cent and costly in charac-
ter. All the principal streets will also

md 80 gas. and it is also conteu-
plated 10 have series Of moving cleo
trical effects, taking advantage of the
trolley wires of the countless electric

The beer war Is over. The attempt
to create a diversion of trade by cut
ting ne price in half has not proved q
success, and no one regret greatly the
return to what are regarded as living

South End did not meet the cut and
claimed that the falling of in business
so far as they were concerned was en-.
tirely nominal However this may be
the relations between the owners oi
the various breweries geem to be very
friendly and an immense volume d
business is being transacted. The
same is true generally of almost al
manufacturers in the city, long hours
and continual working at hard pressure
being common.
Most of the candidates who wert
| pledged to help the wheelmen to i'm!
| prove the streets of the city and il
| other ways assist bicycling wcr,
| elected. The whcelmen's movemen
| was novel one in politics, but it car
| ricd about three thousand votes witt
| it, and was altogether so sGccessfu
| that the political organization VIII bt
| kept up. Among the first things thai
| the whcelmcn Will ask from the fr end
| whom they have helped to elect WI
/ be race track in Forest Park. 1hor.
| is now a speeding track there for trCt
ting and pacing horses, but it is con
| tTolled by an association wi osc olti
| GERS do not sympathiZe with the wheel
man, and do not allow them to use it
| The result of their application will be
either that they get one of the fast ,st
| tracks in the country built in the liur-
| for the exclusive use of bicycles on the
| horsemen will be ordered to share tht
| present track with them.
The Assemblynen of the city have
decided not to appropriate the S25,00J
that was wanted to make u statue oil
| Gen. Sherman for the main entrance
of the new City Hall. This was dis
appointment to the friends OF the
movement, but il will not result in the
plans being abandoned. The Grand
Army men have tallcn up Tie matter
| and the statuc wi now be pa d for bS
| private subscription. There is not ;
| uE!e equestrian statue among the
many that decorate the parks and pub
lie places of the city, and there ari
several good sculptors here who wan
| TO try their hands Mt one. The city
was asked TO appropriate murl
smaller sum than statues of this kim
| cost usually. II h. statue is crecte,
| through q subs nIbtion it viii be
| much finer one and will cost probl biz
| $4,000.
