correspondents are fully confirmed.
IN Minnesota and North Dakota the
condition of oats, barley, rye, pastures
and meadow-land is, like that of spring
wheat, the lowest on record.
The condition OF spring and winter
wheat combined on July was SOS,
against 1872 On July /, 1899, and S9.4 at
the corresponding date in 1898
The wool report indicates the av-
erage weight per fleece as being GIT
pounds, as against 595 pounds IN 1899
The hay crop, while not as good on
old meadows as usual, still yields two
tons and more per acre at Spencer.
Grain and vegetables are looking we'll
and promise a good crop. Rye and
winter wheat are nearly ripe.
The amount of wheat remaining in
the hands of farmers on July l is esti-
mated at about 100000 bushels. or
the equivalent of 90 per cent. of the
crop of 1899. The average of the oat
crop is $50 as compared with 917 one
month ago; 80 on July 1899; 92.S at
the corresponding date in 1898, and a
ten-year average of S7.3.
The average condition of barley is
1853, as against So one month ago:
80 on July l, 1899; So at the cores
ponding date in 1898. and a ten-year
average of SS.3. All the principal
barley states show a decline during the
month and their averages of condition
are all below the respective ten-year
averages.
The average condition of winter rye
is 1915, as compared with 1913 on July I.
1899; 1913 at the corresp onding date in
1898, and ten-year average of S9.5.
While the two principal reproducing
states, New York and Pennsylvania,
show an improved condition as COM
pared with June l they still fall seven
points below their respective ten-year
averages.
The average condition of spring rye
is 69.7, as compared with S9.7 on July 1,
1899; 96.9 at the corresponding date in
1898 and ten-year average of S9.S.
While there has been a general de-
clue IN the condition of apples, almost
every important apple-growing state
has the promise of more than an av-
erage crop. This is also true of
peaches and of grapes.

NOT VERY SUCCESSFUL.
Milwaukee Bike Affair Not the Big
Thing It Promised.

Milwaukee, July 12.-The races of
the National Cycling association billed
in connection with the 21st national
meet of the League of American
Wheelmen will prove failure because
of the unsafe track at the exposition
building. Already a big feature of
the meet, the thousand dollar match
race between Tom Cooper and Major
Taylor, has been declared off. Other
professional riders also dropped out.
The total registry Of the L. A. W.
shows but CAB names, several thousand
having been expected.
Yesterday afternoon the automobile
and bicycle races were held on Grand
avenue before great crowds of people.
The Andrae triplet, 81, came over the
line first, the cream and crimson of it's
riders flashing by only wheels length
ahead of the orange sweaters of the
Jonas triplet, Sc, which crossed the
chalk just behind. 1t was as pretty a
race as has ever been run, the distance
from Sixteenth street between the two
having been no greater than at the fin
ish. The time was 1:19.. The crew OF
the winning wheel was W. Schroeder,
who steered, Johnny Lake and I. H.
Denny Of Buffalo. On the Jonas ma
chine were G. B. Van Colt, Al. Miller
and o. Weber.
The automobile race was won by R.
H. Wells of Kenosha with W. H. Stark.
weather of Milwaukee second, the Ke-
nosha man coming in about one-hals
block ahead Of his second.
1t is nOticeap1e that a great majority
of those who are here with Tie goods"
are elderly wheelmen, men with gray
hair who rode with upright handle
bars. The younger element is missing
as yet, but may get here for the races.
Many of the "old boys" wear long
strings Of glittering century bars over
their shoulders and across their breasts
indicating that they are mucn awheel,
and that they are not new to the bus
mess either. Several of them were on
hand early, telling about how they rode
velOcipedes in '67 and things like that.
Among the record men is Charles T.
Heaton, president of the American
Century Whee1men, who wears ITO
century bars. He said that the famous
century run which was to have been
made from Chicago simmered down to
one man and one woman, that the hun
dreds who were to start were evidently
scared by the weather and when the
time came to move only six were on
hand. These rode as far as Waukegan
when all but two turned back.
The slump in the number of arrivals
from the east is undoubtedly due to the
failure of some to secure rates on the
railroads. 1t had been expected that
one fare and 81 would be made, but
when the time came it was discovered
that no arrangements for such pro-
ceeding had been made and therefore
very few came. There are a few regis
trations from Philadelphia and from
other eastern cities.

HIS FOURTEENTH TRIP.

While the democratic state conven-
ton was in session on Tuesday last,
Congressman George B. Mcclellan, who
was a delegate, sat in his seat calmly
reading a small book, and to all APP
pearanCes utterly oblivious of the
storm that was going on about him
The yells of the spectators, the speech
of the chairman, and the buzz of the
conversation of his neighbors. either
passed in one of his ears and out of
the other or missed him entirely, for
he went on turning the pages of his
book deliberately. His composure
and apparent studiOusness were so
marked that a number of his friends
among the reporters fell to guessing
what he was reading.

Renaissance Of Early Days With the
Poet in Denver.

Denver, July 15.-"I travelled in the
and all the earth was green, but say,
nothing was half so green as was in
that day"
Thus spake Frank L. Thayer, who
came back to Denver after an absence
of twenty-five years. He said this
while he shook hands with W n.
Byers and parried the penetrating
smile of Wolfe Londoner.
At one time, time somewhat prev
ious to 1870, Mr. Thayer travelled on
the continent and correspondent with
the Boston Traveller. He also sent
some spicy tidings to the New York
papers, but all the time he dallied with
commerce, and he dallied for coin, the
which he placed in his clothes.
Know emf" said he this morning.
referring to Denver's estimabIe an
clients, I'll never forget the time Gene
Field paid his bill to Perrin who, at
that time, ran the SWEETEST barroom
and cafe the city afforded.
His place was on Lawrence street,
between Sixteenth and Seventeenth.
1t was a swell resort-with a bar that
glittered and a grillroom that invited
to ease and good dinners. Gene Field
was a favorite with Perrin, hence
Genes score on the books was long.
Zone day Gene took six friends to
luncheon at PERKINS,. I was one Of
them The menu was attractive, the
bill was long. When we had eaten and
drunk our fill Gene took the friends to
the bar for a final draught. He also
carried along the bill, which he tossed
