Commencement of the Six Daya' Go at the Coliseum. THE THREE LEADERS ARZ TIED. A Large Crowd, Good Music and Great Enthusinsm—Old Sport Lck and Ashinger Badly Tralling. . At the Colisenm. The six-¢ay four-hour-a-day bicycls race was given the iitial sendoff at the Coli- seum lust ovening in the prasence of an as- semblage of 2,000 people. It promises to be a 0ig sucoess. After tho selection of William Kountz, Walt Morrs, James Josophi and Charies McGuirs as judges, J. W. Crawford, the referee, sounded tho gong and the nine gaudily arrayed bykers shot away upon their long aud wearisome pil- grimage. Ned Reading, the soldior, first took the lead, closely followed by Diungley, Kennedy, Gerwing, Hubbard, Hek, Wal- dron, Ashmger and Shill, and for the first fivo miles the pace was akiling one. At the end of this distance the procession slowed up for a mile or 80, when Shill avd Waldron, the two Omaha amateurs, indulged inaspicited spurt for the van, which Walaron captured after a hard struegle. The spurts between Dingley, Reading, Hubbard, Gerwing and Bennedy were of frequent occurrence, and very ex- citing, Dingley rarely failing to come out first best. Reaaing is riding in fine form and his backer feels sanguine of his taking either first or second place, The prevails inog opinion, however, is that Dingley is the best man in the out- fit, but ths is doubtful, as he has evinced a lack of staying powers in all his late races, and he has a couple of sleuth- hounds to contend with in the soldier and Gerwing. The latter rider is from Deuver, and he 18 a good one. He rides easily and with mucn grace, and in his spurts shows wonderful speed. The Coliseum, resounding with the music of the Tenth ward band, and brilliant in the glare of numerous electric jets, never presouted a more attractive ap- pearance. The race is evidently going to prove one of the greatest successes the build - ing has ever known, principally be cause the struggle is on the dead square, and the people realize that the best man is to win. Every spurt is greeted by tumultuous cheers, aud the audience at the final dash worked itself up to a most enthus- instic pitch. After six laps of tremenduous riding Dingley crossed the chalk line a lepgth ahead of Reading and two lengths ahead of Gerwing. ‘he balance of the riders were stretched irregular around the course. FoiloWing 18 the score: Miles. Laps. Dingley ) Shill Waldron. .o . B The racs will be resumed at 6:30 evening. The Kid and His Bride.

The quality of the sugar, however, wus us fine us that made dur- ing the regular season in Mareh. [Farmer Horatio Goddard of South Gib- son tapped thirty trees last week, and in four days. he said, he made enough syrup to sweeten the family’s pancakes for six weeks or more. Farmer.J. W.

He is sixty-eight years-eld and has farmed it al) his life. * I{o said he had never made maple sugar in January before, and he tappod twenty trees and boiled the sup into syrup just to see how it would seem to do that kind of work in winter. The sap flowed freely and he made nine gallons of syrup. Last Friday evening lienest Harding gave a maple sugar party at his home in Harford: It wag a jolly party, and it seemed as though spring had come.
