Gladly for the past three weeks.
The fruit and vegetable market Is quiet
and firm. Apples. from 75c to 81 .. are in
good demand. as are also the very fancy
stock quoted at sl.75Ge IS. The outside de-
mand for dollhouse vegetables takes so
many out of the market that IL leaves IL
rather bare.
Eggs were.quoted at lilo today. and were
stiff at that figure. There is no overstock,
the supply being about equal to the ee-
mand and no more.
The poultry market is we'll cleaned up.
owing to the demand from British Co
iumbia for live stock. Prices remain the
same, Sc per pound live weight and SQi

MILE CHAMPIONSHIP CUP,
The Ownership of the Trophy 1
QueStiOned.


Questioned.
During the week The question arose as to
the ownership of the Evening News trophy
cup for the one-mile championship of the
District Of Columbia In winning the
championship last Decoration day Billie
Sims was under the impression that he was
entitled to the possession Of the cup, and at
the last regular meeting of the Arlington
Wheelmen he announced his intention of
turning the cup over to the club to be held
until again competed for provided the cup
could be obtained.
The cup in question was put up about
four years ago by the Evening News and
was valued at 500. 1t was first competed
for at race meet at the old Y. M. c. A.
Park. corner 18th and u streets, given by
the old Victor Cycle Club. On account of
misunderstanding and the refusal of the
management to permit other than these
members to participate in the race. H. E.
Raymond, then chairman of the racing
board, directed that the race be run over
again. This was not done for some time.
and during the interval the racing rules of
the L. A. w. were put in force, regulating
the limit value OF prizes to amateurs to
anything valued at $50 or less. This pre-
vented at the time a permanent ownership
of the cup.
was won by c. E. Wood, then secretary of
the Washington Road Club. and now secre-
tary and treasurer Of the local division Of
the L. W. He was awarded possession
of the clp. and no letters restrictions
were placed upon him. Before another
championship race the Evening News went
under and all of its effects were purchased.
In the bill of sale there was nothing to in
clude the trophy ZIP, and no one claiming
1t, he held possession of 1t.
At one time he had made all arrange
ments to turn the trophy over to the
Washington Road Club for an ornament to
the club house, but owing to misunder-
standing with some of the club members
this was never done. although attempt
was made to compel him to do this. Since
then Mr.. Wood has given the trophy cup to
a friend. who has 1t in his possession and
where II is apt to remain.
AS the donor Of the cup is no more, and
no provision has been made for the dis
posal Of the trophy, 1t practically belongs
to the last winner. 1t is understood that
there ha. been some correspondence over
the possession of the cup, but nothing def
mite has been done.
