\ SHORT HISTORY OF TIE UNITED
STATES FROM THE YEAR 1907
TO THE YEAR 1893.
The United States consists Of forty
five states and FIVE territories. It
was first but thirteen colonies along
the Atlantic Ocean. There colonies
extended as far south as Florida
and as far west as the Mississippi
river. All west OF the MISSISSIPPI
river with the exception Of a few
states belonged to France, and was
bought by the United States in
eighteen three for the sum Of fifteen
million dollars. This was during eff
erson's administration. The south
western part belonged to Mexico,
but was ceded to the United States
in eighteen forty eight. This land
was afterwards formed into states
and admitted into The Union. The
United States has had twenty
five presiL cnts, OF whom the first
was George Washington, the man
that never told lie. The twenty

States has not ye: fought with any
nation Of the world without being
victorious. 1t may perhaps have
war with Spain for the blow up Of
the man-of- war, Maine, which is a
great loss to the United States. l

sixtv-five lives lost. This battle

The ordinance failed to become
effective On a. count OF Mayor CAT

in order TO protect the town it were
better to bind the company to make
such changes as the council might

BICYCLE NOTES.

The decline of road racing never was more greatly emphasized than on Me- morial day, when not more than two dozen highway Derbies were contested throughout the entire country. In pre- vious years, and not more than two seasons ago, the Memorial day that did not bring one hundred road races was a distinct failure from the plug gers point of view. Road contests were run in every important city and town in America, and the aspiring rider could have his choice of a dozen hand some prize lists without going more than 200 miles from home. But now it is different, and, inasmuch as road- racing has fallen into disrepute of late, the well-wisher of the sport cannot regret that the end is soon to come. The winner in the Chicago road race this year was protested on one ground or another, there were a number of pro- tests in the Irvington- -Milburn race, and in the Cleveland event great scandal is brewing, the result of which will go to show that the road sport, no matter how carefully conducted, is a mongrel game, and cannot have it's end too early for the success of cycle-rac- ing sport.
 On June 25 will occur the annual road race of the Bristol Wheel club, distance eighteen miles, Bristol to Southington and return. First prize, diamond stud valued at $50, second prize gold watch, $30 and thirty other prizes, consisting of miscellaneous articles ranging in value from SIP down. In addition there will be a special time prize of a gold watch, valued at $35. Entry fee is $1; entries close June 23. Entry blanks and information may be obtained by addressing E. R. Burwell Bristol. This is going to be one of the best races for Connecticut riders which will occur this year, and is open only to riders resi- dent within the state.
 Tom Butler has been matched against Howard Freeman the Oregon lad. This race was the outcome of Freeman's de- feat by Butler at the opening of the season in the mile national champion ship race at New York, after Freeman had previously defeated Cooper and Eden The race will be contested in New York early next month, the race to be decided by mile heats, best two in three, paced by tandem.
 Arthur Gardiner has camped out at Berkeley Oval with Billy" Young. Jimmy Bowler, his racing team mate, is also at the Oval. Gardiner says he wants a good place to train and thinks the Oval will meet all requirements. In the meantime he is going to work over the track until he knows every board in the surface. It is said the manage ment has offered him handsome re- l turn if he will succeed in making a new record for the mile unpaced. Cyclists put heap of confidence in the speed 1 qualities of the track at the Oval. Me- Duffie's record breaking grind of Sat-

 Ever since he came ot America it has been the desire of Jaap Eden, the crack European, to have go at some of our best sprinters in matches. The first of series for the famous Hollander will take place Saturday at Manhattan Beach, when he will have as an oppon- ent Major Taylor, considered by many as the best all-around rider in this country. The first heat will be with a single pacemaker, the usual style in America, and the second will be without pace, the European idea, and should a third heat be necessary a toss of the coin will decide the choice.

BROWNS ANNUAL MEETING.
The Report of President Andrews.

Providence, R. T., June 16.-The an4s nual meeting of the corporation of Brown university was held in Univer-s sity hall this morning. President An-s drews made his annual report, in which he said: Financially the year has been a normal one. While the ex-s penses were less than during the year previous, the gain was more than off, set by the decrease in the income from students, so that the year closed with a deficiency of about $6,0O0. Gifts amounting to s2O,oo0 in all were an- nounced. By the will of Mariah Bene- dict, $1O,OO0 was received and it was voted to use the same in endowing the Benedict professorship of classic phi- lology. From Edward c. Thayer of Uxbridge $6,5O0 was received; by the will of Harriet Daniels $2,500, and from Hon. James L. Howard of Hartford, $1,000
