BYRNE BREAKS A RECORD.
He Rides Five Miles in 1918 1-5-J e.
Edwards Was but a Fifth


The Imperial Cycling Club held five
mile handicap road race yesterday, and, as
a result, one of the clubs members, Frank
M. Byrne. now holds the worlds five-mile
road record.
The course over which the race was run
was the smooth, level, straightaway stretch
from San Mateo to San Carlos. The road
was in excellent condition and the weather
all that could be desired. A slight breeze
favored the riders, and this, with the fine
course, accounts for the remarkable time
made.
The scratchmen were over-h Handicapped,
and, as result, could finish no better than
last. But being so far behind they exerted
themselves to their utmost to catch the
limit men, which brought them both well
within the best previous worlds record of
II min. 10 sec. The former coast record
was Is min. 10 sec.
The following table shows the positions
at the finish, handicaps and net riding
time:

Lights of Jewish Worship.

Rev. F. L. Higgins spoke yesterday at the
First New Jerusalem or Swedenborgian Church
on O'Farrell, near Webster, on the significance
of the oil used for the lights in the Jewish wor-
ship. Everything about the tabernacle had a
spiritual Specification. All the ceremonials
were also significative. Thus the pure beaten

We are to bring to feed the flame that is to IL
Illuminate the pathway of our daily lives and
love as he gives the olive trees. But as we
must protect and nourish the olive trees SO
must we guard that heavenly love which feeds
the flame that dispels the spiritual night.

William II. Harmon, forecast official,
the thermometer registered SO deg.
After that it fell This warm spell
we have had was caused by the high
pressure in the interior. From reports
received this evening it seems as if this
cold temperature will be but of short
duration and that there may be warm
weather again within day or two.
The warm period has been most extra
ordinary for May; it has broken the record,
first, by being l deg. higher than in any
May since 1872 and being several days
earlier. Another remarkable fact is that
the temperature commenced to rise on
Monday and rose day by day until about
noon to-day"

This town Of ours IL In many respects
an ideal one, 90 our summer visitors say,
and they are right as far rs that aspect
of the case Is concerned. Agriculturally
considered, Newtown does not take
back seat among the sister towns Of the
county; so we have nothing to complain
of on this score. But in the matter Of
public spirit, there Is an apparent lack,
90 common In the average rural town.
When every citizen is SO unselfish as to
consider the general public good, then
and not till then will there be advance
ment. Let us enumerate briefly certain
local improvements, which would give
cause for Thanksgiving

THE HOME GATHERING.


What is the central attraction Of the
Thanksgiving season. Is it the annual
feastp The fact.of grand spread to salts
fy the cravings Of appetitep
What has given strength and individ-
uality to our New England life9 Is 1t not
the home and the influence of the home
circle9 This in fact has done more to
give stability to our American life, than
any other Influence combinei, and cursed
be the gossip, the meddler, or whoever
he may be, who Lelps to break down a
single home.
On Thanksgiving day, great yearly
tribute to the home is paid, untold forces
are marshalled to do it honor. 1t is not
a day of empty forms and ceremonies,
with the spirit in them dead; not even
day of sometimes perfunctory gifts, as
Christmas may become, 1t Is day in
which a real thanksgiving reigns in the
heart, else there would be no common
impulse to 60 home to find that for
which the heart is thankful; none to
carry the friendless there, the lonely and
the poor; no common impulse to well
come and no common impulse to rejoice !:
nothing, indeed, to make Thanksgiving
the day of all the year.
This sentiment about home as the GEN.
trail thought of the Thanksgiving cele-
bration is heartfully expressed by the
editor Of Harper's Bazaar. He says: "No
New Highlander, close pressed as he may
be, stays willingly away from the family
gathering on that day. Rich and poor
alike are stirred by one common impulse
to 90 home. One man may want to
feel once more the comfort Of an old
familiar chair that no change Of fashion
has moved from its long accustomed
place. Another wants the sense Of peace
fulness that belongs to certain sunny
window with geraniums in it when all
the world without is quiet and stiffness
reigns within. Some want the nursery,
with its battered books, and some the as
ISOLATION Of old sounds, as the clicking
OF the gate or the hurrying Of familiar
footsteps up the stair. Some want the
friends of childhood; and back Of all
and through all and over all, each ane
eyery one wants the finding again Of the
mother, the face and the voice and tht
touch of her-of her whose love has neve
faltered, whose sympathy has never fail
ed, who welcomes them without reproach
who rejoices in them without envy, VIII
Ia proud of their success without measur
ing their failures, who has kept her idea
Of them undimmed, and yet who vii
minister to them the livelong day as t
one saved from an angry tempest, he
arms their support, her warm heart thel
resting place.
They want, in fact, the finding agar
and untouched, the things they have left
or the world of men and women outsid
has suddenly become to them as ragip
sea, and they know how many reefs the
have taken in the sails Of their own pril
ciples the better to meet the winds {
doubt and expediency. But there are
storms in the old home. They were Ion
since safely passed and the haven reacf
ed"
And la closing we say: MAY Go
bless the home gatherings of old Col
necticut. May the influence of the hon
still continue to be a potent force In OF
life.
