 This is the race the Englishmen could not bear to see go to the Amer jeans as they had figured on it from the start. A diagram of the race from the start to the finish is also shown, the runners being clearly marked. The place where the alleged foul is sup posed to have taken place is brought out. An incident of this race is related, when the clerk of the course approach ed Porter and told him that Barnsley was all black and blue from the elbow ing he received. This stirred up the large throng present. all, of whom ut tered dire threats against the Ameri- can team A few days after the dis qualification Of Carpenter, BarnsleY told Porter. himself. that he had re- quested the English press to contradict the statements that his sides were black and blue. but for some reason they preferred to. remain mum.
 The start of the great Marathon is also shown, with Dorando easily dis tinguished by his dark running trous- CTS. Along the course D ctures are shown of Dorando. who is in the lead. The great picture of the finish, where Dorando is being helped across the line by the clerk of the course and a phy- sician, bears up the cause for the dis qualification of the noted Italian. In regard to this disqualification at the judges court, the men on the course said that they never helped Dorando. but when about fifteen pictures. taken from different angles, proved other wise. the race was awarded to Johnny Hayes. Hayes picture is shown, en- tering the arena and after crossing the line.

MAIN STREET WILL BE
 PAVED WITH WOOD AND
 GOLDEN HILL WITH BRICK
MAIN STREET JOB CALLS FOR 16,5OO SQUARE
 FEET, HALF OF WHICH IS CITY's.
Siliman Godfrey Co., Get Contract for Blocks, Cement and Crushed Stone-B. D. Pierce, Jr, Go. Awarded Right to Supply Sand.

will allow the work to be done between Gilbert and High streets and that the rest of the work can be completed as far as North Washington avenue If the property owners south of High street pay their assessments promptly into the permanent pavement fund.
 The entire job in Main street where wood block is to he laid, calls for pave ment to cover 16,E00 square feet. and the city's portion of the work is 8,S36 square feet The rest is for the street railway company to cover. In Col den Hill street the total number of square feet to be laid is 2,O15, and the citys portion is 1,115 square feet.
 . The successful bid for brick was not the lowest bid. but the city seems welded to Mack brick, as it seems to be the pavement which has given the most satisfaction. Shawmut brick could be laid 1e cents a square yard cheaper, and the Townsend brick five cents a square yard cheaper.
 The cheapest bid for wood block pavement was that of the Wyckoff Pipe and Wood Preserving Co.,, which offered to furnish blocks at 165 per Chairman Hartley wanted the block of the U. s. Wood Preserving Co. laid at $1.85 per square yard. This is the kind of block that is laid on the lower bridge and in Bank street.
 Although the cost of the U. S. Wood Preserving block was cents per yard more than the American Creosote wood block, Alderman Griffin moved that the last named block be purchas- ed because it was handled by Silliman & Godfrey. a local concern Aldermen Tague and Bertilson voted with him and the contract was awarded to Silli- man & Godfrey. This means that the cost of the entire job in Main street, ton avenue, will be S441.S0 znore than if the U. S. block was purchased.

VICTOR MOORE IS
 ACTOR OF GENIUS
As "Kid" Burns He Takes House by Storm in 'The Talk of New York;

Victor Moore made hit in '"The Talk of New York;" the Conan & liar ris production, which was given at Smiths. last night, to a large audi ence. In 'Kid Burns Moore has a character that his adapted to his peculiar and lively genius. He has made creation that will live long in the minds of theatre goers who chance to witness one of his performances. MT. Moore does what few men on the stage do, or can do. He sings as well as he acts; perhaps better. The audi ence found it impossible to tell wheth- CT they liked him best in rollick.ng melodies like When a Fellows on the Level With a Girl That's on the Square, Under Any Old Flag at All" and Gee, Amt I Glad I'm Home,'' or as the thespian artist in the wide range that was afforded him for dramatic expression, during four acts in which. as the plunger. he saved the honof of his friend. wealthy society man. by saving his son from an adventures. while at the same time he convinces the family that he is good enough to marry the daughter of the house.
 The impression made by MT. Moore was very great. He was called before the curtain after the third act and made a clever. little speech. which brought whirlwinds of applause and laughter.
 Moore is destined tc fill a high place in the department of dramatic art to which he has devoted himself. Needless to say he is supported by strong company. It is the same cast that appeared in the product on during it's long run in New York. Chicago and Boston ''The Talk of New York; will be given again this afternoon and evening. It is a treat that should not be overlooked.
 MT. Moore, it may be said in passing, is an Elk. He was hospitab'y well comed at the new ElkS- home, last night, where many brothers were pleased to greet so distinguished menh her. of the order

Drummond and Frank Ryan. Drum mond said he was in the employ of the Jennings Bros, one of whom is Mrs. Strickland's son-in-law, and that he always carried a key to the barn. The police found his story to be true and allowed the prisoners their freedom.
