particularly looked after, and ample provis-
ion has been made to maintain good order.
Some idea of the kind of race this is to be
will be had from reading the records of the
racers who are entered:
Helen Baldwin has been professional bicy-
Gle rider for the past six years During that
time she has participated in races in all the
leading cities of the country She was the
winner last year at Aurora park, in this city,
of the first six-day race by ladies on safeties
In the eighteen hours of racing time she COW
cred 27724 miles, defeating frankie Nelson by
a close margin after very hard struggle.
She won third money in Minneapolis last Au-
gust, and covered 284 miles in the eighteen
hours. In January Of the present year she
won second money In twenty-six-hour race
frankie Nelson beat her by only six inches
The distance covered was 41S% miles, At
Chicago recently Miss Baldwin covered 342 1-3
miles in eighteen hours, but, good this
record was, she only secured third prize. AT
the big cycle show in Minneapolis Baldwin
went over the wire winner by so close a mar
gin that Miss Farnsworth protested the de-
cision. The time was twelve hours, same con-
ditions as will prevail in the race here, and
the distance covered was 2S11a miles,
Dottie Farnsworth made her first appearance
in a race at Minneapolis during Christmas
week Of last year. 1t was a straightaway
race, three hours daily and she won it, cover
ing 319 1-5 miles. This is the best record for
a race of that kind. Miss Farnsworth won
second money at Chicago last January. Her
score was 3441s miles for eighteen hours, two
hours in the afternoon and one in the even
ing. In February, at Minneapolis she rode
239k miles in twelve hours, two hours day.
Her last race was the one mentioned above
when she was beaten by Baldwin, or, rather,
made it dead heat at the finish, as she
claims. Like her swift rival, Farnsworth i'm
proves with every race in which she enters.
Miss May Allen has been contestant in
races in England as well as in this country.
In Liverpool, Pittsburg, Chicago, Detroit and
New York she has proved worthy competitor
for the best riders in the land. She is good
enough to be one, two, three against any group
of riders, and has never been worse than fifth
in large field.
Misses Peterson and Hokenson were second
and third when Farnsworth proved the victor
| at Minneapolis in December last. That was
| their first appearance, and since then both
have steadily improved. In the Minneapolis
race, it will be remembered ali records were
broken for eighteen hours. These ladies en-
gagged in the race during the cycle show, but
! illness prevented them making very good
| record.
| Of Miss Allarde's ability little is known,
| beyond the fact that her friends promise she
is good enough to travel in the fastest COM
pany.

WITH THE BOXERS.

The Eureka Athletic club, of Long Island
City, win be the next in the field with a
boxing entertainment. One week from last
night four bouts will be presented in the arena
of that club, chief of which will be twenty

st. Paul, and Johnny" Lavack, of Cleve-
land The winner of this bout will be matched
to fight George Dixon, featherweight champion
of the world.
Peter Maher and Frank Slavin have been
matched to fight before the Eureka club, Long
Island, on May 20 for a. purse of Sc, 900, 81 ZOO
to go to the loser.
Frank Bosworth, the ex-trainer Of Bob
FitzsiIGmons, is to meet kid" Mccoy at
Memphis Tuesday. Mccoy and Jimmy Ryan,
of Cincinnati will meet May f.
Bob Fitzsimmons, by persisting in his re-
fusal to accept the challenge issued by jim
Corbett, is taking the proper course to rein
state the latter in the position of champion,
without fight for the honor, as the, auburn
haired slugger from the Antipodes cannot de-
cline to make match with the Californian
without forfeiting to him the title that he so
easily won in Mexico.-Clipper.

Tomorrow evening at $3.50 six lady bicyc-
lists, among them the fastest in the country,
will be sent away in the six-day race. They
will not only be racing for $500 in cash, but
for championship honors as well. The rec
ord for this style of race twelve hours, two
hours per day, is held by Miss Mate Chris
topher. She covered 239 As miles when the
record was made, and Farnsworth was only
three laps behind. Both Baldwin and Farms
worth ambitious to surpass the mark set
by Christopher, and the recent wrangle in
Minneapolis will serve to spur them to
greater effort.
Last night the elevated track was finished
and three of the contestants took spin over
1t. All of the contestants will be at the Audi
torium practicing on Monday. 1t takes some
time to get the lay of new track, and
several half-hour spurts will be taken by
the ladies. Miss Allarde will be in the group
Monday, and until she goes on the track no
one will be able to tell what she may be
capable of. Each of the ladies entered is re-
ported in good condition and prepared to
make a great race for the money and the
honors.
Several of the local bicycle clubs will go
to the Auditorium in a body tomorrow night
as the guests of the management. Previous
to the start of the race the band will give
a short concert of. select numbers. The COM

little to be desired, and the same can be said
about his neck Coming to his head, 1t was

PATENTS BY HUNDREDS.
Men Working on Many Bicycle In

The interest in the wheel is not confined
to its mere use alone. Persons want to know
all about the bicycle it's construction, its
various parts and the Improvements appear

devices, however, numerous that it is
difficult for man to keep track of them.
Filling tire with bran is the latest means
of making temporary repairs Of punctures.
A short time ago a wheelman while out on
the road ran into a lot of thorns. They
punctured his tire so badly that it would re-
Quire several hours to repair it.
A farmer who saw the wheelmans di-
lemma conceived the idea of repairing the
tire in. a unique manner. He simply filled
the tire with bran. 1t was not quite as

Inventors who turn their attention to put

they fall far short of their aims. The hu-

We Told You So.

hen the new Presbyterian church
on the corner of Fourth and Adams
streets was contemplated, the writer
took occasion to advise the promoters
OF that enterprise that the new edi-
flee should he set back towards the
rear OF the lot, for various reasons.
Not only was there then, as now, a
likelihood that Fourth street would
be ultimately widened between Jetier-

voted to religious service would be

church-going friends may ask.
Well, perhaps not much of any
thing very serious, only it is in every
body's eyes that the front steps Of
that beautiful editice, and the landing
at the front entrance, has become a
night resort for loungers who want to
sit down in the glare of the electric

thing else, and spit tobacco Juice on

sentimental youths and maidens as
find it convenient resting place in
the Silly hours of night. Great glar-
ing tobacco stains should certainly
not desecrate the steps and front ap-
proaches of building erected for the
purposes of temple. 1t is not for us
to tell our friends how this evil may
be corrected, we are only calling at
tention to things as they exist.
The church wardens can hire a
special policeman to sit on the land
ing every night, and that would ef-
fectually protect the property, though
we suppose. it would be rather an ex-
pensive alternative for young and
struggling church society.
Silly lovers would not be very
likely to spit tobacco juice on the
steps while billing and cooling on the
landing, but they might be led to
scratch their names, or erotic senti-
ments, on the brightly painted panel

fectly natural, for all grown people are
addicted to the same things, away

STATE CoNvENTIoNs.-The influence
OF the goldbug "sinews" is becoming
apparent, even this early in the con-
test, and it seems that Chairman
Bulger, of the Populist party has been
worked by McGraw and Wilson, and
induced to issue call for the State
Convention on a date when it is hoped
that the silver forces cannot mass
their forces for fusion. The call pro
poses Ellensburg as the place and
August 18th as the time for holding
the Populist State Convention. Chair
man Drum, Secretary Maloney and
John Collins, of Seattle, we're, last
Saturday, authorized by the Demo-
cratic State Central Committee to fix
the time and place for holding the
Democratic State Convention, and
this will be done soon as the matter
of time and place fixed upon by the
Populists is definitely determined.
The County Committee were in
structed by the State Committee to
Immediately issue a call for conven-
tons to elect delegates to the State
Convention and hold themselves
in readiness to respond whenever
called. Considerable bitterness ex-
lists among the Populists in Seattle
and Tacoma, regarding the supposed
interference from the goldbug mana
gers, and condemnation of Chairman
Bulger is frequently heard.

Grams. These figures show the nom
partisan character Of the convention,
or rather the absorbing importance
given 10y them to the issue Of remone-
tization OF silver. In an address &" To
the American people" the convention
urges everybody to unite with them
on this ticket, "as the sole hope OF
escaping the rigors OF Il grinding mo-
nopoly."
The Populists passed several days of
wrAngllng, not from any antipathy to
Mr.. Bryan, nor indeed to Mr.. Sewell
as an upright representative OF the
principles to be subserved, but simply
to effect some arrangement that would
give assurance of perpetuation of
their party organization. Bryan was
endorsed with hurrah, the vote
standing 1912 to 32l, after a line of
action which it is thought will sub
serve that policy, had been planned
and adopted. This was to select from
their own party a candidate for the
Vice Presidency. Under this agree
ment, Thomas f. Watson. of Georgia,
was nominated. He represents the
Middle.of-the road Populists.
1t is unfortunate that the Populists
could not have arisen, for this occa-
sion, above party, which is at best,
only a means OF attaining the highest
results OF free government, and have
done as the silver party did, with pre-
cisely the same object in view. This
would have eliminated all doubt OF
the final result, as any uncertainty
which may exist is not based upon a
want of confidence in numerical
strength ample to overcome all obsta-
Giles, but on the complications which
may arise in operating the cumbersome
machinery TO make the popular will
effective.
Mr.. Watson may be very able and
commendable man, but his nomina-
ton must necessarily hamper the &C.
ton of the hosts of silver. and if their
victory is not complete, it will be ow-
ing to the inability of poor frail hu-
mainly to sacrifice selfish interests for
the higher promptings of patriotism.
The goldbugs rejoice over this act of
the Middle-of-the-road Populists.
They laugh in glee whenever they can
make use of such convenient cats
paw, and We cannot help thinking
that the cat is foolish to submit itself
to an ordeal that must be painful even
though it may not innict lasting in
jury-on the cat.
