20 THE OMAITA DAILY BEE : SUNDAY , JANUARY 0 , 1808. If the prophcclM of the manufacturers of bicycles have good foundation , the present year will be n. prosperous ono for maker * and dealers. The hauls of these cheery opinions Is the tadlcal change of models and the re duced price of chain wheels. The bevel gear pool catalogue the new model at , $125. and It"Is llkily the price will hold for some months. Wheelers with money to burn and en ambition to be "up-to-date" Will patron ize the new mount , but the multitude Is not likely to blow $125 for an experiment .while high-grade ehalnless wheels can he had for tOO or $ fiO. In discussing the present condi tions of trade , Mr. U. L. Colman , president of the National Cycle Hoard of Trade , said : "The Indications In all sections of the coun try nio that trade will open up this season much earlier than ever bcoru , and I at- tiibnte this largely to the fact that no cycle shows arc to bo held. Heretofore dealers al- wa > s deferred renewing their agency con- tn'.ots and placing new models on vlow until aft.T the shows had been held. Hut this sean - -n they aru urging the prompt delivery o. ' ii.ii.iplcs , nnd they are now making their n pnal announcements In their local papers. Tuo result Is that their regular customer * II..VH been placing orders for ' 1)8 ) models for beviiral wteks past. It Is generally concerted tint the cycle shows tended lo retard ri.thcr thru ntiinulalo business. They wcro cou rt " 'ted under enormous expense to the ex- 1) ) bltorii , with no appreciable returna.

Jcmes "Michael " , oftentimes referred to as the "Welsh rarebit"mid the "bicycle midget , " has forsaken his wheel and the tack : "for the winter and "sat out on a ne\\ sott. of competition , Readers of the dally papers may have noticed In the London dlsaptehes of late thai iod Sloan , the wee-bit American Jockey , has b < > - > n astonishing "the turfmen of Eng land , < . " Indeed , almost everybody elseon her luajy's tight little Isle , by the start ling magnificence of his wearing apparel. His gorgeous flirts , his watches , Jils diamonds and all about him have been for weeks the talk of all the classes Inclined to sport In all .big London town. Everything he has worn has been a gem In the sartorial art and from all that can be gathered from what the cable has brought , not even Solomon In all his glory was ever arrayed as Is this little. Yankee Jockey. Now Sloan will Michael try to beat. At what ? 'Not ' as a Jockey , of course , for Michael doesn't ride the horse. Neither wll It be In a bicycle > race , for Sloan doesn't ride \ a wheel. Well , then , at what ? Why , ai ; clothes , to be sure , and the race will be swift and Interesting. Michael , thougli a Welshman , was a hot favorite In London before he forsook the blooming 'British ' and became an American ' citizen. Now , of course. It touches him just a bit to find himself supplanted In favor by a smarting hero as diminutive as himself and he Is going back to London to reclaln : the admiration that once was his. He wll ! Ight Sloan with his own weapons , too vUithes and expects to beat him In 'the race hands -dawn. In his career In .England Jockey Ted has cut the widest kind of a swath. He has more swell clothes than a mule could drag down hill , and watches aiU diamonds till the brain 'fairly reels. He has kept a secretary and a valet nnd both have 'been .busy looking after him and the $100,000 a year his riding has brought him , ' Michael has not been making $100,000 , 'but ' he has been making a tidy pile , and , unllko Sloan , ho has saved It. If the two were to compare bank accounts now , probably the bicycle rider could show the larger balance , ind part of that balance Is to go for clothes , mil 'When Jimmy again puts foot on English soil ho will be a study in broadcloth and flno linen the llko ot which English eyes have never seen.

My ambition Is to see Jimmy dressed as ho ought-to be. That's a mighty good-looking boy. Why , I tell you , people will be astonished when "they " see him In line feathers. I want to sec him the Ted 'Sloan of the bicycle world I want him to bo to the wheel what Bloan Is to the. horse. Just you 'wait until I get him In a high hat and a Prlnco Albert.

The best of Amerlca'H short-distance men have been pitted against him and the acknowl edged champion short-distance riders of Kng- land and Franco have had a go with him. All' have met the same fate. The little Welshman has beaten them without ap- paiently being driven to do his best and ho Ktlll wants more. In the races with Chase and Taylorc , ono of which was held on Christmas eve and tils other on Now Years ovc , the Welsh wonder easily oiitpedalled both his opponents. The tacc with Chase was a thirty-mile event , and until C'uaso fell and quit at the end of the twentysixthmllo 'Michael , was ahead all the while. Then the latter was about u mlle and a half ahead. Chase's managers claim that their rider had a stitch In bU sldo 'before ' ho went on the track , but It looks as If the trouble -was a too hot pace and nothing else. In the Tayloro race , which -was twcnty-flvo miles long , the Frenchman led during the flrut mile , but the midget pa teed him then and never again dropped behind , It was plain to cveryono that the Welshman was iltogether .too faster Taylore , although the latter rode hard throughout the race. When No attempted to follow 'Michael ' he soon quit exhausted. Michael won by a mlle and a third. Who will Michael meet now ? It sofms as f there was no one left for him to conquer. It Is stated , however , that Lulton , the linKllsh rider who talked of leaving the track and who ls < considered tie better than Chase , U coming to this country next Boasoii to go against the mlJget. Ix'hr , the lerman rlderi. who Is , n.ow In this country , s also anxious to meet Michael , Tbo Welshman , luwuver , U getting read/ to give upwork for this ca on. He Is going orer to 1x3 n don nntl there ho Intends lo "bo- come the rival of Ted Sloan In the matter ot clothes. It Is said that ho has become somewhat envious ot the attention the llttto jockey la receiving as n swell And ho proposes to outdo him- . Racing men In this country nro very de sirous of being paced by machines nnJ an attempt -Is to bo made to abolish the ruling of the L.CQKUO of American Wheelmen that records made by the oMlelanco of other linn man-power cannot bo accepted by Its racing board , The dissatisfaction exists from tlio fact that the pd'e6makers are hlg < i In their fees nnd It Is charged that "they " get the blggcat end ot the purses. In a recent match between Jacnueltn and Llnton at Paris the Frenchman had an electric triplet und wcei inlly. It Is probable - able th.it mechanical pace-making will be tiio rule In Franco next season. U lias proved Itself regular , pafe , speedy , and ca pable of bctag pushed faster than any rider can hang on. It has driven the regular pacemakers Inilo other fields and much re- auced the cost of match racing. \ rider needs only * halt a dozer * men , against a piecmaklng crew of from twenty-four to forty. Manufacturers who have epcnt their profits to support pacing teams ball the electric triplet , with delight. It may , however , mluco the public In terest In paced raers. Many people Attend match middle distance races because they delight In the spectacular. They love to see the masterly changes when olio pacing crew dellvcru Its riders to another. The great army of p.iccrs nnd big machines Ciowdlng the track , the respective merits of known pacing teams , Hie 'thrills ' that chaao up and down the t > pcc ! at the hazardous chccices taken nnd the ever-present pcssl- blllty of a eplll , all < jppt .il to the love of athletic strength latent In every American of either fiex. Tlio naHon.il racing board of the League of American Wheelmen has considered the charge ; that tiit > track on which the recent International 6lx-tay race In New York , was run was short. The meeting was bold behind closed doors. The evidence was contradictory. The track manager has tried to My the blame on the builder of the track , while It Is claimed that the latter Itittated that he had worked under iiistructlotM. The result ot the meeting will probably not bo known for eomo weeks , us a trarncrlpt of the evldtcico will be cub- mltisd to all nienibcM of the boird for a mall vote. H Is unreasonable to suppose that the track , ins'nasemcnt was Innocent in the matter and It Is hoped pretty ginerally that 'the ' board will luke steps to dlscountej j uanro 'Its oetltu. nieyclo Mcera have nude money in other counirios than this during the last ccason 'McMonler ' Is at the top of the French win new , with about $180,000 as hla share o winnings.

Boston was a can didate until ten days ago -when they , too , llko OmaLa , decided to withdraw from the con test. Indianapolis Is much easier of access to mid-western wheelmen than any of the other cities whreh were after the meet am next August will undoubtedly see a largo number of them attend the National gather- Ing. The executive committee named Augusl as the month In which the meet must be held , but left the exact date of It for In dianapolis to name. Chief Consul O'Brien says that ho will endeavor to get up a good sl/eil party to attend from this state and asks that all 'wheelmen who are thinking of attending fiend him their names as early as possible. As the date of Hie Nat-lorn !

Tihe Nebiuska division has fmir'votes at the ajwcmbly , all of which will be cast ! n favor of local option as to Sunday racing and the admln- fllnu of prnfcKsloiKilH to membership.

From the present Indications'racing men will bo forced to pay their own expenses thh year , as the makers. Aru , not bidding for their services and many of the prominent riders , both eastern and-\vrstern , are taking the bit In their mouths and selecting ma chines quietly withoul rtghrd tosalary _ , pre ferring to allow the nialipra to come to them rather than bother the manufacturers about a position. This ntato ot affairs has been brought about by the reduction of price In wheels. Heretofore makers figured the servIces - Ices of a racing man In ivlth the cost of theli product , but now the puCllc has refused to bo guided by the work ot o-.raclni ; man1 oh any particular wheel1 when It comes to purchas ing , and In many cases will not purchase wheels of concerns who support racing terms , knowing full well thaV'they'arc compelled to pay the expense of such teams when they purchase the wheel , The Nebraska Mcllne Plow company has offered to donate two cars of cinders to the vhculmeu of Omaha to be used lu putting a. cinder surface on tlio Flo'renco cycle fatti his spring , provided tUo wheulmcci will payer or the hauling of them from the company's plant to the path. The Atsoclated Cycling club should take up this matter at once and itart subscription lists fb Jviy for the haul- UK of tlieso cinders.

Wll 1ST AM ) ITS i'OLI.OVlillS .Short Still * ) nml Itotury Dlnenrilii t.'ililrr I'lrc. Of the many short suit Ideas which havi been brought forward during the last fev years , there seem to bo several' which hnvi come to stay. These may bo briefly outllnei ns follows : Leading the top ot a suit It which there Is no honor ; leading a low can In a plain suit to show general strength am to encourage the partner to piny a forwari game , especially In trumps , and leading weal trumps In hands which are above the average ago In plain suits , especially If ono suit Is practically established nnd Is accompanied by a c.trd of re-entry in another suit. Another method coming Into general' use Is a retun to the old Idea of playing weak two-card siilti down to show no more. Instead ot to cal for truiros. A wtiUt authority at hand states Hint this was the common practice up to 1835 , and was contained In many text books before that period. It was llentlnck who proposed to change the meaning of this play to calling for a trump lead Instead of asking for a force , but modern players are waklnj. , to the fact that , while the trump signal Is now rarely used , playing suits up or down may bo practiced In over/ suit on every deal , The Idea of showing general strength by the had of ft low card In a plain suit orlgl natctl with the old Manhattan club In New York , and It was undoubtedly n great factor In their success. When this Idea Is adoptei the details of the system must bo n matter of agreement between the players. Some players use any card below the eight as at Indication of general strength , while others stop nt the four or five. The old Manhattai Idea was to stop at eight , nnd It Is only more recent experiments which have led some teams to go a ? low as live. * More or less has cleared In recent whls , [ columns on file rotary tlheard , some uphold ' Ing It and others ! denouncing It as a prlvati ' convention. The following from the pen o C. D. P. Hamilton seems to contain the opl tome ot the subject : "The rotary discard Is clearly not a 'private convention. ' No ordoi of play , no matter how arbitrary or how gen crally unknown , can bo stigmatized as a 'prl vale convention' If the play Is announeei and explained to those against whom It Is tf bo used. The rotary discard , however , wouli not come under this head , for It Is a form o discard that has been In vcguo more or Ics. for some time. It has been dlscussc-d am analyzed In various whist circles and h print for a year or more. It has been glvca o practical test In many clubs and 'ias bcci found , I believe , to be either useless or a trick'loser , except In the single end coin piratlvely rare situation , when partner makes the original lead of the four trumps. Tin object of t'lo iplay then Is , ot course , to enu ble the partner of leader to designate posl lively the suit he wishes led and not leave partner to guess between two suits , ns tht original method of discarding oftc'ii ' doe.s in this particular situation. The arbitrary ar rangemcnt of the suits , spades , hearts , club and diamonds Is well known , but I have no doubt that the arrangement of suits , as a bridge whist , Is mush more familiar will some teams , which Is , spades , club.3 , dla mends and hearts , and It would be perfectly fair for a team ! to use this order If they In formed their adversaries of the change. " Mr. H. F. Foster is looked upon as one ol the best Informed and most vigorous writers on the game c * whist. He is aiso the fore most advocate of what Is callej common ser.DB whist. His reputation Is such that he should be doubly 'careful not to write any but the best on the game , but bis zeal for his system and his nntlpathy to the long suit game leads him sometimes to contribute some very poor material for the paper. ? . As a simple we give the following. In the Rochester' Port-Express of December 24 Hamilton publishes the following hand : Spades North : C , 3. Kast : K Q , 10 , 9 , S 4 , 2. South : 7 , 5. West : A.

Some of them never heard of Wine of Cardui ; some think they must suffer because they are women ; some are being treated by incompe tent doctors ; others just put off taking Wine of Cardui from day to dly. In the meantime they all suffer-tor- tures from falling of the womb , whites , painful or ' irregular menstruation. It is dreadful' think of a good woman in pain making herself and family unhappy , when she can be relieved so easily. Wine of Cardui cures such troubles. It permanently relieves nine out of ten of the worst cases. It does this work quietly at home. It will cure you. TAHLEQUAH , I. T. , Sept. 15th , 1897. I could find no relief from falling of the womb until I tried Wine of Cardui. I had suffered for a long time , but the Wine gave me almost instant relief. If I had known of it before I would hav ? saved myself much suffering. I have told many women about Wine of Cardui since I used it , and every one who has tried it found much relief. A. E. HORN. TYLER , Tex. , Dec. 4th. I have been a great sufferer , and consulted doctor after doctor , one of whom performed an operation , but none of them did me any good , and I suffered on for sixteen years. Finally I heard of McElrce's Wine of Cardui and Thedford's Black Draught , and it proved to be the grandest thing on earth. It has done for me what all the doctors could not do , and I am glad of an opportunity to proclaim it to the world for the bene LADIES' ADVISOR * DEPAIITMENT. fit of others who are suffering.
