garb over an occasion that promised
TO be the biggest and the greatest
that ever happened in cycledom in
this city. With the outlook pro-
pitious. it is safe to say that more
than 1900 persons would have
jammed their way into the Velodrome
to pay their respects to the world
greatest man on a wheel AS it was.
only a scattering few turned out, but
what these few lacked i'm numbers
! they made up in noise. Kramer's ora
ton at the track was as pleasing as
his Grafton at the dinner in his honor
the night before. He was more at
home, however. on the bike track, and
he was all smiles as he rode around
the saucer, lowing and saluting to his
friends and his admirers. and to the
fans, who were simply paying him
his just dues.
G
Celebrities of the bike track were
there. Some have done ba- tie with
! Kramer for years, and sti-l have de-
signs on his title. Among these was
| Waiter Rutt. of Germany, who is the
| present holder of the big title and who
succeeded Kramer as the world
! champ on byf winning the title race
iast year, Kramer not com. et.ng.
4 Rutt sat at table bearing q placard
/ With the words Walter Rutt and

called upon Rutt Tor a sp ech, and
the stalwart German responded IN q
manner that seemed sLmewhat OF a
surprise TO many of those pres-"t.
They seemed to think that he YOU. d
have to deliver his re marks in Ter
man, but Rutt was equal t. tie occa-
sion, and spoke in good English The
champion stated that ne hid sen
kramer the guest of honor at siLilar
| occasions in Europe and that he was
admired equally as much in the coun-
tres of Europe in which he has COM
peted as he was here. He enUed mis-
Grafton by calling attention to tae
fact that, while Kramer Is an Amer
lean in every sense Of the word, lie is
of German parentage. and Germany
must come in for a part of the honor
in producing such wonderful ath-
etc. Rutt was enthLsias cal y re-
ce.ved, and his remarks caused much
amusement. Toastmaster McMands

When Mayor Eaussing spoke he
turned and directly faced Kramer
the POSTMASTER moving back his
chair to allow his honor a clear view
of the young man upon whom he was
going TO heap lust praise and finally
present a watch. which came as a
gift from his friends. The MAYOR

morally in the country.
From now on b. NJ. STANLEY, jr.,
Will be known as the King Bee Fan, ="
for that was the appellation applied
Ia him by the POSTMASTER. Mr.. Shan
ley, in addressing the diners, admitted
he was a good bike fan and he was
proud Of it. lie goes to the races and
every year race is named in his
honor and he is asked to fire the
starting gun. That is all he is sup
posed TO be, and after the winner
flashes over the tape "B. NJ" slips
something that looks like very valu-
able pin into the v;ctor's hand. Mr..
Stanley is qualified TO talk bikes and
to talk about Kramer. whom he knows
we'll and likes thoroughly. He said
many nice things about Kramer,
about his clean life and his honest
methods. He brought up the ques-
ton of clean riding and he declared
oXcitedly that if the boys didn't race
clean they should be made to race
clean, and he added that he would
not hesitate to take hand in bring
ing about such results If needs ne.
Mr. Stanley sat down amid applause.
C
Sheriff John F. Monahan had some
nice things to say about Champion
Kramer. and he said the county OF
Essex was proud of HIM. both as a
man and as a cyclist. Others called
were Frank Million. Inglis NJ
Uppercu. F. Ed. spooner and your
humble servant. The singing and
playing were interspersed throughout
the banquet, and the Elks' minstre
show competed the program. This
performance was quite an undertake
ing, and was very well done. 1t was
a rather unusual tribute. for Kramer
is not an Elk, but he has so many
friends among them that it was will
pleasure that the minstrel Toys con
sented to put on their show,
Kramer is to apply for admission il
the order, but East Orange, of course
will claim him.
G
The tribute to Kramer at the ban
auet han was repeated on mis- frs
appearance at the Ve,odrome trac
y, sterday afternoon, when he rode a
exh bition. doing a sixth of a mile i
1925 seconds. When Kramer cam
out of the brokers tunnel he wa
greeted with cheers and handclaps b.
every person present. When h

applause, and as he rode around tn
track to warm up for his sprint chez
followed cheer. After he had give
his exhibition and was smiling to tn
plaudits of the bleaeherites on tn

over there shouted SO he could b

the big fellow, II always had to ad-
mire him for his eameness and h s
honesty in all things. He is Won
derful fellow, and deserves all the
honor we are bestowing upon him.
While many of the present day
stars of the bike game came in for
treat attention during the evening.
there sat at a table far removed from
the speakers table, a man unknown
and unobserved who had some
twenty years ago been as prom nent
as all save, probably, Frank Kramer
on the tracks of Europe and America.
Harry Wheeler is his name, and ii ere
was a time when Wheeler enjoyed
popularity and success in Europe as
well as America. Harry is now fifty
one years of age, and has seen much
OF life. strenuous at tines, but the
training of those years on the cy le
path built a physical foundati so
strong that little do those ffty-one
years show, and he might easily Re
taken for a man Of kramer's a @.
During the evening Harry recalled a
BANQUET in Paris rendered to oil
Arthur Zimmerman and himself after
they had won every race in which
they had started in France one sea-
son.
The Prudential boys made "A big
showing at the banquet. There are
probably more admirers of the cham
pion in the "Pru' than in any other
/ commercial organization in the city,
and they did not overlook this OPP
/ portunity to show their regard for
Kramer. Three tables were reserved
for the "Pru" boys, and most of the
guests at Walter Rutt's table were
Prudential boys. Eddie Gilchrist, who
never saw but one bicycle race in his
/ fife, but is q great admirer of Kra-
mer was there with party of fifty
one, including Harry Wheeler, Ar

He put me up bottle of med icine. | was about a week taking the medicine, but was no better than when I began. I then began your sample bottle, and before I got through with it, felt change. The scalding sensation did not bother only few times in the middle of the day. I would not have believed such a small quantity would have done so much, but before it was gone I learned that our druggist kept Dr. Kilmers Swamp-Root and so got a large bottle for one-dollar but ac- tually worth one hundred dollars. only took one large tablespoonful three times a day and before I had taken one-half bottle I was all right and have been since.

terially extend the usefulness of the library by placing books with the diff ferent schools.
 For a number of years books have been furnished to the schools for the use of teachers and students in regu- lar school work During the past year the increased appropriation from the city has enabled the library to send books for general reading to twelve of the public schools. These books are distributed to the pupils by the principal, or by the teachers of the different rooms. In some schools the books are read in the school room after the regular lessons are prepared, the use of the books being an incen- tive to study. while in other schools the books are taken home by the children, and are read by others, ant thus have d wider circulation.
 East Street Branch.
 At the East Street school, where the largest number of books have been sent, arrangements were made for the use of the books to linlitei extent by citizens. There is probably more injury to the books and more liability to loss where the books are taken to the homes of the children to be read by other members of tho family, but the additional influence of the books may more than compen- sate for the additional wear. or risk of loss. The universal testimony of the teachers and superintendent is that the books have been useful. In some schools the books have been important aids in teaching reading. while in other schools and at the home they have a healthful influence in creating a taste for better class of reading than would have otherwise existed.
 Teachers May Help.
 The cordial cooperation of teach CTS has had an important influence ill increasing the usefulness of tho books. It is hoped that larger mum : Der of books may be placed in ths schools this year. The benefits to bn derived from placing books in the schools will depend largely on th'. spirit of the teachers and their readi- ness to cooperate in efforts to mako the books in the highest degree use- full In the reference room, the de. mand is not so much for books of high literary merit as for books of information, biography, history, trav- els and science. To meet the call for inforna tion on these subjects there must be books describing and illus- trating new inventions, and giving thu changes in the worlds history. A community employing skilled work. men will have d numoer of persons alert to watch every new invention and new application of scientific prin- ciples, who are desirous of seeing thu latest publications on these subjects The books may be too expensive to be owned by the ordinary workman. but if found on the shelves of the library may be useful to many read : CTS.
