Everything uus ueen none mat couia De done to have the races successful and to accommodate the crowds that will attend. Although no spe cial trains will be run it is understood that large numbers will come from Meriden. Wal- lingford, Derby,Bridgeport and other smaller towns hereabouts to witness the races of both days. So great is the interest in bicycling. Indeed, there is no form of racing that is more thoroughly delightful, free as it is from all objectionable associations. The Hamilton Park track, which has been a bone of contention in the L. A. W., was measured yesterday by Mr. Weaver of the Spirit of the Times, A. P. Bayard, editor of the Amateur Athlete, Dr. N. P. Tyler, chief consul of the L. A. W., and Captain Fred n. ronton oi tneiNew .Haven Bicycle club. I he track was found to be 14 feet and 8 inches over a mile in length. Curbing has been pnt in on the turns, which will prevent riders from gaining an unfair advantage by running ciose to tne rainng. A large force of men, teams and rollers was at work ves- terday getting the track in order, and it was pronounced in hne condition by the English nyers, setters, jnamDers,Uaskiel and Illston, whe were out practicing on it yesterday. This af ternoon Richard Howell, the great ex-champion, will strain every nerve to beat the record of 2:39 for the mile.

In order to get them here in time the club have chartered a special train which will bring them here in good season for the evening's exhibition. The club is consequently at considerable expense to fulfill its agreements and they deserve patronage accordingly. If the weather is favorable it is safe to predict that there will be immense crowds in atten dance at both days' races. Thu evening there will be a meeting of the State division, L. A. W., in the room of tne iNew .Haven .bicycle club in Masonic Hall building. Headless Body Identified.

Three places in West Stratford were visit ed by thieves Saturday night. Broch's grocery store, Farrell O'Reilly's residence and John Riley's grocery were each visited, but nothing of great value was taken. At the former place the burglars were probably frightened away after having bored through the frame to one of the front window. At O'Reilly's . residence they ransacked the lower floor of the house, taking a gold locket and some clothing. They gained an entrance through a rear window. At Riley's store they broke in through a cellar window. Two money drawers were found opened and a small amount of cash taken. As yet no clue has been obtained to the robbers. Aged Seventy-Nine.

Mnch of the distress and sickness attribu ted to dyspepsia, chronic diarrhoea and other causes is occasioned by humor in the stom ach. Several cases, with all the character istics of these complaints, have been cured by Hood's Sarsaparilla. Other cures effected by this medicine are so wonderful that the simplest statement of them affords the best proof that it combines rare curative agents, and when once need secures the confidence of the people.

The Philadelphia is now lying near the East Chapel street bridge on the Quinnipiac river. Captain Hinman will take the boat South m about two weeks.

Bacon, pastor of the Dwight Place church, stated yesterday that ne knew of no defection amone his member ship because of his attacks as an Indeoendent Republican, and that if there was any it was news to him. He knew that a maioritv of his members were Republicans. He had no feeling of defection as regards Mr. Harrison, whom he should vote for for Governor. He disclaimed approval of any idea that the nul- pit is a fit place to make stump speeches rrom, but claimed the rights of an American citizen as to his political preferences. The College Football Season. Now that we have returned and had tinr9 to get settled, the first thing that interests us is the condition of our football eleven and our chances for the championship. In the jjiuch we nave lost onr last year s cap tain, end-rush, and quarter-back, and while we have a good captain to take his place still we shall miss him from the rusher fine. The position of quarter-back can, we think be fairly well filled, although it will be im possible to get anyone to entirely fill Twom- bly s place. But we have no one for end- rush this year who is nearly up to the re quired standard. Thus we find ourselve. with three valuable men gone, and while their places may be ever so well filled, stilj there will be three remarkably good players gone. And the complement of the team will have to be made np of raw and inex penenced men. Considering the chance of Harvard, we find that they still keep nearly all of their old men, and those they lose are for the most part from unim portant positions. At Princeton, Moffat is coming back, and we hear rumors of the re turn as a post-graduate of a certain famous player. So that taking it all in all "-we are probably the worst off of any of the colleges. And realizing this it is our duty, whoever of ns play at all, to go out, not occasionally uuriig tne rail, Dut systematically olten as is possible. No one should think that one more, or less will make no difference and therefore stay away, ior every one is valuable and helps. Then, too, the freshmen should turn ont in large numbers and should put every good- su.eu man in tneir class m tneir field imino- diately, in order that if any have the stuff ior tne university m them it may have time for development. They should also choose tlieir eleven as soon as they can and give it hearty support, both financially and by their presence at tneir games. Yale Daily News. Kid Cloves.
