THE BICYCLE CONTEST.
Nash vs. Ley at the Rock Island Rink
Last Eyening...An Interest.
ing Affair.

The first of the series of the three bicy-
Gle contests was won by Nash before q
good sized audience at the rink last ev-
ening, Notwithstanding the extreme cold
weather. At O'Clock the surface was
cleared and the Judges and referee took
their places on stand that has been es-
pecially arranged for future use by
judges and reporters. Manager Harvey
Immediately made his appearance, and in
his business like way announced the
contest, and rules governing the same,
after which the coronet was sounded and
Messrs. Nash and Ley appeared before
the audience and skinned over the floor
like race horses, producing very cleo
trifying effect. A moment later Mr. Nash
disappeared behind the curtain of the
professional room and Mr.. Ley COM
menced his work on the bicycle on two
wheels, AMI astonished the audience by
his many difficult and numerous tricks.
One of the mostl difficult was the rid
ing on the front of the handle bars
also changing from the front of the han
die bars and regaining his seat in the sad
die. After performing for nearly fifteen
minutes, he retired, and Master Nash al
peared and performed, with a few excep,
tons, nearly all the tricks and moves
made By Prof. Ley. with an ease and
grace that was received with loud APP
plause. His spin in the centre of the
floor with the little wheel in the air fairly
brought the house down.
Mr.. Ley reappeared on one wheel and
performed many difficult feats. A mum
Der OF his tricks were very fine and met
with recognition az once from the au.
dence On his retirement Mr.. Nash
rode out on one wheel. and many wht
thought that the previous riding by lie,
was wonderful were surprised by tn
many daring feats performed by this in
trcp;d rider The audience applaudet
loudly as he rode fearlessly over half
dozen tllts, and flight of steps, putting
one in mind of an English hurdle race
Mr.. Ley then appeared with the bar,
wheel and rode forwards and back wards
after which Mr.. Nash reappea5cd on tn,
bare wheel, and after riding forwards ant
backwards, and spinning, rode as cas-
and gracefully over the foot steps an,
tits as if he were riding OF
four wheels instead of one
The contest for the evening wa
brought to a close by both riders per
foring on common wagon wheel. Tn
judges, Mr. Slei9ht of Moline, and DR.
McCandless of this city, arrived at
decision without leaving it to Mr.. Georg
Dunn, of Moline, referee, by awarding th
con test to Mr.. Nash
The second contest will take place Sal
urday evening, and Mr.. Ley says he wi
endeavor to show that what he may lac
in one wheel riding be will make up i
two, and seems to feel confident that b

The Musical and Literary Entertain
ments at Twins Opera House, on Friday
and Saturday nights, Of last week, were
of a very interesting character, and great
" enjoyed by large audiences. 1t is i'm
possible for us to give the entire program
but we can not refrain from mentioning
few. The quartette "Song ftbe Triton
by Mrs. Walker, Miss Haas and Messrs.
Baker and Keller, was finely rendered,
and warmly applauded. The Duet, mid
summer Nights Dream by Miss Ma
thews, Of Edinburg, and Mr.. Snyder, Of
Sirasburg, was very sweetly and correct
" played. "Too late for the train read
ing. by Miss Hannah, was very amusing
and provoked hearty laughter. a Calls
thenic drll, by sixteen young girls, was
admirably gone through with and reflect
ed great credit on the performers az well
as Miss Belle Hannah, who taught them
waiting Heart" a vocal solo, by Miss
Alice Walton, was sweetly and feelingly
sung, her finely cultivated voice filling the
hall with tie rich notes. "When the
Swallows Homeward Fly" by Mrs. Walk
or, was real treat, her splendid voice
being in perfect condition. The selecI
reading by Mrs. T. b. Richey and Mis-
Bennett, of Winchester, were greatly en-
ioyed their efforts being much superior t.
those of many professional readers. "Th'
Happy Pair" in one act, by Mr.. Robert }

One of the most revolving crimes that
ever shocked civilized community in the
South came to light Tuesday Of last week
at Chattanooga, leading to the arrest Of a
young confectioner Of that city named
GrafIln Ayers, charged with having ont
ragged two of his young sisters. One Of
them has gwen birth to a child and the
other is enciente, both testifying that he
overcame them by threats Of killing them
if they resisted his brutality. The sisters
are represented as beautiful young ladies
ofeighteen and sixteen years Of age, here
tofore sustaining high character for viz
tue in the society in which they moved
Naturally the horrible double crime has
aroused great feeling Of Indignation in
that city, in which the two brothers Of the
.uned family join, demanding that the
beastly prisoner now in Jail be punished to
the full extent Of the law. The penalty
prescribed by statute for such crimes when
viewed in the light Of justice and humani-
ty, seems totally inadequate to punish the
perpetrator. The severest penalty is TWEEN
ty-one wears in the state penitcntiary and
the least five years. The Times says there
is no doubt that Ayers will get the full
extent Of the law, but that leaves justice
still outraged and its demands unsatis-
fed.

A sensation attended the marriage in
Charlottesville last week Of Annie Cox
and William Jackson. Annies mother,
whom most people regard as n mulatto'
claims to be Of Indian extraction, with
no negro but some white blood In her
veins, and she objected to the marriage OF
her daughter, whose father was white
man, TO NEGRO" The daughter persist
ed In her determination 80 firmly that her
mother drove her away from home, and on
the evening Of the marriage went to q
neighbor's, where Annie had taken refuge
and assaulted her with cowhide The
girl appealed to the police for protection
which was granted, the officers even at
tending at the church during the marriage
ceremony. The firm perseverance, OF The
Girl and the turbulence Of her bigh-strunl
mother aroused the deepest feeling among
the whites. A large crowd composed o
both races witnessed the marriage, which
was followed bys reception. Bride and
groom bear excellent characters, and ar'
very we'll educated.

The fruit season is upon us, and those
who are fond Of small fruits, such as Der
ries Of different kinds, cherries, &c, can
luxuriate upon them. One of our eH'
changes, speaking on the subject of fruit
eating, says Fruits to do their best
work, should be taken on an empty siom-
ach or simply with bread-neyer with veg
etables. In the morning, before the fast
Of the night has been broken, they are
not only exceedingly refreshing, but they
serve az a natural stimulant to the diges-
tive organs. And to produce their fullest,
richest effect, they should be ripe sound,
and in every way of good quality; more
over they should be eaten raw. What is
better than bunch Of luscious grapes OF
plate of berries or cherri es on SUNNI, I
morning, the first thing on sitting down
to breakfast Or fine ripe apple, rich
and juicy, eaten in the same way In our
climate apples should constitute not the
finishing but the beginning Of the meal
particularly the breakfast, for at least four
months Of the year, the fruit, raw OF
cooked, should make part OF the morning
and evening meal provided suppers are
eaten during the entire year.
