CONSULTING THE CLOCK.
Familiar Faces That Are Seldom Over
looked by New Workers.

Fa1n1l1ar races mat Are SeluOm oVeT-
looked by New Workers.
One of the popular habits Of the poo
pie of New York city is to consult the
clock almost on every occasion when an
opportunity is presented. 1t matters lit.
tie whether any special need requires
that consultation or not, the clock will
thus be consulted. Especially is this the
case if a particular clock has the repu-
tation Of being a good timekeeper. So
we'll is this known by many storekeep-
ers that they will place clocks in their
stores SO situated as to be easily seen by
persons who may be passing a'ong the
adjacent sidewalk. If the clock has q
good reputation, and the pedestrian is
fortunate enough to carry a watch, a
comparison is almost sure to be made.
Many times a clock with a good repu-
tation placed in the back part of q store
becomes a protection thereof, especially
at night. if near it is located a light
strong enough to illuminate it's face and
show the time. A policeman told q re-
porter the other day that a good clock
thus situated is better than a private
Waterman for a jewelry store, as every
belated passerby is likely to look through
the store to see what time it Is, and
would be almost certain to notice my
thing unusual in the appearance Of the
place. 1t therefore becomes Indirectly q
silent Waterman guarding the premises
against the depredations Of burglars and
makes the pedestrians, as it were, as
sistants in the work.
Church clocks have always had D
large number Of patrons in the work Of
consultation, and nothing seems to be so
annoying as to find such a clock mac
tive. When an event Of this character
occurs, especially if the church is located
en- or near a busy thoroughfare, the
fact of the clock being stopped, or that
some defect appears to exist, is often
made the subject of a notice in the daily
papers. Especially was this the case
when the steeple Of old st. Paul's was
recently undergoing renovation, and it
was a joy 20 many on noticing that the
newly gilded hands of the clock were
again travelling along their accustomed
circuit and the deep toned bell was
ready to strike the hour once ulUre.-

KISER THE STAR.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Aug. 9.-The
greatest race meet In the history OF
American cycling came To an end Sat-
urday evening at the Willow Grove
Park, when the 18th national meeting
OF the League OF American Wheelmen
closed. In attendance there has never
been a national or local race meet that
has ever approached IL. During the two
days of racing nearly $4,000 persons wit
messed the cracks from all parts of the
United States, two from Mexico and
the Canadian crack. Loughead, try for
fame and prizes. Fridays attendance
of $1,000 was very nearly doubled Satur-
day with an attendance OF between 25,-
600 and 27,000. In the particular racing,
all the circuit chasers showed them
selves to be in fine form, which resulted
in the closest, prettiest and most strate-
gic competition that has been witnessed
in long time.
Fred l.. Loughead, the Sarnia, Ont,
lad, who carried off the honors Friday,
kept up his fine work, but little Earl
Kiser landed on top, winning the half
mile professional and the great mile
open professional. A purse of $500 was
divided among the winners of the latter
race. Eddie Bald also added TO his rep
utation, and while no firsts apEear to
his credit, yet his seconds in the mile
open and five-mile professional finals
were within hairs breadth OF being
first. In every race in which he COM
peted he displayed remarkable judg-
ment.
Major Taylor, the colored crack, was
hot favorite IN the mite open heat,
which was won by him, and finished in
grand style.
For a while IL looked as though he
would be the winner of the final, but
the others proved too fast for him, and
the best the Major could do was TO land
a very close fourth.
Among the amateurs there was much
good racing and Peabody. Eddie Lew
ellyn and Charles NJ. Ertz put up the
finest exhibition. In most OF the anna
teur events the riding was close and In
but few instances did the boys show
any evidence of loafing.
After the scheduled events had been
run off, Fred Schade. the Virginia anna
teur, succeeded in breaking the world $
record for one-third of a mile. Schade
was paced by two quads. and got away
beautifully. He hugged the quads
closely and finished i'm "A terrific pace in
81 3-5 seconds. lowering Porters record
of "a 1-5 seconds made in 1894.
In addition to this there was num-
ber of trials at the worlds record for
cne mile amateur end professional.
Church covered the three laps in 1:43
3-5. and but for the second pacing
teams slowness would have chopped at
least two seconds off the time he made.
Major Taylor had the next try with
a quad and triplet as pacemakers. The
Major crossed the tape in las 3-5.
Johnny Zimmerman rode an exhibition
half mile in SO 2-5 seconds. and Ar
thur Gardiner, paced by quads, did a
mile in l:44. This brought the racing
to a close.

crowded with spectators, all eager to
see the famous rider.
In his record trial he was paced by
the Morgan a. Wright team OF profess
sional riders.
A quad and two trplets were used. the
sextet not being used on account OF not
being able to secure extra pacemakers.
He was firmly tackled on behind the
quad at the pistol shot, and they rode

mile was clocked in 1856.
The final speed burst was made by the
quad, and tho blue riders merely kept
Michael going at his stride, with Just
