SUNDAYS RACES.
Big Crowd Witnesses Bicycle Races
IN Gardnerville. --0ne Accident.

The bicycle road races in Gardner
vile last Sunday afternoon were very
exciting. Two races wore run, four
wheelmen participating in each.
About 4 o'clock the competitors
lined up in front-of the bank ready for
the fray and large crowd of onlookers
gathered TO witness the first race of the
season. Those who rode in the first
race were Geo. Hussman, James Ezell,
Harvey Blackwell and Fritz Luhrs.
The distance to be covered was four
and half miles, making short turn
at the two and a quarter mile post.
Geo. Hussman won out, making the
ride in fourteen minutes. In the home
stretch Harvey Blackwell lost control
of his wheel and fell by the wayside.
Blackwell was second in lead and
Eel close third preparing for a
spirit. His wheel passed over Black
well, delaying him somewhat, but he
came in second winner, however,
making the time in fourteen minutes
and twenty seconds. Blackwell's knee
was badly bruised and cut and his
wheel put completely ont of business.
The second race was won by Francis
Ezell, the time made being four
teen minu5es and five. seconds. The
riders were Otto Hussman, Francis
Ezell, Henry Mack and VIII Nelson.
The boys made good showing, TAX
ing into consideration the condition
of the road and their amount of train
ing, some of the best riders having
wheels they were not accustomed to,
which makes considerable difference
in a race. They will run again Sun
day and more riders will be in the
field.
Gardnerville has number of excel
lent wheelmen and they have accepted
the challenge of the Carson team to
race in that city on the day of Presi-
dent Roosevelt's visit, May 10. With
little hard training the boys are
confident of being able to carry away
the laurels.

CHINESE MEDALS
Presented to Nurses of tina Hospital
Ship Maine.

New, York April 29.-The seven
nurses from the Mills training school
for male nurses who saw service in Chi

hospital ship Maine, have received their
Chinese medals from the British gov
eminent through Sir Percy Sanderson-
The medals for the South African ser
vice they received last year. The Chi

FIREMEN MADE $500.
They Are Now Discussing the Pro-
posed Gymnasium.

The total receipts of the fremen's
benefit entertainment last night were
$685. OF this one-half. or S34S, belongs
to the fire department and out of i
must be paid the orchestra. This Will
leave some thing over $500 in the fund
to be used for equipping the fire depart
ment with gymnastic apparatus.
Chief WImarth VIII within a lew days
call together the officers of the fire de-
partment for a conference in regard tc
the expenditure of the fund.
The chief question to be decided Is
whether the whole fund shall be used
for equipping one large gymnasium for
the whole city at fire department head
quarters. or whether the fund shall be
divided. and each of the four stations
given a share
1t was Chief Wllmarth's original plan
to have large room provided in the
city building to be used for a gymna~
SUM for the department of the entire
city such an arrangement was pro-
vided for in the plans for the depart
ment Headquarters submitted by CHIEF
Wilmarth but this project was rejected
by the city council They thought that
the room in the building was needed
more for city offices. The result is that
there are three OF four vacant rooms.
which are rot needed for city Offices
and no gymnasium for the fire depart
me.st-
Lacking accommodations for the en-.
tire fire department, it is probable that
each station win be given its own
equipment. and allowed to work out it,
own salvation

Chief Wilmarth said today in speak
/ ing of the entertainment and its re-
suits:
First I want to thank thu. people on
I behalf of the fire department, for their
/ splendid patronage. We hope that none
/ were disappointed. OF course we pre-
i scented the show without knowing any
4 thing about it except that it was high
/ ly recommended by prominent fire
chiefs. There may not have been as
many fire pictures as we expected bur
/ that is not our fault. We ordered The
company to send everything OF that
/ sort it had in stock. ] believe that the
department was really more interested
4 in seeing to it that the people of To-
peka got their moneys worth than they
were in the financial success of the en-
/ tsrtainment.
We are going ahead with our plans
/ for the gymnasium as quickly as pos
sible. The committee which backed
/ this entertainment win meet in a day or
two and probably another committee
viii be appointed to determine what we
viii do with the money We can't tell
yet what viii be done"
