HOLD THEIR TRIALS.
Four lien of Newport Bicycle Club Qualify
For Places on the Team.

The Newport Bicycle Club held their
trials for the 10-mile road race yes
terdav. and the following four riders
qualified: z. P. Rice, c. c. Kenneway
Charles Curtis and c. w. Walls.
These trials were not final and others
will compete for the places on the team
tonight. The trials yesterday were
held out Tatnuck way and the course
was from the avenue to Tatnuck by
way Of June street and return. The
course was not over seven miles and
the men went over it separately and
their time was taken for the distance.
Tonight F. H. Sibley and f. w. Liberty
will compete in the trials, and who
ever else in the club that so desires.
The course will be practically the same
and the winners will be guaged by the
time they make. At the trials yester-
day only four riders tried and their
time was fast enough to warrant their
appearance on the team should they be
needed in case of an emergency.
The Newport club now come forward
with a strong objection to the pro-
posed riding Of the Krafve club for the
tin cup. They maintain that the course
selected is not good enough to warrant
the riding of more than u men at the
most. The course is but large enough
to accommodate 10 riders, and would
never be selected if it was understood
that more than u riders were to com
pete. They also state that the Krafve
club is naming riders from all the
clubs in the town and are not combining
themselves to the original membership
list.
c. S. Boiling. Burt Aldrich and f. H.
Sibley were to race at Dorchester in
the road race yesterday. and with John
W. St. John and F. W. Marshall went
there, only to find that the races had
been postponed till week from Sat
urday. George Hepworth Of the Cen
turys was also present and among the
disappointed ones.
But one member Of the Stearns Cycle
Club went out for an extended run yes
terday and that was F. A. Pierce, who
went to Fitchburg. The club quarters
have undergone a thorough renovating
and are now in first-class shape. The
rooms will now compare with any Of
the local club quarters and are as
coy as could be. The flag was flown
at half-mast in honor of the day yes
terday.

A POT OF HOT LEAD.
Lewis Laioie Is Badly
Burned by Molten
Metal.

Lewis Lajoie, employed by ]. N. Gren-
Ter at A Central street, was badly
burned yesterday afternoon about
o'clock by pot of hot lead tipping over
and owing to a misunderstanding at
station 1, the man laid where he was in
jured for over Is minutes waiting for
the police ambulance, and finally had to
be driven to the city hospital in one of
Harrington Brothers hacks.
At the time the accident occurred
Lajoie was working on a cornice and
had a pot of lead near his elbow which
he intended to use later to join the ends
of the cornice together. In some unac-
countable manner the pot of lead was
tipped over and Lajoie badly but not
seriously burned.
j. n. Grenier, for whom he works,
and John Holden, a contractor were
attracted by Lajoies cries as soon as
the hot metal touched his body, and
rushed to his aid.
Grenier's hands were badly burned in
extinguishng a fire which started from
the molten metal and had reached the
unfortunate mans clothing. The police
ambulance was telephOned for and
Capt Ranger gave orders to officer
Oliver Blake to go to Harrington's
stable on Central street. Instead officer
Blake went to the City stables on Salem
street, supposing that Capt. Ranger
said it was where the ambulance was
wanted.
The injured man could not wait for
the ambulance and he was sent to the
CITY hoaital in a hack, while Officer
Blake drove to the City stables but
failed to find any one in need of trip
to the hospital.

During the afternoon games for child
rem were held in front of the club house.

climb creased pole, and only three OF
fourteen prizes were secured. The girls
and ladies ran several sprints and egg
races while a shooting contest ABSORBED
the attention Of the men.
Although many of the club houses
have been open for some weeks, yes
terday was generally recognized as the
formal opening day. All the clubs held
open house. 1t was ladies' day at the
Lakeside Club house, and a large num-
Der OF guests were entertained at the
close of the boat races. In the late af-
ternoon game of hand ball between
TWO five-men teams was the central at
traction for spectators on the. balconies
and piazzas. The entire fleet of canoes
and boats of the club was in requisi-
ton during the afternoon and early
evening.
The Y. M c. A. boat house took on a
show Of its old-time activity, and the
club fleet of so boats added materially
to the craft afloat. Svea Gille Tatassit
and Wapiti club houses were wide
open and were thronged throughout the
afternoon. At Quinsigamond park the
first clam bake of the season was on
and was well patronized. The shore
dinner has begun its regular summer
reign and will be served regularly, be-
ginning Sunday. At the park an I'M

attraction to call out well nigh the
entire membership of the club. The

STREET CAR TRAFFIC.
Fully $4,000 People Car
ried During the
Day.

The Consolidated street railway had
the busiest day in its history yester-
day. AS soon as the sun conquered the
defiant element in the morning and
rose to its position of supremacy. the
street was the refuge of the working
man.
In the evening care wrinkles on the
faces of the street railway directors
were filled with evidences of prosperity,
and Supt. Akarman was a happy man
when the heaviest of the traffic was
over and the public had accepted the
service Offered without complaint. 1t
was estimated last night that $4,000
passengers had been carried during the
day and early evening The street car
service was the best that the CONSOLE
dated has ever given on a holiday, and
the public realized it.

Dinsdale and Dwyer
Fight an Even
Match.
GARDINER DEFEATS BOLLES.
1t Takes Ten Rounds To
Lay Out the Worcester
Man.

Hartford, May 3O.-George BoIes lost
decision in 1O-round bout with Billy
Gardiner. Dinsdale fought 10 rounds.
draw, with Jack Dwyer Of Boston. His
match with Rosenberg was declared off,
a physicians certificate from Boston
saying his shoulder is injured, and he
can't box for a week
The Dlnsdale men attempted to claim
the stakes, but the Rosenberg party
threatened to sue, and Worcester men
called it off.
Dwyer was substituted. The Worcess
ter men allowing side bets OF $3.50 to
stand. The Gardiner Boles match was
first fought. Gardiner easily outpoint@
ed the Worcester boy.
He is several inches taller, and has "a
longer reach. He won by repeatedly
jabbing his left into Boles' face. The
gong saved Boles in the 5th, and In the
10th he was almost out He was ex-
ceptionally game.
1t is doubtful If Gardiner could have
put him away, as the Lowell boy was
weakened in his legs peroeptibly. There
was no question about the decision,
however He punched Boles at will.
Dinsdale made wonderfully good show
ing against Dwyer, who recently fought
a draw with Jimmy KeaIns Dryer was
several pounds heavier. Dlnsdale was
very strong.
During the first few rounds the fght@
ing was fast. 1t was give and take.
After that Dwyer did most Of the lead
ing, but Dinsdale raped him hard.
Dwyer is a glutton for punishment,
and Dinsdale did not keep him back
much, although he certainly admins
tered the most punishment.
Dinsdale surprised the Worcester
contingent He is a comparative
novice. He fights fast and strong and
has two good hands. The men were
strong at the end OF the Is rounds,
fighting hard.
The fight was declared a draw. The
Worcester sports thought Dinsdale
should have received the decision, be-
cause he had a little the best Of the
exchanges, while Dryers friends
claimed the decision for him, because
he did nearly all OF the leading.

ESTERHAZY THE MAN,
SO Says De Beruper in the Court Of
Cessation.

Paris, May SO.--The section Of the
court of cessation engaged in the hear
ing Of the case against NJ. Paul De-
roulede and Marcel Habert, charged
with melting soldiers to insubordlna-
ton, resumed its sitting at noon. The
entry of the defendants elected shouts
Of "Vive De Roulede."
NJ. Roulede resumed his harangue
Immediately upon the court being call
ed to order. reiterating amid applause
his statement to the court on yester-
day that he had not desired the estab-
lishment Of a dynasty, but Of a plebis-
citary republic.
M. De Beaupre said that if in 1894 the
officers Of the court martial had
thought it was not their duty to show
Dreyfus the documents concerning him
the judges not being lawyers had erred
though acting i'm good faith NJ. De
Beaupre then entered at length into a
consideration Of the arguments of the
anti-revisionists who, he said, contend
that even if the document, "Ce Canaille
de D." should be shown not to refer
to Dreyfus it would be no reason for
revision because the document was not
responsible for the conviction Of Drey-
fus. The Vaccinations OF Col, Du. IA
tey Du. Clam and Lieut.. Col. Henry, 1t
had also been argued gave no ground
for revision, because they had been dis
avowed by Gen. CONF. assistant chief
Of the general staf, and by his superb
or, Gen. Bosdeffre.
NJ De Beaupre created deep sensa-
ton by solemnly declaring that he had
become convinced that the Bordereau
was written by Maj. Count Ferdinand
EsterhaZy.
NJ. De Beaupre read a fresh report
drawn up by NJ Manau the procurator
general on Saturday last in view Of the
recent DEVELOPMENTS enumerating the
fresh facts In favor of Dreyfus. viz:
one. the Henry forgery; two. the
changing of the date Of the bordereau
10 August instead of April; three, con-
tradictions of the handwriting experts;
foiJr the absolute identity of the paper
upon which the bordereau was written
with Mai. Esterhazy's letter paper.
