Copper Country.
Last evening at O'Clock entries Tor the
the big bicycle meet which is Ia take
place next Saturday at the Athletic park
under the auspices OF the Park associa-
ton were closed and il was found that
about all the speedy riders OF the county
had entered for one or more events and il
is now an assured fact that the races will
be success in every way.
The referee, judges and clerk met last
evening and numbered the riders and by
drawings gave them their positions on
| the track. They also determined TO
change the ~ mile race TO 2-mile event,
so that it will come under the rules OF the
ASSOCIATION and conform to the regular
races OF the American athletic associa-
| ton.
In the novice race the judges threw out
a couple OF entries because they had al
ready won prizes and did not properly
)me under the head OF a novice. They
also arranged the different heats.
1t will be seen on the program that all
the finals come after the second heat. 1t
was at first intended to arrange this DIFF
ferentlv, but so many OF the riders had
entered for a number ofevents that moth
ing OF advantage would be gained by 80
doing and it would not help the riders.
1t was decided to place time limit on
nearly all events and no prizes will be
awarded unless the time limit is made or
the referee decides that the riders have
done their best to make it.
The famous Fifth Regiment band will
be IN attendance and discourse music |
during the racing.

the truth OF the matter is that he Is
exclusive In the choice of friends, and
the miscellaneous aggregation Of people
he is forced TO meet at any large SOCIAL
gathering Is not to his liking. He is
a genuine student, with a love OF sat
uratng his intellect with heavy knowl-
edge, and the butterfly intelligence OF
the smart set naturally does not appeal
TO him.
This trend of his mind is clearly
shown by the work now in progress at
Biltmore Ten years ago, when he be-
gan purchasing land there, 1t was pre-
sumed that he merely wished to estao-
lish a vast game preserve more elabo-
rate even than those OF the nobility OF
England. Mr.. Vanderbilt allowed this
supposition to live for many years with
out contradicting 1t. Yet he had In
mind. and Is now working 1t out in
his own unostentatlous way, the estab-
lishment Of an almost untried science,
and II he Is successful the full measure
of that success will not be apparent I'M
til the end OF the twenty century,
two hundred years away. And In every
possible way he has arranged his I'm
ancial affairs 50 that the work will be
carried along by each succeeding gen
Grafton of students, unhampered by
lack of money or fields for experiment.
This particular science Is that OF
arboriculture. Plainly stated 1t is his
purpose to devote the same care and
study to immense tracts Of woodland
that the horiculturist gives to the train
ing OF a new variety of orchid. To
complete this study more than single
lifetime is necessary. When he passes
away only the initial steps will have
been taken, and when the next genera
ton has reached the end of its life only

This was demonstrated emphatically

SOUTH SEA DREAM.
Frisco Carpenters Wave Kissed Isle
Where There Is None but Women.

L. J.. Reinhart, ~ carpenter OF San
Francisco, Is tired OF carrying ON a
hand-to-mouth existence in America,
and is trying to raise body of men
to undertake a novel colonization
scheme. is plan Is to buy vessel,
equip It, and sail to the ST. John or
Hermit islands, in the south Pacific
ocean where mo inhabitants are left
but drsky bellies whose husbands and
brothers have been killed by cannibal
wars or taken away by conscienceless
black-birders.
Capt. Bergman of the American
steamer Bonanza recently sent the
news Of the peculiar condition OF af-
fairs on the Hermit islands. He said
that his ship was blown out OF Its
course and anchored one day close to
one of the islands. He was astonished
to see none but women on the coral
reef. for 1t was hardly more than that.
The women swan like mermaids to
the ship. They told of the condition
of affairs on the island and wanted the
captain to leave some Of his sailors.
They said they would heap on them
all the honors of darby royalty II they
would take their residence among
them.
Reinhart declares that 1t is not the
report Of the husbandless women that
has moved him to project his enter
prise. He says it is dissatisfaction
with the condition of the labor world,
and the desire TO lead peaceful exist
ence without having to struggle day
and night for bread and butter.
He wants to form a republic on CO
operative lines. He says as 1t is in
the South sea the islands support the
natives with very little work. BY
combining forces and pooling inter
essts he believes this proposed band
can have all the comforts of life with
little labor.
The scheme Is for so men TO put up
$25 each. With this money he ex-
poets to buy a schooner and provisions
for the voyage and at least a years
stay on whatever island 1t may be de-
cided to settle upon.
On first landing they will build
fort and then take possession or The
tillable ground With them they will
take seeds and fruit trees, and Rein
hart says that In few years they
ought to be exporting great quantities
of South sea island products.

the primary facts will have been
learned. The study of great tree
from It's infancy TO its full maturity Is
no lightning task, and many crops OF
these trees must be studied and expert
mented upon continually before the
science Ia exhausted.
Mr. Vanderbilt Is young man who
looks far into the future. He has per
haps pictured the hundreds of years
hence. when all powerful commerce
has wiped clean the forests OF the
world Then his completed science will
come to the rescue 1t will show the

paper for companies playing at his the
alter. There vas talk this summer of
the theaters combining to give up bill
board advertising. but it came to moth
ing at the time.
Klaw & Erlanger, proprietors of the
extravaganza, Jack and the Beanstalk,

their street displays two-thirds, have
now decided to renounce them alto

Years ago, when the city was young

ing an effective poster read by those
who ran. Now 1t is question whether
any of the hundreds of dollars spent in
this channel by managers ever attracts

saved in this way we are going to put

In explanation Of the cause OF these
prognostications IL must be understood
that w. X Vanderbilt has always as
pired TO the ownership Of a racing
stable, but out OF Difference to his
mothers wishes he relinquished his
ambition The late Mrs Vanderbilt
was always strongly opposed to horse
racing, and in her lifetime her husband
respected these views, although his
one diversion was fas: trotting horses
