HE HAS GOOD THING
Gets $4,000 a Year as SD

And the Term is Fourteen
Years Long.

New York, Oct. 3.-While Justice Van
Wyck, Democratic nominee for COVER
nor, received the usual impetuous or
polite congratulations, there also We're
many real friends who sympathized
with him. It is believed that his broth
er encouraged him to accept and that
Mclaughlin will urge him to, but his
intimate friends pleaded with him to
decline, unless he could get some guar
antee that the powers will provide for
him should he fail to be elected COVER
nor.
The news that he was really nom
mated was brought to the justice in the
court house. He became angry. I
don't want this nomination" he said
to some of his friends. Il want to stay
right here on the bench. I feel reason
ably sure of being reelected to this
place, but I don't feel sure of being
elected governor.

IT PROVES EXPENSIVE
NEW BICYCLE TRACK MORE COSTLY
THAN WAS ANTICIPATED.
Indiana Tour Book--Contest Between
Titus and McDufie-The Boys
Road Race.

The INDIANAPOLIS Track Company has
awarded the contract for the erection of the
grandstand at the track. 1t went to Henry
Dolman, the contractor who is building the
track. There were six bids. as follows:
James E. Shower, $10,SO0; John A. Schu-
macher. $1,000; II. j. Morse & Son, 81, 4S7. so;
]. c. Pierson & Son. $7,45O; Henry Dolman.
$500.
The lowest bid was in the neighborhood Of
1000 more than the company had calcu-
lated to pay for the grandstand, and it was
necessary to cut out some features to bring
the cost down to the appropriation. The
specifications called for two amphitheaters
with O seating capacity of 1850, the roof
to be of shingles Two sections of the
grandstand were omitted, giving a seating
capacity of only 2,1OO, and it was agreed to
make the roof of iron. This brought the
cost down close to the limit, and the con-
tract was awarded.
Mr.. Dolman is under bond to complete the
grandstand and track by July 3, and the
contract entered into with him yesterday
places a penalty of SOS day for each day
after July 8 that the grandstand remains
unfinished. 1t is the intention to have am
pie seating capacity for the state meet,
July H.
The track committee still has to let the
contract for the bleachers. They will seat
1900 people and will cost about the same
as the grandstand. A high board fence will
be erected about the track, except at the
west entrance The track and grandstand
set back a distance of four hundred feet
from the street, and it is the intention to
make this park. Here will also be booths
for refreshments, wheel racks, etc.
The company has not yet decided on a
name for the new park. Mr.. Newly, presi-
dent Of the company, declares he will never
consent to have it called Newly Oval
Parkside Oval has been suggested, but in
view of the fact that there may never be a
park along Fall creek this is considered
somewhat ridiculous The contest is still
open, and the person who suggests an ac-
ceptable name will be well rewarded.

CITY FLORISTS CLUB.
To Head OF Flower Thieves-Trade IL
Falling on.

AT meeting of the City Florists Club,
last night, 1t was decided to continue to
offer rewards of SO for arrests and convic-
tons of flower thieves and to send to Mer-
chant Policeman Julian, who arrested a
woman for stealing flowers, the amount Of
the reward. 1t was understood by the club
that several flower thieves had been brought
before Police Judge Cox and had been let
go with lecture. A committee was APP
pointed to call on the judge and explain to
him that the evil is too impressive and ex-
tensive to be stopped by lectures and that
strong measures must be taken for the re-
lief of owners of flowers. 1t was reported
that on the South Side many families have
quit planting flowers in their yards because
thieves tear them up before but few nights
have passed
A communication was read from the Com
mercial Club stating that committee had
been appointed to act with the committee
of the Florists Club on the annual chrySan-
themum show 1t was decided not to make
any of the detail arrangements for the show
until September. 1t was stated that all fear
that no show will be held should be put
the annual show will occur as usual. Four
teen members of the club stated that they
intend to attend the annual meeting of the
State Florists Association, at Richmond,
Saturday July 2
Opinions of the members of the club were
asked on the condition of business. The gem
eral sentiment seemed to be that the trade
in flowers is not as good as in former years.
In connection with this it asked that
the management of Crown Hill Cemetery be
informed that the florists hear many COM
plants that flowers and vases are being
stolen from the graves at the cemetery.
