Another flue crowd assembled at the Coli seum last evening , nnd the horsc-blcyclo chasewss resumed amidst much enthusiasm.

His daring horsemanship was not long in metamorphos ing the race , for in the first two hours' rid ing , with tbo assistance of his fair compan ions , Miss Williams and Miss Rabor. ho cut down the lead of iho bykers from six miles to six laps. If Broncho Olmrllo is allowed to continue , there Is little doubt but that the horses will win. .

The little lady Is yet u great favorite with all patrons of the Coliseum. Miss Kittle Brown , however , shows moro im provement In riding than any of the fair cyclists , ami was rapturously applauded lust night as she lead the fiery uronchos In their weary chase. She waa also the recipient of severnl handsome- floral offerings. Louise Armamuo uud Miss Lily U'illiams ore riding well , and were both given an ovation on their appearance.

To the Sporting Editor of THE BED : When I left this city for New York , three weeks ago , I issued an accept ance to Mr. Flagg's challenge on behalf of Miss Williams. I posted a deposit of $25 , to make a match for six days , two hours per day , and to allow any and all lady bicyclists to onter. That forfeit baa remained uncov ered up to this time. But as all the champion 1'ady wheelists nro now in Omaha , I am still ready to match ono of my ladies for the same kind of a race , and to make the sweepstakes * 50 or ? 100 oaoh , no body barred and no favors asked. If three or nmre start , the gate money to bo divided into three shares 50 , 30 and 'M per cent , the winner to take tbo whole sweepstakes money. Now this is my last any llnal challenge , and if any person means business let him cover this uionoy , which I deposit with you iu good faith. Enclosed you will find $50 , which speaks for itself ; $50 or $100 is plenty to run for , und will prove who is the best lady bicyclist in the world. T. W. ECK. Artiolca of Aurcoinntit.

A match race , with the casti up , between the faU-'st four lady bicyclists should provo un interesting event. The "Yellow Fevers" Shoot.

It is nearly Sun day morning. 1 am a desperate man , because Mrs. Margaret M. Smith , of 1219 North Charles street , Baltimore , Md. , bos deceived mo. She became engaged to me , and when I objected to certain liberties she took with men not gentlemen she was mad und said the was independent of mo. She is a miser able , deceptive woman. She treated Rov. Mr. Pond , of Philadelphia , in the same way. Indeed , claiming that she loved me. she per suaded mo to write a letter of rejection to him. He considered himself as her engaged , lover for five years , and yet in all that time , in Westminster , Md. , and in Baltimore , Md. , she had been a gay woman. H. G. S.

BALTIMORE , May 23. [ Special Telegram to THIS BKB. ] On the street , in the clubs , everywhere , the ono topic of conversation has been the cause of Rov. Henry Greenflold Schorr's ' Sunday morning suicide , as pub lished in an out-of-town paper , to which bo had sent both his correspondence und that of the woman ho loved , as well as her name. Schorr evidently was a peculiar man" taking his mculi at an expensive hotel and having comfortable rooms at St. Paul's parish houso. He was a favorite with the fashlonu bid congregation of Str Paul's , whore he was assistant rector. Ho constantly refused to talk about his parents , who lived in a humble way in an obscure part of the town. Having borrowed their savings ho was ashamed' of them. Ho gave many false reasons for ins periodical gloom. First , a friend had com mitted suicide because he nad urged the pay ment of a debt. Then a mythical sister was seriously ill In Brooklyn , etc. Schorr was buried to-day. A reporter called this evening at the luxurious homo of Mrs. Margaret M. Smith at No. 121 ! ) North Charles street , the woman whom Schorr says ruined his life. Her appearance be trayed thu fact that she hassuffered , a great deal recently. She is lull and slender and has very dark , expressive eyes and black hair. She looked to bo about forty years of uce. ' "Tho letters as published Avoro true , " she said , but Mr. Schorr's act in sending the love letters was the act of a coward and was demo beoauso I would never marry him. At the tlmo I wrote thorn I really , dld care for him , but I told him I couldn't marry him. I was a woman much older than Mr. Schorr , in fact , ho was a boy to mo. I know nothing of his family and ho would never toll ma anything about thorn. His continued attentions wou my regard and I did learn to love him , but always told him I could never marry him. I think ho was crazy and his uct in sending my letters and picture to the newspapers wns thu act ot a coward. The lust paragraph in the paper is absolutely false and was written lu a spirit of rovongo. " She roforrrd to the part of his last letter to the newspaper In which ho charged her with being a deceitful woman and playing fust aud loose with other men beside .himself. A JUyHtcry of Doutli.
