best interest of wheelmen and to supress anything that savors of rowdyism. "Wheelmen will be glad to know that work has been resumed on the Cleve land avenue path. The funds now at t no disposal of the association are not suiTleient to complete the work, yet, if wheelmen who have not sent in their dollars, will do so at once, the path can he completed in a short timt*. It is a matter of considerable satisfaction to view the exce'lent system of bicycle paths in and aliout the shady retreats in the stirburliun sections. One of the usuil associations of the bicycie face is the bicycle blush, that hue which overspreads the feminine countenance when its owner is en deavoring to pedal up a steep hill on a hot day. It give 3 the face a vivid shade that often resembles in intensity the blush of the novice when for the fi*~st time she tries her wheel in public. Kititsondale has been the popular trystlng place pf both professional and amateur riders during the last week. As the most convenient place for those entering in the intercity race meet. The tiack has been lined nightly with 'young men in bathing suits," who have b:-en making a 2:25 clip right along. The fastest time made on the track last week was recorded as 2:01, made by Schwartz and Tom Bird on a tandem. Several of the Eastern bicycle clubs have discontinued Sunday runs, and substituted Saturday afternoon. The Knickerbocker Athletic Club of New York took the initiative in the matter. Chairman Albert Mott has Just Is sued the following table of percentages in the national championship: Gar-liner sS|Fred Sims 5 Cooper '■niDr. Brown 4 Bald 2'"|jaap Eden 4 Maj. Taylor Hißecker 4 0. Stevens V* Nat Butler 3 McFariand 11 Karl Kaser 3 Eaton 10 Bourotte 3 Freeman ioc. B. Bly 2 Tom Butler 9 Hills Jr 2 Hertena s Riser 2 MmbK* 8 Watson Coleman ..1 Bowler 7 Gardiner remains at the top with a safe margin over Cooper. Gardiner is touted as a sure winner by the circuit habitues, and will doubtless land the championship if he keeps up his present form. Luck has never been so against all lines of snort, and against cycling in particular, as during the present season. Rain for eight weeks, followed by the most intense heat for July 4, and the war in combination and the conseouent absence of thousands of young racegoers at the front, brought disas ter to the ranks of the race meet promoting associations. In Boston but one track of the two is now available, and that Charles River In New York. Manhattan Beach is the only track, Ambrose having been blacklisted and Berkeley Oval lain down. In Phlludelohfa the three tracks are running, but the game is generally thought to be overdone there and only one track draws paying gates. In another two weeks the game will have re ceded to Its last year's basis and profits will again be made.— St. Louis Globe-Democrat. E. A. Warren, head chemist of Noyes Broth ers & Cutler, is experimenting with a new luminous paint to he used on posts and trees along the route of the various cycle paths in St. Paul and Minneapolis. The paint will have the same appearance as phosphorous rubbed on the posts, and will be a guide to wheelmen who are caught on the cycle oaths after nightfall with neither lantern nor moon to guide their course. Along the sides cf tlie path abutting the woods and pastures, there are ln many cases barb wire fences, making it exteremely dangerous for wheel men riding after dark. A large round snot on the posts would serve as danger signals. A meeting of the officers of the Minnesota division of the L. A. W. will be held tomor row afternoon in the office of Chief Consul Ovitt, in the Pioneer Press building, for ihe purpose of selecting an official routo to In dianapolis to the annual meet of the L. A. W which takes place Aug. 9. The resignation of C. E. Bond from the secretaryship will be acted upon. Mr. Bond has been appointed captain of Company I, Fifteenth regiment Minnesota volunteers. A Minneapolis man will probably bo selected to take Mr. Bond's place. Tlie national meet of the L. A. W. at In dianapolis on Aug. 9 will undoubtedly attract the greatest number of wheelmen ever as sembled at any of the L. A. W. functions Chairman Albert Sahm, of the finance com mittee, is meeting with great success in his canvass for funds among Eastern L. A. W. members, and the $1,000 purse hung up for the one mile In three heats will attract the fastest riders on the continent. The official list of track judges, referees, etc., will be announced next week by Chairman Herbert Foltz, of the race committee. The list will comprise repre sentative racing men from all over the coun try. Minnesota members of the Century Road club are coming right to the front this season ln the matter of century records. "Rain maker" Hanson's record last week will prob ably stand for this season's Minnesota rec ord. Several double centuries were made on the Fourth, the names of those successfully completing the 200 miles were published in last Sunday's Globe. The following St. Paul riders have several centuries to thpir credit this season: A. L Sibley, Mr. and Mrs. T. L. Bird, Mr. and Mrs. Archie Mathols, Mr. and Mrs. James McAl rath, Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Thayer, Merrlam Park; W. P. Jewett, James Thorne, F. A Seymour, L. A. Partridge. The following Minneapolis riders are report ed by Dr. C. H. Hunter, state chairman, as having completed several centuries aniece: A. H. Hanson, Harry Hale, O. H. Hanson, Allen Underwood C. T. Lincoln, Dr. C. H. Hunter' M. E. Knowlton, C. W. Schneider ' J. C. Rogers, F. H. Williams, H. J. Moreton, C. A. Brown. The Cycle Path association yesterday di rected a communication to the council of White Bear village, asking them to do some thing towards constructing a more sat sfactory path through the village proper. The path from St Paul to White Bear and the circuit around the lake is in excellent condition, with the exception of that portion of the path whicla runs through White Bear village. Chairman Mott, of the racing board of the L. A. **■** has suspended for this season quite a bunch of New York riders for promoting and officiating at Sunday races. Since the last annual gathering at St. Louis which de cided against Sunday racing, the prerogative laid dlown at that meeting has been well en forced. Three Washington state professionals were also suspended last week. Chief Consul Ovitt has received the fol lowing letter from President Isaac Potter, of the L. A. W.: At a recent meeting of our executive com mittee of the league it was determind to form a national touring committee for work during the balance of this official year, and to make such recommendation to the next na tional assembly as the experience of this committee would seem to warrant. The need of this committee lias been impressed upon us by the number of inquiries constantly mffde by persons, and especially league mem bers, who desire to tour from one state Into another, and who have no ready means of as certaining the beet routes between the places which thy wish to visit. It Is obviously dif ficult, and In many cases impossible for me to supply this information, and as the rood books and maps of each state division are confined mainly to 'the territory within a single state, the Inquiring tourist can gain his information in many cases only by pur chasing several road books at an expense which often seems to him unreasonable and which ought, perhaps, to be unnecessary To improve these conditions it is my purpose to name a national touring committee, th" mem bers of which will volunteer to c »ll»ct in formation as ti the best routes ru_j_n_ through from state td state, and to suipy descrlp'lons of these routes to inquiring tour is:? frr.m lime to time. Mr. Ovitt recomended M. L. Kcowlton. of Minneapolis, as tho member of this commit tee from Minnesota. By a lucky chance Jaap EJen, the Dutch champion, did not sail for home on La Bour gogne, which wen*, down with 551 suuls on July 4, off Sable island. Eden went to New York, but when he reached the metropolis met a big meet promoter, who induced him to stay and fight it out for a time for the big money which would be offered. Eden was anxious ;o depart that he might have ampl? time In Europe to train for the international championships and for the races on the day of the coronation of the queen of Holland, of which country he is champion. Eden is to be decorated on that occasion. Eden stni'ei contentedly now, for he says that his luck would surely have carried him down with the hundreds of others. He doe 3 not say so, but it is a fact that Eden is so tender-hearted and easy-going that he would have stepped to one side ln the panic to aid the 100 women who were lost through the cruelty of the French sailors. Cn.stle \Vh«'e»njeu'.s Meet. PHILADELPHIA. July 16.— Major Taylor, the colored rider, carried off the, honors at the National circuit meeting of the Caotle Wheelmen, which wis held on the Tioga bi cycle track here this afternoon.

I". in Connection With Temple Kni li! '»>;. CHICAGO, July 16— State presidents of th..- National W. C. T. U., in execu tive session today, washed their hands of the Temple building enterprise, and adopted a resolution in which the fol lowing: language occurs: "And we recommend that no further call to local unions or efforts by them be made to sjc-ure ownership of or pay for the temple." This resolution was passed by a vote of 18 to 4, the opposition representing the trustees who are members of the executive council. A second recommendation, unani mously passed, disavows all legal ob ligation to pay for the $300,000 'trtust bonds on the temple building, but re quests that an effort be made to caned the "moral obligation" before the ntxt memorial convention, as a tribute to the expressed wishes and dying re quest of Miss Frances E.. Willard. The action of the body is subject to the approval of the national conven tion which meets in St. Paul next No vember. The ladies who opposed the adoption of the resolution were Mrs. B. S. Sco ville, of Minnesota; Mrs. Mary A. Up ham, of Wisconsin; Mrs. Marion H. Dunham, of lowaf Mrs. Annie W. Clark, of Ohio, and Mrs. Anna M. Bunt ing, of Nebraska. They adopted a minority statement to the effect that the final ownership of the temple was not impossible, and that the apparent hopelessness of the temple enterprise lay in discouragement and lack of united effort. The temple trustees tonight adopted a resolution to continue In their efforts to raise money to retire the temple trust bonds. MINNESOTANS* LUCK. Butler Brothers, of Ellsworth, Clear Ip Fortunes ln Alaska. VICTORIA, July 16.— The steamer Cottage City, which touched "here on her way to Seattle from Alaska, has on board twenty miners from Dawson City, with about three-quarters of a million dollars in gold dust and drafts, mostly the latter. They came up the Yukon river in a steamer to White Horse rapids, where they transferred to a Lake Bennett steamer. They say banking accommodations in Daws«n City are now so good that there is no need for men to bring away anything but drafts. They believe most of ths^ money will come out that way. Among the miners who came on the Dawson City, were the four Butler brothers, ot Ellsworth, Minn. The eldest went in three years ago: the other three last year. They have cleaned up a large amount on Bonne creek. They sold their claim to an English syndicate represented by McFarland and H. M. Coleman, the latter of whom came down last night. The price cannot be learned, but Coleman ls authority for the statement that it was a very large one. All the mc-n on board were very reticent, saying the imposition of the royalties caused them to refuse to state the full amount of money brought out. NEW WATERWAY. Preliminary Surveys Are to Be Made at Once. PLATTSBURG, N. T., July 16.—Gov ernment engineers and surgeons have arrived at Champlain, Clinton county, for the preliminary survey of the pro posed great ship waterway between the lakes and the Hudson via the St. Lawrence river and Lake Champlain. Appropriations for this survey have been made by congress and it is thought the report of the engineers will be favorable over either the Erie or Oswego canal routes, there being only Aye locks and a. comparatively short canal mileage between Lake Champlain and the St. Lawrence and Lake Champlain and the Hudson. The work now being done by the surveyors consists of estimates on excavations, locks and water supply. The Cham plain route is recommended by most of the leading engineers of the country. It is expected that the freight rates from Buffalo to New York can be re duced to twenty-five cents per ton by this route. DR. SEYMOUR CHOSEN. Succeeds Rev. Price 11s Minnesota "iliniiiKor, B. Y. P.

Dr. Chivers presented a supplementary re port of the board of managers, which was in substance, that the board has under con sideration the question of holding annual in stead of biennial conventions, and recm mends *hat the various unions instruct their delegates to the next convention as to the preferences. Resolutions were adopted unqualifiedly In dorsing President MeKlnley's policy in tha wnr with Spain: expressing the hope that in the treaty of peace to be mide with Spain, in all territory which falls into the power of the United States, whether ceded back to Spain or not, religious liberty and religious equality shall be established, with freedom of conscience and freedom of worship; pro testing against the army canteen anl de claring the Baptist union opposed to t!*e l qior traffic.

JIMMY MICHAEL HISSED BEATEN BY TOM.' LINTON IN A TWENTY-MILE RACE Michael Met With a Mishap and ihe Spectators TMohjHit He Showed 11 "Yellow Streak* Linton Low ered the World's Record for Fif teen Miles Another Match Ar ranged, t.: -! . -. NEW YORK, July I&— Fcr the second time this year, Jimmy Michael, the once invincible pac«d bicyclist, was forced to drink the bitter cup of defeat. His old schoolmate In Wales, Tom Lin ton, was the one to lower Michael's colors today, and at the same time he broke the world's record for the dis tance. Linton accomplished the feat In a twenty-mile paced race, at Manhat tan Beach, in the presence of 15.0J0 peo ple. For four miles it was a pretty race, Michael leading by a few -yards. Sud denly Michael's tire collapsed. Natural ly Linton pursued him and after r'ding two laps of the fifth mile Michael stop ped and pedaled slowly to "his corner," where he changed his damaged wheel for a new one. In the meantime, Lin ton kept going like the wind and be fore Michael came back on the track was one mile ahead. When Michael left the track he was greeted with a storm of hisses. It cer tainly appeared like a case of quit, as Michael could have changed his wheel and resumed his place b;'h*nd his pace makers with scarcely the loss of half a lap had he tried to do so. Michael met with another slight drawback on entering his tenth mile, -when his pac ing team broke a chain. After Michael let up there was lit tle Interest in the race o.utsdde of Lin ton's efforts to re-duce the record. Al though he tried hard, he could add no new figures until the fifteenth mile, when he started in by clipping 5 1-5 seconds off the record. He continued ahead of the record every mile until the finish, breaking 7 jjihe twenty-mile record by exactly:* se_en seconds. He could have made better time hod he hot lost his pacemakers .while rounding for the last lap. Not content with tb& result Michael at once challenged Linton for another raceat twen'ty-flve rotles. Linton ac cepted and the ra£e will be run at Man hattan Beach tr^-Ck Saturday next. Taylore, of Fran^i*;, "established a new kilometer record during the afternoon.

ERROR I CYCLE HISTORY "BICYCLE WINDOW" IN AN AN CIENT CHURCH Shows That All Historians ot the Wheel Have Been Mistaken Con cerning the Date of Its Origin The Evidence In Stained Class at the Edifice Made Famous by the Poet Grey. Correspondence The St. Paul Globe. LONDON, July I.— From the ancient chancel of a country church there has just come evidence that upsets the idea of the bicycle being a modern idea. In the village of Stoke Poges tihere stands one of those ivy-covered places of 1 worship that, viewed from the outside, STARTLING UPSET OP BICYCLE HISTORY. carry one back centuries, and viewed from the interior, while the rector ls droning- out the service, seem to be the acme of religious solemnity. Quaint nefes is the distinguishing characteristic of these old edifices; quaint pulpits of the pepper-box kltid, quaint pews, straight backed and solid; quaint peo ple, straight backed and siolid, too,' and regarding their ancient church with as much reverence as they do the British constitution. This is hardly the kind of place to look for evidence concerning the origin of that modern article of speedy frivolity, the bicycle. And yet it has just been discovered that here. In a stained glass window in the ancient church of Stoke Poges, made famouc as the place where the poet Grey ob tained the local coloring' for his Elegy, is a representation of the original o* all the great family of wheelmen and wheelwomen who possess our highways today. It is truly startling, this sudden dis covery of the oTiginal wheelman, for since the bicycle became popular many so-called authentic stories have been written, giving the exact date when the progenitor of the modern safety came Into existence, but none of the authors of these contributions to wheel ing literature mention the bicycle win dow in the church of Stoke Poges. Here, then, is the firpt Information the wheeling world will have of the exist-, er.ce of {this remarkable window, a pic ture of which is shown in the accom panying photograph. What artist made the window that shows the figure of a primitive man astride a wheel of curious construction is not known. The only thing actually certain about the record of the window is that the panel bears the date of 1642, which antedates the time when the first bicycle was supposed to have come Into existence by 120 years. To trace back the history of the bi cycle, it was introduced into England about 1873, and into the United States In 1877, ln the high wheel form, which was the immediate forerunner of the YIN MARIANI 1 _-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-H___l YIN MARIANI (MARIANI WINE) is invaluable at this season of the year, when, owing to trying climatic changes, the system is especially susceptible to attacks of debility and prostration.

About the year 1616 one Baron yon Drais devised a vehicle to assist him in the performance of his daily duties as chief forester of the Grand Duke of Baden, This machine, which was named Dralsine after the Inven tor, was thought to be the first rudi mentary bicycle. The bicycle depicted on the window of the Stoke Poges church bears a general resemblance to this Draisine machine, although It ls still more primitive Tn appearance. The Draisine was composed of two wheels connected by a bar, astride of which the "rider" sat, and propelle-d the machine by thrusting at the ground with his feet. "Johnston's Curicle" was the next step towards the modern bicycle. It was a "hobby horse" like the Draisine, and the ridicule It excited speedily caused its downfall. It was not until the invention of 1840 of the system of propulsion by means of a gear attach ed to the wheels that tho ui^jroi^-o popularity was assuied. Since then many able treatises on the subject of the bicycle's originator have given credit to the Baron yon Drals that will no longer be accorded him new that the existence of the bi cycle window of Stoke Poges church has been made public.
