second and King third in the very
good time of 1:13 3-5.
George Martin was on the program
for a one-third mile exhibition but
he was unable to get pace and Bilmar-
tin consented to appear in his stead
and went unpaced, making the third
in Al As, and establishing the one
third unpaced record for Cyclomere
track.
Tom King in the one-third mile ex-
hibition, flying start, made Al 25. He
was paced by Ludloff and Treadway.
Henry Giles made the one-third un-
paced in 43 As, two seconds slower
than Bilmartin's time, but very good
for this popular amateur.
The Hawaiian band was again one
of the features of the evening. The
lively airs selected by Professor Ber-
ger and the snatches Of fast music at
the finish of each of the races, added
materially to the pleasure of the even
ing.
When Bilmartin rides a bicycle race
he is literally part of the machine.
His feet are both clinched and strap
ped to the machine. This gives the
fullest advantage of the power Of the
foot that is coming up while the other
is pushing down No rider of the day
is so partial and devoted to this prac-
tice and theory as Bilmartin and his
| present trainer, Marshal is equally
certain that the only way to ride a
wheel is to get what they call 'full
double action Ruby Dexter had an
| idea of this when he was first riding
races here. He used very long toe
/ clip and rubber bands. George Martin
has his feet fastened tighter to the
pedals than any Of the local riders OF
/ the present day, but will be able to
part company with it if he falls.
/ When Bilmartin spills he does not
/ leave the machine. He can swim as
well as shoot and box and if he goes
! into the lake at Cyclomere will be
! able TO keep his head above water
even with the weight of a wheel or
/ his feet. Bilmartin is not afraid of g
+ fall. He says that after spilling him.
! self hundred or so times he learned
something about landing and that ht

and his people were delighted with the
outlook The prospects could not have
been better. Everything was in readi-
ness TO move along the first channel.
just then the biggest revolution in
three years exploded and President
Barrios. with all his money and guns
and soldiers and statesmen was busy
with the affair for half year. The
contractors were implored to wait.
Wait they did till it became evident
that all public improvement opera
tions had been indefinitely postponed.
1t will take four or five years to get
the Guatemala treasury in shape
again and then it's fatness may be too
much for those who follow the trade
of reform and revolution in that zone.
1t is clear and striking example Of
individualism plying its wedge against
the masses and the masses not quite
understanding 1t or not caring any too
much about it. That beautiful and
efficient dredger No. will like as not
lie in the water and rot to the edge
before it is wanted. Barrios esteems
number of other things. primarily
his own welfare, more momentous and
his successor may have the same idea.
The capitalists who were in the dredg-
er scheme have turned their attention
to other matters and will soon make
even. Mr.. Young, unfortunately has
no capital beyond his hands and his
brains. He was attracted to Hawaii
this time by talk on the Coast of pre-
posed harbor enlargement and unless
an opening in that field presents itself
will try SOmefh else or return Tn
the States. He has many friends in
town and has been entertained by
number of them. Mr.. Young had
few adventures and mishaps while in
stalling Prosperity" For one thing
the dredger left her moorings one
night and was all but wrecked on the
reef. Mr.. Young was very largely in
strumental in averting a total loss.

OFF ON THE GAELIC.
Points About Some OF the People
Who Sailed SUNDAY.

Mr.. and Mrs. Melancthon Hurd and
Miss Hurd, left for San Francisco on
the Gaelic Sunday afternoon After
spending a fortnight or so in that city,
they will proceed to Mobile, Ala, to be
present at the marriage of their son.
From there they will go to New Orleans
and other cities in the Southern States,
returning after that to Southern Cali
fornia, where they will spend quite
time. Mr.. and Mrs. Hurd and their
daughter expect to be back here in Oc-
tober of this year.
Levin Barringer, Sr., Levin Barrin-
ger, Jr., and D. M. Barringer, who have
been on a six months tour around the
world, returned to their home in Phila-
delphia on the Gaelic Sunday. Like all
people who come here from the States,
they had an extremely delightful time
and were 10th to depart.
Major General Cunliffe of the British
army who has been spending a very
pleasant time here, left for the States
on the Gaelic. He will proceed to his
home in London.

dent from the start that George Mar
tin and the scartch men would not
win anything very great for they were
too busy watching each other and al
lowed the other men to go ahead as
they pleased There was an attempt
made by Bilmartin to catch the front
men but the other cracks hung back.
Sam Johnson won first place in grand
style, Sylvester second and Jackson

Fighting Evil.

In his sermon at Central Union
church yesterday morning, Rev. d. P.
Birnie spoke of Paul as a fighter
against evil and evil influences. Rev.
Mr.. Birnie's argument was along the
line of urging education and training
against the saloon and the gambling
place and against unholy living. He
believed that the greatest effort should
be used in convincing young men that

Up the steps and into the dark church
they tumbled pellmell. HARDWOOD and the
Mouse among them. They closed the great
doors. bolted and barricaded them with
beLches pews and heavy stone slabs from
the floor. Already the voltigeurs were fir

street; the officers climbed beside them and
en- piled their revolvers into the masses of
Prussians that surged around the church
in a delirium of fury.
HARDWOOD looking over the shoulder of

giEg through the walls of the houses across
the street, saw the German soldiers pour
into the breach, saw them at the windows
bayoneting the remnants of the 12Sth and
f1,nging the wounded from the windows.
From house to house the pioneers opened
the walls. 1t was necessary to exterminate
the garrison of each separate cottage, for
none of them surrendered.
The house that adjoined the church was
swarming with Prussian infantry. They
fired into the church windows. shouting,
'Hourra! HOurra! PreuSsen No quarter!"
The officer next to Hardwood was killed
outright. Two others fell back to the stone
floor below At the next volley five volti-
geurs were killed wounded. A blast of
flame entered the church as grenade ex-
ploded outside a window.
The Mouse, in an agony of fright, was

HOW HEROES WON MEDALS.
Americans Who Have Received

From the Chicago Times Herald.
Richmond p Hobson sunk the Merrimac
and wen plaudits and promotion. He de-
served both. 1t is a curious fact that the
world save in rare instances, forgets all
about the specific acts of lis heroes before
the heroes themselves have grown gray
headed The exceptions TO this rule are
to be found in those cases where the deeds
of daring have been made the subjects of
poems by men or women whose written
words on whatever subject would live of
themselves-witness Balaklava, Casabi-
anca and others.
There are men of high rank now at the
front who years ago won advancement
and medals OF honor by deeds hailed in
their day with as much acclaim as was
the act of Hobson and his mates. Yet
who to-day outside of few grizzled vet
Grams remembers anything about what the
specific act was which won silver leaves
and gold stars for these old warriors who
are sull at the front?
