French and German Rivalry In the

forging their way around the track. The
frightful pace set by the leaders on Men

well. OF tho dozen and half who were
still straining every nerve to win fame and
money there VIII probably he only twelve

RiSierre's heels, We're all in first-class
shape and from this bunch 10 would be
hard TO pick the winner. The rivalry be-
tween the French and German riders Is
one of the curious features OF this con-
test. Schinner. Miller and Waller. when
on the track together, always encourage
each other and mako com bined efforts 20
get the better Of Riyierre and Stephane,
while the Frenchmen coach each other in
their native tongue. Waller, although
he has made spasmodic efforts 10 regain
the lead, Is not consi ierad to DO "a serious
factor in the race. Hale, VINO probably
receives more applause than any other
contestant, plods along with terrific
energy. but seems unable To make any
perceptible gain upon the leaders. lie

Miller. Rice, the Wilkesbarre boy,

BILL DISMISSED.
Whitney Loses c Sc Against Ma.

Wanted Accounting For Sale Of Hotel

Judge Brown hande down decision
this morning in the United States circuit
court IN the equity case of Nathan Whit
ney vs. the National Exchange bank of
NewDort 1he complainant, Whitney.
rs holder OF fifth mort gage on the
Hygio hotel at Block Island, prays that
the respondent bank. an elder mortgagee
account for "A surplus arising upon sale mt
auction by the bank of the hotel named
under "a fourth mortgage.
At the sale the property was offered by
the auctioneer, subject TO three prior
mortgages, the amount whereof was not
stated. Upon single bid OF $1,000. the
property was declared sold to one Millikin
as agent for the bank. The bank has not
perfected papeer title under this sale
anu denies that Millikin's bid is binding
upon the bank because of lack OF author
ity. Judge Brown holds that the evil
dence of Millkin's lack of authority TO
bind the bank TO the amount OF $1,000 is
clear.
To sustain the bill OF complaint the
Judge holds would be al act of great in
justice To the respondent bank. For the
unauthorized act of its special agent, re-
sulting from a mistake, without any
proven damage TO sthe complainant, the
RESPONDENT. in addition TO its own loss as
a prior mortgagee, would TIC compelled TO
pay large sums which the 0mplainant on
no principle of equity or justice is entitled
TO receive.

Yes; that is partly the case
But. Mr.. Kenyon, the success of your

Kenyon flushed as she said this, but
made no reply.
The coachman looked round as he
came to Holborn, and Miss Longworth
nodded to him, so he went on, without
stopping, up into Oxford street

and then told his visitor abruptly that
the scheme did not commend itself to
him.
John KENYON walked along Cheap
side feeling very much downhearted
over his rebuff with Longworth. The
pretended forgetfulness of the young
man. of course. he took at its proper
value. He, nevertheless. felt very sorry
the interview had been so futile. and in
stead Of going back to Wentworth and
telling him his experience he thought
it best 20 walk off n little of his disap-
pointment first. He was somewhat
startled when a man accosted him and
glancing up. he saw standing there 4
tall footman, arrayed in 4 gray coat
that came down to his heels.
Il beg your pardon, sir" said the foot
man, but Miss Longworth would like
to speak to you"
Miss Longworth." said Kenyon, in
surprise Where is she?''
She is here in her carriage. sir
The carriage had drawn up beside the
pavement, and John Kenyon looked
round in confusion to see that Miss
Lougworth was regarding him and the
foOtman with an amused air. An eld-
.rly woman sat in the carriage opposite
her, while 4 grave and dignified coach
man. attired somewhat similarly to the
footman. kept his place like a seated
statue in front. John Kenyon took off his
hat as nc approached the young wom-
an, whom he had not seen since the last
day on the steamer.
How are you. Mr.. Kenyon" said
Edith Longworth, brightly, holding out
her hand to the young man by her car
riage. Will you not step IN? want
to talk to you, and am afraid the police
will not allow us to block such a crowd
ed thoroughfare as Cheapside.'
AS she said this the nimble footman
threw open the door of the carriage,
while John, not knowing what to say.
stepped inside and took his seat.
''Hilborn," said the young woman to
the coachman; then, turning to Ken
yon. she continued: VIII you not tell
me where you are going. so that may
know where to set you down.

there is something wrong with the

There is really very little to tell
We have hardly begun yet. Wentworth
is to-day looking over the figures
gave him. and 1 have been making a be
ginning by seeing some people who,
thought, might be interested in the
mine"
And were they?"
NO; they were not"
Then that was the reason you were
looking so distressed"

"Well, now, Mr. Kenyon. if you get
discouraged after an interview with the
