In the fourth mile Williams, Hess
and Phillip had q collision, which
threw them all without injury.
At the end of the fifth mile Barth
dropped out, as the boys race was for
only five miles. He won first prize in
the boys race and the second prize
was given to Wallace Fry, who, as
little as he was, made q fine run for
two miles, but was compelled to give
1t up as the boys against him were too
large and strong.
There were several of the boys who
dropped out in the ninth mile and q
hot finish was expected, but Summers
and Erskine, who were looked upon
as the "cracks," fought for the pace
and fell way behind, and or making
the turn at the start for the tenth mile
Erskine few the track and Summers
spurted and finished fourth.
Erskine says that he thought the
race was over when he went off the
track. 1t Is to be regretted that the
mistake, or misfortune, happened, as
the last mile between Summers and
Erskine would have been a blood
warmer, as both men are without
doubt fast riders.
Elliott, who had been sick all day,
was compelled to quit in the middle
of the race, or he would have been
right at the first when the finish was
made.
There were only three winners
named by Judges Chas. Buckner, ].
At. Brown and q. F. Shireman. It is
thought that the prizes will be given
up to and including No. g..

ner Of the Great Bicycle Race
A Big Crowd Present.

At 6:45 O'Clock Friday night there
was q large crowd in the amphitheatre
at the fair ground to witness the ten
mile cycle race over the mile track.
It lie well to mention at this place that
the Aforesaid large crowd did not stay
where they belonged-in the amphi-
theatre-but gradually sifted across
the track and were the means OF
eventually causing but three men to
finish officially. They were Stanley
Hooker, of C~entralia, first; David
Montgomery, Of C~entralia, second;
and Hamilton Mckinley, Of Mexico,
third. Hocker's time for the ten miles
was 35 minutes and % seconds.
On account Of the immense crowd
on the track at the finish the judges
were utterly unable to Q correctly
who finished after the first three and
because of this the other men could
not be officially placed. But a LED
GER reporter caught the remainder OF
the finish, which was as follows:

fourth; Ed. Hess, of Mexico, fifth;

The CIiaues and Clans.

The Glasgow Missouriaa says: "The
cliques and clans that some folks
seem to delight in organizing in towns
like Glasgow " to be deplored. You
often hear young people say: Il don't
associate with that set; it is too COM
mon. What miserable rot this SHOW
I'M inerican, how unpatriotic and
un- Christian. No one,no matter how
rich or how well born, is better than q
person who is obliged to subsist by
the sweat of his brow. There Is q
dignity about labor that wealth can
not buy. The coat does not make the
man; money cannot buy brains and
culture. so how supremeiy ridicu-
lous to bar people from the social CIR
Gle because they r poor. Truly well
bred and cultured people look with
the most profound contempt upon
snobbery in every shape and form"
