THE CAPITAL BICYCLE CLUB.
New Officers Eiectcd-The Clubs Atl,-
letic Grounds.

The June meeting OF the Capital Bicycle Club
was held Saturday night, with about forty men,
bers III attendance. The following officers were
elected for the ensuing year: President. Dr.
Gabriel Z. Johnson; vice president. Harry n
Low; secretary, Frank II. Stevens; treasurer.
j. L. Leaning; captain. L. A. Demaray; MEN,
bers OF executive committee. j. Mex. Borden.
DR.. II. {. Schooley, J.. Williamson and L. B.
Odds.
Capt Demaray read an entertaining and
amusing report. giving the record Of the clubs
recent runs. The report Of the treasurer
showed that the financial affairs of the club
were in most satisfactory condition. The ex-
eursion committee announced that arrange
ments had been perfected for the annual ex-
cnrsion of the club on the Manchester TO Mar
shall Hall on the 2d of July. A communication
was read from Mr.. ". C. Dodge presenting
the club with n handsome refrigerator, which
was accepted with thanks.
Mr.. Douglas Dyrenforth on behalf of the
Potomac Athletic Club, announced that the
board of governors of the latter organization
had concluded to invite several Of the clubs of
the city to amalgamate with the PotOmacs in
the use of their new athletic grounds on the
Virginia shore between the Long and Auueduct
Bridges. Mr.. Dyrcnforth introduced a -esolu-
ton referring this invitation to a special conf
mittee for consideration, but after discussion
the matter was sent to the existing committee
on athletic grounds. which has just succeeded
in securing for The Capitsl Club a tract OF
several acres on the Virginia heights above
Aqueduet Bridge. As the club has but re-
Gently made this move of establishing field for
athletic sports it is not probable that the offer Of
the Potomacs will be accepted, although
the most friendly feeling exists between the
two clubs. The members of the Capital Club
have all been made honorary members of the
Aualostan Boat Club and given the privileges
of the latter's new club house for the summer
This is in recognition of the courtesy shown by

IN MONTGOMERY COUNTY.
Farmers Al ong the Canal Favor the
Building of Railroad.
Of TIVE EvEsIsG STAR.

Correspondence OF TIE EvEsISG STAR
ROCKVILLE, June Is.
Ever since the appointment of receivers by
the courts presided over by Judges Cox of the
District and Alvey of Washington county, this
state, to examine into the affairs of the Chesa-
peake and Ohio canal the people in this county
who have heretofore had only the means of tho
canal for the transportation of their crops to
market have been i'll a feverish state Of uncer-
tainty. 1t was well known that Mr.. johnson Of
Alegany, one of the receivers was i'll favor of
the restoration Of the waterway, and the de-
eision of Messrs. Baker and Bridges, both of
whom have interests in the upper counties Of
western Maryland, were looked to with grea,
interest. Now that the decision has been unani-
mously made that under no circumstances can
the canal be repaired and made to pay expenses
the farmers along the canal naturally look to
the best other means to relieve them from their
unfortunate situation. The lands lying within
five miles of the defunct canal III this county
and the same may be said Of those of
Frederick, Washington and Allegany, are
perhaps not surpassed for fertility by any
lands III the state, and the only drawback to
prosperity lies in the fact that these farmers
have at present no means of reaching market
except by long haul by wagons TO the nearest
station on the Baltimore and Ohio railroad
Yesterday the correspondent OF The STAR had
Il talk with two of the largest and mos. pros
porous farmers living in the section trayersed
by the defunct canal, and their opinion was
that unless something WAS speedily done for
the relief of the people living III that locality
the consequences would be serious in finan-
ciai point of view. Not only the farmers are
suffering, but great number of people who
have looked to the canal for livelihood here
tofore are thrown out of employment and gaunt
poverty is staring them Ill the face. In this
state of affairs they are anxiously looking to
Judge Alvey of the circuit court for Washing
ton county for q decision authorizing the sale
or lease of the canal property for the use of a
railroad. Nine-tenths of the people living
along the line of the canal are in tayor of
granting the right to build a railroad to com,
pany organized for that purpose.
1t 10 proposed at al early day to hold mass
meetings III the several counties Oh the line of
the canal and to respectfully ask the court to
make an early decision in the matter that viii
relieve the people interested from further un-
certainty.
During the past week several sales Of lots
have been made in Rockville Heights among
them lots and 2, in block Is, TO Mrs Mary e.

Twice His Normal Size.

Robert Mekelvey, . newsboy, eleven years
old, died in Birmingham, Ala, Saturday, from
a snake bite received . week ago. He went
swimming in creek near the city and while
in the water was bitten by o snake. The wound
caused him little or no pain for a day or two,
but his leg began to swell, fever followed and
he was soon raving in delirium. The swelling
continued until his entire body was swollen to
twice its normal size. The doctors could do
nothing to relieve him. He foamed at the
mouth and raved like one suffering from HYDRO
phobia. When he died the leg on which he
was bitten had swollen to four times it's normal
size.

being more than treble that Of any other Wash
ington newspaper.
2. The STAR has larger and fuller circula-
ton in the city where printed, in proportion to
reading and purchasing population, than any
other newspaper in TIE world. 1t is essentially
a home paper, the extent to which il is relied
upon by members of the household, particu-
larly by the purchasing portion Of the commu-
nifty, being the marked characteristic OF the
paper. 20 which no other daily Journal now
published can furnish parallel.
8. Inc value of advertising is in direct pro-
portion to the circulation Of the paper, con-
sidering the character OF its readers. Weighed
III this balance The STAR Is one Of the cheap
est advertising mediums in the United States

6. The fact that The STAR is universally rec
ognized as the great Want medium of the
city and the advantages Of making wants
known through it.
