FLYING WHEELS.
10000 People Watched New Records Go
Up at Walthaln Yesterday.

Waltham, Mass, June 1.-THE con-
ditions for the National Circuit race meet
this afternoon on the Waltham Cycle
track were perfect. The crowd numbered
ten thousand, and the collection of racing
men were the best in quality ever seen on
this famous track. The mile invitation,
in which an effort was to be made to
beat the worlds competition record, was
dreary fiZzle, owing to the "jockeying"
OF riders, the crowd Kissing and advising
the riders to get off and walk On the
sprint home, Bald finished first in 2 is

Sanger. Johnson's race against the
quadruplet, manned by Daniels, Rich

tandem. They could not shake johnson
off, but neither could he ssgain OIL them
and the quad crossed the tape length
to the fore in /. 55 3-5, the fastest COM

Next to johnson, the real stars of the
day were the two classl A, lads. Tom

winning the event from scratch in 2. 10

UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA

Harvard May Refuse to Accept the Cam
bridge-Oxford Chs1enge.

Cambridge, Mass, June 17.-The
challenge from the English Universities,
Oxford and Cambridge, to Harvard and
Yale, to have field and track contests at
New York in sSeptember is received
at Harvard and is in the hands of Prof
Ames, chairman of the athletic commit
tee. As to whether Harvard will accept
the challenge, Prof Ames has nothing
official to say. Ex-Captain Bingham of
the Mott Haven team, to whom the
challenge was sent, says that under favor
able circumstances the proposed meeting
would be highly desired.
The general opinion however as voiced
by several representative men is that
Harvard should not accept the challenge
Under ordinary circumstances Harvard
would be glad to join with Yale in meet
ing the Englishmen, but it is felt direct
slight is put upon the University of
Pennsylvania. 1t was she who first
agitated the question of an international
contest and through her representative
challenge was sent some time ago to Ok
ford and Cambridge The challenge was
refused, but now comes counter
challenge which leaves Pennsylvania out
of it, Besides, Pennsylvania came out
ahead of Harvard in the recent inter
collegiate meet, thereby showing her
right to take precedence over Harvard in
regard to the international meet. 1t is
felt that Harvard cannot. honorably be-
come party to the freezing out Of Penn
sylvania. There are three ways suggested
in which an international meet could be
arranged. First, that the winner of the
Oxford Cambridge games should meet
with the winners of the intercollegiate
games here, that would be Yale against
the winner of the Oxford Cam bridge.
Second, that Oxford and Cambridge
oh thn ft,.ct or16 nd In tho
intercollegiate meet here, which would be
Yale and Pennsylvania. Third would be
for Harvard TO come in as q third college,
that is after Yale and Pennsylvania and
Oxford and Cambridge might take in
third English college.

Cash.

Biddeford, June 17.-When Wilbur S.
Cleaves who lives at Is Elm street went
down stairs from his sleeping room
this morning, he found evidence that
some one had been going through the

The back door in the ell of the house
was wide open and articles of furniture
in various rooms were destroyed
There was every indication that thieves
had been at work and Mr.. Cleaves at once
took q hasty inventory of his household
goods to see what was missing. All
the closets and drawers in the kitchen,
dining room and sitting room had been
opened and their contents ransacked
and articles taken from them were living
all around the floor.
There was quite a quantity of solid sill
yer ware on the dining room table and in
drawers of the sideboard, but though
everything of this sort had apparently
been handled, nothing had been taken
There is a secretary in the sitting room,
and this too had been thoroughly sacked.
The contents of the drawer were thrown
promiscuously about and everything had
been removed from the pigeon holes. A
roll OF bills amounting to quite a sum
was in one of the drawers and this was
taken. 1t is said that there was S75 in
