THEY MAY COME.
Air Magnates May Visit Worcester Ere
Long

1t will probably be two weeks before
the first model autotruck is ready for
service, as it is estimated by officials
of the American Wheelock Engine
Company, where the body is now To-
Gated, that it will require this time to
put the air bottles in proper position
and arrange the details of the work
1t has not been settled yet whether
Richard Croker, who is at the head of
the New York Auto-Truck Company,
and other officials of that company and
those of the International Air Power
Company will come here. There is a
strong probability that they will inspect
the truck at the works of the Wheelock
Engine Company, although there has
been all along some possibility that it
would be shipped to New York and
there exploited.
A local member of the Wheelock
Company said last evening that the off
Gals would undoubtedly come here, No
date for their visit will be set for some
time. The officials from New York are
all men of large affairs, and being con
nected with so many interests, it is
difficult to appoint time when all can
meet and view the work
Technically, the body with its air
power is a tractor, ana as such, mere
ly takes the place of a horse, or draw
ing force. 1t is not the carriage itself
but the hauling instrument. 1t is es-
timated that the tractor will pull six
tons, at least. The decision is likely to
be that the tractor will draw three We
hicles with a capacity of two tons each
1t is stated on reliable authority that
the papers by which the international
Air Power Company secures possession
of the Wheelock Engine Company have
not been completed or passed as yet
There is a vast amount of detail to be
laid out, and this is being done as rap.

cell, can see to it,

O'CONNOR TALKS.
Thinks He Would Have Beaten KiIsy Any
Way

Charlie O'Connor, who ran third on
the Holy Cross relay team in the race
against. Boston College at the games
of the latter institution in Mechanics
Hall. Boston, Saturday evening, feels a
trifie hurt over the differences that
might be drawn from newspaper &C
counts of his race with Kiley of Bos-
ton College. O'Connor thinks he would
have beaten Kiley, even If the latter
had not fallen on the second lap of
the relay.
Readers of The Spy are familiar with
the facts Of the race. O'Connor start
ed off in the lead. Just as he COM
pleted the first lap, he ran wide of the
pole on the short stretch, and Biley
passed on the inside. On the long
stretch, when half dozen yards in the
lead, Kiley fell O'Connor ran past
and won out by nearly 30 yards. Speak
ing of the race yesterday to The Spy
man, he said: Il am positive l would
have beaten Kiley to the line had he
remained on his feet. 1 have run over
so relays in my career, and was never
headed to the line yet I did not think
Kiley was so close to me; otherwise /
would never have allowed him to shoot
past on the inside. I am making no
excuse for that, as everything is in the
game. | might add that ability to

AN AMAZING ROMANCE.

Edgar Poe's unexceeded "Gold Bug has
been recently entirely and editorially
eclipsed by the Paris Figaro. A leading
article in that paper contains what it calls
tout un roman-quite a romance. The de-
scription is exact. The action occurs
partly in New York, partly in mythog-
raphy Time: Today. The characters
are Col Astor and a park commissioner
The former, we learnfis the most popular
man in America. The latter is patient
plaintiff. And now for the plot. At, a
date quasi-remote and otherwise unde-
gned, Capt. Kidd, of whom we have heard
before, hid a treasure, which we remem-
Der, on desert island, which we think
we have seen, in one of the vast lakes;
which we have circumnavigated, and
which are situated, as all the world is
aware, in the centre of Central Park.
Capt. Kidd not merely hid the treasure
there: he buried it in such fashion ode

cred at low tide. Here the plot thickens.

therefore circumspectly silent But the
