The first of the series of bicycle races
TO be given under the auspices Of the Bur
nngton Cycling association was held Tues
day at Howard Park The day was not
the most favorable one Cor time records.
as there was high wind from the lake
that greatly retarded the work of tho rid
ers on the back stretch and the track was
also soft In some places. Notwithstanding
these hindranccs, the races were full of
snap and were highly satisfactory to the
800 spectators that were present
The first event was the onc-half milo
amateur There were ten starters and q
time limit Of 1 m. 30 sec, was set. The
result was as follows

tested and had on its entry list some Of
the fastest men in the state. Fred Cross

prize for so doing. The time limit was l.20
and the result was as follows:
First, A. H. Carruthers, Rutland, SIP;
2nd, n. w. Maynard. Fair Haven, Sc; 3rd,
Fred Cross. Burlington, 81. Time l.1o 10.
The third race was the one mile amateur
The riders in this event were somewhat
inclined to loaf in the first heat as they
made the mile in only 3,cli6. \ time limit
of 40 had been set and so a second heat
had to be run with G. r. Elliott as pace
maker. A. f. LoZo would have been an
easy winner, but on the home stretch
turned his head to look for his compc-
titors and as this Is prohibited by racing
rules he was disqualified and the prizes
awarded as follows.

Of the afternoon. The riders in this race
were also inclined to loaf in the first heat
and only made the milo in 3.Olia, while
the time limit was 80 In the second
heat Eli Bushey of Shelburne set a pace
that was hot from the start to finish and
hIought the riders in many seconds below
the time limit. The result as as follows:

BURGLARS AT MRS. TRICKS.
Youpg Ladies' Awakened by a Masked In
trnder Tuesday MnrninG.

An attempt vas made to burglasize the
home of Mrs, Mary A. Trick on First
street early Tuesday morning, which
was stopped ny the opportune awakening
Of Miss Linnie Trick, whose room the
burglar entered. Miss Mabel Trick was at
home from Waterbury foC' a few days and
during the evening one of the girls had
iotingly examined hes pocketbook before
the window This was a short time be-
fore retiring and it is thought that the
sight of the pocketbook may have tempt
ed the woud-be burglar. 1t was about 4
o'clock Tuesday morning when Miss Lin
ME TEick. who was sleeping with her sis
ter in her mothers room on the ground
floor, awoke to find a man wearing a
mask standing over the bed. She spoke
TO her sisteC whercupOn the man turned
and jumped through the open window
close by.
No description can be given Of the in
truder unless he may still have attached
TO his person portion of the lace curtain
some of which he took with him in his
flight. The darkness and mask hid his
features. Nothing is missing from the
house, although watches and jewelry were
exposed in the room and It Is believed that
the slecpers were awakened as soon as
the man entered the room.

RAILROAD MATTERS.
strife Between tho Central Vermont aud
Nmtland Over the O. 4. Co.

Since the Grand Trunk Railway lost con-
troll of the Ogdensburg Transit Company
boats they are throwing every obstacle
possible In the way of the receiver, says
the Ogdcnsburg News which continues
In getting control Of tho boats it was
impossible to get control of the docks in
Chicago, the Grand Trunk retaining them.
The first move on the part OF the Grand
Trunk was to charge what the O. r. CO.
termed an eXhorbitant price for the use
of the docks. This the company refused
TO pay ana for a time the boats were with
out landing place in Chicago.
This obstacle has been overcome by the
y. 1. co. making arrangements with the
western Cold Storage and Warehouse
company to land at their docks and TO
handle the package freight The docks
are situated in the Wholesale district Of
Chicago at the foot of CLARK street, thus
making Il very convenient place to land
freight
another obstacle Is the refusal of the
Central Vermont Railway. now controlled
by the Grand Trunk Railway to handle
the q. ". Compary's western freight,
which Is consigned from Western ports to
New York and Boston Heretofore freight
consigned to the latter places has been
shipped over tho c. V. from ROuses Point,
but now the O. q l.. G. Railroad deliver
their freight at Rouses Point to the Dele
ware & Hudson Railroad, and the New
ioIh lIt1EhI goes 10 Albany ana from NJ
bany to New York by the way of the Hud
son River. The Boston freight is shipped
by Addison Junction and the Fitchburs
Railroad.
These little obstacles thrown in the
way of the officials of the O. Il L. G. u. X.
and O. T. Co. does not discourage them in
the least, as the new arrangements are
equally as good as the G. V"
MORE CENTRAL VERMONT CHANGES
Il. II. Fitzhugh, general manager of tho
Central Vermont railway, announces in
circular Wednesday that Hon. Herbert
Brainerd having resigned, the office
OF general baggage agent Is abol-
iShcd ana the duties of that po-
sition will he assumed by the gem
oral passenger agent, says the Messenger.
j. A. Allen, formerly trainnaster of the
New London division has resigned and
the office is abolished.
The general manager has given notice to

tention to discontinue at once the accept
ancc of orders of it's employees assigning

the assignment of wages by an cmploye

HORSE DODGED THE TRAINS

An exciting and rather peculiar runaway
occurred yesterday morning, when a single
team that WAS standing in front of the
postotiice started off at a rapid rate
through the streets of tho city. The horse
ran down Main street, up Battery and
down to the railroad station where it
lodged the shifting engines and made its
way through the gate of the dock and
stopped only when it came to the club
house. Here one of the crew OF the Rein
deer captured the animal and returned 1t
to the owner. The peculiar part of the
runaway was that neither horse nor car
riage was injured or damaged in the
slightest way, although there were many
teams In the path of the runaway and the
trains in the depot yard were directly
across the road and the horse had to so out
or It's course long distance TO get across
the tracks.

A CURIOUS ACCIDENT.
MEMORIAL DAY SEARCHES.

Sheriff Reeves went nom one end of the
town to the otheV in making searches for
liquor Tuesday and even visited Winoo-
ski. At Ninooski an examination WIS
made at the place of Dan Cirainy but no
liquor was located. Returning, the sher-
lit stopped al Mike Callahan's on North
street and chased Mike out into the street
with a bottle. This the owner smashed
upon the sidewalk. Judge Russell, it will
be remembered, holds that the fact If
having liquor on hand, even If the bottle
is smashed, is a serious matter.
The sheriff then went To Lakeside Park
and searched the hotel there opeCatei by
Fred Kean. Here he found five bottles Of
beer
The next stop was made at the store Of
Laprese Topper, at No S57 St Paul
street whore some more beer was secured
