PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 9-To-day
was a record breaking day at the Will
low Grove bicycle track in the trials
made by Jimmy Michael, the Welsh
wheelman, for all records from one mile
to one hour against time, paced. From
eleven miles until he crossed the line at
thirty-two miles, his time was faster
than any other worlds records for the
same distances, and from the twenty
sixth mile until he crossed the tape in
the thirty-second mile, he excelled the
American competition records held by
himself
1t was announced by the track Off
Gals that michael will try to beat
Stocks record for one hour of thirty

making 30 miles 652 yards in the sixty
minutes, but another record of 81 miles.
10S6 yards made by Stocks still stands.
Michael was in the best of form, and
demonstrated as ever his ability to hold
the strongest kind of a pace. In all
there We're thirty-six pace-makers to
urge the little fellow along.
After the first mile he gradually rode
close to the worlds record. In the

This he kept up until the nineteenth.

records in the American competition
class, and when he passed the timers at
the end Of the twenty-sixth mile. he
was ahead of his own time in the com
petition class, and away ahead of
Stocks record against time
The little Welshman kept at it, and
crossed the tape at the thirty-second
mile in 1920, making that mile in
1;57 Is. He then rode like mad to top
Stocks announced time, and when the
pistol cracked at the sixty minutes he
had ridden 80 miles and 652 yards,
bea tfng the record he was trying for
by 2O4 yards.
After resting awhile Michael made
an effort to lower his record of 1876 for
one mile made on last Thursday, but
could do no better than 1:43.

Union. Every seat in the big hall was
occupied, and the assembly was
dates as they made their appearance
on the platform We're received with
cheers.
Senator Joseph B. Foraker of Ohio
was the principal speaker. He urged
that Republican interests demanded
the election of General Tracy. He as
serted that should Judge Van Wyck be
elected his election would be heralded
all over the country as a Democratic
victory, and that as Mayor of New
York he would WELD a tremendous DO
litical power for the strengthening OF
the Democratic party in city, State
and Nation.
The Senator inveighed against Henry
George as "the exponent of the dec
larations of the Chicago platform of
1896, and the special representative
and champion of the most vicious and
pernicious declarations to be found in
that platform"
Seth Low, the Ohio Senator said, was
his personal friend but he was a free
trader, and for that reason he should
not be elected.
Senator Foraker eulogized General
Tracy as Republican, soldier and
public man.
The most remarkable thing that oc-
CURED during Mr.. Foraker's speech was
the wild cheer which broke out among
the audience when the speaker men
toned Henry George. The body of
hall was well filled with George men,
who broke out like mad at the mention
Of his name. AS the cheering was SUBJ
siding there were a few Kisses. At the
mention Of Seth Low the occupants Of
the auditorium broke out into catcalls

OKLAHOMA PARK.
A Decision Rendered by the Sec
rotary of the Interior.

rotary of the Interior.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 9.-The Secre-
tary of the Interior rendered decision
to-day affirming the action of the Gen
eral Land Office in the case of the City
of Lisbon, now Kingisher, o. t.,
against E. D. Whipple, James A. Nor
ris, Joseph Kaufman, James A. Reese,
w. D. Cornelius, VIM. Kinman, Will
liam Savage and M. Moxley, involving
Oklahoma Park, a 2711a-acre tract form
ing part of the city.
The department holds that none of
the applicants were entitled to the deeds
applied for. They had settled on diff
ferent parts Of the park during the
spring and summer Of 1889 and in 1890,
after the town had been entered for
town purposes, and applied for deeds.
Secretary Bliss makes the general
statement that it was the evident intent
of Congress to limit the acreage for
| parks and schools to twenty acres in all
toWnsites when the necessary survey of
| land embracing these were made in
| 1890 but under the Act of May IA, 1890,
| the Trustees were empowered to prove
such surveys Of land for toWnslte
purposes as may have been already
made by municipal provisional author
| tiles, and if such prior surveys show
over twenty acres the townsite plats
nevertheless will not be disturbed. In
such cases the surveys become opera :
tive on their execution and approval
when subsequently adopted by the
| townsite Trustees after entry.
! Secretary Bliss has also decided III
the case of Horace M. Adams ct al. VS..
Guthrie, o. r., affirming the Land once
! decision, that the city is entitled TO
| the deed for the land in Highland PARK
which embraces fifty acres in the cap
itol Hill townsite, a part Of the city.
