INCIDENTS ATTENDANT ON THE RECEPTION.

During the past campaign, those who
Fad every morning in The Statesman of
the immense crowds that attended Bry-
ans sDeakings, could not believe the re-
port. 1t seemed impossible that one man
could have won such attention at the
hands Of the busy world. II seemed in
credible, and yet those who went TO the
capitol building yesterday morning wit
messed a sight not unlike that which
They had read about. As matter of
course the crowd was not n multitude in
the way Of campaign gathering. but it
was multitude nevertheless. Up to
yesterday morning many did not know
that there was to bc reception TO the
distinguished Ncbraskan, but as soon as
they did learn of il they lost no time in
hastening TO the capitol. The notice of

man named the hours as from 10 TO II
o'clock, and something like half an hour
before that time the corridors surround
ing the main reception rooms were crowd
"d with crowd eager and anxious to see
The distinguished guest and shake his
hand. Mr.. Bryan was something like
ihirty minutes late in making his appear
incc. This was due, possibly, to the
fact that Mr.. Bryan was kept up quite
late on Wednesday night by friends at
the home of Governor lIogg, and ycstcr-
day morning before coming TO the capitol
he had quite number of visitors, so that
he had TO avail himself of the first oppor-
rCnity TO get away and come to meet his
host Of waiting admirers at the capitol
Before his arrival mpny ladies had as
semblcd in the assembly room and were
impaticntly awaiting his coming. The
minutes passed slowly, and Mr.. Bryan did
not appear. Some of the ladies became
anxious, thinking that possibly he had
forgotten to come or that The Statesman
was wrong in announcing his reception.
At 1880, however, stir in the lower
corridors betokcncd the fact that Mr..
Bryan was near. He quickly disappeared
IN the outer office of the governor and
went up to the reception room by means
of the private staircase, entering sudden

around that he was in the reception room
and general movement was made in

Last afternoon at o'clock Mr.. Bryan,
by special invitation of the university
students, visited them at the State Uni
versity and delivered n speech for their
edification, which, while not lengthy, was
very eloquent one and elected much
applause While very little previous
notice had been given of the address to
be made at the university, it became
noiscd around, and when Mr.. Bryan
walked on the stage Of the assembly hall,
he found himself facing nearly 1000
people, many of them being town people
who had gone out to hear him. He made
n Characteristic cpeech which was warm
ly received As he came on the stage,
accompanied by President Winston, the
Varsity boys gave him hearty wei

driven home TO rest for his lecture at s

OLYMPIC BIKERS
STILL DEF|AN 7
A Special Relay Race
With the Bay Citys
Seems Certain.
The Matter Will Be Settled at
a Meeting to Be Held
Tonight.
There Seems to Be a Division of
Sen tim mt as 10 the Rules
That Should G3vern.

The Olympic Club Wheelmen will hold
special meeting this evening for the pur-
pose OF considering the proposition to en-.
gags in q private 1OO-mile relay race with
the Bay City Wheelmen, SO as to settle
the much-mooted question Of supremacy
between those rival organizations.
1t is all the outcome of the recent an.
nual century relay, in which the Bay CITY
contingent came out with top houors and
the Olympics in second place. There was
a row and a protest over the decision.
The protest emanated from the Olympic
Club riders, who claimed that certain
members of the victorious team did not
make any pretense toward living up to the
rules governing the race.
After accusing the Bay City contingent
OF resorting to tfickery and unfairness in
order 10 win the Olympics dared the vic
tors to pedal over the course once more
againsttheir men. Through Captain Day
the Bay City riders accepted this chal-
Ienge, and now all that seems to remain is
for the Olympic lads to announce when
they will be ready.
eve propose to give everybody fair
warning IN this affair that We will pace
our riders over the course" said one of the
foremosf Olympians last night. "This is
in violation of the rules, we know, but we
are so certain that the Bay City racers will
not live up TO the rules that we do not
propose to take any chances. They have
resorted to their little tricks every time
they raced before, and it stands to reason
that they will do it again. Therefore, we
say, let's have no rules to violate.
"They might just as well come out and
agree to the pacing of all the riders. for
they would DO it themselves anyhow. We
do not intend to be caught napping Q
again."
But then, this is only one Olympic opin-
ion. 1t can be truthiully SAID that such
radical ideas are not entertained by all of
the members. A great many of them
favor looking at the matter cooIly and
sensbly, and OF keeping one idea before
them throughout-the good of the sport.
Not that they. are inclined to abandon
the special-race ropositior-they seem
courage the idea OF opening the way fo-
another dispute by deliberately violating
the amateur rules. These conservative
members say: Let the two clubs have
an understanding beforehand that the
race will be strictly under the rules, and
that the one which COM mits an infraction
will be declared the loser"
This element of tie Olympics seems
confident that its team can beat the Bay
City riders over the 10o-mile triangle. and
processes that it wants to see IL done ION
the square"
But all this is TO be a. natter for dis.
cuss:on at to-night's meeting. One thing
seems certain. and that is that the Olym-
pics will stand by their original challenge
for q special race over the big relay course.

RING AND GLOVE.
What Is Being Done in Local Fistic
Circles

In regard to the forthcoming contest
between Thompson and Agnew, it may be
said Thompson, the colored champion of
Salt Lake-that is of the class of tigh ters
he epresents--is of comparatively un-
known quality, but he has an excellent
record nevertheless, and men who are
5ood judges of boxing do not hesitate to
say that he will give Agnew hard race
for the long end of the purse.
Anyhow Thompson looks every inch a
fighter and ii has been said in undertones
that Agnew has a wholesome regard for
the cclored lads right-hand punches,
which are said to be something terrible.
Thompson claims that he whipped Agnew
in Salt Lake City, but the white man says
no. and that the fight ended in a draw.
The Steiner and Greggains contest will
be twenty rounds and the Agrew and
Thompson scrap fifteen rounds. The club
will doubtless match Kennedy of the San
Francisco Club TO box eight rounds against
some Of the local scrappers. AM this will
be the curtain raiser. The racifics have a
good card, which the sporting public will
acknowledge.
The next fight which will be held
under the auspices of the National
Club will take place on the evening
of the 23d inst The programme
reads: Bob Armstrong, who is a counter
part OF refer JaCkSon, ana VINO IS now
under the management Of "Parson"
Davies, will meet sam Pruit In fifteen
round bout. Both men are colored heavy
weights and said to be very hard punchers.
Jimmy Barry and Jimmy Anthony will
box twenty rounds 10 decide the bantam
weight championship of the world. and it
Is certain that Jim will win the hstic race
and the honors connected Herewith A
third match will be arranged this coming
week.
The Olympic Club is still looking for
talent, and perhaps it may match La
vigne and Cans, the hard hitting 133
pound champion pugilist of Baltimore.
for twenty rounds Cans would give La
vigne hard run to the finish, but his
manager is looking for soft snaps before
Cans is turned loose upon the cracker
jacks.
The club is also thinking of matching

colored fighter who whipped Walcott re-

THAT FOOTBALL MONEY.
The Pacific Association Ordered 1t to

ward Euud.

The board OF governors of the Pacific
Amateur Athletic Association has decided
to turn over the funds accruing from the
football game which took place last win
ter in this City between the Olympic and
Butte City football teams to the Balboa
boulevard fund, amounting to $500.
1t will be remembered that after and be-
fore the football game considerable dis
cussion arose over the personnel of the
Butte City team, which the captain
finally acknowledged was composed OF
amateur and professional players.
The game, however, was allowed to take
place under protest, and the moneys
taken in at the gate instead of being
divided among the teams to defray their
expenses, ETC., were held under the thum b
OF the association, to be disposed accord
ingly as the Pacific Athletic Association
governors saw fit--that is, after the ex-
penses of the Olympic Club proper had
been deducted.
The association is still hot after the
amateurs who have contested for money
prizes and some of them, including Stuart,
carter and Frank Gilbert, have been ad-
judged full-fledged professionals. who can
not participate in future in contests gov
efned by The rules OF the Amateur
Athletic Union.
