The “baby stare’’ is the latest Chicago inven*
tion. The young ladies have adopted it with
marked success. It is done by opening the eyes
to their foil capacity and staring at any unfor
tunate man who happens to sit opposite the
young lady in a street car. The stare is supposed
to represent complete and childlike innocence on
the part of the young lady, but there is also a
touch of idiocy in it. The man stared at general
ly wilts and seeks the seclusion of the car plat
form.

Yesterday was a gala day for the wheelmen.
They are still arriving on every train, and quite a
number are here now.
The roati nice was started at 9:17% in the morn
ing, C. H. Dillingham, of Columbus, and P. W.
Stone, of St. Louis, being the starters. A large
crowd had guthered at the Rankin house to see
•the start and finish. The men got off well to
gether. and in about a half hour a wheelman
dressed in black could be seen coining over the
hill on Tenth street, and by tlie aid of glasses
Stone was recognized us the head man. He
crossed the finish in 38 minutes and 50 seconds,
with Dillingham only % minute behind. A very
large crowd, probably 500 people, had gathered to
witness the finish.
RESULT OP THE RACKS.
The first event on the programme for the after
noon was a two mile bicycle handicap, tvliich
was won by P. W. Stone at the scratch, with C.
II. Dillingham, at 150 yards, second; time, 6:01.
The times for the half miles were as follows:
Half mile, 1:17; one mile, 2:53, one and one-
half mile, 3:29. The half mile is a southern
record.
The second event was the one mile bicycle
Georgia championship, with the following start
ers : R. A. Brantley and C. T. Guernsey, of Ma
con, Ga., and T. L. Ingram, of Columbus. The
race was a close one between Ingram and Guern
sey. was very exciting, Ingram winning in 3:02%,
with Guerenoey a good second. Ingram, after he
crossed the tape, took a very bad header, and
was unable to run in any of the other races,
which was much regretted, as it was hoped he
would try his speed in the three mile race.
The third event was a half mile handicap and
was won by C. H Dillingham in 2:2%, with R. H.
Polk, of Montgomery a good second.
The fourth event wns a hundred yard race.
There were eight starters, too many to start at
once, so four were run at a time. John B. Whit
lock, of Eufaula, Ala., won in 4:05, with Dilling
ham a few seconds ahead.
Next came the most exciting event of the day,
the three mile lap race. The race was won by
the following kind words about the Enwuihkr-
8un in the last issue of his valuable paper:
“In common with many of our readers we live
noticed the many improvements in the Columbus
Enquirer-Sun. Not only has its typographical
appearance been greatly changed, but mavked
improvements appear in the muke-up, the selec
tions, local topics and editorials- Its popularity
is increasing with its improved appearance.
The daily reaches us in the morning, bringing
the important telegraphic news fYom all parts of
the world eight hours in advance of all other
papers. It is the newspaper that all our citizens
should take. The weekly gives a complete sum
mary of all the great events transpiring at home
and abroad. In politics the Enquirer is soundly
democratic, fearless and conservative. Let our
friends examine the strong claims for public
patronage possessed by the Enquirer."

The Columbus and Rome railroad has very kind
ly placed a special Sunday morning passenger
train on the road for the accommodation of those
who would like to have a day of revt md recrea
tion. The road runs through a section of country
that abounds with scenery that is hardly sur
passed for its wild, romantic beauty. A trip over
the Pine mountain alone is worth double the
cost of a ticket. The train leaves the union
depot at 7:38 in the morning, and letumirtg
reaches the city at 7:07 in the evening.
TWO HEARTS AS ONE.
\ Brilliant Marrlinre at Hurfaliorn. Aliibmna.
Hurtsboro. Ala., July 1H.—At 8:30 last
night the Methodist church in this place
was the scene of a very happy event. The
oceasion was the marriage of Mr. Charles
H. Owens and Miss Lnulie N. Brown, both
of Hurtsboro. Long before the appointed
hour the church was tilled with their many
friends anxious to witness the ceremony,
which was to complete the happiness of
these two loving and trusting hearts.
Promptly at the appointed hour the
stirring ‘ tones of the organ peal
ing forth a beautiftil wedding
march performed most beautifully by the
bride’s sister, Miss Gatra Brown. At that
moment the bride and groom passed up the
centre isle of the church and took their
stand before the altar, which was most
beautifully decorated with choice and
beautiful flowers. The ceremony was
performed by Rev. D. C. Cook in a very
impressive manner. After the ceremony the
bridal partv, with many relatives and
friends, gathered at the residence of the
bride’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. E. N. Brown,
where they received their many friends.
About 10 p. m. the quests were invited to
partake of a bountiful repast. The tables
were indeed loaded down with everything
which could tempt the most f§uatidious v epi-
cure. Never has it been your correspon
dent’s pleasure to witness a more inviting
ing and the statement that a number of
them had assembled to witness the game,
is a base misrepresentation.
Now, if they bad been anxious to play
us a game, why did they not appoint some
other day besides Saturday, which every
sensible man knows is the busiest day of
the week, and why did they not notify us
in the proper way? , . .
Answer us, gentlemen, by lettmg us
know when you will be up and we will
meet you in full force and compel you to
retract what you have said by a score that
will even surprise the natives of Sulphur
Springs.

Outdoing Mngkiiui Kill/-
In California, when the diggings were
paying well, Signor Blitz visited a gulch
and before a large audience exhibited his
legerdemain. During the performance he
took out his handkerchief, threw it into
the air and caught it again, when he took
a $20 piece out of it, asking the boys if
they could do that. Old Pete, a ‘ forty-
niner,” who had never changed his mining
shirt since he came into the diggings, im
mediately went upon the platform, took
off his shirt and dipped the sleeve of it into
a bucket of water, held it up and wrung
out $39 50 in gold dust, including fifteen
pounds of subsoil. Blitz took the first
clerk in one of the departments, is very sick, and j Stone in 9:57% and scoring twenty-four points,
with J. A. Lewis a good second, scoring eighteen
points.
The trick and fancy riding was very interesting,
the judges deciding in favor of C. H. Dillingham
as best and J. B. Whitlock, of Eufaula, as second.
The half mile handicap was won by John A.
Joseph from 150 yards in 1:22%, J. A. Lewis
second from scratch, making the half mile in
1:24. This dosed the programme.
Tin: RACES TO-DAY.
The most inte'eating programme will take
place to-day. So many requests had been made
for professional races, the management tele
graphed for Messrs. Polhill and Horton, of Ma
con. They arrived yesterday morning and will
race this evening. Polhill is known over the
whole south, having won the professional south
ern championship. Horton has challenged him
to run this evening, and one of the most inter
esting races will !>e the one mile southerr pro
fessional championship. The following is the
programme for to-day:
At 9 a. in., headed by a brass band, the entire
body of wheelmen leave the Rankin House, ar
riving at the foot of Wynn’s hill at 9:15. The hill
climbing contest will start at 9:30. Doubtless
large crowds will be out to see this novel and in
teresting contest. Room will be kept along the
sides, at the top and foot ofthe hill lor vehicles,
from the tone of the letter it is inferred that he is
seriously ill. The letter also states that he is
comfortably located in the Providence hospital,
where he receives the best nursing and medical
attention to be had in the city, and his friends
see that he is fornished with anything he may
desire. We bope he may speedily recover.
