1t ought to have been stated heretofore
that the reason there was not a larger
parade OF the wheelmen, Wednesday, was
through misunderstanding as to whether
there was to be a parade or not. large
majority of the wheelmen took it for
granted the parade of Tuesday was the
only one in which they were TO take part,
that being the extent of the previous an
nounceneut. Had they been notified of Il
Wednesday parade, they say they would
have been on hand, seventy.fve strong.
The exhibit of the Martins Ferry school
was particularly attractive. Several
children worked in clay and made many
articles, while othsIs built miniature
houses and churches with toOthpicks and
beans, and many other articles, both use
ful and ornamental, we're displayed as the
handiwoIk Of the pupils of the above
named school. The display reflected great
credit on Prof. Sparkle, Superintendent Of
the school, who has charge of the exhibit,
which is near the middle of the building
in the north wing.

in the $50 trot did not have the chance
due him. He was only put in training last
May and was never driven by sny one but

last Saturday, which necessitated a new
driver being put behind him. He trotted
the first mile in 2:33i, with driver who
had never driven line ca hin, bat the
field was large and seemed TO rattle him.
But in the last heat he showed speed
enough to have won the race, and he
would likely have done 30 hsd his driver
been able to have driven him.
The display made by the Standard Axle
Company, in Machinery Hall, is attracting
great deal Of attention from people in
terested in ali sorts Of vehicles. The COM
psny displays about 4 score or more Of
axles. OF all grades and sizes, and the
workmanship is of the finest while the
material is about the best ever pu. in that
sort Of work. The latter fac. is attested
by samples Of axles, cold hammered, and
twisted, the metal standing the severest
test withou. a flaw or a split, while some
of the samples which have been hammered
and twisted hot, are wonderful. The
Standard manufactures its own iron and
steal l, snd it is OF the very highest grade.
The exhibit is handy, and ought to be ex-
amined by everybody to-day.
