sTARBuCK THE WINNER.
Grosns, Kisses and Cheers Enlivened the
Race.

New York, July 1.-THE American
Cycle Racing association held its mid
summer race meet at the Manhattan beach
track today. The principal event was a
twenty mile race between j. Frank Star
buck of Lewisburg, Pa, and Fred j.
Titus of this city. The prize was a
81 ,000 purse, the winner to be matched
against Jimmy Michael, the Welsh won
der winner in contest on the same track
on August 81.
In this race each contestant furnished
his own pacemakers, who were limited to
IS side. Starbuck was the favorite and
odds of five to three were laid on his
chances of winning. The men started off
at 5 II o'clock, Titus being paced by a
triplet and Starbuck by a quint. Titus
had not gone 10 yards when his right
crank hanger broke and he dismounted.
The judges directed the starter to recall
Starbuck and the PAGERS. There was a
delay of 90 minutes while the wheel was
repaired When the men were sent off
again, Titus got away first and soon
opened a gap of twenty yards. On the
second mile Titus was gradually drawing
away from his opponent, while the pace
makers were changed every two laps. At
the end of the fourth mile he was nearly
half a lap to the good. At the close of the
fifth mile Titus had more than half a lap
to his credit, but when he crossed the six
mile mark the distance between him and
his opponent was lessened by about 80
yards Starbuck's PAGERS had now
warmed up to the work and he caught
them when they changed much better
than before and gradually gained on the
leader. In the first lap of the seventh
mile Titus ceased riding and the cry went
up "Titus is quitting" which was fol-
lowed by howl from the spectators who
shouted ''Titus has quit" Starbuck
nassed them in the stretch and received
hearty cheers as he swept past the grand
stand behind the quint. Titus dismounted
opposite the judges stand and claimed
that he had stitch in his side which dis
abled him. There were groans and Kisses
from many, but Starbuck shouted to the
Judges that he would continue the race
and try to beat the record The spectators
renewed their cheers for the Lewlsburg
man and he set off at fast gait. His
riding improved with every lap and he
picked up his PAGERS in excellent style
The American record for the distance was
made by Michaels in his race against
Starbuck on the same track last year
Michael covered the distance in AZ min
utes, II seconds. Starbuck finished the
distance today in AZ minutes and Sec
onds. after making splendid squirt in
the last lap.

NEARLY DROWNED.
The Narrow Escape of Mr.. Everett
Pattee.

Mr.. Everett Pettee, the manager of the
Peoples Ferry company, had narrow
escape from drowning Friday afternoon.
1t was on the 5 o'clock trip of the boat
from the Portland side and Mr.. Pettee
had gone on board of the boat to give
some orders to the engineer Just as he
was coming up from down below, the boat
started and he ran to the edge of the boat
and jumped for the slip. The boat had
got further away than Mr.. Pettee thought
and he missed his footing and slipped,
striking on his stomach on the edge of
the landing and then fell into the
water. There was quite strong I'm der.
tow from the paddles of the boat and Mr.
Pettee was carried down under the
water. He reached up and tried to catch
hold of the edge of the pontoon but it was
too slippery and he lost his hold. Mr.
Nathaniel Young, a clerk on the boat,
was coming down the wharf at the time
f the accident. He saw Mr.. Pettee as
he made the jump for the slip, and when
he saw him go into the water Young
made spring over the high gate at tho
head of the landing and, running down,
caught rope and threw it to Mr.. Pet
tee. When Mr.. Young got to the end of
the slip all he could see was Mr.. Pettee' S
hands above the water, his head being be-
low the surface and his body half way
under the big pontoon. Reaching down
Mr. Young held the rope out until it
touched Mr.. Pettee's hands, when it was
quickly seized and the nearly drowned
man drawn to the surface. He was then
drawn up on the wharf. Mr.. Young S
promptness probably saved Mr.. Pettee's
| life for he said he had about given up all
hope when he felt the rope strike against
his wrist. After change of clothes Mr..
Pettee was able to attend to his work, but
is still feeling the effects of his sudden
bath

of Westbrook directly and indirectly. 1t

of the most pleasant that can be found
in the state and the trip can also be made
at less expense than hitherto. Having

no possible reason why Westbrook as

lending its credit to the extent asked

were seen and said: "We believe that the
road is a necessity and that it would be
great help to the business interests of
Westbrook. If the road is to be built, as
we believe it will be, it would seem that

men of this city should be loaned to the
local promoters of the enterprise.

needed improvement not only to them
but to Westbrook
Mayor Francis Cloudman was seen but
did not care to express an opinion as the
loaning of money on the part of the city
to the project prevented him from taking
sides one way or another.
MR.. KIMBALL EASTMAN
an old resident of Cumberland Mills, was
seen. He said: I feel very favorably toward
the matter and hope the project to build a
road will succeed. The road would be
great benefit to the localities through
which it would run. The fact of the mat
ter is it would also bring business to this
city. The construction Of such road
would also help Westbrook in its mail
facilities and believe it would only be
short time before we should have free
delivery Of the mails, as Westbrook would
be raised to first class office, and would
be made a distributing station for mail
from all points going to Harrison and the
vicinity. 1 believe that the city of West
brook can afford to loan it's credit for the
amount asked
A petition in favor of the loaning of
the city's credit in aid of the road has
already been signed by 800 citizens. The
city is asked to aid the company to the
extent of 10000.
