AGRIF uNIEORM.
The Color Adopted at the Meeting of the
wilmington Bicycle Club Last Night.

At the regular meeting OF the Whining
ton Bicycle Club Monday gray uniform
was decided uron, but as yet the contract
for making the suits has not been given
out, The sentiment of the members
seemed to be unanimously in favor of
gray clothing. and the only reason an
award was not made was because there
were so many bidders and the prices
varied so much that it was thought wise to
allow the matter to rest for few days in
the hands oi the uniform committee, who
were requested to make Il further investi.
cation. bids were received from several
local houses and Baltimore firm sent u
representative.
The new suits will be deviation from
the conventional gray, which has been
worn by Wilmington wheelmen for n
number of years, and when the new suits
are received the club will present an at
tractive appearance. OF the 300 members
of the organization about l25 are riders
and of that number about IS will procure
the standard uniform adopted by the club.
1t will be a pretty sight indeed to see the
club out in a body all dressed in the light
gray costume which has been selected.

EXCITEMENT n CIROAISE.
Caused by the Grand Jury Presenting
County Oficials as Defanlters.

DENTON, Mn, April l0.-Much excite
ment has been caused by the action of the
grand jury in presenting two Old tax
collectors and the sheriff as defaulters.
To-day when the jury made its report it
system of collecting taxes which has been
in operation nearly three years, copied
after the Kent and Cecil Law, but censured
the officials for not living up to and car
rying out the provisions OF the law better,
claiming that in measure the value of
the new law has been lessened by negli-
gence.
As soon as tho reading of the report was
concluded counsel for the sheriff, the
county commissioners and the foreman of
the grand jury became involved in a dis
cussion trying to locate the responsibility.
Judge Wickes allayed what promised TO
be u lively tilt by declaring that the court
room was no place for such an argument.
