 N. A. Tanner, a Flyer From Fair Hav- en, Almost Wins the Two-MiIe.Race at Lfncoln's Rfnk-C. ID. Allen Too Agile For Him.
 Nine adventurous individuals put on skates and braved the terrors and hardships of a two-mile race at the Lincoln rink last night. They were anxious for glory al any cost. They cast discretion to the winds and pluck ed up all the daring they possess.
 Their names are Alderman J. N. States, the well known ticket agent, Professor R. C. Loveridge, of Business college fame, s. B. Opdyke superintendent of the New Haven and Northampton Railroad company, G. W. Sanford, well known State street sales man, N. A. Tanner of Fair Haven, formerly the proprietor of Home Cheer but now re- tired upon fortune acquired in journalism, Wilbur Hall of the Shore Line railroad, 0. D. Allen, R. H. Miller and F. E. s. Munger, the popular clerk at the Selden House. On the start there was great struggle, a loud uproar and several of the players went down. The Fair Havener was the first to come to the front, closely pursued by MT. Opdyke There was 8 grim look of determi- nation on the ex-journalist's face, and he  which put him well ahead and caused the first explosion from the spectators. Clerk Munger and Salesman Sanford were having little sport by themselves, and Alderman States cheeks became more rosy than ever in the excitement of the moment. On the first round there were as nearly as could be ascertaired, eleven falls. The winged Fair Havener was ahead. With widely varying success the gentlemen skated around. They kept up courage. AL len soon got the lead and went lap ahead of his competitors. MT. Tanner thought he was ahead and could scarcely be prevailed upon to stop after the race had been conclud- ed. He finished second, R. H. Miller third. The disappointed contestants claimed that Allen had skated before the Lincoln rink was built and therefore ought to be ruled out. There was no money to squabble over, but it them will think this morning that they got it at dear price they annoint themselves with some soothing liniment. Slipped On the Ice. William Meskill who lives at 325 James street. Fair Haven, fell on the sidewalk last night and dislocated his hip. Dr. Bronson, of Fair Haven, attended him.
