Bicycle Races.

At a meeting of the wheelmen of
the city, held on Friday night, the
organization of the Blue Grass Cycle
Club was perfected by electing Mr..
Ben Marshall as President, Mr.. John
Selbert Captain and Mr.. B. Todd
Crutcher as Secretary-Treasurer.
After the election Of officers the
races were arranged for Thursday
afternoon as follows:
The first, mile handicap, in
which Ben Marshall and Todd Crutch-
er were to start from the scratch and
the other members given the ad-
vantage in the start, at distances
varying according to the speed and
endurance.
Second, one fourth mile, for boys
under fourteen years.
Third. mile race between B. T.
Crutcher, Ben Marshall and G. K.
Belts.
Fourth, a mile race, free for all,
to start from stratch, with Ben Mar
shall, Todd Crutcher and G. K. Belts
barred.
Fifth, half mile race, free for all.
Sixth, quarter mile open race.
1t was decided that only members
of the club should be allowed to start
in the championship handicap.
On Thursday quite a large crowd
went out to the track to witness the
races, which resulted as follows:
First race-Championship handi-
cap, one mile, ten starters Hulett,
1st, Belts I'd, Marshall Sd, Minus
Williams 4th, Crutcher 9Th.
Time 1920. The five came to the
string well punched, not more than a
length apart. Hulett will wear the
medal until it is won from him.
The Second race, two entries, one
fourth mile, was won by John Sewer.
Time, .45l.
Third race-one mile, between
Marshall, Belts and Crutcher. The
three went away together, but going
around the lower turn Crutcher
fell back, Marshall going away in the
lead and at the quarter pole they |
were badly strung out. Going up
the back stretch Crutcher pulled
together, rapidly overhauled
Belts, passed him, and about the half
mile post Tapped Marshall. From
that time on it was close and ex-
citing contest between the two, Belts
having dropped out. Into the home
stretch they flew neck and neck.
AT the stable Crutcher swerved to
the inside of the track and lost
ground, giving Marshall a slight ad-
vantage which he held to the string,
Crutcher coming in a half wheel be-
hind. Time, 3:31f.
In the Fourth race only three
started Minus Williams, B. Williams
and Geo. w. Lewis. For three quarters
of mile it was close race between
M. Williams and Lewis, but at the
three-quarter pole Williams drew
away and came in winner, Lewis
second. Time $40.
Fifth race-one half mile, free for
all, six entries. At the start Crutcher
took the lead a nd ran away from the
others, winning in 1887.
In the last race one fourth mile,
free for all-there were five entries,
and was won by Jersey; Crutcher I'd,
Belts Sd. Time As.

witnesses were examined who were near 7th
street and Pennsylvania avenue at the time and
they were Of the opinion that the affair was
purely an accident ana was not due to careless
driving. as the pony was not going very fast at
the time.
Miss Laura Drew and Miss Birlie Fitz of
capitol Hill, who were in the dog cart at the
time, also gave testimony. Miss Drew stated
that she had driven the pony for about three
years She saw Mr.. Carter before the cart
struck him, but the pony was beyond her con-

Mrs. Thornton testified that the pony had

MISS Laura Drew. From the evidence we be-
lleve the occurrence to have been accidental,
owing to the fact that the young lady was un-

special cable dispatch from Lucerne says:
The famous African explorer. Henry NJ. STAN
Icy, is now stopping at Murren A rumor
which seems to come from reliable source,
says that the famous traveller and his WIFE,
formerly Miss Dorothy Tenant, have scpa-
rated. He left London about fortnight ago
and after going to Paris came here. He pro-
poses to extend his trip as far as Australia
where he will remain several months. As it
has already been announced that his wife would
not accompany him, but would stay in London
it is probable that they desire to attract as
little attention as possible to their separation
The cause Of this is said to be due to the posi-
tive nature of both husband and wife, which,
owing to the many years they lived alone rem
ders it difficult for them to conform to the
peculiar views of each other
