THE RACE MEET
HELD BY THE c. C. c. CLUB
LAST FRIDAY A SUCCESS.

WellingtOn's Star Rider. G. A. williams
Carries off lime and First Prizes in the
Twenty-miIe Road Race The Other
Events.
The first annual racemeet of the Cheese
City Cycling Club of this place, was held
Friday of last week. The work of the
riders was, generally good, but
two features, the calling off of the 2-mile
open, and the protesting of the boys
race in any way, marring the occasion.
The 20-mile road race to Litchfeld and
return was supposed to have been started
at 1890 as advertised, but, owing to de-
lays, the town clock struck one before
the timers and starters announced them
selves ready" The contestants were
fifteen in number: Geo. RObishaw and
A. +. Mills, both of this place, each with
a $3.50 handicap; F. Manville of Elyria,
2:30 handicap; C. W. Linder Of 0berlin,
and G. A. Williams of this place, 2 min
utes; Charles f. Sales of Milan, and +.
KrOgman of Elyria, 80 handicap; A.
Bishop and G. B. Pilot of Shelby, and W.
II. Stark and G. E. Phipps of Elyria,
minute; John Ray of Elyria, 30 seconds;
Bert Cuddeback and H. W. Sanford of
Elyria, both scratch. The reads were not
no perfect condition, which fact Of course
increases the merit due the winner, and
in fact all that finished, whether plize-
winners or not. In just One-half min
ute under the hour, Williams finish
ed, deducting his handicap of two min
utes, which time gave him the first as
well as time prize, the first prize being a
Mascot bicycle, and the time prize $l5
pair of Army and Navy field glasses. Will
Jams won the time prize by twenty sec
Onds. A. Bishop of Shelby, captured sec
Ond prize, and Pilot of the same place,
third, with Cuddeback fourth, and Ray
fifth, both of Elyria.
Race No. 2, for boys under II, was well
ridden, although no special time was
made, 243 1-5. In this race, there Oc-
Cured one Of the unpleasant things. F.
KrOgman of Elyria, the winner, when
The enterprise. [volume] (Wellington, Ohio) 188?-1899, 1898-07-27

asked his age, was very lOthe to state ex-
actly whether he was over or under II,
merely saying, 'Tm II years old" He
should not have been allowed to ride I'M
til the mystery regarding this point had
been cleared up, and not until his entry
had been accepted, the race had been
run, he had won, and public attention
had centered itself upon him, did the
fact force itself upon the minds of many
that the young gentleman in question
certainly looked to be more than II by at
least one, or two, or even three years.
The finish, as 1t stands under protest,
gave F. Krogman of Elyria, first; R. Can
field of Litchfeld, second; and H. Stokes
Of Shelby, third.
For some unknown reason, race No. 4
was the next called, the 2-mile open.
Five men started with time limit of
4:3O. In the finish, Robbins won out in
5:25, with John Ray close second, R.
West third, and Bert Cuddeback fourth,
all of Elyris. Considering the time lin
it previously announced, the judges en-
tered verdict OF mo race" Some lively
kicking ensued, and the riders came ont
second best, as the race was run over
later.
The last race called, except the second
trial of the 2-mile open, was theI5-mile
handicap. Eleven men started and four
finished. R. West Of Elyria, took first by
Out-sprinting Leon Adams half a wheels
length at the tape; L. R. Adams. second;
W. H. Stark of Elyria, third; and John
Edwards Of this place, fourth; time,
1443.
The 2-mile open was again called, and
the time limit increa Jed One-half minute,
making it fiat minutes. Before start
ing, the men were cautioned to ride in
side the time, or the verdict Of mo race"
would still hold, and with the usual
'tOtal depravity of all inanimate OBJ
jects," instead of lOafing only so seconds
as they had done the previous heat, 'just
for luck" presumably, they increased it
IS seconds. In the awarding of prizes,
the first heat will be recognized, the fin
ish Of which was as follows: Robbins
Of MiddletOwn, first; John Ray, secOndi
R. West, third; Bert Cuddeback, fourth;
all Of Elyria.
Just previous to the calling out OF the
smile handicap, H. W. Sanford rode an

Musty Money.

The LOudenville Advocate says about
$1,000 has been subscribed from that
bank to the popular war loan. One of the
many good things about this war loan is
the fact that thousands Of dollars which
have been buried for years have been
dug up and put into circulation. One
man who took $1,000 in these popular
war loan bonds, brought the sum to the
bank in bills of denominations ranging
from twOs to twenties, and the money
was in currency greenbacks over thirty
years old. Some Of the bills were so worn
as to be almost useless so far as handling
is concerned. not worn from handling,
but from decay. They were musty old
bills.

OF the total enrolment, but Is pupils
were in school less than three months,
only two of whom were in the high
school. With little exception, the work
throughout the year in all the grades
was very satisfactory. In view of the
excellent condition in which the schools
closed the year, and with the prospect of
all increased enrolment of foreign
pupils, we are looking forward with
bright anticipatiOns to the work Of the
coming year. Your action in adding
drawing, under special teacher, to our
course of study in all the grades, am
sure will meet the hearty concurrence of
all our people.
The special teacher in penmanship

Cleveland, comes with excellent recon-

warm welcome from our teachers and
pupils

feeling assured of its continuance, |

They even went so far as to offer liberal

SPAIN, THROUGH FRANCE,
ASKS FOR NEGOTIATIONS.

NJ. COmbOn Takes the Message to Pres.
Mckinley, who Reserves his Answer,
Promising to lay the Matter Before the
Cabinet.
Yesterday, Spain made the first over
lures looking towards peace. She asks
that negotiations for the cessation of hos
tilities be opened. Since the retirement
OF Polo de Beruabe, the last Spanish min
lister, CambOn has upon request Of the
Spanish foreign station, taken the rains
of Spanish diplomacy in this country in
his hands. He is the present French am
bassadOr to this country.
The only satisfaction gotten by Spain
in this her last move, is the promise on
the part Of Mckinley to lay the matter
before the cabinet and make final an
swer in two or three days.

would rest on a more wierd and mag
nlfcent view.
Towering above all the rest is the
famous peak which first received it's
name from it's discOverer, Zebulon
Pike. At it's foot lies the 1ourishing
town of Colorado Springs. Six miles
to the west Nesting among the hills
which surrounded it on every side but
one is situated the beautiful noun
tain resort forinvalids and tourists, the
city Of ManitOu. 1t is here that the
famous soda, iron and sulphur springs
issue from the ground and to which
people flock from all parts of the
country to drink the water.
From Manitou a railroad commonly
called the cog road has been built to
the summit of Pixies Peak, nine miles
distant. AS long as the weather per-
mits, a train runs up to the peak daily
carrying sightseers, but many prefer
to walk, as they can then take their
time to observe the magnificent views
revealed at nearly every step.
With a party Of sixteen, three OF
whom were ladies, we left Manitou at
7 o'clock in the evening, intending to
see the sun rise from the summit.
For the first three miles the route lay
through a deep gorge down which
a mountain stream tumbled, dashing
it's waters into foam. On either side
lowered the mountain high overhead.
After emerging from this gorge the
trail extended along the south side of
the mountain. Below one can look
down thousands of feet into a beauti-
full little lake; above US on the other
side ere gigantic rocks reaching up
ward as far as the eye could see.
Until within two and me half-miles of
the top the mountain is covered with
trees, but above that height nothing
grows.
Another turn in the road about one
and One-half miles from the summit,
known as Windy Point, brought us
around on the west side of the mount
ain. By this time it had grown ex-
tremely cold and snow was to be seen
IN corners not exposed to the sun.
Many Of the party were growing ia
tigued and numerous stops were made
to rest. No one in our party was
overcome by the altitude. The only
affect | could perceive was a little
deeper breathing and more rapid pull
sations Of the heart. From timber
line until the summit was reached we
were envelOped in dense clouds, pass
ing out Of n only to enter another.
At last the summit is reached and we
have an hour to wait for sunrise.
bonfires were built to keep US
warm, the temperature having fallen
way below freezing.
Never did the sun seem more well
come to me than on this never to be
forgotten morning. The view at sun
rise is indescribable. Below at ourfeet
lay the cities of Colorado Springs and
Creek; away to the west
cross the parks could be seen the
tall peaks of the main ridge of the
Rockies, and to the east and south for
a hundred miles stretched the vast
of Colorado. After admiring
the view for several hours we began
our descent, which did not require
much more than half the time it took
to climb up, but which Jared every
bone in our bodies. We arrived at
Manitou thoroughly tired, but never
theless satisfied that we had seer one
of the grandest sights that this country
of ours has to offer. F. P. d.
