ami I have been on more than half a dozen." Work was continued on np through yesterday morning, and the other riders were no less enthusiastic in their praise. Heforc the races commenced, the universal verdict was: "Depend upon it; if anybody falls, or for any other reason I fails to do his best, he can't throw it oil' on the track." The work of tha committee on publicity and promotion was also done in a thorough manner. Messrs. W. li. Moore and S. L. Hobbs had the principal direction of this work ; but all the members of the association gave all the assistance in their power. Lithographs and small bills were distributed everywhere, the newspapers in adjourning towns gave pleasant notices, and different members trirw nr* mwl down the railroads. All the wheelmen all about were interested, and they were hero with their friends and acquaintances from everywhere. York county was particularly well represented. The people tirst commenced coming in from the country during yesterday morning by private conveyance. All the incoming trains brought big crowds, and by noon the streets, stores and hotels presented the appearance of a circus day, with the exception that the visitors generally, ladies and gentlemen, constituted a thoroughly genteel aggregation?one calculated to excite admiration and pride. The day's programme opened with a fireman's parade and a contest between the Queen City, Rose Hunter and Arlington (colored) reels. Two heats were run. Distances were not measured in either case. The three companies stationed themselves at approximately even distance from hydrants, and at the sound of the fire alarm ran for it. A bystander got mixed up in the hose of the Rose Hunter company and the boj*s were knocked out. The work of the Queen City's and Arlington was admirable. Xo etlbrt was made to secure absolutely accurate observation, and opinions ditl'er as to which threw water first. They were very close together, but the weignt 01 testimony was in favor of the Arlingtons. In the second contest the Hose Hunters got there first with water; but it was without a nozzle. The Queen Citys and Arlingtons were again close together. It looked like a tie and probably was. The next interesting feature of the programme was the military parade on bicycles. The company was composed of about 30 boys and girls, in costume, with elaborately decorated wheels and under command of Mr. \V. B.Moore. The parade passed through the streets to the grounds, executing in tine style military movements, such as forming twos, fours, etc. The parade ended at the racing park with a circuit of the track, and the really meritorious work of the riders won considerable applause. In the programme, of course, could only be published the list of riders in accordance with applications. Those who presented themselves at the tape during the daj* were as follows: Fred Schadc, Hcrndon, Va. Pitman, Georgetown, D. C. Lee Counselinan Georgetown, I), C. R. V. Connerat, Savannah, Ga. I).

Entires, Schade, Pitman, Connerat, Lewis, Butts and others. Shade won in 5.42; Butts, second ; Connerat, third. Seventh race?Pursuit. Entries two teams?Shade, Pitman and Counselman against Butts, Ross and Shuford. Under the terms of the race, the teams were to start at opposite sides of the track and continue until one overtook the other. The North Carolina team gave it up on the 3d lap leaving the District of Columbia team the winner. The riding of the visting amateurs, especially those from the north and several from Charlotte, was capital; but there was nothing in the faster races that was of especial interest. Schade is a flyer, and won in every race except the handi...... I, lift ullou-oil to fro llV (Il'fVulll. V?|I, M4.IW. - Counsel man is another unusually swift rider, and pretty nearly, if not quite, a match for Schadc. ilis wheel is geared at !M>, something unusually high, and he has a record of 25 miles in 52 minutes. The greatest interest, of course, centered in the county championship race. On account of the incident at Clover last fall, it was believed that Neil and Ardrey were evenly matched, and each laul Ins partisans. There was considerable beting during the day; but the Ardrey money was rather too bold, and the bets were for small amounts. Ardrey took the lead from the start, Xeill following. The distance varied from 5 to 25 feet, Ardrey keeping the lead all the while. Jloth riders seemed to be doing their best. <>n the homestretch of the last quarter, Ooza and Meaeham sprinted to the front, leaving Neill fourth. The time of the race was not creditably fast, and it is but fair to both Neill and Ardrey to say that neither was in good condition physically. The most exciting race of the evening was the one-fourth mile for bovs. Young Hryson of Clover left Ids competitors easily, and at the finish looked as if he was only getting fairly started. The time 57 seconds compared favorably with Schade's quarter of a mile in 55. Just what the gate receipts were the reporter was unable to learn definitely ; but the understanding was that they amounted no nearly $4,00, indicating an attendance of about 1,ihmi people. Messrs. 10. 10. I'oag, Frost Torrence and M. L. Smith served as judges, and A. M. Aiken, Dr. W. It. Dupre and Charles Dilling as time-keepers. The llethel hand dispensed splendid music during the day and especially during the races. The grand stand was decorated with the national colors, and "Dixie" was greeted with unusual applause.

With the aid of Senator Tillman the ex-governor has been appointed an assistant adjutant general, with the rank of captain. His appointment was sent to the senate last Thursday, but there was a mistake in the printing of his name, hence his South Carolina friends did not recognize nun in nis new military title, lie arrived here today ami was in consultation with Senator Tillman. The ex-governor comes from a military family and he will remain here until lie receives his commission. Our State Troops. The record at the war department at Washington on Sunday morning showed that (iM.'i men had been mustered into the service, and that 31 officers had been sworn in. This included the following commands : The Abbeville Volunteers, the Newberry Guards, the Lee Light Infantry, the Catawba Rifles, the Greenville Guards, the Johnson Rifles, of Union, the Anderson Volunteers, and the Darlington Guards. This does not include the Butler Guards, of Greenville, sworn in Sunday, and this company will run the list up to 700 privates, just one-half of the number called for. The companies which have not yet gotten up their full quotas are Edisto Rifles, of Orangeburg; the Bamberg Guards; the Governor's Gurds, of Columbia; the Manning Guards; the Richland Volunteers, of Columbia; the Sumter Light Infantry, the Palmetto Rifles, of Aiken, and the Charleston Battery. The Edisto Rifles, the Sumter Light Infantry, the Riclilaud Volunteers and the Charleston Battery have more nearly reached their quotas than the other commands. All of the companies which are short of men have recruiting officers in all parts of the state, and if there are any volunteers in the state who want to get into the service, there is no reason in the world why they should not get a place in the front, there is room for all who apply ; the examining physician has the application blanks. ? The Associated Tress dispatches published Monday morning, tell of an exciting incident that occurred oil Havana harbor last Saturday afternoon. All the heavier American warships being away, the harbor is only guarded by light armed vessels. Suddenly from the harbor eutrauce came puftine two warships, one of which was recog ' nized as the Alfonso XII, and the other as the gunboat Legazpi, both of which were known to be bottled up in the harbor. The two ships made out as il they contemplated a dash for the open sea. The American vessels immediately gave chase. The Spaniards continued on, hugging the shore for a distance of about five miles. Then they turned back and opened ou the Americans. Some hot fighting followed, and [several shells burst about the Alfonso All, carrying away a part 01 ner riggiug. The American vessels were not injured, all the Spanish shots going wide. It turned out that the Spaniards were only tryiug to inveigle the light American ships under the heavy guns of Morro; but the Americuns had been caught in that trap once, and decliued to bite again. blacksbuho'buuuet. Condition of tlie Crops?The Bazaar a Success?To Visit the Soldier Boys. Correspondence of the Yorkville Enquirer. Blaoksburg, May 16.?'The condition of the crops in this section is about as follows: A great deal of cotton has been planted, and there is generally a very good "stand." Early planted corn did not come up so well on account of cool < weather and a beating rain; but that planted later makes a very good showing. The oats crop looks fairly well, but is needing rain badly. Wheat never looked better, and if nothing happens to it, an unusually large crop will be harvested in our township, which will, of course, be a welcome relief to the farmers, considering the present high price of that important cereal. The bazaar given by the Ladies' Guild of the Episcopal church, in Cherokee Inn hall, on the 6th instant, notice of which was given in Tub Enquirer of the 4th, was a very gratifying success, both for its social and financial features. The hall, which was tastefully decorated with festal and national colors, was well tilled with an excellent and animated company, there was an intelligent instrumental music, a tish pond which delighted the children, elegant refreshments for all, and the sum realized was nearly $50. Superintendent A. Tripp, of the O. It. A C. road, with his family, consisting of Mrs. Tripp, her mother, Mrs. Weir, and Miss Annie Weir, will go to the soldiers camp at Columbia on Wednesday for the purpose of visiting his son, Mr. John Tripp, who is a member of the Catawba Rilles. Mrs. M. E. Deal will accompany them, and she will go to visit her son, Agustus M. Deal, who is also a member of the company. They will carry with them good wishes from the many friends of both families to the boys for tiieir good health and safe return home. Thursday last, the members of the Baptist Sunday school, took for a picnic day. They went to that cool, delightful retreat on Broad river, near the O. R. <fc C. branch road to GafTney, known as Goat Island. It is needless to say that the day, which was fine, was largely enjoyed by all. w. a. WHAT DOES IT MEAN? s?I<1 That Europe Is Looking For Universal War. Just what it means we confess we do not know. There is something behind it all that is not clear to the uninitiated. Many of the newspapers, at home and abroad, insist that France is rather too friendly with Spain. The state department, through the Associated Press, is seeking to make a diflereut impression. There are occuring numerous circumstauces which are calculated to raise grave doubts as to just how matters stand. Other articles in this issue are calculated to give an idea of the uncertainty of the situation, and the following Washington dispatch to the St. Louis Globe-Democrat, purporting to be an interview with a European diplomat, may be taken for what it is worth : "It may be safe to predict that we are near a uuiversal war, uoless diplomacy prevents it. You see, Europe has been looking for it for a loug while, and every power has been preparing to meet it. Russia is always ready, and we may say the same thing of England. The latter would have provoked war over the Turkish troubles had she won the United States for an ally. Now, in my opinion, as an individual, the {time for this war is very mm I- mid it, nvnv come sooner than you think. "It will come by an attempt to stop the American-Spanish war, as soon as the hitter's great fleet meets the American squadrons. England, of course, will not join the other powers iu their attempt further than, I may say, the expression of her sympathy, which will amount to nothing. England wants the opportunity to be on the side of the United States, so that when disputes shall arise she will engage in a war for which she has been preparing for a long while. "The war will surely come, because the United States will not give up lighting Spain until the resolutions of congress are carried through. The powers don't iulend to allow the war now on to continue, and even if the United States should consent to declare a truce, there will be a disagreement about the terms for peace. "You may rely upon what I say, that universal war will come in this way. Austria, France and Italy will, for a while, remain on the fence, until P^uglaud openly sides with the United States, in which instance Russia will join Austria and Germany the the United States. "You can rest assured that these plans are now under consideration uy the cabinets, and that the United Slates administration knows it as well as England does; and that is one of the reasons the Lafayette was set free, and why yon will hear nothing about the French oflicial holding dispatches at St. l'ierre, Martinique, intended for the government here, while the Spanis.h ships were coaling there." ? ? - - ? ? Later advices are to the effect that the attempt to land two companies of the First infantry, under Captain Dorst, from the (iussic, at Havana, t lust Friday, proved a failure. One company of infantry waded ashore and had a sharp light with the Spaniards, putting them to flight. But > there were ouly a few insurgeuts at the rendezvous, and the Spaniards were afterward reinforced in such large ; numbers that Captain Dorst deemed it advisable to re-embark and go back to Key West. He reached there Sunday morning. He and his men were thoroughly disgusted. Had they been assisted by a warship, there would j have been very little trouble in effecting a landing ; but now Captain Dorst seems to think that a successful landing with a small force will be a difficult undertaking. ? The navy department gave out another report from Dewy last Sunday. It was dated at Cavite, May 13, and read as follows : "Maintaining a i-i?i?1_. SlI IUl UIUVKUUC j 1CIUUU IU Utile?c Limi rebels are heuiming in city by land, but have made no demonstration. Scarcely provisions in Manila; probable that the Spanish government will be obliged to surrender soon. Can take Manila at any moment. Climate hot and moist. On May 12th captured guuboat Callao, attempting to run blockade. Have plenty of a coal. One British, one French, two German one Japanese vessel here observing." ? Dewey's dispatch boat, McCullough, arrived at Hong Kong, on Sunday, aud among other thiugs told of the recent capture of the Spanish gunboat Callao, just arrived from the Caroline islands. The Callao had not heard of the commencement of the war. When she appeared off Manila, one of the American warships fired a shot across her bow and signalled a demand for her surreuder. She refused. Then a shot was sent directly at her, and she hauled down her flag. This leaves only one Spanish gunboat at large iu Philippine waters. MERE-MENTION. It is reported that the Spanish killed at Cienfucgos the other day numbered 400. Reports from Havana, by way of Key West, are to the etreet that the reeoncentrados in the city are dying by the hundreds. Ensign Bagley whs buried at Raleigh last Wednesday.

EARLY last August, the MONARCH CYCLE COMPANY manufacturers of the Monarch and Defiance Bicycles made an estimate as to how many "Defiance" wheels would he necessary to meet the demands for the best medium price on the market and concluded that 24,000, basing their calculations on the demand for the season then drawing to a close, would be sufficient, and laid in the necessary material for making them and started to work. The series included six models?three for gentlemen and three for ladies as follows: A gents and ladies' Defiance at 850, another pair at 840 and a third pair at 8't"). As soon as the traderiders?saw the wheels it went wild, and by May 1, the whole output had been sold. We only succeeded in placing six of these wheels and our customers are all delighted. No more can now be made for the '08 trade. THE MONARCH PEOPLE. We believe, are the most enterprising and liberal in the bicycle trade, and have determined to give those who failed to get a Defiance wheel something equally as good, if not better, for the same money, and, therefore, have notified us that thoy still have in stock a limited number of 1807 875 Monarchs which they will fit with 1808 tires and saddles and authorize us to sell theni at the low price of 829.50. There is no better value on the market than these wheels. Every one of them is backed by a liberal guarantee. These wheels will be furnished in 22, 24 and and 26-inch frame, for men, and 20 and 22 for ladies. You can't do better unless you buy a 1898 Monarch and they are absolutely the best on the market with every up-to-date feature. RIDE A MONARCH AND KEEP IN FRONT. If a Monarch rider does not keep in front it is not the fault of the wheel as it is the staunchest, most durable and lightest running wheel made. No rider ever fails on account of a break down at a critical moment?or any other. Monarchs stand up and keep out of the repair shop. GRIST COUSINS. Under the Old Masonic Hall.
