ward which Canadian wheelmen have
looked forward for long time-the
opening of the international bicycle
meet for the worlds championship.
Visiting cyclists sinclude scores of
crack racers. the majority of them
from the United States and the Do
minion with others from Europe and
from New South Wales, Victoria and
South Africa.
All the public buildings aud many
private houses have been decked gayly
with bunting in honor of the big
tournament. The visitors have been
accorded all of the privileges of the
city and the promised visit of the gov
ernor general leads to the anticip patton
that the week will be one of unparallel-
ed social splendor.
OF course to the majority the most
interesting part of the week is that de-
voted to racing. The Queens park
track where the preliminary events are
being run off today is ins excellent con-
dition and fit for the record smashing
which is expected to take place here
during the next few days. The racing
program provides for every variety of
bicycle race from short-distance
sprint to a fifteen mile road race.

CROWD NOT NUMEROUS
And The Soldiers Were Not
Called On To Keep
The Spectators
Back.

RENNES, Aug. THE trial of Cap
tain Alfred Dreyfus began at I O'Clock
this morning.
Everything was keyed to the event.
Precautions, for weeks preparing, be-
came visible.
Guards came on duty at break of day,
and officers were seen abroad so early
that it was said that they had not been
to bed at all. All Rennes is on tiptoe
at the dead line drawn around the
court and prison and strained to see
anything of drsma enacted within.
The morning is bright and warm.
Dreyfus was transferred from the mill
tary prison across the street to Lycee,
where the trial will be held. Police
men walked on either side of him.
Murmurs of curiosity arose from the
crowd as he passed, but there was no
demonstration.
The crowd was in fact, less numerous
than was expected and apparently in
good humor. Soldiers at dead lines
were not called on to hold the crowd
back and their arms were stacked.
Following Dreyfus came number of
Witnesses.
RENNES, Aug. 7.-Scenes in the
courtroom were not sensational.
The charges were read to Dreyfus
and being asked if he recognized the
bordereau, answered no. Said he did
not write 1t.
He declared his innocence on his
honor, his children, and his wife. The
taking of testimony then was bugup.
PARIS Aug. 7.---News of the pro-
ceedings of Dreyfus trial at Rennes
awaited with intense eagerness here.
The first extra with Rennes dis
patches were literally torn from the
newsboys' hands.
The city is calm, however, despite
the efforts of the nstioral press to stir
up trouble.

score of passengers.
Three physicians on the car follow
ing rendered valuable assistance, car
ing for the injured aud taking them to
the hospitals at Bridgeport.
The road is a new one, opened for
traffic Thursday last.
Witnesses who saw the accident say
there was one unearthly shrek as the
car went down, then silence.
The scenes following the disaster
were terrible and the uninjured little
children's cries for their dead parents
were eheartreuding.
Only one person in the car, so far as
known, escaped injury. This was VIM.
Keller, of Bridgeport. He was stand
ing on the platform; when he saw that
the car must 60 over, he jumped and
landed in the mud, sinking to his
thighs.
Great crowds gathered at the scene
of the wreck, and at Stratford this
morning. Many of them simply Came
as sightseers, but many of them are
there to look for dead or Injured friends
or relatives.
It Is not yet known when the inquest
will be held, but it will be soon. as
there is general demand for speedy
investigation of the cause of the wreck.
The official report Of Medical Exam
iper Cogswell places the number of
dead at 80. Those not named have not
been identified.
George S. Milton, the motorman, was
arrested at thehospital this noon on the
coroner's warrant charging him with
manslaughter. He was about to leave
the hospital, having recovered from
the shock of slight injuries. He will
be arraigned in Stratford.
The Coroner's jury went to the scene
of the accident this afternoon, taking
evidence for the inquest to begin to
morrow.
