entertainment associated with place
of worship in a poor district in the
Midlands, one of the lay-workers, an
energetic, but not otherwise particu-

TO the chair. 1t was his first experi-
ence of the dignity, and he determined
TO show that he was quite eqnal to it.
His conduct was all that could be de.
sired until, in the course of a humor-
Gus recitation, the audience began to
laugh. "Silence, please" called the
chairman, in a persuasive tone. The
recitation proceeded, and, as in the
case of oliver Wendell Holmes print
er's boy, the laughter developed. This
was too much for the chairman's dig
nifty. Ladies and gentlemen, | will
have no laughing" he bawled, and if
this unseemly conduct continues shall

Trades and Labor Assembly Will again
insist that boVcotted bicycles be barred
from races run under Its ausplces-cer-
tainly It viii not be done again 80 long
as the L. A. W. controls bicycle racing.
In the late Labor Day bicycle races,
four wheels that are on the assembly's
boycott list were barred from entrance.
The entry blanks did not state this
fact, but the programme OF the races
stated that no prizes would be paid to
riders OF wheels under the ban. Herbert
Foltz, the member Of the L. A, w, rae
ing board controlling racing in this
section OF the country, has written the
following to the gentlemen who con-
Quoted the races for the assembly:
The racing board does not permit such
conditions to be placed upon entries to
sanctioned races. II alone decides what
entries shall be rejected, and the fact that
this man rides that or the other wheel ls
no reason whatever for the rejection OF
his entry. This same question came up
with Mr.. Mnhlko In connection with the
races given by the GlRsswOrkerB' Union,
on June II, and ! supposed the matter
had been so thoroughly explained to him
that Il would not occur again,
Under the circumstances, II becomes
necessary, therefore, that all future APP
pllcantS for races at Wheeling shall Ger:
tify that tho race1 will be conducted

turcrg Of tho wheels above mentioned, and;
while II may be impossible 20 make good
the wrong that has BEEN done, i y. how
ever, possible In the future TO guarantee
them that protection for which the rules
are provided.
Il will be seen that he infilcts PEN
altV upon this community for the act OF
the assembly. This Is not Justice. and
the penalty ought not to apply TO inno-
cent race promoters who had nothing to
do with the Labor Day affalr.
Mr.. Foltz IL In error In stating that
the entry blanks barred any particular
wheel. It Is true, however, that Wheel
men entering the races were asked
what wheel they intended riding, and
when one OF the four boycotted wheels
was mentioned, the rider was asked to
use another wheel,
1t was easy 10 be seen at the start OF
the races on Labor Day that there was
no sympathy In the barring ont OF ceF-
tain wneeis. In the future. II the
Trades Assembly desires bicycle races

have to stick It's boycott In its pocket,
