Flage , of this city , Williams , nnd thcro Is but littles doubt but that the event will prove ono of the most interesting that bus .vet taken place in the building. Miss Stanley has long been looked upon as the champion lady bicyclist of the country , nnd as this Is her llrst nppcaranco here , she will probably prove n great drawing t-ard. All the patrons of the Coliseum know full well what Eortof arldcrMiss Williams Is , and that Is , ono of the cleverest and speediest In the buslucbs. The prevailing opinion Is that she will fltid an easy victim in the Now Yorker , but like base ball , bicycle races are extremely unccituin. The sporting editor of TUB Bun has been selected as referee. AN UP AND UP AFFAIR. The Grtfml Swropstnkr * Race Itogin- iilne Juno IMth.

This will evidently stand him well in hand , as in Needhain ho will find a foeman of such gainencss , ability and cleverness as ho has never faced before , and ho must needs exor cise every resource to hold up his ona. However - over , the prognostication is made that if Lindsay does not win , Nccdham will fully realize that he has had a light when ho gets through.

" Run to Blair to-day , leaving the club rooms at 7:80 : a. m. sharp , the run to Glcnwood being abandoned on account of going that way on the 100-mIlo rldo. There have never been so many accidents on a ride as on the 100-tnllo run ; two wheels bucked , arms and feet sprained , and one of the boys claimed to have sprained his face , but that , of course , is overdoing the matter. A striking illustration of the ease with which ladles learn to ride the safety bicycle Is that of a young lady hero , without previ ous experience on any form of 'cycle , ob tained complete control of her machine after tbreo-quarters of an hour experimenting , and succeeded In mastering the mount on the first attempt. Seventeen men started on the century run , only four finishing , the others taking the train at various points along the route. It Is safe to soy that a tougher 10(1 miles never was run out of Omaha. The exact distance covered being 118 miles , seventy miles of It ever hills near enough to ono another to look Hue the teeth of u cross-cut saw , and part of the last twenty-three mile douo trough a flno rain. rain.F.

Sandy McDermott , the umpire , receives only the most flattering encomiums from the Dress everywhere ho ofllciates. Ho will be in the National league in another season. Mark that. Under the new rules the uncertainty o the game was never so s riklncly illustrated. Teams with as big n margin as n lead of six or seven runs in the curly part of the game have boon beaten out when victory seemed absolute. At Minneapolis , a wcelt ago , the homo team hud a lead of 10 to 1 in tlio llfth inning , but DCS Moincs wont in and made 0 in the sixth and 0 in the seventh and won the game.
