It is a matter of record that remarkab bly,
fast racing men suffer repeated defeats
at the hands of practically second-rate
riders. This is attributed to the fact
that while the former have the speed,
they lack head work, and are at a loss
how to maneuver in a big field at the fin
ish Of a race. One OF the most important
objects of all the big riders in contest
is to get a desirable position at the start
and maintain a good place throughout
On this account II will be noticed that all
the noted riders make practice of Sc
lecting one man to push them off in all
their races. 1t is at this point that the
tactics of the riders differ. Some de-
mand that a strong man should shove
them of in their races. in order that they
may take good jump at the outset, and
secure the pole. A majority favors
fairly strong push. in order to secure
good position in advance. but at the same
time avoid the necessity of doing the
pace work. The most successful men
maintain that outside of speed the chief
characteristics of a good racer are
clear head, the ability to think and act
quickly. and the nerve to take chances
in big bunch. 1t is conceded that i'm all
races of an ordinary character the most
advantageous position Is second place
until the final sprint. This enables

AnaIostan Boat Club.

The same air of prosperity surrounds
the AnaIostan Boat Club which pervades
all the boat houses on the river and this
season promises TO be one of the most ac-
tive in the latter-day history of the
famous old club.
The membership has increased to a re-
markable degree and the amount Of good
rowing material on hand has never been
so large and if the club had decided to
go in for a joint Potomac River regatta
this season it would have made win
ming showing against all comers.
The pleasure of the club members and
their friends is being looked after with
considerable energy by the amusement
committee. An important number on the
list of events was held on Thursday even
ing at the boathouse. and was in the
shape of a big musicale, in which club
talent and a number of local volunteers
appeared. 1t goes without saying that
the affair was d great success. Among
other future events Will be stag parties
and several club regattas.
A number of the members will go TO
Philadelphia next Sunday to take in the
big July 4 peoples regatta.
Two large barge parties are being ar
ranged for the coming week. Tanne.-

When that gentleman appeared, he
made speech to the caucus III which
he said i'll substances:
Gentleman, publicly and before the
people, am and must be a Republican.
But assure you and pledge you that
if elected to the United States senate
by this fusion will stand upon the
Chicago platform.
This pledge was satisfactory and the
caucus declared for McKisson for both
the long and short term;

Mayor NICK sson denies that he
pledged himself to free silver or to
stand on the ChicaSo platform, when
calle into the Democratic caucus. The
Democrats and others present confirm
this report, and state that Mayor Nc
Kisson said he was bimetallist and
opposed to the policy of Secretary Gage,
but he would not stand for the free and
unlimited coinage of silver. The %,
position to Hanna has evidently given
up the hope of having any chances on

consideration, perfect quiet immedi-
ately reigned.
The people realized that the begin.
ming of the end had come, and that
within few minutes the vote that
would largely determine who would be
the next United States senator would
come. Every senator was in his seat to
record his action At the side of many
sat ladies and friends whom they had
brought in.
It was Just II o'clock when Senator
Sullivan arose to nominate Senator
Hanna. During the delivery of the ad-
dress, it was somewhat remarkable
scene. The senators sat perfectly quiet,
facing the speaker. Crowded into the
hall were hundreds of people, taking
up every possible foot of space and yet
not sound could be heard, save the
words of the speaking senator.
AS Senator Burke pronounced the
name of McKisson there was perfect
silence, and this feeling could be
plainly seen in the faces of the au-
diences. Senator Wolcott of Cleveland
Immediately seconded the nomination
of Senator Hanna. The nomination of
Mayor McKisson was seconded by Sem
ator Finck. Lieutenant Governor Jones
then announced the ballot would be
taken by the senators rising in their
seats and naming their choice. The
vote for the short term resulted: Hanna
II, McKisson ~.
The vote in the senate stood 10 for Nc
Kisson and II for Hanna, the same as
on the ballot for the long term With
the II in the senate and 56 in the house
Hanna had just the requisite 73 votes
for his election, with all preseut, but
in the absence of Representative Cra-
mer, who is dangerously sick, Hanna
has one to spare.
Senator Burke of Cleveland was the
only Republican in the senate who did
not vote for Hanna. Senator Voight,
the fusionist from Cincinnati, voted for
Hanna, as did all the fusion Republic
cans from Hamilton county except
Otis, who did not produce the dramatic
scene that had been announced, and
was generally expected.
A remarkable scene took place in the
senate chamber when the vote from
the house was announced. The Repub-
lican senators, inspired by the encour-
ment, stood in their chairs and upon
the floor and shouted themselves hoarse
with calls for Hanna and victory.
Nothing like it was ever seen in any
Ohio senate chamber. Whats the
matter with HANNAH" they shouted,
and the call came back, He's all
right.
II was several minutes before the hall
was cleared.
Scene Of Conflict Changed.
Early in the morning the scene of
conflict was transferred from the Neil
House and the Great Southern hotel to
the halls Of the legislature. At an
early honr the state house was crowded
by those interested in the proceedings
The effort to keep out the noisy ele-
ments by having admission by ticket

was free-for.a rush for the galleries
and the lobbies. The conference COM

son was seconded by Jones of Stark
county, also Republican. The Demo-
Gratis took no part, except in voting and
applauding.
Jones applauded President Mckinley
in his speech, and denounced Senator
Hanna.
Representative Droste announced
that he had intended to present the
name of Jeptha Garrard, but he would
not now do so, at the request of that
gentleman.
The cheering as the names of Griffith
OF Union, Manuel of Montgomery,
Joyce Of Guernsey, Droste, Kemper and
Lane of Hamilton were cast for Hanna,
was tremendous. Representative Otis
desired to explain his vote, but was
shut off under the rules, and the ball
loting went on with cheers in the gat-
Z lery for Hanna.

announced as Hanna 56 McKls.

there was considerable stir on
the Democratic side. Speaker Mason
announced that Marcus A. Hanna hav-
ing received a majority of the vote in
the house was the choice Of that body
for the short term. The cheering out
side the halls for Hanna was re-echoed
in the ears of the mebers as the result
was announced.
The ballot was then taken for the
long term, and it resulted the same, its
announcement being greeted with
another long and loud demonstration.
On both ballots, Representative Cramer
was absent, and there were thus only
108 votes cast as follows:
Hanna 56; McKisson 40; Wiley i;
Warner I; Lentz /; absent /.

from the votes cast, but none is expect
ed, as the canvass has been so close and
thorough.
When the two houses adjourned there
was a general stampede for the Neil
house to congratulate Senator Hanna
on the result of the balloting. The feel
ing for him became intensely strong
because of the charges of attempted
bribery that had been made by his enc
mics against some of his friends. As
many believed the charges to have been
sprung for effect on the eve of the bal
loting, there were many who said the
charges did Hanna more good than
harm.
Hanna Responded Briefly.
Senator Hanna responded to the re-.
peated calls from his friends and in an
sWer to their demands made a speech
eongratulating them on behalf of the
Republican party for the auspicious
outcome.
''It is not so much a matter of per-
sonality with me, said he, ''as it is a
question of keeping the pledges and up
holuing the integrity of the party, and
Of giving heed to the will of the peo-
pie. .
The excited crowd lifted the senator
from the floor, and man after man en-
braced him while others were shaking
both hands. Finally the crowd was
held back and got into line and fully
an hour the senator stood and grasped
the hands and listened to the exultant
congratulations of the crowd.
