ASSOCIATED CLUBS
viii Hold Another Bicycle Meet, and
viii Plan for Fair.

The Associated Cycle clubs will hold a
race meet at Gardner Labor day, and is
laying preliminary plans for fair with
ball and all the Accomplishments at Me-
chanics hall the week of Thanksgiving
For the race meet the grounds at Crystal
lake park have been engaged, and, at a
meeting later in the week, committees
will be appointed to serve under the di-
rection of the racing board, which will
have the meet in charge.
1t is the intention TO hang prizes well
up to the amateur limit in value and to
offer a card strong enough to attract the
best of New England amateur riders. The
doubtful success of the Westboro meet
July 4. by no means dampens the ardor of
the racing board, and it believes the COM
ing meet will meet with nothing but sue
cess. The fair In the fall will be planned
along lines that will totally eclipse any
fair ever held in Worcester. The efforts
of all the bicycle riders in the city will be
enlisted in the cause, and the manage
ment predict that the affair will be an i'm
mense financial success

DOWN COME ESTIMATES
COUNTY COUNCIL CONSIDERS FIG
UREs OF TREASURER AND AUDITOR.
The Commissioner VIII Pass Their
Amounts for Review To-day
Township Assessors.

The County Council expects to get
through with it's work this week and in or
der TO reach an early adjournment the mem
bers are working hard Yesterday the esti-
mates of the county auditor and treasurer
were considered. A "cut" of $1,156.20 was
made in the auditors estimate of books and
stationery The estimated cost Of these
items was si,0S620 but the council, after
careful figuring, concluded that 1880 would
be sufficient The treasurers estimate of
S. go for supplies was reduced to 81, 500. The
council made another reduction of 500 in
the county assessors estimate, on learning
that some of the supplies for the assessor S
Office are furnished by the auditor and were
provided for in the auditors estimate. In
regard TO the reduction in the appropria-
ton for court bailifs' salaries, the council
yesterday concluded to allow the bailiffs
500 a year, but they will not be allowed ex-
ira pay for jury service. 1t is the business
of the bailiffs to take charge of juries while
they are "out," and in many cases bailiffs
are compelled to remain with juries over
formed without extra pay.
The council yesterday made the following
reduction in the estimates Of township as
SCISSORS: Pike township, SIG; Washington
township, $35; Decatur township, $46 Frank
lin township. $40; Wayne township. $50;
Lawrence township, SO; Warren township
$50. The estimate Of the Perry township as
SCISSOR was allowed presented. To-day
the council will probably take up the Coun-
~ commissioners estimate for considera-
ton.

FOUNDRY ROOF LEAKS.
Makes 1t Dangerous for Men to Work
Under 1t.

Labor Commissioner Mccormack was yes
terday engaged in trying to settle the trou-
BILE at the American car works in this city,
The molders have made demand that the
weekly wage law be enforced, and Mr.. Nc
Cormack found that the real cause OF CON-
plant is the condition of the roof over the
molding room. 1t Is steel roof, full of
holes. Mr.. Mccormack stated that some Of
TIE holes in the roof are large enough to
throw a street through" This makes 1t
dangerous for the men to work. Every
time there is a rain the sand in the room
Is wet and the men lose time. If a rain
storm comes up while they are at work
1t makes It dangerous for them to remain
at work, as drop of water In any of the
molten metal would cause an explosion like
that of dynamite.
The plant is a part of the trust. which
has its headquarters in St. Louis and the
manager has been working in vain Tor weeks
TO induce the company TO repair the roof.
During the past two weeks he has written
four letters and he has done all in his
power 10 induce the company TO make the
repairs but the company does not seem in
clined TO do anything. He has given up
in despair, and now the State officials will
take a hand, as the local manager Is as
anxious that the repairs be made are
the men working there. Many of the men
have left there as they considered ii too
dangerous TO work where the chances for
an explosion were so great.
