In reviewing the Coliseum six-day race of
last week It Is putting It mildly to say
that It was a success. Manager Heyden de
serves a great deal of credit for the enter
prise he has shown In getting this race up
nnd the magnificent prize list which he of
fered was second to none that has ever been
given In the west. The bicycle craze Is at
the present time at fever heat and good
clean racing will draw largo crowds at any
time , nnd we might say "at any place. "
There will be no more racing after the 15th
of this month In the old Coliseum for some
time to come , as It will then be used as a
store house for the floats which are to bo
used during the state fair festivities this
fall. It Is possible , however , that arrange
ments will bo made to hold some races In
the big building during the winter months.
As the associated cycling clubs have been
given a date on the national racing circuit ,
the people of Omaha will then have a chance
to see some b cycle racing the like of which
they have never beheld before. All the
cracks will be here , among whom are Sanger ,
Murphy , Zelgler , Coulter , Cabanne , Tyler and
many others of fame , and as the Omaha
track Is fast wo may reasonably expect some
record breaking. Returning to the subject
of last week's race , the messenger boy
Is truly a wonder. At times his riding and
head work were like that of a veteran , while
at others ho showed poor head work , but at
no time did he show poor speed. With
proper care he will make a winner. If he
wishes to keep the esteem of the wheelmen
nnd be liked by everybody , he must bo
careful and not become a victim of the
dreaded "Swelled Head , " which Is very apt
to bo noticeable after n racing man has
been made as much over by the pcoplo as
this boy was last week. Wo think , however -
over , that his friends have the largo head
more over his performance than the boy
has himself , they seemingly being the ones
who are doing the "blowing. " Fredrick-
son deserves n great deal of pra'se for his
game riding ; ho Is so largo and bulky that It
is a very hard matter for him to get around
the sharp turns In the Coliseum track fast ,
while the messenger boy seemed to ride them
as easy as he did the stretches. On a good
half mile out-door Jrack , we think there 13 *
no question but wTiat Fred could beat the
boy easily.
Holloway comes In for his share of pra'se.
Ho rode a game race and deserves a great
deal of credit. Holton disappointed his
friends , as did also Gadko , who , by the way ,
is far from being In shape to ride a hard
race.
race.C. Kfng Denman has accepted a position
with the Columbus Buggy company of this
city. Ho will have charge of Its cycle
department , and Invites all of hla friends
and wheelmen In general to call and see his
line. Ho will continue racing , however , and
wo expect to see him at the top of the heap
of Nebraska racing men before the season
is over.
Plxlcy was laid up a couple of days last
week with a mild attack of tonsllltls.
Russell Condon spent several days In the
city last.week. . . He came In from the Big
Horn mountains , where he has charge of the
construction of Irrigation ditches. He says
that he has 'more success building ditches
than he did winning bicycle races.
A foreign wheel paper , seeking for a novelty ,
advertises that it will present a prize to the
subscriber who shall present , with the most
patches upon It , a pneumatic tire which ia
still serviceable. A certain member of ono oi
Omaha's wheel clubs has already subscribed
for the paper and forwarded his tire , which
wo will venture to say , from the numbsr of
times that he has had to ttop by the road-
elile on club runs to repair It , Is all
plugs and patches , very little of the original
tire remaining.
The village trustees of Babylon , L. I. , have
recently Issued an .order directing the police
to arrest all cyclists who ride within the
town limits on Sunday. In relation to this ,
Chief Consul Potter of the New York division ,
League of American Wheelmen , has Issued
the following statement : "I should like to
give notice to all cyclists who sec flt to ride
on the public streets or roads In the Village
of Babylon , cither on Sunday or any other
day of the week , for the purpose of business
or convenience or pleasure , that the New-
York state division of the League of Amer
ican Wheelmen will take up and prosecute ,
without cost to any wheelmen , an action
against the village authorities or any officer
acting or claiming to act In their behalf ,
whenever a wheelman shall he obstructed , ar
rested or forcibly detained on the public
highway or streets. It Is , of course , within
the province of the village authorities to
prevent the use of the sidewalks by wheel
men , or to require the use of bells or lamps ,
but beyond these reasonable regulations they
are powerless to prevent the free use of the
public streets by wheelmen who chose to
ride through Babylon on Sunday or any other
day. " This action on Mr. Potter's part
ought to force some ot the what-ls-the-league-
good-for-anyway croakers Into their holes.

The associated clubs wish to Impres
upon every rider of the wheel In the city th
necessity of keeping pn the right side of th
street. If a wheelman bo on the prope
side of the street and Is ran Into by a lean
coming from the opposite direction on th
same side the wheelman has a clear cas
for damages , but It the team be on th
right side and the wheelman on the wroni
tide and the collision occurs the teamstc
will be the one who will have the damag
case. It the wheelmen do not conform t
this rule there will soon be legislation com
pelllng them to do so.

Tim first section will be In charge of
(
lieutenant Melton , the second In charge ot
Jeutcnant Harding , and the third , which
vlll be composed mostly of recruits , will bo
cared for by the captain. A numbar of
( idles have signified their Intention of mak-
ng the trip. They will be aslsted and en
couraged In the third section. So como on ,
every one , and let's make the run ono of the
jest attended of the season.
Where was "Mr. Jinks" last Wednesday
evening ?
A little bird Is responsible for the Informa-
lon that a party of the Tourists got off the
road last Wednesday evening on their way
lome from Mynster Springs and were lost
among the corn fields and frog ponds of the
iowa bottoms. Who was the guide , eh ?
Some of those who were lost said they tried
lialf a. dozen different roads and think they
liad a combination of moonlight nnd blind
run which would be a sufficiency for a week.
Captain Moeller and his Turner boys will
bo with us today. They are a merry lot
and are always welcome companions on a
: ountry spin. I understand some of the
joys who did not attend the Underwood
run would like to be taught the game which
: he Turners were Instrumental in Introduc
ing.

The Plattsmouth run was abandoned last
Sunday on account of the flne rain. While
: nany were disappointed , there was not one
Jut whom would have given up his ride for
the rain. Word was received from Mr ,
loates , the genial proprietor of the Hotel
Illley , that a big dinner had been prepared
In expectancy of , the crowd of hungry
cyclists. The run j\Ill be taken In July.
The club made a fine appearance In the
parade Monday night , eighty-three men In
line , not bad , eh ? It was easy to pick out
the fellows who have been attending the club
runs , however , especially when the orders
were given by the bugle. The boys re
ceived many compliments along the line of
inarch for their orderly column , Sam Howe
felt as big as Jumbo with his flag and "ho
led the procession. "
Where were the lady members the evening
of the paradeDon't wait for some one to
make a start the next time , Just all make a
rush together.
A merry crowd of ladles and gentlemen , a
lovely run and a beautiful moonlight night
were the features of last Wednesday evening's
tour , Mynster springs the objective point.
There was a nice attendance of ladles on the
run and they all enjoyed It to Judge from
the delighted exclaniatlons which were heard
on all sides. Through the kindness of the
gentlemen In charge of tlie bottling works the
cyclists were enabled to drink their fill of the
crystal water , and several dozen of ginger
ale. A number , of the club members who
have not been very close attendants on runs
made manifest their Intention of taking "more
runs with the club If they were as nice as
that. " I can assure them that the majority
of them are all as nice as Wednesday even-
I.ng's Jaunt , and some ot them , much nicer.
Our captain , like every one else , makes his
share of mistakes and ones in a while misses
It , but those misses are few and we club
members receive the benefit of many a pre'ty
run his road experience enables him to pick
out for us.
Say , boys ! we arc to have a prize list this
season , ono that will lay In the shade any
previous mileage prize list. A committee ,
composed of H. K. Smith , W. M. Barnum
and W. C. Bouk wore appointed at the last
meeting to solicit a few prizes from tlie local
merchants. A couple of hundred dollars worth
have already been promised and the list with
full particulars will soon be distributed to the
members. There will be prizes for best
mileage , best attendance on club runs , best
time for hill climbing , best century time , etc. ,
etc. There will be Insurance policies , gold
and silver medals , cups , shoes , cigars , meal
tickets , Eiibscrlptlpna to cycling Journals ,
clocks , hats , sweaters' and bicycle sundries
galore.
Thirty-eight applications for membership to
the club were acceptej at the June meeting ,
that gives us 146 members to date. A number
of ladles- were also elected members of the
club. We are now the largest bicycle club In
the state. The membership committee re
ported fifteen or twenty applications Jn the
hands of the members wno were absent.
These wlll have to. go over now until the
July meeting.
The club menibdrs have been close at
tendants at the great six day race , cheering
their club mates who were entered , on to
victory. Frcilripksen rode the race of his
llfo and rode It well. Edgehlll Is the pet of
the club. , ,
The bare ball clpb had better be getting a
move on. Why'flon't you get together Saturday
'
urday afternoon , boys , and do some practice.
Every lady member of the club should turn
out on the boulevard run this month and
make It a success. * NELLIE HAZEL.

When the University club was first pro
jected , one of the 'purposes of the founderer
was to give to Omalt'a clean amateur sport ot
all kinds , sport , too , the only element of
which was not tha mere fact of Its clean
liness. Between professionalism , pure and
simple , and the Young Men's Christian asso
ciation standard of sporting excellence , there
Is a middle ground , where are to be found
the sympathies ot the vast majority of those
who enjoy sport for Its own sake. To this
class the University club proposed to give
the kind of sport iof vyhlch It had the great
est adjniratlon. 'The.whole thing was. an ex
periment , and one ; : entailing considerable
risk to the promoters of the enterprise , but
realizing that nothing much can be secured
on the "sure thlni''prlnclple , the officers ot
the club decided t < iMake the chances and
furnish Omaha Its Tlrst taste of real live
college base ball. Every on ? knows how the
University of Michigan team came and won
Its game from lhe"local club by the veriest
luck , and then how-the Chicago university ,
with Its mighty Slagg , was unable to do
more than one-half'What she expected to do
with the greatest ease , but every one does
not know that In order to secure those two
teams the officers ot th ? new club had to
personally guarantee over $500 , rain or shine.
No ono can ever realize the many kinds ot
cooling shivers which gamboled up and down
the spines of these officers on Decoration
day morning , when for the first time In six
weeks the rain drop's gentle tread was heard
upon the roof. In spite of everything , the
expsrlment was a pronounced success finan
cially , and as a stroke of politics for the
club It has proved to be the turning point
In Its history. The Interest manifested In
these games has shown that the people oi
Omaha want them at any price , and the club
proposes they shall have them ,
The local club has shown that It Is right
In the came class with the college boys , even
In spite of Its limited opportunity for prac
tice and team work , and merits the high
compliment paid to It by Stagg after the
game In which It defeated his team , when
ho said that If It could have the constant
practice which his team gMs no amateur
aggregation In the country could defeat It.
In view ot the unexpected success which
has attended the club do far In Its career , the
directors are already 'seriously considering
the matter of admitting members free to a
portion , If not all ot the gamci. At the next
regular meeting of the board of directors
this matter will bo definitely acted upon.
The club proposes to do even more for
toot ball than It has done or contemplates
doing ( or base ball.
It proposes to assume control of this great
sport for the city and give the admirer ol
It the best article which the states ot Iowa ,
Nebraska uud Missouri afford. Already throe
ot the Intercollegiate league games are
scheduled for Omaha and negotiations are
already on foot to get All the prominent fool
ball teams ot the west here for gamei with
the team to be put Into the field by the clut
Itielf.
hag co far taken a strong Interest In ath
letics , It must not be concluded thai It I *
nn athletic club pure and simple , for such
Is not the case. In view of the many abor
tive attempts already made to found similar
clubs In Omaha It was thought that the best
way to win ( ho hearts of the pcoplo and
make Its presence known at the start was
.o make prominent that especial feature for
which there seemed to bo the loudest call ,
Then as the time for each of the others be
came ripe to direct the entire energy and
attention of the directors to making a suc
cess of that. Certainly no club has ever
\von for Itself such a place In this city In
so short a time as has the University club
of Omaha.

ciation. St. Joe Gazette. You fellows out
west have no kick coming. There Is as much
glass In your houses as there Is In Tom
Ramsey's arm. Rockford Morning Star.
Omaha , writes a Quincy correspondent , took
advantage of our crippled condition last
week and took two out of three games from
us , McGrevey winning his game In fine style ,
allowing the Nebraska sluggers only five
hits. Mac has been doing some good work
lately , not only In the box , but with the
stick. The St. Joe aggregation struck us Fri
day nnd succeeded In capturing the first
game by ascratch. In the second and third
we flmply slaughtered them. Take McVey ,
Howe and their two catchers away and the
St. Joe team has no license to beat anybody.
Their center fielder , Marcuni , gave an ex-
hlbtlon of temper In Sunday's game that
thoroughly disgusted the entire audience and
caused the umpire to fine him. With three
men on bases and two out Hlckey hit safe
over second base. Marcum ran In to field the
ball , but It bounded over his head. He got It
In plenty of time to hold Hlckey on second ,
but Instead , he threw the ball with all hU
might over tlie center field fence , race track
and sheds beyond , allowing four men to score.
As "Bobby" Caruthers la now both captain
and manager and has sole charge of the
team , we will expect good results from now
on ; So far we have been beaten two out ot
every three games of each series played with
the exception of St. Joe. They were dead
easy for us. In the last game with Omaha
William Zels had the misfortune to get one
of the small bones In hla leg broken. The
big first baseman , O'Brien , walked all over
him. He was taken to the hospital , where
every attention wag shown to him. We look
for him out again by July 4. Joe Katz has
been nunlng a lame back for the past week.
He lays ho will ba all right when we open
with Dei Molnes tomorrow. If there had
been no mistake made In the selection of a
manager In the early part of the season we
would now stand well up In tlie first division.
for Us , got a telegram from Watklns of
Jndtannpolls , saying : "Tnko first train for
here. I need you at once , " We don't want
any more men farmed out to us ; his place

Trnut IMnlilni * In N
AINSWORTH , Neb , June 4. To the Sport
ing Editor ot The Bee : An Omaha gentle
man on the train last night wished me to
glvo him some notes on the big catches of
trout I have been making this spring. Trout
are In Long Pine stream Tin ! plenty of them ,
speckled brook trout and rainbow. The
speckled trout run In size from four ounces
to two pounds and rainbow run as high as
seven pounds , In net average about one and
one-half pounds. Mr. Smith , manager of the
Long Pine eating lionee- and myself Satur
day , May 18 , caught sixty-six rainbow trout ,
weighing ninety-two pounds , one large ono
weighing three and one-half pounds and om
four , and one-half pounds. This of course
was a largo catch an * will pro'bably not bo
equaled again. But lt > hits been a common
thing for us to catch Irom fifteen to. twenty-
six In a day's fishlnpJ They bite best very
early In the mornlngi or about two hours
before sundown. Yesterday Mr. Smith and
myself caught twenty-Oiree rainbow and the
day before caught eighteen speckled trout.
Wo use nt this time a minnow about two
and one-half Inches long for bait , carryln *
them along the creek olive. Iater In the
season they can be caught with a fly hook.
An amusing Incident happened recently.
Wo came onto a fellow on the creek wltU
a party of four or five who started out to
follow us and do a little fishing on the side
for a blind. One party was Just putting on
a bait , and to my surprlpo ho used a chub
about six Inches long , and then wondering
why he couldn't catch anything. There were
four In the party and between them caught
three trout , I understand.
Of course there are a number of little
secrets about bait and manner of fishing
which I have learned by experience and It
made a number of the would-be sports of
Long Pine very Jealous nt our largo catches
and accuse us of catching them with a
trammel or gill net or by some Illegal means ,
but I want to say that I consider myself too
much of a sportsman to do a trick of this
kind , and besides that , many trout could
not bo gotten In a week's time In n net of
any kind. A party of four Just returned
from Dewcy's lake , thirty-five miles south
west of Alnsworth , with a fine string of
black bass. Speckled trout were caught In
a stream near the lake called the Boardman.
The bass average about two pounds , I should
Juflgo the largest about four pounds , and the
trout about one-half pound average. Parties
going to these lakes can got good accommo
dations In the way of boats and Ice , and
either camp or beard at one of the houses
near the lake.
Many people saw our catch of trout and
over thirty-five people were served with
trout for breakfast Sunday morning , the
19th , at the railroad eating house , Long
Pine , from Manager Smith's catch of the
day before.
It Is a common thing to get trout served
at the Dwlnell hotel or at the hallroad eat
ing house , Mr. Nebrlch , the genial manager
of the Dwlnell , being quite a fisherman.

The University club of Omaha foot ball
team ls going to Butta for a game with that
team on the Fourth df July. Last Thanks
giving the Young Menls Christian association
team went from hero and took Butte Into
camp to the tune of 46 lo 4 , and taught the
Butte boys roany , valuable lessons In the way
of training , tackling andi interference. Since
then the Butte team lias been playing con
tinually , and has beaten. Spokane , 18 to 0 , and
Salt Lake 52 to 0 on Decoration day. They
have Improved and strengthened their team
wonderfully , and the "fans" out there are
crazy for another go at the Omaha team.
As the Young Men's Christian association has
changed Its policy In regard to contests
with outside teams , they were unable to go ,
so C. L , Thomas , who was manager and
captain of the team that went to Butte last
fall , Is going to take the matter In hand and
get up a team of the college boys who will
be homo by that time. May they teach the
Butte team many of the fine points of the
game again this time.
