RED CAME IN FIRST.


ueiav Ua,. tr. ...o tn New York
Finished Ahead of Time.
NEW YORK, June s.-The great rolny
race of the red and blue. between Chicago
and this city was finished at l:b6 O'Clock
this morning The actual time of the race
was 65h. 53m.
The last relay should have reached the
finishing point at o'clock this morning.
Arriving when they did, they broke all
American records for relay race.
The great race, which had it's start ut
Chicago at 9:80 o'clock last Wednesday
morning, was begun after months OF the
most careful preparation. Two years ago,
Just after the first relay race between
Chicago and this city, General Miles
then i'm Chicago, expressed himself rs be-
ing strongly in favor of the bicycle In
military life and urged that relay races I've
more freely lndulged in. Believing that
the wheel would in future clay an i'm
portant part in military cirCN's, he him
self became rider and has had great
deal TO say of the present race, which w.s
organized almost on the strength OF his
words of encouragement.
The "blue" riders represented the mill
tary, the "rcd" the postal service. From
almost the first day Of the race the riders
were ahead Of the scheduled time, and
there was strong rivalry and hard riding
between the different colors TO distance
one another.
BY yesterday morning there was not a
bicycle rider In town who did not know
that the relay riders were far ahead of the
time ard that they would arrive not Ions
after midnight. At midnight there was q
great throng at the junction OF Sixtiett
street and the Boulevard, the finishing
spot of the race.
On the wall Of building close Mt hand
there had been posted an immense chart
showing the route from Chicago through
Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania and New
York, marked with figures that illustrated
the progress of the riders.
IL was l:56 o'clock this morning wher

BUFFALO BILLS WILD WEST.
Horsemen, Marksmen and Dare Devils


After triumphant tour of several years
in Europe, in 1898, the famous scout and
frontiersman, "Buffalo Bill" took his
Wild West show to the Worlds Fair at
Chicago, where its wonders were visited
by millions. Last year the camp of the
Wild West was pitched at Ambrose
Park, New York, and here, as elsew here,
attracted enormous audiences at each
performance for more than six months.
This season it is making a tour OF this
country in a new, enlarged and improved
form. In the reorganized program the
most thrilling of the old features of the
show are still exhibited, but sand wiched
in between them are exhibitions OF horse
mans hip, mar rksma hip and dare deviltry
in general by Cossacks, Gauchos, Arabs,
Gel imsHs, Eaeiishmen, Frenehmen, and
those pastmasters Of the mule In all It's
moods and lenses, the Southern darkey.
No spectacle ever seen on any stage can
equal in fire and vividness the homo
geneous mass of men and horses known
as the Congress of Rough Riders
of the World, and this part OF
the entertainment is thought by
many TO be far ahead of any of the other
unusually good features OF the show.
As one enthusiastic critic remarked on
seeing this exhibition for the first time,
''The splendor Of this equestrian pageant
raises the audience to An exceptional pitch
of enthusiasm. The Indians in full paint
and paraphernalia, the troops Of French,
German, English and American cavalry
dashing across the great ten-acre arena,
are q sight to dote upon, but the new
comers, instead of obscuring the cowboys
glory, only enhance 1t, and from spec
tacular point of view their presence is in
valuable. AS for Buffalo Bill,
himself his figure is as stall
wart and his aim as unerring
as ever. Under his leadership the
| Dead wood Coach will still be rescued from
| the Indians, and the settlers cabin and
| it's inmates will be saved from a horrible
| death. 1t Is Buffalo Bill who will lead
| the buffalo hunt, and it is his lasso
which will catch the lions share OF re-
| fractory mustangs. Together with Annie
6nkiey and Johnny Baker, he will supply
| the feats of marksmanship,and troop OF
| Arabs, Cossacks, Gauchos and Vaqueros
| will perform a series of specialties which
| include everything from riding horse
| on ones head TO giving a fifteen minute
skirt dance without moments intermis-
sion. This year the managerial strength,
| hitherto developed by Buffalo Bill and
his old time partner, Nate Salisbury, has
been augmented by a union of interest,
as far as this show is concerned, with Mr..
James A. Bailey, now for long
time at the head of Barnum's show.
Two performances will be given each
day, that in the evening illuminated by
an. electric light plant of enormous
power, and in the morning there will be
q free cavalcade, giving the spectators a
hint OF the wonders of the complete sh ow
itself. The Wild West will exhibit here
on Monday and Tuesday, June "a and %.

CHlLDRENS' PLAY GROUND
Here's a Chance to Chip Into the Fund
and Keep the Play Grounds Going.

Here's a Chance to Chip Into the Fund
and Keep the Play Grounds Going.
Three Fairgrounds for children were
maintained in Providence during tho
summer OF 1894, one each on Smiths
Hill, Atwell's avenue, and Ninton street,
They were designed as places where emil
dren confined to the city during the not
months, and especially children
living in the closely populated districts,
could go for recreation and play. Each
ground was under the charge OF kinder
gartners, whose influence was to make
the plays orderly and peacefui, anu
who had at their command all the re-
sources OF the kindergarten, TO interest
children and lead them In the right way.
The Fairgrounds were kept omen Tor SIX
weeks, with an average attendance OF over
ninety children each week, at totai ex-
pense of sll0 each.
This year it is proposed to establish
nine Fairgrounds, three for boys from
foS girls and little children. Young
men will act as leaders in the boys play
grounds, maintaining order and justice in
the sports, teaching new games as well as
the best ways OF playing OLD ones, making
short excursions with the boys TO places
OF historic or scenic interest, and acting
in general as elder brothers.
Kindergartens will be in charge OF the
playgroupds for girls and little children,
which will be conducted on much the
same plan as last year, except that
instructions will be given to the girls
in sewing and perhaps other domestic
duties, aud the experience OF last year
will make it possible TO otherwise enlarge
and improve the work.
The grounds will be located in differen i
parts of the city, near to or in the most
coIgested districts.
Contributions for the support OF the
Fairgrounds are solicited by the joint COM
mittee of the Union for Practical Progress
and the Free kindergarten Association
and may be sent to treasurer OF the former
society, Mr.. William p. Goodwin, Y
Market Square, ana will be acknowledged
