The Washington Athletic Club gave a

had been cleared for the purpose, was
filled with many couples.

The Canterbury Athletic Club gave their

Cycling Notes.

Ed. Terry, who is recognized as one Of the
fastest riders in this city, will not partici-
pate in track events this season. He has
given up racing, because it will not mix
well with business. In event of club road
race, however he will make an exception,
and will do his best as an Arlington Wheel
man.
Capt. E. e. Clapp of the Arlingtons will
figure in many track events this year. He
will open the season by entering the Irv-
ington- Milburn road race on the Both of
May, in which contest more than a hundred
wheelmen will probably participate.
Messrs Fftzhugh and Ronsaville Of the
Washington Road Club made trip to Bal
timore last week. They went by way OF
Ashton and made the trip each way in
about five hours.
Tomorrow Messrs. B. F. Cox, c. s. Pit
man and H. V. Cox will ride against time
between here and Baltimore. Should the
weather prove favorable they will probably
make good time and may lower previous
records.
Wheelmen are becoming interested in the
proposed relay ride from this city to Dem
yer. and committee of L. A. W. mem
bers has been appointed to arrange the de-
tails of the affair. The committee Is COM
posed of the following districts and repre-
sentatives: District of Columbia, George

1t Was Stolen and He Declined to
Violate the Law.
General Kelley displayed the rarest judy
ment and fortitude last night, when he
declined to put his men on board q train
stolen at Council Bluffs, Neb.. by the en-
gineers and fremen Of the Union Pacific.
1t was a Union Pacific engine with Union
Pacific cars on the Rock Island track.
Kelley declined 1t because, he said, he
had not yet broken any law, and did not
intend to start In now.
There was great excitement at Omaha
all day, and 1t was intensified at nightfall
by the news that train had been cap
tured to relieve Kelley.
Crowds thronged the streets, and an
immense open air mass meeting was held.
Rumors Of the calling out of federal troops
and state troops, of death In Kelley g
kept the crowd on tension hard to under
stand. But no disorder unusual ensued,
