"a Barrel of Money" was presented at
the Park Theater yesterday afternoon by
the Holden Dramatic Company before an
unusually large audience. With this play
the engagement of the company comes to
an end, likewise the season of 1%900-1901. A
piece better adapted for the end of the
season at the Park could scarcely have
been selected. "a Barrel of Money was
given last year at the same house and
proved a powerful magnet for drawing
large audiences. Yesterday afternoon there

THE ANNUAL ROAD RACE
ARTHUR CHANDLER WINS TINE AND
FIRST PRIZE.
The Start Was Made Over n Very
Rough Road-List of Those
Who Finished.

The unusual feature of the annual road
race was Arthur Chandler, of Allisonville.
winning both the time and first prize. He
belonged to the three-minute squad and
made the entire distance of twenty-four
miles in one hour. three minutes and seven
seconds.
The start was made over a very rough
road. Starting from the Business Mems
Driving Park. which had become heavy
by the rains in the early morning, the rest
of the road through the entire distance
was full of mudholes. After leaving the
park the riders in Central avenue had a
hard task riding through new gravel for
some distance. These hard conditions con-
fronting the riders it is no wonder that a
great number fell from their wheels. Fast
time was out of the question.
Long before the hour for calling the race
a good sized crowd had made its appear
ance' at the park. As soon as all the rid
ers were on the ground little time was los.
in getting them away on the course. As
the first men started out they were COM
PEELED to cut large burrows through the
thick mud. Later riders found the condi-
tons worse. There were eight youngsters
in the four-minute class, the limit. AS they
got away the crowd gave them a hearty
cheer of Encouragement. In the remaining
squads to leave there were not over eight
men in each. In the scratch men. the last
TO get started, there were seven. This
small number was due largely 10 the I'M
favorable conditions.
As a way of entertainment during the
race Il trick rider was to have made hi
appearance, but he failed to show up. a
number of small boys ran foot races.
About hal. an hour after the start OF the
race Charles Morgan returned, having
given up the task on account of a broken
chain. Later Harry Berger returned with
a broken rim. SoQn the advance of the rid
ers WHO completed the course began stray
glirg IN. Some lively sprints were INDUCED
In by some, but others were too tired to
make much effort to get home.
There was a protest entered by w. T.
Parsons. the second man I'm. claiming that
Chandler did rot complete the course. The
tagger at Allisonville says he tagged
Chandler at that point and as 1t is imposs,-
bic 1" cut any territory after leaving that
place 1t is hardly likely that the contention
viii be sustained. Chandler, by winning is
entitled TO three bicycles. w. II. Parsons,
who came in second, gets one wheel.
T~wenty-seven prizes In all were offered.
Following is a list of those who finished:

Princeton Beaten by Cornell.

ITHACA, n. u, May 30.-Cornell athletes
administered a severe defeat to the Prince
ton team to-day. GU of 104 points the
Ithacans took "a, this being by far the best
showing ever made by Cornell in this
branch of sports. The track was heavy
and weather conditions very unfavorable
for record smashing, yet Sears, the fresh
man wonder, lowered the Cornell record in
the northumberland dash, the official
time being 10 1-5 seconds. His work In this
event was, according TO some, many times
faster than 10 seconds fiat, and it is thought
that under favorable conditions he could
have equaled the intercollegiate record.
He carried off the qIarter-mile event with
case in 81 40 seconds, and won the 220-yard
dash by a good margin I'm % As seconds.
