The A.bury. park Race Meet.

Asbury Park has always been a favorite
spot for bicycle racing cracks, and It is
said that the list of entries for the com
ing big national meet at the Athletic
Track, Tuesday, August 8, will far ex-
coed the most %sanguine expectation OF the
management. Already applications for
entry blanks are coming in from all parts
OF the country and the starting list Will
number more celebrated riders than any
meet that has ever k place IN this
vicinity for years. The entries of Bald,
Cooper and Kiser are expected daily, and
they will probably compete in all three
of the professional events. There will be
a large number of amateur starters from
Asbury Park and vicinity and a number
Of dark horses are promised in the per-
sens of Ray Doyle and young Creighton
Of Loeb Arbour, who are being specially
trained by James J. Corbett, who will
also be one of the stars Of The meet, it
being his first appearance in public at
Asbury Park since his late misfortune.

MISCELLANEOUS.
HARD TO EXPLAIN.
If This Had Occurred Anywhere Else than
in Portland, There Might be Grave
Doubts About 1t.

If this were published anywhere else
than in Portland, that is If the statement
given below went the rounds of the press,
readers III Boston or New Orleans would
not believe it. In the very nature OF
things, men and women will not belleve
that a simple little pill would have any
effect on humanity when the subject Is IN
serious condition. When it has that
effect, when the party is a living witness,
least cannot possibly deny it-particularly
so when Investigation is courted. Now
ask Mr. Joel Bibber who lives on 49
Lafayette street, and see if he will not
corroborate personally what he says pub
licly.
Mr.. Bibber, says: GAS medicine for
the kidneys, Doan's Kidney Pills have no
equal. They are splendid kidney cor
rective and having done me so much good
l never cease telling my friends about
them. / had for long while suffered
with a throbbing, pulling sort of pain
right across the small of the back Any
exercise particularly that of twisting or
STOPPING hurt and tired my back, and
every one who has had kidney complaint
knows how wearisome a thing it is, how
anxiously they want to get rid of it and
how completely lost they are when they
60 to select a remedy. 1 went down to
II. II. Hay & SONS drug store at the
junction of Free and Middle street. and
got Doan's Kidney Pills. It did not take
them very long to get the cause of the
pain: Whatever it was they removed it
and have had no bother since.''
Doan's Kidney Pills are for sale by all
dealers or sent by mail on receipt of price

HATcHING cANARIEs OUT WEST,
Milwaukee Now Supplies This Country
With Most of the WarbIers.l
(From the Milwaukee Sentinel. ,

(From the Milwaukee Sentinel
Milwaukee supplies the United States
with the bulk of the Hartz Mountain
canaries, and there is no great crime in
the deception, for the Milwaukee bird is
really an improvement on 1.-The imported
article, having just as fine voice and
being much harder.
Experience has shown that the i'm.
ported singer loses the power of transmit.
ting his voice to the young after passing
through an American winter. This is the
case, also, it is said, with the Tyrolean
singers who come to this country, their
voices losing the peculiar yodling QUALITY
when they have bee1 here year. The
ma tive canary is harder than the import.
ed Ones and, with proper training. is
every bit as good singer.
Before they are mated the hen birds
are kept in separate cages In the
music room, carefully fed and made to
listen to the music of the singers and the
machine used in training their voices. In
this way the hen is enabled to transmit
the best musical quality to it's offspring
south exposure, and is kept with the same
scrupulous neatness as the breeding room.
In the corner of this room is the bird
organ, and with it the little birds are
given their vocal training.
When the machine is started the notes
emitted are wonderfully like the song of
the untutored canary. These notes are
known to bird trainers by the term
pfeiffen. Gradually the whistle strikes
on to different line 1t is an improve
ment over the pfeiffen, and is called
klingel rolle A higher step STILLS called
the klingel, and still higher step hohl
klingel Lastly comes what is called hohl
rollen, and bird whose voice has been
developed up to that point is worth fifty
dollars in the market any day.

fully in the sunlight. This is the cele-
brated flower the happy owner of which
is supposed to revel in riches at will and
to enjoy every conceivable happiness.
Hence the great and natural desire fer its
acquisition To the stranger, though, per-
haps the most lovely of all are the flowers
and fruit of that plant first introduced
to European botany by its dicoverer, the
renowned Thunberg, century or SO ago.
1t is called Fagraoea auriculata, and it
grows on the great tree Of Java in per-
fection and profusion. The flowers are
very large. of the usual magnificent ap-
pearance, and quite equalling the lowell
est members of the glorious East India
flora. The fruit, too, seems to be par
tioularly inviting. This plant, living a
half parasitic life, and nourished princi-
pal1y by the decayed soil aforementioned,
pushes aloft its stem and branches in un-
paralleled luxuriance, investing the dead
boughs of the monster tree on which it
dwells with charms and verdure long
since departed from the parent Alto
gether upwards of fifty different species
live and flourish in this singular arbore-
tum, this truly gigantic member of the
vegetable kindgom, this tree of trees.
