While 1t seems TO be the general notion
that Fred Sims Will have walkover for
first place in the Dupont Clubs twenty
mile race on Monday, some experienced
cyclists think that IL he wins he will have
about all he can Well do on his hands
Sims great ten-mile race at Asbury Park
is pointed to by his admirers as evidence
that he can not be beaten in the coming
event. Those who think there are others
who have n chance admit Sims is great
at track racing, but road racing, they
say, is quite different thing.
Il don't expect TO see Sims wiD," said
one wellknown rider. In fact, 1t would
not surprise me to see the race go TO
some novice whose chances at present
seem obscure. 1 know several who are
going in who are mighty good on the road
Sims may win, but he is not used to up
and down hill work, while this sort Of
riding Is about all the other fellows know.
There are two beautiful hills on the course
the race is 10 be run Overcome going and
one coming-and If Fred gets over them
without tiring he will do better than l
am looking for him 10 do"
There is to be meeting at the Light
Infantry Armory tonight for the pur-
pose of laying plans for the formation or
arranged after The game played by the
Carroll Institute and washington Athletic
Club teams, at the gymnasium or the latter
few evenings ago. Both OF these organ
izations and the others who were in the
league last year will have representatives
on hand and a league movement viii no
doubt be set on FOOT.
B. F. Grimes, who will represent the
si,,l. in
Monday, is regarded by good judges OF
nerve, speed and endurance as promis-
ing dark horse for at least a good place In
that event. Grimes is said to have done
some splendid riding in practice OF late
and is in fine condition. He is said to be
a good all around athlete and powerful
Young fellow who can stand bruising race
without flinching, and on these qualities
his supporters base their hopes.
Fred Schade, as The Times stated yester-
day, does not complain about being made
scratch man in the one-half mile and two
mile handicap races to be run off at Van
Ness Park to-day, but many think several
other riders have been given advantage
over him. + or instance, it is claimed by
some that George Smith should not have
been given ninety yards the best of Scbade.
As for the sixty yards start given c. E.
Wood, M complaint is made. 1t seems that
he is not looked upon as dangerous conf
petitor for Schade with that advantage.
1t is predicted that Wood won't last at the
clip he will have to go, but Smith with
his ninety yards is evidently figured on
as liable to make trouble for the clever
fair-haired boy. Others, too, are deemed
as having been very pleasantly dealt with
by the Handicapped, but with even these
disadvantages, Schade's admirers, and he
has n host of them, while they are some

came into the possession Of the mort
gagce, Rylaud Hardy Of Cavendish.
Hardy leased it to different parties up
to 1892 when he sold it to l.. }

lord.
The House was thoroughly built
and upon modern lines The rooms
are large and well lighted, and the
Railways capacious. Over three hun
dred feet Of yeranda occupy the

Comparisons Between the W Isun and
MCKINLEY LAWS.

Mcthinltv Laws.
Washington, June 2S.-Yesterdav
ended the 10th month of the opera
tons of the Wilson law. Going into
effect August %, 1894, the receipts
of June 27, 895, close the 10 months
record, and while the friends of the
law are in momentarv spasms of de-
light over June surplus of $500, 900
the full record of the 10 months is q
sorry one. No month in the history
of the treasury for quarter Of a GEN.
tury has shown such small receipts as
did many of the months since the new
law went into effect, and had the law
been compelled to meet the demands
made on the treasury under other rev.
enue laws the deficiency would have
been many millions greater.
1t may be interesting to see, side
by side, the latest figures showing the
operation of the Wilson law, compared
with those of the Mckinley law at
corresponding periods in its history.

Rev Dr.. Dixon is opposed 10 re-
curing women to promise to "obey'
in the marriage ceremony. He says
"During my whole life as minis.
ter of the Gospel / have never at
tempted to exact such prepostcrous
promise from woman in the few mar
riage ceremonies which / have per-
formed for the very simple reason
that | knew they would not keep such
promise.
No woman does it nor can she dc
it, and it is revival of harbarism to
attempt to enforce it and is impossi-
BILE of fulfillment. 1t is mistake
for minister of God to undertake tC
marry parties whom he does not well
know"

Good News for Dorset.
The Rutland Herald of Saturday


says:
The citizens of Dorset and of n
considerable portion of Rutland and
Bennington counties as well will be
glad to learn that Two large marble
properties in Dorset, that have been
idle for the past two years, have been
purchased by a syndicate which pro-
poses to resume active operations in
the quarries as soon as possible.
The properties are those known as
that of d. l.. Kent & Co. and S. F..
Prince & Co. Both estates are in
solvent, and j. B. HOLSTER is the as
signee of the former and j. w. Cram
ton of the latter. The properties are
located In East and South Dorset and
include quarries, mills, etc.
The purchase was made by Charles
VI. w GblcI uuu w llllulll u. NTdN us
trustees for syndicate of Philadel-
phia and Baltimore capitalists and
building contractors. Mr.. Wetter is
a member of the Philadelphia firm of
G. F. Payne & Co., which is at pres
ent engaged in the erection of the
new buildings in connection with the
University of Vermont. The syndi-
cate will operate as a stock corpora
ton, and meeting to further ar
engagements was held yesterday in
Lee, Mass, where Mr.. Gray resides
a portion of the time. In the syndi-
cate are some Of the strongest build
ing concerns in the country, and it is
probable that upwards of 100 men
will soon be employed IN the quarries
from which material for an assured
market will be taken.
