The cry was'taken up and ran down the line of enthusiastic spectators gath- ered on the Green and East avenue to witness the annual ten mile road race of the Alpha Wheel club, as W. A. Gun- ther shot across the finish line opposite the Congregational church, yesterday morning. The finish was a case of spurt, and as Gunther shot over the line he was fol- lowed iu quick succession by T. C. N eilsou of Portchester and R. F. Cotter of N orwalk. Gunther not only won the first prize but also won the time prize in 27 57 4-5. B. F. Cotter of Norwalk won second time prize. The races were started at 10:25, and w_e_re run in very good time, consider- ing the condition of the road. A large- crowd was in attendance and good' naturedly observed excellent order, and Chief Bradley and his officers were not-called upon to preserve order. . A most pleasing feature of the race was that none of the contestant were severely injured. One or two received falls but beyond a few scratches escaped injury. Gunther had a handicap of' two min- utes; Neilson, three and a half and Cotter two. A. E. Taylor of the Riverside wheel~ men, New York, gave out, W. P. Miles of New York lost his pedal, and W. N. Half of Norwalk took a lively tumble. He picked himself up, however, and finished well. As the 30 second men were spurting on the home stretch F. D. White of Lynbrook put out his foot and pushed G. A. Finch, another 30 second man, into the crowd. Finch will file a protest. R, M. Alexander of Hartford, who was given the Milburn race, butdid not win it, finished twenty-third, , 0. Had- field, the rightful winner of the Mil- burn race, leading him in. The lan- guage used by Alexander while riding along the _ course should prevent him from riding in races with gentlemen. The Stearns wheel was greatly in evi- dence during the race, Gunther and several other prize winners riding that Wheels The men finished in the following order and time: W. A. Gunther, So.

' . . NU IWANITS 1010mm. I The granting of a license to the Fair- view hotel in Rowayton, town of Nor- walk, has created- no small stir and now the State Law and Order league has taken a hand in the controversy. The county commissioners may be asked. to revoke the license, on the ground that it was obtained by false\ pretences. Secretary Thrasher has in- terested himself in the matter. On what the claim of false pretences is based does not seem‘plain. The up. plication was advertised in due form in one of the Norwalk papers, and some of those who are now creating the stir admit that they saw the application in print long before the license was grant- ed, yet they took no steeps towards fil- ing a remonstrauce. 1A Norwalk man said to-day to a Farmer representa- tive: “I was called upon by one of the present objectors, after the license was granted, and asked what could be done. I told him I did not see, except to keep still and not make a fool of himself. I asked him if he saw the advertisement of the application, and he replied that he did. Then why did you not file a remonstrance if you objected? I ask ed. He replied that he did nOt think the commissioners would grant a li- cense in a locality where all the people were opposed to it. I asked him to ex- plain how the commissioners were to know there was opposition unless they were made aware of the fact, and he failed to do so.” The claim of false pretenses does not seem to be one that has any foundation in fact. The commissioners are not obliged to go hunting for remon- chances—Bridgeport Farmer. The claim of “false pretenses” urged against the parties who have secured a hotel license at Rowayton openly and above board under all the forms of law, does not lie, and those only lie who so avow. It is notorious that hitherto li- quors have been sold at this hotel to guests and others, without alicense and the good people of Rowayton did not stop it. ' And now that reputable parties have taken the house and purpose to run it chiefly for a summer home for a high class of New York boarders, it would seem that the fight against them is inspired more bya thirst for notor- iety than any honest purpose to repress the liquor traffic. +.—__. EX-PRISONERS or WAR. Meet in Stamford and Elect Delegates to National Convention. The quarterly meeting of the Fair- field County Association of Union Ex- prisoners of War was held in Minor Post rooms, Stamford, Tuesday night. Norwalk and Bridgeport were repre- sented. The most important business of the meeting was the election of dele- gates and alternates to the national convention to be held in Annapolis in September. . I By the ratio of one delegate and al- ternate for every twenty-five members or a fraction over half thereof, the cou- vention was entitled to three, but it was decided to send only two delegates and tw’o alternates. Col. Henry Huss of Mt. Vernon nominated Comrade W. H. Ritch of Stamford as a delegate. The latter declined. Col. Hues was then proposed, but, he declining, the name of Capt. J. A. Fessenden was heard. The latter declinel on account of the fact that he was a prisoner only two minutes, and would rather see some other comade more deserving than he have the honor. Col. Huss was finally prevailed upon to accept. Comrade J. H. Smith, another Park City ex-prison- er, although absent, was elected a dele- gate. Comrades W. H. Ritch of Stam- ford and F. W. Perry of Norwalk were elected alternates. Three comrades, who act with the President and Score- tary as an executive committee, were appointed as follows: William Caddie, Norwalk; G. B. Christison, Stamford; Austin S. Nichols; Bridgeport. The President was given power to fill all vacancies. F. W. Perry stated that a comrade in a dying condition lay in a ward of the Soldiers’ Home at Noro- ton and offered a motion that, when death occurred, the charter be draped in mourning for thirty days following. Upon motion of Comrade Ritch it was decided to hold a picnic or general reunion at Roton Point on Labor Day, where the ex- prisoners and their fam- ilies could assemble and have an out- ng. Following the meeting, all sat down to a repast such as is only served in Minor Post rooms, after which there were speeches and vocal selections by a quartette. Meriden Bicycle Races. \ The Meriden Bicycle club is drrang- ing for a meet on the Fourth of July. Expensive prizes will be given. The program includes the following events: Mile novice. half mile handicap, mile open for the New Haven county cham- pionship, half mile open, mile handicap and mile tandem.

German zodlogical collection. The boa-constrictor is a non-poisonous snake, and kills its prey by squeezing it to death. A young boa had been kept in a. cage over a week with three sparrows without notice of the pres- ence of the bird's, nor did the latter manifest any fright of the rep- tile. One day, says the Philadelphia Record, the snake appeared to watch the inovementsof the birds, then pick- ing seeds off the floor of the cage, and slowly began to unwind from the branch of the tree on which it spent most of the time. Almost impercep- tibly the loops on. the tree disappeared, the body of the snake becoming more and more disengaged, but its. head still remaining at considerable distance from the floor. All of a sudden the for- ward part of the snakes- body shot downward with lightning rapidity, grasping one of the unsuspecting birds, not with the mouth, but with a rapid twistof the body, crushing it at . - the same time until quite lifeless. This was. done so quickly and noiselessly that the other birds never noticed the absence of the victim. The boa then re- turned to the tree above, and. after a little preparation of further pressing the bird and covering it with mucus it proceeded to swallow its prey with- out biting or chewing. As the boas al- ways take their food at night or in the dark, this spectacle was thought very curious. . ON A TOMBSTONE. A Human. Face Produced in a Miracu- lous Manner. In the Oak Hill cemetery at ,Stony Brook, L. 1., a large tombstone of mot- tled Italian marble bears a remarkable portrait of an average-sized human face. The picture is not the work of a. sculptor, nor has it been graven with the marble-cutters chisel; it is a natu- ral production, the outlines of the face being formed by a peculiar grouping of the clouded veins and dark spots char- acteristic of first-class imported stone. The remarkable peculiarity of this par- ticular stone has been known for two or three years, and throughout the length and breadth of Long Island it is referred to as “the miracle face.” Standing near, as one would in reading an epitaph or inspecting the grain and J polish of such a memorial shaft, the l outlines of the face cannot be traced, but at a distance of from thirty-five to fifty feet it is as plain as though done with an artist’s brush, the grouping of the spots, veins and waving lines com- bining to make not only a fair resem- blance toa face, but :a. complete por- trait, including hair, eyes, nose, cheeks, mouth, chin, etc. Its outlines are clearest, of course, when the shadows and light play properly upon it, butxat the distance mentioned, and in the proper direction, the portrait is plainly visible atall times. The face is on the back of the stone, and the eyes are so set as to appear to be looking down upon the grave of the person to whose memory the shaft was erected. AN' IMPORTANT OFFIC E. An Amusing Anecdote of the Edinburgh General Assembly. Among the many anecdotes relating to the celebrated Dr. Chalmers, an amusing one was once told by a gentle- man on his return from his first visit to Edinburgh. He had heard a great deal about the wonderful oratorical powers possessed by some of the members Of the general assembly, and, being anxious to hear and judge for himself, paid an early visit to it. Next to him, relates the Youth’s Companion, sat an elderly, hard-fea- tured, solemn-faced man, who was leaning with both hands on a heavy stick, which he eyed with great con- centration of gaze, scarcely‘ lifting his eyes from his abSOrbed contemplation of it. Soon the stranger’s attention was riveted upon the speaker who had opened the day’s discourse. The won- derful command of language which he possessed, combined with his elo- quence of style and the peculiarity of his manner, excited the listener’s curls osity to a great degree. “Can you tell me who is speaking now?” he asked, cagerly, turning to the sober-faced old man beside him. “Who’s speaking now?” echoed the old man, lifting his eyes from the con- templation of the stick to fix them in contemptuous amazement upon his in- terlocutor. “That, sir, is the great Docther Chawmers, and I’m holdin’ his stick!” How Contagion Is Carried. A physician in a. country village has lately given his medical brethren some additional instances of the ways in which contagious are spread that should make us all thoughtful. The only case of scarlet fever ever lost by this doctor was one in which the dis- ease was communicated by a. letter written by a mother (in whose family there were two cases of the fever) to a friend a. hundred miles away. The en- velope of the letter was given to a. child as a plaything. Another severe case of the fever was contracted bya little girl from two playmates who had what the doctor called “scarlet rash,” and still another was carried to a. fam- ily by a. carpenter, who lived eight miles away, whose little children were ailing with scarlatina, a disease that “the attending physician informed the father was not nearly as catching as scarlet fever.” . Their Signatures. In one of the fashionable “Kurorte” on the Rhine, reports a Writer in the Realm. he came across some queer eu- tries in the visitors’ book of the princi- pal hotel. One of the Paris members of the Rothschild family had signed “R. de Paris.” It so happened that Baron Oppenheim, the well-known Cologne banker, was the next arrival, signing “0. de ColOgne.’3 and immediately capped the above by ‘1' . _‘fl.‘.:‘-‘-‘ 0 WHAT IT MEANS.
