JEWELRY


We started In business twenty-one years
ago. We started with the belief that jew
elry profits were too large-would yearly
grow smaller and smaller by competition
and that thef firm hat led in this reduction,
and confined it's dealings to honest, reliable
goods, would eventually get the bulk of the
jewelry business in this city. We lave
persistently followed this policy for twenty
one years. We can sell you to-day a good
watch for twenty dollars that twenty years
ago would have cost you sixty dollars.

mile found Calender still in front of a
bunch of five, and the scratch and
fifty-yard party still well back. They
kept at it until the finish of the thir-
teenth lap, but did not finish, as it was
then apparent that about all that could
save them would be a collision, which
would mangle all the foremost squad.
Calender, Johnson and Harry Perkins
finished in the order named. Their
handicaps were 325, 800 and $50 yards
respectively.
The professionals were then pulled
out again for the final race, the one
mile handicap. Bird, McCleary, Bob
men and Hofer were on scratch. Ry-
dell. Rudd and Nilsson on handicaps.
Bohmen, the Chicago crack, who had
not been making a very good showing
so far, came up fresh and smiling i'll
the second lap and was promising to
overtake Nilsson, Rudd, Hofer and
Lindberg in a walk. Just opposite the
grand stand, however, he and Rydell
and McCleary went up in the air to-
gether. When they came down their
wheels were not ideal racers, and
Bohmen had a very bad knee. He
tried to walk to the dressing room, but
was carried as soon as aid reached
him. McCleary suffered a few scratch
es, and Rydell escaped serious hurt.
The first four finished with Nelson in
the front, although Rudd did give him
brush in the finish. Second was
Olafs best, however. Hofer took
third.

Brakes VIII Be Found Most Certain.

The ineffcency Of back-pedaling as g
substitute for brake was again illustrated
in an accident which befell John Greib, a
Baltimore rider on Sunday afternoon. He
was riding down Rush hill, which is one OF
the steepest hills in the vicinity of Ralti-
more. and in his efforts to keep his wheel
under. control by back pedaling the left
pedal of his bicycle broke. He was conse-
quently thr wn violently to the road and
was seriously injured. The accident which
happened to the Baltlmorean is only one
of many that are possible without a good
brake ad easily aboidabe by the use of
one. The strain of back-pedalling is so Sc
we're that any imperfection which survives
the factory inspection of the catalogues
is liable to result in a severe accident With
the driving mechanism unavailable and
with no means of checking the speed there
is but one result possible unless the rider
is particularly favored by good luck. A
powerful brake of quick action is the surest
insurance against accidents on a down
grade or even q level

the others. The management had plac-
ed time limit of 2:25 on the event, but
the first mile took 2:3211a, six seconds
slower than the novices. McCleary,
Nilsson, Hofer was the order at the
first finish. After some other events
were disposed of a second trial was
made. This was little better. Lindberg
and Bird collided in the stretch, and
Lindberg was spilled, but Bird came
up to the tape second, HOfer leading
and Bohmen following. The thing was
finally settled by having the men paced
by Rydell and Rudd, a mile each. This
brought the time down to 2:23 20,
which was satisfactory, and McCleary
set the pace for the first two laps with
Bird trailing him close. Nilsson laid
back until the finish, when he and the
other two came up abreast. the order
being Bird, Nilsson and McCleary on
the ribbon. Hofer dropped out in the
second lap, and Bohmen was badly
beaten.

open was so long that two heats were

swerved, and he, DoWney and Todd

to remount and finished fourth. just

the name is usually put. Sometimes it is
placed on by means of a plate of silver

A Census of Bicycles Is Proposed,

mot day goes by says the Wheel, ''that
some paragrapher does not launch a declara-
ton regarding the number of bicycles ridden
in his locality, or in the country at large
Without any exceptions the figures thus en-
p!oyed are the result of no study or knowl-
edge of the subject; they are given as though
some one had asked the number of grains
of sand on the seashore, and an answer en-
bracing certain figures had been forthcoming
1t is time that some more definite basis for
calculating the number of bicycles and their
riders be arrived at. The chance to secure
this is at hand in the census to be taken in
1900, arrangements for which are now being
made. When the government officers visit
each citizen of the United States and ask him
the number of horses, asses, oxen, children,
pianos, carriages and mortgages he has, let
bicycles be added to the interrogations and
the result will be of considerable value to
the statistician, the politician, the road
builder and the manufactured
