Fen ton and National cycles. Two race meets will be held at Lincoln within a month. One on Merchants Day, August 15th wih eight events and one during the fair September 12 and 13 with five events. These meets will give the boys who are training a chance to get even for the timo they are putting in on the track. The pleasures of the picnic given by the ladies of the 4 C's to the masculine contingent Wednesday night were sud denly and sadly terminated by tbo death by drowning of Mr. Colby, an attach" of the park. The boys adjourn ed to the bank of the creek instantly and rendered all the assistance they could until the body was found. Eleven members of the Capital City Cycling Club made more than a cen tury of miles last Sunday on the run to York and return. The distance 124 miles was made in the actual running time of 94 hour6. Ed Allen, Chas. Thompson, Walt Hunter, Burt Taylor, Alva Halley. Oreal Ward, Henry Peters, Jo George, Harry Harley, Joe Sullivan and C. F. Phillips were the members who accomplished the ride. On Wednesday evening the ladies of the 4 C's took charge of the regular weekly run of the club and turned it into a summet'e eve picnic beneath the trees at Lincoln Park. Part of the.club went out on wheels and part on the street cars. Arriving at the park the tables wero arranged and the refresh ments partaken of.

The Nebraska Exposition Association and Lancaster County Agricultural So ciety will hold its annual exhibit in this city on September 9-13th. I call atten tion to this from the fact that this asso ciation has recognized cycling in the proper manner and has hung up a string of prizes for two day's racing viz Sept. Uth and 12th in which there will be five events. Three events the first day One mile novice, quarter mile open and one mile open, all class A, with prizes ranging from 82.00 to 835.00. Second day two events, half mile open, Clats A, and half mile open Class B. Prizes aggregate a value of 76.50.

Some candidates have withdrawn and cast their votes in favor of others. There is some change in the Tote but not a great deal. It appears as follows.

"The Best is always the Cheapest." 1 These two Proverbs do not conflict but are synonymous. They are condense! statements; meaning that the world's experience is that money is not 6aved by buying low priced goods. Tticycling is in its infancy but has given us two phrases equully true and equally synonymous with the above. They are: TROTH PROCLAIMED. iGet trxe Best." I "Get tlae Rarxitoler" GVttlS.
