High street was almost impossible. Pre-
vious to the race Hans Hanson gave an ex-
hibition of fancy riding on one wheel
without a saddle. After two attempts
Hanson rode the full distance. Finally the
course was cleared and the race Of the
evening was started on the original course,
but owing to the large crowd 1t was i'm
possible for the contestants to do them
selves justice. Hanson was compelled to
ride In the electric car track and was soon
out of the race. Domino rode quite little
distance, but the spectators crowded
around him 30 that he was fioored. Will
liams finished the course, but the judges
considered that the trial was not fair one
and quietly ordered the race to be rode
over later In the evening.
When the crowd thinned out some
Maurice Frost, Roswell Stevens and Ed
gar Oldham rode In an open slow race
and finished In the order named. The
prizes for this race were a cyclometer,
fishing pole and fancy comb and brush.
The members then adjourned to the rooms
of the club, where President Herbert +.
Patt I'm few well chosen words presented
the prizes to the winners OF the road race.
After the presentation an excellent lunch
of cakes, cream and lemonade was served.
Shortly after 10 o'clock the original race
was restarted on Central street, the finish
ing mark being at the corner OF Mill street.
Tanson fell off his bicycle soon after start
J and later Domino met the same fate,
leaving Williams, who rode the full course,
the winner of the prize.

The Eyes Of the Eagle.
That the eagle has q most wonderful
| power of vision is shown from the fact
that it flies in almost straight line for
any object which 1t desires to secure. Baby
eagles also possess this farsi sightedness
Long before human eyes can discern them
their gaze Is fixed on distance, and their
| cries of welcome to their parents are shrill
and continuous The structure of their
| eyes makes them peculiarly strong. The
brightest glare of sunlight does not affect
them. Eagles do not fly as high in the air
as some other birds, but their fight is very
long and steady. A popularity about
eagles IL that they are constant to their
mates, not changing every season, as most
birds do. Sometimes the same pair of
eagles will return to the same nest year
after year. They seem to become acquaint-
ed with the locality, and II they are not
disturbed are regular tenants.-New York
Ledger.
