Progress of the Expedition Against
the Emir of Nupe.

LONDON, Jan. 31-A telegram from
Egbom, IN the middle Niger region,
dated Jan. %, says that the column of
the Royal Niger company's expedition
against the emir of Nupe arrived in
good order after a seventeen days
march Of 200 miles. The men were ait
times compelled to march single file
through the bush. The power Of the
Fulahs in the regions Of the South
Niger river has been utterly destroyed.
The aotilla and detachment accom-
panying the expedition surprised and
destroyed the Southern FuIah capital
of Ladi. This town was a depot for
stores, and the Fulahs were retreating
in that section when it was captured.
Twelve hundred slaves were rescued.
Nest Of these slaves were elderly men,
all the women and the children Of both
sexes having been sent to the capital
at Bida.
A recent telegram from Lagos gives
an account of the expedition sent out
by the Royal Niger company This ex-
pedition consisted of 500 Hausa troops,
6 maxims, rs mounted European Off
GERS and 900 carriers. Sir George Col
die, the governor, accompanied the
column. The Royal Niger company's
hOtilla Of armed stern wheeler steam
ers was ordered to patrol the Niger for
the purpose Of cutting off the retreat
of the Fulah forces.

Fast and Slow Time at
Agricultural Park
PROFESSIONALS WERE SLOW
-FOUR ATTEMPTS TO MAKE A TIME
LIMIT OF 2.25
Amateurs Ride Fast Mile-The Team
Race Resolves Itself Into
Walkover

If any of the 1900 people who cele-
brated Admission day by going to the
bicycle races at Agricultural park yes
terday afternoon We're disappointed in
the sport they witnessed it was certainly
not the fault of the manager of the races,
for as good a card was presented to the
lovers of that kind of sport as has been
had here in any similar event. The races
were not altogether without some disap-
pointing features, but these consisted
mostly in the failure of some of the riders
to make the distance within the time
limits and one of the races had to be
declared off on this account Instead of
making the program dull this added to
the interest of the event, because the
several trials to come within the limit
furnished practically three additional
races There We're no walk-overS, no
runaways, and at the start in none of the
events could the winner be guessed, eX-
cept by accident. Each of the races
brought out a large field and in most of
the events it was the field which won,
while the favorites were only able to
secure a place or to show.
There were eight races on the program
and the additional heats increased these
to eleven. The ns'heS were close in all
of them, no winner crossing the tape
more than two lengths in advance of the
second man, and in some of the races the
riders were so closely punched at the
finish as to make it difficult for the
judges to decide just who had won. The
events of the day were not marred by
any serious accidents, there being only
one spill, in which two riders went down,
but neither was incapacitated from en-
tering later events.
Strange as it may seem. the novice and
amateurs made much the best showing
not only in the finishes, but also in the
time made for the distance in which they
rode. AS is frequently the case at such
meets there was entirely too much
jockey work among the professionals,
their main efforts being directed to Sc
curing positions for the final jump and
not to riding from the pistol shot. They
were the losers by this. however, for the
referee knew his business and could not
be buncoed into allowing them to walk
away with prizes after riding in inexcu-
sably slow time.
The Herald cup was won for the third
time by the team representing the East
Side Cycle club, and is therefore the
property of that organization. There
was no contest for this prize, as the other
cycling clubs We're handicapped by the
two previous victories of the East Side
club and the chances were therefore two
to one against the victory of any other
team. The team which went after this
trophy put up good race, however al
though it was only necessary for them to
ride over the distance, five miles.
NOVICE RACE
The one mile novice race was the first
event on the program, and in it eleven
riders faced the starter. George Proctor
