president OF the New Jersey Central road;
Il. W. DeForest, Z. Helm, George 3.
Jones, u. M. Williams, Il. L. Hall and j.
W. Watson. Y. L. Hall was elected
president; George Jones, secretary and

dent. j. Il. Franklin IL general agent,
and Ia located for tho present ct this
place. They have a force Of carpenters
and from 80 to 100 track men now at
work. Mr.. Bingham, Jay Gould's
lawyer, who was here yesterday, says the
road will be completed TO Colchester
Beach at an early day. The moving
spirit in the new road Is, TO all appear
ancs, Emil Thelin, but behind him is the
Central railroad OF New Jersey. MIR.
Thelin has visited Smyrna several times,
and is meeting with the encouragement
OF the people Of that vicinity.
II is understood that Thelin, who Is o
Philadelphia merchant, has made con.
tract with the New Jersey road. IL 10
proposed to spend 100000 in repairin
the road. An entire new track ia to be
laid and work will be commenced May
LIST. The Diamond State Iron Works will
furnish the iron supplies. 1t is expected
TO have the new road in running order by
July LIST. Fruit and passengers can then
be carried from Ohestertown to Boston
by train to Bombay Hook, and thence by
hoaters to Bay Side, New Jersey, there
connecting with the New Jersey Southern
road and then by way Of the Central of
New Jersey to New York city. 1t is ap.
parent that the Jersey Central intends TO
make an effort to cut into the p, w, IL
b. freight traffic and the new road claims
that they can land fruit In New York
several hours earlier than the Pennsyl-
vania. The latest map of the New Jersey
Central places the new road as one OF
its branches. The name of the old

made in the rules by which the useless,

result was anticipated by many who
knew the two men rs the distance Is TOO
short for Mcdaniel to show hia staying
powers while Kolb has always been
faster short distance rider and now holds
the two miles championship Of Pennsyl-
vanis. Mcdaniel pinned his faith on
winding his competitor on the up-graaes
and he did set the pace until near the
finish when Kolo spurted past him and
beat him across the finish by 81 or ~
yards.
y. Wallis Merrihew OF this city, started
40 feet behind the racers. He paced
Mcdaniel for the entire distance and then
at the finish easily pasEed both OF the
racers and finished 40 or 80 yards ahead
OF Kolb, showing that he could have won
IL he had been in the race and also prov
Ing conclusively that Mcdaniel was out

McOloskey, on a tandem, paced kolb,
and at the finish they beat every one OF

the Wilmington Wheel olub, also rode
the entire distance with the racers and,
although he difnot squirt at the fpish,
BIO allowed that no could have beaten
either man. About $40 wheelmen wit
messed the flush, but there was no
enthusiasm.
Mcdaniel rode the race as an indl-
yidual aud not as the representative OF
any club Although he made no condl-
tions MCDANIEL before the race, chal-
lenged Kolb to two additional races, one
from this city to Philadelphia by way Of
West Chester and Paoli and third one

first Of these would be real test OF en-
durRnoe aud speed, because 1t is over
ordinary country roads, while tho latter
is the shortest distance that can be re-
garded a. road race. Merrihew will
also challenge Kolb.
