LAST HALF OF RACE

New York. Dec. 10.-with half the toll
and trouble over and facing the latter
half of their journey the riders in the
six-day race at Madison Square garden
all looked better last night than they did
at the end OF the first day. Considering
the dullness during the evening, the
overcrowded condition OF the body was
surprising The management announced
that up to noon the attendance had ex-

One interesting thing happened at 1890

half mile in 54 seconds. This is the record
made by j. 8. Johnson at Minneapolis

years that the record has been euualled.
Some sporting men relieved the dullness
of the slow. steady pace by Offering five
and ten-dolIar prizes for race of one
mile Leander won all the prizes.
The men are all anxious to see their
names at the top OF the score board
Today the team that is leading at the
end OF each hour will be put at the top.
An alarm clock will be rung one minute
before the end OF the hour. This is ex-
pected 10 result I'm a good sprint at least
once an hour. At II 80 there was a crowd
almost as big as that OF the opening
night watching an absolutely uninterest-
ing procession about the truck.
At $3.50 o'clock Barclay and Rettich re-
tired from the race. Barclay had then
ridden nearly four hours I'm agony. He
had TO be assisted 20 his quarters.

the weather be pleasant. II is possible that

Habits Of orators.

The accident which lately befell
Lord Rosebery's notes at Plymouth
has set people discussing the practice
of various speakers in regard to the
preparation of their speeches, says
the Manchester Guardian. The most
i~nyeterate writer-out of speeches was
the late Lord Derby, of whom a
story went that the manuscript Of
one of his most statesmanlike dis
courses, being picked up from the
floor, where it had fallen, was found
not only to be freely sprinkled with
"Hear hear" daughter and Gap
p%lause," but also to contain a pas
sage beginning "But I am OBTAINING
you too long (cries of No, mo- and
60 on.'O" Sir William Harcourt used
to declaim his great orations in the
country from sheets of manuscript
written within and without, with all
the familiar accessories Of the penny
reading desk covered with green
baize, candlesticks, water-bottle, and
all complete. Mr.. Gladstone used to
make fairly full and extremely dis
tinct notes, but his splendid dexter
ity in the use of them made his
hearers forget their existence. Mr..
Bright used to say that the right way
was to prepare a certain number Of
Misunderstanding neat and point

those particularly anxious as to the
weather reports, to know what Hicks
prediction for this month is. For the
benefit of those who may desire to
know what to expect, as far as Mr..
Hicks weather is concerned, it is given
below:
"Tle first storm period in the month
will be central on the 4th. a crisis may
be expected a this period on or touch
ing the Srd. High degrees of humidity,
high temperature and very low barom-
eter may be looked for. and these will
be certain harbingers of severe storms.
If these conditions develop about the
Sd of the month and actual storms are
delayed even up to the 9th or 9th, do
not be thrown off your guard until the
indications combinate. Vicious thunder
storms, accompanied with hail. and tor
nado centers, are amongthe things rea-
sonably to be expected. at this period.
That there will be downpours or rain
amounting to cloudbursts in many To-
calities is more than probable. The
storms of this period will not be en-
tirely over until the barometer makes
a decided raise and the winds change
and blow strong and much cooler from
the west and north. Some very cool
nights are sure to result when the
storms are over. Remember that the
marked characteristics of this period
will be exceedingly high temperatures
during the first stages, and electrical
phenomena, followed by sudden
changes to phenomenaly cool.
"On and touching the 9th and 10th
look for a reaction to storm conditions
for change to warmer. failing bar
ometec and more storms of rains, thun-
der and heavy squalls of wind. June
thunder storms are probable almost
any afternoon or evening. During
these showers demonstrations will be
harmless and should cause no nervous
fear even in the most timid person.
OF course the lightning bolts that fol-
low every compact and rushing thunder
storms are different, and every precau-
ton against danger should be taken.
Under no circumstances should one
ever take refuge under u green tree in
one OF these June thunder storms.
The June storm period covering the
18th &c 10th will reach its eliminating
stages about Wednesday. Thursday and
Friday. the 18th. 18th and 10Th. At that
time one should have safe refuge
available, in case of manifest danger,
and all will be well.
"On and touching the 21st and cd
look out for the return of storm con-
ditions with renewed thunder and rain
squalls, and much harmless lightning
at night. Most sections will have suf-
ficient rains at this. and other June
periods. Tha central regions may
have too much, while the north ana
south sections may suffer some short
age. The weather will turn exceeding
ly warm about the 18th, and the bar
ometer will fall, and frequent storms
of much energy will prevail
