Six o'clock was the time fixed for the start.
and promptly on time the cycler appeared. A
slight rain this morning put the track in OF.
cellent trim. and after It had been smoothed
and planed it was in perfect condition.
Every preparation was made to have the
performance strictly according to rule. The

and hero tho tired horse pulled out. A fresh
one came in front OF tho plucky rider. The
three e-ouarter pole was reached in 1:2Sh.
A drop OF nearly g seconds is the record for
that distance. It hardly seem cd possible that
the wheelman could keep up such clip. but
he never faltered. and finished the mile within
two feet OF the runners sulky in the wonder-
ful time Of 1856 3-5. drop OF 81 seconds
from the record he started to beat.
Three rousinG cheers greeted Johnson whom
he came back to the stand. and he was warmly
congratulated upon the result Of his splendid
effort. This performance to-day gives john
son all the worlds records from a quarter Of a
mile to mile. and demonstrates his supsrior-
ity as a short distance rider The track here
deserves a great deal OF the credit, and tho
possibilities are that when the records are

AN ANTI-FREAT SOCIETY.

Dolgeville is an energetic, enterprising village situated up in the good old county of Herkimer, in the state of New York. Just now it is trying an interesting experi- ment in the field of practical temperance reform. This is an Anti Treat Society. It's members have signed this pledge: "We, the undersigned, believing that the matter of heating for sociability has been carried too far, hereby agree, one with the other, that we will neither give nor accept treats" There is nothing con- plex about this. The scheme is very simple, very modest. It does not aim at accomplishing sweeping reform; it does not pronounce against the use of wet goods, nor does it pronounce for. them. The members of the society are left free to follow the dictates of their individual judgment or inclination touching the drink question, only they are prohibited from treating or being treated. It needs no argument to prove that the custom of treating has been largely instrumental in promoting intehperance. A: party of three go up to 8 bar. Tom orders the drinks for Dick, Harry, and himself. Then Dick has them 'sset up'' again for
The Press., 1892-02-25
Number AZ.

Tom, Harry, and himself. Then Harry insists that "you must have one with me, boys," so third round is furnished for Harry, Tom and Dick. It is particu- larly foolish custom, having It's origin in a mistaken conception on the part of thoughtless young men given to sociabili- ty of what is due to generosity: And so long as Tom treats, and Dick and Harry are treated, we may be sure that Dick and Harry, by way of indicating their respect for the quid pro quo doctrine, will in turn treat Tom. It often happens that neither of them cares for more than a single drink. But each of them takes three glasses, perhaps muddling the brain and disar- ranging the stomach, but respecting what is elegantly known as one of "the social amenities"
 To put a stop to this silly fashion would be great gain to the temperance cause. It is to be hoped, therefore, that the ex- ample which Dolgeville has set will be followed by all the other places in Herki- mer county-ands out of it. If anti-treat societies could be generally established, the result would be that good deal less liquor would be drunk, and 8 proportion ate number of heads would ache of a morning less frequently than they do un- der the existing state of things.-N.

w. C. T. U. DEPARTMENT.

w. T. Stead, now best known as the brilliant editor of the Review of Reviews, enforces the necessity that the Methodist perform his duty as citizen in the will lage towns of England, in the following strong language:-
 "From the pulpit men should be urged to volunteer for Christ's service in the village council in just the same strain as they are urged to come out for service in the Sunday school. Every Methodist should see that he is on the register, and every Methodist chapel should be ral- lying center for all those who. wish to make our village life higher, nobler and purer than it is to-day. If Methodists do not take their proper share in the electing and working of the new village councils, it will probably be found that the change is the reverse of an improvement, and that the last state of our village is worse than the first.'
 There is lesson in this exhortation for those good people who leave the manag- ing of the politics of the village and city to somebody else, and do nothing to puri- fy the body polite except to tell how wicked and hopeless it has become. Yer fly the churchman who neglects his duty as a citizen is not guiltless.
