played low-down trick on dude who
sought to make an impression on the
fair rider. The dude had sent to the
box Office of the building where she
was riding very handsome bouquet to
be given her on the track. The
newspaper man had the entree to the
office, and when his eyes fell
on the bouquet he drew from
it the dudes card, tore it
up, slipped in his own, and sent the
bouquet to the dashing Helen. The
dude doesn't know to this day that his
bouquet went to Baldwin as the gift of
an ordinary newspaper man. Miss
Baldwin was bonn in New York city in
1871, and will be twenty years of age on
the Esd of next month. She is bru-
nette. with large, dark brown eyes. and
is of fine figure. She is one of the kind
of women that men are apt to rave
about. She has a splendid record on
the wheel, one of her most remarkable
achievements having been the covering
of 7S4 miles in seven-day race, eight
hours day. She rides a forty-eight
inch wheel.
Her associate, Miss George La Porte,
is Minneapolis lady. She was born in
New Orleans, and is not yet nineteen
years of age. She is of Spanish descent,
and the fiery determination of her race
! is evident in her work, for, while she
has been in the cycling arena but two
months, she has accomplished some re-
markable feats, and is looked upon as
one of the coming champions of the
country. During her brief career on
| the track she has received three very
| bad falls, and twice has been carried
| insensible from the track; but little
! thing like that doesn't "phaZe" her, as
| the boys of the street would say. These
| two ladies are to ride their wheels on a
! board track from S to 10 each night this
week, beginning Monday, in an effort
| to cover a greater number of miles than
the two pedestrians, Messier and Con.
nors, will cover in gO-as-you-pleaSe
sprint at the same time. Messier is well
known here, and COnnors is one of the
best of peds, SO that the Grace is to be al
exciting one from start to finish.
In addition to the main race. there is
to be a chance for amateurs. There will
be heat contests each evening for al
corners, and Saturday evening the win
ners of heats will ride a deciding race
for the gold and silver championship
medals. There is large number o
bicyclists in st. Paul, many of whom
have been yearning for an opportunit.
to display their prowess, and now the
time has come, and they are all out Il
do some tall work. The amateur rae
begins Tuesday evening.

your good opinion. and that shall be able to
see YOU this fall or winter. Shall you proba'
bly, be East during that timer
Acting on this implied invitation Mr.

that, if he did, he would be elected by
fusion with the Independents. Judge

ROPE OF RARE ROSES.
Fairy-Like Electrical Effects at a
London Supper.

Eairy-Like Electrical EneCCS at q
London Supper.
Philadelphia Record.
The decorative uses of electricity
were most wonderfully shown at the
recent "artistic supper'' given 1.-THE
Continental Gallery i'll London by
Jan Van Beers. The novelty of a lum-
inous table was introduced; it consist
ed of solid slab of plate glass covered
with transparent cloth, through which
shone the light from over $50 incandes-
cent lamps of prismatic colOrs.
These were skillfully hidden from
view and were under control of the
host, who now and again flooded the
table with dazzling briiliancy of varied
hues, or sutfused gentle glow bewild-
eringly beautiful.
In addition, across the table, artistical-
" laid, ran a rope of roses, apparently
to connect three gilt statuettes holding
upright wreaths of the same bloom, but
which easily concealed the slender cleo
trio wire that let the white, pink and
yellow lamps that swung in the wreaths
glow with refulgent light.
