Interest in cycle racing is greatly on
the increase, if the attendance at the
race meets held so far this year is any
criterion. The state meet at Racine
July l will be no exception, as it is the
only National Circuit event in Wiscon-
sin this year.

j. E. Malone, the champion of the
world, and Peter Schmitt, at Sugden's
parlors in Racine, wound up Friday

at present more or less torn up on &C
count of the laying of the gas pipes, but

the title Zimmerman held the sceptre
undisputed during 1894 and 1895 and it

cagO. All those who can testify to

depot, was tried at Racine Friday,
charged with sodomy, and sentenced to
three years in the state prison. There

similar crime, is such as to cause some

of the L. A. w. will be held in the
west sometime this summer, probably
at Racine during the races there. The
" secesh" movement in the far west
has amounted to nothing and is not
likely to be noticed officially. Good

of Milwaukee, is the national chairman
of the highway committee of the L.
A. W.
