jacks of tbe League were on hand In full
force, and while they had nothing bill
compliments to bestow upon tlie Denver.
Ilex for their liberal hospitality, the ell
mate of the Colorado city wax cuxsed at
loud and deep. Tin- peculiarly dry air of
Deliver gave the Eastern riders some dif¬
ficulty in breathing, parching their
throats, and giving them frequent attacks
of dizziness, of course rhllug under these
conditions they were at a sad disadvan¬
tage, minimising their chances of mak¬
ing a better showing, particularly ln the
distance rums, where endurance and pow
er counted for more Ihun skill In pedal¬
ling.
Olio Edgier, the young Californian from
San Jose, captured the bulk of the hon¬
ors, taking four of the llrsl prizes In the
• 'lass It events. He was acclimated, arid
while nothing can he said to take lhe edge
off Ills glory, he would certainly have
been given a suffer race had the m« n
from th« other Slates not been affected
by climatic changes. Sleigh r will MII-

whether lie will be able to repeat the gat

The local committee of Ihe Awbury

on Harry Maddox to uphold Che dignity
of tlie town in tlmUl-ass H evep4«8. He won
some notable races last season on the n u
ttonal circuit, and on Ms recent trip
through Mexico he won a big list of
pij» s. Maddox Is regarded by the town-
people of Asbury t’ark, where he lives in
somewhat the same manner as A. A.
Zimmerman was regarded while In I he

from Ills recent racing sojourn In
he was mot at the depot by a brass hand
and escorted to his home by an enthusias¬

Norfolk Citizen* Have It Under
Consideration.
15y Southern Associated Press.
Norfolk, Va„ June 22.-The propo-
s/Joh I ' r, ' M1 ' 1 ' nt Spencer , of the
Southern rn Hallway, wax presented to
a "P eela ' committee of Council to.
n,Kht , * There were preHent a commit-
t ef; from the Chamber of Commerce,
Kunlm-sa Men'* AKBOclation, Cotton
Exchange, and Wholesale Grocers As*
soolation. The president of the se¬
lect committee of Council J. L. Win¬
ston, presided. Mr. Spencer asks that
Hu* river front property, valued at
$125,000, be leased to him for ninety-
nine years for $500 a year, renewable.
That he be allowed to close certain
streets running thereto, and that the
company shall pay no tax on said
leased property, He asks that an-
swer be given by July 15.
The proposition was discussed foi
more than two hours with great en
thuslasm. A prominent citizen said
In an address that If the matter was
put to a vote as to whether the city
should give the road the property that
not one hundred people could be found
to vote no.
After the special committee of the
Council had retired the business men
called Mr. Caldwell Hardy, cashier
of the Norfolk National Bank, to the
chair, and adopted a resolution fa¬
voring the request, providing there
shall be no discrimination against
Norfolk In the matter of passenget
ami freight rales and facilities. Nor¬
folk has for a long time hoped that
the Southern could be Induced to come
to Norfolk. It will open up a section
rich in agricultural and manufactur¬
ing industries which Norfolk has nev.
er been abb- to reach. Prominent of¬
ficials of the O. and O. road have
been in the city today, and it is said
that strong efforts have been made to
git the Southern to make Newport
News its terminus. It Is said that
some time ago Mr. Spencer visited
Newport News. He then cnrne to Nor¬
folk and decided to come here as the
route south is easy, and if necessary
a line can bo constructed to Raleigh,

HAMBURG IN
GALA ATTIRE.
I’ll BERING THEMSELVES HOARSE
FOR THE EMPEROR.
THE CANAL ONE OF THE VICTORIES
OF PEACE.
Some of the Fireworks Spoiled by
the Rain.
By Southern Associated Press.
Hamburg, .Tune 19.—Tlie principal
event of todny was the arrival of the
Kaiser and Imperial family. From
noon to within a half hour of the arri¬
val, the streets were filled with car¬
riages and cavalcades taking the royal
guests to receive their Imperial chief.
By 3 o’clock all had been arrang¬
ed at the station. The Kings of Saxony
and Wurtemberg, the prince regent of
Bavaria and the Grand I bike of Baden,
with their staffs and ministers, took their
places on the platform at the station-
The streets were crowded with throngs
of people all eager to see the Kaiser.
All vehicle traffic was stopped in the
principal streets of the town this after¬
noon . Immense crowds of people tra¬
versed the thoroughfares, but there was
no disorder. An elaborate luncheon
was given in the Tliiergarten this af¬
ternoon, which was partaken of by
twelve guests, ineluding the King of
'Wurtemberg and many other royal and
princely personages. Chancellor Hohcn-
lolio and a number of ministers and son-
at firs. entered
After luncheon the guests car¬
riages and at 1:15 p. m., drove to the
Elbe, where they embarked on a steam¬
er and made a round of the harbor.
They were loudly eliegred. The party
returned at 2:30 p. m. to await the ar¬
rival of the Kaiser.
The Kaiser arrived at 4:15 at the
Daminflior station, accompanied by a
numerous retinue. A company of fhe
Hamburg regiment with band and ban¬
ners. rendered military honors at the
station where also the entire senate and
burgomasters of the republic and Hans
Gity. of Hamburg, were in attendance.
After tlm reception at the station the
company was driven in open state car-
"bigex through the principal streets of
Hamhurg. All of the German rulers,
with the exception, of tin- Kaiser, drove
through the principal streets to the har¬
bor, where thov viewed the assemble I
war ships. They were continually
elie-red by the people who lined the
route.
The Emperor, in the uniform of the
Cuirassier, and wearing ribbons and
deeoration of Black Eagle, drove through
the city in an open carriage with nut-
riders. The Imperial carriage was pro¬
ceeded by a section of the Wandesbcok
Hussars, the remainder of which fol¬
lowed a second carriage containing the
Imperial princes. Following these onv-
riages were a number of vehicles in the
Emperor's suite. His Ala.jest; W.'l s
greeted with tremendous cheering.
'Hie German kings did not follow tbe
Emperor, but drove to their respective
quarters after having visited the bar-
bor.
At about half past <i o’clock a ban¬
quet commenced in the hanquetting hall
which still is unfurnished, of the newly
built Bathhause, Which was temporarily
decorated today.
At the banquet, after the toasts, the
burgomaster, Dr. Lehmann, attired
in a black gown with white ruffles,
arose and addressed the Emperor and
the other sovereigns. He made a long
deliberate speech, keeping the Emper¬
or and kings standing with their
glasses in their hands, He wound
up his talk by declaring that the C(U
ha! was the greatest German enter¬
prise and the occasion of its opening
the most notable event in the history
of Hamburg. The city had never be¬
fore seen such an illustrious assom-
lily as were now its guests, He then
drank to the German Emperor and the
German princes.
The Emperor returned thanks in an
uncommonly guarded manner. Hia
roply was mild and careful, and of
comparative shortness, He said he
did not presume to accept the wcl-
come which it was patent was not ar-
tifieial. but spontaneous, for himself,
but which was for all the German
sovereigns surrounding him. The ca¬
nal was a great work of peace. “There
are," he added, “seas that divide and
seas that unite. This canal unites
two great seas for commercial and de¬
fensive purposes.” At this instant
the iron-clad power of United Europe,
lying in Kiel harbor, was the besi
self-evident proof of granted peace.
A heavy thunder storm -interrupted
the outdoor festivities at 9 o’clock
but its cessation allowed them to ba
resumed at 10 o’clock. The Emperor
and his kingly guests boarded the
Kaiser Adler at 11 o’clock, and steam¬
