‘ RUN My MUD. The rain Wednesday made the roads for the Westport ten mile road race anything but desirable, yet the events were run, notwithstanding the mud,. although there were only a few con- testants and a slim attendance. There were two events down on the program, one for olored contestants.’ The colored race was the first to start and at 2:40 o’clock the men were lined up in front of Kirk & Hall’s store and the word given. The boys started 011‘ at a rapied gait but soon settled down to business and made the ten miles in creditable time and finished in the fol- lowing order: First, Fred Thompson; second, Will Vancleet; third Elijah Spears. William Hamilton broke his pedal on the second lap near Sauga- tuck and was out of the race, Time 33320i- It was after 4 o’clock when the white contestants were started by C.‘ Ford Seeley’s pistol, and the limit men, Charles Mernsman‘o‘f Derby, and Eddie Bell, of Stamford, made off at a rapid gait. They were followed by M. S. Husted, Ansel Brooks, and M. J. Walsh in the order named. Husted took a tumble and retired from the race while Brooks made three attempts to get over the course, his bicycle giving out on each attempt. The scratch men, Gil Finch, of Stam- ford, and H. H. Leopold, of Bridgeport got off four minutes after the limit men. Finch was riding a great race and gaining rapidly upon the leaders, but on the second lap his bicycle slipped on the car tracks and he took a bad fall, cutting his arm and leg and badly bruising his hip. Notwithstanding his accident he re- mounted his wheel and came in fourth Adar a plucky exhibition of riding. Eda... .Bell. the creek midget rider of Stamford, would have undoubtedly won the first prize had he not lcst his way 'in Saugatuck and allowed Merns- man to beat him in. , The finish was as follows: First, Mernsman; second, Leopold; third, Walsh; fourth, Final”; fifth, Bell. Time, 32:35? Leo’jold also won time prize. Mike :rizes were excellent and the ”winners satisfied with their run In the mud. - The committee having the race in charge are deserving of praise for suc- sessfully carrying out the program with the elements against them.

If you will observe it carefully you will note that it fits like a glove (and a saddle should not). It presses the sen- sitive parts, causes sore- ness, stiffness and chaf‘ ing, and Has made cycl- ing to a certain extent injurious, because few could enjoy a long ride without fear of injury. All this is now changed. I Here is repre- sented the perfect saddle—the Christy Anatomical Saddle,Ir ,0, showing the pelvis as it rests on the pads. The \ Christy Anatomical Saddle is the only saddle that is built right. Made of metal, of light weight, cannot warp or change its shape, has pads that rest the entire body, does not press the sen- sitive parts, prevents stifineSS, and m a k e s cycling a pleasure.

West avenue last Wednesday even- ing. The contracting parties were Miss Julia Elizabeth Kellogg, daughter of Mrs. John O. Kellogg, (a sister of Miss Baird)-and Mr. Edward F. Bailey- of Brooklyn. The cultured and charming bride, has long been the chief teacher of music at her aunt’s Young Ladies Institute. In fact, it may without in- delicacy be stated that she has also. been her aunt’s “main stay,” and gen- eral assistant in directing and managing the details of this large educational in- stitution, and her departure, though in all respects joycus to an unwonted de~ gree, will be felt as a serious personal loss to her aunt and the school. The . FATAL PmsoNINo. Ate What Was Supposed to be Sweet Cicely Root. Amost distressing and fatal case of Belle Hapeman, wife of Elmore S. Hapeman, reciding in Waterbury. Mrs. H. with her three children went to spend the day with her parents in one of the suburbs of Waterbury, and while strolling about pulled up and ate what she supposed to be sweet cicely root. Subsequently she ate a hearty dinner and about an hour after became violent- ly ill, going into spasms and soon be- came unconscious and then expired. Upon investigation it was found that she ha eaten cowbane or water-hem- lock, an acute poison, in mistake for the cicely root, which it closely re- sembles, and was found growing side by side with each other and both be- happy groom is reputed to be a refined longing botanically to the genus parsley. and most worthy Christian gentleman, deseruing the rare prize of womanhcod he has won. The nuptual ceremony was performed by Rev. C. M. Selleck of St Paul’s, in the north parlor of Miss Baird’s West avenue residence. Rev. Dr. 'Lyman, the groom’s Brooklyn pastor was pres- ent and invoked the Divine blessing upon the united pair, at the conclusion of the Episcopal marriage service. There were more than a hundred inter- ested relatives and friends present from home and abroad, to witness the solemn and pleasing ceremonies, and to ex- tend their sincerest and hearti'est con- gratulations. Sweet and tender strains of music, from a‘welltrained orchestra, mingled their delights with the odors of myriad flowers, palms and ferns. An appetizing collation was served as a finis to the very delightful and ever,- way successful event. At seven, the bridal company left for New York, and after a brief tour, the happy pair will return to beautifully rural old Ridgefield, where the sum- mer’s honeymoon is to be passed. The bridal gifts were numerous, ex- ceedingly tasteful, and delicate and refined in character, and of intrinsic value. May the joyous pair, have their life lines cast in pleasant places and their’s ever be a goodly heritage. FREEMAN—FLYNN.
