out, with a fervor which betokened
the pleasure it afforded the partici-
pants, numbers of the lesser queens
took the arm of a gallant and INDUCED
with a zest which carried their blue
blood to their cheeks in a crimson glow
that left very little of a suspicion that
it had ever been any other hue. Dur
ing it all her majesty looked admir-
ingly on, giving occasional mods of ap-
prevail, which sentiment was straight
way conveyed to the assemblage by
the prime minister. Queen jeans ap-
probation of the good time her sub
jects were having was so much in
evidence that it was suspected she
would have dispensed with dignity
long enough to have had just one
dance, had it not been that her train
was toe unwieldy.
At 4 o'clock, and when the merri-
ment was at it's height, Charley Stan
ton stepped to the center of the floor
and announced that special courier
from the queen had arrived bearing a
message from her royal highness to
her subjects, the import of which the
queens minister would make konwn
to the people. Prime Minister Colborn
arose and was greeted by a round of
applause. He then said: II am di-
rected to state that among the presen-
tations that have been made to her
majesty, Queen Jean, is a wheel offered
to the successful contestant for the
honor of reigning queen of the carni-
val. Her gracious majesty being So
licitous for the welfare of all her sub
jects, and wishing to ameliorate mis-
fortunes, desires me to say that she
will donate the wheel to be disposed of
by chance, and the proceeds to go to
the Orphans Home" Her majesty S
benevolent act of grace was given a
tumultous expression of approval and
the dance went on. There was no
further interruption Of the merry
making, which continued till nightfall.
Meanwhile, some firing of the exer-
ton of dancing, took to the water
or amused themselves in various ways.
THE ROAD RACE.
At about O'Clock shout of here
they come" gave notice that the riders
in the road race were near at hand and
those interested in cycling f1ocked to
the station platform to see the riders
pass There were five of them punched
in front who went by with q flash
while the rest of the starters struggled
along at various distances. That was
about all there was to be seen of the
race from the beach but it was suf-
ficient to show that some hard riding
was being done.
The rare started nine miles this side
of the resort and being for ten miles,
carried the riders a mile beyond
Twenty-four starters were lined up
when starter Conley sent them away
promptly at the scheduled time. They
were: A. Z. Custer, Sam GALLAGHER, F.
j. Barnes, A. w. Beam, r. H. Walker

Fenton and Q. z. Emery. The latter
two were the only scratch starters, the
others receiving from forty-five seconds
to five minutes handicap.
The race was a pretty one but was
somewhat of a failure for the reason
that the observation train which was
supposed to reach the finishing point in
time to enable the judges to take the
times, failed to keep up with the race,
the riders finishing fully minute in
advance of the train. The result was
that no time was caught and consider
able difficulty was met with in de-
Gliding who were the winners, but this
was eventually done by the judges TAX
ing the testimony of the riders and
calculating the time. Some dissatisfac-
ton was expressed by some of the con-
testants and one protest was entered
but was not entertained by the judges
under the circumstances. The majority
of the riders were satisfied with the
decisions which were as follows:
Arthur Liday, first, Max Alexander,
