BICYCLISTS ON
SIX-DAY GRIND

BY United Press Leased Special Wire.
NEW YORK. Dec. 6.-New Yorks
annual spectacle" the siXday hippo
drome labeled by its promoters "blcy-
Gle race" started off this year in a
manner that is sure to draw a big
crowd to the garden during the re-
mainder OF the week. George Wiley Of
Syracuse. one of the favorites with the
crowd, teamed with Drobach, the big
Russian was caught in a spill before
the race was an hour old and his
shoulder dislocated, throwing him out
OF the contest.
The sixteen teams in the race are
already well behind the record, lack
ing one lap of four miles at eight
o'clock this morning. There were but
two sprints in the first six hours and
they were of brief duration.

has fine set of scarlet clover on it
the seed being sown at the last har-

ment. Captain Lank in addition to the
manure, used a small quantity Of phos-

national championships are about to

10 come to this country early in the

possibility now. Walker may stilI come
TO this country. but II ne don't head
this way pretty soon he will have to
DO his running indoors.
Cartmeu a Surprise.
Nate CartmeH's magnificent running
IN England is a source Of much
qualification and surprise to his friends
here. Cartmell wasn't flying over the
cinders when he departed from this
country, but he has improved wonder
fully since HIS arrival In the Old World
Soon after his arrival he sported the
emblem Of the Birchheld Harriers. and
now We learn that he intends TO reside
permanently abroad. Things are break
ing well for Nate on the Other side. and
the opinion here is that Nate would be
lin bad" with the A. 4. L. if he re-
turned, but that is neither here nor
there.
CartnSeH has trlumphed over Reggie
Walker. Tie Is the first American that
has, and he is one OF the very few
that have beaten Walker in scratch
races. The little South African sprinter
is one OF the fastest men in the world
away from The mark and .hey do saw
that he continually gets the better Il

any one TO defeat him. as he seldom

sy is at its best with quiet dignity and
scrnpulous self respect, which latter
includes all the essence of courtesy
Courtesy in its purest form is moth
ing more nor less than due regard
for others.
The greatest instances of discourte-
sy is perhaps met with by the travel
ing public about small railroad offices
where young men get their first Jobs.
These young chaps with their hair
parted in the middle feel great i'm

OF them never get over it and conse-

THE HOG LAW.

| Now that the city council is TALKING
hog law, we believe it would be 8
good time to enact the ordinance. and
the time for its taking effect could be
fixed at any convenient time in the
future.
What we want to see is this law en-.
acted and ready to enforce. In this
way we will have the law and every
one will know it, and will 90 ahead
and dispose of their hogs, and there
will be less complaint than if we wait
until the last moment and enact the
law and put it into effect all at once
People are not likely to dispose of
their hogs until the hog law is enact
ed: they will wait to see what is going
to be done. Hogs are at a good price
now and there is a ready sale for them.
Another serious problem is the
great number of dead hogs the town
has to bury. These city hog raisers
have way OF disowning dead hogs in
order to force the city to pay the ex-
pense of having them buried. Now,
this is real nice-real nice. When
people want to use the town for II hog
pasture and then have the Guy mar
shal and the city clean up the dead
ones, it is time to call halt.
SO far as We know, there is but one
member of the city council who is ex-
pected to be against the hog law,
which we regard as "a natural conse-
quence We expect to publish the
vote of the city council on this ques-
ton, that the people may know just
how it stands. OF course the people |
want the hog law.
