full lap during the transfer and as Michael could do nothing with his new machine he left the track, coming on again after the machine had been re- paired, but not in any sense a com petitor. He rode In all six and two- thirds miles.
 McDuffie continued to reel off the miles during all this time, cutting record after record, until at the end of the fifteenth mile and the race he was 20 3-5 seconds better than the worlds s record. held by himself
 The men took their positions and at the word were off like flash. Michael caught his team first and opened up a gap of forty yards before McDuffie was well started. The pace was terrific, and at the end of the first mile the watches recorded 1:46 2-5 against 1:48 3-5, the former worlds record, made by Bikes in his race with Martin week ago. The two miles were ridden In 3:24 3-5, a gain of 4 3-5 on the pre- vious two mile record. Michael had added two more records to his credit when his machine went down and he was out of the race.
 McDuffie here took the lead and the killing pace did not abate. He con- tinually urged his pacemakers on, and every mile clipped second or two from the previous record. The bell an- nounced the last mile of the race. and his pacemakers exerted themselves to the utmost as they swung into the stretch on the last lap. McDuff1e pulled out for a spurt and headed the team across the tape in 26:30 3-5.

FIFTEEN WORLDS

Remarkable Performance of Cyclist McDuffie in His Race With
 Michaal

BOSTON, June 2.-All worlds records from one to fifteen miles inclusive took a sudden drop at Charles River Park this afternoon, when Eddie McDuffie of Boston defeated Jimmy Michael, the tiny cyclist who has long held the title of champion of the world
 It is possible the race might have had different ending but for an accident which befell Michael early in the race while in the lead. His handle bars be- came loose and he was forced to leave the track for another machine, which proved to be in little better condition than the first. McDuffie had gained

RUSH FOR STAMPS.
Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars Col lected at the Internal Revenue
 Office for War Taxes

There was little slackening up yester- day in the rush for war tax stamps at the office of Internal Revenue Collector Lynch Being Saturday the office closed at noon after s25.OoO had been received for stamps and licenses for the new fiscal year
 The office will be open again next Tues day morning for the sale of stamps Inv which time there will be large ouantity on hand. Stamp collectors are besieging the office, but their efforts to secure sets of stamps are in vain, as they are sold in sheets of 100 each. and the only way to get them is to buy them by the sheet
 The postage stamps slammed in Wash ington with the letter 'l. R." will soon be replaced with the regular war stamps and the temporary issue will be small and cor respondingly valuable for philatelists.

a predatory way is unnecessary-the name tells the tale. Amos is always ready to wish another man Joy whenever good fortune smiles upon him, whether 1t be a boy or a raise of salary When he heard of Carleton c. Cranes elevation to the position of Pa ciic Coast agent for the Wagner Palace Car Company he simply let the reins go and made 1t his business to inform the community about this new honor thrust upon Crane. About In the afternoon Amos rushed into the Palace lobby, and there discovered a new lot to astonish. He did SO and in no hackneyed way. Ac- cording to Burr the first block on Mont gomery street was flowing with wine. The popping and flzzing of the molten amber liquid, with its fascinating effervescence, could be heard for blocks. His only sur prise was that the group of men to whom he was pair: ng this word picture had not heard the noise attendant upon the open ing of so many small bots" He advised them all to rush over to Crane and as sist in the consumption of the supply.

 "Of course" said Crane; "everybody gets a small bottle. Do you want yours now or wl.l you wait?'
 "Ill take mine now" said the young man, determined to drink 1t if he had to.
 "All right" Crane replied; "here 1t is." and suiting the action to the word he dug down in his pockets and fished up small bottle of ink. There will be no ink

Fashions IN FALL HATS.
FLOWERS HAVE GIVEN WAY TO
FEATHERS.
The Velvet Hat is the Hat of the
Moment-Brown and Blue are the
Fashionable Colors.

Dame Fashion does not neglect the
seasons. Her ministers, the milliners,
keep track of the calendar. The last
fashion magazines from the mainland
have much to say about fall hats.
Here are some of their dicta.
The summer hat of fashion has been
worn tilted well over the forehead.
The first fall hats flare coquettishly
off the face. The three-quarter side
flare is also seen, and they both lend
themselves admirably either to the
fluffy bang or the pompadour. This
season the velvet hat is the hat of the
moment, but the velvet hat for the
autumn of '0S must show the velvet
shirred, corded, machine stitched or
covered with tracery of applique
satin ribbon. Dark shades of velvet
sprinkled with white polka dots are
also used.
In millinary that fowl known as the
guinea hen of plebian farm extraction
is more in favor than the costliest of
soft-hued velvet petaled flowers The
fall hats are layishly trimmed with
plumage, and the speckled breasts of
the guinea hen are now stamped with
the seal of fashion. All sorts of phea-
SAINTS feathers in variety of colors
will be worn. and the wise looking
owl and gaily tinted quilts are seen
in close company on many an import
ed hat. On the more dressy hats
ostrich plumes will be worn, and
among the novelties are the ostrich
feathers powdered with chenille dots.
Many of the felt hats show crown
and brim in contrasting colors, the
shades of cafe au lait and deep brown
being frequently combined. a hat
with a low crown and straight brim,
strongly resembling the sailor in
shape. only with a much broader brim
is taking the place of the alpine so
long in favor.
As to colors all the tints of brown
are the fashion in the millinary world
this autumn. The blues with a violet
tinge are also in favor. and lizard
green, OK blood red and the petunia
tints are correct from the fashion
standpoint.
