est in giving the Wheelmen the very
best that could be offered, the track
was in excellent shape for riding; in
fact, in was in better shape than ever
before. The mud holes of the 23d inst.
gave place to a smooth, hard surface
in perfect accord with the remainder
OF the track. Although the afternoon
was a bit windy, what the wheelmen
lost on the first quarter, they gained
coming down the stretch. In one or
two of the races they came down
the last quarter at running-horse
speed. The audience was not very
enthusiasts on the subject of bicycle
races, and perhaps it was better as it
was.
THE RACES.
Shortly after 2 p. M. Tom Wright
jingled the judges bell, and soon after
the contestants in the first race were
on the scene.
l. One-mile bicycle (novice). First
prize, medal; second, medal
There were IL entries in this race,
but Gorham, Ludloff and Macfarlane
were the only ones who showed up.
Ludloff led off and kept ahead to the
three-quarters. Gorham and Macfar-
lane followed in a string from the
first quarter, when the pace was slack
ened At the three-quarters Macfar-
lane took a shoot and passed his slow
going opponents. Ludloff tried to
squirt, but just as he did this he lost
his toe clips, and the race was Macfar-
lanes by quite a lead.
Time: Macfar1ane first, 2:511a.
Note: The first three-quarters were
each made in 45 seconds and the last
in 351a.
2. Half mile bicycle (handicap)
Sylvester, 80 yards; Stratemeyer, 65;
Johnson, 10; Sylvia, scratch; Damon,
Is; Martin, Is; King, 20; Walker, 25;
Giles, 25.
This was, perhaps, the prettiest race
of the day, and reflected great credit on
the winner, from the fact that he was
working all by himself and in the face
OF many obstacles, not the smallest of
which were two combinations against
him. It was said, after the race, that
the failure of the plans of the COM
binations was a sore disappointment to
the members.
The head man was Stratemeyer, and
then the others were in the positions
as given in the handicaps above. Syl-

The Textile Union met early in the

thorities of the mill would give in. A
committee was appointed to wait on
President Jacob Elsas, and demand the
removal of all negro laborers. This was
agreed to and compromise was made
by which the strikers agreed to work
extra hours if necessary. Tomorrow
the negroes will be marched out and

AGAINST EXPRESS COMPANIES

The Texas Commission Lowers Tariffs
but is Enjoined by United States
Court.
Austin, Texas, Aug. 5.-The Texas
Railway Commission was to-day served
with temporary injunction granted by
Judge Mccormick, of the Federal district
court at New Orleans, at the instance
of the Texas Express Companies, re-
straining he commission from putting
into effect its tariff on express shipments.
This tariff was issued some time ago and
went into effect to-day. The express
companies charge that it fixes express
charges at less than freight rates and
hence is ruinous to the business OF the
companies. A lively fight is contemplate
ed as the commission threatened that if
the express companies objected they
would take steps looking to forfeiture of
permits to do business in the State. The
war is now on and future developments
are awaited with interest.

A COTTON CORNER STORY.

st. Louis, Mo-, Aug. 5.-Cotton is said
to be cornered in this city and is likely
to remain so until September /, when
the official cotton year opens and the
new crops begin to move. The state
ments of the local warehouses show that
the total number of bales in storage ag-
gregate 9,6S2 bales now on hand. 5000
are held by one firm, the Allen West
Commission Company.
James II. Allen, of the latter company
when asked if there was a corner, re-
piled:
"This is the end of the cotton season
of 1896 and 1897" said he, "and spot
cotton is mighty scarce at air the lead
ing points between New Orleans and st.
Louis. We have over 1900 bales in the
warehouses and we are holding on to it,
as nearly half of that cotton is two years
old. It is we'll seasoned and then the
crop of two years ago was finer than
last years growth"
He would not admit the existence of
corner.

tone and fair words pleased his hearers.
