tlonal holiday and extremely hot, thus
showing the great fascination the
work has for them. One of the two
was Meyer Lewis, who is this morning

The other was Arthur c. Grifns, of
Montrose, who passed David o.

eleventh place.
There is plenty OF room for anIbi-

BAND STAND is FINISHED
The Free Concerts Which It Was Ex-
pected Would Be Given There
Have Not Materalized.

Considerable disappointment has been
felt among the members of the Bicycle
club since the completion of their band
stand. at the refusal of Bauers band
to give weekly concerts.
The stand was completed about two
weeks ago. 1T having been erected with
the sole purpose in view of being util-
ized for a weekly band concert free for
the club and the general public. Previ-
Gus to work being started upon it, Mr..
Bauer was asked whether he would be
willing to give a concert once a week,
IL the club furnished him a stand, and
Is declared TO have signified his will
ingness.
Whereat the club made arrangements
with Mrs. Atherton, who owns the large
lot at Olive street and Washington ave-
nue., Immediately adjoining the club
house, and set to work to transform
the long, sloping piece of ground into a
hand ball court and site for a band
stand.
The necessary funds came out of the
pockets of the club members, who en-
tertained visions of warm summer
nights spent on their porch, reclining
at ease In comfortable chairs, their feet
on the railing, while from the stand
nearby noated the brisk airs heard in
winter at the successful operas of the
year.
The handball court cost the least,
most of the funds being devoted TO the
stand, which is now proving a sort of
white elephant on the hands of the
club. The band belongs to the Music
ians' union, and has scruples against
free concerts. Hence the hitch.

tdltor OF Inc tribune.
Sir: Considerable has been printed in local
papers recently concerning the arrest OF s. d. Mar.
tino on charge OF forging the name OF G. Obici,
the secretary Of the Victor Emanuel society, TO
a notice OF the death Of a member A certain
Sunday paper OF a few days ago in deyoting near.
ly column of space TO the question published
a number Of mis-statements that ] think should
he denied and corrected.
The paper in question makes il appear that
Mr. Martiuo really did sign the name OF Obici
10 the death notice referred TO- As a matter OF
fact the name of Obic was added 10 the notice
without the desire or knowledge Of Mr.. Martino.
The printer had blank form OF notice aud the
last previous one contained the name of Ohici.
In addirg the name OF Mr.. MARITIME as president
the printer forgot 10 lift out the name OF Obici,
and that is why Obici's name appeared on the
death notice 10 which tine secretary has taken
exception. On account Of the printers error
Mr. Martno was arraiGned before Alderman Rud.
dy on charge OF forgery and held in bail 10 an.
suer in court.
The whole trouble arose over the burial oi
members and the contrariness of the secretary
in not consenting 10 any arrangement that would
accommodate the members in attending the fune
raj Of dead Dunmore member In the end, de.
spite the reports 10 the contrary, the Dunmore
member was buried in the morning and the cen.
tral city member in the afternoon Of the same
day, and all the membols, with few exceptions,
attended both services ] desire it known that
acted as ! did simply in the interests Of all
the members of the society and regard the charge
Of forgery made as more Of an insult TO the SO.
ciety than TO myself. In view of the facts, the
charge OF forgery raised is ridiculous. also
object to the breach OF faith shown by Obici in
inviting me to Ohici's store, and then meeting
there with constable armed with a warrant for
my arrest. S. d. Mdrtino.
