Great Riding Here.

In the two-mile lap handicap prOfes-
siOnaf some great bicycle riding was seen
with the surprise at the finish coming
from Norman Hopper, the G. A. r. handi-
cap winner. So hot had been the pace
that on the last lap but Hopper, Lawson
Nesbit and Palmer were left of the field.
Palmer was in the lead, but rode himself
out, and Lawson went out with his or
dinariiy victorious winning jump. An
other blacK-shirted rider jumped, how
ever. and Hopper went by the former
champion and won by a length. Nesbit was
close on Lawson, while Palmer rode into
fourth position. Pye Lawson won the
half-mile open with Downing holding his
wheel for second. Hehir and Walker made
the finish a blanket one.
Mccormack was decidedly the amateur
star of the evening. To the champion
ship race he added a victory in the mile
handicap. nOsing out Wright in a great
finish The time OF 1:52 1-5 shattered the
record bur. as Mccormack had twenty
five yards handicap it did not count, al
though Wright from scratch covered the
distance in record time.

Crowd Is Excited.

A great stir of excitement was noticed
in the crowd and many women screamed.
Just as quickly, however it was changed
into relieved handclapping as Schnell was
seen to rise to his feet. At least there
were no bones broken. Wilcox continued
his steady clip and won by over lap
from Duer, who regained his pace after
the fall but in no way threatened VIII
cox. Duer despite his records, has not
yet mastered the smaller track. and has
also been handicapped by inferior pacing
machines.
As for the other races-they were races.
Burglar" Mccormack won the twO-mile
western championship and won it by
great ride establishing a new record for
the distance at 3:5ls the former mark OF
3.52 being held by Phil Wright,
Wright cOllided with Mcneil with three
laps to go and was retired with a broken
tire. On the bell lap BrOdbeck turned
Mccormack loose and Burglar held the
lead to the tape in pretty fighting sprint
with Mcneil.

WISH BONE is FLOWER.

The wishbone flower is the popular
name Of the dainty annual known to-
botanists as torenia fourniori, which
is growing to be general fayorite
with discriminating gardeners. It ts
especially we'll adapted for beds, hang
ing baskets or borders.
The seed is very small, so should be
carefully handled by the amateur. Sow
the seed in pans or boxes in April,
preparing it thoroughly before plant
ing. Let the moisture dry out some
what on the surface, then SOW the
seed thinly on top, covering slightly
with very fine soil or sand.
When the young plants are large
enough to handle, transplant them
into shallow boxes containing soil
cons sting of rotted sod leaf mold and
sand. From the boxes they are trans
ferred into small pots and planted
out about six inches apart the latter
part of May
The plants are dainty little things
and flower all summer The flowers
are blue and white, the latter being a
distinct variety. They should be
given sunny place in the bed or
border where they will not be crowded
by taller plants.

A CLASSIFICATION OF uNvALlDs.
Those Complain Most Loudly Whose
Ailments Are Trivial

From Literary Digestive ex-
IRENE classes of invalids are de-
scribed in a note In the Lancet,
namely, those who, though stricken
with some serious, or even fatal NAL
ady, say nothing about it, and those
who complain long and loudly about
trivial ailments. Says the writer:
''The really sick patients who do
not seek medical advice or complain
may be divided into four classes.
Firstly, there is the patient who
suspects some very serious or fatal
disos'der-for instance, woman who
suspects she has a cancer. We may
suspect, but she practically Knows
and yet she breads to be told the
fact, with the result that she hest
tates to submit herself to a medical
verdict until she is past the reach
of effective aid Secondly, there is
that class composed of people who
take a somewhat fatalistic view OF
life or death and who tell them
selves that it is no use worrying
and that they will just go on as
long as they can. Thirdly, there is
the class composed of persons suf-
fering from some very chronic COM
plant, such as, for instance, the
business man suffering from granu-
lar kidney. He is conscious Of feel
ing vaguely unwell, but having so
much TO attend TO and never both
ering so much about himself as he
expresses it. he goes on with his
daily occupation until one day a
cerebral hemorrhage or an acute
pleural effusion strikes him unex-
pectedly down, or perhaps one morn
ing he wakes 10 find himself par
TALLY blind. And lastly there are
those brave souls, who, knowing they
are doomed within few years at
the most, take up their burden Tor
the sake of those near and dear TO
them, O. for very love Of labor, and
work with undiminished courage to
