The bicycle lantern pnrnde.

Tomorrow evening the Wheeling
Wheelmen will give their first Lantern
Parade, and which do doubt, will be the
finest they have yet had. They will
meet ut the City Building at 80 o'clock
and start ut $ o'clock, going over the fol-
lowing route: Out Sixteenth to Wood,
to Eighteenth, to Chapline, to Church
alley to Market, to Twentieth, to Chap
line, to Twenty-seventh, to Eof, to
Fortieth, counter-march to Twenty.sev-
enth, to Chapline, to Twenty-iourth, to
Main, to Fifth, counter-march to bridge,
to Virginia street out to end OF brick
pavement, counter-march to New Fair
Grounds and the Germania picnic.
Lanterns ind sticks to fasten them on
bicycles with, can be had at Goetze's
drug store by all wheelmen free Of
charge. He has also just received a full
line Of whistles. 1t would be well for
all to get their supplies before the hour
OF parade to avoid the rush and delay.
tits especially desired that there be
large turnout OF wheelmen; first, be-
cause OF the large number of strangers
in the city TO whom the parade may be n
pleasing novelty, and second, because
the Germania Society has so kindly ar
ranged to entertain the 'cyClers. Their
picnic and SOmmernachyest promises to
be charming affair in every particular.

WHEELING WHIPS CANTON
And Has No Trouble In Doing It-Other
Games Played Yesterday.

Games Played IeHteFdnys
The Wheeling club downed the Cam
ton club yesterday in very slow and
IistIess game. Bausewfne was hit almost
at will, and when the Wheeling boys got
tired of making runs they inadvertently
tried to steal second and got put ont
Knauss pitched n good game for Wheel
ing, his sharp fielding being one Of the
features. Nichol hit the ball for clean
hit every time he came to the bat, ex-
cept in the ninth inning. Crogan dis
tinguished himself ut first by one
handed catch that prevented Canton
from scoring, a play that no one ex-
pected he would make. Canton
played a very loose game, but, at the
same time could not hit Knauss to any
advantage. Yaik's baCkstop work was
nothing short OF brilliant, and his throw
ing to bases was perfect.
To-day the Mansfield club plays with
Wheeling at the Island park, and to-
morrow they will play postponed game

uled game in the afternoon. The au-
dienCe present yesterday afternoon was

noticed number OF the Sons OF Veter-
ans. The attention OF all visiting Sons
OF Veterans who want to witness one OF
the best base ball games they ever saw
is directed to the skiff ferry at the foot
OF Twelfth street. A number yesterday
bought tickets for Moundsville, thinking,
no doubt, that the club was jailed.
Following is the score Of yesterdays
game:

SPECIALLY ATTRACTIVE FEATURES

That will he Found ut the Coming State
Fair-Thc Agricultural Station.
1t is already an assured fact that the
eighth annual fair OF the West Virginia
State Fair and Exposition Association,
to be held on its grounds at the foot Of
Wheeling Island August 81, IS, 90, SC
and 81, will be the best in every partic'
ular OF any fair ever held in this section
OF the country. The exhibits promise
to be larger and more varied than ever
before. The live stock departments, al-
ways notable features, will be more Mt
tractivc than they have everbeen known
to be before, and in every department
there will be found that which will
both please and instruct. Judging from
reports that have been received
from the commissioners having i'll
charge the county exhibits for the State
Exposition department, new feature
that promises much, and from other
sources, the interest that is being taken
in the coming fair by people throughout
the State and in the counties Of Ohio and
Pennsylvania that border West Virginia,
is quite marked and the indications are
that it will result in n much larger at
tendance than ever known.
Reference has been made to the per-
manent improvements that the AssoCia-
ton has been making in preparing for
this fair, and some OF them haye been
mentioned in detail. One OF the perma-
nent buildings TO DO used for the first
time this year is one for the display OF
poultry, dogs, cats, etc.
This building is nearing completion
and is under the supervision OF L. W.
Welser, OF Bellaire, who has given the
department agreat amount OF attention
for several months past; it will be one OF
the attractive features during the EX.
position and Fair. Fanciers Of dogs and
cats will be pleased to know that Il
new feature has been added in their
interest by the addition OF ia dog and
cat show in the new wooden poultry
building now being built. Liberal cash
premiums IRE offered, and the boys with
their dogs and the maidens with their
feline beauties will doubtless make the
show success.
Another improvements in Machinery
Hall, where there will be found us eX-
tensive a general display as ever made
before; and in addition, there will be es-
tablished before the Fair commences an
Agricultural Experimental Station. This
station has been lately authorized by the
United States Government TO be cstab-
lished in this State, and Prof. j. A.
Myers has been appointed at Superin-
tendent OF it. Prof. Myers has or
dered o complete outfit for the
station from Philadelphia. He has
arranged to set this machinery up on the
grounds and will have complete arrange,
ments for running cream separator to
test the quality OF milk. This will be n
grand opportunity for farmers to test the
dairy qualities Of their cattle and will be
u novelty to visitors,

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.

The election Of officers of the Com.
handkerchief OF the Sons OF Veter.
ans promises to be exciting, MS there are
four candidates in the field. The pres
ent incumbent, Gen. G. B. Abbott, OF
Illinois, is n candidate for reelection,
and there seems to be greater opposi-
ton to him than it was at first thought
there would be. Lieutenant General
Frazee, OF Ohio, Colonel L. II. Milham,
Of Minnesota, and Hon. Leland J. Webb,
OF Kansas, are the other candidates.
The contest will be lively one, and al
ready eleCtioneering has begun,

to own four Of these teams, which he
imported to this city from other places,
in order to avoid compliance with the
agreement to employ home labor. We
are prepared to prove that these teams
do not belong TO Mr. Chisholm and that
part OF the contract Mr.. Chisholm has
with ,these teams is that they are to
be represented as his personal property,
the reason therefor being that they
would not be allowed TO work on said
contract otherwise, on account OF the
home labor agreement.
