Bicycle Path.

From the Press:
The board of directors of the Cycle
Path cl ub held a meeting at the Y. M.
@. A. parlors last evening and transacted
much important business. An active
canvass will be made with a view to ex-
tending the path towards Durand.
The '9S cycle path button is a beauty
and should be worn by every wheelman
who enjoys the finest cycle path in
Michigan.
Steps were taken last night toward ar
ranging for grand bicycle ball and pic
mic Friday evening, June "a, at Caledonia
Park.
The members of the board are much
pleased with the interest mantle sted by
Owosso wheelmen generally in this en-
terprise and expect to be able to interest
many more this season than last.
Every cyclist should show his appre-
citation of such an elegant path by be-
coming member of the club and there
by assist in extending the good work
calculated to benefit wheelmen generally.

Detroit's Great Blue Ribbon Meeting.

All the indications show that Michigan
will again contribute its share of sensation
to the glorious and ever popular American
sport of harness racing this year. This Is
particularly true of Detroit, whose Blue
Ribbon meeting is an event OF national i'm
portance and is fittingly placed at the head
of the famous series known as the Grand
Circuit. While there are a myriad tracks
in all parts of the country ambitious to be
known as the best, the splendid grounds of
Detroit Driving Club are by common con-
sent pronounced the finest place in the world
for big trotting carnival.
The enterpris that secured the land for
the magnificent course at Crosse Pointe and
equipped it as no other track is fitted 20 &C
cOmodate its patrons, did not stop there.
Realizing that 1t always takes money to
make the mare go, the Detroit Club gives
bigger purses and offers greater induce
ments for fast miles than any other member
of the Grand Circuit There is nothing to
compare in value with its famous Merchants
aud Manufacturers stake throughout the
length and breadth of the summer tour with
the sulkies. When the tenth of the exct-
ing races for this rich prize is decided on
July 10, the sum of $103, $50 will have been
distributed among the breeders and owners
who were lucky enough to win a share of
this stake which brings together the great
est trotters in the land. Michigan has car
ried off the coveted plum on two occasions;
the gray gelding, HendryX, from Dowagiac,
capturing the first race for the IN. and M. D."
in 1885, while three years later the young
man silva won great victory for the farm
at Clairview where she is still owned
The candidates for this season are twenty
in number and they represent the best blood,
and are being trained by the most skillful
reinsman on the turf. Them there is the
Chamber of Commerce stake of $4,000,
which is the largest amount offered to the
young PAGERS by any association. Like its
companion event for the trotters this race
has always been sensational and the horse
that wins 1t this year will have to reel off
the heats we'll below the 2. 10 mark.
Besides these two attractions three other
stakes and purses that foot up $1,000 have
received entries from all the crack stables.
This ensures the presence of the fastest
trotters and PAGERS now In training, and
Blue Ribbon week that extends from July
IS to 90 will be as before the greatest rae
ing event of the year.
The Detroit Driving Club employs the
best talent to officiate at its meetings and
the character of the sport at the Crosse
Pointe track is always above reproach.

WILLIAM A. FRENCH, the present eff
cient state land commissioner,!is candidate
for denomination for the Office he now holds,
and there is no reason why the state of
Michigan should not continue to be bene.
flied by his services. Mr.. French has
always been hard and earnest worker in
the republican ranks, while as legislator
a member of the republican state central
committee, land commissioner and private
citizen; and as a state officer has always had
the welfare of the state and people in gen.
eral at heart. Through his efforts the bene
fits of the land Office to the people have been
multiplied many times. He has stood for
the protection of the homesteaders who are
converting thousands of acres of Mchigan's
deserted lands into farms and homes. he
was instrumental in having passed the beet
sugar bounty law which encourages new
industry that promises to be of great good
to the state in general. AS member OF
the board of state auditors his duties have
been transacted in an unbiased manner, just
and fair to the state and all concerned. In
supporting Mr. French for denomination the
Sentinel is in accord with the leading repub-
lican papers of the state and we trust that
he will be given two years more in which to
continue and perfect the movements In that
department all of which are for the benefit
of the state and its residents. -Ionia Sentinel.
THE TIMES endorses all of the above
very cheerfully. Mr.. French has proven to
be just the man for commissioner and should
be renominated by reclamation.

E Pluribus Unum.

Though many and bright are the stars that APP
pear
In the flag OF our country unfurled,
Aud the stripes that are swelling In majesty
there,
Like a rain bow adjoining the world;
Their lights are unsullied az those in the sky,
BY the deeds that our fathers have done;
And they're leagued in as true and as holy
tie
In our motto Of many in one.
We are many in one where there glitters a star,
In the blue OF the heavens above;
And tyrants shall quail mid their dungeons
afar,
When they gaze on our motto of love,
1t shall CLEAN Der the sea mid the bolts of the
storm,
Over tempest and battle and wreck
And mid flames from our guns when with thun-
ders grow warm
Meath the blood on the slippery deck.
Mid the smoke of the contest the cannons' deep
roar,
How oft it hath gathered renown,
And those stars we're reflected in rivers of gore,
When the cross and the lion went down,
Though few were the lights in the gloom of that
hour;
Yet the hearts that were starlxing below,
Had God for their buiwark and truth for their
power,
And they stopped not to number the foe.
Then up with the flag, let II float in the air,
Though our fathers are cold in their graves;
They had hands that could strike, they had
souls that would dare,
And their sons were not born to be slaves.
Up. up with the banner when ere it may call,
Our millions shall rally around,
nation of free men that moment shall fall,
When the Stars shall be trailed on the ground.
AS sung by M. w. willoughby in 1s6l-65, and
