provement

provement
LONDON, May 2.-The present condl-
tion of the money markets as compared
with that OF a week ago shows money
plentiful and but little prospect OF q
change of rates. The stock exchange
has greatly improved In tone, now that
1t is seen that Europe is not likely to be
plunged into general war.
The pacific utterances of the cxar and
OF Emperor Francis Joseph during their
interviews at st. Petersburg also has
had the effect of inspiring confidence,
while the favorable British budget,
showing the undiminished prosperity OF
Great Britain. justifies renewal of in
vestment. The result is that most of the
market shows distinct advance, the
only gloomy spot being the Transvaal,
African mining securities,
which have shown further decline. On
the other hand. Bulgarians have ad-
vanced six points, Turks ~ to 2ls.
Greeks one, ItaliapNcwo. There is also
a smart demand for Canadian Pacific,
which has advanced 81 on the strength
of the new tariff. Americans, however,
show but little improvement and still,
take their cue from Wall street.

THE NAUGHTY NEW LEAGUE
THINKS IT HAS SCORED A GREAT

The Racing Was Only Fair, as the
Professionals From the South
Failed to Arrive

Associated Press Special Wire.
SAN FRANCISCO. CAL, May 2-The
final step in the desertion OF the League
of American wheelmen by the cyclists
of Northern California was taken today.
This step completes the formation OF q
body that will look after things cycling
in this part of California and which is
modelled on lines similar to the League
Of American wheelmen.
The completing link In the chain Of the
new governing body was the opening of
Sunday bicycling racing In this part of
the state and with the exception OF one
or two Sunday meet runs at Santa Mon
lea last year by the dissatisfied wheel
men of Southern California, today's race
meet at the Velodrome was the FIRST reg
ular Sunday meeting held in the United
States.
THE RACES RUN
Sunday racing was inaugurated today
at the Velodrone track in this city under
a sanction granted by the California AS
sociated Cycling clubs. the Organization
which has displaced the League of
American Wheelmen in this state. The
attendance far exceeded the expecta-
tions of the promoters. The grand stand
was packed and the spectators were very
enthusiastic
Today's showing leaves no doubt in
the mind of local cyclists Of the success
of the Sunday racing venture In Cali
fornia.
The racing today was only fair as a
high wind interferred with the riders
and initiated against speedy perform
ances. The competition, however was
very close in many instances. The anna
teur racee, half-mile handicap and a
two-thirds mile scratch. were won by E.
F. Russ of the Olympic club wheelmen.
The professional races did not bring
out very large field owing to the nom
arrival of number of the crack riders
of Southern California.
There were five starters in the fnai

and Coulter. scratch; Davis, 20 yards;
McCrea, IS yards. and Boyden, so yards.
Coulter pulled Jones up to Davis, but
owing to Jones' dislnclination to set the
pace the long handicap men had their

The final for the mile open for profess
sionals had a representative field of
starters-Jones, Coulter, Ziegler, Davis
and Elford. Ziegler caught the pace
maker by riding in front of him and
dropping back, thus securing the covet-
ed position at the. pacemaker's rear
wheel. The others rode in single file and
made no effort to displace the Little
Demon" On the fourth lap Davis struck
Jones' rear wheel and fell, bringing Ell
ford down with him. This left trio of
stars such as is seldom seen outside of
a match race. Chapman. the pacemak-
er, withdrew on the fifth lap, leaving
the stars to fight 1t out unpaced. Zieg-
Ter let himself out on the back stretch
and left his opponents as II they were
standing still, winning the race by ten
yards Jones beat Coulter for the Sec
ond place. The time. 2:15 2-5, was ex-
ceedingly fast, when the weather condi-

DENVER'S FLOAT.
Colorado Will Have One in the Par
ade-Also Wells, Fargo & Co.

The Wells, Fargo Express company
and the Colorado Fuel and Iron COM
pany will be represented by displays in
the Santa Fe celebration parade on
Santa Fe day of the Fall Festival.
At the request of the Kansas en-
ployes Mr.. c. u. Traver, agent of the
Wells, Fargo company in this city, has
taken the matter up with the officials of
the company, and yesterday Mr.. Ora
ham, a representative of the Colorado
Fuel and Iron company called on Mrs.
G. s. Sutton and arranged for decora-
tions for the float to be placed in the
parade by the Colorado company.
The Wells, Fargo Company has ham
died the express business on the Santa
Fe lines since the road was first incOr-
porated, and for this reason the en-
ployes of the company feel that it
would be appropriate to cooperate with
the Santa Fe employees in the anniver-
sary celebration. The Colorado Fuel
coal properties in Colorado a year ago,
and in this way is identified with the
Santa Fe. It is the company of which
Paul Morton was president before ac-
cepting the position of third vice pres
ident of the Santa Fe.
1t is possible that more than one float
will be placed in the parade by the
Wells, Fargo company, and the funds
will be raised by subscription among
the agents and employees.
The display of the Colorado Fuel and
Iron company will be representative
of the work of the company, and the
decorations will be exclusively of bright
yellow. 1t will be drawn by six horses
also decorated with yellow. The design
will not yet be made public. The floral
decorations will be prepared at the
Flower Committee rooms in this city.
1t is possible that Mr.. c. J. Devlin
president of the Mt. Carmel Coal com
pany, which now controls the Santa Fe
mines in Kansas, will follow the lead
of the Colorado Fuel and Iron company
and also place float in the Santa Fe
parade

BALLOON TO MIDLAKE.
p. J. Deer, "Air Scout" Will
Go Straight Up One Mile
and Drop.

Chicago, Aug. 6.-P. J. Deer, ''air
scout,"is preparing TO jump from bal
lon at a height of one mile down into
the cold waters of Lake Michigan sun
day To be certain of sufficient depth
of water for such a dive the ascension
will be made from the decks of the
Christopher Columbus in midlake.
Mr.. Deer, who is called Professor
by most of his acquaintance, has been
naViga ting the upper regions of the at
nlosphere for the last nine years. For
three years prior to that time he was a
trapeze performer in a circus, a rope
walker and a high diver, but this Will
will be his first attempt at combining
the three SpecialtieS in a single act.
This is what may be called an air
splitter said the aeronaut, pointing
to his balloon. 1T will be cut to a peak
at the top to overcome the resistance
of the atmosphere and will go up like
a rocket, though the diameter is to be
80 feet and the height of the balloon 90
feet 1t will hold $4,000 cubic feet CT
hot air when inflated.
when we get to the spot where the
ascension is to be made the stea mer
with hot air and sent up. 1 shall go
up hanging by my teeth to leather
strap below a trapeZe and with a flag
in each hand. I intend to go up mile.
When 1 am about 5000 feet, and 1 can
tell the height by Self-registering ap-
paratus, then L let go.
when 1 let the parachute drop I
hang by my toes to the trapeze bar,
head down, till I am 200 feet above the
Then I let go and make the dive. A
boat from the whaleback will pick me
up. The ascension, parachute jump
and dive will only take five minutes
