human breast cannot be dampened by
whatever may be unpropitious in the

was ideal: it was inviting to out-of-

which the nations natal day arouses.
The public turned out en- masse.
The streets resounded with the
boom and reecho of explosives all
day. Flags and other American DOL
ors hoated, and happiness reigned.
At night there were many handsome
pyrotechnic displays. and as far as
Rock Island is concerned the dav

tcrday, surprising all former events
Twelve thousand people were there
in the afternoon, taxing the equip
ment of the Davenport u Rock Isl
and Railway company to carry them
all. while many went by vehicle, and
others swarmed in from the sur
rounding country. All the attrac-
tions were much en- joyed. although the
balloon ascension was unavoidably
omitted. The fireworks at night
held many who went out during the
dav, in addition to those who went
out in the evening. The consequence
was, there was swarm coming back
into the city from 10 o'clock Oh until
midnight. People ratronized all the
street car lines literally, and it was
one of the biggest days, in point of
passengers carried, in local street
railway history.
The Excursion.
The excursions on the river, up the
Hennepin and to Offerman's island,

THE BICYCLE RACES.
Interesting Contests and Good Records
Made.


Notwithstanding the immense
crowds attracted to the various other
points of amusement yesterday af-
ternoon, Twin-City park was COM
fortably filled on the occasion of the
second annual bicycle meet. which
was this year given under the au-
spices OF the Rock Island Cycle club.
This seasons venture was more of a
success in point Of attendance than
last years. and an encouraging one
in all ways, which can be attrib-
uted to the increasing interest
being directed to the wheel. Yester-
days meet attracted 10 less than
800 of the best people, mostly from
Rock Island, although Davenport
and Moline contributed sufficiently
to be remembered. The track was in
excellent condition and nature could
not have moulded more perfect and
appropriate day.
In the grandstand was stationed
the Port Byron band, which dis
coursed pleasingly at intervals.
The contests, eight in number,
were decidedly interesting. and some
of them exciting enough to engender
the enthusiastic shouts and waving
OF parasols, handkerchiefs, etc. :.
by the audience. Fortunately
the event was unattended By
any serious mishap, although
Walter Hynes experienced close
call. but escaped with few
scratches about the face and body.
The only accident occurred in the
third contest. when c. o. Nclms fell
and was collided with by <. w.
Brookman and Hynos, the latter be-
ing thrown over against the fence
rather forcibly. Nelms had his leg
scratched, but Brookman WASH t
touched.
Easy for Boy schau.
c. +. Boyschau, of Chicago, was
the only professional entered. and
capturing a winning position was
apparently a pleasant task for him.
rs he won four OF the five contests in
which he was entered. 1t was plain
that the company was little slow
for him. Boyschau is the former
Davenport lad, who swooped down
on last seasons meet and lsnded
nearly everything in sight. The D.
mile handicap was whore Boyschau
over-estimated himself. Walter
Hynes winning it and consider
ably reducing his starting lead
of $50 yards. A great disad-
vantage to the riders was the mar
rowness of the track and the abrupt
ness of the corners. The latter IT.
regularity seemed TO interfere with
W. II. Hyde, who appeared in good
condition and would undoubtedly
have otherwise made it interesting
for Boyschau. Nevertheless, HYDE
