"shake him" he sailed by them ughing.
They were telling some one at the cyclers'
rest of the wonder" run up against on
the wsY out, who could not speak Eng
lish but could ride like the wind. When
informed that he was Lssna, the cham pion
road-rIder of the world, they had no nj ore
to say, but eyed him from a distance with
open -mouthed ad mlration.
Lesna won what is considered the most
remarkable race run anywhere in the
world, the annual road race from Paris to
Bordeaux, $50 miles, about half of which
is up and down hill. Speaking of this
event yesterday NJ. PognOn said: Have
you heard who won the annual Bordeaux
Paris race on May Is? We are very
anxious to know" l told him the news
would not be here until next week Con-
tinuing he said: This year the race was
paced on all the level stretches by motor
cycles, which shows you how France is
advancing n the cycling line. There are
generally about a dozen entrants for the
race from among the best riders on the
Continent, and the pacing arrangements
each man makes are we'll nigh perfect.
Reyierre has won it, Lesna has won it,
and they Judge a mans ability over there
by the query: is he good enough to ride
in the Bordeaux-Paris? Lesna's time for
the $50 miles, half Of it up and down hill,
mind you, was 20 hours So minutes
Think of that! II must have been a
WOnQertul performance.
NJ. Pognon thinks the Terrill brothers
of this City, who went 10 Fiance recently
10 race, will do well. IF they are not fast
enough to compete with the best riders
they can ride against the second or third
best. Riders are graded over there ac-
cording to their abilities, and a third class
rider in France viii make more money
than cham pion in America. Why2 Be-
cause there are NOR meets. the attend =
ance Is better and consequently the track
managements can afford liberal prizes.
1--WE Will say next Sunday the Terrills
want 10 race in France. Where VIII they
ride? Well, let's see. Here is a meet at
Marseilles, one at Bordeaux, one at Brus-
sells, three or four in Paris, besides num-
berless road races. They can find out
who Is going to ride a. each place and
then allot themselves where they think
they will have chance of winning, and
not go up against NORM, Bourrilion,
Revierre, Champion, Garin or those peo-
pie. who, if they are not speedier, at any
rate have the pacing teams and knowl-
edge of the tracks down so fine as TO be
almost unbeatable"
The visitors will stay here until Monday
morning, when they will leave for the
East, stopping off al Salt Lake City, Dem
yer and Chicago. "You have the most de-
Iighiful climate of any place | have been, !"
Lesna said to me through his interpreter
''but sacre! what terrible pavements," q"
and he put his hands 10 his ears rs If TO
shut out the din. l explained that most
parts of our residence districts were paved
with asphaltum. But why" there2 he
queried. "Is there not more driving and rid
ing here downtown than there is out where
you liver" he could not understand 1t,
and / was at loss for an explana ton
myself.

J The Finance Committee of the Board of

over the financial situation yesterday,
and came to the conclusion that while it
cannot staYs off g deficiency IN the mu-
nicipal funds, it can by strict economy so
reduce the shortage as to leave the City
in much better condition than was antici-
pated.
Chairman Rottanzi has had an expert
working on the matter for some time past,
and the result of his labors was made
known at the meeting. 1t showed one
important thing, and that is if the Street
Department expects to come out any,
where near even Superintendent Ambrose
will have to let out his entire force of
street laborers for the next month, and he
will be requested to take this action. The
