And as further earnest of his sincerity , he agreed to allow said scribe to hold the stakes , and the ex hibition should be free to the public.

Wli It- taker says he will cover the five miles under mrteen minutes. If he does , be'll have to beat any riding he has ever done here. The race Is for $200 a side , and there Is no ground 'or the suspicion or a hippodrome , as the backers o each men are responsible and re liable gentlemen , who wonld rather see no sport than that which Is tainted. Following are the articles of agreement : We the undersigned hereby agree to run a bicycle race at Association park , Omaha , Sunday.

A Midsummer Night' * Dream. The summer evening concert at Motz's Tenth street garden last evening was a musical treat und heartily enjoyed by a air sized and very 'appreciative audi ence. Among the numbers on the pro gramme was Schubert's serenade ; South ern songs of AiuoVica , with violin solo > y Nahan Franko ; Strauss' waltz , Morn- net ; overture , from Scmiramidc , Uossini ; selections from Kigolletto , Verdi : Span- sh dances , Mor/.kowaki , and selections Tpru the beautiful , ppera of Carmen , ! i/et. It was a pleasure to hear Nahan franko's finished violin performance. His rendering of thoSpanish , dances , al though brilliant in some of the higher strains , was in a degree preliminary to the delicacy and feeling and remarkable nirity of tone which characterized the oyerturo from Somiramide. The most diftlcult compositions he renders with ease , and such mclifluous notes as roll From his instrument are seldom heard From a violin. Indeed , his whole orches tra , the Philharmonic , is of a high artistic quality , and well worth any trouble al most to hear. MONTHLY POLICE HEPOBT. The Arrest * Made During the Month of June.

Another Metropolitan Feature The City Auditor Tnlkn. Omaha is showing its metropolitan character in some new wuy every day. The latest is the establishment of saloons in alloys , which is a feature of the big cities of the world. One of these saloons has been opened in the alley near the postollicc , and another is about to start in the alley back of the court house. "I think this is a good idea , " said City Auditor Goodrich yesterday morning. "If wo are to have saloons , it seems to me that the more secluded places they are in the less complajntthe police will have of any nuisance arising from their presence. It is also a great benefit to denominational drinking. In all the large cities I have visited , tbo very best saloons have alley locations. " "Rather bad for fat men , " remarked a waggish bystander. "Our alloys arc too narrow for the comfortable navigation of some people I know. " "There's where you're wrong , " replied the genial auditor. "It would bo a de cided benefit no danger of staggering , you see. " "Speaking of saloons , " said the deputy city clerk , "reminds me thut six saloons have given up tiic ghost and closed their doors. We have 5J41 loft , however. " ncautiful Windows. There is now a largo force of carpen ters engaged in putting the now chamber of commerce into condition for opening.
