Fitzhugh for Central Vermont.

R. s. Logan resigned his position as
vice president and general manager of
the Central Vermont Friday and E. H.
Fitzhugh was again appointed to the
place.
The Centrals lack of motive power
and rolling stock has long been matter
OF comment in railroad circles, and as the
roadbed and bridges are in excellent
condition, and capable of carrying the
heaviest class OF engines and traffic, it
seems settled that Improvements in this
direction will immediate be inaugu-
rated. The extension OF the Rutland
road between Burlington and Rouses
Point, connecting the latter point with
the Ogdensburg and Lake Champlain,
which 1t has acquired, has, it is said, Sc
rlously effected the passenger traffic of
the Central Vermont. Last year the
passengers carried one mile show de-
crease of 1113, the earnings of passenger
train mile 0,96 cents, decrease of O.0S
cents, while the earnings per passen ger
mile increased 002 cents. For The year
the percentage of expenses to earnings
was rs As per cent, as compared with
IA 33 per cent the preceding year, the
net surplus being only $2SO3.9 81, as com.
pared with $12S, $40, for the former
twelve months.

LESSON THOUGHTS.
To conquer our temptations, let US
first avoid all we can; if they must
be met, let them come to us, do not seek
for them.
Let us not attempt to meet and over
come temp ations single-handed. At the
throne OF God wemay find grace to help
in time of need.
Evils do not give up after one defeat.
Really to col quer our temptations
means that we shall persevere, though
the fight must be repeated many times.
SELECTIONS.
Prayer, after all is the complete suit of
chain armor. The enemy will make but
little inroad upouthe men and women OF
prayer. The old couplet is as true as
ever
Satan trembles when he sees
The weakest saint upon his knees"
However much we fight our battles,
no wise person will iail to seek strong
allies. Evil conpanionship gives a
tremendous force to temptation; good
companions are powerful defense.
Best of all all tempted ones may
have the support OF One that was in all
points tempted like as we are, and offers
them his strong arm in the stress of con-
fict- IA. W. Kelky.
And every virtue we possess,
And every victory won,
Is his alone -[W. K. Chaplin
Eye shall receive power after the Holy
Ghost is come nIon you" Here is the
secret of the overcoming life; walk in the
Spirit Cultivate each day a conscious
dependence upot him. 1t is he alone
that dwells in us both to will and to do
his good pleasure His alone is the will
to determine andtAe energy to do.
soul that follfwest hard behind thy
Lord,
With foes on eve.y side that wound thee
sore,
Hearten thy wRvering courage and en-
dure!
Sharper the conflict nobler the reward;
The captain whom thou servest hath in
store
Not one defeat lis victories are sure.

WITH THE WHEELMEN
Billy Fem Rides a Wonderful Race
 and Makes a Record.

f lNt < {
 # On the four-lap board track at Vails- burg, N. J., there was held yesterday what probably was the most sensa- tional bicycle race meet ever run i'll one afternoon. Professional and anna teur records went by the board, and 5000 spectators were kept on their feet cheering most of the time over the exciting contests.
 First came the amateur champion, Hurley, flashing across the tape with a new competition record for the quar- ter mile. The old record was 29 sec onds made by M. Coffey, and Hurley beat it by 2 3-5 seconds.
 The most remarkable performance came with the running of the 1O-mile professional handicap. Forty men were started and at eight miles twenty Live of the forty men were left in the race and from that on they were all closely punched. The pace did not slacken from start to finish. It was furious riding and the crowd was kept yelling. Fenn's ride from scratch was amazing. He fought his way through and around the big field and beat out a 24O-yard man at the finish by length and a half. His time was 1 minute and IT 1-5 seconds faster than ever before has been known for ten-mi1e ride ill competition, not to mention the big field on a small track. The former record was g minutes 12 2-5 seconds, made by Kramer, October 6, 1901. l Walter Smith went out behind motor pace to make new amateur mark for one mile. He succeeded by riding it 1 in 1 minute 26 2-5 seconds. En- couraged by this and the favoring con dition young Smith went out again to capture the amateur record for five miles behind pace and he set new marks for every mile from one to five inclusive. The old records made by Joe Nelson were: :2S; 3:03 3-5; 4; 36 45; Gil 1-5; 7:49. Smiths times are: 1 :23 3-5; 2:53 1-5; 4:23; 5: 52 3-5; 7:1s 3-5.
 One other sensational race in which no record was made was the two-mile amateur handicap, in which the handi- capper landed four scratch men in the | first four places.

 Nothing has been heard from Jesse Foley or Jack Harvey since the chal- 1enge was published the other day by Jack Roach to wrestle either one. or them for $1OO side and let the winner take everything. A forfeit of $25 has been in the hands of the sporting editor of the Democrat and this has not yet been. covered. John E. Kelly, who IS Roach, was a caller at the office this morning and he made the following statement. sT do not believe that either Foley or Harvey want to wrestle Roach. They are afraid of him and they know it. Tn order to prove it l will make match for Roach to wres- tie Harvey at 125 pounds at the ring side Harvey said that he would not wrestle Roach at 12S pounds but he would at 125.

Waterbury broke the string of hard luck and poor playing on Saturday when the locals went up against Jim O'Rourke's bunch and sent them down to defeat. The trouble for the Bridgeports began in the very first inning when Murphy was knocked out [ of the box. Waterbury made many errors, but they were not very costly. i. Charley Clancy was in great form and allowed the visitors but four hits. Me- Andrews. the new third baseman, handled himself well and at the bat made a pretty three bagger.
