MUCH INTEREST IN EVENTS OF TODAY BUT IT IS NOT CONCED- , ED THAT ANY OF UNCLE SAM'S MEN WILL WIN.

London, Eng., July 14. Flanagan, of the Irish-American Athletic club, of New York, won the final in the hammer throw at 170 feet, 4.12 Inches, beating his own last je2rs world's record. Sheppard, of the same club won the fifteen hundred meter race. London, July 14. The conditions yesterday wero distinctly bad for the opening of the fourth International Olympiad, as the traclc was heavy and soft from the hard rain which fell in the morning. It has rained some every day for a week, and as no sun came out to dry the track, the Americans here think the sua never shines in London. Despite the adverse conditions, several splendid races resulted from the preliminary heats of the 1,500 meters run, which gave England five men for the final, with America two and Canada one. The first two heats were won by Americans in good time. J. P. Sullivan of the Irish-American Athletic club of New York beat Jimmy Lightbody of the University of Chicago in a stirring finish. The latter threw his knee out of place Saturday and was under hot water treatment the whole of Sunday to enable him to take part in the event. Melvin Sheppard, also of the IrishAmerican Athletic club, defeated J. P. Halstead of the New York Athletic club in the 6econd heat in a fine close finish, but probably spoiled his chance for today, as the race exhausted the winner. It was an unfortunate draw for America, but good judgment should have suggested the selection of only one representative in the second heat.whicn would have made the heat easy and left our defenders both in good condition for the final tomorrow. The Oxford miler, Hallows, ran impressively in the best time made and finished strong and fresh. "Spider" Coe of the University of Michigan made a splendid fight in the fourth heat in which the pace was too slow for him, and he was nosed out by the Englishman, Loney, in a fast finish. Trainer Murphy held a tryout Saturday afternoon to select men for the three mile team race to be run today. H. W. Cohn of the Irish-American Athletic club won, with G. A. Dull if the University of Michigan second and H. L. Trube of the New York Athletic clug third. The time was 14:5."). There is only a fair chance of our winning the team race again, and the hammer throw is our only sure win Tor today. It would shock the English athletic 'world like a failure of the Bank of Enggland would cause a panic in the financial world if America should win either of the runs today. PREPARE FOR RACE Handicap Bicycle Event Will Be Held Here August 22nd. iS MILE RUN TO BE MADE. The Richmond bicycle dealers are preparing for the fourth annual handicap race that is to be run here Saturday, August 22. The race will be for Ihe amateur championship of Indiana and Ohio. The dealers are busy securing riders from other cities and they give promise that the race this year will be one of the fastest ever held here. The race will start at Sixteenth and Main streets, south to E street and thence east to the Henley road and then west on the National road and down Main street for the finish. This is a three mile course and will be five laps making a total of about sixteen miles. The finish will be on Main street This course will give a most excellent test of the wind and endurance of the riders who will take part in the race. Some of the local riders who expect to take part in the race are Si Brown, Robert Graham, Walter Moore, Selby Williams, Harley Cox, John Shellenberg and probably others. Seal In the Mint. Passing through the mint, attention was directed to a large pair of scales which were said to be as fine as anything In the country. They recalled the grand balance seal used In the Bank of England, and en Inquiry the mint scales proved to be a worthy specimen of the same class. The Old Lady of Threadneedle Street uses a piece of mechanism that stands about seven feet high and weighs in the neighborhood of two tons. This scale is set every day, Just as the one at the mint Is, and is so delicately adjusted that it will correctly weigh a grain of dust or 400 pounds of gold. ; A postage stamp would affect the index six inches.. If any weight beyond its capacity is placed on the machine It makes its protest by ringing an electric bell and keeping it up until its load is lightened. Philadelphia Record.

St. Paul at Kansas City. Central League. Ft. Wayne at Grand Rapida Dayton at South Bend. Evansville at Zanesville. Terre Haute at Wheeling A Place of Safety. Wits which are serviceable only la fair weather are not of much use to the pioneer of a new country. All sorts f vicissitudes present themselves to the dweller of the wild regions. Mr. Willey in bis "History of the White Mountains" gives an Instance of a man whose ingenuity withstood a cyclone. The incident took place in the early days of Jackson. A terrible tornado passed over the little settlement. It 'was so strong hardly anything could stand before it Houses and barns were leveled, trees were, whirled about In the air like sticks, and men and women were caught up and carried along for rods. One house was rased to the ground, and chairs, tables, beds, bedding and children went flying about in the wind. The father of the family, snatching his babies from the rude grasp of the monster, thrust the little folks' heads through two rails of a fence and left them thus secured, with their legs dangling in the wind. He then went to look after bis other property. The five little children remained safe in their fastening and, uninjured, outrode the tempest. Thought He Wat In India. As a consequence of the frequency with which venomous snakes are met with in India Anglo-Indians spend their whole lives in thinking of their lives and watching out for snakes. When Mr. Kipling reached London from India n his search for fame and fortune he lodged in some small rooms on Villiers street. Strand, up two Sights of stairs. One morning a friend called, and when he found himself in Rudyard Kipling's sitting room he was surprised to see a handsome mirror which stood over the fireplace "smashed to smithereens." "Snakes," said Kipling, noticing the look of astonishment on his friend's face. "I was dozing In my chair yesterday evening, and my foot slipped out of my shoe, which for comfort I had unlaced. Half waking, I felt with my foot for the shoe and began slipping it in when my toes touched the leather tongue. Snake flashed across my sleepy brain. I gave one desperate kick, and when the shoe struck that mirror I realized that I was in London and not in India." Closing His Mouth. A very sensible bit of advice expressed in homely language was given by a man not long ago to an excitable and quarrelsome friend. It was in a brickyard, and two of the workmen had engaged in an angry dispute which culminated in a fierce encounter. In the skirmish one of the combatants was nastily hurt on the bead, and the employer, who happened to come on the scene of action when the fight was finishing and was a man of more temper than discretion, advised the injured one to get a warrant for the other's arrest While the matter was being discussed by a number of workmen who had gathered round a big, burly fellow who had heard everything and seen the whole affair made his way to the man with the damaged cranium and said: "You don't want to get no warrant BilL You Just go to the chemist's shop and get yerself two pieces of planter good big ones and put one piece on yer head an the other on yer mouth, an' you'll be all. right' London Mail.

MYSTEBYJOREAMS Whence Come the Warning Visitors We See In Sleep? TWO VERY PUZZLING CASES. One Where Mother and Son Both Got Tidings of Disaster at the Same Time and One Where a Child Saw Her Father Saved In a Shipwreck. Out of 149 dreams of a very striking kind investigated by one of the leading psychic research societies no fewer than seventy-nine related to a death, and perhaps the rarest of all these dreams is the case where two persons dreamed the same thing on the same night and the episode came true. This striking instance is reported by the Rev. R. B. Elrlngton: "A woman parishioner of mine," he says, "whose husband was a fisherman, at that time on the sea, dreamed one night in terribly vivid fashion that his little craft bad been cut in two by the towering steel bows of a great liner. Her eldest son was with the husband, and as she woke she screamed out, 'Oh, save my boy, my boyl This was remarkable enough, considering the sequel, but almost at the very moment the poor woman was in her distress, yet still asleep, another son was pounding at her door, half asleep and half awake, and crying, 'Oh. mother, where is father?' The terrified woman ncmr rose and let the boy in. He was crying. He told her he had distinctly heard his father's heavy tread coming up the stairs and hi3 ponderous kick with sea boots against the door, as had been his manner when returning abruptly from a long cruise. Next morning the alarmed mother and wife told all the neighbors, and before the day was out the dreadful news came that every detail of her dream was true. The little trawling lugger had been run into by a coasting liner, nearly cut in two and sunk with all hands, including her husband and son." Premonitory dreams occupy a large part of the psychological records, and the following case is a very puzzling one: A Mrs. Spruit lived at Balmain. one of the suburbs of Sydney, Australia. Her husband was a sea captain In command of the Atacama, a wooden ship of 1.300 tons, which had arrived In Sydney In a leaking state and was picked up cheap by a firm known as Cowllshaw Bros, for $3,500. Twice as much was sent in repairs, and then the Atacama was sent up the coast with a cargo of coal. She delivered this and next set out for San Diego. But when 500 miles out from Sydney she sprang a leak, and Captain Spruit decided to put back. In spite of the pumps the water gained, and soon there was a depth of eleven feet in the hold. Spruit now resolved to abandon the ship and launch the three boats. The captain himself, with one seaman, the steward, boatswain and an apprentice, was in the twenty-four foot lifeboat while the rest of the crew, twelve in all. were In the other two boats. Heavy seas were running, and the boats were nearly swamped. As Spruit could not swim, he was nearly drowned. Some of his men were lost Their situation was Indeed fearful in boats half filled with water and exposed to a fierce gale 400 miles from land. Again and again was Spruit washed out but at last his boat was picked up when Its occupants were in the last stages of exhaustion from fatigue, exposure and lack of food. A reporter of the4srdney Morning Herald called to interview the captain and $u&4 hu barefooted, with terribly

swoii'u irs, covered witn severe curs and bruises. Now consider Mrs. Spruit's report to the Psychical Research society, which is most remarkable. "Last Thursday week," she writes, "at 3 o'clock in the morning my thirteen-year-old daughter Lily came into my bedroom and woke me by a tap on my forehead. 'Oh, mamma,' she cried in a breathless whisper, 'I'm so frlghtenedf I tried to soothe her. but she only covered her face with her bands and whispered tremblingly: 'Oh, look I My papa's ship is all wrecked! Papa's come home all in rags, with his feet and legs cut, and I see two or three of his men drowned out of the boat' "I told Lily sternly it was all nonsense. " 'It Isn't T she said passionately. 'I've seen it in my dream, and I know It's all truel "But I coaxed her off to bed. The girl kept worrying about it until the next Sunday. A week after her dream my husband returned, and Lily found me crying when she came in from school. " 'Oh, mamma,' she cried sharply, "is the Atacama wrecked?' "I told her evasively her papa had come home. "She was not to be denied, however, and asked, with strange persistence, 'Are papa's legs cut? "I said they were. "And the very first thing she said to her father was: 'Why, you didn't have those clothes on when I saw you! The ones you had on were all torn in the shipwreck.' " Lily Spruit herself furnished a report to the Psychical Research society. She said she woke in terrible fright having seen every microscopic detail of the shipwreck and its sequel. She saw her father get into the big boat and keep close to his ship for some time. She watched his boat capsize and the boy Allen drown. What woke her, she said, was the howling of the wind about the wreck, and the last she saw was the other men pulling her father back into the waterlogged boat William T. Fitz-Gerald in New York Tribune.

A Bishop In Anger. It is popularly supposed that bisnops possess the power of self control in a perfect degree, but sometimes the best of them disclose the fact that after all. they are but men. On one occasion a certain lord bishop, eloquent and saintly, whose name Is almost a household word in England, was preaching at the opening of a new church and for a few days stayed at a country house in the neighborhood. This bishop was excessively fond of a game of billiards and could hold his own on the cloth against the majority of amateurs. During this visit Lis lordship played several quiet games with his host but one morning had a prolonged run of bad luck, which so exasperated him that at last he entirely lost his temper and in his rage snapped the cue in two across his knee. This mad action seemed to bring the bishop to his senses, and with profuse regrets he apologized to his host for his conduct declaring that he would not have had it happen for the world. But the host coolly replied: "I must beg you. my lord, to think no more about the matter. I am really glad that it occurred, as for many years I haTe been wishful to see what a bishop was like when he wanted to use bad language." London Tit-Bits. WANTS RECEIVER. John B.
