for some form of amusement for
Decoration day. Thursday, the
Thirtie;h'' is not usually
balmy, summer-like day in. the region
about the Lake City, but Chicago riders
are hardy fellows and push their wheels
as merriiy through the mud aud sieet of
winter roads as over the smooth surface of
the summer boulevard. Hence it is not
strange that .'hare and hounds" chase
should have been decided on as proper
means OF arousing an appetite for sayory
turkey and juicy mince pie. Strange or not
the result OF the talk was the issuance OF
an invitation to the wheelmen of Chicago

cred very creditable performance.
among those who witnessed the start
and finish of this chase was Mr. Robert
u Harden, an enthusiast in wheeling mat
tiers. The chase suggested to him the idea
OF getting up 3 handicap race over the
same course, and under such conditions as
would make it popular with wheelmen Of
all grades of speed. The result was the
selection of Decoration Day as the time
OF the race. Mr.. Garden went to work
with will, and owing to his popularity
among the men in his line of business and
his unbounded enthusiasm. built up, by
voluntary subscription, q respectable
prize list, aggregating some twenty ar
money value of 500.
Thirty-four men. out of total of forty
one who entered for the race, came to the
starting point May 30. 1887 The time
limit was Is minutes. n. H. Van
Sicklen started at scratch with Robert
Ehiert. who refused a small handicap.
The winner turned up in H. r. Winship,
who started from the 30 mark and COW

fastest time Of the day, thus capturing not
only the first prize, valued at $40, but
also the $40 medal offered for ssbest time"
II. L. Wheeler, the limit man, finished in
l:15:S2. Van Sicklen dropped out early in
the race. Ehlert finished twentieth.
In 1SSS the entries numbered seyenty-six

numbered twenty, valued at $3.50 The
limit that year was reduced to IA minutes,

the riders. These favorable circumstances

finished Eve seconds behind. The winner
of the first prize was Arthur E.. Lumsden.
He entered the race comparatively un-
known and was granted q handicap of
eleven minutes. His running time was
1:47. 1t was his maiden effort, but the re-
markable time he made gave promise of
greater performances. Those who thus

The race this year was productive of q

by outside parties for advertising purposes,
finished in 81 %, but with true professional
instinct he maintained that the time was

proved conciusively that professional

added little to its interest.
In 1889 the race had come to he consid-
cred the greatest in the country. 1t brought
l13 entries and 72 starters. despite the facts
of heavy roads and threatening sky. The
time limit was reduced TO l. minutes. nine

of Milwaukee. Winship did not start. The

medal. making the distance in 56:45. with

In 1850 there was much talk of further
reducing the time limit. Eight minutes
had many advocates, ten minutes more.
The twelve minute limit was finally re-

assembled, deciding il.
So great an event had the race become

race in this country or probably any other.
Already the question is being asked,

EutEoFS OF f'tf hthtepcs HpNF ftN'
have been pleased in reading your
valuable paper to see the interest taken
IN the agricultural part Of our commun-
jtv. and would ike to urge upon you
that slrl more space be devoted 20 this
important calling I Mess much Is done
to encourage the farmers to make the

There Is only one way In which our
farmers can successfully meet their COM
petitors and that is by increasing the
amount OF intelligence mixed with all
they do. In the use of this article the
Eastern competitor stands no chance
whatever.
The Experiment stations in the differ
ent states are accomplishing much for
the advancement of farming and the agri-
cultural papers are doing grand work
by placing before the farmers the results
of their Investigations but they do not
reach and influence half as many as they
ought and every paper should do what
II can to induce the farmer in great
many practices on the farm to forsake
the old and adopt the new.

papers, why not boom our State?' a
very pertinent question, a question that
ought to excite more than passing no
tice In every thinking mind. Ii the matter
were taken hold of Alright the old Pine
Tree State might boom as much as any
state Of the West.
Maine has grand possibilities in at
least one branch Of agriculture, possi-
bilities which offer as sure and rich re-
ward to the Intelligent Investment OF
capital and labor as were realized by
the old forty miners" in the gold fields
of California. Some will doubtless think
this statement wild but IL any such
would like to give their attention l
should be pleased to give facts and fig
ures which viii bear investigation. The
farmer has many discouragements to
contend with now, and probably will
have for long time to come, but there
are some who are contented and happy
because their labors bring tfem rich
reward, and If others would make an in
telligent and energetic use of the best
methods, their income would approach
much nearer what it ought to be in pur
suing one of the noblest employments
of mankind. + Cook.
