Intercst i'm the Great bicycle Contest
at Madison Square Aroused to

NEW YORK, December THE great six
day bicycle contest at Mad son Sauare Gar
den has affOl ded a succession of curprises
almost from the moment of starting, but
the way in which records have been smash
ed every hour has been vertable nine
days" wonder. No enc would have been
surprised TO see the figure for the twenty
four hour record i'll a six days race in
creased by ten or even twenty miles; but
to pass it by more than half century was
not within reasonable imagination. Yet
Waller had accomplished this feat at mid
night and now holds the record for the
twenty four hours by 81 miles and three
laps. More than half dozen of tine other
riders have eclipsed Hale's figures OF last
year, and by good margins.
When the first few spectators began to
gather around the track today they found
only twenty riders instead of the thirty-sIx
who started in the six days race. The
pace set by the leaders had told quickly,
and many men. known stayers, were
glad to quit. Those who still pIodded along
seemed in fairly good condition. although
the strain is evident OH the mems faces,
ii not in their speed. No serious accidents
have married the race SO far except In the
case of roster, who was compelled tC quit
early yesterday on account Of his BAD spill.
Smith, the Saratoga rider, retired shortly
after midnight i'll none TOO good physical
condition. 1t was rumored al first that he
HAD been stricken with paralysis, but after
ward it was aScertained that he was only
suffering from dysentery. Among the
others who quit during the night anG early
morning were Barnaby. Blakesee, Mcleod
and Reading. The last named is the plucky
soldier who holds the record for sitting 10
miles in the saddle without dlsmouuting

Itself along. the old horse was forced to
carry Brown on its back. While passing
along ID street near 9th street the rider de-

the best II could but it is alleged that
Brown drew from his pocket a knife with
long blade ard viciously stabbed the an
imal III the right side, infiicting a deeD
cash about six inches in length. The horse
shuddered but was rot able to increase its
speed.
A little boy who witnessed the act of
cruelty Mastered off in quest of a police
man. He found Policeman Owens, and re-
cited the details of what had occurred.
The officer promptly placed Brown under
arrest, and took possession of the knife
with which the wound was inflicted.
Both the man and the horse were led to

HISTORICAL SOCIETY.
The Public School System and Other
Topics Discussed.

Topics Discussed.
The regular monthly meeting of the Co
lumbia Historical Society, held last evening
in the banquet hall of the Shoreham was
well attended, and the proceedings were of
great interest. In the absence of Mr.. John
A. Kasson, the president Judge Hagner
presided. Messrs. William Birney, Henry
Blocker and Miss Huddleston were elected
to membership
Mr.. w. B. Powell, District superintendent
of schools, made an address on "A Decade
of the Public Schools" which, he said, was
a supplement of the admirable paper read
before the society at a former meeting, by
Mr.. J. Ormond Wilson, his pre1ecesso as
superintendent. Z Wilson had given an
historical sketch of the public school sys-
tenn for the first eighty years, and Mr.
POWELL, in his address last evening, told of
the progress made by the schools during
the past decade or. as he explained, liz.
past twelve years. This portion of the adj
dress was largely taken up with figures
which, however, were not merely statistics
but were clothed with the significance of
their relations to the practical execution
OF theory of education which as Mr.
Powell expressed it, it is the aim to carry
cut.
While those figures showed gratifying
increase in the number of school buildings
and in the facilities for CARRYING on tSn
work, yet. perhaps, the audience were
more Interested in the explanation OF how
the education, as given in the public
schools. was founded on experience. Mr..
Powell stated that the old-time mechanical
n ethods of impartirg knowledge had given
way to what was believed to be a moro
rational plan of enabling the child to get
information through object teaching-about
plant life, for example, and then in seeing
now THIS knowledge is put into written
language; IN tins way acquiring training
OF writing and spelling without going
through the drudgery
Following this address there was a dis
cussfon, participated in by members of the
society, on sources of historical informa-
tion, and brief remarks were made by Mr.
A. X. Spofford. Mr.. NJ. /. Weller, Mr.. W
B. Bryan, Mr.. George Alfred Townsend

GRADE CROSSINGS DISCUSSED.
Conference Today Between RAILWAY
Officials and COmmissioncrs

President Samuel Spencer and Chief En-
gineer c. Fl. Hudson of the Southern Rail-
way Company, President II. f. ingalls, of
the Chesapeake and Ohio, President Frank
Thomson, Chief Engineer William H.
Brown and Mr.. John Cassells. counsel. of
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company. with
Harry Walters, president of the Atlantic
Coast Line, held a lengthy conference to-
day with Acting President Wight and En-
gineer Commissioner Black of the board of
District Commissioners, in reference to
railroad matters in which the parties mem
TONED are interested in this CITY,
Alter the conference was ended the an
nouncement was authorized by the Com
mlssioners that plans for abolishing grade
crossings and providing enlarged passenger
and freight terminal facilities were dis
cussed. Since the former conferences on
the part of the Pennsylvania Railroad
company ard the Commissioners the three
large roads bringing into this city so much
OF the passenger and freight business the
southern, the Chesapeake and Ohio and the
Atlantic Coast Line, have come into the
proposed arrangement, which necessarily
enlarSes the whole plan very materially
and makes this further conference neces-
sary and matter Of very great impor-
tance.
In the discussion today the railroads and
the commissioners seemed to be pretty
close together on all the essential DointS
ana there is a fair prospect of the CITY
having In the near future a magnificent
passenger station and improved freight IA
cihties, which will accommodate the fast
growing business of this city.

OF procuring fur from the animals for the
purpose Of maintaining the life of man in

speak against the equally cruel and useless
practlce or sacrificing animals to the yani-

OF little animals are annually killed merely

wealthy women, whose riches are often
computed by the number of sable or mar
