The scene at the conclusion of the ride
at Valley Stream last night was lively

formanoe. When Mass Cast rode into VAL
ley Stream she was welcomed by several
hundred people. who cheered her for many
minutes. Then tmlAense bonf1res were
started. fireworke sizzied through the air,
and the tired but thoroughly happy woman
was led into the little hotel and put to

this morning feeling as well as she did last
night she would start out at O'Clock to
ride another 500 miles.

Miss Cast stepped upon the scales at the
hotel att Valley Stream and showed that
she weighed exactly 1T pounds, or nine
pounds less than when she started. It Is
lam Fl. Brown who arranged the schedule
for her in the long ride and acted as her
trainer during the Journey.
The performance, II genuine, Is the most
remarkable In the history Of long distance
riding in this or any other country. Three
fourths OF the long distance was pedaled
either In the rain or over roads deep in
mud. The weather conditions were even
Brown. when he made the record last year.
The old records made by Mrs. Brush, Miss
Lindsay and other women riders pale into
insignfficance when compared with the per-
formance just finished by Miss Cast. There
are some people who think that several
other ambitious women will Immediately
start to try to establish a better record.
1t they do the chances are that the good
people living In that part of Long Island
will rise up in their might and request the
police to interfere. They do not begrudge
the notoriety achieved by Miss Cast but
they have had about all of the women en-
durance contests they want on Long Island.
Miss Casts trainers denied that injections
OF cocaine or morphine had been given to
the woman in the course OF her long ride.

gained possession of the ball on tumble

"OId Reliable" Mcclure was quite fac

The Pittsburg sports lost heavily on yes
terday's game, the betting being brisk at
even figures.
McGinnity was hurt trying to get home
from third in the eighth inning and he let
down in his pitching in the ninth in conse-
quenCe.
The transforming tour of the Phillies and
Bostons must have collapsed, as nothing
has been heard of the teams coming to
Washington. The Quakers are playing
through Pennsylvania.
Bill Donovan was not the success with
Brooklyn that his Hartford work promised.
Bill has to get the bah over the plate for
the big leaguers. while the minors are too

Rem Milford says: The colored gent in
the Boston woodpile can be seen without
the aid Of opera glasses. 1t was Director
Billings who was booming Hugh Duffy,

Phil Conant were true to POLL Selee.
Edward Fertsch. who pitched for Buffalo
this season, was out hunting the other day
and was accidentally shot In the left arm
by friend. The arm was shattered and
will have to be amputated. This means
that Fertsch's base ball days are over.
Kelley, Jennings and Keller are the only
payers on the Brooklyn team who played
for the Temple cup in past years. Tom
O'Brien was a member OF the Baltimore
team in 1897 and took part in one game
against Boston.
