But the Bicycle-Rider Said the Track
Was Soft.

SAN JOSE, Nov. 18-Over 1000 people
to-day witnessed the great race between
John S. Prince, the champion long-dis-
lance bicyclist, and the horses Our Boy
and Willema, who have records of 2;17h
and 2:26A, respectively. The race. was
for twenty miles, the novelty being in
alternate miles made by the horses,
while Prince made the distance in con-
tlnuous run without rest. The wheelman
rode an eighteen-pound wheel, which stood
in his favor. and while horsemen hoped
that the horses would win they little ex-
pected them to do so.
From the start Prince took a position
right in the rear of the sulky and 10 the
change of horses made the change to con-
form without loss of time. The position
gave him the advantage OF being protected
from the wind. but he suffered much from
dust He maintained a place within ten
feet of the horse for eighteen miles. At the
beginning of the nineteenth c. F. Bunch,
who drove Willema, began to whip up
and Prince at once fell behind fifty yards.
He never regained bis place, but on the
homestretch of the twentieth mile made a
marvellous squirt and came under the wire
81 seconds behind Our Boy. who was
driven by Marks Smith.
The first mile was made in 2:4S. The
best miles were the second and fifteenth,
in 2:3S. The slowest was. the fourth; In
2:57. The last two were made in 2:4511s
and 2:54
The twenty miles were made by Prince
in 55 minutes and 46 seconds, and by the
horse In 30 minutes and 42h seconds
Prince announced from the judges stand
at the finish that the track was too soft
and twice he was nearly blinded from the.
dust from the horses heels. He was loud
~ cheered by the crowd. II was said that
If the track was harder he would win by
three or four minutes. The officers in
charge were as follows:- Judges-T. W.

CAPE COLONY DIAMONDS.
Sales in This Country Have Been

LONDON. Nov. 1S.-Regarding the dia-

Colony, who amassed such large fortune
as director of various diamond mines at
Kimberley that he obtained the designation
of ''the Diamond King" said in an inter-
view:
"We went to Chicago and spent $4,000
at the Worlds Fair. The only thing l
made in return was productive duty.
America has usually taken about one-third
of the export of cut diamonds, but during
the last few years of the depression in the
United States the sales have been mach
reduced. We find one part of the world is
depressed and that trade with the others
is improved

valiant fight reported Cherokee Bill has
not yet been captured, though late reports
say he surely will be together with the full
force he has been leading. The report
that Cherokee Bill was badly wounded in
