ONE HUNDRED MILES.
Over the Road From Baltimore to
Frederick and Return by the
Century Clubs of Baltl-
more.

Last Sunday our people had the pleasure
of witnessing an unusual spectacle, the en-
tries into Frederick of nearly 400 wheel
men and wheelwomen, all member of bicy-
Gle clubs in the city of Baltimore, in the
course of one hundred mile run. The
trip was under the auspices of the Century
Club and great preparation had been made
before hand. The first contingent paced by
tandems came in East Patrick street about
11.45 a. M, and the others followed by
twos and threes at varying intervals. A
few of the riders appeared tired md several
returned on the train, unable to stand the
journey. At the Square Corner, Mr.. Halter
took the check of each wheelman to show
all had made the prescribed distance. Din
ner was taken at the City Hotel and Carlin
House, and at 2 o'clock p. M, the return
began. The entire trip was to be made in
16 hours, including stop for dinner here.
Several women were in the party one of
whom wore boomers, which attracted much
attention. About fifty failed to make the

ILLEGALLY REGISTERED.
A Negro Swears He is 81 Years
Old and Is Put On the Books
Now Under Arrest.

We think there is in the market
strong bid for some of that 81, ZOO Of
tered by the Republican Club for the
conviction of any person illegally reg
istered, and the facts point to one of
their own party. The perjurer is a
negro, among which class such prac-
tices have long existed, named John
son, and upon oath that he was 81
years of age was put on the books as a
registered voter. Suspicion was arous-
ed, and by investigation it was found
that the negro had wIllfully misrepre-
sented his age. His name was strck-
en- off the books and a warrant sworn
out for his arrest. Some facts in the
possession of the authorities may in
volve some other persons. 1t has al
ways been difficult matter to trace
the age of negroes, and many slip
through on account of inability to get
at their correct ages. Who is respon-
sible for this attempt at false registra-
ton? The negro was Republican
and he tried to register 50 his vote
wonld count this fall If he was
prompted to swear that he was q
years of age, how many others in the
county have done the same thing? 1t

Change of Management.

Last Monday. at three O'Clock, the
contemplated change of propretors of
the well known City Hotel, this city,
occurred without any unusual formali-
ty, Mr.. G. III. Utermehle, the owner of
the place, taking possession, vice Mr..
q. d. Dull, who had leased the build
ing for number of years past. Under
the latter's management, the hotel had
gradually secured paying custom
among the residential and travelling
public and has an excellent reputation
for complete service. Mr.. Utermehle
will introduce many new changes
gradually and soon hopes to have the
hotel run on system similar to that in
larger cities. A competent chef has
been secured and the table will be well
looked after. Mr.. Utermehle will
prove most courteous and genial host
aud we bespeak for him continuance
of the patronage so long enjoyed at the
City Hotel. Mr.. Doll will shortly
open an establishment in the old Ed
ridge building. on the corner facing
Court street. 1t will be known as
"Doll's." The place is very elegantly
fitted up and will open near cleo
ton time. Mr.. Doll will be glad to
welcome his many friends.

REPUBLICAN MEETING.
Speeches Against Bosses and
Everything State Candi d a tie
Malign Party Leaders-Negroes
Make a Large Portion of the
Audience.

The Republican party had a blow
out the other night to greet their can
didates and one or two other notables
who came to whoop-er-up bit for the
sake of enthusiasm. The meeting was
attended by number of Republicans,
greater number of negroes and a fair
sprlnkllng OF Democrats, who pushed
their way through the mixed throng
to hear what the orators had to say on
some points especially pertinent. Mr..
Lowndes was indistinct and uneasy.
His remarks were random and
of the cut and dried descript ion,
bristling with blunt points and chock
full of rings" "bosses," "machines"
and other naughty things to frighten
weak-kneed Democrats and bind
stronger the bond of Republicanism. He
had no platform worth speaking about,
but as Mr.. Urner said, stood on the
planks of ours in nearly every partic-
ular. Mr.. Lowndes cleverly avoided
addressing the negroes except at the
conclusion of his unsatisfactory re-
marks, and he did so with great cour-
tesy. He left great many things un-
said. Whilst he was speaking, much
noise was heard in the gallery and
downstairs in the rear of the hall,
and very few heard the speech.
Many Republicans and Democrats left
on account of the undesirable condi-
tons existing, and many women in
the gallery remained rather than push
their way through mass of negro
women and men. The others who
spoke were Hon. Harry M. Clabaugh,
Hon. Robert P. Graham, J. Frank
Supplee aud George l.. Wellington.
The latter INDUCED in some of his GUS
tomary abuse, and this coming from a
man as closely identified with what
they call machine methods and boss
dictation as any man he seeks to viii
lily and calumniate, is exceedingly
ridiculous. His record is known and
he can't go behind it.
