cycle track during the coming outdoor
season on the National Track Team
association, has defeated most of Eu-
ropes best men, including Michael
Huret, Bouhourg, Bauge. Jacquelin
Lesna and Stocks. Linton says that
his best distance is fifty miles. France

country. Linton has held worlds rec
Ords for the hour at four different
times, and his last record was 81 miles,
1872 yards. Stocks, however, advanced

purpose in view, the defeat 1t an early
day of Jimmy Michael 1t is no secret
that the succession Of victories, with
the consequent cash emoluments won

In connection, however, with this mat

important question is that Of paccmak-

years of age, in 1896. He showed good
form as an amateur, winning a num-
Der of important races. He joined the
professional class in the winter of 1896,
at the Winter track, in Paris, finishing
fourth in a three days race of So SO
and 100 kilometres. The opening of the
outdoor season found Taylore with the
champions. He won the fifty-kilo-
metre race from Bonhours, and repeat

month later The yuunEster demon
strated his championship qualities by
winning the renowned Grand PriX de
Paris, in July, defeating Champion
Rourette and Lartiquie. Tom Linton

satisfied, challenged Taylore. They
raced a month later, and Taylore beat
Michaers townsman by two laps. His
riding in the Paris des Princes, in
Paris, was sensational to say the least
In this country he has shown wonder

Every once in a while some adventurous

entangled with a cyclone and has an alb
rupt descent. The building of aerial ve-
hicles which are intended to travel
through the blue empyrean'' comfor-
tably and dangerless has long been the
dream not only of irrational and chimer-
ical people, but of really scientific minds
But the idea of huge aerial machines ira

DR.. A. A. Dinsmore, financial agent of the
college and chairman of the board Of aid,
read his report and later commented on It.
The synod of California had paid in the
past year s279S toward the erection and
maintainance of colleges and academies.
OF this sum the Presbytsrians of Los Ange-
les contributed the greater part. at the rate
of 30 cents from each member, while San
Francisco only sent in on an average of
mills from each member.
Much of Dr. Dinsmores report was lee
ture on the evils of anti-Presbyterianism
He said he had been following the reports
and accounts of the spiritual training of
the students in Berkeley and Stanford uni
versities, and his conclusion was that the
$500 youths in these colleges needed relig-
ious training and he hoped this necessity
would be supplied. He disagreed with DR..
Jordan that there were too many colleges,
believing that If more of them incorporated
the teaching of Christianity into their cur
riculum much good would be accomplished.
The cost of the new Occidental college
building is $4,000. The board in aid of
Presbyterian colleges in Chicago promise
to give 5000 of this amount If the local
churches can raise the balance. This has
only been accomplished in part. there being
still $500 lacking. The speaker suggested
that contributions be made by the dele
gates to the presbytery, explaining in detail
the reasons therefore. A canvass was made
by DR.. Dinsmore and $500 subscribed. 1t Is
thought the balance will be raised during
