N@A ~ race Over the EllZaD9Ll-
Railway course on July 4.
The bicycle policemen Of Rochester
and several other cities are now using
speed indicators on their machines, so
that they may determine the exact speed
at which scorchers whom they arrest are
riding.
That the manufacture of bicycles is
one of Americas leading industries is
proved by the statement the advertising
expenses Of the cycle manufacturers of
this country have averaged between s.,
600. 900 and So 600, 600 annually.
The motor pacing machines behind
which McDuffee and Taylor tried con-
illusions in a fifteen-mile match race at
Woodside Park, Philadelphia, on May
81, weighed when equipped for thirty
mile run, less than 200 pounds. The
machines, which are propelled by steam,
are designed to travel at maximum
speed of a mile in 1870.
During the past year the bicycle trade
has been productive of combinations ag-
gregating STA, 100000 They include
the following lines Of trade. Rubber
tire manufactures, with capital of
SIC, 900, 600; tubing manufactures, with a
capital of So, 900, 900; saddle makers; with
an aggregate capital of SO 100000; parts
makers trust, capitalized at $40 900, 900;
bevel gear makers, with capital of 3d.
100000, and the bicycle combine now or
ganizing, capitalized at $50 100000.
That cycling is and has been popular
in Germany is shown by statment that
a German bicycle firm founded in 1889
with capital Of 1926, 900 has paid an
average dividend of 147 per cent to its
foundation. This too, with American
competition, and thousands of wheels are
sent to Germany from the United States
annually and The German Cycle Board
of Trade has expressed its surprise that
the fourth son of the Emperor, de-
string to purchase bicycle, selected
one of American manufacture.
Although Charles Stobbe, who finish
ed eighth and Jesse W. Lepine, who rode
seventh in the Mllburn road race entered
protests because they were not checked
off. it is not probable that these will be
sustained. The management of this
formerly popular annual event is said to
have been wretched this year and it is
believed the Milburn road race has been
given such black eye that no attempt
will be made to repeat it, Lepine and
Oscar Stobbe sprinted over the tape to-
gether and while the latter was placed
seventh Lepine was not recorded. In
past years medical attendance was al
ways provided. At the recent race a
Brooklyn rider who was SPILLED" re-
ceived no attention until he was taken
to st. Barnabas Hospital, Newark.
Wheelmen after racing honors should
give events under such management a
wide berth.

separated by lapse of a century, but
linked together by the kinship of the
characters. Part I pictures New York
at the close of the Revolution, and shows
the humble beginnings Of family which
has since become Immensely wealthy,
and the departing splendors of their
aristocratic neighbors. In Part II the
scene is shifted to the New York of to-
day, and the story follows the fortunes
OF the new generations of Hopes and
WARMERS. Each part is complete
novelette,. Always in her element when
writing on society themes, Mrs. Har-
rison has outdone herself in The Circle of
a Century, and has produced a romance
of absorbing interest.

FURTHER DELAY GAINED
BY A TECHNICALITY
WAR STAMP CASES REMANDED
TO FEDERAL COURT.

Some time ago Judge Morrow of the
Circuit Court delivered a lengthy opin-
ion in which he stated that his tribunal
had no Jurisdiction TO try the suits
brought by G. B. Benham and B. John
son against Wells Fargo & Co., arising
out of the refusal of the corporation to
forward packages unles a war stamp
was affixed to them by the senders.
Despite this fact E. S. Pillsbury, coun-
sci for the wealthy but unpatriotic cor
poration, has again invoked the aid of the
Federal court to Stave off paying the
judgments that are likely to be awarded
the plaintiffs by Justice Barry, before
whom the cases are pending. On Mon
day last Mr.. Pillsbury secured writs of
served them on Judge Barry. This uneX-
pected move for delay resulted in both
cases being dropped from the Justices
court calendar when they were called,
two days later.
Now that the cases have been remanded
to the Circuit Court they are likely to re-
main there for many months. The evil
dent plan of the corporation is to have
Judge Morrow again decide ne has no ju-
risdiction, so that an appeal can be
taken to the United States Court of APP
pealS. The latter tribunal will sit next
month, but as the appeal will not be per-
fected in that short time it will have 10

McGeough and Cantwell, have labored
hard and the success of their efforts was
evidenced by the extraordinary attend
ance both at $50 a. m. and 1880 p. m. serv-
ices. Their sermons have been dogmatic

The mission will close on Sunday after
noon at o'clock with the comforting of the

Sunday night the mission for the men of
the parish will open. The order of exer-
cises will be similar to the preceding
week. The music tomorrow evening will
