WOODBURr.

WOODBURY MAKING REAL PROGRESS.
 The contract for putting down the II ,OOO running feet of tar walk in the fire district has been awarded to John Humphrey of New Haven, who already has put down long stretch of it. Those who have seen his work are pleased with it. He does not rush the work and is evidently building a walk to stay. The work will take couple of months or more. After tramping about on mud and cinder paths for a century or more the present generation are putting down good walks. The improvements made in WoOdbury in 10 years are almost wonderful to con- template, and it has now nearly all the improvements of city. A good public water and a graded school, and now good walks. And, thls in an in- land country town, supposed to be going backward instead of forward. A great deal of credit for this improve ment is due to the public spirited ac- tion of such men as Judge Huntington, Attorney Warner, F. F. Hitchcock and Parson Wyckoff. A comparatively few men mould public opinion in any town, and in this case the men have cast their influence for progression. Woodbury's most pressing need now is the trolley, better communication with the outside world. It won't hurt the local merchants bit; the chances are that it would build up local trade. Then give the fire district street lights and your model town will not be ex- celled in attractions in Connecticut. And these things will come.

that the trio came to salt Lake with
the intention of taking little rest, but
there is a strong suspicion that the un-
firing Mexican would not be aVerse to
mixing it with anything in his class
for the edifcatiOn of the local fight fans
if the occasion arises. At any rate,
Bishop was besieged by a horde of pro-
motors, managers and pugs yesterday,
all of whom wanted to set the first
crack at the Mexican. As far as can
be learned, Bishop treated them all
alike and gave none definite intima-
ton Of what he intended to do.
When seen about the proposed
matches with Jack Downey and Billy
De Coursey, about which so much has
been said Of late, Bishop stated that
be had both these fighters under con-
slderatiOn, but had not positively made
up his mind whether he would send the
Mexican against either one of them.

H0F MAN AND
HOPPER STARS
These Two Speedy Pros Garry
Off all the Races.
FORMER WINS MOTOR EVENT
ANOTHER BIG CROWD ATTENDS
RACES AT SAUCER TRACK.

A prominent cycling enthusiast said
last evening that the management Of
the saucer track would have to run sew
eral more tiers of seats around the
saucer rim or place a lot of chairs
OF the dome of the Salt Palace to &C
ccmmodate the crowds if business con-
tnued to keep up. 1t looks as If some
thing like this would have to be done,
judging from the way the races have
been patronized this season. Last
night was another record breaking
crowd and they were given a good
evenings sport to warrant it.
The feature was the ten mile motor
race between Holman and Hopper. two
OF the saucer's most popular riders,
The riders tossed a coin for the choice
OF motors and Holman won To this
fact can be attributed his winning the
race The Los Angeles boy secured
the machine known as the Chapman
motor and firmly tucked on behind
this powerful pacing machine he Sc
cured all the best of the pace. Hopper
won the toss for position and taking
the pole held it for two miles, when
Holman with a burst of speed took
the lead away from him. They re-
manned ia these relative positions until
the end Of the race. Twice Hopper
came up from behind with a rush, but
his machine could not carry him. fast
enough to 80 around the Los Angeles
boy. On one occasion. Hopper dropped
his pace while riding high on the bank,
but regained it again before going
quarter Of a lap.
An Interesting Race.
The mile professional handicap was
by far the most interesting sprint race
Of the evening. The back men. HOf-
man, Hopper and Stevens, teamed
against the bunch Of limit riders, and
for the first time this season were COM
PEELED to ride to get the money. The
two punches paced each other, both
going at full speed until the seventh
lap, when Hopper went out with
sprint carrying Holman up to the
leaders Holman went around, Hopper
lacking on as ne came by and this
pair landed a first and second. Stevens
was all in from the effects of his fast
pacing at the beginning of the race.
The professional and amateur mile
post races were both fast events from
start to finish Ia these races prizes
were given at each quarter. which
compelled the riders TO go all the way.

that they can get the church ct the old
offer of $4,000 Rev. Mr.. LeiHch was
present and led the discussion. There
was q great deal OF talk by the few mem

board has become known and the impos-
sibility of the local chUrchs raising the

suggested by which the board of educa-

are as follows:

for the High school The Congregational
