Remarkably Fine weather.

1t is a good many years since Calumet
has seen such a mild winter as the pres
emit one has been so far and the Oldest
settlers say 1t beats all records. In fact
there has not yet been any real weather.
The thermometer never got farther than
five degrees below zero and il only
dropped that far on one or two occa
sions. There il not much OF January
left and with but two more months OF
winter the old Storm King will have to
get in some speedy work to make up for
lost time
The only people who are kicking
against the pleasant winter are the lum.
bermen. Although everything was very
fine early IN the season they are now
having hard row to hoe and are pray
ing for more snow. In the woods the
snow does not amount TO much. The
fall has been fair. but when IL becomes
settled and with several days OF real
warm weather such as we had last week,
it tends TO make the logging work diff
cult.
Most OF the logging this year is being
carried on in the vicinity OF the canal.
Paul K Morrison are getting out good
deal OF hard cord wood and the other
lumbermen are also working in that
vicinity. There are one or two camps 10
the vicinity OF Lily Pond and Bear Lake,
The Jacka estate is taking out consid.
cradle timber near the canal. In the
vicinity of Fulton Ernst Bollman has the
usual number OF men and teams at work
but they have to go farther and farther
down the line for the wood. Quello il
working this winter at the old st. Louis
mine.
So far the work has progressed fairly,
but change in the weather is needed
so that the lumbermen can complete
their contract.

Publfc InstaiIation.

That the Maccabees have strong or.
ganization here and that they have a
large number OF friends outside OF the
society was clearly demonstrated last
evening when the public installation of
officers took place in the Odd Fellows
Hall over VIII sstore. Long before the
hour OF commencing arrived every seat in
the large hall was occupied and by the
time the ceremony commenced the crowd
was occupying all the standing room in
the hall and 10 the ante-room.
The ceremony OF installation was an
exceedingly interesting one to person
unacquainted with it and could not but
impress upon the mind OF such one the
solemnity OF the oaths taken. Both the
officers OF Calumet Tent. X. TN.
and l.. o. T. NJ, who haye been elected
Tor the ensuing year were installed.
The installation work was done by a
team OF the ladies led by Miss Carrie
Hosking and they were exceedingly we'll
posted in the different parts OF the cere-
mony.
It was rather late hour when the in
stallation was over and then the large
crowd enjoyed a repast which the ladies
had prepared for the occasion. How.
ever, before the supper was served there
was short literary program, which in
cluded recitation by Prof. L. Wills and
one by Mr.. Urban. A quadrille danced
by the gentlemen Of Calumet Tent and
the ladies OF Lady Willard Hive proved
very interesting.
The Maccabees are growing very rapid
iy in this city and the prosperous condi-
ton oil the different lodges OF the order
here Is evidence that it is doing good
work among the people.

NOT BEFORE MARCH
Will Mitchell be in Condition to Fight Tom
Sharkey.

VIII Mitchell be In Condition to Fight Tom
Sharkey.
New York, December 3.-The inter-
national fight between Charley Mitch
ell and Tom Sharkey will not take
place before March next and the latter
can now complete arrangements to
fight kid" Mccoy in January. In re-
spouse to Sharkey's acceptance OF
Mitchells challenge, and his offer to
fight him in January, Mitchell yester-
day cabled that he would be unable to
get himself into proper condition 10
fight before March, but that he desired
the match and requested that articles
of agreement be sent to him at once,
and if the conditions are satisfactory
he will sign them and begin training.
When Mitchell issued the challenge
he deposited $1,000 in London and this
amount Tom O'Rourke covered on be-
half of Sharkey. The latter stipulated
that the fight must take place In Janu-
airy, as he desired to go to San Fran
cisco in February to fight Jeffries, but
O'Rourke said yesterday that il Mitch
ell gave him positive assurance that
he would meet Sharkey here in Marcn
he would delay his departure to the
Pacific coast.
O'Rourke says he will insist upon a
side wager of at least $1,000. If Mitch
ell will agree to fight here ORourke
says he will allow him $500 for train
ing expenses.

weary pedaler for rousing him. Some
times, when a man falls off his Wheel
either through drowsiness or a cOlli-
sion, he lies contentedly where he is
and it is only with threats and force
that he can be made to continue his
task.
The riders often get queer notions
into their heads. Sometimes they i'm
agine that their handlers have con-
spired to make them lose or they
complain that the scorers are in league
against them and are not chalking up
the laps as rapidly as they reel them
off. Again the monotony of the riding
will be relieved by one OF the riders
suddenly starting out at merry clip
in the endeavor to cut down the lead
of some rival. Inspired by his efforts,
the music of the band and the cheers
of the spectators others will sprint
along beside him, and for some time
they will spin off miles as though they
were trying for the hour record instead
OF plugging away in a six day affair
Now and again the attendants will
give hot drinks or fruit or other food
to their men, who eat it going round
and round on their wheels. At one end
of the Garden a number of small tents
are set up in which are small cots, gas
stoves and all sorts of dishes and
comestibles, bicycles and tools for
mending and fitting them, besides ev-
erything else that can possibly be need
ed. Here the riders come during their
short absences from the track to take
snatches of rest or be massaged or
have their limbs bound up after falls.
The last night is always one OF great
excitement, and the vast building, lit
by thousands of electric lights, hazy
with the smoke frsm many cigars,
packed to the caves with a shouting
and waving crowd of 5000 to 10000
people, incloses a strange and stirring
spectacle. The riders, excited by the
cries of the throng and the encourag-
ing shouts Of their personal friends
and adherents and gladdened by the
thought that their srueling is nearly
over, make all sorts of sprints and in
dulge in repartee with the onlookers
and their fellows on the track. a band
enlivens the scene with music whenev-
er the din is hushed sufficiently for q
note to be heard and short races are
held between crack short distance rid
ers for special prizes.
Some good races have been arranged
to take place every afternoon and even
ing during the coming contest, in
which well known amateur and pro-
fessional riders will take part. More
than $500 will be offered in prizes
during the week.
A six day contest is necessarily a
terribly hard undertaking, but the
przes won by the leaders are sufficient
to induce them to try for them. Miller
last year in winning the race earned

THE SIX DAY
BICYCLE RACE
Interest In the Contest at Fever
Heat in New York--SpIen-
did Galaxy Of Riders
Will Compete.

Interest in the great international six
DAY bicycle race at Madison Square
Garden, New York, has been gradually
increasing during The past few weeks,
until now, on the eve Of the contest, 1t
is the one topic OF all who are in any
way interested in cycling.
The contestants will start on their
weary task at 1905 a. m. sharp ON De-
cember 5, and the race will end 142
hours later. The fastest kind OF
board track has been laid in the vast
amphitheatre, measuring ten laps 10
the mile. Great care has been taken In
it's construction, so that there may be
no question afterward as to genuine
ness of the records because OF the
course being short, as was the case last
year.
After last years contest it was free
ly predicted by the experts that the
records then made would stand for a
long time, but the management hopes,
if possible, to rival them in the forth
coming event To that end the most
notable long distance riders in this
country have been secured, and James
Acuueuy, Iu0 I0pI SStuldClFC VI LAO
American Cycle Racing Association,
who went abroad for talent, has secur-
ed number of the best men that
Europe can boast.
A more representative field of start
ers for an affair of this sort has never
been seen. There will be about 80
contestants all told, it being the desire
of the management to keep the entries
within that number, as more would be
unwieldy on the limited space necessi-
tated by an indoor track and would
cause frequent accidents. Among the
riders will be Americans, Englishmen,
Swiss, Irishmen, Germans, Swedes
and Frenchmen. Several old favorites
will start, and much new and promis-
ing talent will be seen.
Notable among the starters will be
Charles W. Miller the winner of last
years contest. and Teddy Hale, the
popular Irishman who scored a victory
in 1896. Another crack from the En-
erald Isle, with a big reputation on the
other side of the water, has come over
and is expected to give his countryman
