The other churches were alive with
their usual services.
Quite number of our people spent
last Sunday in the tidewater district.
The Athenian Social Club gave their
outing at Mt. Pleasant on last Tuesday

MARVELLOUS WORK.
Taylor's work was wonderful, both
from racing and time standpoint. and
he established q new worlds record
which was absolutely phenomenal, COW
ering the third heat in l Al ? 3.
Michel was hIssed by the spectators
as he passed the stand, dispirited and
dsj jected by Taylor's overwhelming
victory.
Immediately after the third heat was
finished, and bef re the time was an
nounced, William A. Bradley. who
championed the colored boy during
the entire season, is sued q challenge Co
race TAYLOR against Michael for $5. 600
or SO 600 side at any distance up TO
one hundred miles.
THE CoLoRED YOUTH LIONIZED.
This declaration was received with
tumultuous shouts by the ass ss9mblage,
and the colored victor was lionized
when the time was made known.
Edouard Taylore, the French rider,
held the worlds record of 40 3 5 for
the distance in a contest paced from a
standing start.
THE WORLDS RECORD LOWERED.
The worlds record against time from
a standing start, made by Platt Belts
or England. was l :43 2-5. Michael beat
Tavlore's record by p seconds in the
first heat, but Major Taylor wiped this
out and tied Belts record against time
| in the second heat. AS Taylor was or
the outside for nearly two and hall
| laps, it was easily seen that he rode
more than q mile in the time, and
shrewd Judges who watched the race
said that he would surely do better or
the third attempt.
PALE AS A CORPSE.
That he fully justified this belle
goes without saying.
The Welsh rider was pale as a CORPSE
when he jumped of his wheel and ha(
no excuse to make for his defeat. TaY.
lor's perform ance undoubtedly stamp
him as the premier cycle sprinter o
the world. and, judging from the stay
ing qualities he exhibited in his ST.
days ride in the Madison Square Gar
den, the middle distance championship
may be his before the end of the pres
ent season.
WEATHER CONDITIONS PERFECT.
The weather conditions colId no
have Deen more perfect, as there wa
only light wind, and it Cid not retarl
the speed Of the riders in the slightes
degree.
The American Cycle Racing Associs
tion induced Tom Linton, of Wales t.
postpone his departure for England
and Michel and he have been matche,
for an hour race. with unlimited pace

spanIards been aware of the condition
OF the American army, its inability to
Withstand the hardships of q campaign,
its lack of medical and other supplies

American Officers now in Cuba and

lis believed by officials in washing
ton that had 1t mot been for the outcry
made regarding the army, and the con-
duct OF the war, that there never would
have been any question raised by the
Spanish peace commissioner regarding
the Cuban debt.
Another matter that causes grave con-
slderatlon in the war department Is the
temper of the spanIards in Cuba and the
fear that the impression which now pre-
walls there may lead them to regard
the American troops of not much ac-
count and act accordingly after the oc-
cupancy by the United States. The
matter has been discussed In the war de-
partment and It Is probable thar when
the troops are sent to Cuba there will be
force OF such size ana character as to
give the islanders different impression
Of United States soldiers than they now
entertain.
