New York, Aug 27,-'Maj." Taylor, the
colored cyclist, met and defeated Jimmy"
Michael, the little Welshman, in a special
match race, best two out of three, one
mile paced heats, from a standing start,
at the Manhattan Beach cycle track this
afternoon.
Michael won the first heat easily, as Tay-
Tors pacing quint broke down in the final
lap but on the next two heats Michael
was so badly beaten and distanced that
he quit each time in the last lap.
Taylor's work was wonderful, both from
racing and time standpoint, and he es-
tablished a new worlds record, which was
absolutely phenomenal. covering the third
heat in la 2-5.
Michael was Kissed by the spectators as
he passed the stand dispirited and detected
by Taylor's overwhelming victory.
Immediately after the third heat was
finished, and before the time was an

pioned the colored boy during the entire
season, issued a challenge to race Taylor

shouts by the assemblage. and the dusky

The Welsh rider was as pale as a corpse

Like the soldiers, horses have to be

they have to be branded with redhot

TwO-thirds of the Geographical
Names in the New World.

TwO-thirds of the Geographical
Names in the New World.
From the Rochester Post-Express.
Two-third of the geographical names In
the new world to-day are of Spanish deri-
walton. and they are found abundantly in
every walk of life. Take, for instance, the
favorite Southern word, "pickaninny." 1t
is not native of Dixie. 1t came from
Cuba, where is was 'piquinine" Our
word negro" was taken directly from
the Spanish negro" meaning black, and
that common Ethiopian nickname, Sam
bo," is from the Castilian "Zambo," mean
ing bow-legged. "Mulatto and quad
room are of the same parentage One
of the words heard every day on our
streets is "Dago," the offspring of the
Spanish patron saint, "Deigo' (James)
1t would be difficult for our housewives
to make pumpkin pie without 'colan-
der" but the New England woman would
never dream of giving credit to the Span
lard for the name-"colador. The doc
tor would be the poorer for the loss of
several of his pet terms. "Quinine"
Spanish "quina') was discovered by the
Countess of Chinchon, Vice Queen of
Peru, in 1881. Cocaine is from the Span
ish coca" that marvellous plant of the
Andes, which Is food, drink and lodging
to the Indians of Peru and Bolivia. "Japa'
comes from 'jalapa," and sarsaparilla"
is another debt We owe to the Spanish
vernacular over 400 years ago Columbus
added a word TO the Spanish language, a
word which all lazy Americans should
hold in affection. 1t was an Indian word
which Columbus represented by "hama-
ca" and the transition to hammock Is
not very difficult. In the light of present
events there is a trace of subtle irony in
the fact that there would have been no
"grenadiers" at Bunker HiH, except for
Spain, since the "hand-grenade" and the
"grenadier'' both get their names from
the city of Grenada. Our national no.
menclature is particularly rich in Span
ish names. Colorado, the red; Texas, the
tiles: Nevada the snowy; Florida, the
fiowery; and Utah, New Mexico, Arizona
and California We're all named by The
Spanish long before any Notwithstanding
person ever heard of them. The Spanish
seamen who We're captured at Santiago
could give our men several interesting
lessons in etymology. "Capstan" is of
Spanish invention, from "cabestran," rope
winder, and 'caravel" "fotilla," "arma-
da" and "galeon" need no introduction
Even the word mariner is of spanish
nationality, the original being ''marinero'
The geographer would be swamped IL he
were to make a list of the Spanish words
proper and generic, to which he is in
