RACES At Los ANGELES
Probable Winners in the Kreist,.rn fest
Bicycle Erents.

Pr06dbte Winners in the kreiSttIrn fest
Bicycle Ecents.
LOS ANGELES, CAL, June 19.-Not-
outstanding that entries for the bicycle
races of the coming Kreisturnfest closed
yesterday applications have been coming
by wire all day. More general interest has
been manifested in the bicycle races than
in almost any other event.
In the one-mile novice race w. B.
Straube looms up as a favorite.
In the class b fiye-mile race Kitchen.
Albrecht and Castleman will probably be
scratch men, and if the other participants
in the race do not get too great handicap
Altrecht should be a winner, as he is
probably the best long-distance bicyclist
on the coast. On June he broke the fifty
mile record.
The one-mile class B race will be be-
tween Kitchen, Burke, Slater, Lacy and
Cleaver, and should be Cleaver's race, as
he has a record of 2 minutes 6 seconds.
However, he may not be allowed to enter,
being now under suspension.
In the two-mile, class A, race, Ii. E. Nc
Crea, W. A. Taylor and D. E. Whitman
will probably be scratch men and McCrea
the winner. McCrea, the star rider of the
town, on the 1st of May meeting of Los
Angeles Wheelmen made a phenomenal
record of eleven tirsts. At this meeting he
broke the class A coast record, riding the
last mile in 2:15
In the quarter-mile class B, race, Lacy.
Slater, Burke and Smith are regarded as
favorites On May IS, at Athletic Park,
in the twenty mile race Lacy made a
record of l hour min. ~ sec. Slater is
swift man, very graceful rider, and
fully up to all the tactics of the track.
This race will be sprint from start to
finish. Burke and Lacy should be win
ners, the latter being spoken of as one of
the best track men on the coast and one
always equal to a squirt on the home
stretch. If Godfrey Smith does not go
hunting iackrabbits" he will give these
two hard tussel.
The track is not considered fast one,
but it will be placed in the very best posi-
BILE condition, and from the great rivalry
between the speedy riders who have en-
tered it is probable that some of the pres
ent records will not stand.

WASHINGTON, D. c., June 19.-Sealed
proposals were invited to-day by the Sec
rotary Of the Treasury for the sampling

such ores are to be the same as that usually
adopted for commercial purposes by public
sampling works in the United States, and
bidders must stand under oath for the
facilities under their control for perform
ing the service, and the method in detail
which they propose to use. The right is
reserved to reject any or all bids, and to
award the contract to one bidder for all
the work, or to accept separate bids for the
several / rts at which ores are imported.

leaves for st. Louis tonight to see Chair
man Maffitt of the Democratic Central

that he would refuse the request to cali a

WESTERN LINES NOT AGREED.
They Cannot Get the linton Pacific to
Come In.

CHICAGO, ILL, June 19.-The Western
lines were not so sure to-day that they will
hold a meeting in Denver on June a. They
cannot seem to make any progress with
the Union Pacific, and they cannot get
along without it. No amount of endeavor
has been able to extract from the Union
Pacific an assurance that they will have
anything to do with the reorganization of
tho lines of the Western Passenger Asso-
citation. 1t is practically hopeless to think
of reorganizing the Colorado traffic with
the Union Pacific as an outsider, and par
ticularly as long as it seems to be just now
in mood for reducing rates.
There is growing opinion that it would
be best for the lines to wait short time
and see what Receiver Egan of the Short
Line will do

LIBERALS Are ALARMED.
Stand of Mr.. Gladstone on the Pairi,,
PlOnOSifiOn.

ITODOSItOH.
LONDON, Eng, June 19.-The sensation
of the day in political circles here is the
announcement of the Times this morning
that Mr.. Gladstone had withdrawn from
his pairing agreement with the Right Hon.
Charles Villiers, member of Parliament for
the first division of Wolverhampton. The
Liberals are greatly alarmed at this action
on the part of Mr.. Gladstone, and the
Unionists are correspondence jubilant.
1t is learned, however, upon authority
that Mr.. Gladstone's withdrawal is on the
Welsh church disestablishment bill only.
The Westminster Gazette this afternoon
says all the talk about Mr.. Gladstone's dis
satisfaction with the Government is moth
ing more than rubbish.

Uprising.

Uprising.
Ell RENO, 0. r., June 19-Dispatches
from Arapahoe and Captain Mackey's
camp of Troop 4, Third Cavalry, indicate
increased uneasiness growing out of the
killing of the Cheyenne Indian Red Lodge
by the Sheriff OF & County. 1t contended
by the Indians that the killing was unwar-
ranted and without provocation-claims
that seem to be liable-and there will
likely be trouble unless the militia over
comes it. The military at Fort Reno are
under marching orders, issued to-day by
Colonel Pearson. Troop B, Third Cavalry,

Newport's Notable Event.
Atlanta Constitution.

Last Wednesday night Cornelius Van
derbilt's magnificent new residence at
Newport was opened with a ball.
AS Western paper puts it, a. 900, 600, =
600 worth OF society came to the festivity,
and the S3, 600, 600 palace shone resplend-
ent. Two hundred guests gathered around
the 800, 600 fountain by the grand stair
way.
Inc western paper goes on to say:
"ln these prosaic Dun-and- Bradstreet
times 1t requires no great mental strain
TO get true estimate of events in Co.
thamite society. Adjeetives are meaning
less when compared with commercial rat
ings. "Mr. Vanastorclews, 1910 600, 600,
led the cotillion,n means much more than
q string OF trite adjectives which have
been used over and over again. A little
arithmetical calculation in the present
case shows that the 200 guests averaged
go, 600, 900 apiece. IL that doesn't entitle
them to be termed the scream OF the
cream, skinned milk ought to be good
enough for most people.
"No one will find fault with the magnif-
cence OF this greatest OF society's events
at Newport. One of the virtues of the
prodigiously rich is found in their extrav-
agances, and in this respect the Wander
bilts have always been prodigal. IL Mr..
Vanderbilt should decide to have his
$50, 600 fountain spout champagne no one
should object"
There is touch of iii nature in these
comments. Ours is a country for all
classes, the rich and the poor, all colors
and all races. A billion dollar ball is Just
as much in keeping with the spirit of our
institutions and the tone OF our society as
any other gathering would be. IL Is
good thing for the people at large that
the rich are pleasure seekers and their ex-
travagance is IN many ways a blessing.
The Vanderbilt ball turned an immense
sum OF money loose, and il directly and
indirectly benefited thousands OF trades
men and toilers. Every State In the union
would be better of II II had few Van
