Etttee of the Clio Wheelmen will meet
this evening to consider a number Oh
important matters that will tend to add
TO the success of the affair. That the
Clubs of the county are manlfesting
unusual interest in the affair is shown
by the encouraging letters received by
the committee. The interest has grown
apace II New York n Brooklyn, the
most prominent clubs of those cities haV-
ing requested places in line. From pres
ent Indications it sis safe to say that the
visiting wheelunen will number at least
five hundred. The New York clubs that
have accepted the invitation Of the Clos
are the Riversides. Torkvilie Wheelmen.
Century Wheelmen q Greenwich Wheel
men and Kings County Wheelmen. The
latter organization is the strongest in
the City of Chlrehes. and its members
are anxious to see the Clos make the
parade a success. The Kings County
Wheelmen managed the monster parade
in commemoration of the completion OF
the Coney Island Cycle Path. and as the
Clos assisted in making this event the
big success it was, they are more thar
willing to reciprocate. To this end
they have kindly volunteered to assist
in the preliminary arrangements. but as
the arrangements were practically COM
pleted before the kim offer was received,
the Clos were compelled to decline their
assistance. The Kings County boys,
however. are enHsting the cyclers OF
Brooklyn, and promise to bring over a
large delegation to participate in the
parade. Newark will also be largely
represented the Century Wheelmen and
White Star Cycle ! doing like work
in that city.
At the meeting tonight the committee
will allot the many prizes that nave been
contributed for the parade and races. Al
though no action has yet been taken
in the matter, it is more than probabie
that the handsome bronze clock pre-
scented by 9TH Jersey City News VIII
be the first prize In the the ten mile
road race to be run in the afternoon.
The valuable silver water pitcher also
presented by the News" will probably
be selected as the prize for the club with
the largest representation in line. The
committee is now devotdng its efforts to
the souvenir programme. AS the COM
mittee found it necessary to incur con-
siderable expense to insure success, It
has been decided to set aside a few pages

penses might be raised. The committee

THE IDEAL HUSBAND.
A Variety of Opinions From Promi'

The editor of an English periodical
made the request of eight women writers
to define the 'idealh husband"

and are calculated to make one prefer
ones W ideal rather than that of
any of these women. Among the wise
and deep u~tterances may be quoted a
few. Lady Jeune, wife of the eminent
Judge, Sir Francis Jeune, says: There
must be a master mind in every house,
and the sooner that is recognized, the
better for both" Mrs. Boyd Carpenter,
wife of the Lord Bishop of Ripon, says
that an ideal husband is not possible
without an ideal wife" Mrs. Stannard,
well known under the pen name of John
Strange Winter, thinks it very amusing
that any one should have a notion of
finding anything ideal in a man. Mrs.
and Mrs. Fenwick Miller, a writer on
health, dress and manners in many pa
pers, thinks girls should not expect too
much of mere man" Mrs: Crawford,

can't be ideal, and if he were he would

nan The idea varies with what we
commonly call a persons i~deas-which
sense a husband may be ideal, and what
Mrs. Crawford means is that a pattern

truth is that an ideal husband is a good

stands, though there may be some inter-
est attached to different peoples remarks

at first is difficult, but when conquered

Phase of Womanss Rights in France
Nine. j. Seminal, an advocate of wom-
ans rights in France, has been. largely
instrumental in bringing before the
Chamber of Deputies a married wom-
ans salary BILL" the justice of which
appeals to the meanes understanding.
Actuated by a warna-hearted desire, to
gain their sympathles and invest them
with a personal interest in the matter,
she has caused to be distributed to Wom-
en- of all grades in he public places
where they c~ongregate, or where remlne
inc hands are employed, thousands OF
prospectuses. These set out the text OF
the proposed bill in simple. s~traightfor-
ward language. In all probability NINE.
Seminal will be called upon to speak IN
favor of the bill, and she looks forward
with some trepidation to the ordeal, nav
ing plenty of true womanly modesty.

AT ELM CITY DRIVING PARK
R1CES 40 BE HELD THERE TO-
MORROW.

Project to Hold Races All Through the
Summer and Fall-old Days at Hamilton
Park-Men of Note in Former Days In
terested In Good Horses.
1t has now been definitely decided
to hold races at the Elm City Driving
Park tomorrow and it is not at all un-
likely that a series of races will be
held during the rest of the summer and
fall perhaps once week, if the races
tomorrow meet with the proper sup
port and patronage, Some of the best
horses in this city and from neighbour
ing towns also will, with proper en-
enlargement, be secured for the con-
tests, and if sufficient encouragement
is given horses may brought here from
some of the great national racing CEN
ters. 1t promises to be very nice trot-
ting and will be conducted in the best
possible manner The idea is to revive
in some measure the old time celebrity
of this park. OF course no pools will
be sold. so the races will simply be ex-
nlDltOpS OF speed.
The movement reminds one of the old
days of racing when the present Elm
City Driving Park was known as Ham
llton Park. The late General Nye, who
was for many years we'll known as
a clothier in this city, was accustomed
to preside at the races, as one of the
judges or to drive some fast trotter.
Also among those who used to either
drive at the park or have their horses
there We're Charles Cruttenden, the late
Charles Chase and Samuel Cruttenden
of this city, and the late Charles Dicker-
man of Centerville, who drove and won
many races in the old park; also Mr..
Pratt of Bradley & Pratt of the old
Corner Hat Store" There was also
Jarvis Joslyn, who seldom failed to have
asgood horse in the races and to drive
| i himself. Mr. Coe, who kept the Re-
vSre house, New York, was very fire.
quently here at the races.
Among the gentlemen Of this city
who are supporting this enterprise and
whose horses will probably be seen on
the track are William Nicely, Even

binger brothers, John Dillon of Dillon
& Douglass, George White, Frank P,
Clark, Joseph Mcdonald, DR.. Ross, e.

New Haven has its share of fine
horses and there are also a great many
lovers of the sport in the city, and so
there is every reason to hope and be-
lieve that the project will be a great
success. Hubinger brothers, who own

FIRE BELL ON A RAMPAGE.
Machinery in the Clock Tower Out o
Order.

Order.
The fire alarm bell in the, tower of
the city hall went on a rampage soon
alters O'Clock yesterday morning, and
the people in the center of the city came
to all sorts of conclusions In regard, to
the strange performance. The bell
rang fifty-two times in rapid succession,
so rapid In fact that the machinery
in the fire department headquarters
could not run fast enough to follow
1t, and 1t was shut off. The bell would
have continued ringing in the same
manner for an hour or SO, had not the
entire fire alarm telegraph system been
shut off temporarily.
Superintendent w. C Smith started
out to find what the difficulty was,
and found that one wire had fallen
down across another on Bradley street,
near Orange street. Some one in trying
to remove the wire brought 1t in contact
rapidly with the other wire, thus form
ing a circuit and ringing the bell at
every contact. After the trouble was
discovered it required little work to re-
pair 1t. At noon the big bell again
pea1ed forth just as 1t was about to
strike the four strokes for IL o'clock.
Another connection was caused in the
fire department, but the bell did not
cease until it had struck 100 times.
BY that time the firemen had located
the trouble. They found that a small
spring in the cogs which has been in
place since 1868 had broken. The only
time that the bell had been on a
rampage before this was in 1877, when it
rung $50 times. One of the wires fell
in the slush at that time.
