CYCLING NEWS.

for the cyclist and all are delighted that
Old Sol is once more In place and doing
business at the old stand.
Nothing so cheers the cyclist as to
see the bright rays OF Sol pouring down
on terra firma, IL matters not how
warmly he sends them. The wheelman
is so clad that he minds not the heat
but the cold and while pedestrians are
perspiring under the burning rays the
wheelman is enjoying life in every sense
OF the word.
The rain has served TO allay the dust

will be in prime condition and which

laurel wreath laid on the base. executed
in silver. The latter will probably be
selected.

ONE VOICE Fur FAIR PLAY

(From the Newark Evening News.'o
1t was proper for Governor Griggs, at
the request of counsel for these parties,
to consent to defer the issuing OF the
proclamation declaring the anti-gam-
bling amendment a part of the Constitu-
ton of the State. The appeal was made
that counsel might ave time to
determine whether or not, under the law,
ne can secure a REORGANIZATION of the
s5I rejected ballots. His contention is
that all these ballots were intended to
be votes against the anti-gambling
amendment and thai they were cast out
for illegal reasons, because Of the color
of the cancellation marks upon them and
other causes. The act providing for the
special election simply required tina
voters desiring to cast their ballots
against the amendments should cancel the
latter with ink or pencil. The disputed
point is one that fairly. claims decision

election can be contested under the law,
and anyone wants to contest It, ne
