the Tunes-herald. There is aiway9 crowd
1 enough to guide the unaccustoincd vittor to
the scene of intereat. The southern stretch
5 of the Ring road. a considerable part of
which skirts tim so-called Serpentine , is tle
exercising course of the lady riders of bicy-
: des. Formerly I3attersea park was the
ehoeii resort of the female Ixions , the election -
tion being made because that park is remote
frcm the haunts of fashtonabie idlers. and
therefore admirably sutted 'to sensitive ladles
who do not care to have members of their
own world look on , amused or derisive , when
- , INheels wbbled under the novice and falls
w ro not infrequent. hut as "all sorts"
gathered there , the necessity of reaeserting
their exclusiveness was impressed upon the
inpro select divinities of the wheel. Finally
a conces.slon was secured by which the
, sacied precincts of Hyde park could be in-
_ _ w vaded , and the road along the Serpentine
was deolgnated as the courLo for biking in
t the forenoon hours , At first the spectators
were only chalice passers , or those attracted

The annual meet of the Nebraska dis'Lsion ,
League of Amercan Wheelmen , will ho hold
in Lincoln , July 3 antI 4. This was settled
at a incoting of the board of omeers In the
narhors of the Capital hotel , Lincoln , on
Saturday evening last. There were but two
proponittons that amounted to anythIng sub-
initted to the board , one from Lincoln , which
sas to offer a prize list of $1,250 , and Ut
expend $2,000 upon a one-fourth mhlo track.
grand stands , etc. , at the old M street bail
park. Lincoln's bond was put up by an Investment -
vestment company of that city , which is
backing the Capital City Cycling club and
practically running the meet. Omaha offered
a $1,600 irizo hat , a one-halt milo track l'
honed conditlcn , and banquet to the visit-
log whoeitnen on the opening evening of the
meet. The Gate City's bond was put up by
the Commercial club. and considering everything -
thing Omaha's bd wae the better by abuttt
; ioo. Th $2,000 while ! ) Lincoln offered t
expend upon a track should not have been
taken htito consideration , as Omaha already
liar a track , grand stand and everythIng in
shape , within ten minutes ride of the center
of the city , vhichi cost nearly double that
amount , and as Lncoln had nO down town
track and it was necessary for her to build
one before holding a succesfuI moot , thcre-
Fore by adding the cost of the track to her
b 4 for tite state oneet she made it appear to
the board that her bid waa the better. n
an interview with Mr. Howe.who represented
the Omaha League club at the meeting , he
explained the whole thing In this way : "We
could not have gotten the meet If we had
offered $10,000 for it. if the board had been
fair and awarded the moot to the applicant
who offered the most for it , we would have
got it , but. what could. we expot ? Three out of
six of its memberr are LIncoln men , while
the Grand island member was easily iu-
Iluencod by the Lincoln contingent. Chile !
Consul Ednalston proved' to be a man of his
word ( nit ) , or again we might have etooi
same allow. In a conversatIon with Coin-
migalener Utt and my.ehf a day or two are-
vous to tue beard meeting lie promised us
that If we had the bert bid ho wouhd vote
for us. while it ali things were equal , ho
was pedged ! to Lincoln , and then ha' turtia
round at th naeeting and refuses to vote at
all. knowing that without his vote Omaha
would lose. and thinking thereby to aquare
himself with both cities when. aa a matter
of fact. ho only uank deeper ir the eatima
tlon of those present. Commissioner ULL of
the Commercial club offered thiem about every-
th'cg that could be des'lred in the way c
entertainment and prize list , but' his oftora
fell upon deaf ears , and we were turned
down. By next year we should Increase our
membership In this city zo that when the
annual election of cfficers takes place we can
put men In the pcsltlons of chief conauh , vice
ccnsui and secretary-treasurer who have
some principle about them. "
The inveatnituat company which is furnish-
hog the fInances for the Capital City Cycling
club to conduct the , tflte meet actually had
the audacity to question the validity of a
bond , aigned by the Commercial club of
Omaha , when as matter of fact this or-
ganizatlou could almost buy Lincoln outrIght
if It wirited , and have xiaoney left to throw
at the birda.

There is about the same relative merit Iii the

Tlte Tourist Vlievhiiteil.
Notwithstanding the threatening rain last
Sunday , Soveliteeli of the Tourists polished up
the bright parts of their machines and
donned their riding habits and as the hour
approached for the signal to "mount wheels , "
the fanatliar sound of the bugle in the hands
of V. H. Potts' . who now occupies that peal-
tion In the chub , at once reminded the boys
that thie riding season of 1896 wan no' longer
something to be looked forward-to , but was a
thIng of the present , and an inquiry front.
one of their companions who stood near by
withiout any wheel to make the "first called
run" as to who they were , was quickly responded -
sponded to by the "Tourist Yell. "
Who are we ?

Tho-boys then received the command from
Captain SpenCer to start and the run waste
to Bennington , Neb. , and return , which was
made In due season. Nothiing occurred to
mar the pleasure of the day's trip , with the
exception of one or two punctures , which occurs -
curs on nearlyevoryvclub run , and is looked
upon as nothing uncomrnbn.
The flrst run for .1895 was to the same
point , 'hut unlike tito weather , which last
Sunday turned out to be that of a cool day
with only aa oUght ibreeze , It , way the reverse -
verse s'o far as the windiwas concerned , the
wind blowing at such : avehoclty ae to make
walking much preferiei to riding any of the
upgrades , and being the firat run of the
season tile boys hadl not become hardened
to riding so but what. 1tho end of the trip
found tIme majority ofthiem asmuch fatigued
as If they had just tlpIe'hed up a century ride
Instead of a spin of eGthlirty-two miles.

pleasant country jaunts this summer , but cx-

enjoying their accustomed outings hero lie

Many wOrds of prafoa were hieard from the
boys r.egarding the' excellent manner In
which Captain Spenoer conducted the tun
host Sunday , and It I the belief that alh the
runs in tue future vihi be sucht ns to warrant -
rant only favorable comment on the part of
all who may participate In the club runu ,

"England is a sucked orange , " said then-

and support of the Salvation army.
"Henceforth I must look to America , the
hand of gold , for army recruits and army
support. "
When General Booth made that remark ,
says the New York Sun , he had no idea
that the American branch of his organt-
zation was destIned to be disruited : that hil

forces when the remark was made , 'would
leave the old organization amId start a new
erie of lila own for the particuar purpose
of evangelizing that "land of gold. " Tint
general knows It now , however , and he
knows' what the disruptug of tins Amen-
can branch of the army ha8 cost. That Is
why he is so eager to prevent the secession
from spreading.
It Is estimated that tInt split in this
country has cost the Salvation army so far
eomcithiag over $5,000. Tlii includes the
traveling expenses of the numerous envoys
Hant to thii country from London by then.

messages together with the traveiIng ox-
nooses of the English envoys through di-
fenent sections of the United Slates. The
major portion of this expense bait been
borne by nationa headquarters. It is said

Upon it the national treasury ha borrowed

The treasury of the Central chIef division
has always been well filled owing to the
fact that Dahiington Booth had a number
of weaithy friends In this city whom he
could always caii upon iii iliac of need ,
Now that lie hIatt been dIsmissed from the
army the majority of thic'se persona have
cut off their contributions. Those who still
contribute to the army are now contribut.
