The regular annual celebration of Memorla
day took place yesterday , and In spile o
the long time that lias clapicd since the
first flowers were strewed upon the gravef
of the country's defenders , the exerclsei
weio participated In with npparently a
much zest na If the celebration lm < l been n
novelty , Mnny of the residences nnd bus !
ness houses along the line of march were
plentifully bespangled with thu natlona
colors. The day was observed as a holiday
among the business men generally , am
thousand * of people took up positions on the
street for the purpose oflewlng the pro
cession.
The old soldiers , members of societies am
school children formed In line abuut Dnyllsf
park and marched to the cemetery , where
they found several hundred people who hat
preferred to take their own time abou
getting to the place of meeting. The paradt
was headed by a platoon of police , and John
Limit and ! ' . A. Sackett , with their aides
followed. Then came lalb y's band , fol
lowed In turn by the Dodge Light Guards
High school cadets. Aba Lincoln post , Gram

Order of United American Mechanics , with

which thn Salvation army and thu colorei

music. Several thousand school chlldrei
formed a large part of thu processloji , the
rear of which contained the singers "of the
day , the Metlioilifi church choir , Woman's
Relief corps and the clergy , all In carriages
Having arrived at the cemetery , the old
soldiers broke ranks and proceeded to the
decoration of graves , whlln the main column
went to the speakers' stand and prepared
to listen to the speaking. B. L. Shugart
acted as master of ceremonies. Addresses
were made by HeV. Dr. Askln and Hev. J.
Indus Farley , both of them abounding In
the spirit of patriotism and containing
passages of great clomienco. The Methodist
choir , fifty school children and Ualbey's
band furnished the music. The exercises
wound up with the llrlng of three volleys
over the graves.
The Union Veteran Legion and the Ladles
Auxiliary took charge of the memorial serv
ices at Walnut Hill. The beautiful cemetery
was thronged with carriages and the turf was
covered with people. There were some new
features In the program that lent additional
beauty and pathos to the beautiful services.
At 2:30 : o'clock carriages drove up to the
center of the grounds , Illled with little girls
dressed In white , with American flags for
sashes. After leaving the carriages they
formed In line , and marched toward the sol
diers' burying ground , each child bearing
wreaths and armfuls of boeniets and each
accompanied by a good strong man bearing
a larger burden of flowers. Each little girl
took her station at one of the graves marked
with the tiny Hag. When all were placed
and the big bundles of flowers were becom
ing heavy a bugler stationed near the canter
of the cemetery sounded a blast , and with
one accord the white arms dropped their
burdens of blossoms on the soldiers' graves ,
and then turned and relieved the masculine
bearer of his load , which were placed with
loving touches over the grassy mounds. It
required but a moment , but the act was full
of grace , beauty and pathos. When the rain
of blossoms was over .and the mounds were
hidden with the lovely offerings , the bugle
again sounded and the children marched
back to one of the southern hillsides , where
the speakers' stand had been erected , and
where the Boomer Center band , an organiza
tion of musical farmer boys , furnished the
patriotic airs. It was their first appearance
In public , and they made a very creditable
appearance. The next new feature was the
raising of a largo silk flag on the
summit of the ridge devoted to the soldier
graves. This was performed by "the
daughter of the encampment. " Miss Sylvia
Snyder , a bright little 10-yenr-old child of
Uov. G. W. Snyder. The flag and staff were
200 yards away , but from her position on
the platform she loosed Us silken folds by
simply pulling a slender wire that led up
from the platform and was concealed by the
branches of the trees that carried It to the
nag. It was greeted with shouts of ap
plause by the assemblage and the "Star
Spangled Banner" by the band.
W. W. Wallace Introduced the speakers ,
Kinmctt Tlnley and Hon. Lee S. Estelle.
Mr. Tlnley's address was in the. nature of
' brilliant and thoughtful
a dcdlcat'on. It was a
ful production , delivered with thu young era
tor's greatest vigor and earnestness and
with an emphasis that carried each word
to the outskirts of the listening multitude.
Judge Estelle's address , although prepared
hastily In the busy moments of a lawyer's
life , was au eloquent tribute to American
manhood and the. grand army that fought
the battles to preserve the nation , and held
the attention of the audience to the last
syllable. He sketched the growth and
mighty development of our country , analyz
ing the forces that have wrought Its great
ness , pointed out the path to future secur
ity nnd greater civilization , and then fought
over again with the old veterans the bloody
battles of the rebellion. His sketching
of the battles was so vivid that thirty
years of time were swept as'.de and the old
veterans heard the rear of guna and the din
of battle once more with the vividness of
reality. His peroration was a masterly
sketch of the character of Abraham Lincoln.

for consideration at gome future time.
One amusing feature of the evening was
the reading of a communication from J. J.
Shea , who had been u ; esseJ with a piano
and a buggy , neither of which he ever had.
After demanding that the board either knock
off the kald assessment or else give him the
piano and buggy , he proceeded to read the
riot act wltli the most charming freedom
possible. He loitl the board that It U would
swear off on such acts ot petty meanness
and devote a little attention te > making the

ness for a little while. Immediately aftci
the communication had been read the boanl
adjourned precipitately until Friday mornlnj

CHICAGO , May 30.-VTe Chicago road
race , the successor 08-ih . historic Pullman
bicycle event , wa run over the new North
Side course today , the finish being witnessed
by an Immense throng ot enthusiastic spec
tators. The successful contestants for hon
ors were as follow * : Fred Ran , Chicago
man , time 57 minutes , ten seconds ; second
In , J. J. Dezenek , T. C. C. ; third , A. Widen ;
fourth , F. F. Barrett , University of Chicago
cage ; fifth , A. Jackson , L. Cycling club.
The race was for the first time run from a
point on the Lake Shore drive , opposite the
Grant monument In Lincoln park , north to
Evanston and back to the starting point , a
distance of something over eighteen miles ,
and while It was a trifle longer and con
tained more bad turns than the Pullman
course , It was the superior ot the old route
as to footing. The hour of starting was
fixed at 10 o'clock , and long before the hour
arrived the drives and footpaths of Lincoln
park were thronged with spectators. People
ple In carriages , tallyhos and park phaetons ,
wheelmen and pedestrians were clustered
about the Imposing monument and gathered
on the granite beach to cheer the scant robed
wheelmen and view the finish. There were
416 entries , nnd over 300 contestants lined
up when the hour arrived.
The veteran whceelman , N. H. Van Slck-
len , officiated as starter , and promptly at the
stroke of 10 the limit man was started ,
twelve moments ahead of the scratch. As
the first man left the mark , and bending
over his frail steed , punched his pedals
straight away for Evanston , he was greeted
with a rousing cheer , and was soon skirting
the lake northward at a terrific pace. As
soon as the limit man was off the others fol
lowed In quick succession , starting In twos
and threes and bunches , according to their
handicaps. Five cracks were billed for the
scratch , J. P. Bliss , Herbert Glthens , George
K. Karrett , H. U. Wlnshlp and A. E Lums-
den , but of these only the three latter were on
hand. As they left the mark amid lusty
cheera and sped away after the leaders , car
riages and bicycles swung Into line and fol
lowed nt a rattling gait to view the first few
miles of the contest. The course had been
cleared by the police , and the racers had full
swing In their hot ride for cycling glory.
Tliero was but one bad place In the route ,
the crossing of the St. Paul railroad tracks ,
and there some of the riders were badly de
layed , but the majority crossed free from the
obstruction of passing trains and .swinging
gates.
gates.CROWDS
CROWDS INTERFERED GREATLY.
As soon as the last sturter had disappeared
the Immense crowd Which lined the courts
became unmanageable Surging back and
forth , straining at the ropes and crowding
over one another In the attempt to reach a
point of vantage , thodrive was soon black
with people. Ropes soqn parted and police
lines were broken through , and In the crush
many people were t knocked down and
trampled upon , although none were seriously
Injured. The mounted police time and again
charged the surging IJnes , and only after a
vicious amount of clabblng was the track
cleared. .1
Soon disabled riders began to make their
appearance , limping along down the course
and shoving or carrying their broken steeds.
The first man back was0. . Zimmerman of
the Young Men's'Christian association , a
relative if Zimmerman ; , the crack , and one
ot the riders of whom-much was expected. He
collided with a mounted , policeman within u
mile ot the start'aiid , returned with u badly
smashed wheel and a strained arm and
temper. The Belmo'nt avenue turn devel
oped Into a dangerous point In the course
and many of the riders went down there.
Three men , E. C. G. Touch. W. H. Gross
and William Holme , met at that point and a
terrible collision followed. Gross and Holmes
weio badly disabled. Many minor accidents
resulted from punctured tires and buckled
whocls , and during the hour's watt for the
finish a sorry looking procession of bruised
and bleeding wheelmen limped past the
Judges' stand and hunted up physicians.
All along the route people wore gathered In
the windows and on the sidewalks watching
the racers as they whirled by , occasionally
urging them on with hearty cheers. The
men who dropped out or were disabled along
the route were overwhelmed with offers of
assistance and many were sent back to the
park In carriages.
One of the most serious accidents of the
day occurred near the finish. E. Llndqiilat
of the Lakevlew club was coming Into the
final stretch at a scorching pace , with half
a dozen riders bunched around him. A
sudden swerve threw Llndqulst's wheel
against two others. The rider was thrown
from his machine and the wheel was

from the twisted pile of spokes nnd Urea
nnd was ajded by friends. Ho was taken to
the tent In which his club had headquarters ,
and physicians who were called pronounced
his Injuries very serious. His shoulder was
dislocated and his body badly bruised.
WILD SCENE AT THE FINISH.
The finish was an exciting one. As the
cry went up that the men were coming , the
crowds surged forward and wore beaten back
by the frantic police , who weVo barely able
to keep th.o way clear for the contestants.
The leaders swept down tlie stretch at a
terrific pace , each man showing all that was
In him. The scene was full of coloring , with
the green mounds and granite monument on
one hand , and sparkling In the bright sun
the wide expanse ot Lake Michigan on the
other. Artistically considered , the race was
a success , for probably never before was n
cycle race ended In a moro beautiful spot.
AB Ran shot over the tape a howl ot joy
went up from his friends , and the crowd
cheered In sympathy. Bezcnck was a hot
second , and then the men came In bunched
for the first fifteen or twenty , all pedaling
by at a breakneck speed. Then came the
stragglers , some working hard , and others
taking It easy , but each one cheered by the
crowd. Rau was pulled from his wheel and
carried up and down the course on the
shoulders of his frantic friends , to be greeted
on every sldo with congratulations. The
time made was considered good , taking Into
consideration the stiff notheast wind against
which the men had tp ye > dal , and the race
wan unanimously pronounced the mod suc
cessful , all tilings considered , In the history
of the famous event.
The contest for the time prize resulted In
a tie between C. H. Peck ot the Chicago
Cycling club nnd W. B. Balnbrldgo of the
Columbia Wheelmen. Time : 64:3i5. : Peck's
