AT THE COLISEUM TONIGHT.

The Motor Paced Rqce-The Giant and the
 Midget-Big Crowd Tonight
 Joe Nelson and Harry Caldwell, the con- testants in the motor paced race at the The pair, a foot apart in stature and hundred pounds apartin weight, looked at each other. "Joe,'~ said Harry, "I hailed your brother Johnnie as wonder when he defeated me at Bridgeport July 4, 1900, and lowered All the worlds records from three to thirty miles, and I now hall his little brother as another wonder. That record work nt Pittsburg was fine" Little Joe took It all with modesty, and when Caldwell said, Are you going to beat me, Guess I have good pace"
 This great paced race has drawn the in- terest of every lover of cycle racing in New Haven, and the largest crowd ever known at the Coliseum Is expected there tonight. Giant" and the Midget" and their great race, and the curiosity of the people to see riders of such difference in appearance meet upon an equality is shown in the way Tn which crowds follow the riders everywhere
 Joe Nelson is such a little fellow that In appearance he reminds one of school boy. The youngsters cannot seemingly under stand where so tiny lad gets his strength to ride as Nelson has been riding, and the little Swede cannot say himself, He just sets back of his pace and fights to a finish every time, and the hearts of the people always go out to a rider whose pluck is so unquestioned.
 Caldwell, big as giant and strong as bull is no stronger of heart nor apparently of muscle than this youngster, the sensa- tlon of the cycling. year. Nelson is every where hailed as a wonder and the name is one given years ago to Johnnie, the great brother of Joe, whose life paid the forfeit of his pluck, but whose fatal accident never deterred Joe from making even greater en- deavors to win his races
 There will be some very high-class anna teur racing to fill out to-night's program. Teddy Ellington, the pride of Vailsburg, and Charles Schlee. the young cycle giant who won the lap prize in last Tuesday nights big 20-mile race, are among the latest entries received. With HoIister, the sensational Springfield crack, Ernst, Stan der, Llnley, Haggerty and about 20 others the sprints should provide some very inter- estlng results.
 Ellington Is here to train for the amateur championships of America, which occur here expected to arrive here to-day

Stock Market Letter-The General Ol

Stock Market Letter-The General Out
 look.
 New York, Aug. 11-Considering the unfavorable exhibit of the banks on Saturday last, it seemed surprising rather that our market even with the slight encoura cement it received from London opened as firm as it did, and what is more, that in most instances it maintained its firmness and advan- ces. Without doubt the inherent strength is the outlook for very larg crops. The condition of the latter has now reached a point, where it cannot be ramaged seriously any more. In our opinion the question of prices for com modities hereafter should play promi- nent part as far as prices of stocks are concerned, and deserve attention on the part of investors as we'll as spectators. Carrying capacity of railroads will be taxed to it's utmost at the same time differential freight rates will be estab lished and the net earnings of the diff ferent systems may not be in proportion to the amount of freight handled so very much in excess as when crops were small and prices for the products high. Most of the grangers are not only appa- rently but intrinsically selling on a high level; there are properties, hoWev- CT, which closely allied with them, and not as yet touched by the magnates, who so far manipulated the prices of the better class which in our opinion deserve attention. The same may be said of some low priced, dividendpay- ing industrials because the latter if the prosperity of the country which now seems apparent, does materialize, the low priced stocks as contributory to the earning capacity of the high priced ones participate in proportion to late ad vances. Money on call 1-2; time mon- ey per cent; foreign exchange firm but little doing; short sterling SASS. Lon- don on arbitage business was not fac- tor in themarket to-day.
 Wheat was lower under the glowing crop reports of all cereals. Cotton did not change much; crop reports are very favorable for large yield, but the inn mediate situation is so strong that pres ent prices for the near months offer few Inducements for short sales. With the advent of the closing hours stocks became easier; professional traders seem to seek their vantage on the bear side. There is not public or sufficient outside interest enough to stem the tide of reaction and the large holders as we'll as manipulating interests do not seem adverse to temporary reactions. The close of the market was irregular and in the main weak. Total sales 620,500.

out after lantern that was left in the
barn and when she returned she found
him in the kitchen face downward

what, he just gurgled in his throat
and was gone. He was laid to rest in

ting.
Mr.. Watson leaves wife and seven

But his God, who hath bereft US,
He can all our sorrows feel.

A GRAND LECTURE.
An Enthusiastic Crowd Listen to
Preston W. Search.

Prof. Preston w. Search. who lee
tured last Friday at the normal.school
was greeted by large audience of en-
thusiastic students and citizens. The
lecture was graphic of interesting life
and quaint customs over the seas.
Professor Search has spent much time
in Europe. living the life of the people
and in studying the customs and
ideals. His descriptions of the enthus-
iastic, excitable and volatile French
man, of the wild and uncomfortable
characteristics of a French mob and
particularly of such gathering where
he participated with hundred thous-
and Frenchmen in gala reception to
Paul Kruger were intensely interest
ing. The lecturer made delightful
bicycle ride from Paris to Switzerland,
about FIVE hundred miles, through
rural France to study peasant life and
is full of enjoyable "reminiscences OF
strange scenes and adventures by tire
way. His descriptions of scenes with.
in the homes and inns and schools, OF
marriage advertisements and contracts,
of weddings and funerals attended, OF
professions and picnics, of children,
and of meeting with people OF all
classes are rich in vivid glimpses into
the social conditions of picturesque
France.
From violate, irrepressable but
artistic France, Professor Search turns
to delightful characterization OF the
German. Germany is land of fami-
lies, of magnificent education and
noble music. Nowhere else do the
people live so much in the open air,
nor is the family so greatly the unit.
The descriptions of life met in the
home, of the family, in long walks
upon the mountain side, the pictures
of children, and of festivals and stu
dent life are particularly pleasing.
The lecture closed with laughable
description of how poor students cap
tured a German theatre and with
powerful contrast of the condition Of
American women with the European
women with the heavy burdens on her
back and her limited opportunity to
arise over the environments of the
centur les The lecture was strictly
educa tional but it had such a vivit
setting of quaint glimpses into pictur
esque life that it was as entertaining
as it was instructive. 1t was almos
like a visit to Europe itself.
Professor Search is to remain TO-
three lectures next week. His subjec
for Monday night will be "Th'
Greatest Pictures in the World, illus
trated by stereopticon views. Thi
lecture will give the people rare
opportunity to see the most famou
pictures in the world, with masterl.
Interpretation which cannot fail t
make the occasion one of great educa
tional value to every man, woman
and child who attend.
