 CYCLING
 Date: August 9 to August 22. Place: On the concrete motor track near the stadium, such track being saucer shaped and having had added thereto an additional concrete strip about seven feet wide at the bottom of the saucer such strip having but little slope and thereby permitting one to ride without speed.

 RECREATION
 ''The many places of refreshment in and around the city give opportun- ity for rest and recreation, and the ex- cursion to the battlefelds can be taken at almost any time. There is no doubt whatever that the visitor to Antwerp will have not only the opportunity of seeing the best sport of the world, but also most interesting and educa- tional time in visiting many other places near.
 Belgium is certainly on it's toes in the rehabilitation of it's industries and commerce and the reconstruction of it's country and while much is still left to be done, so far as the tourist is concerned he will find the trains running on regular scheduled time, the shops we'll stocked, the food of the best and prices approximately that of our own country certainly no more and probably somewhat less, by req son of the present rate of exchange. The hotel and housing problem is the most serious one, for it is a fact that the hotels in Antwerp are overcrowded and that those in Brussels and at other cities, while not so bad, must have reservations made therein in advance to be sure of proper accommodation. So far, however, as concerns the vis- itors to the Olympic games, it can be stated with positiveness that all will be properly housed by the Belgian Olympic committee, for the people of Antwerp will not permit visitors to their city, and especially American wis itors, to be imposed upon, or uncom- fortably lodged.
 'The housing committee has re- ceived offers from the best people of Atnewrp for the use in their homes of rooms which are large and comfort able, many with modern conveniences and all of the character wherein any visitor should be comfortable. All that i5 necessary for anyone about to visit Antwerp to do, is to send full and explicit information to the Amer ican Olympic Committee, Antwerp, Belgium, stating just what is wanted, the time of arrival, the period of oc- cupancy, the number and charter of the individuals or family to- be cared for and the maximum amount Willing to be paid for the accommodations. The representative of the American Olympic committee will then take up with the Belgian committee the mat ter of obtaining the accommodation de- sired and the applicant can rest as sured that on his, or her, arrival at Antwerp, proper accommidations will be found. If time suffices, the appli- cant will be notified by letter or tele- graph just where to go on arriving at Antwerp"

THIRTEEN new
HOUSES PLEDGED
Real Estate Exchange Now
Has Forty-Three Houses As
Sured-Hundred Is Goal.

Additional pledges for the imme-
date construction of thirteen houses
were secured by members of the
Chattanooga Real Estate exchange
Monday, according to j. Lee Allen,
president of the local realty dealers
association. This brings the total
number of houses pledged up to for
ty-three. Several of the houses are
already under construction.
After the chamber of commerce
housing committee had failed to ef-
feet the organization of a housing
. corporation, the real esta exchange
was asked to inaugurate some move
ment to put under immediate con-
struction 100 homes to help relieve
the serious shortage of homes in
Chattanooga. The real estate men
have conducted a campaign to en-
courage building, showing owners of
vacant property that this is the time
to build homes.
OF the number of houses pledged
Monday twelve are moderate priced
homes. All will be modern in every
way and of attractive architecture
One four apartment house was
pledged. The apartment will be
built in Highland Park at an approx
innate cost of $4,000. 1t will be of
brick. two stories in height. Work
was started during the day Tuesday.
The thirteen houses pledged will rep
resent an investment Of nearly
$780, 900.
The next regular meeting of the
real estate exchange will be held
Friday week. BY that time it is
hoped that the total Of 100 homes
will have been pledged, according to
President Allen.

MUCH EXCITED
Bands of Miners Search for
Detectives Who Started
Fatal Clash.
SEVERAL HUNDRED ARMED

scene today of much excitement
Bands of miners were searching the
county for operatives of a detective
agency who are alleged to have
started fight at Wallins Creek Sat
urday night with miners. which re-
suited in the killing of three persons
and wounding of several others The
clash was the outgrowth of i'll feeling
said to have existed in the Harlan
county coal field because of importa-
tion last week of a group of detectives
by the Kentucky Steam Coal COM
pany, where a strike is on. The dead
are: Bud Taylor, miner; Deputy
Sheriff John Burkes and James Hall,
detective. The names OF the several
wounded could not be ascertained.
An attempt by Detective Hall to ar
rest son of Bud Taylor at a Wallins
Creek mining camp precipitated the
battle, IL was said. When Hall tried
to take the boy into custody the elder
Taylor interfered. In a duel follow
ing Hall and the elder Taylor were
killed. Other miners and guards
rushed to the scene and a general
fight ensued, during which Deputy
Sheriff Burkes was killed. More than
a hundred shots were fired. The
fighting stopped when the deputies
retired. The guards later were sent
back to West Virginia by the mining
company.
