Callum of the Mutual District Messerger Company for the release from the District reform school of Frank Eugene Barrows, a boy employed by the company, was continued this morning. Mr. Callum, as the next friend of the boy, claims that the little fellow was mora than sixteen years of age when committed to the school last month by Col. Cecil Clay, president of the board of trustees of the school; that Mrs. Alberta Evans, upon whose complaint the boy was committed, was not his legal guardian, parent or rela- tive, and that the law under which he was committed is unconstitutional. On the other hand, Superintendent Shallenberger of the reform schoo) contends that the law is constitutional; that Mrs. Evans is the guardian by appointment under the will of Eugene G. Barrows, the boy's deceased father, and that the boy was only commit- ted to the school after Col. Cecil Clay had heard sworn testimony which convine2d him that the commitment of the boy would be for the best interests of the little fellow. Yeaterday’s Testimony. The greater part of yesterday was de- voted to the hearing of testimony submit- ted by Messrs. Philip Walker and Freder- ick Stutz, counsel for Mr. Callum. The boy testified that he was born in January, ‘The second day of the six-day bicy::le race at Convention Hall opened this after- noon, with the interest of the spectators, however, maintained, end the cheers were given as heartily as ever. The contestants, with the experience of the riding yesterday, were dressed’ more warmly. Waller, the big rider, who is tied with Maddox for the lead, came dressed in a full blue sult, with a amail blue and white-striped cap, instead of his white suit, which made him conspicuous yesterday. Lawson, the “terrible Swede,” left off his blue tights and broke the uniform appear- ance of his suit by wearing gray tights. Schock discarded his. old black tights, trimmed with old gold, and wore a pair of blue. George Ball was dressed for the oc- casion and wore several pairs of tights. It was just a fraction over 2:25 when Starter Bald fired the gun for the start. There was the usual delay in getting the men up to the scratch, the spectators anx- iously awaiting the beginning. All the men appeared to be in excellent condition, suf- fering not in the least from the ride of yes- terday. ‘The men appeared to have all the fresh- ness of the start yesterday, and kept mov- ing at a lively rate. ‘Waller took the lead, followed by Mad- dox, with Hunter next, Ashinger, fourth; Lawson, fifth, and Forster sixth. Shock was lapped by one of the riders within a few minutes after the opening, but he man- aged to keep with the line. The lead kept in this way for nearly two miles. Score at 3 P.M. The standing of the men at 3 o'clock was as follows: Waller, 155 miles 7 laps; Mad- dox, 155 miles, 7 laps; Ashinger, 154 miles 9 laps; Lawson, 152 miles 8 laps; Hunter, 152 matte 7 laps; Forster, 150 miles 7 laps; Ball, 150 miles 7 laps, Chapple, 149 miles 8 laps; Schock, 142 miles 3 laps; Albert, 138 miles 6 laps. a WIFE-BEATING CONTAGIOUS.

With eleven starters, one man drop- ped out after riding a little more than one hour. At the start the riding was close, and the score of the men kept well to- gether. Lap after lap was gained at a time by the leaders, and soon the laps grew into miles, and by the close of the races for the day, at a little after 10 o'clock, the leading men were over seventeen miles from the end man. Waller, the “flying Dutchman,” his large frame being clad in white, and Harry Mad- dox of Asbury Park, N. J., kept in the lead, and when one tired of making the pace the other jumped to the lead. Occasionally the program would be varied by some of the other riders spurting; then there would be some lively moving among the leaders. Every time a spurt was made the audience cheered, and the band struck up a lively : figures of December 17 not havine reache I clerks in Colonel Clay's office.

Charley Ashinger, directly behind, steered away, but Albert Shock, the next man, went dcwn, and Chapple, one of the English riders, also fell. The wheels of all three suffered, and before the men were extri- ¢ated the, other riders had made a lap. None ‘of the men were seriously hurt. As soon as’ Lawson cleared the wreck he ran to the starting point and mounted another wheel. Meanwhile Maddox and Waller made a spurt and increased their lead. Lawson was second man before he fell, but by the time he resumed riding he was in fourth place.

The suit for divorce instituted by the Prince against his wife is now in progress better had he not been forced to leave the track. At the start he showed up in poor form, being troubled with a bad cold, but after he had been riding for some time, he regained his old riding condition, and kept well up in the lead. He was third man at the close of the afternoon, and could have easily kept that position. He wore a pair of thin, white cotton tights and stockings, and at the beginning of the evening the muscles of his legs became almost par- alyzed, rendering motion well nigh impossi- ble, except with the most excruciating pain. He left the track, and was given a good Tub down, with a good meal, and made to go back on the track. He was afraid that he could not keep up, but his friends urged him on, and he rode in good form for the remainder of the day, though he still suf- fered. There were plenty of “rooters” for him, and he was cheered on frequently. During the evening he made some wonder- ful spurts, and taking the lead, made the other riders pedal hard before catching him.
