The Milwaukee Hicycle Meetand Run =—Reception and Ball at Lakeside and Oconomowoc — Chicago Wheelmen Participating—On the Road—Personal Wheel Notes. The second annual meet and run of the Mil- waukee Bicycle Club, which occurred on the 2d, 3d, and 4th inst, was a pronounced success, al- though Chicago did not turn out one-quarter ns many wheelmen as expected. Among the mem- ters of the Chicago Club were John M. Fuirfield, Burley B. Ayers, G. W. Tarr, C. F. Whitmarsh, Charles Losch, and H.T. Nichols. The delegates from the Arie! Club were George Keen, J. B. ‘Lyon, Jr, G. H. Seaverns, L. J. C. Spruance, A. Cowles, Jr., Edson Keith, and F.C. Aldrieh. ‘Among the wheelmen from abroad who passed through Chicago en route to the meet were A. B. Holt, local editor of the Kankakee Gazette, ‘and an entbusinstic wheciman; W. T. Eldridge, of Columbus, 0.; Ed. S. Monroe. of Joliet; J. D. Cummings, of Waltham, 23fuss.; Elmer 31. White, of Hartford, Conn. Tho greater number of those attending tho ‘meet from here made the trip to Milwaukee by steamer on Friday evening, the Ist inst., arrly- ing at the Cream City on Saturday morning. ‘The grand meet took plige at 1:30 o'clock Sat- urday afternoon at Prospect Avenue Park, Mil- waukee, about 100 wheelmen in costume being in line, and making a@ very creditable appear- ance. After a few muneuvres the company was drawn up in position and photographed,—a matter which the boys never neglect on occa- sions of this kind. * ‘The Sine was then formed for the grand run, and wasin command of Road Captain A. A. Huthaway, of the Milwaukee Club, witn the fol- lowing assistants: First Lieuteuant, A. S. Hiv- bard; Second Lieutenant, H.W. Rogers; Sub- Captain, F. H. Browne; Third Licutenant, E. A. Chapman; Fourth Licutenant, F. L. Pierce; buglers, F. G. Stark, €. HW, Moses, T. K. Birk- hauser. The company moved out on Prospect avenue sixty strong, and was largely composed ot meim- bers of the Milwaukee Club, with the Chicuro wheelmen above mentioned, Mr. Pierce, frum Elgin, and the others named from abroad, and delegates trom Oshkosb, Fond du Lac, and other ints. Pothe first run was to Lakeside, a summer resort west of Milwaukee. via Wauwatosa, Brooktield, and-Pewaukee. a distauce of tweuty-tour miles over the country roads, which were fair tor the greater distance. The regular bugle-cails, whistle code, and bund sicnals were observed .in the movements of the company, and gs the wheelmen moved off down the road in their varied natty uniforms, the spectacic was quite imposing, and the silently and ripidiy moving column of wheels was 8 matter of great wonderment to the natives along the route. The sun's fervent rays quick- iy browned the faces of the <Ariels, for their slight polo caps offered no protection ugainst ‘old Sol. Arriving at Lakeside at 3 o’cloek the bicyclers were royally received by the lady guests there Baturduy evening. The cottages and laws were brillizntiy lighted, and among tho orna- mentations of the hull was a Jarge bicycle beau- fully trimmed by Mrs. Buckingham, Miss Kose Buckingham, and Mrs. F. it. Chandler, of Chi- cure. The members of the Milwaukee Club were Presented a beautiful silk guiden by the ladies, the flag costing not less thun $40. The ball was ® prominent feuture of the evening's entcr- tainment, the bicyclers all attending mm full costume of knee-breeches, etc. On Sunday the company was increased to sixty-seven, and the run continued to Qcono- mowoe, via Delutleld, eighteen miles, the roads not belby easy riding. " Monday, the 4th inst., was spent with # run from Uconomowoe, via North Lake, to Hopkins’, where lunch was s¢rved and the reture made to “Cocney.” On Monday evening a grand ball was n atthe Townsend House in honor of the visiting wheelmen, and it proved to be a very brilliant atfair and was thoroughly enjoyed, not- withstanding the heut. Two lurge bicyclos were beautifully decorated with lowers as ornaments to the bal! ‘On Tuesday mornivug the company . broke ranks and dispersed, and the Chicago wheelmen have beenarriving bume during the week. Al- togetber the run most suceesstully carried out, andour wheelmnen unite in expressing the liveliest satisfaction at the truly maxniticent receptions tendered them everywhere en route. Joseph I.

Financial Affairs -Quiet — Stocks -Generally. Easier. The Weather Too Hot for Activity in Business Circles. The Produce Markets Less. Active—Hog Prod- ucis Dull but Steady. A Firmer Tone in Wheat—Oorn Steadier 2 ~—Oats Weak. FINANCIAL. There was not much new in financial circles Saturday, and the tendency was to quietness all round. The recovery of tho President is now understood to be moderately well assured, and the current of business is not therefore percep- tibly affected by the recent attempted assasina- tion in Washington. Stocks were less active and generally weak. ‘The offerings were fair, but speculators were in- clined to hold off, as usual on the Jast day of the week, and some of the pools in leading lines were supposed to be rather free sellers. The railroad freight war among the Eastern lincs also produced weakness, and the oppressive heat mude people feel more like resting quietly in the shade than like bothering their heads with busl- ness. : Tne Vanderbilt roads were. depressed by the rumors that the trunk lines were extensively engaged In cutting rates down so closely that to suffer much dimiza- ‘The Granger stocks averaged a shade lower, but closed steady, with a moderate volume of business. It was reported that Northwestern has been buoyed up lately by the operations of @ pool holding 25,000 shares. It was understood that Osborne una others who were in it real- ized yesterday, and that the rest” would prob- ably do likewise at an early day. Northwestern sold at 1303, up to 130%, off to 130, and closed at Chicago & Alton was quiet, but firm under tho announcement that 4 4 per cent dividend would be paid in September. Western Union held its own, closing a shade stronger. It was rumored at one time that Juy Gould was selling it. The Company is said to be earning S per cent net on its $30,000,000. Hannibal & St. Joe was firmer at the opening, and closed thé same as on Friday. The pool is said to hold 120,000 shares, or 30,000 more than ex- ist. The clique holds everything, and has vir- tually cornered the market. The openiug yes- terday was 93%, running up to 94, and closing at 9325. It is rumored that the Central Arizona Mine-| expects to pay a monthly dividend of 25c per share, beginning in August or September. This accounts for the late bulye in this stock.

It may be sufely stated that very few people got into the trading crowas who did not feel obliged to be there. The feeling was irreg- ular, however. Wheat was stronger, owing to reports from winter-wheat points stating that the yield on thrashing proves to be much less than recently expected. This gave more confi- deuce, especially as tho British markets were quoted firmer, and it is thought by many that English consumers will want more wheat before harvest than they are likely to obtain at pres- ent prices. Corn was steady, though a good denl was on the market for July, and shippers were held back by the scarcity of freight room, Onts were lower, belvg especially heavy for this mbnth, though some fears were expressed that they will advance again Monday or Tuesday. Other cereals were quiet. Provis- jons were dull, but there were some signs of a rally in lard, and pork was somewhat firmer in sympathy, while hogs were quoted stronger. Mess pork closed 5c bigher, at $17.071¢@11.10 for August and $17.174@17.20 for September. Lard closed S@i74c higher, at FILS26@1 seller Au- gust and $1L20@11. seller September. Short ribs close eudy, at 38.05G8.67}£ for August and $8. + for September. Wheat closed 3c higher, at $1.10%@1.11 for August and 31.09%; @1.0% for September. Corn closed steady, ut 40G@to'4c for August and 461:@4633e for Septem- ber. Outs closed 13¢ lower, at 88%¥¢ for July and Sie for August. Rye closed weak at 9lc bid tor July, August selling at $le in settlement. Barley closed nominully at $1.00 for No.2 and 85c for No.3. Hogs were active and averaged Schigher, light selling at $6.15@5.45 and heavy at $6.0026.60, Cattle were steady at $2.75@6.25 for inferior to extra. The receipts for the week were 277,886 cattle, 95,758 hogs, and 3,241 sheep, as against 27,733 cattle, 109,203 hogs, and 3,735 sheep for tho corresponding week lust year. Dry goods were quiet and. steady. The malls brought a few orders from the country trade, @nd some amatl orders py telegraph were re- ceived, but the day's sales were light in the ag- gregate. Not much was doing in the boot and shoe or clothing markets. Groceries met with a rather light demand, and values were not sub- to any noteworthy change. The prevalent recling was fairly steady. Prices of dried fruits ranzed about as before. They were tirm for nearly everything in the list, but raisins, prunes, and currants showed speciul strength. The tish murket was quiet as last quoted. Whitefish re- main unsettied, the tendency peing downward. Dealers in dairy products report a diminished movement, asa result of the continued ovpres- sive weather, which makes it hazardous to move either butter or cheese except in refrigerator cars. Nothing specially new was developed in the bagging. leather, coal, and pig iron mar- kets: Oils remained quiet and gencrally steady. Lard oils were strona. Huy closed with a dull market, and the low prices of the weok ruling. Broom-corn con- tinues active at the figures of the past month. Egas were a trifle easier, at 1243@18e per dozen for fresh. There {3 little change to note in builaing materials, which are very active. Grease and tailow are dull, with Httle demand and light receipts. In grecn fruits, lemons have advanced sharply, selling at $10.00@11.00 per box. Prunes were fairly active and unchanged. Hides and wool are inactive, with liberalreccipts and a light Eastern demand. Potatovs were steady at Friday's prices, though the receipts were quite liberal. Insceds little or nothing was done for cash, except for flax-seed, which advanced 2c per bu, selling at $1.24, with Sep- tember delivery at $1.15 and Augustat $1.16. ‘Timothy, September delivery, sold at $1.2G2.00, and August at $2.05. Lake frelghts were steady, and firm at 3c for corn to Buffalo. Seven vessels were reported chartered, mostly steam, taking an aggregute of 23,000 bu corn, 43,000 bu wheat, and 22,000 bu flaxseed. Gilbert & Brega received telegrams from Cin- 4 cinnati stating that Southern Obio wheat is showing up very poorly under the thrashing ma- chine. Many flelds are turning ouré@s bu per acre, which promised 2%) bu, and farmers are re- fusing to sell at any price” ~ ‘At the election on Saturday for Director of the Bonrd of ‘frade in phice of Mr.S. A. Kent, resizned, Mr. Ira S. Younglove received a large majority of the votes cast. _ ‘As illustrative of the wide Scope taken by this summer's transactions iti the Chicago lumber market, it may be stated that bids are now so- Neited by parties in New York and Kansas City, both for furnishing over half_a million feet of common lumber. Kansas City is by right in the St. Louls lumber-furnishing ‘district, but. tho last-named parties, needing material, think thoy cnn get better stock, at more reasonable rates (frelebt included), in this city than they can in the city at the other end of tho bridge.

REFINEMENTS OF THE BED-ROOM. ai London Queen. Nothing so marks the distinction between a woman of refined taste and habits, and one of acoarser fibre and more slovenly nature, us the appearance of their bedrooms, The reom of a woman of innate refinement is pervaded by a subtle charm, due tu that vague suggestion of feminine grace and delicacy which hangs over all the details of her-toilet, Lvory-backed brushes, tortoise- shell combs, lace curtains looped back from oval mirror,—all these may be Jacking, and yet a room may strike one as a very bower. For instance, 2 woman of the kind we have in view would soften the ugliness of her plain wooden brushes by the neat frames she would make for them. At night, when she untressed, she would conceal the plain- ness of her removed garments by the square of white muslin edged with lace she would throw over the chair on which they lay. The elegance of her combing-jackets and dress- ing-gowns would atone for the inexpensive- ness of the materials; and the lack of orna- ments on her toilet-table would be remedied by the delightful freshness of the muslin with which she made up her pincushion. We will begin with the brush-case. ‘This is made out of apiece of mauve satin or glaze, twenty-one inches long and twenty- two broad, covered on one side with spotted muslin, This is then doubled in half, and the two sides are stitched up. The case itself lying now finished before you, you proceed to trim the uppermost side or cover. A piece of narrow insertion must be placed all round close to the edge and onto both sides of the insertion some narrow white Jace must be sewn. ‘The e oon the outer side should project one-quarter. of an inch beyond the sides of the ca: The two and one-half yards of pale mruuve rib- bon should be made up into six small bow: one of these bows being piuced at each co ner, and two in the centre. ‘The centre two must be sewn onto a corner of the cz distance respectively of about thre from the top and bottom, and the s tening then down must be taken right through to the under side of the case. By taking these stitches rizht through a couple i re made into which to slip the is kind can of course be made up in all colors to suit car- pets and wall-papers. | ‘The toilet-tidy, which generally hangs on tho right hand of the dressing-table, should match the brush-ease, A piece ol very stil paper eight inches long and six and a half ine wide should be covered with the mnutye glaze and spotted mustin. Then it should be rolled up into an ordinary sugar- louf bag, and_made to retain its shape by a eouple or 30 of stitches, From the conical point at the bottom two or three short ends of narrow ribbon should hang, while the mouth of the baz and the projecting point at the. top should be bound round with ribbon and finished olf with a small bow, A second baz made of note or newspaper, should be placed inside to re- ceive the hair, and should be renewed every fortnight, The nightgown e is a very simple affair, Remembering to have it ac- cord with the rest of your toilet appurte- nances, you make this algo of mauve glaze and muslin, You require a piece of glaz thirty-two inches long and eighteen inches wide. When you have covered your glaz with muslin, you turn over a_ length of twelve inches and stitch up the sides. You border these with lace and insertion, in the same way as you have trimmed the brash case, but the projecting flap you cut into w point and merely bind round with: ribbon. "The square of muslin to throw over your clothes at night is less often seen than the other things we have been describing. Yet ng is more desirable in a bedroom this, It consists of three yards of the muslin of which servants’ aprons are made, trimmed round with torchon lace. When you are traveling it comes in nicely as a Wrapper to put over the tray of your box, ‘The combing-jacket should always be of some washing 1 u.

Jn short, you will find that, with such gowns and cobing: jackets, and such bedroom ap- intme4nts we have ronghly described, both you and your raom will be fit to be seen at any moment, and that both alike will merit the epithets you will hear bestowed on yo ‘A most refined woman—a most charm- ing room!’ A TERRIBLE Look THREATENED.

Rachel, the late renowned: enameler, who during her lifetime dealt so largely and remuneratively in perpetual love- ‘Tiness, has left behind her personal and pro- fessional memoirs of a highly sensational character, which are about to published by her natural heirs. In this autobiegraphy— so, at least, it appears to be eagerly antici pited—will be revealed the toilet secrets of uniny eelebrated contemporary beauties appertaining alike to the aristocracies of birth, wealth, and _ talent. London society, in particular, will be_ electrified by the posthumous disclosures of a person who, having for several successive years traded upon female vanity, was sazacious or cunning enough to establish a widespread reputation for discretion, which stood her in profitable stead among fair but frivolous aspirants to social notoriety. Iris only too probable that Mme, Rachel’s annotated di ries, suppletuented by character sketeli and confidential details such as she may well have accumulated in considerable number durmg her curious experiences, should they be made public, may be the means of sowing dissension inimany a family circle, and of enusing inconceivable distress to some of her former clients. However wellleserved inay be so severe a punishment of reprehensible folly and misplaced trustfulness, let us hope for the sake of those connected by ties of blood and affeetion with Miye, Rachel's vic- tins that the threatened publication of her personal reminiscences will be averted.
