The Grant Monument.

To the Editor Of The Evening Start
If the nation is to build monument to
Grant-not tomb like that on the Hudson,
but a monument as distinctively, vastly and
solitary as that to Washington-let it be
Grants and Grants alone, not job lot
with other generals. Mcclellan deserves a
monument, 80 does Sheridan-and nice ones
AS nice as anybedy's but Grants But for
arts sake, for the sake of historic truth
and in the name ct all that is good and
great, don't mix things incongruous. Wash
ington stands alone in his vast and eternal
fame. Equally grand and sublime soli-
tary and alone towering over all, is our
Grant! History gives him his appropriate
niche. Let art follow suit. Don't Siamese-
twin Grant with Mcclellan, or even Sheri-
dan Let it suffice that monuments. statues
and memorials OF all sorts abound for the
lesser generals, but for our Grant, one
only! Let 1t rise solitary and alone! The
Capitol Hill is It's place, towering above
the DOME conspicuous over all, If it cost
millions.

good for everyone, but particularly
for women. The various weak

catarrh of the mucous lining, and Pe-rti-na
is specific for catarrh in any organ of
the body. Any congestion of mucous

cures all sorts of troubles where other

LAST DAY OF THE RACE
BICYCLE RIDERS ENDURANCE CON-
TEST TO END TONIGHT.
Several Spirits Yesterday and n Few
Accidents-AIl still Far Be-
hind the Record.

NEW YORK, Dec. 4-Still far behind
the record established by Miller and Wal
Ter for a six-day bicycle race at Madison
square Garden, nine teams only of the orig
inal sixteen starters in this years event
are now left on the track. Hour after hour
yesterday, the fifth day, went by without
much change in position, the men all evil
IDENTIFY saving themselves as far as posi-
bic for the last grand squirt before the con-
test closes at midnight Saturday. 1t is
significant that of the American teams
originally entered six are still on the track.
five being in the lead. OF the foreign
teams entered only three are left.
All yesterday the teams steadily fell be-
hind the record, and at 8 o'clock last night
the figures showed that III miles and six
laps must be made up, an impossible
achievement. The strain has weeded the
field until now only those contestants are
left who are likely to stay in the race to
the end, with the possible exception of the
Swedes, one of whom-Julus-has retired.
Shortly after noon yesterday McLaren
went TO sleep on his wheel and fell but
was not seriously hurt.
Maya, of the Pennsylvania team, began a
sprint at o'clock last night, which lasted
so long that the riders were strung out all
over the track. Just at this time McEach-
ern and Wilson collided. Both were badly
cut and bleeding and their wheels were
smashed beyond repair, but neither was
badly hurt, and in a few minutes were
going again. Then McEachern and Wal
thour did some quick alternating, making
some fine spurts, but could not get more
than fifty yards ahead, and they had to
give it up. They managed, however, to
stir the excitement up to fever pitch
During sprint that followed McEach-
ern, McLeans, julius and Fredericks col
lided. They all went down in a heap, with
julius underneath. He was taken from the
track and examined by doctors, who found
that his collar bone had been fractured
Lawson was allowed TO finish the score for
the team. He will ride twelve hours to-
morrow without a partner.
At o'clock McLaren astonished the
crowd with a sprint and gained circuit of
the oval The sprint was remarkable for
the fact that McLaren had two nasty falls
during the day and was supposed to be on
the verge of collapse.
AT o clock this morning the scores were:
Butler and Mclean, 2,221 miles: Newkirk
and Munro, 2,221; McEachern and Wal
thour, 222l; Maya and Wilson, 2,221; Bah
cock and Turville, 2.221; King and Samuel
son, 2,22O miles laps; Hall and McLaren,
2,22O.3; Lawson and Julius, 2161.s; Freder-
icks and Jaak, 2.220 The leaders are 133
miles and laps behind the record.
