He was picked up by the police and landed in the city jail, with the charge of larceny from a building in the day time entered against him. On his person were found papers that in- Qicated that he has had an exceedingly checkered career. He had a recommendation from the proprietor of a museum fin St. Joseph to the effect that he had a_ digestion Yhat nails and lamp chimneys had tried in vain to impair, for he ate them with evi- dent relish and with no worse effects than many a man suffers from his fourth plece of American ple.

The day among the business thousands of peop! street for the cession. The old soldiers, members of societies and school children formed in line about Bayliss park and marched to the cemetery, where they found several hundred people who had preferred to take thelr own time about getting to the place of mesting. The parade was headed by a platoon of police, and John Lindt and K. A. Sackett, with their aides, followed. Then came Dalbey's band, fol- lowed in turn by the Dodge Light Guards, High school cadets, Abe Lincoln post, Grand Army of the Republic, Independent Order of 0dd ~ Fellows, Knights of Pythias, Junior Order of United American Mechanics, with a goat that attracted a good deal of attention from the fnitiated and uninitiated alike; Ancient Order of Hibernlans, Modern Wood- men of America and unions. Two boys' drum _corps and drum corps in which the Salvation army and the colored race seemed to be in the majority, furnished music. Several thousand school children formed a large part of the procession, the rear of which contained the singers of the day, the Methodiet c Woman's Relief corps and the rriages. Having arrived at the cemetery, the old soldiers broke ranks and proceeded to the decoration of graves, while the main column went to the speakers' stand and prepared to listen to the speaking. B. L. Shugart acted as master of ceremonles. Addresses were made by Rev. Dr. Askin and Rev. J. Indus Farley, both of them abounding in the spirit of patriotism and containing passages of great eloquence, The Methodist choir, fifty school children and Dalbey's band’ furnished the music. The exercises wound up with the firing of three volleys over the graves. . The Unfon Veteran Legion and the Ladies 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 carrlages drove up to the center of the grounds, filled 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 boquets 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 flag. 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 large 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-year-old child of Rev. G. W. Snyder. The flag and staff were 200 yards away, but from her position on the platform she loosed its 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 flag. 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, Bmmett Tinley and Hon, Lee S. Estelle, Mr. Tinley's address was i the nature of a dedicat'on. It was a brilliant and thought- ful production, delivered with the young ora- 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 an 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 and 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 rcar of guns and the din of battle once more with the vividness of reality, His peroration was a masterly sketch of the character of Abraham Lincoln. spite since were country’s in with as residences and busi line of with march were national was observed as a holiday men g Iy, and took up positions on the of viewing the pro- the purpose FOTHE] Special Notice.

The successful contestants for hon- ors were as follows: Fred Rau, Chicago man, time 57 minutes, ten seconds; second in, J. J. Dezenek, T. C. C.; third, A. Widen; fourth, F Barrett, University of Chi- cago; fifth, A. Jackson, L. Cyeling club. The race was for the first time run from a polnt 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 elghteen miles, and while it was a trifie longer and con- tained more bad turns than the Pullman course, it was the superior of the old route as to footing. The hour of starting was fixed at 10 ¢’clock, and long before the hour arrived the drives and footpaths of Lincoln park were thronged with spectators. Peo- 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, and over 300 contestants lined up when the hour arrived. The veteran wheeelman, N. 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 aver his frafll 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 scrateh, J. P. Bliss, Herbert Githens, George K. Karrett, H. R. Winship and A. E Lums- den, but of these only the three latter were on hand. As they left the mark amid lusty cheers and sped away after the leaders, car- rlages and bicycles swung into line and fol- lowed at a ratiling 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. There was but one bad place in the route, the crossing of the St. Paul railroad tracks, and therd some of the riders were badly de- layed, but the majority crossed free from the obstruction of passing trains and swinging gates. CROWDS INTERFERED GREATLY. As s00n as the last starter 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, the. drive was soon black with people. Ropes soon parted and police lines were broken through, and in the crush many people were 'knocked down and trampled upon, although none were serlously injured. The mounted police time and again charged the surging lines, and only after a vicious amount of clabbing was the track cleared. Soon disabled riders began to make their appearance, limping along down the course and shoving or carrying their broken steeds. The first man back was 0. Zimmerman of the Young Men's Chbristian assoclation, a relative Hf Zimmermag, the crack, and one of the riders of whomnuch was expected. He collided with a mounted policeman within a mile of the start and returned with a badly smashed wheel and a strained arm and temper. The Belmont avenue turn devel- oped Into a dangerous point In the course and many of the riders went down there. H. Van Sick- Three men, E. C. G. Touch, W. H. Gross | and Willlam Holme, met at that point and a terrible collision followed. Gross and Holmes were badly disabled. Many minor accidents resulted from punctured tires and buckled whoels, and during the hour's wait for the finish_a sorry looking procession of bruised and bleeding wheelmen limped past the Jjudges' stand and hunted up physicians. All along the route people were 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. Lindquist of the Lakeview club was coming Into the final stretch at a scorching pace, with half a dozen riders bunched around him. A sudden swerve threw Lindquist's wheel against two others. The rider was thrown from his machine and the wheel was wrecked. Lindquist was unable to rise from the twisted pile of spokes and tires and was aided by friends. He was taken to the tent in which his club had headquarters, and physicians who were called pronounced his injuries very serlous. 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 were beaten back by the frantic police, who were barely able to keep the way elear for the contestants. The leaders swept down tne 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 of Lake Michigan on the other. Artistically considered, the race was a success, for probably never before was a cycle race ended in a more beautiful spot. As Rau shot over the tape a howl of joy went up from his friends, and the crowd cheered in sympathy. Bezenek 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 casy, 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 side with congratulations. The time made was considered good, taking into consideration the Uff notheast wind against which the men had to pedal, and the race « Castorialssowdll adapted to children that 1 recommend it as superior to any prescription knowntome" I A, Ancmxs, M.

Peck's handicap was three minutes and Bain- bridge's two minutes. Fred Rau, the winner of the race, s but 16 years old. He ran with a seven and one-half minutes handicap and the race was his first on Bezenek, who finished second, s ! years old and has been riding but two year and he, like Rau, rides a Fowler machine.

Bainbridge, who was tied with Peck for the time prize, is a well known rider, having snown his heels in several races. His mount today was a Thistle. Much to the surprse of the spec- tators, Barret, Winship and Lumsden failed to show In the finish. Each heavily backed for the time prize, but all came in with the rearguard. HONORS STAY IN LINCOLN.

LINCOLN, May 30.—(Special to The Pee.) —The third annual road race of the Cap- ftal City Cycling club was run over tne ten-mile course from Lincoln to Haveloc and return this afternoon, an immense crowd of spectators gathering to witness the start and finish. The course was ex- actly ten miles, part of the road lying ove: paved streets, and the rest over a well packed country road. The entire course was comparatively le: there being two slight grades to overcome. The wind was strong in the faces of the riders for a greater part of the distance out, but any resistance it offered was equalized by the return trip. The start was made au Twenty-second and R streets, east on R to Thirty-third, thence north to the end of the street, east again to the road running directly north to University Pl then northeast to Havelock.

On the return Barnett and Mockett were pushing each other and it was neither man’s race for one mile past the turning Four miles out fraga the home post, however, Mockett collided with a carriage that attempted to cross a culvert ahead of him. He was thrown headlong and his leg badly skinned, one pedal of his wheel broken off and the front wheel warped.
