RICH STAKES FOR sooRcHERs.
A Purse of Over 81 900 for the Win
ner of the Quill Club Handicap.

New York. Sept. 4.-The second and ma
tional circuit race meet of the Quill Club
Wheelmen began this afternoon at the
Manhattan Beach track and will be con-
Guided on Monday evening.
The principal attraction this year is the
big handicap at two miles for profession
ais, in which the prizes in the aggregate
amount TO $1,000, and the winner will de-
rive a little over $1,000. Thirty-seven of
the best professional riders in the coun-
try are entered for this event, the trial
heats of which were run off this after
noon. The first five men in each of the
trial heats qualified for the final, which
will be decided on Monday. Just before
the first trial was started a twine was
strung from the grand stand to the judges
box and from it four channels bags were
suspended. The~ contained the first and
second, third and fourth prizes, made up
of $50 gold pieces and they remained there
until the third heat had been decided
The men who qualified for final are:
Bald, Callahan. Kimble, Mcfarland,
Aker, Titus, Gardiner, Coleman, Steen-
son, Jefferson, Mosher, Lee White, Beck
er and Miller. These fifteen will race in
one heat Monday afternoon. Earl Kiser
of Dayton, o., was unable 10 take part
in this race, as he is suffering from a boil
over his right eye. Walter Sanger of
Milwaukee started in the third heat from
scratch, but he was badly pocketed in the
last lap and could not get through in time
to qualify.

GOLD IN THE WHITE MOUNTAINS.
Tale of Search Made Many Years
Ago.
From Among the Clouds.

From Among the Clouds.
Hunting for gold has had its devotees in
every age and country, and many years
ago, before the geologist had discovered
that it was impossible to find the precious
metal in a region having the rock forma-
ton of the White mountains, there were
people foolish enough to devote their time
to getting suddenly rich by discovering
gold hidden away in some rock or crevice.
Ethan Allen Crawford in the history of
the White mountains, written by his wife,
tells how his father, Abel Crawford, pi-
loted a party on such an expedition:
II have been up and down all the slides
of any magnitude, and have taken pains
to find out if there were any minerals of
value there, but have never as yet found
any of consequence. 1t has been suppos-
ed by some that there were valuable mines
somewhere about the mountains. l have
searched for these also. but found none /
reco.lect a number OF years ago, when
quite boy, some persons had been up on
the hills and said they had found a gold
en- treasure, or carbuncle, which they said
was under a large shelving rock, and
would be difficult to obtain, for they might
fall and be dashed to pieces. Moreover,
they thought it was guarded by an evil
spirit, supposing that it had been placed
there by the Indians, and that they had
killed one OF their number and left him
to guard the treasure, which some cred
ulous, superstitious persons believed, and
they got my father to engage to 20 and
search for it. Providing themselves with
everything necessary for the business, and
a sufficient number of good men and a
minister well qualified to lay the evil spirit,
they set out in good earnest and high spir-
It's, anticipating with pleasure how rich
they should be coming home laden with
gold; that is, If they should have the good
luck to find it. They set out and went up
Dry river, and had hard work to find their
way through the thickets and over the
hills. where they made diligent search for
q number of days, with some of the for
ner men spoken of for guides. but they
could not find the place again, or anything
that seemed to be like IL. and worn out
with fatigue and disappointment. they re-
turned. Never since. to my knowledge
has any one found that wonderful place
again. or been troubled with mountain
spirits"
