He Bought $50 Worth OF Laborers' Time
and Cannot Get 1t Cashed.
Poor Martin Ward, the only man who
has a reputation for big heartedness in
Jersey City, is in a peck of trouble. Last
year Merlin bought the time of foul park
laborers. His modest demand of thirty
per cent off from the 'men who come to
him to keep Them from starving" is the
direct cause OF the trouble.
After keeping the poor men from starry
ing, Martin began hustling to get his
claims passed through the Boards of
Street and Water Commissioners and
Finance Commissioners. Two Of the
claims went through all right, but two

BIKES IN THE CARNIVAL.

The Sanction of the L. a. W. Has Been
Obtained by the Club vendome.
The swell Club Vendome. of Newark,
probably n of the wealthiest athletic
organizations in New Jersey. has scored a
big victory in securing the sanction OF the
League of American Wheelmen to hold
its bicycle races in conjunction with their
carnival of sports on July 4.
This is most extraordinary, as the Asso-
citation Of Cycle Clubs will hold their
meet on the same date, at Railway.
The officials of the Club Vendome, how
ever, will so arrange their iron steed''
races that they will not interfere with the
Association Of Cycle Clubs competitors.
They will not take any advantage which
is likely to injure a similar organization.
The new track at CALIFORNIAN Park, where
the events will be held, is being put in
shape for good wheeling, so that nothing
will be lacking to make the bicycle race Il
daitering success. w. f. Rink, the crack
bicyclist of the Business Mems Cycle
League, entered yesterday in the two-mile
handicap, not at all discouraged by the
entry of Coffin. the phenomenal rider,
who recently won the one hundred mile
race.

THE New Jersey Yacht Club held its

dore f. S. Ketcham and FL. P. Campbell,
was the only starter. In class G the only
boat that attempted to ride the white
caps was E. T. Fishers Edith, and he had
to quit. The racing was interesting,
as the Wanderer and Anonymous
sailed in class f. The Lottie and Charm
has a spirited contest and were only u few
seconds apart at the finish. h Charm
would have won but for a loss of two
minutes in making the turn.
The Shamrock was the smarteSt of the

the cats were double reefed, while the
big boats had no rect and carried jibs.
The start was a flying one for all class
es, and was from an imaginary line be-
tween the steamer and the dock on Lib

thence around Fort Lafayette and to the
finish line at Liberty Island.

This Man Don't Strike.

There is man in the employ of
Browning, King & Co., the.great cloth
ing house, who is paid 81 900 a year
for designing patterns and styles. His
career is quite an interesting one and
an incentive to all skilled laborers.
Apprenticed at an early age to a Liv-
erpool tailor, he ran away intending to
come to America but was apprehend.
ed by his master and severely pun
ished. Again he tried to escape with
no better success, but undaunted he
finally accomplished his purpose. Ar.
rived in New York, he was not long
content to work for wages but started
shop of his own where his talent Sc
cured him fashionable patronage and
made him known to Messrs. Browning
King & Co, who bought out his store
and engaged him a. $4,000. As their
sales amount to over $II I,ooo, 900 per
year they must have the best designs
and styles, regardless Of expense.
