A DESPERATE RACE.
The Finish Of the Twenty-four Hours
NJ Was Pitiful in It's Misery.

"A cycle race for twenty-four hours,
the first Of It's kind in America, was held
in Chicago last week. The finish was
made Saturday night and amid the
plaudits Of 10000 people Louis Gimm
was the winner. He got $500 in cash and
an American record, aside from the glo-
ry which his feat will give him among
racing enthusiasts. But here is the
story of what Gimm paid for the insig
nificant honors: Gimm's finish was one
of the most pitiful sights that was ever
beheld on race track, says a Chicago
paper. The man seemed q physical
wreck, his mind even not being clear.
He was too weary to observe anything,
his eyes were CLASSY and his form limp.
He could not sit straight in the saddle.
In vain did the crowd call to him to bear
UP. The entreaties of the judges to ride
erect were directed to deaf ears. In face
and figure he seemed corpse-like. and,
were It not for the mechanical move-
ments Of his limbs, there was not q spec
stator in the yast crowd who would have

running races during the Los nAgeles
meeting and Dan Tuttle. the assistant
of Richard Hovey. the Ingleside starter,

machines which will be erected at Agri-

the trainers in Southern California an op-
portunity to educate their horses so as not
to be at a Disadvantage when the northern

An effort was made to secure Eddie
Jones to ride in the Los Angeles derby
next Monday, but Col. Dan Burns could
not spare the crack little jockey to make
the trip. There will be no dearth of good
jockeys, however. as several of the best
boys now in this part of the state are go

There are now five Republican and
five Democratic boilers. Blackburn

that he use his influence for the par

as he pleased cost the party enough
votes in the succeeding election to
defeat the nominee, if his speeches in

I'd that result. AS the secretary thinks

that the Monroe Doctrine is not a
law, that it binds us to no action, but
that it was policy devised to meet a
particular case, and therefore wholly
inapplicable to the Venezuelan diff

(2) "Lord Salisbury and the Mon
roe Doctrine" by Hon. Oscar S.
Straus, ex-United States Minister to
Turkey. Mr.. Straus blames Lord
Salisbury for refusing to submit the
disputed territory to arbitration, con-
tends that the Monroe Doctrine is as
important an instrument in the his
tory of our country as are the Decla-
ration of Independence and Washing
tons Farewell Address. He declares
that two principles have always

down by Washington and the Monroe
Doctrine, and that the Monroe Doc.
trine applies most emphatically to
the Venezuelan controversy.
81 "The Duty of Congress" by Mr..
Isaac L. Rice, well-known lawyer
OF New York who has made lifelong
study of constitutional and inter
national law, and who contends that
the Monroe Doctrine is absolutely in
applicable to the Venezuelan dispute,
severely censures the President for
what he considers the unnecessarily
bellicose tone of his message, and
points out what he believes to be the
plain duty of Congress in the matter.
