BLooMERs AT AsRuRY.
One third Of the Women Cyclists There
Wear Them.

W eilf lhfms
AsBUBy PARK, N. j., July 0.-The BIZ
cyclists and those who are studying cyclo-
mania are having a royal time here, and
the hotel men are reaping "a harvest. Ev-
erybody is happy except the man who
hates wheels, and nearly all Of that genus
have been driven ont of Asbury Park. Six
hundred more cyclists rolled into town
Tuesday.
Thirty-three per cent Of the women rid
ers wear bloomers. Bloomers as they are
illustrated in this town this week vary as
much as theatrical performers. Some Of
them have yards and yards of material in
them. They look like uninfated bellows
and touch the ankles Others cling more
closely TO the figure.
In the parade Tuesday afternoon there
were 63 women riders 2l Of whom wore
bloomers. That is about the ratio between
the balloons and skirt among all the wom-
en- riders. Some Of those who wore bloom
ers We're very pretty and they looked
sweet and attractive as they rolled lnooth-
" and confidently along.
Near the reviewing point scores Of
whcelwomen in boomers walked about
with perfect self possession aud discussed
cycling. There was one costume that
brought forth Obs" and "Ahs. A wom-
an Of about 35, with a fine figure, rode up
IN front. She wore light brown kniclSer-
bockers that had nothing TO cover them
from waist to knee and beautifully fitting
leggings. She also wore what appeared to
be velvet dress waist, with puifed sleeves,
and an Alpine hat There was a rush to
examine that costume. 1t didn't trouble
the wearer, who had an attractive face, a
bit
There were only $40 bicyclists in the
parade, but it was worth seeing There
was nothing to distinguish Grand Mar
shal AlcCabe nor the other mnrshals ex-
eept their position in the line. The Bon
day children, the tiny youngsters who ride
so well and who are used as living advcr-
tisements, We're in front.

Special Correspondence Evening Journal.
New CASTLE, July 10 CONSTABLE John
Creedon arrived at New Castle jail early
last evening. having prisoner
In irons who Is said to be one
Of New Castle county's most dis
reputable negroes. 1t was George
White, colored, who was committed
to prison on a charge Of attempt to
commit a felonious assault upon and
to await the result of the Injuries
White, who is notorious as "Stink"
was captured only after long chase on
the part OF Constable Creedon, who
found the negro hidden In the closet Of
friends house just across the Pennsyl
vania line.
He consented to be taken without
requisition papers and he was soon com
mitted to jail by the Hockessin Justice OF
the peace. The constable left New
Castle last night TO continue his search
for Frank Gibbs, pal Of Whites, aud
also for Sarah Tillman. dissolute
young negro woman of that neighbor-
hood,
1t seems that the prisoner, Gibbs, and
the Tillman girl on Saturday night
enticed the Stanley girl who is only
about 15 years old, to the Hockessin
race track, an unfrequented spot in the
night time
The two men made all sorts Of
improper proposals and the Tillman girl
yielded. The Stanley girl was firm in her
protests, however, and then her base
companions Iesorted to some drugged
liquor which they had brought along and
while Sarah held the weaker girl, they
forced her TO drink the vile stuff
This threw her into hysterical fits, and
when DR.. John Ball FIRST saw the girl on
Sunday, she was almost out of her mind.
