trail High School gathered in the Assembly
Hall at o'clock, this morning to witness

schools. The trophy was then presented

cepted by Mr.. Dear, the champion sprinter

DICK DEAR TO RUN AT BUFFALO.
VIII Meet the Crack Sprinters of the
Country There.


Dick Dear, the idol of the high school
students of Washington, is going to try to
win fresh honors on the cinder path. The
managers of the Central High School Ath-
letic Association sent his entry to the Buff
falo exposition meet next Saturday and
last night they received a telegram say
ing that his entry would be accepted. In
this meet Dear will be pitted against the
cracks of the country, but his friends in
this city are confident he will make fine
showing. and as Arthur Duffy is not in the
best condition Dear has more than a fair
chance of winning the 1O0-yard champion
ship.
The athletic trainer at Georgetown Uni
versity is confident that in a short time
Dear will be able to equal, If not lower
the worlds record. He has covered the
distance in ten seconds on two different
occasions and in neither competition was
he pushed to his limit. A sprinter finds
the conditions quite different with a run
ner by his side to make him extend him
self to the full limit from being out in
front and covering the ground alone.
Dick will probably leave for Buffalo Fri
day morning or afternoon and for the next
few days will continue light exercise so as
to be in prime condition for Saturdays

Mr.. Wyatt Lees reputation as winning

the game by the score of 3 to l. The ac-

THE PIERCE-McEACHERN RACE.
1t Promises to BE a FierceIy Fought
Contest.

The big match race between Burns Pierce
and Archie McEachern, the two Canadians,
takes place tomorrow night at the Coli
scum, 14th and East Capitol streets, and
from the outlook will be one of the most
fiercely fought contests seen on the track
this season.
This is by reason of the fact that Pierce
was defeated by McEachern last night in
Baltimore in a twentymile race. Pierce
will make strong effort to win the second
race of his series with Archie, and a hot
contest is bound to be the outcome. Both
men are known throughout the country as
the bulldogs of the north, and the race
last night clearly demonstrated this fact.
They bitterly contested every mile and, in
fact, every lap of the race. If these riders
put up similar race at the Coliseum to-
morrow night some fast time and close
finish can be expected.
Pierce is clever at tagging on the rear of
his motor, and he will undoubtedly give a
better account of himself in his second
race with McEachern than he did with
TayIore last week in this city. While he
rode rings around the French champion
last week, he did not exert himself to any
great extent at any time during the race.
He will however, have to eXpend his speed
and exert himself if he expects to come out
victorious in tomorrow nights race.
McEachern, on the other hand, is also
a speedy rider and good pace follower.
several occasions In races where his pacing
went down and he was obliged to ride to
the finish line without pace. In his race
with Pierce last night in the monumental
city he covered the distance of twenty
miles in 81 minutes and 30 seconds, which
is only 81 seconds slower than the worlds
record for this distance, made by Harry
Elkes, the GlenS Falls rider.
The other events preliminary to the big
race will include a one-mile novice, one
mile handicap and tandem pursuit race.
1t is the first tandem event this season
and will bring out a large field of amateur
riders. The other amateur events will in
clude a large list of entries, and close fin
ishes will be in order during the meet.
Saturday night the management will mold
its first all-amateur meet. The events will
include a one-mie novice, one-mile handi-
cap. a half-mile open and a police pursuit
race. The races will all prove interesting,
and the largest field of amateur riders
ever gathered together in the city will con-
test in the different events Saturday night.
The races will commence at 8 o'clock.
The match race which was to take place
between Tom Linton and Albert Champion
Saturday night has been postponed.

row afternoon. The first shoot for the
medal was won by Lieut.. VIM. Mitchell.
U. S. A, and the second by Phil Steubener.
1t must be won, as heretofore announced,
three times before it becomes the perma-
nent property of an entry. The conditions
are 30 targets, sixteen yards for IL and
II yards rise for 2S-gauge guns. the en-
trance fee being only the cost of the tar
gets, which are cents each.
The conditions governing the match are
to be changed, and handicaps will be al
lowed to many entries. Lieut.. mitchell,
Phil Steubener Bud Brown and the other
90 per cent men will be put at scratch and
allowances of certain numbers OF broken
targets will be made for those who do not
make usually such averages.
There is some misunderstanding about
entering for the medal match. An impress
sion seems to be prevalent that only those
who entered on the first day of the con-
test, Decoration day, are eligible to shoot.
This is a mistake. Any resident OF the
District can enter on any Thursday while
the event is in progress.

MR. sHEPARD's FRIEND FROMME.

In his speech on Wednesday evening at the
st. Nicholas Rink Mr.. Shepard devoted some
attention TO the anti-Tammany candidates for
other offices than Mayor He especially at
tackled Mr. Jacob A Cantor, the fusion candi-
date for President of the Borough of Manhat-
tan, as a former Tammany man and friend of
John c. Sheehan. He wanted TO know If Mr..
r. Fulton Cutting and Mr.. Everett 2. Wheeler
and other reformers would say. Jacob A.
Cantor is our ideal of a borough president.
He is an ideal candidate, and he is the man
I'VE would have chosen for the Office" and he
answered They will do nothing of the kind
On the same platform with Mr.. Shepard, pre-
siding over the meeting and introducing Mr..
Croker's candidate for Mayor. was ike"
Fromme, the associate of Mr. Shepard on the
Tammany ticket candidate for President Of
the Borough of Manhattan. Frommes chief
title TO fame rests on his ability to gorge more
beefsteak than any of the men he is commonly
permitted TO associate with. Beyond that he
is known as the protege of Tim" Sullivan, and
is generally reported TO be a close adviser of
the gambling combine, reputation which he
does not resent or deny. so far as we have ever
heard For days strenuous efforts have been
made to get Mr.. Shepard TO say what he
thought of Fromme, as well as of Unger. as
fellow candidates, but without success. If he
fore yesterday anybody had asked us If Edward
NJ. Shepard would say Ike Fromme is my

candidate, and he is the man 1 should have
"chosen for the Office" we should have
swered: He will do nothing of the kind" Mr..
Shepard in his right mind neither commends.
approves nor associates with fellows like
Fromme. We should have thought that Mr..
Shepard's character and his studied silence dur
ing the campaign warranted us in giving that
assurance. We find, however, that Mr. Shepard
is quoted as having spoken at the ST. Nicholas
Rink OF "my-friend who presdes tonight and
"who is your candidate for President of the
Borough" That was Fromme, beefeating
Fromme the gamblers own.
Thus does the immaculate Mr.. Shepard make
friends on his downward road. He would not
have done it a week ago. He lodged questions
about Fromme even on the day he finally con-
cluded TO swallow him as friend and attack
for his dear sake the fusion candidate for Bor-
ough President.

A GOOD PRECEDENT.

No incident OF President Roosevelts success
full visit 10 New-Hayen as the guest Of Yale this
week has been more widely noticed than the
deliberate abandonment at the largely attended
reception in the new university dining hall Of
the foolish custom OF handshaking so long OBJ
served on similar occasions. Immediately after
the tragedy in Buffalo The Tribune earnestly
expressed the conviction that the President OF
the United States should never again be sub
jected TO so unnecessary and dangerous a de-
mand upon bis strength, and we have recurred
TO the topic several times. The resolution taken
on Wednesday. at the suggestion, 1t is under
stood, of President Hadley, gave not the slight
est offence, but has been generally recognized
as thoroughly sensible and proper.
Secretary Cortelyou is quoted as saying that
the precedent set at New-Haven may not be
followed hereafter, but there is every reason
for hoping that ii will be. The custom is old,
but its antiquity does not invest 1t with any
claim 10 permanence. In fact it becomes more
Objectionable from year TO year, as the exac-
tions of the Presidential Office increase with the
growth of the country and the possibilities Of
criminal assault on the Presidents person null
tiply. Originally there was no particular harm
in IL though il was never really appropriate TO
a meeting of the Chief Magistrate and the gen
eral public; but in these days it is utterly out
of place, and it should be permanently discon-
tinued forthwith.
There is no need to fear hostile criticism. If
there are persons silly enough TO think that the
Presidents refusal 10 shake hands with every
body invited or admitted TO his presence would
be mark of offensive pride and exclusiveness,
their protests may well be ignored. The Amer
lean people are abundantly endowed with COM
mon sense and would heartily approve regu-
lation so clearly required for the security and
comfort Of the head of the government whose
unavoidable burdens are quite as heavy as he
can safely carry.

ment is rather surprising; but, however that
may be- fears were expressed during the in
vestigation that the country, shocked by the
exposure of brutalities practised at the Mill
tary Academy, would draw unjust conclusions
and evince a feeling Of hostility seriously In
furious to the institution But that apprehen-
sion was soon seen to be groundless- The pub
lie Disseminated between a general rule of
good conduct and the fragrant exceptions there

abuses should cease, made a reasonable allow
ance for the force Of tradition to which Colonel
Mills alludes, and accepted in good faith the
cadets pledge of future compliance with the
regulations. Not long afterward, at the sec
ond Inauguration of President Mckinley, the
corps received conspicuous marks of popular
favor, and a couple of months ago. at the Buff
falo exhibition it had a similarly agreeable
experience. There is ample evidence that the
Academy is still regarded with confidence and
admiration throughout the country as the best
military school in the world well deserves to be.
The report of Colonel Mills, so fully justifying
the measures adopted and the expectations
formed in consequence of the Investigation, will
enhance the pride which the public rightly
feels in the institution at West Point.

STATESNAYSRTP RUN TO COVER.

The Democratic managers in Ohio have
shown this year that discretion which is COM
amended as the better part of valor in linn
iting TO ten days their active speaking cam
paign. Having sighted, on grounds of 'ex-
pediency," the declarations of the last two ma
tional platforms. and seen torn down and
trampled on without protest the portrait Of the
peerless commoner" who led the party in its
last two Presidential campaigns. the forces
which controlled this years convention at Co
lumbus would naturally shrink from avowing
and defending on the stump their boisterous
abandonment of the Nebraska orators political
theories and political fortunes Caution die
tated not only that the speaking canvass
should be shortened beyond all records, but
that orators from abroad-unable, perhaps 10
grasp the motives which inspired the Columbus
conventions onslaught Bryan and Bryan
ism-should not be permitted TO imperil by
some note Of discord the delicate harmony of
Colonel Kilbournes 'still hunt" canvass. The
doors have therefore been closed this year
against all outside Democratic talent, and only
home trained spellbinders bred TO native ideas
OF expediency and indirection in politics, have
been invited TO participate in the final ten-day
burst of elOquence which may or may not carry
Colonel Kilbourne triumphantly into the Gov
ernor's chair.
at Bucyrus Wednesday, the Democratic
State Committee erred on the side of reckless
ness in spreading its oratorical canvass through
two successive weeks. Colonel Kilbourne,
heading the list OF safe and wary home bred
speakers was the only one OF the six orators
present who ventured TO discuss the national
issues iegitimately involved in this years can

the legislature TO be chosen in November Of

aker has been on the stump for more than two
weeks, stating fully and frankly the grounds

tion. Practically the only opposition reply 10
bis arguments so far made-or likely 10 be
made-is contained in the vague and rambling
effort OF Colonel Kilbourne last "Wednesday 10

rations of dissatisfaction with the existing
American programme in the Philippines. Ac-
cording TO Colonel Kilbourne, the retention OF
the Philippines as American dependency
threatens the life OF the republic, and the
maintenance OF principles upon which rests
the only hope OF universal freedom" To this
vague and empty prophecy has dwindled the
fierce demand OF the Ohio Democracy two years
ago for the immediate recall from the Philip
pines of the American forces, ''unlawfully used
''to crush the course OF dawning republicanism
