campment--Notcs.

A horse attached to buggy owned by
william Gilbsne that was left standing
on Livingstone street at 6:25 O'Clock last

terday speeded In q way of surprise its
owners. The animal, with light wagon
attached to 1t, ran from 679 Douglas
avenue TO Branch avenue, and through that
thoroughfare 60 North Main street, where
1t was stopped by John Oates.

rect it's own movements without restraint
was one belonging to peddlers IL had
been feeding near Randall square, when
the idea of a better place TO stop took
possession of the horse ana 1t started to
run, but the Journey was ingloriously cut

orally respect the rights of those that
own bikes, but.one rider who rides fire.
quently.on the lower part OF Gladstone
avenue seems to have about as low an
estimate OF the rights OF peoestrians as
could possibly be imagined. Last night
two men were walking on the.cros walk
that divides Gladstone avenue from the
square when the fellow referred to drove
right up TO them but did not ring his
bell. The two travellers on the highway
in some unknown manner escaped being
run over, but.the cyclist bad to get OF

that according to the story OF reliable
bystander, the two men were followed
good ways by him down Charles street.
The fellow who has no respect for foot
travellers drew OF to strike one OF the
men, but ho saw o policeman and .sneaksd

HAVE CHANGED THEIR ITINERARY.
fhe word has been passed along the
line that the North End Is very bad
way for tramps to enter tho city, and the
wanderers have recognized the fact tnat
instead OF roses and handouts, police
men and patrol wagons are the only
luxuries ready for them. The .iumber OF
suspicious characters In the neig bor-
hood has grown beautifully less.
The Emmmet Temperance Cadets will
begin their 10Th annual encampment at
Rocky Point the week beginning August
3. Captain Bernard j. Waters Is very con-
hdent that the coming encampment
Will be one OF the largest and best ever
held.by his command. James j. O'Con-
nor will be the chief marshal OF the
camp, and the routine work to be done
by the men witt be large enough
keep them busy and render the encamp-
ment profts ble. The "boys" Will be
much pleased to have their friends call
on them during encampment week.

A horse owned by william II. Gar

WILL RACE ANOTHER NIGHT.
Two well known young men have
been for tome time talking of their great
speed on the wheel, and last night their
fr ends determ ined the matter should be
settled. The young men who are so devot-
ed to the bikes are Edward Prendergast
aud Richard Crane. 1he course was care
ully marked out where no strangers
would be ipterferred with In their use OF
the road, and the two men, VINO were
in gocd condition, were started by Ed
ward Hughes, and "Joe" Flaherty was
referee. The contestants maze a good
start and everything promised that the
road record would he smashed, but un-
fortunately just as the finish was near
there was a collision and the only things
smashed were the minor parts OF one OF
the machines, The race will be run
