 The weather yesterday was magnif- cent for a pleasant afternoon at the Cove and the lawn along the shore op- posite the Pequot house was filled all the afternoon with the visitors. The Branford cornet band, stationed on the lawn, gave a concert lasting from 1:30 until o'clock p. m.
 A program of exercises had been ar ranged, of which the chief event was the catboat race. A challenge having been received from the eatboat Nit, owned by J. N. Champion, for the Hin man cup the racing committee ap- pointed yesterday as the day for the race, which was open to all members of the club. The start was to have been made at 2:30, but it was 3:29 be- fore the starting gun was fired from the Pequot dock. The boats entered in the race were the Monsoon, sailed by M. R. Durham; the Fly, sailed by W, M. Wellman; the Castania, sailed by A. W. Beecher; the Nit sailed by J N. Champion, and the Hully Gee, sailed by George J. Ogleby. The course was a five-slded polygon, and the finish was about fifty yards off the shore in front of the Pequots' building.
 On the Monsoon, besides the master, were Edgar Buell., Andrew Buell. and Albert Buell. of Clinton. On the Nit were w H. Jennings of Southport and George Lathrop of New Haven. On the Castania were W. R. Clark, A. w Beecher and w A. Gillen of New Ha- ven.
 The breeze was a rather light one and was just the sort of a wind for the Nit, a big full-rigged cat. She took the wind first and sailed easily and swiftly in the wind, which was hardly heavy enough for the other boats.
 The boats finished in the following order and time:

THREE WEEKS BICYCLE TOUR

Through All the New England States
 United States Silver and the Cana
 dians.
 W. E. Hitchcock of this city and James McGinley of the Boston Athlet- ic club ended a three weeks bicycle tour through all the New England states and the province of Quebec. They report that they had considera- ble difficulty in disposing Of United States silver money across the Canada an line. The only place that the money can be used at it's face value is in ho- tels. Street car companies and steam boat companies refused to handle the smaller coins, and if they consent to handle bills take them at 8 discount of ten per cent.
 MT. Hitchcock says that in Montreal Q. conductor refused to accept a street car fare for which his companion offer ed three Canadian cents and two American coppers. In the country towns the merchants are 10th to accept American money. They will do so, however, when convinced that their client has no Canadian currency about him. The street cars are all placarded.

which was given him in his own county
in asking him 10 select his own delegates
20 the Oklahoma City convention. and
the list of men he selected being 50 en-
inently satisfactory TO the convention, 4
needs no microscope % detect his pop1-
larity.
1T is possible that Oklahoma viii
only be allowed TWO delegates AT the St
Louis convention and consequently
some rivalry is expected over the otheg
seat. Six delegates viii be sent and
four OF them or all six may be given
seats, but in case only two can obtain
them the Oklahoma City convention
viii designate which two Il viii be.
Henry Asp is generally considered as
the man who viii secure the second
seat, and In case only two delegates are
allowed he and Mr.. Ollie Will be the
two. The remaining four are very
doubtful. Each county having q man
who they wish 10 send. Roberts Of
kingfsher, Buckles of Enid and Nor
gan Of Perry seem 70 all be quite pop
ular. while StearnS OF POttawatomie
county is not far behind. But IL Is
very hard to tell just who the favored
candidates will be. and" our fellow
Kansan very aptly puts II. 1--WE can tell
better next Saturday night"
He also said that a lively time was
expected at the Oklahoma City conven-
ton. but the Kingfisher affair would be
more like a big reception rendered Den
mis- Flynn. than anything else.
When asked about the crops he said
that the wheat never looked finer. and
that the oats were coming up nicely.
