RACING AT ASBURY,
Results of the First Days Events In the Bi-
 cycle Meet.

cycle Meet.
 AsBURY PARK, N. J., July 12.-The cy- clers who have thronged this place since the beginning of the week settled down to practical business after enjoying them selves by road runs. hops and sight seeing for the last few days, and the racing pro- gramme was begun.
 The first race on the programme was for novices, Class A, at one mile. c. c. Dirnbcrger of Buffalo beat Donald Mckay of Denver in 2:37 5. The winner is only 16 years old and has just left school. He is a brother of Mike Dirnberger, and last Monday rode a paced mile in :09 and a half mile in :59.
 The trials in the two mile handicap, Class A, were productive of some very good work, the final being won by w. G. Doug las, N. Y. A. c. (3O yards). Time, 4:3S. In the final of the half mile open, Class B, seven men lined up, and on the start off w. K. Sims took the lead, with Gardiner almost abreast on his right. Crossing the tape for the first time, Murphy held a slight lead, while Gardiner and Sims were | trailing. On the back stretch Jenny crept up to the front and came in on tho pole, while Allen shot past the field on the turn, | taking the bank. Gardiner held good | position in the center and managed to cross the tape at the finish few inches ahead of Allen, who in turn beat Jenny | by scant margin for second place. Time, 1:f0 3-5. Gardiner was known last year as the king of Class A.
 The trials for the two mile national championship were cxccllently contested and seven men qualified for the final. It was won by Nat Butler in :26. | Tho one mile open Class B race was | won by Bald of Buffalo, with F. J. Titus second. Mayo and Saunders paced tho men.
 The one mile professional race which l was paced by Zimmy and Wheeler was | the second last event of the day. There were seven starters, with Bcrlo of Boston on tho pole. St. Onge caught the tandem, Berlo second, Starback third and the rest | punched behind. In the second lap the tandem ran away from the field, and St. Onge and Bcrlo who were about 20 yards ahead of the bunch, began to set their own pace. After the tandem had dropped out St. Onge lost control of his wheel and | fell while going at hot pace on the turn of the last lap. Bcrlo narrowly escaped falling over him. In avoiding mishap Berlo lost n good deal of the lead which he had gained, but finally won by about
 15 yards from Starback, who beat Barthol- omcw by five yards, while McCurdy al
 most Tapped the lattcr's wheel. Time, | 2:1S 2-5.

INTERESTING MANEUVERS.
The North Atlantic Squadron Will Play at
 Coast Defense.

Coast Defense.
 WASHINGTON, July 12..Wllile the de- tails have not yet been arranged, the gen eral plan of the extensive mancuVcrs of the North Atlantic squadron next August will be based upon a theoretical defense of that portion of the coast lying between Cape Cod and the capes of the Chesapeake. The flectest vessels will be sent out to sea as scouts, and they will return to the rcn- dezvous to report the supposed appearance of a hostile fleet on certain points on tho coast within thcsc limits, when attempts will be made to rcpulsc tho threatened at tack.
 It is likely that the greatest dcmonstra- tions will be off the eastern entrance to Long Island sound, which has long been regarded as the most probable pathway to New York harbor that would be followed by an enemy, and also at the entrance of Chesapeake bay, whence q blow might be directed at the capital of the nation.
 Admiral Buncc, who will direct the op- erations for the defense, is now engaged in collecting all possible data as to tho tactical qualities of the ten ships that will compose his squadron preparatory to re- ducing the details of his plans to form.

 phia Carpet Mills.

PHILADELPHIA, July 12.-Thc strike of tho ingrain carpet wcavcrs assumed a more serious aspect when tho employees of 13 additional mills went out. Tho total number of idle mills is now 35, and 1000 men and women arc out. Further rc-cn- forcCmcnts are expected, and the indica- tions arc that the struggle for and against tho new schedule of wages will be fought stubbornly by both sides.
 Fivo mills capitulatcd Thursday and signed the new schedule, but these were small firms who have been paying nearly the same rates as those demanded, so their action docs not materially affect the issue. The streets in the mill district were crowded all day, but there was no disor- der.
 A special detail of police was stationed at the mill of C. II. HaSland X Co.,, at Al lcghany avenue and Amber street. which was running on full time. Over 100 strik- CTS attempted to enter the mill at noon, but were kept back by the police

She had no chil dren of her own, but took to her moth | erly heart the two sons of her second | husband, conscientiously devoting her | self to their education and moral devel- | opment. The husband and sons went to the front when the War came, and later, l impellcd by a strong sense of duty, she also went to the scene of action and ten i derly cared for the sick and wounded soldiers It was these loving ministra tions that earned for her the title of "Mother Stewart. by which she always loves to be called.
 | In 1872 Mrs. Stewart made stirring address before the first mass meeting in Springfield, O., inaugurating the tenn perance crusade the influence of which has become felt throughout the length and breadth of the land.

PRESIDENT CLARK. the day at t h C mammoth meetings in Mechanics hall and the two great tents Williston and En dcavor was exceeded at night by yet more mammoth gatherings at the same places.
 Every address delivered last evening was of importance and interest. At the Mechanics building Rev. Francis E. Clark, D. D., of Boston, founder and pres ident of the society, delivered his annual address. The address was also read in Tent Williston by Rev. H. T. McEwen, Ph. D., of New York and in Tent Endeavor by Professor James Lewis Howe of Lexing- ton, Ky.

 A Chorus of Eight Hundred Voices.
 The story it contained was a story Ot success that exceeded hopes almost auda- cious in their sanguinity, and it evoked the utmost enthusiasm, which was ex- pressed in such hosannas as modern Athens had never heard before.
 The meeting in Tent WillistOn at night was perhaps the greatest of the three. The announced address of Rev. Russell H. Conwell, D. D., IL. D., drew a great crowd, and it is not inyidious to state that it will prove to have been the feature of the entire convention.
 An address of Rev. Tennis Hamlin, D. D., of Washington, who was cx-President Harrison's $ pastor, and whosc subject was Washington, 1896, also helped to draw to Tent Williston the biggest crowd of the evening. MT. W. k. Pcnncll of Washington spoke in Tent EndcavOr on the same sub- jcct.
 Addresses by Dwight F. Moody at the Mechanics building and by John G. Wool cy, the noted Chicago temperance lcctur, CT, who spoke in Tent Endcavor on "The Christian Endcavorer versus the Sa loon," were also great attractions.

AFTER expendipg nearly million dol lars for new water supply the people of Waterbury are justified in raising a vigor- ous kick over the horrible dose that was run through the city mains yesterday. It was rotten, and repulsive to smell and taste We have the assurance of the powers that be that it was perfectly harmless. Per haps it was. but an epidemic of typhoid fever following it's use would surprise no oae. It had the strength of "knocker- out" and was altogether a most nauseating dose, tending to undo all the work of the temperance toilers of Waterbury.
