TALENT WAS GOOD AT
GUESSING.
A Big Crowd Turned Out to See the
FaVOrite Win on the Tennessee
Track.

CINCINNATI, April 11.-Six thousand peo-
pie attended the opening of the first spring
meeting of the Queen City Jockey club at the
Newport race track today. The weather was
perfect, and the track in perfect condition.
Prince Imperial, with 124 pounds UP, after
twenty five minutes delay at the post, ran
the six furlongs in 1:151a. 1t is predicted
that the same distance will be run in 1:14
before the end of the first week. 1t was a
great betting crowd and the ten books in line
could not handle the business. The horses
ran well, and the day was a good one for the
talent. The greatest difficulty at present is
the lack of stable room. Only $50 stalls are
completed. Five of the Brown starting ma
chimes will be put in operation Monday. The
course is three and a half miles from Foun-
tain square. and is reached by two lines of
railway, two street car lines and line of
river steamers. Summaries:
+ First race, Inaugural stakes, six furlongs-

BICYCLING IN EUROPE,
Requisites in Fitting Out for a
TOurAtA q

The first two requisites are, how
ever a good wheel and a good body,
says Harper's Bazaar. AS for the first
it may as well be dropped here for no
two men,. and SO far }as any one can
find out, no two women, will ever agree
on the merits of any one wheel, unless
they happen to be financially interested
in one particular bicyeleSfirm or have
friends who are. It would be foolish
to discuss bicycles here Therefore The
second requisite, however. is one upon
which doctors will pretty generally
agree.
II you will try to, ride a wheel ten
miles for the first time after two
months of inaction, sYouc5will be stiff
ana tired. To prepare for a 5OO-mile
trip requires, therefore,, a certain
amount of definite 1traifing.z Suppose,
then, that Mrs Allen, and Miss Bart
lett are planning to sail from New
York on one of the smaller boats on
June Is: They have each purchased a
round-trip ticket for $50. On the LIST
OF May they begin riding their wheels
half, an hour each day, if it Is not
absolutely raining. That Is perhaps
four or five miles. They set out for
some definite point known to:qbe half
that distance from their homes. Thev
ride straight there and. then STRAIGHT
odch". Wneh lhey reach home they are
warm. Consequently they go at once
to the bath and then change their
clothing. At about the middle of Nav
they ride an hour or an hour and q
half, covering eight or twelve miles
according to the time, but always 90,
ing. to some definite point and returning
again at steady businesslike speed
And blythe LIST of June they are TAX
ing three rides a week of about fort,
miles each-twenty in the morning and
twenty IN the afternoon, This, it is
important to note Is done without II
any time using up" either Mrs. Allen
or Miss Bartlett.
III all goes well, the condition of tbe
TWO young women is good when thew
set sail on the 18th for Southampton

THE BICYCLES INFLUENCE.
Making Changes In Skirts and Foot
Unreasonable Costumes.

There is no doubt that the bicycle
has had a marked effect on costumes
of all sorts and on the general ward
robe of the average woman, says the
New York Leader.
81 am going away next summer to
have a good time" tsays the young
girl, land 1 am not going, to be both
cred with so many frills. and furbelows
and fancy dresses as / have always
had to carry about With me. l am
going to have just the SWEETEST bicycle
costume and a secondEbest for stormy
days and off occasions. assort of toilet
understudy, as 1t were. Fl am going
to have a skirt of black satin or silk
and a travelling dress; taen 1 want
some pretty waists, and suppose l alb
solutely must take ali, evening dress
or two, but two is the limit. 1 like
dancing very much better in an ordi-
nary skirt, with a pretty,.waist, and a
great many of US are of the same
mind"
And this girl voiced the sentiments
of a large number of american wom-
en-. The skirt, the fancy waist, and
the bicycle costume fill a. great many
of the needs of existence. The black
or dark skirt means a silk petticoat
and no white draperies to work about.
A tidal wave of sense about skirts
lively refused crinoline; we compro-
missed on wide skirts, with hair cloth
and paper stuffs. Now we are getting
tired of these, and. while our skirts
must have something to make them
stand out, we are cutting them shorter
for ordinary wear, and are the gamers
by it.
This necessitates extra care as to
footgear, and some of the shoes for
the coming season are works of art
1t is a shame to hide all these pretty
shoes with trailing dresses; besides,
the long skirts spoil the shoes by COW
ering them with dust and dampness,
which is fatal to fine leather -
There is another point which is less
talked about, althoughN actually the
most important of all, and that is the
sanitary effect of sweeping draperies.
Women are beginning to learn that
the dust of public streets is neither
wholesome nor safe to take home;
therefore the slightly abbreviated skirt
and handsome shoes. TX
There is already springing up a rival
ry among women as to who shall be
the best shod-that is, the most in ac-
cord with health and gracefulness-
and all of this with an eye to the fin
est materials and the best workman

with quite as much care as her dress
maker, and. in view of the present
tendency to exercise and indulge in
out-of-door sports, his mission is quite

jority Of laymen and preachers, so
either side can obstruct legislation IT
is objected to this method, that it gives
an unfair advantage to a minority, and
yet it is not equality of representation.
So it is proposed to elect as many lay
men as ministers and then abolish the
vote by orders. There seems some
probability that this move will succeed
Already it is indicated by vote of the
annual conferences that the ratio of
representation will be changed so as
to make one delegate for every sixty
five, and so make the body smaller,
which will at the same time make
room for larger number of laymen
and still not be an unwieldy body.
Sixth-Women will be admitted to
their rights, and will be given a seat
in the conference if elected. This is
the elimination of long debate, which
has been virtually settled by a vote Of
the several annual conferences, which,
by a two-thirds majority, have de-
cided for the proposed change. This,
then, will be the first general con-
ference in which women will be ad-
mftted, and on that account, if for no
other, it will be of historical interest.
Other questions of Importance will
arise, but these are reserved for an
other article. j. F. Stout.

BALDWIN BY A NECK,
California Girl Wins the Big Race at
the Cycle Show.

The most remarkable finish in a ladies'
bicycle race ever witnessed occurred at the
auditorium in the big Exposition building
last night. Helen Baldwin the game little
Californian, won the race by a margin so
narrow that only the few who stood directly
IN front of the tape were able to decide it.
The two leaders, Farnsworth and Baldwin.
began their hot work fifteen full minutes
before the time set for the finish. For
that length Of time they fought a terrific
battle, the first half being Baldwn's and
the latter half, barring the last twenty feet,
being Miss Farnsworth's. When the gong
sounded for the three laps that remained to
be ridden, the desperate riders redoubled
their eXertions. Farnsworth was in the lead
and her opponents wheel was within an inch
OF 1t until within twenty feet on the last
lap. Then, by a mighty effort and deem
er knowledge of the game, Baldwin. with
defeat staring her in the face rode I'D even
with Farnworth. When within eighteen
inches of the tape she lunged forward. and
by six or eight inches, won the race. It
was the most remarkable performance ever
witnessed on an inside track The score at
the finish was as follows:
