WORKS THR WINNER
A CLOSELY CONTESTED RACE ATTHE NORTH
END RINK LAST NIGaE.
Greer Wins the First Heat but Falls in h'
SscOnd-Fair Time Aade-Other
Sporting Events.

The bicycle race between Walter
Worls and VIII Greer. which was con-
tested at the North End rink last night,
was won by the former. The race was
for purse of $50 aud the professional
championship OF West Virginia winner
to take rs per cent and loser 25 per cent
of the receipts.
A large crowd was attracted, includ-
ing fair sprinkling OF ladies. Before
the race, the time was occupied in
skating. There is a marked revival
of interest in this form Of amusement,
which was supposed to have died out
several years ago. 1t was announced
that the race would take place at nine
O'Clock, but there was an unavoidable
delay, and it was nearly an hour later
when the foor was cleared. Worls
broke pedal in practice, which caused
another delay. The following named
track officials were chosen: Referee,
Jacob Loos; judges, Harry Gruber and
Oscar Smith; timer, Bernie kraus;
scorers, VIII Stanley for Worls and
Frank Boty for Greer. The men started
on the opposite sides of the track,
Worls winning the toss for choice OF
starting point.
The first heat was the fastest OF the
race, but was slow considering the fact
that mile in 2:5s has been made in the
rink. The men started we'll together,
both apparently nervous. They main
tanned their positions well. throughout
the heat. After the half was made,
Greer managed to forge ahead slightly,
and won by about four feet Time 3:06.
In the second heat, the men again
got fair start, and neither showed
signs of nervousness, as In the first
mile. In making the turn on the sec
ond lap, Greer's wheel slipped, he made
a quick turn to save himself, but the
wheel went over the bank, throwing him
headong over the handle bars. 1t
was bad "header" and the spectators
were surprised when be got up. He
started TO mount his wheel again, but
had sustained severe injuries to his
breast and side, and did not do so.
Worls had made about three.quarters
of mile before Greer again appeared
on the track. Time, 1852.
The third and final heat was won by
Worls by a close margin. The men got
an even start, and for the first half mile
neither contestant secured an adYan-
tage. The crowd cheered its favorites
Justify. Worls began to go to the front
and led his opponent about eight feet,
when he lost his pedals on a turn. He
secured them again, however, by re-
markably good luck. but Greer had
closed up the distance. The last
four or five laps were intensely excit-
ing, and it looked like anybody's race.
When the final lap was finished, no per-
son in the crowd knew which man was
the winner. Referee LOos decided that
Wors won the heat and race by seven
or eight inches.

ELKS' SOCIAL SESSION.
TRIAL OF THE BABY ELK FOR OVIRCHARG-
ING HIS MEMORY.
An Unusually Pleasant Meeting Of This Order
Whose Meetings are Famous for their Fun.
Officers to be El,csi atths Next Meeting.

The Social Session last night OF the
b. P. o. f., which being literally trans
lated may mean either BEST People on
Earth" or Benevolent and Protective
Order Of Elks," and by many people is
construed to mean both, was one Of the
happiest affairs ever given by this popn-
lar organization. The social session was
preceded by the regular meeting OF the
Elks, which was held at their hall, the
principal interest ia which conferred In
the nomination OF officers TO be voted on
at the coming election TO be held ia
about two weeks. A great many names
were proposed for the various offices TO
be filed, and the nominations are not
yet closed, so that the election TO be
held in the course OF couple OF weeks
will be quite an exciting one.
After the business meeting the Elks
repaired TO the rooms OF the Wheeling
Club on Main street, where lunch was
served and the social session, feature
which belongs exclusively 10 the organi-
zatien of Elks, was entered into with
the customary zeSt by the members Of
the order.
Mr.. Joe Klein, a visiting brother
from one OF the PIttsburg lodges, a
jovial, genial member, well known TO
most of the Wheeling Elks, was
made the chairman and filed
the position most credtably. The
chief duties of the chairman OF a social
session are to see that plenty OF fines are
imposed upon his fellow Elks and that
time does not hang heavy on their
hands In both OF these duties he
showed remarkable efficiency and the
Golfers of the order were well filed
while a more enjoyable social session
was never participated In by those who
were out last night.
The principal event OF the evening
was the trial OF A. M. Alberts, OF
Barnesvlle, better known as Fatty
Alberts, the baby OF the order, for over.
charging his memory. The evidence
showed. among other things, that he
had aspirations to become a Splinter
and that he had purchased considerable
medicine-presumably anti-fat--at sew
eral drug stores. T.. b. Franzheim was
the attorney for the defense while the
prosecution was conducted by Charles
List. The evidence was rich, rare and
racy and 10 end OF fun was caused by
the trial. The defendant was found
guilty and sentenced TO pay liberal
fine.
During the evening Albert Adler
played for the first time before an audi
ence his new waltz entitled Memories, "
which has just been published and Is =
beautiful piece Of music.
w. h. Day, from his endless reperto-
RE, gave several very pleasing vocal Sc
lections and every member present was
called upon to contribute his share to-
ward the entertainment.
The next meeting, when the election
OF officers for the ensuing year will be
held. will be one Of the most interesting
meetings OF the year.

At the Etpa-standard.

1t was learned from the management
at the Etna-Standard that trade was
about the same this week. There is
less of the big plant on, but this is
caused by the fact that some necessary
repairs are being made. Over pudding
furnaces 81 and 80 the old smoke stack
is being torn away and it will be re-
placed by a patent one. Scrapping
mill No. of the Etna department is
off undergoing repairs. All the new
Standard mill, or sheet mills -, Is, IA
and Is are of, as the cylinder Of the big
engine is being re-bored and enlarged.
Last Wednesday on each Of mills s and
Q a roll was broken. The management
still insists on those who break rolls to
aid in paying for them.

Yesterday afternoon there was bad
freight wreck in the B. & 0. yards at
Benwood Junction. A long freight
from Chicago had pulled into the yards
and was standing there. The yard
engine was shifting cars, and there was
some misunderstanding as TO the plac-
ing of switch, for the yard engine ran
on to the same track with the freight.
The result was that the freight got a
side swipe, and seven of the cars. con-
tanning lumber principally, were badly
damaged. No one was hurt, AID it was
a lucky thing that the front Of the train
was not hit, as it was car loaded with
live stock Considerable delay was
caused By the accident.
W. G.. Webster, OF Caldwell's Run,
had runaway on Thirty-third street,
yesterday afternoon. Mr.. Webster was

ANOTHER SURPRISE.
The W. b. G. Drops Two Games to the
CaIumets.

The two victories over the Press Club
won by the South Side team Monday
night. and last nights defeat Of the
Wheeling Bowling Club, were both
great surprises. In effect they remove
at least one team from the competition
for first place. The South Side teams
only competitor for that honor now,
is the Columbia team-one Of
the strongest in the League. AS
every person regarded two victories by
the w. B. c., as a foregone conclusion,
the result of last nights contest is one
of the greatest surprises of the season.
One or two members OF the w. B. c.,
were decidedly "off" In their playing
last night. Had they bowled In their
accustomed form, the result would have
been different. Maris, of the Calumets,
and Happy, of the w. B. c., distinguish
cd themselves by making splendid scores
in both games.
The following were the results In de-
tail:

The Tin Plate Venture at the Etna'
Standard.

Yesterday afternoon REGISTER re-
porter called at the Offices Of the Etna-
Standard to find out what progress the
firm was making IN its tin plate project,
Those of the management seen were
disinclined to talk much about it, and
what was learned was gotten from reli-
able men outside the Offices. A force or
men are at work tearing away the old
plate mill, and another force is at work
removing sheet mill No. g. This is all
the preparation which has been made
at the mill as yet for the making Of tin
plate. 1t is understood that the COM
pany has about made out the plans for
the machinery, apparatus, etc. A gen
tleman named James Thomas, an expert
tin plate man, was at the mill in con-
sutation with the management a few
days ago, and it is said this gentleman
will probably be secured for the man
ager of the tin plate department. The
management said that if this were true
they would not tell the reporter. Mr..
Thomas lives in Allegheny City, and he
intimated that this was his purpose.
