MAJOR TAYLOR. PREACHER.

F. A. Mcfarland, the California member of the Tribune team, has ar rived in New York and ill an interview with the officials of the National Cy- cling association had something to say regarding his three years suspension by the Australian authorities, which he claims was unjust. Mcfarland says. that Major Taylor is coming to Ameri- ca. He was due to sail about a month ago, on the, same steamer with Orlando Stevens and Fred Scheps. The latter is one of the best riders of Australia, and expects to try conclusions with the American sprinters. Mcfarland says the fact that almost all races being handicaps counted largely for his success, this being his favorite style of riding. He won almost $10,000 dur ing the winter, including appearance. money. According to the Californian, Major Taylor is well liked in Australia. Taylor is very strict on religious mat, ters, and on one occasion he preached a sermon in a local church.

 GREAT SPRINT
It Lands Him a Winner at Vailsburg Major Taylor as a Preacher Other Racing News.

Frank l.. Kramer, America's sprint ing champion for the past three years, came into his own yesterday at the Vailsburg cycle track, for he won both events for which he was eligible Mar GUS l.. Hurley, amateur champion since Kramer relinquished his crown to do battle with the money chasers, won the opening race In his class, but did not cut any figure in either of the handicaps, even failMg to qualify in his heat of the regular handicap race. Oliver Dorlon won the race for riders who had not won $1OO at the track this year. More than G0OO persons witnessed the contests.
 The best race of the day was the two mile professional handicap, in which tWenty-fOur started. Lawson and Kra- mer were on scratch, and took turns at pacing until they caught the thirty yard men, Fem and Root. Lawson did not feel up to hard race, appar- ently, and he retired after riding one mile. Al Query, always a persistent chaser of dollar lap prizes, sprinted out and took several of these in succession. When the bell rang Query was still leading, followed by Jacobson, Caldwell, Schreiber, Menus Bedell, John Bedell, Root and Dorlon.
 In some way Kramer became pocket ed in the last lap and could not get out until the middle of the last turn. When the champion did get out with a clear field John Bedell, the leader, had at least ten lengths advantage over the other man. Root was three lengths be- hind John Bedell when the latter strengthened away for the tape, but the Bostonian slowly overhauled the Lyn- brook rider, and led him slightly twen- ty feet from the tape. Kramer in the meantime had been racing along at the top of the bank, and he passed the struggling pair just at the tape, win ming by four inches from John Bedell, who was six inches ahead of Root at the line. The time was 4 minutes 2 i3-5 seconds.
 kramer's other victory was in the unknown" distance race, in which the referee fired a pistol shot as the con cluding lap of the last mile was start ed. Kramer was in fourth position at the time, and he went to the front on the backstretch, and won without any trouble from John Bedell by a length and half.

AN IRISH WELCOME.
Athlete Kiely Given a Housing Re-
 ception Yesterday.

Over 4,000 persons assembled at Celtic park, Long Island City, yester- day, to accord a rousing welcome to Thomas F. Kiely of Tipperary, Ireland, holder of the all around championship of his native country, and also a winner of English championships. Kiely ar rived ill New York few days ago, pre- paratory to going to St Louis, where he intends to make bid for the all around championship honor of the A. A. U., month hence. He was 1n any thing but good condition when he stripped for his initial appearance on this side of the Atlantic in the track and field games of the Hickman Ath- letic club, which were held on the grounds of the Greater New York Irish Athletic association. The visitor scaled fully seven pounds less than his ,nor- nal weight and had scarcely recovered from the effects of his voyage, but he made very promising showing.
 His first attempt was in the 100 yard handicap race over high hurdles. in which he was conceding five yards to each of his two competitors, one Of whom, J. J. Mclaughlin of the New West Side A. O., beat him out at the tape by a few inches Kiely appeared to be suffering from charley horse,' 7 dS AS ClCdIGu lnG ODSGdClCo, OuC u1Q uOL knock any over. while his two adyer- saries ''toppled" several.
 Tn throwing the fifty-six pound weight for distance from stand, Kiely won easily with 8 feet 3A inches, without any apparent exertion. His third and last effort for the day was in the six teen pound hammer throwing contest. On the first throw he hurled the missile 1S6 feet 5 inches, but a few seconds later when he made another try, the wire handle snapped. When the ham dle was welded it was found to meas ure some six inches shorter than the regulation length, but even with this handicap Kiely sent 1t distance of 143 feet 6 inches, an exceedingly clever performance.
 There were Gaelic football and hurl- ing contests Tn the former in which the contending teams represented the counties of Tipperary and Kilkenny, one of the Kilkenny men, Peter Swee- ny of Greenpoint, was heavily shouI- der checked and had his left arm broken above the elbow. A surgeon who was among the spectators attend ed to the injured man immediately, and as soon as the splints were adjusted Sweeny went home in carriage after refusing treatment from an ambulance doctor who arrived in answer to a hurry call.

Chicago, June 6.-Jimmy Gardner of Lowell won from Buddy Ryan, a local lightweight at Battery D armory here last Friday night, the referee stopping the fight in the sixth round, when Ryan was all but out and help less. The bell saved Ryan in the third and again in the fifth. Gardner kept iabbing his man from the start, and when he had Ryan where he wanted him set sail for him, and while he did not land a knockout blow, he was clearly the better man of the two and won easily.

 LONDON, June 6.-"Perhaps it looks as if we could not take licking," said Major General Lord Cheylesmore, pres ideat of the National Rifle association, referring to the controversy over the rifles used by the Americans in the match for the Palpa trophy, which was won by the American team in July last. However" continued the former commander of the Grenadier guards, "that is not the case. There is no resentment on our part, and we continue to hold the American rife team in the highest respect. We were beaten, and we own it. We looked on them while here as good sportsmen and did our best to make them feel at home. All we say is that unfortunate ly mistake occurred on account of the American team using rifles they them selves admit are not similar to those issued to the American army. The Palma trophy contest calls for regula- ton army rifles"

ELMIRA, N Y, June 6.The cleo trical storm caused great damage to crops north and south of this city. There were severe hailstorms north of the city, but at Pine City, five miles south of here, the worst flood in years occurred. Dry run, ordinarily an in significant stream, devastated the whole countryside. Water mounted up to window stills of the farm and village houses, and families had to seek shell ter in the upper floors. The gravel washed down from the hillsides and covered the farms, while the water in it's onrush dug channels through the farms and washed away promising crops. The damage will mount up into the thousands.
