BICYCLE NOTES.

For Sunday last a club run OF
the Alamo Wheelmen was called,
but on account of the threatening
weather only two members showed
up. They enjoyed run to the
Medina.
The Alamo team, consisting Of
H. w. Hale and j. A. Roach, low
cred the Texas mile unpaced record,
reducing it from 2 AS to 2:36. This
was done on a Syracuse with road
tires. The boys promise to reduce
the record below 2:20 within the
next few weeks.
Jules Appler, we'll known citi-
zen of San Antonio, was run down
and badly injured by buggy
driven by two unknown parties, on
River avenue on Sunday last. The
police of San Antonio are too lem
lent as regards fast driving, other
wise this accident would never
have happened.
There are still some people who
imagine the bicycle has no rights.

the surrounding forces of the Confed-
eracy. Seven times during the first
day of the bombardment the flagstaff
was struck. Early in the day several
vessels Of the federal fleet were OBJ
served off the bar, and orders were
given to dip the flag toathem. This
was done, and the salute was returned,
but while the flag was being hoisted
after the third dip a shell burst near
the Flagstaff and cut the ballard. The
connected with the flag that it must
have come down with run had not
the end of the rope caught in the shiv-
cred staff and kept the Star Spangled
Banner aloft.
There it remained for long night
of active bombardment and great il
Elimination.
This is the incident to which Maj
Anderson referred when he afterward
said: God Almighty nailed that flag
to the mast, and I could not have low
cred it if I had tried"
At 1 o'clock Of the second day. the
Flagstaff having been hit twice before
that morning, was again struck and
fell. The flag was Immediately Sc
cured by Lieut.. Hall, and as soon as
staff was again hoisted on the parapet
by Lieut.. Snyder, of the engineer corps.
Maj. Anderson tells his own story in
his report: Having defended Fort
Sumter for thirty-four hours, until the
quarters were entirely burned, the
main gates destroyed by fire, the gorge
walls seriously injured and the maga-
zine surrounded by flames and it's doors
closed from the effect of heat, four
barrels and three cartridges of powder
only being available, and no provis-
ions remaining but pork, Fort Sum-
ter was evacuated and the little garri-
son marched out of the fort Sunday
afternoon, the 14th inst, with colors
flying, drums beating, bringing away
company and private property, and
saluting my flag with twenty-five
guns"
