A Six Day Contest for Lady Riders at
the Island Ball Park.
A Saucer Shaped Track to be
Built, and to be Lighted at Night
by Electricity Arrangements for
the L. A. w. Meet in Philadelphia.
What the Local Riders are Do
ipg-News and Notes.

The latest fad has at last reached
Wheeling, and the fast feminine cy-
clists are coming to the base ball park.
For months past the Associated Press
dispatches have in a manner been g
harbinger of their coming. In the
large eastern cities these contests have
been watched by thousands, and within
the past year the nearer cities of CleVe-
land, Columbus and Indianapolis have
been visited with equal success.
At the first blush the Idea of wo-
man bicycle race is not a promising
one. 1t is but natural that the unso-
phisticated should place it in the same
category with a women's foot ball
game or a women's base ball club, etc.
The women bicycle riders, however,
come with the Endorsement of the lead
ing newspapers of the East and West,
and the conservative Cleveland papers
were sufficiently impressed with their
Importance in the amusement loving
world to devote Y columns of reading
notices during their single weeks stay
in that city. The riders are Miss Title
Anderson, who is the undisputed cham
pion of the world, native of Chicago;
Miss Allen is an English girl. and
comes from Liverpool, and holds all
the English records for women; Miss
Gable halls from Chicago, and has
been riding about fifteen months pro-
fessionally; Miss Berry was a promin-
ent local rider in Cincinnati. and is
comparatively young in professional
ranks
Interest in racing in this city prom
Uses to be red hot the coming summer
and this race will undoubtedly be the
most novel as well as the most holly
contested of them all. The track,
which will be twelve laps to a mile,
will be built in front of the grand
stand at the base ball park, covering
the home plate, and will be surveyed by
the City Engineer or some of his as
sistants. and will be built by Harry
Jeffs, an English track builder of wide
experience, he having built the track
at Tattersall's, in Chicago, on which
all previous records were broken.
The Judges, scorers, timers and
referee will be all Wheeling people of
the highest repute and standing, and
the management of the races will be
left entirely in their hands.
This race is not continuous one,
but a trial of skill and speed, and not
of endurance. Each contestant, in or
der to get any portion of the prize
money must cover over 240 miles in
the twelve hours; two hours each even
ing. which is an average of about 20
miles an hour.

The track at Willow Grove, where the
National L. A. w. championships will
be decided next August, was opened for
the season last Saturday. Over $4,000
people were in attendance, and demon
strated that the present unfinished seat
ing accommodations must necessarily
be enlarged before August next. An
idea of the condition of the track may
be had when it is stated that Starbuck
won the 25-mile handicap from scratch
in the good time of 1:OS:26. A vicious
northwest wind was blowing through
out the contest and the day was so cool
that there was a suspicion of bleakness
about ii. The crowds were handled in
double-quick time.

Fairmont. w. Va, June 5.-The bicy-
Gle subject came up before the Council
at Tuesday nights meeting, and the
CITY dads ordered the Mayor to enforce
the city ordinance. This ordinance was
passed last May and is very strict. It's
regulations are shown in the following
interview with Mayor Kendall. 1t is
expected that some wheelmen Will be
fined and the case made a test one.
Mayor Kendall, when seen, said that as
far as he was concerned, he expected TO
respect the wishes of the City Council,
"and their wish is that the ordinance
passed last year, requiring all persons
TO have a lantern on their wheels IN the
evening, should and must be enforced.
And further. that riders or Dlcycles
must not travel at higher rate OF speed
than six miles per hour; that they must
sound the alarm bell before reaching
crossings. and keep sounding the same
while on crossings of said town. Again,
only three riders can travel abreast on
the streets of Fairmont, and riders
must not ride on the sidewalks nor cir
Gle on any square of said town. In fact,
10 be brief. | shall take it for granted
that all riders are familiar with the
ordinances of the town. not only the
bicycle ordinance, but all other ordl-
nances, and no excuse will be taken
should any of them be violated. When
asked the penalty of violation OF the
bicycle ordinance, Mayor Kendall SAID
For a violation of the bicycle ordi-
nance | will impose fine of not less
than one. nor more than twenty dol-
lars. as prescribed by said ordinance,
and | may imprison the offender IN the
Marion county Jail for a period not
more than thirty days. And peg 10
assure YOU that | will enforce this or
dinance to the letter. when brought TO

STOLEN TICKET PRESENTED.

The conductor Of a Union Pacific train
was not a little startled Friday, when
just outside OF the Denver city limits,
TO have a passenger offer him a ticket
that was over 10 years old.
Sometimes miners keep return por-
lions Of the tickets on which they came
west for years before they decided to
take the %east-bound part OF the trip they
nave paid for. But there was something
In the appearance Of this passenger that
told the conductor hat the ticket would
be worth investigating. He noted The
form and number, long since out Of use,
and wired to headquarters In this city for
Instructions. 1t was soon learned that
the ticket was m of a lot that had been
stolen from the station at Ames, Neb..
a number Of years ago. At that time
the station was broken into and entered
and a quantity Of through tickets Of less
Importance we're stolen. The Union Pa
ellie officials have been watching ever
since for one Of the missing tickets to
SHOW up, and the first made Its appear
ance yesterday. Detectives have been
set 10 work and an effort will be made to
run down the persons in whose hands
the tickets have been all this time. and
then, il possible. the robbers themselves.

change among all western roads are not
difficult TO discern. II may not be gen
orally known, but 1t IS said TO be a fact
that practically all dining cars in this
country are operated at a loss. The only
endeavors OF the railroad companies is
to keep the deficit down TO the lowest
figure. The last annual report OF the
Rock Island shows a deficit Of something
over $1,000 charged up to the dining car
service. The officials Of the road do not
consider that extravaganza, FOR they
reckon that the gain through advertis-
Ing is worth more than The loss amounts
to. All the local lines running dining
cars report hat the earnings Of their
cars have increased considerably since
the adoption of the a la carte system.
Not only Is there less waste OF food I'M
der the a la carte system, but the direct
revenue Is found to be much greater.
Mere than double the number OF persons
eat on dining cars where they can pay
for what they eat than when charged
81 a meal. though the value OF each meal
does not OF course run up so high. the
prices Of meals. according to reports OF
dining car service, now ranging from
an average Of SO cents on the Rock Is
lands eastern lines to 81 cents on the
Burlington's lines west Of the Missouri
river.-Omaha Bee.

The Salt Lake Herald OF recent date
gives the following account OF q foot
rae in which Hugh Swartwood figured
as principal.
General Baggage Agent Swartwood Of
the Snort Line is IA Splinter, as was clear
ly demonstrated last evening, when the
train pulled out for the north. Miss
Emma Baldwin, en- route to Butte, was
in the baggage room getting two trunks
checked us the train pulled out, and the
lady made a star run for it. She succeed
ed in swinging herself onto the platform
with an ease that would do credit to an
old brakeman. but even then her troubles
! were not over. She had left her ticket
on the counter. and Mr.. Swartwood
grasped the situation and in a moment
he had the a~ll-important pasteboard,
and bound from the baggage room in
pursuit of the train, which was in the
lead and increasing its speed. He was
in his shirtsleeves. and made a run that
earned him fame and congratulations
from the crowd-he got that ticket
aboard. 1t didn't matter that at the out
set he jumped over a truck, knocked
down Officer Randolph and the Herald
man, who were posing in the line OF
fight. Moral-Get your baggage to the
depot in tine to be checked.

THE PLAN

General Passenger Agent John Sebas-
tan Of the Rock Island route yesterday
announced in Chicago that one week
from next Wednesday. April 6, the Rock
Island would adopt the a Ia carte system
OF dining a service on its east and
est-bound express trains between Oma-
ha and Chicago.
This change would be worthy of moth
ing more than a passing mention were
1t not for the fact that. with this change,
every railroad west Of Chicago will have
abandoned the American plan Of dining
car service In order to adopt the a Ia
carte plan. When dining cars came into
vogue on western railroads the Ameri-
can plan was at once inaugurated. Dur
