ON THE QUI VIVE.

There will be a great many'persons in this vicinity who will say "I told you so, with reference to the decision of the Su ireme court yesterday practically deciding that the election of members of the legislature this year must be under the apportionment act of 1885. In this part of the state there was an almost universal opinion that it would not pay to attack the act of 1885, and now that the court has held that the attack will not stand there will be great satisfaction. So far as Vigo county is concerned the decision of the Supreme «Murt will cut no figure in the legislative business. Under the legislative act of 1885 Vigo county is in the same joint representative district, Vigo, Sullivan and Vermil lion, and we have two representatives and pne senator. The effect of this decision will be to improve the chances of W. McKeen for the United States senatorship, at least it is so looked upon by those in a position to know something of the present situation.

The Masonic Temple project will be brought before the various Masonic bodies i)f this city at the regular meetings which begin next week. The committee which has had charge of the preparation of plan for the building of the Temple will have a meeting next Monday night at which the plan proposed by the sub-corn mittee will be submitted for approval. It is said the plan is a good one, and that the prospects for the building are brighter than ever before.

The new assessment of this township is likely to show some remarkable features in more than an increase of the personal property. The other day Township As sensor Carr discovered that in one new subdivision added to the duplicate in recent years but two or three housesbut of nearly one hundred had been assessed, Unbalance having escaped taxation for several yearn He took the county surveyor and went over the subdivision, and as a result ''will add several hundred dollars' worth of property that has never before paid taxes.

The craze for bicycles still continues, and every'evening the streets are occupied not only by those who can ride but by those who are anxious to learn the accomplishment. Down on Fifth street the other night a lady who had been trying to learn, exclaimed with a great deal of earrtestness, "I would rather work in the kitchen 805 days in the year than to ride one "of those "horrible things,,r All the same she kept at- it, and no doubt in a short time will be coursing over the streets with all the vim of a scorcher.

The Wabash Cycling club boys are evidently in earnest in the efforts to secure the passage of an ordinance regulating the sjH'ed of bicycles. They conferred with a council committee some time ago, and last Tuesday night they petitioned the council for the appointment of a committee to act in conjunction with the club committee to arrange for an ordinance of the nature referred to. The subject of "scorching" is one that is agitating all cities, and it is proper that the leading bicycle organissa tion of this city should take the initiatory step towards securing the adoption of an ordinance governing speed. The members of the Wabash Cycling club are enterprising fellows, and are entitled to credit for the steps they have taken.

A lady living on the north side who has been putting in her extra time for the past few weeks endeavoring to learn to ride the bicycle and spending all her pin money for arnica and other healing preparations, is in a peculiar frame of mind, wondering why some people can ride the wheel so easily while slu cannot. She was up bright ami early last Sunday morning, putting in a few extra touches on her wheel, and saw the Kockville crowd kv.ve The first person she saw pass on the trip vns a man with a cork leg, who rode with fills one good leg as easily as if bicycle (riding was his regular business. A few I minutes later a rider passed who had but one leg. and was even minus the cork assistant. She wondered a trifle more, and this trifle increased to an avalauche of wonderment when a man passed who hat!

Wit one arm. Here she was, sound in body and limb, with a firm determination to master the wheel, and yet she couldn't do it, while men with lost members were able to pass her without any trouble at all. She Is thinking seriously of having a commission appointed to endeavor to determine why some persons can ride the wheel without any trouble while others with all their efforts cannot.

The decision of the Supreme court this week making it possible for John 8. Bench to be prosecuted on any of the remaining indictments against him, leads one to wonder if the ex-banker did not start in business as a "loan agent" just a trifle too soon.

Ed. Sparks wilt never, no never, go buggy riding again on a dark night outside the city limits. Kd. is a crank on base ball of the indoor variety, a basket ball player of some note, a bicyclist of renoun. and has a suggestive name for a young man to take with him when he goes buggy riding with a young lady. But with all that he couldn't stand tip before the mtixsles of three or four pistols Thursday night, when attacked near the Rose Orphan home, and tell a straight up and down ltet that he had no money. It wouldn't have d*-.- him any good, if he had. The enterpt^ng highwayman who if out highwaying nowadays known that the young man who goes boggy riding with a pretty girl these ice cream and soda water nights muat

harc

be in it. It cost Mr. Sparks 13.75 to discover that paved streets are safer for buggy lading purposes than country lanes, and it is to be hoped that the lesson will sink deeply into the hearts of all susceptible young men who would rather spend their money for buggy rides than donate it to church purposes or to spread the gospel in heathen lands. *,

Reub. Butz, who is treasurer of the local T. P. A. finance committee, is having some fun out of the thing as he goes along.When any of the local contributing T. P. A. members who happen to be Catholics pay the amounts they have subscribed to the expense fund he gives them a receipt couched in about the following terms: "Received of John Soandso, $25.00, in full of subscription to the A. P. A." A non-resident member of the 'local post whose name is Kelley, received such a receipt, and sent it home without examining it, and when his venerable mother receives it it is expected that there will be trouble over the fact that a man of that name is spending his money to assist the A. P. A.

Good for the police! They are going to make another effort to ^suppress the sales in this city of the Indianapolis People, which is about the dirtiest combination that ever put to shame paper, press and ink." If the police officers should be fined for contempt in ignorihg an drder of court regarding the attempt to suppress thife contemptible sheet, there will be no trouble in raising the anuftmt of their fines by popular subscription.

A. Convention Week.

The committee on entertainment of the visitors to the city during the convention* of the Travelers Protective association, the first week in June have decided on a change in the excursion with distinguish all these national gatherings at

taen who are on

business excursions the. remainder of the ye#r, and the party will go to Put-in-Bay instead of Niagara Falls and Thousand Islands. The round fare rate for the latter trip was fixed at $26 which was thought to be more than the visitors would want to spend. The Put-in-Bay trip will cofct $7.50 for railroad and steamboat passage and will cover four days. Leaving here Friday morning there probably will be a stop oi' several, hours in Indianapolis and then on to Toledo by evening, going by the way of the Vandalia and Pan Handle to Dayton and from there to Toledo over the*£. H. &

The railroad companies agree J» furnish a special train if 300 or more paHjseugers are guaranteed and-there are likeliHo more than twice that number. Thte boat ride to Put-in-Bay island Friday evening will take but an hour or so. Saturday the boys who are fishing for trade most of their walking, and sleeping moments, too, will have an opportunity to catch bass where bass are saitl to be the gamest and biggest in any water in the country. Saturday evening the party will go by boat to Detroit., a ride of five hours. representative of the Cleveland navigation company will be here to-morrow to make final arrangements for the best t* 1 to and from Detroit. Saturday night and Sunday will be spent in Detroit and Sunday evening the boat, will return to Toledo where the party will remain over night returning here on the special train Monday morning.

The various committees are completing the details of their tasks and the prospects now are that nothing will have been ur.forseen when the men with their grips arrive in the city. From the beginning the chief purpose has been to make the visitors comfortable. It is the essential principle of true hospitality, and the Post G. members appreciate that fact. Every post in the country has been asked for the names, and number- of persons who will be here convention week. On Monday and Tuesday committtees will board all incoming traius to get the names of the travelling men bound for the city and this informa tion will be telegraphed to headquarters that the visitors may be assigned to rooms in advance of their arrival.

The parade is to be a big spectacular event, surpassing anything of the kind ever seen in the city. In addition to the several thousand traveling men to be in line Tuesday evening the fire and police departments and a thousand or more wheelmen with decorated wheels will also be in line. The streets will be illuminated and decorated as never before.

The ladies' branch of the general executive committee, of which Mrs. E. H. Bindley is chairman, has selected the hotel and carriage ride committees. Their membership is as follows:

^y^cementis made in another column pthe Fort Harrison Savings Associais now ready for business in its new

quarters, 656 Main street. This association is to be conducted on a plan somewhat different from those heretofore in force among the building and loan associations of this city, the "Dayton plan," and the high character of the gentlemen interested in itis an assurance that its affairs will be well managed.

Wm. C. Piepenbrink, formerly a well known cigar manufacturer of this city, but who for several years past has been connected with Maurice Hagerty's factory, has gone into business for himself on south Fifth street. His thorough knowledge of all the details of the business render itcertain that he will turn out none but the very best goods. His leading brands will be the "Willie Bill" and "American Flower."

John Roll, formerly a member of the police force, died very suddenly Thursday morning, at his rooms on north Third street.

During the heavy storm Monday morning the northwest corner of the big Havens & Geddes Co.'s retail store was struck by lightning, frightening all the occupants of the store but doing but little damage beyond tearing off some bricks. At about the same time Kleeman's was struck, the electric wires burned out and a gas pipe was melted. The burning gas set fire to the first floor of the store, and only for prompt action there would have been a most disastrous fire. Large numbers of shade trees throughout the city were damaged by the heavy wind storm that accompanied the rain.

In another column announcement is made of the candidacy of Capt. James W, Haley for the position at county commissioner from this district, the Second. There is no mote responsible place within the gift of the people than that of county commissioner, for the board of three men have the financial destinies of the county in their own bands practically. Mr. Haley's record as a councilman in the last and a previous council is a guarantee that he would look carefully after the interests of the taxpayers. He is competent and reliable, and his nomination would add strength to the ticket in the coining campaign.

THE RUNNING RACES.

The novelty and excitement of running races will attract the people to the fair grounds next week. Terre Haute has never had a modern running race meeting. All who have seen one say it will be a rare treat, and that when the horses come under the wire there will be scenes of enthusiastic excitement excelling anything known in Terre Haute. There is something in the rush of horses in motion all over, with the thundering sound from their hoofs, which makes the most phlegmatic person jump to his feet. Four horses running close together gives the impression of a dozen. The peculiar satisfaction in running races is that every heat is a race, and while it does not last long the tension of the excitement is exhilerating and really refreshing in its effect. The management of running ruics gives the effect of a circus spectacle. When the bell rings the horses are ridden into the track and down past the grand stand in single file. The little jockeys—some will weigh less than a hundred pounds and look like monkeys clinging close to the necks of the big animals—wear strongly contrasted colors. There is no difficulty in identifying them at any place on the track, and besides their numbers are painted in big figures on white cloths which hang at the side of the saddle and can readily be distinguished without glasses at any point of the race. It is suggested, however, that a much better view of a race is to be had by the use of glasses.

The horses are paraded past the stand both ways so that a view of each animal from both sides may be obtained. At the sound of a bugle they go to the starting post. All except two or three races are more than four furlongs, that is more than a half mile, and the starts therefore will be at various points south of the half mile ball on the east side of the "fourcornered" track. There are two races of more than a mile. The starter, Mr. Farley, will be on the other side of the track during the afternoon with his rubber rope, which is what the so-called starting machine really is, and which is quickly and easily adjusted at any point desired. He it is who shall say how much extra weight a horse is to carry in a handicap race. He bases his judgment on the previous performances of the horses or on what he knows of his speed, gepor«JLljf.,«Ati hi# ftiia to .#o^(i|¥t the ^eightfon each bortfer Mt&ifoafo'it tween all the horses. It would be the same as if in a trotting race, knowing that one horse bad ten seconds fastor speed than another, to make the faster horse draw more weight in the sulky.

There will be more than enough horses here to make the meeting successful from a racing point of view, and there will 1v» good and fast horses among them. This morning more than one hundred head ass on the grounds. It is explained why the running horses race for smaller purses than harness horses by citing the fact that the latter are costlier in the purchase price, thereby representing more capital and because the expense of a string of trotting horses is much greater than that of a stable of runners. A $300 purse for run ners is as much as an $800 purse for trot ters. The trotting horse trainer and driver are paid large salaries, that is those who are with horses entered for large purses and there are more employes about the stable" "than with runners. The cost of shipping much greater. Fourteen or sixteen run ners can be shipped in one car, but with the trotters only three, or four or five at the most, go in one car. The sulkies and other equipments, which also call for an outlay of money not required with runners, take up car room for which the railroad companies charge space. In addition to these reasons for the less cost of maintain ng a stable of runners, there is also the fact that the owner does not have to pay an entrance fee. The owner of the trotter must pay 5 per cent, of the amount of the purse to start and 5 per cent, more if he wins any of the money. The running horseman at the big tracks who have been seen in regard to coming here say the purses are all that could be asked.

The jockeys who are here have been in training as if for an athletic contest. The other day one of them was seen running to the city wearing a sweater and heavy coat. He said afterward that he was trying to get down in weight, that he had taken off ten pounds, and while he then weighed only 104, he wanted to lower his weight at least five pounds more. The jockey also diets himself and eats but very little food of any kind. But the running horse is well fed. There is a standard of weights for jockeys, varying according to the month in the year, the age of the hone and the distance of the race. For Instance, in May the weight for a three-year-old horse in a half mile race is 110 pounds, but for a four-year-old horse it is 122 pounds. For a three-year-old in May for a mile it is 106 pounds, and for a four-year-old it is 122 pounds. In June the weight for the three-year-old in a halt mile race is 111 pounds, and for the four-year-old it remains at 123. For a two-year-old in May for a half mile the weight is only 84 pounds.

No postponed races are carried over until the next day. A race may be declared off unless there are four or more starters.

An owner cannot enter the same horse in two races of the same day. Each track fixes its own standard of fees for jockeys. Here it is to be $5 for a jockey on a losing horse and $15 for the rider of a winning horse. Many of the owners of running horses do not have a regular jockey but employ one for each race. There will be a number of jockeys here who have ridden in the large cities.

The exposition hall will be used for a paddock. All horses for a race must be in the paddock not less than twenty minutes before the bell calls them to the track. The jockeys are weighed before they leave the paddock. No one is permitted to enter the paddock or speak to the jockeys. The horses are ridden on the track and pass the grand stand twice before going to the starting point. If the race is 4 furlongs, a half mile, they will go around the track from the stand to the south and east and start from the half mile ball. In a race of more than a mile, the spectators in the stand will see them twice while racing.

The Creveling starting machine is a round rubber rope. It is stretched about four times its normal length across the track. By touching a spring it is loosened and flies upward and out of the way "quicker than sight." The object is to prevent a jockey trying to get a leading start. If he comes ahead of the other horses and tries to start against the starter's wish he strikes the rubber band and there is no start. When the starter is ready to let them go he springs the machine and they are off. Everywhere this year the machine has served to almost absolutely prevent false starts.

The City Council.

The new city council went to work Tuesday night and elected the following ofllcers: City Attorney—George E. Pugh, succeeding John O. Piety.

Fire Chief—Theodore Goodman, succeeding Josiah D. Jones. Assistant Fire Chief— Albert Shuster, succeeding Theodore Goodma,n. ,,.

This ticket was not made without considerable trouble. The caucus met Saturday night and selected this ticket, with the exception that city attorney, John O. I'iety, was retained in the position and a list, of ^Committees was agreed on that turned down the so-called "ltoss faction." Then a fight was made on Piety, another caucus was called for Monday night, and the ticket above named was selected. It did not receive the unanimous vote of the Republicans in the council, on the vote for city attorney the caucus nominee receiving but ten votes. The mayor's list of committees went through, as follows, and the mayor may now be said to be in "the saddle," as he was in the old council.
