Olympic games were enthusiastically
received in athletic circles in this city

tins on the events eagerly sought.

bration in honor of the victories. this
being reserved until the members OF

LONGEST RELAY RACE.
Two Thousand Boys to Cover a Dis
lance OF 1000 Miles.

New York, July 15.-Carrying a
message of good will from Mayor Nc
Clellan to Mayor Busse of Chicago,
the start of the longest ss-country
relay race ever held was made this
morning from city. hall park.
Nearly two thousand youngsters
ranging in age from Is to 20 years,
make up the team which will con-
vey Gotham's message to her sister
city in the middle west. The boys
are members of the Young Mems
Christian association, and represent
nearly every branch of the association
between the two cities.
The message is encased in a silver
tube. which will be passed from one
boy to another at the end of each re-
lay. The youngster who receives the
message will run up Broadway half
a mile and deliver ii to another, who
will travel a similar distance with it.
At that point another eager, fleet
footed youth will be awaiting him. In
this way the race will continue day
and night until Chicago is reached.
The boys will be accompanied by
automobiles and each runner sepa-
rately timed. In the automobile also
will be a relief runner or substitute,
who will take up the run in case the
relay man meets with any kind of an
accident.
The scheme was first suggested by
the boys secretary of the Cleveland
central branch. A. A. Jameson, Sec
rotary of the Twenty-third street
branch in this city. will have charge
of the race in the east
The direct mail route to Chicago is
900 miles.
The route to be taken by the boys
is estimated at 1000 miles. There
the race. and it is expected that it
will be run on schedule time

RELATIONS ARE STRAINED.
There Is Trouble Brewing Between
Nicaragua and Guatemala.

Mexico City, July 15.-Important
correspondence between the republics
OF Nicaragua and Guatemala has been
made public showing that the most
strained relations exist between the
two countries. The correspondence in
question consists of two letters written
by the state department of Nicaragua
to the government of Guatemala.
The first, bearing the date of June
2, inquiries as to the truth of the re-
ported execution by order of President
Cabrera of DR.. Charles A. Valdez and
Senior Manuel Garcia Otoloa, two
Nicaraguan citizens. To this Presi-
dent Cabrera answered that the men
had not been shot.
On June 5, the Nicaraguan govern
ment answered Cabrera's reply, telling
him it was unsatisfactory and asking
if the men had been executed in any
other way than by shooting. In this
same letter, Nicaragua assures Presi-
dent Cabrera that she will not accept
Guatemala's invitation to send dele
gates to the Pan-American Medical
congress which meets In Guatemala
City this month until a written guar
antee is given them that they will be
given safe conduct out of the country
at the close of the session.
In defense of this attitude, Presi-
dent Zelaya's government points out
the treatment accorded Oquili Bustilo,
an ambassa dor from Honduras to
Guatemala, who was thrown into pris-
on and only released and given safe
conduct out of the country on the
joint representations of the United
States and Mexico. The medical con-
gress to which Nicaragua refuses to
send the delegates will be attended by
representatives from the United States.
Mexico. and most of the South Ameri-
can republics. Up to this time Presi-
dent Cabrera has made no answer to
this last note from Nicaragua.

TO COST $4,000. 900 MORE.
Milwaukee's Pacific Line Will Overrun
the Estimate

New York, July 15.-The cost of the
Pacific coast extension of the Chicago,
Milwaukee & ST. Paul railway, which
it is expected will be open for traffic
on July 1, 1909, will be about $1,000
900 more than the company originally
reckoned on, it was said yesterday by
an officer of the road. This additional
cost is due to the decision to run the
road at lower grade over the noun
tain division than was at first planned.
The total cost of the project is now put
at $77,000,000, but, as 800. 100000 Of
preferred and common stock has been
issued to provide balance for future
contingencies, there will be no short
age of funds, notwithstanding the in
creased cost.
The Pacific coast extension of the
st. Paul was begun about two years
tinues the road from the former west
ern terminus in North Dakota to Seat
tie and Tacoma on the Pacific coast.

Sir:-I am not surprised at having
received such a note, diabolical as its
conception seems to have been but
am surprised that gentleman of Ma

his approval upon your scheme. Social

YOU are confessedly an outlaw and

would have me infer that your fellow
clubmen entertain such affection for
you that they would make your quar-
rel theirs. Ard what have I done!
While entertaining you I regretfully
defeated you at your own chosen game

Christmas morning. And then came
school, college, and then married life.
When the scribbling 6t was on ham
Pearl used to draw her low wicker chair
close to his writing table, knitting, or
daintily lingering white material, soft
and downy and fluffy for the prospective
wearer, and the few remarks she made
seemed to chime in and identify them
selves with what he was writing; but.
of course, all this happened FIVE years
ago.
One odd little trick Pearl had, and
Noel remembered it this evening-and
missed it.
When his pen was working extra
busily she used to lay the tips Of her
fingers upon his right hand-just where
hand meets wrist. She did not incom-
mode him in the least. He declared her
touch inspired him; they were such pink
tipped fingers, and SO small, and he had
often written with the tiny touch on his
wrist almost unconsciously-only peep
ing up from time to time at sweet
oval face, into deep violet eyes love lit.
But, of course. this was FIVE years
ago.
So he wrote on, feeling little bit
sorry that Chum had not stayed, for at
ter all he only had another half hours
work before him, and then they could sit
and chat, and perhaps drown the sound
Of the bells that he knew would ring out
in few hours.
He was just in the frame of mind to
summon his landlady's children, but ex-
ccpt for himself, the house was empty
There was a Christmas Eve party going
on, and Mrs. Marsh and her progeny
were attending it.
He had been writing for half an hour
since Chum had left him, and felt the
old familiar touch on his wrist. 1t was
imagination of course, he did not even
turn his head, and then he was looking
into blue eyes, In the round golden-curled
