smoker without Smoke.

The smoker without smoke at Englishs
Opera House last night was a success, both
in the auditorium and on the stage. Those
in charge of the entertainment designed it
for ladies particularly. 1t was expected the
men who were looking for an uproarious
good time would go to the Park. The opera
house was filled to the walls upstairs and
down. The audience was of high order.
and it's greater part was of ladies and their
escorts. Captain Will English, wearing his
uniform, and Mrs. English occupied box.
Richards, Richards & Pringles and russo
& Hollands MINISTRIES furnished the first
part of the entertainment. The curtain rose
on the usual minstrel first-part scene.
Coon songs and bright new jokes formed
the programme. Billy Kersands, the old
timer found many old friends in the au-
dience and made new ones. The audience
was lavish in its applause, and its patriotic
enthusiasm hared up at every mention of
the flag, or the victories of the United
States army and navy.
Richardson and Mclean, clever trick BIZ
cycle riders, opened the second part of the
entertainment. Gauze female impersonator
who Is familiar to Park Theater patrons,
followed. John L. Summers and Charles ii.
Henner gave an exhibition of skillful bag
punching, and the programme ran pleasant
ly on with clever dancing and singing. Pref
ty little Kittie Beck, a member of Murray
& Mack'S company, and the Trumbull sis
tiers, who are Ollie Mack's sisters added to
the liveliness of the evening. The entertain
ment ended with "whirlwind' acrobatic
act of five Arabs. There was considerable
movement among those of the audience who
could not find seats, and many wheelmen
circulated between the opera house and the

Enjoyable Country Runs for the Cy-

large yesterday as the promoters of the

five hundred in all presented their tickets
and received badges from the registration
committee during the day. The Meet Club
members, while feeling somewhat disap
pointed at the poor showing made in the
way of outside attendance, will continue
with the original programme to the end and
give the boys present time they will be
likely to remember for some time, 1t was
expected there would be at least two thou
sand outsiders here yesterday, and when few
of them turned up and no word was re-
ceived to indicate there being more on the
road here, a somewhat gloomy feeling set
tied over those having charge of the ar
rangements for the meet.
As soon as the races commenced. what
crowd there was on the streets up to that
time seemed to disappear and during the
afternoon the streets seemed to have only
the usual crowd Of home people on them.

great bicycle races" 1t is a dark secret
as to whether John Jones, of Glens Valley,
Ind, and Tommy Twaddles, of Upton, will
be the hot competitors of Eddie Bald and
Tom Cooper Owing to the queer manage
ment of the affair the public will have to
guess; that is, if the public is willing to pay
a stiff price for this pleasure and has no
more money with which to buy pro-

paid and the spectator gets his seat, per-

scheme to decrease interest in bicycle races

has done in the present instance. A man is
not fond of going to a bicycle race feeling
that he is gouged after he has paid his adj
mission fee, for he will be unable to under
stand or ascertain anything about the races
unless he buys one of the programmes,
plain card for which there is a charge of
10 cents. He can find out nothing in the
newspapers in advance, for the manage
ment refuses to give out the entries. The
whole thing, said the bicyclist has the eff
feet of creating distrust in the entertain
meat. Yesterday the programmes for the
afternoon events did not get into the east
amphitheater until after the first event.

THE CENTURY TO NEW CASTLE.
A Pace Maker Hurt--State Record
Smashed.

SmaSneus
TEDDY" Edwards was not the only
century speeder in town yesterday by any
means. party of fifteen men were on
hand yesterday morning at $50 for the
century run to New Castle, and started
off with enthusiasm. w. H. Shell, of Cir
cleville O., and Fremont Harris, of this
city, alternated in pacing the party over
the entire distance and seemed tireless in
their work. Until Greenfield was reached
there was no attempt made to scorch, but
rather to warm up all the riders for the
long stretch before them. Arriving there
large delegation of citizens was met, who
lined up on both sides of the road, waving
their hats and otherwise testifying to their
good will for the hundred-mlers. The first
stop was made at Knightstown, where the
riders were met by p. G. Nay and called
in for refreshments. Somewhat braced up
by this, the men started off at a. lively clip
for Dublin. Harris was pacing the bunch
and was working at top speed. Just as the
outskirts of the town were reached buggy
started across the road in front of Harris,
who, in seeking to avoid a collision, ran
straight into the vehicle. When the other
riders had stopped and helped Harris to his
feet it was found he had received q bad
cut on the scalp, which bled profuselt, be-
side badly wrenching his shoulder. He was
patched up in a few minutes, however, and
gamely started in the lead again, seeming
10 SuHer little from MS m1X-up.
Reaching New Castle, the party set out
on the return trip. Harris and Shell were
by this time we'll warmed up and started out
to lower the state century record If possible.
The pace set by the men brought protests
from the rest of the riders, but they paid no
attention to them and kept on, gradually
leaving the bunch in their rear. The run
to the city was uneventful and the party
reached here badly strung out over the
road. Harris and Shell stuck together to
the end and finished in the record breaking
hours and fifteen minutes.
irving here at lis p. m. E. F. Harmed ar
rived at 2S5 and the rest at intervals dur
ing the afternoon. Those finishing the run
were Frank Douglass, of indianapolis;
Adam Hopes, of Muncie, and Charles Pen
dleton, of Kankakee, ILL.,, besides those al
ready mentioned.
