CYCLISTS TRY OUT
NEW SAUCER TRACK
LARGE CROWD ATTENDS EX'
CITING EVENTS
Arrangements for Grand Opening July
Are Progressing Satisfactorily.
Many Outside Riders
Coming

About 1000 excited spectators wit
messed the motorcycle and bicycle
races yesterday afternoon at the try
out of the new saucer track at Seal
Gardens, the crowds beginning to ar
rive at Z o'clock in the morning and re-
naming until the final race of the day.
The tryout was sufficiently attractive
TO the professional and amateur riders
of Los Angeles to bring out thirtyfive
racers and the events were of a de-
cidedly exciting nature.
Many of the riders were a bit shy
about trying the saucer track at first,
confining their efforts to riding the
runway, but finally all of them be-
came sufficiently courageous to take
whirls around the saucer, climbing at
all angles and presenting a novel and
interesting spectacle.
Among the prominent riders partici-
pating were r. ]. Duer, Raymond Sey-
mour, c. F. Tilden and Erwin Knapp.
The fastest mile caught by the timers
during the day was made in eight laps
in one minute and eighteen seconds.
Derkum was not present and the other
riders are anxious to hear from him.
They also are figuring what he will do
when he hits the curves and steep an
giles and tries out the bump-the- bumps.
Arrangements for the meet to be
held on the track July are progress
sing nicely and many out of town
riders will participate, a large delega-
ton being expected from Salt Lake
City. Special transportation service
has been promised all day by the Pa
cific Electric.

DISCOVERS ANCIENT
PLACE OF WORSHIP
is PROBABLY JUPITER STATOR
OF RoMULUS
Was Built, According to Legend, by
Founder of City, in Fulfillment
of Vow Following Defeat
of Sabines

ROME, June 7.-Another discovery
at the Roman forum made by Com
mendatore Boni, director of eXcava-
tions there, has been announced. For
some months past excavations have
been carried on close to the arch of
Titus, on the side toward the coliseum.
Large blocks of tufa bearing a series
of masons' marks and placed diagonally
to the present road, and considerably
beneath the actual level, evidently be-
longed to a very ancient and an i'm
portant structure. There is great prob
ability for concluding that this massive
construction formed the foundation of
Jupiter stator, first built by Romulus
in fulfllment Of vow, and afterward
rebuilt during the Samnite war, and
where Cicero pronounced his first ora
tion against Cataline. Livy tells of the
origin of this temple.
When the Sabines had come in great
force against the Romans and these
were giving way before the enemy. and
even beginning to fly, Romulus prayed
"the father OF gods and men to keep
back the enemy at least from hence,
dispel the terror of the Romans and
stop their shameful flight. Here l SOL
emnly vow," he said, ito build tenn
pie to thee as Jupiter stator, as mon
ument to posterity, that this city was
saved by thy immediate aid" And so
the temple arose at this spot.
Among the interesting things brought
TO light was a we'll of the republican
period, close to the walls of the temple,
which has been waterless for many CEN
turtles, but nevertheless reveals some of
the story of the past. From the bot
tom of it there have been brought up
fragments of pottery which were In use
in the second and third centuries before
the Christian era. Among the other
terra Gotta fragments found in 1t is a
beautiful antefix and head of female
figure, bronze COMA "quadrauS'-
lamps and leaden weights, and Etrus-
can -Campanian pottery and varnished
in black.
Wells that have been discovered in
the Roman forum have revealed to
Boni, the discoverer, many suggestions
of the people who lived, and the trades
they carried on, near the brink of these
reservoirs of water. Bo--i has said of
them that the accumulations of well
may represent few or many years, ac-
cording as it was frequently cleared
out, or was abandoned long before fill
ing 1t up. Each is like a sealed packet
1000 years old, with a value dependent
on our power of appreciating It. In
one case he concluded that butcher s
stall stood near from the number of
butchers knives picked up from the
bottom of the well. The trees that
grew hard by he considered were lau-
rels and willows from the seeds of
these trees found among the debris.
The finding in one of a little marble
head of early Greek workmanship
proved to him the introduction into
Rome of pre-Phidian Statuary.

HER PHOTO FOUND IN
BATTLE is RESTORED

PATTERSON, N. j., June IA da-
guerreotype of a young man and girl
taken from the body of a Union soldier
on the battlefield of Charlottesville
during the Civil war has been returned
to the girl in the picturN. Mrs. 7. w.
Stowe of Milford, Conn, after search
lasting thirty-three years.

been taken from a dead Union soldier
at Charlottesville.
On the back of the case were found
the names John Rawson' and Nellie
Augusta Nettleton." The case also con-
tanned a needle, piece of thread and a
lock of hair.
Mr.. Whritenour communicated with
every Grand Army of the Republic
post in the country, but was unsuc-
cessful until Nellie Augusta Nettle-
ton." now Mrs. T. w. Stowe. was To-
Gated in -.lilford. Conn. Mrs. Stowe
wrote to Mr.. Whritenour. She says:
John Rawson was reported missing
after the battle of Charlottesville. My
husband is glad that 1 am to get the
I ,cture back. wish I could make good
to you all the expense you have gone
to to find the owner. l am thankful
that this little bit of my life's history
has been handed down to me over the

Amateur Excitement

Strangman of the Percivals almost
made worlds record yesterday in the
game between his team and the Ra-
cycles at Agricultural park when he
batted out four hits. including two
doubles and a triple in as many times
at bat.
Wilson. catcher for the Belvidere
team aided his team to victory against
the Strongholds by slamming the ball
for free trot all the way round the
cushions.
Harry Bouett of the Lukes' team
scored a lucky home run yesterday in
the game with the Meeks by taking
advantage of an error by the first base
man of the Meeks.

VENONA IS FIRST IN
BERMUDA YACHT RACE
Smallest Boat in Fleet Finishes Sew
eral Hours Ahead of All Rivals,
Making Remarkably
Fast Time

HAMILTON, Bermuda, June with
her starboard rail under water and
driving under three lower sails in a
20-knot breeze, the Venona, owned by
George f. Bliss of Boston and carry
ing the flag of the Eastern Yacht club,
crossed the finish line at 3:14 o'clock
this afternoon, winning in class 8, in
the race from Marblehead Mass, to
Hamilton, the start of which was made
shortly after IL o'clock last Wednes-
day morning.
When the Venona crossed no other
yacht was in sight. The elapsed time
was 80 hours 80 minutes 15 seconds, and
the corrected time 9S:l2:15.
The Venona is the smallest boat in
the fleet. Capt. Bliss and his crew
account for the fine run by their keep
ing well to the eastward on Thursday
and Friday, so that they picked up the
southeast gale last night and ran fast
and with Stacked sheets. The little
yachts best run was 1873 miles, from
noon on Saturday to noon Sunday.
Soon after the Venona finished an
other yacht appeared on the horizon.
1t proved to be the Marchioness. She
was fully twenty miles behind the win
ner. At dark she still had five miles
to go.

MINORCA HEN UP

Duty-No Race Suicide

NEW YORK, June ITO forget
the human misery that stalks in his
court, to divert himself from punish
ing criminals, Recorder George w.
Cadmus of Bloomfield, n. j., raises
chickens on his Renson street place.
Hitherto the recorders hennery has
been as free from guilt as a founding
asylum. But now his sense of justice
tells him that he should punish his
Minorca hen for kidnapping, or chick
neutrality-suspicious., for stealing another
hens fiedglings.
ANY chicken raiser will tell you that
Minorca hens are great on laying, but
not much on setting. Their maternal
instinct is aroused only when they see
the actual chicks; they do not seem
to know whether one of their own eggs
Is a promise or a threat. They should
be called "Missouris," not Minorcas.
They are the only hens that are
thankful for incubators.
Well one of the recorders Plymouth
Rock hens, after setting with Mrs
Job-like patience for twenty-one days,
Straightway the Minorca hen, which
had been painfully lacking in duty TO
her own eggs, proceeded to cajole the
Plymouth Rocks chicks from her.
The human kidnaper buys candy for
her intended victim; the Minorca
scratched up the most tempting
worms, caught the most succulent
bugs. then called the little Plymouth
Rocks to eat them. Two chicks quick
ly yielded to the Minorca's seductions;
then the Plymouth Rock hen fought
the Minorca and got thrashed, of
course. Now the whole brood of Ply
mouth Rocks ignore their mother and
follow the Minorca, which struts
around proudly as If to say:
"There'n be no race suicide in this
hennery as long as I'm here
