Week, E. S. MCGOWAN being second, and A.
F. Rabe third. Under the direction of the

Total for the Country In 1894 Nearly
Sixteen Million.

WASHINGTON, July S.-The total enroll
ment in educational institutions Of all kinds
in the United States for the school year 1888

port OF last year, just published by Com

centage of total population enrolled in the

value during the year over $26 600 600, and
L. LOB more school houses were in operation.
In the past twenty years the South has
increased "a per cent in population, but its

BICYCLE DERBY FUSS.
Todd of Minneapolis Protests Be-
cause Peterson Won.

The fve-mile derby which was run at
Minnehaha park under the auspices of the
Minnehaha Driving Association last Tuesday,
has been protested by John B. Todd, of Minne-
apolis, and c. j. Peterson, of St. Paul
Peterson was the winner of the third prize.
gold watch valued at $50, and Todd fin
ished fourth. Immediately after the race
Todd declared that Peterson had used vile
language to him and that he would enter g
formal protest, which he did yesterday
Peterson had no idea of protesting the race
until Todd filed his complaint, but then he
got his "dander" up and came back with
the charge that Todd had tried to ditch him
several times during the race and had also
endeavored to work the same tactics on other
riders. Peterson firmly denies the charge
preferred by Todd and further says that the
latter can produce no substantiation for it,
while he claims he has three reputable men
who will testify to dirty work on the part
of the Minneapolis rider.
The opinion among ST. Paul cyclists who
witnessed the race is that Todd tried to
win place by unfair means, and upon be-
ing beaten, formulated the protest to vent
his spite upon his successful rival
While the protests pending Referee w.
e. Smith has notified the managers of the
race to withhold all prizes. His decision will
be rendered Monday.

OVATION FOR THE SPIDERS.
ONE IN EACH CITY.
Morning Game in Minneapolis, After
noon Game In ST. Paul.

In order that ST. Paul people who wish to
go out of town in the afternoon may see a
ball game before the heat of the day has
come, the management Of the MINNEAPOLIS
baseball club has arranged to call the inter
city game in that city at 1920. This will
give St. Paul people who leave the Ryan
hotel station not later than 9:15 chance to
get to the grounds in time to see the game
McGin will pitch for the locals, while it is
probable that Hastings will be in the box for
the Millers.
This afternoons game will be played on
the home grounds, and Denzer will be in the
box, as many of the local fans who are
unable to attend the everyday games have
been unable to see him pitch, and they want
to see the young wonder who has proved
such a puzzle for all the clubs in the Western
league. Manager Comiskey processes a de-
termination to beat Minneapolis this after
noon even more decisivoly than in the last
game with them, and he also challenges
them to make Denzer pitch ten innings again.
He is convinced, he says, that after they have
tried for nine innings to find Denzer this
afternoon, they will be ready to make terms
with the Pieketts or Quicksteps or possibly
even the Little Meteors On account of
the late hour of beginning the forenoon game
in MINNEAPOLIS, the game this afternoon will
not be called until o'clock, as even that will
allow the players but little rest between the
two events
Tomorrow the st. Paul and Minneapolis
clubs will play their last game of the present
nStASo OA lAS west Otue STOuDQS. MONDAY
the local team will go to Duluth and play
the Zenith city aggregation, returning Tues
day morning in time for a meeting with the
Grand Ranids team.
Manager Comiskey Announces that the en-
tire receipts of the game at Duluth will be
devoted to the Ten Minute Club, an exclusive
and eccentric cotere which was recently
founded here to enable the Comanche to
recall old and happy days in Cincinnati. 1t is
less ghoulish in its glee than the White
chapel club, and less expensive than the
Glover club, but the members say it is
power for good.
Billy George went fishing yesterday and
returned badly sunburned but it is thought
he will be able to play today.
Coniskey Yesterday made bet of $500 to
s100 that st. Paul would at some time within
the limits of the season, be in first place He

did not bet that they would finish there. but
he insists that when they leave st. Paul
three weeks Lence they will be leaders. If
the locals can take the two home games with
Minneapolis this afternoon and tomorrow the
Twin City clubs will be practically on an
even footing, and one or the other of them
certainly ought to be in first place, as the
two above them now have long trip ahead
OF them. With the local pitchers in their
present form, the Saints have an advantage
over the Millers, too, whose only reliance Is
on Hastings and Hutchinson although Healy
is good for about half his games.

NEW FLAG
Will Float Officially Today for the
First Time

WASHINGTON. July 3.-For the first time
tomorrow the flag Of the United States will
be hoated with ferty-fve stars on It's blue
field, indicating the admission of Utah to the
sisterhood of states. General orders issued
by the war and navy departments have pre-
pared the way fer the change and for sew
eral months past the dag-nakers have been
busy in placing new star on the flags In
stock. From economical consideration the
old army flags viii not be retired at once,
but will be replaced by the new ensigns.
In the case OF the naval flags the change
was more easily made, for all of these flags
are made at New York and Mare Island
navy yard. while those on hand on ship
board may be readily altered by the expert
sailmakers.
