It un- loaded it's burden of humanity onto the passenger platforms and in stream they were rushed by the police and special officers of the station through the gates, up the corridors and out into the mouth of Commerce street. Hard ly more than five minutes later the tension of the spectators was falsely relieved by the arrival of the regular train of the Central of Georgia. These trains came from the direction of the east and desuitory cheers could be heard by the misled who thought each string
 of cars belonged to the palatial Sig

 At 12:07 o'clock there could be no mistake The other trains had been

 the greatest of all shouts at the sta

 terrific ovation of the people there was a faint roar in the distance fol-
 lowed by another and another. helping swell the murmur of the masses not
 so far away and telling to the whole city that the mighty guest had rolled into their midst. Eighteen more of these roars fell upon the ears of the throng and at the end twenty-one sa- flutes had been fired in honor of Pres ident Roosevelt's arrival.
 The salute was fired by a detach- ment of the Montgomery Field Artil-
 lery. Planted on the hillside back of Oakwood Cemetery. the cannon one after another sent forth their roars the
 moment that Sergeant Fred Thomas in command received a hurried tele- phone message from Capt. Sam Ros-
 wald, of the battery. Captain Roswald had stationed himself at an advanta- geous point in sight of the private
 train when it approached. It was quick almost as the cross-country heliograph. when the signal of one word was transmitted from the station to the cemetery. The guns talked in digni- fled cadence and despite the distance and the footing of whistles. all in uni son. the noise of the salute was heard
 above them all.

WISCONSIN URGED
O'0EA TO REMAIN
Crew Coach Asked by 0arsmea to
Renew His Contract With
Badgers.

3 & Burling. captain Of the Wisconsin
University crew has made the following
statement concerning the reported resig-
nation OF Coach O'Dea:
The many. almost daily. criticisms Of
. the press since the Poughkeepsfe re-
Satta, June g. bemoaniug the athletic
situation here in the University OF Wis
ccHsin and attacking the coach of the
crews in particular has been much Ia
mented by The athletes Of the uniyer-
sity
Many reports have gone out that Mr..
. Dea. the coach Of the crews, ought To
resign a once in spite OF the fact that
ne has three-vear contract with the
athletic association; whereas those who
are nearest Nj, O'Dea state frankly that
only the desire that he remain another
year, on the part Of the crew men and
those who know mos about rowing
Kept him from resigning his position i'm
mediateIy.
This ought to be said in fairness
both 10 the coach and crews however
that with his time free 20 epenl with
the crews in the fall, as he has not been
permitted heretofore. there Will he more
perhaps in comparing the situation al
Wisconsin with that prevailing at the
Eastern institutions.
Mr.. o'Dea, in not resigning, has been
acting in harmony with the men with
whom he has been working. and vet We
have heard him express himself as not
being averse 10 a modification of his
contract"
The announcement that water facili-
ties are TO be provided which Will make
il possible for the University of Min
Eesota to have Il college crew Of rae
ing oarsmen is received with great
satisfaction at Madison, for it is be
heved that such thing will solve the
problem Of a Western aquatic meeting
which has been tbs fond dream OF Uni
Yersity of Wisconsin people for these
many years.
If Minnesota enters aquatic sport it
Is believed here that it is assured that
the University Of Chicago Will quickly
fellow, and then three of the leading
Western universities Will be able TO
maintain an annual event which will uI-
tImately rival in interest the great
Eastern races on the Thames and the
Hudson. and. in fact. the great football
contests Of the West.

WHEELS ONCE MORE
IN POPULAR FAVOR
More Bicycles Than Ever
Before Since Craze.
GOOD RESULTS FROM II
A Combination of Usefulness and
Pleasure-Used Mostly in
Small Towns.
GOOD RESULTS FROM IT

The restoration Of the bicycle to popu-
lar favor can have only good results.
No other means Of conveyance ever
possessed such q large number of good
qualities and it seems only natural that
the factories should again be working
at night to meet the demand. says tha
New York Sun The manufacturers,
even with their present extra effort. ara
working merely to reach a sane and
reasonable demand. and 1t is not at all
probable that such a, mania for wheeling
as we saw ten years ago VIII be re-
peated.
1t is probable that few of these whsala
are being manufactured now for use IN
New York. There Is no place left in the
life Of the metropolis for ths enjoyment
of the bicycle. Since thousands roilsd
about the streets. local conditions have
changed. Preparations for the building
Of the subway helped to hasten the de-
cline of bicycle riding as a sport in this
city. Now that the streets are clear of
this obstruction, the volume of tra.Ifo
is greatly increased. The presence OF
the numerous automobiles is sufficient In
itself 10 make the recurrence Of the old
time numbers improbable Theirs is no
longer any room in the streets for SO
Not for New Workers.
1t is a misfortune for New Yorizaza
that they are not going TO share in ths
convenience and healthfuIness which
VIII be a consequence Of this revival of
the bicycle. II is TO the dwelIers IN
small cities that the benefit Of this
change win go. There one realizes the
extent to which the bicyelesfs An I'm
portant feature of life. As a means OF
relaxation the wheel is subordinate 70
its practical utility as a. method Of get
ting from place TO place n suburban
towns about New York, throughout
Long Island, and IN the summer towns
on the Massachusetts, coast, the bicy-
Gle is the vehicle by which most Of the
visitors as well as the natives are en-
abled 10 get about.
Such a combination of usefulness and
pleasure was never found in any other
vehicle to the degree that 1t exists in
the wheel. The revival of its use was
therefore inevitable. It is likely, more
over. to hold It's own IN the future with
no loss Of favor until some substitute
which has more merits Is invented. Un-
til this superior machine comes into ex-
istence, mankind viii continue to cling
10 the bicycle, and it viii never know a
lapse such as the reaction that followed
its sensational popularity several years
ago.

GETTING RIPE
Recent Match Between
Crack Players.
GREEK AGAINST CHlcAG0aN
Politics, of Philadelphia, and Stevens, of
Anson's Team, Met at
Palace.

After the recent team bowling match
of the Florists at the Rathskeller alleys
most of the Philadelphia squad of play
ers and rooters. together with a smaller
delegation. moved on to the Palace al
leys, where a match series of twenty
five games for 800 was arranged and
pulled off between Politics. the Greek
ten-pin crack of Philadelphia, and
Stevens. the Chicago star. who bowled
with Pop Ansons team in the big
tourney at Cleveland last winter.
Tt was splendid exhibition OF game
ness by both players, Stevens. after
seeming TO be hopelessly out Of It, win
ming out IN the twenty-fourth game Of
the series by a splendid squirt In his last
fifteen games. which he took straight.
Politics started OF strong, capturing
the first four games easily. excepting
the third which he landed by only one
pin Stevens then took the fifth and
sixth by good scores, but again fell into
the split habit, and, with only one error.
dropped the following four games, hav-
ing a run Of seven straight splits In the
ninth game.
Stevens was the cooler OF the two
players at all stages Of the contest,
never losing his nerve. despite his streak
Of tough going, and his gameness was
rewarded by a change, as the pins be-
gan breaking good for him, while the
Greek went off his stride.
The skin of Politics thumb peeled off
in the sixteenth game and bled freely,
but ne pluckiIy stuck it out. But this
injury to the Greek had little to do with
the final result. as the Chicago crack
had found the alleys, and moved
down the naples in his best form.
