WATCH BREATHLESSLY TILL MEAL IS SERVED Pedestrians In Washington street early this morning held their breaths, stood on tip toe and were In suspense generally while a messenger boy rode along guiding a bicycle with one hand and carrying some one's breakfast on a tray In the other. But the boy paid no attention to any one. He didn't have the time. A glance aside or to lose his balance meant to lose the breakfast right In the middle of the street, or perhaps even his job also. The street w-as wet. having been sprinkled. Persona who witnessed the sight expected to see the bike, the boy, the china, the eggs and toast and cof fee go to the pavement In a mass at any second. . Then the boy reached his destination, dismounted calmly, still carrying the tray on one hand above his head. Washington street began breathing regularly again and resumed Its work the beginning of a new week. Breakfast had been served. Hammond's New Steam Schooner Fenwick Coming to River.

After spending the morning at his usual work, going over his mall and at tending to campaign business, the can didate played golf with Senator Jona than Bourne of Oregon, who says he came here to give Taft exercise on the links to keep him in condition. tntr It is probable that because of the Immense amount of preliminary work vet to be done before the races, which is scarcely six weeks away, meeting of either the full board of directors or the executive committee will be held each week, from now until the races are over. Professor (5. H Scrlbner, of Rosen dale. Wis., has consented to act as Judge of dairy cattle at the livestock exposition here and at the Salem state fair.
