TAYLoRE DEFEATS WERNER.

Philadelphia, May 30.-Edouard Tay-
lore, champion of France, today defeated
Joe Vernier, of Philadelphia, in match
race for 20 miles at the Decoration Day
meet at Willow Grove bicycle track. The
race was brilliant one from start to
finish and was replete with dasEes of
speed on the part of the contestants.
Taylore was first away at the pistol shot
and led for lap, when he lost his pace,
Vernier taking first position and leading
at the first mile in 1.52 As. Vernier held
close to his pace teams and led at the
second and third miles, being then a lap
ahead of Taylore. This position was
maintained until after the tenth mile,
Vernier crossing first at each mile.
While on the back stretch of the first
lap of the eleventh mile, quad pacing
Vernier made bad spill, upsetting
Vernier. This gave Taylore big adj
vantage and he closed up the gap be-
tween him and Vernier and went ahead.
The Philadelphia boy got himself to-
gether and went after Taylore but was
unable to catch him, the Frenchman
steadily increasing his lead until he
crossed the finish line, one and one half
laps ahead of the local rider. Taylore's
time for the 20 miles was 81 minutes and
10 seconds.
New records were established at the
third, fourth and sixth miles, the time
being respectively: 5.24 2-5, 7.09 3-5,
TO- As is.
In the only other professional event,
Major Taylor, the colored rider, won by
a splendin squirt. Attendance 5000.

BERTHoLDi CALLS US DOWN.
Effort to Promote Good Feeling with
France Meets Frost.

Paris, May 30.-With view to check
the blatant pro-Spanish feeling here and
enlist the sympathies of Frenc hmen on
the side Of America, special effort was
made by the American colonies today to
do honor to the memory Of Lafayette. A
big gathering proceeded to his tomb In
Picpus cemetery, which was decorated
with wreaths and mutual flags. The
United States ambassador, Gen. Horace
Porter, deposited the American wreaths
and in an eloquent speech referred to
Americas debt to Lafayette and the
"Unbreakable ties betwesn the two coun-
tries"
He was warmly applauded.
M. Bertholdi followed in the same
strain. But he said he deplored the fact
that it had been revealed that there ex-
listed a new spirit among modern Ameri-
cans which differed from the traditions
Of the founders of the republic.
Continuing NJ. Bertholdi said French
men looked to Gen. Porter and Ameri-
cans like him to "Keep the United States
faithful to the great principles OF liberty
and justice VIII ich presided at the birth
of the republic" aRw
The military band present played the
American and French anthems and all
those who attended the ceremonies defiled
before the tomb.

TOO SPEEDY FOR BANCROFT.

Key West, May SO-The unknown
steamer, supposed to be Spanish auxil-
larry cruiser sighted by the Wilmington
and Bancroft about Is miles off Key West
early on Thursday evening was not cap
tursd. The Bancroft gave up the chase.
The Wilmington first sighted the
stranger, 1t now appears, and was about
to steam after her when the Bancroft
came along and asked ifsshe had seen
anything of four masted steamer with a
yellow smokesrack. The Wilmington told
her OF the unknown vessel she had just
observed, which had three masts and one
smokestack and the Bancroft started in
pursuit
The stranger put on all steam when she
saw she was being chased, and made
OF at 16 knot clip. She had too big a
lead on the Bancroft and the latter after
chasing her an hour and half gave it
up.
Just before the Bancroft abandoned the
pursuit, however, the unknown hoisted
her colors, but night was falling and
the gunboat was unable to make them
out. The officers of the Bancroft believe
the ship they chased was British vessel
and that it was the British flag which
was displayed, but they cannot account
for her running away.
During the chase the Bancroft held up
a number of ships which were released
after establishing their neutrality.
