happy aud care rested lightly upon his
shoulders He could have stood quite load

across the road like n lead limb, and the
rider thought 1t would be sc od fun to ride
over his snakeship's head and end his con-

the wheel directly ut the snakes eyes and
struck him fairly.
There was report aud "A hiss, and the air
went out OF the front tire as it does out of

THREE MEN FROM EACH CITY
Chief Consul Conway w. Sans of Bal
timore and w. $. Mexican of the
Local Track, Talk Over Details
Interesting Gossip for Riders Of
the Silent Steed.

Chief Consul Conway W. Sans of Baltl
for the purpose OF arranging the details for
a series of inter- city bicycle races between
a team OF three men from Baltimore and
three from Washington, the events to be
decided by points, and to take place alter
nately on the Park cycle track of that
city, and the Washington track. Mr.. Sans
met w. s. Mexican, secretary OF the Wash
ington track, and Chief Consul W. T. Rob-
ertson of the District OF Columbia.
Mr.. Sans had BaltimOre's proposition
ready, hut the officials of Washington were
in no position to talk business, as the track
officials and Chief Consul Robertson failed
toreacli an agreement. Mr.. r.Samsexplained
TO the Washington contingent the ideas of
baltimore cyclers as to the manner in
which the races should be run, and the
prizes which should be given. He eX-
planned that his statement was only a sug-
sestion, and he wished to hear similar sug
gestions from the Washingtonians as a
basis for mutual agreement. =
The Washington cyclers seemed to un-
derstand Mr.. Sans position, but could
not negotiate until they had arrived at
an agreement among themselves. They
said they hoped to accomplish this agree
ment during the week and notify the Bal
timore end of the arrangement by Monday
evening. The Maryland division is ex-
ceedingly desirous, for the events and
stand ready to go to work.
The plan OF the Maryland officials was to
select the best three amateurs from each
city for a series of five races for cup
and individual prizes, the event to be de-
cided upon the total number of points
scored at the end of the season.
When this affair was first broached to
the Washington people they accepted the
suggestion with avidity, and declared them
selves as ready for the fray. Since then
they seemed to have had some difficulty
in getting together on plan.

HANNA CALLS COMMITTEE.
Republican Campaign Will Be Run in New
York 1T Will Be Vigorous.

Cleveland, O., July S.-The national
Republican executive committee viii
meet at Mark Hanna's Office in this
city next Tuesday, July IA.
The committee will then decide that
the national headquarters will be in
New York city, as Is customary; will
fill the vacancies in the national com
mittee from Colorado. Alaska, and the
District of Columbia, and will decide
upon plan of campaign.
This last and most important of its
immediate functions depends so en-
tirely upon the action of the national
Democratic convention now sitting.
that any forecast at the present time
is impossible.
1t is expected here that the Demo-
cratic convention will adjourn Friday
at the latest. The day following ad-
journment. Mark Hanna will go to
Canton to make a final submission TO
Major Mckinley of the membership of
the executive committee of the Repub-
lican party. This approved. the list
will be made public. Two or perhaps
three vacancies exist in the sense that
they await the action of the Democratic
distribution. but that is all. The GER
tainties are as follows: Mark A. Hanna
of Cleveland. chairman; Charles c.
Dawes of Evanston. ILL.,. w. T. Durbin
of Anderson, ILL.,: Cyrus Leland of
Troy. Kansas: Joseph H. Manley of
Augusta, Me-. Henry C. Paine of Mil
waukee. Wis.
These have given their assent and
will serve. The other three are likely
to be Matthews S. Quay Of Beaver, Pa. !:
Powell Clayton Of Little Rock, Ark :.
and John NJ. Thurston of Omaha. Neb
But it is to be borne in mind that ex-
igencies may be raised by Democratic
action which will bring into prominence
some one not yet mentioned
The secretary of the committee viii
certainly be William Mckinley Os-
borne of RoXbury. Mass. unless his
New England opponents bring argu-
ments more than usually cogent TO
bear against his becoming Mark
Hanna's right hand man.
1t is definitely settled that New York
will be unrepresented on the executive
committee except in some emergency
such as has just been indicated, and
that salve for any wounded feelings
which may exist in the Empire state
will be applied in the form of appoint
ments to the advisory committee.
Major Mckinley will leave Canton
for the first time since his nomination
on July % to attend the centennial cele-
of the founding of Cleveland
Mr.. Hanna has not yet decided
whether he will leave Cleveland for his
vacation next month or not If he
does he will not go to Newport, X. l..
as has been reported.
