A TREMENDOUS CROWD.
Associated Cycle Clubs
Do a Rushing Bust
ness at the Fair.

Mechanics hall contained more peo-
pie in seven hours, beginning at 2
o'clock, yesterday afternoon, than ever
before. The magnet was the first fair
Of the Associated cycle clubs, and more
than 1000 persons had season tickets
punched in the afternoon. The even
ing crowd was much larger, and from
the balcony, an uncovered spot on the
floor was not visible.
Worcester brass band was stationed
on the platform, and there was a sun
light hop as the opening feature of
the big fair. The Century Club won
the $50 purse of gold offered for the
club selling the largest number of sea-
son tickets. The amount turned into
the fair treasury from the efforts Of the
Century Club was not announced. The
Worcester Cycle Club was second in
the race for gold.
At the west end of the hall is booth
for the display of the birds eye maple
chamber set, to be given the guesser
who proves best at figuring on the
number of beans in bottle. The dec
orations are large American flags
draped above the booth and overhang-
ing the balcony railing.
Green and pink streamers surmount
the refreshment stand. The table for
the sale of embroidery work and fine
bits of handmade lace has adornments
of pale blue and red crepe cloth. The
fruit table Is one of the most attractive
hooks in the fair, being partially hid
den by yellow crepe over which is
white lace The flower booth has a
background of purple and white. The
sale of confectionery last night was a
large one and the booth is decorated
with white, yellow and black crepe
cloth.
Entertainment last evening was fur
nished by Miss Grace E. Monahan and
pupils in exhibitions Of fancy dancing,
and Charles Widen, the hobo juggler,
who recently returned from an engage
ment on the Keith circuit Kit Kos
ter. a slack-wire performer, was ia
vorite with the crowd. Roster has a
contract for exhibitions at the Paris
exposition, and he will leave this coun-
try in March. The voting contests,
in which are offered a gold watch, dia-
mond ring, lady's bicycle, silk hat, doll
and other valuable articles, were given
a good start last night.
AS a means whereby the cyclists may
keep in touch with their favorite sport.
1900 model Lowell Diamond wheel is
exhibited on the platform. Here the
wheelnen gather for discussion. The
same artists with the exception of Miss
Monahan, will appear this evening, and
an exhibition drill will be given by the
Garde dHonneur, who will have mu-
sic furnished by the cadet drum corps.

night and tomorrow, the closing night,
The proceeds Of the fair will be used
as a fund for the building of a cycle
track in this city. and with patronage
equalling that of yesterday, the Asso-
ciated cycle clubs will be in a fair way
to realize their fondest expectations.

Foot Racing Ever
Seen.
PRETTY ROUGH AT TIMES.

New York, Nov. 30.-Madison Square
Garden was the Mecca of athletes this
afternoon and evening. The big am
phitheatre was well patronized by en-
thusiastic followers of track and field
sports, which We're under the direction
of the Knickerbocker Athletic club
The program was divided into two
parts. The track, weight and jumping
events took place in the afternoon.
The evening was devoted exclusively
to foot ball, which embraced every
style known to the devotees of the
game.
These contests were productive of
the widest enthusiasm on the part of
the spectators. The participants in
the game were equally rough, and it
looked at times as if several prize
fights were in operation.
Chief among the features of the ath-
letic events was the 10-mile run, A. A.
U. championship, which called out the
best of our long distance performers,
and the 60-yard handicap race, which
offered Arthur F. Duffey of Georgetown
university as a starter on scratch
Duffey is the sprint champion of the
United States, and has been winning
honors down east. He covered 60 yards
in the final heat of the dash and tied
the ultimate winner in 2-5 seconds,
the worlds record for the distance.
According to experts, the track was
fully two yards slow, and Duffey's
performance stands out as the best
piece Of foot racing ever done in Amer
lea.
The victor was w. S. Edwards, a
young New Yorker, who is not at
tached to any club. He had an allow
ance of 13 feet from Duffey. They ran

New York, Nov S0.-The police have
positive information that Frank Tarbo,
alias Tarbox, an American crook with
an international reputation, has been
in this city since Sunday last. He has
only recently been released from an
English prison after paying the pen
atty for one of the most picturesque
crimes of the century. He is one of
the gang of which the late Tom O Brlen
was a member, and was with O'Brien
in Paris when he killed WaddeH. Prior
to his last conviction, he was work
ing partner with William Carroll Wood
ward, alias Big Hawley, low serving a
term of Imprisonment in this state for
attempting to blackmail millionaire
Samuel w. Brigham out of 100000.
In the early DAYS of Inspector Byrnes,

famous gang of bank burglars, and took
part. in many big robberies all over the
country. Since then he has operated
in London, Paris. and st. Petersburg,
and when last arrested, in 1895, was

Washington, Nov. 3O.-Secretary
Gage has extended the time during
which the treasury will continue to
purchase bonds of 1904 and 1907 under
his recent offer He announced late
this afternoon that the offer would re-
main open until December % unless the
full amount of S25,000,000 should be
purchased before that time.
The price paid will be the same as
that stated in his first offer, namely,
112.75 for the tours and Ill for the fives,
with accrued interest to the date of
purchase. Up to the present time the
treasury has purchased about SIS 000,
900, par value, of the bonds, leaving a
balance of about $7,000,000 yet to be
purchased.
The fact that no more bonds have
been offered within the limit first fixed
is said by treasury officials to indicate
that there is no pressing demand for
more currency at this time and that the
price which the secretary offered to
pay for the bonds was below their real
value, rather than in excess of it.
New York, Nov. Soft was generally
understood in Wall street yesterday
that Secretary Gage would extend the
period for bond purchases, and in con-

The past week has not been charac-
terized by any sensational advances or
declines in the prices of stocks, nor by
any remarkable strikes in the camps.
Business on the exchange was feverish
at times, but kept up well for the spring
season. Compared with the transac-
lions of last fall ana winter, there has
been a falling off of about 80 per cent
in the volume OF business. but the his
tory of the past has been that slug
giShnesS accompanies the warm
weather. Such an amount of develop
ment work that is now going forward
in the various mining camps gives as
surance of great activity in the stock
business next fall.
Prices during the past week have
fiuctuated but little. Tintic stocks have
led in the transactions, the favorites
being Joe Bowers, Joe Bowers Extern
sion. Four Aces and Mammoth. of the
Mercur stocks. Daisy, Geyser- Marion,
Mercur and Northern Light have had
the dealings. Daisy closed on the de-
cline. but it is believed it will go for
ward later on. All Park City stocks
showed perceptible advances.
The principal transfers of property
for the week were in Bingham, which
has received the greatest attention Dy
eastern investors this spring. Added 10
the other notable transactions is the
sale of the Wall No. , group to Cap
tain De Lamar, who is increasing his
holdings in that camp. Another sails
was announced from New York yes

form a connection between the Golden
Gate and Gold Dust. also owned by
him. Other sales are pending in Tin
tic and other camps.
The copper regions around Milford
are receiving unusual attention from
mining men, and the present year is
likely to record the opening of several
