Such liquidation was undoubtedly
made in all of the Tobacco stocks.

Tuesday evening. In Meonian hall

the disCord of the bass drum, the tenor
drum and the tambourine would occa-

musicians could put into their work.
At the same time the strains of 4

A MILE IN IS SECONDS.
Wonderful Burst Of Speed by BicycIist
Murphy, Paced by Train.

New York, June 21-Bicyclist Charles
Murphy, who. June 80. will try to ride
mile. paced by a locomotive, in a
minute or less. made a trial. today, on
board track near haywood. L. l.
He was paced by an engine and one
car. a big crowd including a party of
prominent wheelman, watched the
trial
The stretch of track on which the
trial was made is nearly level. From
rail to rail is a pine track for a dis
lance of two miles. Its surface is
smooth and more even than any cycle
track ever before built. The locomo-
tive. which pulled the single car be-
hind which Murphy travelled is the
largest and fastest on the road. AT the
rear of the car was a wind shield and
in the centre of this a black streak by
which Murphy guided himself.
The rider and train began the jour
ney at a moderate rate Of speed about
quarters Of a mile above where
the contrivance was fixed to take the
time Of crossing the starting line. At
each puff Of the locomotive the pace
grew faster until as the starting line
was seen to flash from under the car
and the rider those in the car thought
the mile-a-minute gait was surely
reached
Murphy chung behind the car, every
nerve strained and his two feet chas-
ing around the pedals so swiftly that
only an indistinct blur was visible.
His eyes We're riveted on the black line
in front of him.
When the finishing line was crossed
and the track began to slacken up
Murphy was cheered to the echo for
his display of nerve and grit.
Murphy's time was l minute. sec
onds, better by several seconds that
has ever been made before by a cyclist
paced by train.
