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.

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.

dale. Wis., has consented to act as
Judge of dairy cattle at the livestock
exposition here and at the Salem state
fair. He has officiated In a most able
manner In this capacity In former state
fairs and exhibitions In the northwest.

selves as most fortunate In securing
his service on account of the heavy de
mands made upon his time in various
parts of the country.
