some GOOD Figures.
A new record for tandem and single
was made Friday by T. L. Bird and ]. J.
schwartz, on tandem, and H. M Bird. on
single The fiftymile mark was set at
TWO hours and twenty-eight minutes, and
the tandem finished the century in five
hours and forty-five minutes which is
state record for the road. The start was
MADE at 1850 a. m, and the trip out was
made in one hour and five minutes
against a head wind. The first round
trip was completed in two hours and
tWenty-eight minutes, which is state rec
ord for the course and on the road. On
the second trip they were off their wheels
thirty-one minutes, which made their ac-
tual riding time five hours and fourteen
minutes. They claim they can and will
put that record below five hours before
the season is over, and that the party
that holds 1t this fall will have to do it
in four hours and forty minutes or better

had to be pulled on both trips out rrbev

CYCLE TRACK NOTES.

The national circuit races at LeXing-
ton park last week gave some of the
local professionals an opportunity for
comparison with the circuit riders. The
result was that the locals found ad-
vantage in the dirt track at Lexington
park, which was not in the best of con-
dition, while the hard training of the
circuit men proved an advantage to the
visitors. All things being equal the local
men are just as fast as any of the bunch
that visited here, but it must be remem-
bered that the circuit men race day after
day all the way from three to nine heats
while the local men, many of them go
about their regular business persuits and
only put in their spare time training
The circuit men have well mastered the
art of making the jump and in sew
eral of the races the local men were al
most lost before they knew it, In the
two-mile professional handicap there was
considerable complaint made by the cir
cult men about the long handicap which
was given Cullom, but as the two miles
was made in 1882, the visitors had but
little grounds for complaint On that
men they were racing against When
they saw that they had gained nothing
on McCullom, the limit man, during the
first lap, they struck up a very hot pace
on the second crossing of the tape
but did not keep it up, and the best that
they did was to catch the fifty-yard men.
While no very fast time was made ex-
cept in the final of the one-mile national
championship, the races were clean and
devoid of any hippodrome features, and

though he never showed his nose at the

dor Chimes made game struggle for
first place in the last two heats.
In the 2:24 pace Sphinx was the favor
tie and won the first heat, but Harry o

races were under the Iowa state division

1t is a matter of regret that the meet
was not enough of financial success to
send the local team of amateurs East to
participate in the national competition
races at Boston next month, as had been
originally planned. The promoters of the
meet are out just $50.
The new half-mile track at the state
fair grounds is in excellent shape, and
has been offered to the local Wheelmen
for training purposes when not being
used by the fair officials The Laurel

Plans are now under way to reach
Mendoza by cycle paths over two differ
ent routes. One follows the old Dodd
road and is being constructed by the
Cycle Path association The other is to
be built along the bluff road, and a sub
scription for this path is being taken
among the Westsiders. No means has
yet been provided for building the short
stretch between Mendoza and the ferry,

Smelling These stretches lie along the
low lands and are comparatively level

FITz AND mccoy.

There is little likelihood of a meeting
between Fitzsimmons and Mccoy at the
middleweight limit, or at any. weight
1t is said that Fitz is willing to fight,
hut that he has been advised to keep
out of the ring until that bad arm, about
which so much was said just before his
meeting with Jeffries, is entirely healed.
There is no longer a doubt that Fitz has
a bad arm. There Is something wrong
with the elbow that prevents the Cor
nishman from striking freely. The mere
knowledge that one of his arms is use
less would be sufficient to weaken his
work with the good one. Mccoy is seek
ing matches Of all sorts. That much
can be said to his credit. He does not
dodge every unknown who seeks bat
ties, but, on the contrary, the easier they
are the better he likes their game

TREASURER HONORS II
THE MONEY TO BE SPENT FOR
FARM SUPPLIES.
MULES AND FERTILIZERS TO Be BOUGHT
Many New Farming implements Will Also b.
Purchased. Fusion Management
Let things Go to Ruin
Generally.

The penitentiary appropriation dead
lock was broken yesterday.
And the public till is this morning
$4,000 poorer because of the break,
that amount being paid by State Treas
urer Worth to the executive committee
of the new board.
He refused on Wednesday, it will be
remembered. to honor the order OF the
committee, Messrs. Osborn, and Travis,
for this amount This refusal he based
on the ground that the question Of the
right to manage the penitentiary now
being in litigation he could not pay out
the States money until officially adj
yised by the court as to who was the
proper person to receive it.
The failure to get this money made
things look quite serious for the peniten-
tiary. 1t would buy many things-this
$10,000-for many things were needed by
the institution and there We're no funds
with which to purchase. If crops were
to be raised ON the State farms they
must first be planted. To do this new
stock and farming implements mus be
obtained, fertilizers must be purchased
and seeds bought: to say nothing ofssup-
plies for the convicts.
The Fusionists had let things gener-
ally go to wreck and ruin. To repair
the damage the Legislature had appro-
priated $4,000, and now because Of
litigation over the management of the
institution the appropriation was not
available, the State Treasurer not car
ing to take any chance ON the decision
of the Supreme court.
The Gordan knot was cut by Captain
Day. As the money was to be spent
i'll improvements that must be made,
no matter which side won, he yesterday
morning endorsed the warrant of the
executive committee of the new board.
This done the State Treasurer was re
lieyed of all Responsibility and he prompt
~ forked over the $4,000.
'FIhat penitentiary ought not to bl
crippled said Capt. Day, ''and if
mules and supplies are to be bought
they ought to be bought now. My adj
vice to the committee now in control is
to go ON regardless of the pending de
cision as if they We're going to run the
institution for all time. | want the pen

it to be successful, no matter whose
hands its in
The warrant was signed by "E. l..
Travis and w. III. Osborn, executive
committee of the board of directors"
and endorsed by Nv. Ii. Day, superin-
tendent of the penitentiary.'
Mr.. Travis left on the noon train
for the State FARMS to make some furth-
er investigation as to the manner in
which this money ought to be expended.

In answer to question ). Why the
curbing. grading and paving was scat
tered $50 much?" Mr.. Drewry
saws among other things I'VE
honestly believe that had this money
been spent entirely in the center of the
city. as some seem TO think would have
been the best plan. it would
have given wide spread discon-
tent. except among n few who were
benefited. and it would have been use
less to have even attempted another

Now nearly every one seems TO be
pleased with the improvements which
have been made on our streets, and 1t
will be much easier to get the people to
vote for bonds since they have seen
these improvements than it was before
the last election was held.
Does Mr.. Drewry mean to tell the tax
payers of this city that he has used
this money as Il political campaign FUND:
That he has used this money for the
purpose of getting another loanE mat
he has scattered the paving, Nc, all
about the city, skipping about from
place to place, where it could do the
most good in influencing votes? If so,
does Ire intend to use the next SlOO,0oO
for the same purpose? When
will this stop? Shall this endless chain

this same reason that he gives men who
voted the fusion ticket last year good
Jobs to the exclusion of good Democrats!

energy displayed. and the attention
