New York. There were ten relays, two
men being in each.
The ride is intended to be a practical
demonstration Of the utility OF the lie
In time OF war for carrying messages
from post to post. The run was made
under orders from headquarters. Riders
from the Wilmington Bicycle Club paced
the men from Hayre de Grace to Phila-
delphia. This is the longest distance Of
pacing performed by any one club and
over the worst roads.
The service rendered by the Whining
ton riders was the most valuable. Their
reputation as road riders is well known
all over the country. and for this reason
they were selected.
Captain Kirk worked hard to make the
run a success. and put the best riders in
the club on the road. The men who came
in contact with the Wilmington boys
speak in the highest terms Of them.
The military cyclists left Washington at
Z o'clock. At Havre de Grace Hickman,
jackson and John Minnick picked up
washburn and Gibson. the relay riders.
and took them as far as North East They
rode over the famous r.. w. a d. rail-
road bridge at Havre de Grace. There was
only twenty-inch plank, but the men
went over In safety.
At North East s. j. Haliott and Will
liam Hallott took up the pace and took
the men to Elkton. Harry Sayills and
Miller Mcconnell took up the pace and
brought the men to Ogleton.
At Elkton Washburn and Gibson
dropped out, and Willis and Bennett took
their places The men were scheduled to
get to Elkton at Ais, but left at Q o'clock.
J. H. Turner Jr., and w. r. Spencer
paced the two men to Wilmington. They
were expected here at 5.45, but arrived at
4.26, the eighteen miles being made in
one hour and nineteen minutes. Willis
| finished first, Bennett being several miles
behind him.

ssSchlatter is an odd genius, anyway YOU
take him. believe he is perfectly sincere.
OF course, I do not believe he is divine.
His words and actions leave no explana-
tion, except that he is daft
The Rev. Mr.. Peck said he believed
Schlatter, Notwithstanding his delusion,
has done u lot of good, and added:
HE has made "a lot of people who were
perfectly well certain of that fact, and
that is worth good deal. In every city
there arc plenty of people who think they
arc sick when they arc not Schlatter
makes these people think they are cured,
which is Just as beneficial as if they were.
No, never saw any Of his cures, although
have heard of them. / have had people
whom l knew tell me that he had cured
them Of different things, but I had not
previously known they were sick. Some
Of them claimed relief from rheumatism.
1t certainly had not been sufficiently So
we're to make them limp"
Mr. Peek says he has been told, too, that
Schlattar possesses some magnetic power.
Il mover took his hand myself" said Mr..
Peek, "but / have been told that he COM
municates kind Of electric shock by con-
tact q phenomenon which Is, believe,
not uncommon. But believe the great
