One American amateur Record Was Bro
ken BY {. {. RYAN.

Waltham. Mass, July 3.-There was a
small attendance at the opening of the

being the breaking of the American
one-mile amateur paced record with a
flying start, by Z. E. Ryan of this CITY.
Ryan rode strongly throughout and
made the distance in 40 fiat, which is
within three-f1fths of a second of the
worlds record.
The former record was 1:43 2-5. made
by Arthur Gardiner at the Willow
Grove track, PHILADELPHIA. Ryan was
paced by two quads and three quints.
At o'clock Burns, Pierce and Frank
Waller started on a twenty-four hour
motor-paced race. There were also

River, second; George Giles, Charles
town, third. Time, 43 Is seconds.

TWAS A HOT ONE.
Suffering Humanity swsIters All the Day
Through Excessive Heat

The weather when it's good, it's very
good, but when it's hot it's torrid. This
or some similar thought ran through
the minds of suffering, sweltering hui
mainly yesterday as it sought some
antidote for the uncomfortable heat
that made living almost labor. The
weather god turned out his best sample
of weather early in the day, and he
kept unbottling it all through the day
and night, driving man almost to the
verge of lawless action, as he tried to
do away with one piece of clothing af-
ter another in the hope of getting coal.
Every tried antidote failed and suf-
fering man went to bed tired and ex-
hausted from heat after spending all
his loose change in the purchase of al
legged cooling drinks. The hot weather
robbed the fireworks dealer of much
that would be spent for explosives. The
soda fountain owner, ice cream and
dispenser of the long ones" were the
gamers. The thermometer started to
rise early in the day, and by noon had
attained a height that made one dizzy
to look at Mercury went, higher than
any other stock during the day, and
remained at high notch at the closing
of business. 1t fell a little after sun
down, but holds good position to get
a big start today.

ACCEPTS The Def.
Charles e. Forehand
to Shoot a 100
Bird Race
WITH E. C. GRIFFITH.
1t Will Be For 500 Calls
and Under Expert
Rules.
WITH E. C. GRIFFITH.

Charles f. Forehand, who was char-
lenged through The Spy week ago by
E. C. Griffith of Paseoag, R. l., to shoot
a 10O-bird race at the traps for $500,
called at The Spy office last night and
posted $25 as a guarantee to bind the
match.
Mr.. Griffith's original challenge was
printed in The Spy last Wednesday and
stipulates neither style of shooting,
place nor time, and Mr.. Forehand was
prompt in accepting the def. He agrees
to shoot the match under expert rules,
at unknown traps, known angles, shoot
er to stand on the 16-yard mark at No.
trap. In response to this acceptance
Mr.. Griffith has the following to say
in letter received yesterday:
Friend Forehand: When 1 wasin Wor-
cester the other day, Mr.. Walls asked
me If I would shoot you friendly
match, or shoot a match for money, and
| said that 1 would. At the time 1 did
not think it would lead TO newspaper
talk; however, If we can agree on the
match l am willing to meet you. l no.
tice in The Spy that you want to shoot
expert rules. Now have never shot 20
experts in my life, and would object to
those rules but would be glad to shoot
you 100 birds for 500 at known traps,
unknown angles, 16 yards rise, birds to
be thrown As to 65 yards, you to name
date and grounds. If this suits you,
write and we will arrange a match.
Yours, E. G. Griffith.
Pascoag, June 3G 1899.
Mr.. Forehand believes that Mr.. Grif-
fifth, acknowledging the right of chal-
lenged party to name terms, will be
brought to shoot under expert rules as
named by the Worcester man. The
rules, as laid down, Mr.. Forehand
claims, are the only proper terms for
shooting match race and under ex-
pert rules he is ready TO meet Mr.. Grif-
fifth at the traps of Worcester Sports
mans club on a day to be mutually
agreed upon. A match between the two
men would be the event of the season
in Worcester. Mr.. Forehand holds the
title of champion of Worcester county
and is one of the fastest men in New
England. Mr. Griffith is one of the top
notchers of the east and has appeared
number of times in Worcester where
he has a host of friends. Forehand has
done practically no shooting as yet
this summer and in the opinion of a
number of trap shooters would have to
have his eye with him every moment TO
win from as good man as Griffith in
his present form.
If Mr.. Griffith agrees to shoot under
expert rules, as is not unlikely, since
such a match as he proposes Is in nc
way regulation, the match will probably
be shot within two weeks, and Secre-
tary Arthur w. Walls of Worcester
Sportsman's club will run a shoot In
connection with the race, in order that
the visitors may have crack at the
clays.

Badly COnfuaed.

of that jurist, used to tell a story illus
trating the complete paralysis which
may affect the human mind at trying
moments.
One day when he was on board a
Rhine steamboat he noticed a lady, evil
IDENTIFY in great distress, trying by signs
to explain to the officials some matter
of Importance. Fancying that she was
a countrywoman Of his own, he asked.
"Do you speak EnglishP'
The poor lady had really lost her head,
and she could only stammer out. Gun
peu'-that is, a little.
Then Lord Bramwell continued the
conversation in French, but it became
evident that the lady understood scarce
~ a word. German and Italian gave
equally bad results. Finally she NUT
tered audibly to herself:
"How I wish I were safe at homei"
"But surely you do speak Englishl"
exclaimed the baron.
II can't speak anything else" she
Bobbed. THAT'S what makes me so
helpless among these foreigners"
