Tbe Doctor is sportsman with all a trne sports- man a inatiuet, and tbe brutality of destroying a bird when tilled with the germs of its rouug appealed two strongly to his conscience to per mit hint to azain indnize in tne ao-callvd sosrt ot spring shooting.

The day is set approaching wheu the advocates of Us abolition br law ot apring shooting will find taemsalree victorious in the long figbt against heavy odds, which tbey bare been waging for years.

They will proceed thence to Evans-ton at an easy pace, and there take dinner, returning toward evening to prepare' for the excitement of the following day. A programme of runs in ths day time and parades and races st night bas been arranged by tbs committee in chargs. Tbe opening srent of ths tournament, as far as tbs amateurs are concerned, will be a lantern parade, leaving the' Exposition Building at 7 o'clock sharp on Monday.

After a run of about three miles all bands will rsturo to tbe building to witness or take part in tbs races set for that evening. At the Exposition, erer sines tbs centennial ceremonies closed, all has been bustle and preparation. Two of the finest tracks erer laid are being prepared, one for tbs professionals, on which tbe six-day struggle will occur, and ons for tns amateur srsnts. inese will bs completed by Tnesday. Tbs numerous exhibitors, too.

Bert Myers, of Peoria, is another good man. Ho baa ridden farther in a day than any other amatenr in this country; and is belie red to do mile well inside of 2:40.

Bryson Burroughs, of Cincinnati, has entered for all tbs amateur events open to him.

Albert Schock, the Chicago represeutttirs, bas ridden 1,404 miles in six dare, a distance no other rider bss approached. He has been training carefully for tnewjaat six weeks.

liedding, tne umana soldier, win probably excite considerable curiosity. He is a oompar-etivelr new rider, but can hold hia own with any of tbe others. Some of tbs officers and men of hia regiment will accompany him to Chicago; indeed, the Omaha delegation seems likely to be lsrger than any other. PULLMAN ROAD RACE.

Dr. Barrows Speaks oai Saaaael Adams, trie ltomeer at laKtepeSMieneai. Tbs second lsefare of tbs third series of tns Chicago Manual Training School waa delivered yesterday morning at 10:30 o'clock befsrs Urge audience at Central Kuaie HalL Ths subject was "Samuel Adams: His Place in tbs Origin and Development of tbs American Commonwealth," and ths lecturer waa tbs Eev. Dr. John Henry Barrows.

In his lecture Dr. Barrows said in snbstanes: At ths outbreak of ths revolution Governor Gage, of Mtssaennsetts, promised a pardon to all persons who should forthwith lay down arms, exoepting only Samuel Adams snd John Hancock. Tbs offsnses of thess men were too fiagitons to admit of any other consideration than eondign punishment Most Americans, learning their history front tbs briof school books, hars little knowledge of Samuel Adams, exoepting this: that bs was exempted from pardon, snd that bs was a leader in forming tbs public sentiment of Boston snd Hassachnsstts. Tns latest historical study, however, shows bim ss ths prims mover in ths revolution, ths pioneer of independence. Twenty-four years ago Will-lam V.

Wells, of Boston, wrots his slaborats three-volume biography of Samuel Adams, which opened the minds of multitudes. Mors recently Professor Hosmer'e book, in the series of "American Statesmen," has presented to a larger constituency tbe true plaos of this half-forgotten figure, Hs says that "so far as ths genesis of America is concerned bamust Adams, rather than Washington, should be-call sd tbs Father of bis Country." 8snator Hoar calls bim ths greatest of American statssmsn in ths soundness and snrsness of bis opinion. Massachusetts has sent his status to Washington, there to represent, with Gov. ernor Winthrop. tits best fruitage of the old Puritan faith.

It was hs who roused and organised tbe publio sentiment which resulted in American independenesi In ths light of eon-temporary evidence, whether friendly or hostile. his figure looms np in simost souiary mejesrv. Ths Tories christened the revolution as "ain Adams' conspiracy." Governor Hutchinson called bim "tne chief inoendiary in his Majesty's domiuiooa." Samuel Adams was born in Boston in' bis father waa Captain Samuel Adims, a deacon in the old South Cbnreh, and a member of tbe Massachusetts Assembly- from his father hs inherited a great skill in ths manage ment of men. and from bis mother a moral earnestness tnat might bare driven him a the pulpit had not fsmily misfortunes interfered and prevented. When taking his Master's Degree at Harvard in 1744, he chose for bis thesis this question: "Whether It be right to resist the bu pre tne Magistrate 11 tne iximmon- wsaith eananot otherwise be saved?"

Ths ohier arena of his mnnenoe wss tbs sown meeting He waa ths greatest master and manager of the town meeting that ever lived. Tbe country looked to Boston for guidance, and Boston turned instinctively to Samuel Adams.

Aa a speaker he was eclipsed in brilliancy by James Otis and by Patrick Henry, but be wielded a sinewy logic and spoke wua a clsar-ness and directness that givs him great power. $0 other man was equally trusted by tbs peo- pie and squally hated by the King's party- He persuaded Massachusetts to sign a league and covenant not to consume imported goods wnen the British Parliament burdened tbe colonies with mnjust Imposts. It was he who gave ths signal for tho Boston tea party; it was hs who defeated the sensms of ths Governor to pre rent Massachusetts from sending delegates to the) Continental Congress in 1774; it waa ho who awed Governor Hutchinson into sending sway ths British regiments from Boston in 1770, thereby postponing the revolution flvs years nntd the people were ready. Hs showed great boldness and practical wisdum. poshing other men to the front and seeking neither gain nor fame for himself, For nine years bs was in ths General Court of Msasachusetts, and annually made the clerk of that bodv, where hs wielded ths pen of ths Stats in its eoafrevsrsies with ths royal Governors.

Hs drafts ths Boston instructions in 1764, ths first bold protest sgainst British taxation. Hs is tns oracls of the town meetinga. lit writes ths Assembly's addresses to the British Ministry; he established ths committees of inter-colonial correspondence whereby the national sentiment was formed. All bis measure, hars reference to the foreseen contingency oi independence, whi others looked every whither, bis eye was turned to the north star of independence, When at last the storm cloud burst in the lightnings of war, hs rejoiced. On ths dawn of tbe lUth of April, 1775, when bs heard the guns of he exclaimed, "what a glorious morning is this! With tns declaration of independence, his life-work may bs said to hsrs been completed.

John Adams said of bim that "ha waa born and tampered a wedge of steel to split ths knot of lignum-vita) which tied Korth America to Great Britain." But perhaps few services in his lifs were greater than that which be rendered in per- susiing the Massachusetts convention to ratify tbs Nat.onal Constitution. Onlv he eonld hare carried a sufficient number of bis fellow anti-Federalists in that evenly balanced convention so at to secure the adoption ot ths greet Federal instrument Had Massachusetts refused, the Constitution would have been loet and the Nation plunged into chaos. And yet, had it not been for his delay in voting for ths Consti-tion, Samuel Adams, rather tban Joan Adams, would probably hare been Vice President with Washington, and hence his successor as ths second President of the United States. Samuel Ad ima, who founded tbe American Union, championed that distribution of tbe work of government which has saved our Nation from sa excess of centralized legislation. Ho is grand type of faithful cit ssnsbip in tbs duties ot municipal life.

His example teaches that vigilanes and virtus are tbe only safeguards of freedom. With more men like Samuel Adams, w.lliog to work unselfishly for good government, onr American cities might bs delivered from corruption. He was a arm believer in Christianity, a Puritan of the old school, though no bigot, as bs told ths General Congress when hs moved that an Episcopal clergymen kd that body in prayer. Hia best monumsnte besidse tbe Nation which he founded, are the old btate House of Boston, for forty years associated wita his publio Ufa, snd tbs old South Meung Ho ass, within whose walls two con tinea ts onos listened to his voics.
