A LITTLE PIECE OF STRING.
How HOyt Held His Own at Manhattan
Reach Last Night.

How HOyt Held His Own at Manhattan
Beach Last Night.
The fffty-mile paced bicycle race was the
principal contest at the first night meet
held at the Manhattan Beach track last
night. Lights had been placed at regular
intervals around the track. so that the
banked oval and it's riders could be seen
with partial disttnctness by the spectators
in the stands. EIkes ives satisfied with his
victory in the afternoon, leaving the fifty
mile race to Hoyt. McEachren, Linton and
Pierce. McEachren took the lead at the
start, and finished the first mile in 1.41 3-5.
McEachren continued to set a lively clip,
covering the five miles in s23 Is and the
ten miles in 1852 20.
At fifteen miles the man from Nova Sco-
tia was still In front, closely pursued by
1884 80. Then Hoyt forged to the front
and remained there to the finish of the
fifty miles. his time being one hour, thirty
minutes and two seconds Pierce was sec
ond in one hour. thirty-two minutes and
six and one-ffth seconds.
In the progress of the race John Barnett.
the referee, thought that he saw through
a clever subterfuge by Hoyt and promptly
Hoyt until after the conclusion of the race.
This gave the race to Pierce. with Nc
Eachren second and Linton third. About
$500 spectators were present.
Barnett said that the man on the rear Of
Hoyt's pacing tandem had piece of string
protruding from his sweater, and that
Hoyt held the end of the string in his
mouth In this way the claim was made
that Hoyt was better able to hold on to his
pace and help him to win. The little piece
OF string could not be seen from the stands.
but the officials on the track said they saw
it plainly.

Plant Virginia Creeper.
From the Hartford Post.

Timely notice is directed by the New
York Tribune to the vine variously known
as poison ivy, or mercury, the scientific
name being rhus toxicodendron, and a call
is made for the extinction of the vine 1t
is easily destroyed. and there is not a sin
gle valid reason for not destroying it, for It
is not nearly SO ornamental as the harm
less Virginia creeper, which will flourish
wherever 1t will. and even more profusely.
The rhus Is an unmitigated nuisance and an
evil of suficient magnitude to warrant the
takiag Of formal. systematic and energetic
steps for it's annihilation.

Messrs. Editors of the Beacon
As sequel to the courteous recep-
ton of Prof. G. q. Marden who
represented the Folklore Society
on the recent excursion of the Mary
land Dem ocratic Editors Assocla-
ton to Fredericksburg, Va, we beg
leave to submit the following sug-
gestions which may be utilized as a
means of creating and fostering an
interest in Maryland FOLKLORE.
First. We would suggest that
You emphasize in your newspaper
the importance of collecting and
preserving local superstitions, ira
ditions, weather-signs, harvest-cus-
toms, popular medicine, etc.
Second. In the above connection
it would seem advisable to call the
attention of your readers to the ex-
istence of the Maryland Folk Lore
Society, to the Collection of Mary
land Folklore which the Society
is preparing for publication, and f.
nally, to the desirabilitY of estab-
fishing in your neighborhood To-
cal branch of the Society. All
communications in connection with
the last named suggestion should
be addressed to Miss Anne Weston
Whitney, Secretary, 6l5 st. Paul
ST., Baltimore.
Third. As editor. you are in a
position to render invaluable assist
ance by publishing folklore items
Ia your newspaper, and by encour-
aging your subscribers and readers
to send in contributions for publi-
cation. As a means of arousing
local interest in the matter, we re-
specially suggest that the first
contribution be made by your edi-
torial staff in the form of some local
tradition, family legend, short col
lection of weather proverbs, popular
remedies, harvest customs, or the
like.
Fourth. The Maryland Folk
Lore Society is interested, primarily
in encouraging Marylanders to col
lect and preserve a special class of
valuable historical material. This
material, when collected, will be of
the utmost value for the Society's
forthcoming publication. In order,
however, that the collection of
the Maryland folklore may be q

The Duke of Devonshire, president of
the council, defended the war Office

The Duke of Devonshire, president of
the council, defended the war Office
system.
Lord Roseberry described Lord
Wolseley's speech as a public spirited
effort to call attention to some of the
defects he had found in the practical
workings of the army administration.
He said Lord Lansdownea reply was a.
censure of Lord Wolseley which had no
reference to the subject. He suggested
secret parliamentary inquiry into the
deficiencies of the war office.
Lord Salisbury said the disciplinists
had not realized that the army was un-
der parliament and that the minister
who controlled the army did it as one
responsible to parliament and repre-
sented all the authority with which par
ilament invested him. The command
erin chief must be subordinate to the
necretary Of state. The system had
worked well in the past and must be
made to work we'll in the future. Sue
cess would not be attained alone by the
machine, however perfect, but, as at
tested by every page of history, sim
ply by the strength, brilliancy and
vigor Of the men employed.
