4 WORK AWHEEL Draws the Biggest Crowd in History LITTLE KISER LANDS ON TOP WINNING THE PROFESSIONAL HALF AND KILE JLacing Was Good But the World's M Mile Becard Proved to Stout for Breaking Associated Press Special Wire. PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Aug. 6.—The greatest race meet in the history of American cycling came to an end this evening at Willow Grove park, when the eighteenth annual meet of the L. A. W. closed. In attendance there has never been a race meet that has veen ap proached it. During the two days of racing nearly 45,000 persons witnessed the striving of the cracks from all parts of the United States, two from Mexico and the Canadian crack, Loughead), for fame and prizes. Yesterday's attend ance of 15,000 was very nearly doubled todtay, with an attendance of between 26,000 and 27,000. In the professional racing all the circuit chasers showed themselves to be in fine form, which re- suited In. the closest and most strategic competition that has been witnessed! in a long time. Fred Loughead, the Sarnia, Ont., lad who carried, off the honors ye9terdav, kept up his fine work today, but little Earl Kiser landed on top, winning the half mile professional and the great mile open professional. A purse of $500 was dividedie among the winners of the latter race. Eddie Bald also added to his reputation, as while no firsts appear to his credit, yet his seconds in the mile open and the five mile professional were within a hair's breadth of being first. In each and every race in which he com peted he displayed remarkable Judg ment. "Major" Rice, the colored favorite, was a hot favorite in the mile open heat, which was won by him and finished in good style. For a while it looked as though he would be the wienner of the final, but the others proved too speedy for him and the best he could do was to land a very close fourth. . Among tho amateurs there was much good racing, and/ Peabody, Llewellyn and Mertz put up the finest exhibition. In. most of the amateur events the riding was close and in but few instances did the boys show any evidences of loafing. - After the scheduled events had been run off, Fred Schade, the Virginia ama teur, succeeded let breaking the worlds record for one-third of a mile. Schade was paced by two quads and, got away beautifully. He hugged the quadsclose ]y and finished in a terrific pace in 32 4-5 seconds, lowering Porter's record of 34 1-5 seconds made in 1894.' In addition to this there was a number of trials at the world's championship record for one mile, amateur and'professional. Church . covered the three laps in 1:43 3-5, and but for the second pacing team's slowness would have chopped at least two seconds oft the time he made. Major Taylor had. the next try with a quad and triplet as pacemakers. The major crossed the tape in 1:45 3-5. Johnny Zimmerman rode an exhibi tion half mile in 53 2-5 seconds, and Ar thur Gardiner, paced by quads, did a mile in 1:44. This brought the racing to a close. The first event on today's program, after the trial heats, was the mile handi cap for professionals, in which Cooper, Bald, Kiser, loughead, Johnson, Mc- Farland and Nat Butler were the scratch men.

BERLIN, Aug. 7.—The cloudbursts and Inundations which have devastated the eastern part of Germany are the worst which have occurred since 1870. According to the local statistics, 105 per sons were killed in Silesia alone and in Saxony the casualties will not fall short of 180. The financial losses foot up over 150,000 marks. Through a landslide of the highest summit of the Silesian mountains, the hotel Schneekopfe was carried down and burled with all Its oc cupants. Emperor Francis Joseph of Austria has granted 30,000 florins from his pri vate purse for the relief of the sufferers; the queen of Saxony has granted 20,000 marks and the regent of Bavaria 15,000 marks for the same purpose. Emperor William of Germany has not yet made a donation to the people who have suf fered from the floods in the eastern parts of the country, although he has given 25,000 marks to the sufferens in Alsace. The German newspapers continue to discuss the new United States tariff and to cal! for reprisals, but the Associated Press learns from the foreign office that the government of Germany has no in tention of beginning a tariff war. Before starting for Russia Emperor William received a number of threaten ing letters from Nihilists and Pan-Slav* ists. In consequence of this one of the shrewdest criminal commissioners, Dr. Henninger, with a section of the Berlin political police, was sent to Peterhof palace a week ahead of Emperor Wil liam, and this corps of detectives will ac company him everywhere during his stay In Russia. The emperor recently discovered in a sailor of the Hohenzollern named Ober meyer, a native of Baden, a remarkable talent for painting and sketching, and his majesty has sent him to the art academy of Berlin, charging himself with the sailor's education. The Japanese government has ordered from the Vulcan works a battleship of OSOO tons, which is to cost 13,000,000 marks. Ambassador White gives a positive de nial of the rumor that he Is to succeed Mr. Sherman as secretary of state. Mr. White cays no overtures have been made to him since his arrival in Ber lin.
