THE HOLIDAY CROWD.
Some Odd Sights at the Road Race
Race Yesterday.


There was an infinite variety to the holt
day crowd out at the road race. Variety
in bicycles, variety in vehicles, variety in
costumes, variety in dogs, variety in every
thing except parasols and jags, for the
gentle warmth of the day and the occasion
were not conducive to either. few
North-end dogs We're attracted by the fes-
tiveness of things and afterwards deplored
their rash venturing when they found
themselves in labyrinths of wheels, golf
stockinged limbs, and skirts. One unhappy
dog snapped at bicyclists and when he
finally reached the open space between the
curbs he was numerically seated" and
threatened by line of spectators. Poor
doggie. he has been run over by a road
roller and stretched out" commented one
woman, sympathetically. She was bestow-
ing her kindly expression on one of those
hyper-elongated CANNES known as the
observation-disclosures of those dogs which the
funny man says are geared too low.
Two small colored boys, with a type of
vehicle growing immensely popular among
certain street urchins who cannot buy or
will not steal a safety bicycle were much
in evidence and universally damned. They
engineered a kick" machine which re-
quirea more power than a bicycle and is
thrice as dangerous in a crowd. A kick ma
chine is a toy wagon, generally red and the
operator, setting in it sideways. holding up
the tongue propels it by sweeping out his
left leg. like an oar, kicking against the as
phalt pavement and shooting the wagon
forward three Of four feet with each sweep
of the leg. The speed of this jerky locomo-
ton is often at the expense OF straightaway
steering, and several times yesterday these
kick" operators would create a panic in

Three haunted Bunebole..

Sir Walter Besant suggests, in the
Queen. that 1.-THE Haunted Cellar and the
Three Bungholes" would make, in these
days Of difficulty over titles, a fine and
original title for story. you would,
perhaps, like me TO write a story up to
that title. Very wei. Listen. OF course
a title so unusual requires a step back
into times medieval, when haunted cell
lars were common and even things of so
little dignity as bungholes could become
important. The event. then happened at
monastery near Treves.
'One morning the cellarer, accompan-
led by his servitor, went down into the
cellar to draw wine, and there, to his dis
gust, found one of the casks which had
been quite fun the day before, empty
down to the bunghole, and the bung lying
on the ground. He, therefore, abused the
serving brother for negligence. and en-
joined silence lest the abbot should hear
of it, and so they should lose their posts.
He then very carefully inspected the other
casks, left the cellar and locked the door
Next day he found another cask half
empty down to the bunghole. Greatly
moved, because he could not charge the
servitor with neglect, he once more In
spected the casks, but still preserved ST.
lence. On the third day he saw for the
third time that bung had been extracted
from a cask and that the wine had been
spilled down to the bunghole.
This time he hesitated no longer, but
ran to the abbot and told all The abbot,
after considering the thing, ordered all
the bungholes to be Amounted with conse-
Grated oil. This was done. Now, mark
the effect. At break of day the brethren
descended into the cellar There they
found clinging to bung, as if he could
not let go, a dWarfish black boy. Him
they seized and by order of the abbot
clothed in monks robes and placed with
the boys of the monastery school.
THE dwarf therefore sat with the other
boys; but at night he incurred without
sleeping and all day long he sighed; and
he never spoke. One day another abbot
came to visit this monastery, and heard
the strange story. Then he said thought
fully, L doubt not that this is a demon;
quickly let him depart lest he do you
mischief. 1t is the monastic robe which
keeps him here So they quickly pulled
off the robe and To- he vanished out of
their hands like smoke. There were many
compensations, you see, for living in the
twelfth century"

them regarding the great Importance of
