The Ladies Bicycle Tournament has
very picturesque incident when, on
the second day, the leader IN the race
fell and the other girls came down in
heap. one muscular champion jumped
up first, and seized the fallen wheeler to
raise her, when suddenly there
was one female scream, and then a
chorus. "Oh, my" yelled the chorus
she's got q board, and lis man"
which was u fact, for Champion Cudlip
had put up Job on the girls and gotten
into the tournament as a woman, with
the certainty Of soooping the first prize
The way no came to be caught was that
u female trainer caught him in the
act Of saving of his beard with a
razor in the most artistic bachelor
fashion, and thought, Of course, that the
excitement Of tbs race had unhiDged n
delicate set Of female nerves and q sen'i-
tive soul OF the same sex There was an
alarm Of suicide which the supposed Te
male champion managed 10 quiet But
be OF she had TO 90 out on the track with
a two days beard on, and that unfoftu-
nate accident gave tbs thing away. But
the feminine heart is not adamant when
a man in distress is in view, and hence
champion Cudlip escaped with whole
skin, but 10 lost the prize, and thinks
now that 'twere better to be lashed with
whip Of scorpions than to DO the target
OF so much ridicule.
The moral Of this story is that girls
should not be deceived nor triaed with.

THE Terminal system covers over 5000
