Of course In town whcro thcro arc repair shops on nrarly every block , a woman will go to ono t once. In all respects the etiquette of thn road Is the same as between men and women driving or riding or walking. Thrrp Is 110 more reason for a man cyclist to touch his hat to a passing woman cyclist with whom he In not acquainted than for a man riding or driving or nalklug to salute a woman he meets riding or driving or walking , Differ ent situations do not alter the lawn of good manners. A woman should nlunjn have the right of way. The question of cos tume has 'bt-cn settled In ono way In that the hldeoui and unscxlng bloomcra and knickerbockers worn by some women In the early days of tha wheel cinzo have pretty well disappeared , to be superseded by the becoming ami womanly short skirt , Just touching the ankles , with gaiters ( not lee' glngs ) , while knickerbockers and stocking * * with rolled tops have In men's costumes en tirely done away with the unsightly long trousers held In .it the bottom by clips. The cycling ctlquctto of the road , however , must ho founded unon the Rtcat usnvrltttn laws which govern the Intercourse , of refined nnd cultivated pKiplo everywhere . .nd which enable the world to move forward , is It were upon "ball bearings. " A CltAlTi'MOSS IIICYCI.E. The I'rolil.-iii Snlil tn IIn\o llccii Holvcil by n I'lttMlmi-Ker. PIttsburg claims to have t'to first practice bio chalnless bicycle. For yeara Invcntorn ha.ve been trying to solve the problem of thg troublesome chain , with Its lost motion A local company Is the Introducing agent ot the wheel , of which Charles S. Mclntlre of Allegheny Is the Inventor. The company has on exhibition the various wheels thnt have been constructed In an attempt to get a chalnlcss wheel. The original Is a clumsy affair weighing over forty pounds. The present machine will weigh no more than other bicycles. The mechanism consists of two steel driv ing rods connected with the rear axle , run nlng along cither side ot the rear wheel. The front ends cf the driving rods are con neotcd with the driving apparatus , which Is encased In a small box. Inside U an end less roller belt which acts on a ball bearing principle , passing over two wheels which correspond somewhat In size to the sprocket wheels of a chain bike. This bo < Is filled with lubricant , the moving parts thua being constantly oiled. No dust can reach any pait of the- driving apparatus. The driving reds glvo direct motion , no loose chains giving trouble. The propulsion is not on ono side , but Is equal on both. No motion can bo lost. The device Is entirely simple. There is really nothing to got out of order. The chalnless wheel can bo stopped al most Instantly by back pedaling. Perfect control of the wheel rests In the feet of the r U ! or. As a hill climber it is a sure winner. There are others who believe In the wheel's practicability besides its promoters. Gen eral Nelson A. Miles regards It very favor ably for military usage. It stood n govern ment test of four hours , and the company Is now making a model for government use. The wheel has been run up some ot Uic rockiest hills In PIttsburg with heavy riders- and stood the test. In the application of the chalnless plan to a tandem , the direct motion is even a greater success. The wheels will bo put Into the market next March. ICelinc-N of IIic Tonrlxt Wlic-elmiMi. "Holloa , there. Fitch , old boy. Did you make a century yesterday ? Got back be fore It rained , didn't you ? " "Did I ? Well , I Just wished you had been along. Talk about fun ; I never had a bet ter time In my life. In the morning I was up bright and early , went down to the club house and with a largo party of the boys we started to Tekamah. No , the grass didn't grow under our feet. It was Just 6:15 : when wo registered out and at 9:10 : wo rounded that fifty mile post beyond Teka mah and made It back to Dlalr at 11:55 : , In time for dinner. "Marsh was feeling llko a race horse and wo started out together with Dewberry along for company and the wind Just fairly blow us along like an express train ; up ono hill and down tha other wo sped along , passing houses , teams , dogs and everything which we encountered on the way out. "That man Maish wai feeling pretty frisky and vowed that ho could climb any ot the hills beyond Kort C&lhoun , but when we cnmo to that long Incline Just beyond De Solo he balked and actually atarted for the ditch , but Dewberry and I stayed by It nnd readied the top safely. Of course had ho ridden It I would have been compelled to have cateu his machine In order to fulfill a wager that I would do BO If he rode every hill. hill."Uut "Uut say , you ought to have seen us , when In going down ono of those long hills them was a narrow strip of ground that It was nc-cessary to keep Just so or > ou would get a tumble. Marsh was Just ahead of me and ho took a llttlo tumble and landed directly In my path. Did I hit him ? Well , I should say I did , and for hours I could hardly rldo for laughing , to sco how my wheel raised him off fiom his feet and landed him several fret beyond.'o both rolled over nnd over for about two rods , got up , took an Inven tory ot ourselves and continued on ourJour- nw. nw."Yes "Yes , wo met n party at the fifty mlle post , who was going on up the road to a llttlo town some ten miles farther on and wanted us to Join him and make It 135 miles the round trip , but wo did not do so , but If wa had the chances are that wo would have got caught In the rain bcforb wo got back ; but say , I was Just fooling fine and I think it I bad tried that I would have been able to have lowered Homo of the present records without any difficulty ; as tt was we made the tilp lu a llttlo over seven hours actual riding time and still could have made It In much quicker time had wo not stopped to wait for the balance of the boys. " As Tom Spencer boarded the train nt Fort Calhoun IIP spied the writer sitting down In one corner of Jhc car looking as Innocent as a lamb , when ho at once jumped on him with both feet ami said simply because I were a standup collar that I was a "hoodoo" nml that was the cause of the rain , which caused many to weep bitter teara. Of course wo could not stand any such abuse , and , accordingly , laid It to that rainbow sweater , but the actual cause was learned when ono of the Turners , -which composed a party of twelve or fifteen passengers on the same car , accidentally told ubout going to church up tn Tekamah , and then wo breathed easier for a time , when one of the women took occasion to score us for a little Item that appeared a few weeks ago , which said she only rode up to Illalr and back , when in reality she made a full 100 miles , and has a century bar to prove her assertion , That wo made duo apology It Is needless to state ; and If you will forgive us , Miss Colllo wo will never do t > o again not until next time , A elanco at the rlub rcgltUor tells the whole story In a nutshell , who went out. whore they went , the time they got back iind a few of their troubles and trials.

"Faith- ftil" Gndlte , who won both open professional events at the state circuit meet he-Id here In August , failed to get to the front , white McCall , who has been Improving very rapidly the past month , seemed to bo the hero , and carried off the principal event of the day. Frcdrlckson did not pet placed In the open evc-uts , and In fact he- has done but llttlo during the past season that would stamp him as a. fast mnn. The only men who can lay claim to Nebraska champion ship honors this jear are Maxwell , Mockett and McCall , and between these three , which is the fastest Is a toss-up. The past thrco weeks have furnished the most delightful cycling weather of the year , and not only that , but the country roids have never before been in better condition for country nms. They are hard as asphalt nnd almost ns smooth.

The indications Irre1 that when the season i of 1897 opens there will be many less In ' the cycle business * and that several largo ' manufacturers wilt establish branch housea in this city and "thus do away with thulr < agencies. It Is now an assured fact thnt ' Omaha will have nt least ono fair sized hi- t cycle fnctory next year ; ono that will turn ' out ,1. . ! . . in " th'o the neighborhood of 1,000 wheels ' t" season. The six-day race , which closed nt Charles , Street park last evening , proved lo be a ] i frost , so far as attendance was concerned.

The base ball season Is Just about over and the Orioles have a copper-colored clncl ; on _ the top notch by making It four stralgh from the Spiders. During the balmy days of the golden fall a few spasmodic games will still convinca the fan that ho Is nltv and his blood nnd nerves are still willing to respond to the magic "play ball , " bu the twitches will bo weak and dying.

" Four straight In the Temple cup series Is a pretty hard close for- the Spiders t swallow. It makes ono laugh to think o their magnificent confidence when they le the Baltimore's pick the schedule as they pleased. They weren't In it for a minute as every" game In the series was a walkawn for ( the Orioles. It was a case ot the bettc man , winning , though , from start to flnlsl : as the winners outpltcht-d , outbattcd , out flcldod and outplayed all atound the Spider In every game. Nevertheless , the games looked llko gooi ones from the scores , nnd the papers of th country gave them Innumerable columns o space. Despite the Interest felt In them though , they were not witnessed by crowd that could bo called good for Hist clas amateur games. It was a frost In M.-Utlmor and another In Cleveland when the flna game was played there last Thursday.

The apldem' own Patsy wasn't able to play In the last tw games and you will soon see him telling In private how it was because he wasn't there , In the beginning of this digression it wai stated that the long-haired apparition o Iho gridiron is appearing on the sporting horizon , but ns a matter ot fact , ho Is her already in all bis life-sized grandeur nnc ! color. His presence is not felt so much ou here in the west ns yet , but the teams an awakening into life. In the east , however , the season has been on a month or mor already. The raw mntorl.il has appeared In the ( preliminary mutches and the collog jonth has been given a chance to begir that j long figuring which always makes 1 Impossible ] for his favorites to lose , oven after , the last game of the season had de cided otherwise. The Indications are that the season wll bo ono ot surprises. For years past the smaller college teams of the east have been gradually ( forging up to the four big elevens slowly so that the matches between them have begun to be moro than practice games They promise to ( jet closer than ever this year. Yale has been scored upon by team which used to bo easy prey. Prince ton was unable to score upon another which was formerly just as much of a snap. - Yale Is sailing under Its old colors again this , year. It will have no game with Harvard and wants none with Penusyl- vnnl.i. The latter , which , In sportsmanship has j , not always been what might be < le- slnvl , but which of recent yeara has op- paivntly found -thpt Its "muckerlsh" methods : , will not go among true sports men , has used every effort to arrange a eamo with Ynlo , but without avail. The correspondence over the matter was begun before the season opened. It Is closed now. Yale will not play and that la all there Is about It. The ultimatum was given out iccently and Is contained In the following oelf-evplnnatory letter : NRW IIAVRN. Conn. , Sept. SO. President of Pennsylvania University Foot Unl ! Asso ciation : l'l asp nc'fcpt inv Mnrero things for your esteemed favor , In reply to which I be r to sav. that , whllo for rnov reasons our association would bo very jlnd to nr- raiiKP the game you offer , yet there uro conditions on account of which , nt the present , time , It would bo undesirable to deviate J ] from the existing arrangement of our schedule. Helle'vo me. with bc-st wishes , very truly yours , K. IS. GA1UUSON , President Y. U. P. II. A. It will bo noticed that the Yalenslans glvo no reason for 'tho ' rofnaal of a game , except that It would bo contrary to good policy. I And what Is the good policy ? Nothing more or less than that It does not want t > > suffer a disastrous defeat. That Is what it would como to. Pennsylvania at this early day Is stacking way up above Yalo. From the experiences 6f past years It will she up Just so much stronger at the end of the season as It docs now at the opening. Such Is Yale's policy In foot ball , as In everything elseIf It were not for her the four big college teams It should pos sibly be said the five teams , ni Cornell must bo numbered amongst the el"8 " ' would bo Joined In that long looked for foot ball league. Tha writer U In a position to know , for he was on the ground when the league appeared to bo on the eve of consummation , But Yale backed out at the ln t minute and once moro the league fell through , It Is quite possible that another year may see the league In existence. Yale Is getting tired of being fioien out by the other big colleges , It Is now trying to make up . with Harvard , with the chance of a game next year. Harvard , however , will make no arrangement with Yale that will not In clude Pennsylvania , These three being brought together , Princeton will naturally fall In , as It is already on fiicndly terms with Yale atU Harvard , " The conquering Australian cricketers were Ust downed by Philadelphia players In match that was begun an last Saturday and completed on Monday , The finish match was a cooler , The Phlladolphlans changed their team Homowlmt , and it then formed a combination that puzzled tbo Australians completely , The Americans won by an InnIng - Ing and ulxty runs.

TUey are carrying away enough glory any way. They easily won the two matches In Chicago , and they have two of the thrco Philadelphia. Besides that , they have their credit a victory over the Orange Athletic club , but this match waa In the na ture of an exhibition , as the Athletic club cricketers never Imagined for a moment that they could win.
