Eddie Cannon Bald, former butcher boy, 'champion professional bicycle rider for the past three years, and coming actor, who hails from Buffalo, won his way into the hearts of the four thousand people who attended the second day’s racing of the national meet of the L. A. W. at Newby Oval, yesterday, when he crossed the tape first in the half-mile championship of America. The ‘‘Bison” has not been riding fast of late and his return to form was well received by the people, who have always looked upon him as the real representative of this country.* Another who struck the popular fancy was Frank Costello, who captured the great American handicap, turning professional for the occasion. The plumber boy of St. Louis was given a liberal mark and by making the most of it, managed to land the big race, and of course the I&00 purse which was the winner’s reward. Bald twice lowered the existing handicap record in this race, out failed to get a share of the money. There were five starters in the final of the half-mile professional championship, and Eaton was put in as pacemaker, carrying the men the first lap. Gardiner claimed to have been fouled by McFarland, which resulted in his losing hold on the string and he was out of the running. When the bell rang announcing the last lap Cooper went to the front in preparation for his effort. and the one which might be considered a criterion of his speed for the match with Bald to-night. Bald took to his rear wheel and the drug clerk, now stockholder, from Detroit carried him down to the last turn at a good gait. When the banking was reached the “Bison” went around on the outside, and started his sprint, which was like One of those of old, when he was virtually unbeatable. The crowd was on its feet in a minute, and cries of “Bald, Bald, Bald” showed who was favorite in the contest. His famous w ibble came into play as he neared the tape, and the crossing of that, line showed him a full length in advanti of McFarland, who beat Freeman for the place by almost the same distance. Cooper was fourth. Bald's win was a popular one, and his style shows that the Bald of 1895 and 1896 might not be lost forever, as It looked in the early part of the season. Bald now leads in the championship race, with 129 points, Cooper second, with 85 points, and Gardiner thiru. with 73. Bald was the only scratch man in the final of the big handicap, in which there were fourteen starters. He went out from the gun, and with Freeman, Eaton and Cooper soon had the middle markers. Then came a loaf with no one to chase Hall. Maya and Costello, who were working together in front, with excellent chances of winning. Just before the bell the hack bunch started for the others, but although wearied, the lone three struggled gamely on, with visions of SSOO purses before tnem. Costello had just turned professional for the race, and the thought of winning a big prize in his first contest among the moneychasers urged him on. When the turn was reached “Sheridan’s find” came from behind Maya, and. amid wild enthusiasm, reached the goal a length in advance of .Maya, who led Hall, all out, by the same distance. Martin was fourth, beating out the others in a hot finish, with Bald fifth in record time of 4:09. n was a great race and showed the folly of low mark men waiting for one another to set pace. Costello qualified for the five-mile amateur championship in the morning, but was excused from starting in order that he might turn professional and ride in the big race. And a Mound City representative has at last won a race. THE RACES IN DETAIL. Kramer and Schofield, two Easterners, won their heats in the semi-finals of the quarter-mile amateur championship, which opened the game in the afternoon. Kimble, the champion of the day before, was shut out of the first semi-final of the half-mile championship, having made his effort a bit too late. The finish was of the proverbial blanket order. McFarland winning by inches from Tom Cooper, with Taylor third. Becker fell after crossing the tape. Maya was the pacemaker. The second trial saw Walsh making the running, with Freeman on his wheel. At the bell the men scattered, and Freeman started his sprint down the back stretch. Coming around the turn Bald went out and had no trouble in taking the lead, Gardiner following him, and finishing a bit in advance of Freeman. As the heat was the fastest, however, the latter started in the final, the colored lad being shut out. The sprint began at the crack of the gun in tne final of the quarter-mile championship fur the amateurs. Little Kramer took the lead, but was not strong enough to hold it, and on the last turn the x brown-legged lad from New England, known as Collett, who took both the big events the day before, went to the front and showed he was yards faster than any other man in the race. His side partner, Ilausman, who, to date, has been considered the better of the two, was second, with Llewellyn third. Collett has the quarter, half and two-mile chumpionships to his credit and his riding will bear watching in the future, as he seems to have both speed and staying powers. Bald. McFarland. Gardiner, Cooper and Freeman was the order of the starters from the pole in the final of the half-mile national championship. Jay Eaton was put in to pace the first lap. There was the usual scramble for the pacemaker, and when the line straightened out it was found that Cooper had secured the pace, with Bald, McFarland and Freeman following For some unknown reason Gardiner had los the string and was out of the race, although he stuck to his task of trying to catch them. At the bell, Cooper went out, with Bald . n his wheel, and coming into the turn the Bison went to the front and proved he was the best man in the field, winning by almost a length from McFarland, with Freeman third and Cooper fourth. Gardiner claimed that McFarland fouled him. which was the reason for his losing the hunch, but Chairman MotJ could do nothing in the matter. There were twelve starters in the final of the mile amateur handicap with Rogers, of Philadelphia, on scratch. He got off his mark In good style, but after catching the

men ahead of him, ran off the track on the second lap, and was out of the contest. The men gradually closed and in a finish which might have pnazed ordinary judges, showed the good handicapping of Messrs. Hunter, McCarthy and Aldrich. Brown was the winner, with Donnell second. GREAT AMERICAN HANDICAP. There was much interest in the Great American SI,OOO handicap at two miles. Three heats were run, in which S2OO was divided among the placed men. Bald was the scratch man in the first heat, with Freeman twenty yards away and Eaton the same distance in front of the Westerner. The last three named bunched after the first lap, but neither one seemed anxious to set any pace, and, consequently, were, seemingly, out of the race at five laps. The front bunch slowed down and yet none of the back markers seemed willing to go out. They were thus caught as the bell rang, and It teemed out of question to think of their winning or even qualifying. Instead of being dead, however, the three men seemed very much alive and went around the field like scafed rabbits. In a driving finish Bald won a great race by inches from Freeman, with Eaton third. The time, 4:15 2-5, lowers the record of 4:18 4-5, held by Gardiner, and Bald secured the special prize offered for bettering the figures. Next to the Quill $2,000 handicap of last year, in the East, it was the greatest handicap event to date, and showed good handicapping and that Bald can overcome handicaps as well as win championship and open events. Arthur Gardiner, the popular Chicago lad, was on the mark of honor in the next heat, with Cooper twenty yards away. The lastramed two. with McFarland, Martin, Kimble and Becker were soon in the rear bunch, which caught the long markers at five laps. The fourteen men presented a pretty sight as they came around the turn before the bell, Phillips falling Just as it rang. WILD CRASH AT THE TAPE. “Plugger Bill” Martin started his effort on the back stretch and was leading coming for the tape, with McFarland and the others giving fight in a fearful bunch, which portended a fall. Twenty yards from the tape Martin ran off the track, but, landing on his side, slid ten yards to the finish line in time to be placed third. There was a wild crash among the other wheels and five riders went down as the tape was crossed. Gardiner was picked as the winner, with Cooper second, the former being among those who fell. ' ” “Major” Taylor was the scratch man in the third heat, Johnson having a start of twenty yards and the others strung out to 275 yards. The colored lad “beat the gun” and went past Johnson in a hurry, causing the latter to make a hard unpaced ride in order to catch the men in advance of him. Hall, Maya and Costello, out in front, kept changing pace and soon had a comfortable lead, opening up more than half a lap, owing to the loafing Os the scratehmen. Taylor made a great quarter-mile sprint to catch the limit riders, but was unsuccessful. Maya ran in first with Costello, the former amateur of St. Louis second, and the lewmarkers nowhere. Five teams started in the mile amateur championship for tandems. There was nothing of a startling nature until the bell rang, when Peabody and Llewellyn began to warm the gait on the double-seaters. Collett and Hausman, however, were not to be outdone, and going down the back stretch they went to the front and opened up a length on the turn, which, try as they could, the Chicago team was unable to make up, and Collett added another championship to his three, assisted by Hausman Cihrenee McLean and Lee Richardson were well received in their exhibition of trick riding, at which they have few if any equals. THE FIVE-MIL& CHAMPIONSHIP. There were eight starters in the final of the five-mile national championship, and after some' lively shifting for the pacemaker’s wheel Porter ensconced himself there, with Peabody next in line, followed by Kramer and Ertz. A single pacemaker was used for each mile, and after the second mile Kolb secured the position, hut a bad pick-up resulted in Ertz getting the preferred place in the string, which he had to give way to Peabody when the next pacer came along. At the finish there was a wild strugglo down the back stretch, with Ertz looking like a winner on the turn. Collett ran off the track there, turning a complete somersault, and so scaring his teammate, Hausman, that the latter quit. Peabedy passed Ertz in the straight, winning by more than a length. Porter was disqualified for the meet by Chairman Mott for fouling Collett. Bald started from the mark of honor in the final of the great American handicap, with Cooper, Freeman, Eaton, McFarland and Martin strung out ahead. Gardiner was too badly injured by his fall to start in the final, although Martin, who seemed to have had the worst tumble, came on the track to start and was received with cheers. T-lall, Costello and IMaya tried the same scheme as in the heat, gradually drawing away from the short-markers, and, although the bunch went out for them, it was too late, the ringing of the bell showing them forty yards in the lead. Coming into the stretch Costello went out from behind Maya and won bv three lengths, with Maya second and Louis Hall third. The sprint among the back markers was terrific, but “Plugger Pill” Martin, with his cuts and bruises, was the best, winning from Bald, whose time from scratch was 4:09. beating his world's record of the afternoon. Paced by a triplet and a quad, little Harry Gibson, of Cincinnati, made a try for the mile amateur record, held by Gardiner, of Philadelphia. He crossed the tape close behind the quad, which carried the first half in good style. The triplet made a bad pickup. causing him to jump more than ten yards, but he finished strong in 1:45 3-5, falling to batter the figures of 1:43 3-5. THE SUMMARY.

The first opportunity ever presented to Indianapolis to see one of the middle-dis-tance races which have been so popular in the East will be presented at the Newby Oval to-night, when John S. Johnson, the famous record-breaker, and “Plugger Bill” Martin, who swept all before him in Australia, will contest in a fifteen-mile match race, paced by thirty pacemakers. Everywhere in the East where these contests have been held they have aroused wild enthusiasm and always resulted in big crowds. The match to-night has been put on by the track people in order to show what a real paced race is like. An effort was made to secure the pacing teams of the National Track Association and put on an event between McDuffie and Linton and some others cf the track team, but as the affairs of that team have been in a somewhat complicated condition it was impossible for it to take a Western trip, and the next best thing has been done in the match between Johnson and Martin, which, although not as big an event as some of the contests in the East, will at least 6how what the big talk of game is like. The great event of to-night will be the

mile match race, in heats, between Eddie Bald and Tom Cooper. For two years theae men have been trying to get together, and the race promoters all over the count.-y have been offering inducements for matches. Both men have deposited their side bets of $250, and as the track company offers SSOO extra for the contest there will be $1,(00 at stake, which will go entirely to the winner. In addition to the above there will be a five-mile paced amateur race. Fr.*d St. Onge. trick performer, will give one of his exhibitions, and as it is his first appearance in the West there is considerable interest in regard to the manner in which he will be received. The entries for the two-miie amateur handicap, to be run to-night, Include all the fast men now at the track. The first four in each heat will qualify for the final heat. The handicaps are as follows; First Heat—Earl Peabody, scratch: P. J. Bornwasser, 20 yards; E. C. Hausman, 29 yards; Charles Porter, 40 yards; H. B. Cave, 50 yards; H. A. Gibson, 75 yards; C. J.

Donnell, —. - A NIGHT IN BOHEMIA. Five Thousand People Were at the German House. “A night in Bohemia” was the attraction arranged for the L. A. W. visitors at the German House, corner of Michigan and New Jersey street's, last night. It was not a spectacular event, as the title of the entertainment would imply, but it was a delightfully informal reception in which five thousand people took part during the evening The reception was arranged by a committee from the L. A. W. Club of this city, of which H. F. Hackedorn was chairman and master of ceremonies. The German House was resplendent in decorations and brilliant illuminations. The entire building was lighted and thrown open to the visitors. In addition to the strangers in the city brought here by the L. A. W. meet an invitation was extended to the home people, and they responded in goodly numbers. While there Were hundreds of fancy toilets in the throng, the affair could not be termed a “dressy” occasion. Bicycle costumes were frequent among both men and women. Mayor Taggart, in evening suit, was present and smiled a welcome to all. Capt. W. E. English in his army uniform strolled through the garden enjoying the music. There were many other prominent city people present. The garden, prettily decorated with flags and palms, was thrown open at 8 o’clock and was thronged until the dancing began. The When band gave a concert in the garden, ami in the music hall on the second floor of the building Knauer’s orchestra gave a promenade concert. In audition to this a programme of vocal music was given, in which Louis J. Dochez and Mrs. Lottie Adam Raschig took part. Among other selections Mrs. Raschig gave an aria, “More Regal in His Low Estate,” from the “Queen of Sheba,” and Mr. Dochez sang a baritone solo, “Quaff with me the Purple Wine.” Among the promenade selections given by the orchestra was “The Belle of New York ’ and a medley overture entitled "A Cluster of Peaches.” From 8 until 10:30 o’clock the garden was the chief place of interest. Everywhere refreshments were free, and waiters were kept busy serving the guests. The garden concert consisted of fifteen selections, beginning with the march “Chicago Tribune” and closing with the march “Put the Wheelmen off at Buffalo,” specially arranged for the occasion. One of the numbers on the programme for the band eoncert was a piccolo solo by Mr. H. D. Kaiser. The garden contained a happy, lively crowd that came to have a good time and had it. The hand in the garden alternated with the orchestra in the music hall, so that all could enjoy both concerts. The pnembers of the reception were in evening dress and moved about among the crowd seeing that every one had a good time. In the dining room tables were spread and light refreshments were served there. The visitors from out of town were most generous in their praise of the arrangements for their entertainment. At 10:30 o’clock the dancing began in the music hall and the floor was thronged when the orchestra began the first waltz. The dancing continued until very late. At the conclusion of the festivities all were of the opinion that “a night in Bohemia” had been most happily spent. The members of the L. A. W. reception committee were as follows; J. C. Pfieger, Fred K. Shepard. Conrad Mueller, H. E. Martens. W. F. Browder, W. P. Herod, E. M. Johnson, J. M. Leathers, Merrill Moores, H. U. Brown. Willard Robinson. H. A. Goth, W. C. Nichols. Ben L.

Fully twelve thousand people thronged to Garfield Park last night to witness the destruction of Cervera’s fleet on a small scale. Bicycles, carriages and street cars in large numbers served to convey the crowd, and still many found it necessary to walk, and many that rode to the park on the cars were compelled to walk back to town or wait until past midnight for street car accommodation. Cars run until half past 9 o’clock at Intervals of three minutes, and each was loaded to the guards. Accidents along the way, however, caused some delay. At the turn off Illinois street at South a trailer broke a wheel - and It was necessary to ditch the car and crowd its load on to the motor. At the turn where the cars leave Madison avenue another delay was caused later in the evening, and a second time a trailer was run to one side of the road. At the park elaborate preparations had been made. The lake was lined on all sides with colored lanterns as was also every main road through the park. And- confronting the person entering, a large enmblem of the L. A. W. was set with incandescent lights, the wheel and wings of yellow and the letters of the purple of the organization. As the Immense crowd gathered, colored lights were burned, lighting the lake from one end to the other and showing the expectant faces of the crowd as they lined the banks on all sides. Gradually the people assembled and crowded around the water until the chances for the newcomer's seeing the spectacle were hopeless. Then the little knolls that are found in numbers through the park were covered, and still the people came. There was the best of order, however, and beyond a small amount of pushing and crowding there was no inconvenience. Asa preliminary, several small pieces of fireworks were touched off. a large flag creating the greatest excitement and applause. It burned for several minutes, and from the time, the crowd realized what it represented the noise was deafening. The crowd was in an imaginative frame of mind, and appreciated every turn of the great spectacle of the evening. The people had read the papers, and were given an opportunity of airing their knowledge of the details of the great sea fight before Santiago. As the mimic battle proceeded explanations were heard on every hand. Each had his own opinion, but none deigned to contradict his neighbor. The preparations were complete for the battle. Intrenchments in the form of empty boxes were thrown up on one side of the lake, and here were located several companies of the Boys’ Brigade in full uniform. Some clifficul’y was experienced in getting Spaniards to fill the intrenchmerts. and to overcome this the companies were detailed for the distasteful duty. They wore the regulation blue, but this was not noticed by tne excited neople. Four small launches were stripped for the occasion, and red lanterns on the shore warned people to keep away from their fittings. These, with a few row boats as reinforcements, were lined up in battle formation, and the fun began. Worthless tubs had been labeled Spanish war ships, and at proper intervals these were beached and fired. Amid flying Roman candle b;<l!s and the glare of red lights the crowd cheered as each Spanish •"ship” was successively destroyed. The remUns now lay charred

upon the beach at Garfield Park as a reminder of the celebration of last night, and, more remotely, of the real victory of the American navy. But after the fleet had been entirely destroyed a quantity of Roman candles remained in the hands of the persons who served on the launches. Part were passed to parties in rowboats, who. to obtain a better view, had gone on the water, and for a few minutes colored balls of fire were flying from all parts of the lake and in all directions. It was a pretty sight and was fully appreciated. But the most magnificent part of the performance came as an afterthought, and as a result of a surplus of material for the mimic battle. After the larger part of the crowd had left the grounds and was either walking to town or crowding its way to the cars, a barrel of gasoline was found. The lake was cleared of boats and the contents Os the barrel poured on the water and a match applied. In a fraction of a second long tongues of fire sprang apparently from the quiet water of the lake and leaped fully twenty feet in the air. The oil rapidly spread to every part of the lake, and the flames followed in short order. The electric lights In the park were dimmed and groups of people far back in the park were easily distinguished. The great blaze came as a surprise, and many were frightened, thinking some sort of accident had occurred, and fearing for the people who had been seen on the water but a moment before. And while a large portion of the crowd were entertained at the lake, great numbers strolled back into the park in the vicinity of the band stand, where good music was furnished. The small bridge leading over a neck of the lake was jammed with people, and many found it necessary to walk almost entirely around the park to get within hearing distance of the musicians. A RUN FOR SLEEPY EYES. Tired Chups Went to Noblesville—The Mlllersvllle Trip. The run to Noblesville brought out twenty very tired men to the L. A. W. clubhouse at 7 o’clock yesterday morning. Most of them had been to the all-night smoker at the Park Theater and shotved the effects of it in their manner and motion. The party set out under the direction of J. G. Grosch. of this city, with Dr. C. I. Fletcher as the attending physician. The latter denied being at the smoker and said his tired look was due to some exacting professional calls made during the previous night. All the men set off at a lazy pace over the new cycle path, stopping at Camp Mount and other places as the 1 notion struck them. At the fair grounds several of the men thought a scorch would warm them up and started a miniature race meet on the track, for the benefit of the soldiers, who were preparing to move to Florida. At Schofield’s Mill the party stopped for luncheon and rest. Continuing, it completed the run to Noblesville without another stop. Arriving there the riders were received by a delegation of citizens headed by Judge Kane, who, in a speech, extended to the wheelmen the freedom of the place. After riding over the streets of Noblesville for a time, the men took dinner at the Houston Hotel, and started on their return to the city over the Allisonville road, entering the city over the towpath. By this time the party was wide awake and the pace to the town was a fast one throughout. Ira Holmes, who thought ho would he a winner on a 180-gear machine, found his high speeder had its drawbacks as well as advantages. As long as he was going on the level, his riding was the envy of the party, but when it came to climbing hill* Holmes had his troubles. He had to walk over most of them, and says he will take a smaller geared wheel when he goes road-riding again. The ride of the ladies of the L. A. W. yesterday was to Millersville, and the start was made from the headquarters at the Propylaeum. There were fifty-five in the party. They went out the beautiful new wheel path and declared the honors between that and the cycle path out the canal were divided as to beauty. The riders kept well together and attracted attention all along the road. When they arrived at the Budd cottage a bountiful luncheon of fried chicken and the accompanying good things was served in the shade of the porch and the trees. Both rides have been without accident and no particular incident. The last of the rides will be given this morning, when the shortest of the rides, that to the Country Club, will be given. Preparations have been made at the Country Club to entertain one hundred women to breakfast at 12 o'clock. “MAJOR” TAYLOR IN SOCIETY. A Dance in tlc Criminal Court Room —Diamond Presented. ’’Major” Taylor has been the lion of the colored society people of the city. Last night a reception in his honor was given at the Criminal Court room. He was presented with a diamond stud and had many attentions bestowed upon him. The reception was arranged by the ladies of the "One Hundred" Club, of which Misses Vandyke, Miller, Thompson, Coleman and Durson are prominently identified, assisted by Messrs. Hitehins,, Parker, Tilford and Alexander. Mrs. Dr. Beulah Porter, on behalf of the ladies, made an impressive little presentation speech, assuring Mr. Taylor that his friends in Indianapolis are proud of his past victories and that they hope for his future success. Mr. Taylor, disclaiming any oratorical abilities, gracefully accepted the token. During the evening there was dancing and light refreshments were served. The reception was a social success, and Mr. Taylor expressed his gratification at the cordial attentions shown him. ■ ♦ WHAT BUFFALO PROMISES. Will Even Spend More Money than IndinnnpollN. The Buffalo delegation remarked last evening that Indianapolis has spent more money entertaining than has been put up by any city since the inception of national meets of the League of American Wheelmen. Buffalo, however, promises to lay out even more money for a like purpose in ’99. The Buffalo case at the Denison is going full blast and it is estimated that the delegation will spend $2,000 in entertaining during the week. Regarding the remark attributed to Abbott Bassett, national secretary, at the press banquet on Tuesday evening, in his speech in favor of Boston for the national meet in ’99. that "Buffalo is conspicuous by her absence," William H. Baker, president of the Associated Cycling Clubs of Buffalo. N. Y., said: “I regret that Buffalo was not represented at the banquet and the failure is due to the fact that we have remembered the teaching of our mothers, not to intrude. The fact is we were not invited. Had we been the city would certainly have been represented. I understand that we were not requested to be represented through an oversight and am willing to believe that. The remark called to my attention as having been made by Mr. Bassett is of no particular consequence, and I am unwilling to believe was prompted by anything more than unusual interest in his home city. Mr. Bassett is the national secretary of an organization that includes the city of Buffalo as well as the city of Boston. And while Mr. Bassett is a very estimable gentleman, of whom, in Buffalo, we have a very good opinion. I question the propriety of his speech in favor of any particular city, and of the remark credited to him. But Mr. Bassett is too amiable a gentleman to auarrel with and w r e freely forgive him and promise him a royal time in Buffalo in ’99.” SOME CHOICE PRIZE FIGHTS. All-Night Smoker Wound I'p nt 5 o’C’loek. The uproarious smoker at the Park Theater did not conclude until 5 o’clock yesterday morning, the big crowd remaining till that time in order to witness one of the fiercest pugilistic carnivals ever given in Indianapolis. To say the audience, ninetenths of which were Indianapolis people, was satisfied is stating it mildly. After the w'restling match between Sam Murbarger and Snyder, of St. Paul, which w’as taken by the former in the second and third bouts, a go in the prize ring was had between Ed Bennett and Michael Kelly. In the fourth round Bennett floored Kelly, and as the man was rising in a demoralized condition. too dazed to defend himself. Bennett hit him a powerful blow that rendered him unconscious. Kelly remained on the floor a few minutes in this condition while the officials talked about something else, but after a while they grabbed the unconscious man by the legs and arms and dragged him aw'ay somewhere. The second bout between John Wessler and Louis Schupp, both of this city, resulted in a decision for the former after four rounds. Monk Dillon and David Miller, said to be brothers, gave a four-round exhibition, and after that James Beal, colored, pounded Bob Pangle. white, so hard that in the fifth round Pangle got the “yellow fever" and quit. The real entertainment of the night was the scrap between Jack Davis, of Memphis, and Tommy Hubbard, of Anderson. Five years ago Davis was one of the crack lightweights of the country, but he waa out of

Probable Size of the Attendance fr. m Outside. The registration of visitors to the .>ig meet has about reached an end. Yesterday Tomlinson Hall was practically deserted, so far as strangers were concerned. The attendance has been disappointing to the promoters of the meet and doubly so to the citizens of Indianapolis. While the blame for it is not charged by anyone to the managers, the feeling among all those interested in the enterprise is one of keen disappointment over the poor attendance. The general opinion among visitors from the East and South is that the poor attendance can be laid directly to insufficient advertising and high railroad rates. Several members of the Cycling Club, of Philadelphia, in conversation yesterday explained the matter from their standpoint by claiming that the railroads refused to advertise the meet in the Eastern papers and charged exorbitant rates to passengers. As a consequence most of the people there knew little of the meet except what was told them by the dyed-in-the-wool wheelmen who would attend even if the roads charged double rates to haul them. Members of the different state boards, from tl ne to time, visited the railroad managers to try to seeufe a rate of 1 cent a mile for the round trip to Indianapolis. On every occasion their efforts were without avail. The railroad people refused to make the late on the ground that as the different States had no adequate anti-scalping law. by which the roads could be protected in if-su-ing cut-rate tickets, they could not afford to handle the business and assume the risks of having their concessions abused. The Philadelphians claim that had the railroads granted the rate of 1 cent a mile there would have been a big delegation from several cities in the vicinity of Philadelphia, where now there is hardly a corporal’s guard. New York, Boston and Baltimore all failed to send their crowds on account of the high rates asked. All the Eastern men feel badly over the poor showing made at the present meet and say it will do irreparable damage to the league in the West, w'here it is now desired to gain a foothold. It will also, in their estimation, tend to detract from the importance of the League of American Wheelmen in the eyes of the business men who have been asked to subscribe to the expenses of the meet. The impression gained from this mpet will he one of disappointment and will, unless the < Ircumstanoes are thoroughly understood, give any iuture attempt to bring the national meet to this section a big setback. All the visitors are praising the work of the local cyclists and citizens for the liberal way they have been entertained, and think the public should he advised as to who is to blame for the failure of the meet. In the East, where a meet can be held which will draw on a district containing upwards of five millions of people, all living within a radius of two hundred miles of New York city, the present rates exacted by the railroads would cut a much smaller figure in the attendance than they do here. Almost any town could furnish a delegation of generous proportions when the rates for transportation are one fare for the round trip. But when the jump is one of a thousad miles or over it becomes another question and Indianapolis is now suffering from this handicap. Had the meet, conducted on the present liberal scale, been held in New York or any other of the Atlantic coast cities, there would not have been rpom enough in town to hold the crowds which would come there, all because the railroad fare would be an insignificant matter. From the best information obtainable it was learned at Tomlinson Hall yesterday that up to last evening there had been in round numbers 1,200 visitors in the city to attend the meet. Charles Cullom. of the Houston, Tex., Press, who arrived yesterday morning, said there had l>een a party of fifty wheelmen organized in his city some time ago to attend the meet, but that it had been broken up when the railroads refused to make a respectable rate for carrying them here. The flrcnd Ripple Carnival. The aquatic carnival to he held this afternoon at Broad Ripple is expected to be one of the events of the L. A. W. season. Among the features to be presented will be swimming and other water sports, sevenmiie steamer rides on White river, refreshments and an entertainment at the Ridiculous Clubhouse. The park Is reached by the Broad Ripple electric cars direct. Shaving ”15 Cent*.” An "Irony" of the meet is contained in a little folder issued by the Meet Club. It contains considerable useful Information, but among the list of rates and prices is—- " Shaving 15 cents.” The list is signed by Conrad Mueller, chairman of the committee to prevent extortion.

Mlcliuel Defeat* Titus. BALTIMORE, Aug. 11.-After three poetponements, necessitated by the elements, Jimmie Michael, the little Welsh champion, and Fred Titus, of New York, met to-night at the Coliseum In their fifteen-mile paced bike race. Michael won easily by abouit seven hundred yards. It was the general Impression from the start that Michael would win, but early In the contest the sympathy of the four thousand spectators went almost unanimously to the New Yorii boy. While the latter was paced badly, he rode hard and made several strong bias for the race. On several occasions his pacmakers lost him entirely and Titus was compelled to take hold behind his opponent’s workers. On the other hand. ML chael’s men w r ere as smooth and even as clock work. Michael had the advantage also In having a triplet among his pacers, while Titus depended entirely on tandems. Time, 28;48 1-5.
