Two event * of considerable Importance !
broke In upon the slumbers of the wheeling
multitude during the week. The first was
a clump In the price of chalnlces wheels ,
nnd close with It came decisions to revive '
cycle shows during the winter.
The cualnrcsB wheel combine , which
( Started In qulto cheerily last spring with a
century and a quarter rate , very suddenly
found the pace too hot for the multitude.
They discovered before the daisies bloomed
that the price did not grow on the bushca.
Chain wheels were ctlll In public favor.
A good ono was to bo had for from $30
down. Dealers had cycles to burn. The
multitude was well supplied and novelties
were at a discount. Oil top ot thte came
a decided slump In wheeling , both for pleas
ure nnd profit. A3 a result the chalniV s
did not take public , fancy and compara
tively few wcro marketed.
The Pope Manufacturing company , which
practically controlled the chalnlcss wheel
through patents one ! which fixed the price
at $125 , now acknowledges having made a
blunder and cuts $50 oft the price. The
chain Columblas and Harttords have also
dropped to $50 and $40. Regarding the cut
Colonel Pope says "that It was a matter t
much , regret with him that such a move wan
necessary , ns ho bollevc-s that there will bo
many failures In the trade In consequence
ot the constant hammering down of prices.
Only the biggest c6nccrns can afford to
inako really first class wheels at the prices
now ruling , nnd even they will bo scarcely
able to come out clear. So far as the trade
Itself Is concerned , ho expects to see the
nmallcr manufacturers succumb and the ul
timate salvation of the others and of the
retailers will , ho thinks , be in the develop
ment of the motor carriage Industry. "
Whatever may bo said agalnnt the quality
of.chca ? wheels It must be admitted that
from a selling standpoint they have been
tilt competitors of the so-called high grade
machine and to them cau be traced the
cause to a largo extent for the drop In
prices. Through them It was demonstrated
that the difference between thocost , and
nolltng price of a wheel has been tremendous
in east years , all of which came out of the
purchaser. Costly racing teams may have
made some difference , but not enough to
double the price of a wheel. For two years
past there has been a tendency to shade
the prices on wheels to cash customers , but
it was only within the lust season that the
prices of standard machines were openly cut.
With competition on all sides It was a fore
gone conclusion that there would have been
a-come-down In prices for 1899 and the only
eurprlse Is that the reduction has been so
great. They have been placed within the
reach of all classes and , of course , the man
ufacturers are looking forward to Increased
business to reimburse them In part for the
excess profits that have been cut off.
With the exception of a little more added
weight which has been found necessary for
general , riding , chain wheels have not
changed much and it is generally .agreed
that they have reached a stage of perfec
tion that can hardly bo Improved upon. The
question of 30-Inch wheels boa'practically
been settled by the manufacturer , .who. has
Icarncjl by experience that they are''not so
practical as the 28-4qch wheels. Most of the
Ibtg concerns will keep the 30s in stock tc
fill special .orders , but It la Iho opinion ol
experts thatthouse ot them will always
bo limited
'Now York , Chicago , Philadelphia ant
Denver are. to have cycle shows during the
winter'and all other line towns are llkcl ;
to follow. This announced Intention sot :
asldo tbo rule of the National Cycle Boare
ot Trade , which decided against shows i
year ago. But tbo demands of business an
of greater Importance than the edict ot i
few manufacturers , and It will bo dlsrc
garded. It not abrogated. A Chicago manu
facturer who Is not a member of the board
cays a majority of the makers composing 1
are In favor of shows ; they have been over
ruled by the executive committee , which I
the governing body and Is controlled by i
'few magnates who would like to.see . th
bicycle Industry controlled by tliemselve
and who think that shows help the maker
of lesser magnitude to keep alive. Thi
policy. If continued , will , ho prophesies
eauso a do'fcctlon In the board which will re
'suit In two or three of the makers beln ;
arrayed against all the others. As an lllus
tratlon of the good done by shows a peculla
circumstance Is related by a New Yorker
who has followed cycling for years and tin
studied the present situation thoroughly. H
fays that a motor carriage maker who ha :
had his product on the market a year ha
sold less than n dozen in this country , bu
bo sent a carriage to the Paris show am
there received orders for nineteen. Thli
sanlo advocate points also to the fact tha
In England , whore two shows are hold a
London every year , there has been no sue !
elump In the price of bicycles as In thi
States , and the trade there is healthier gen
trally.
The row between the League of America !
' Wheelmen and tho.newjy organized Amerl
can Cycle Racing association Is to bo alree

B. Potter of the- league declines to discuss
the suit. P. T. Powers of the Racing asso
ciation Intimates that the attitude of Pres
ident Potter'and Chairman Mott Is duo to
the charge that the association Is blamed
by thorn for the secession of the loading
racers , a charge which Mr. Powers denies.
Mr. Powers says : "The Institution of this
suit is the culmination of a series of at
tempted Interferences on the part of Chair
man Mott with our operations In cycle rac-
ig. So long as the attacks on us were con
ned to minor matters and did not serl-
usly hamper our meets we paid little at-
itUloti , but when In his recent communlca-
on to Henry Sturney , the secretary of the
nternatlonal Cycling association , the League
a a I rmin tried to Injure our standing am
rcdlt with the European associations am
aclng men , wo decided that It was about
me to Interpose an objection ot a decided
ature. The explanation , of the attitude of
halrman Mott nnd President Potter toward
ur association lies In the fact that we are
harged with having been responsible for
he recent breakaway of the leading riders
rom the League of American Wheelmen.
The uutruthfulncss of this charge Is plainly
pparent to those who are conversant with
ho real facts connected with the doclara-
lon of Independence on the part of the rac-
ni ? men. We shall continue to promote
nects , and as soon as a now organization
a formed wo will apply to It for sanctlona
vhenpver we have occasion and also observe
ts rules and regulations. The suit against
ho League officials personally will be forced
o an Issue and our lawyers believe that the
trongest kind of a case Is In their posses-
Ion. "
Bronzed and weatherbcaten , "but " vigorous
and bright-eyed , there arrived In Now Yort
ast Saturday two cyclists who , with the
possible exception of Thomas Stevens , have
ourod more of the world awheel than anj
other riders. These cyclists are Mr. ant
Mrs. II. Darwin Mcllrath of Chicago , who
eavlng that city on April 10 , 1803 , have
since then been almost continuously In thi
saddle , except during their voyage acres :
the Pacific and Atlantic oceans.
Accompanying the Mcllraths , as baggage
were the precious bicycles with which the ;
had begun the Journey more than three ant
a half years before , and which had bcei
; lielr solo constant companions on a trip o
nearly 30,000 miles , exclusive of water voy
ages. Except for repairs to the front fork :
of one and two changes of tires on both , th
wheels had been unaltered since the start
Both are men's diamond frame machines
that ridden ty Mrs. iMcIlrath wolghlni
twenty-six pounds , or one pound less thai
than Its mate.
Twelve countries were traversed by thi
tourists , Including the trip from Chicago t <
San Francisco , In which ten states wor
crossed , and which occupied fifty-two daya
Through Japan , China , Burmah and ludli
part of the route followed was that orlg
Inally taken by Frank Lenz , a Plttshuri
cyclist , who mot death at the hands ot th <
Kurds while attempting to cross A ' nn
In many of the districts through which the :
passed the 'Mcllraths ' wore the first wh.i
cyclists since Lonz , and Mrs. Mcllrath was
repeatedly taken for the Plttsburger , tb
question frequently ( being asked , "Why , ha
Lcnz come iback again with his father ? '
Mr. Mcllrath being mistaken tor the father
From India the route was through Persia
Caucasus , Russia , Roumanla , Austria-Hun
gary , Germany , Prussia , France and Qrea
Britain. In many of the Asiatic province
the lives of the travelers were threateue
at almost every mile of the road , whll
throughout the trip hard work , Inconvenl
once , hunger and thirst wcro Intcrmlnglci
with lavish entertainment and counts/ .
Despite the Incessant riding and th'
hardships encountered , Mrs. Mcllrath galne
In weight. She weighed at the start ninety
five ponds and tipped the beam today at 11
pounds. On the other hand , her husband'
weight decreased from 172 to 165 pounds.
It Is Impressive that the best road the
found In all the world was the GOO-mll
road"to Calcutta , ibullt In forgotten ages b
the Delhi mogul. This Is a valuable con
trlbutlon to knowledge. The mogul and hi
dusky 'Macadams ' little dreamed whi
strange vehicles would spin over the greo

number of tricks they can do Is apparentl
endless , standing on one another's shoulder :

On .last Tuesday , November 1 , the seaso
for quail shooting opened and sorno bags c
these luscious birds have been brought I
by the hunters , but several wceka wll
elapse yet before quail hunting will rrac
Us climax. That Is , providing that It wil
bo several weeks before the first snow c
the season comes. Mr. Quail Is a cunnln ;
shy , modest little cuss and abides in th
thickest ot underbrush. Even with the he )
ot a good dog it is dlllicult to rout hit
out , or it ho ts discovered to nail him be
fore ho scurries off to new shelter c
whirrs away through the leaves. It take
a snow storm to make him Anything Ilk
an easy victim , for the snow beats dow
tbo leaves and underbrush and thus ile
privet ) him of his place of concealnien
Ho U a royal little bird at any atagu <
the game , however , and It takes u shot I
got him.
Thcro are plenty ot quail all tbroug
Nebraska this year. Early in the season , i
tar back as October , huntsmen declare
that tbo birds numbered twice aa many i
last wason. The biggest part of the
should still remain In the better know
hunting grounds of the state , for , the btre
have been given excellent protection. He ;
tu Douglas county they are quite plentlfu
despite the fact that a good many huntei
find difficulty in discovering them. Tl
big majority of these fieldsmen who doul
the statement that there are quail galoi
hereabouts are brought to tbli concluslc
In all probability because they lack a goc
dog , A dog Is absolutely necessary to fie
quail these days.
"During my rovlngs over the fields th
fall I have been twice as many quail th
season as last year , " mused Ed SImec
regarding thin. "A hunter uuut have a dc

Better , still , he should have two good dog
ono to scare up the birds and the other i
bis heels to retrieve. Accompanied b/
couple of canine , companions , A geol shot
can get a bag of quail any day , "
Reports are made to the effect that un
scrupulous and unconscionable hunters are
killing off the quail that Infest the city
parks. For example , a few days ago a
hunter was seen shooting the birds in
Rlvcrvlow park. The park commissioners
should take steps to prevent such depreda
tions , for certainly the city folk see too
little of the blrdllfe of the country to have
their opportunities In the parks extinguished.
Last week a great bunch oT hunters re
turned from the sandhills. Several weeks
were spent by a good many ot them and
others were content with iesdays. .
A good many local men will be out with
guns today , scouring the -country about
Omaha for quail.
Bill PIxley Is having great sport about
Falrlnburg , Judging from the basket ot
luscious birds and the following communica
tion received from him by the sporting
editor :
FAIRMONT. Neb. , Nov. 4. To the SportIng -
Ing Hdltor of The Bee : Just came In from a
day's quail shoot In the country and ns we
had pretty good luck I send you by cxprcsi
a little basket of quail. Dr. Ashby and
George Carson of this place were with me
and we bagge-d thirty-five nice , fat ones. :
tell you the hunters hero are true sportsmen
and refuse to kill more than a dozen each.
, Qunll are very plentiful In thin section , and
I nm having great sport. We were out chas
ing jack rabbltawith greyhounds yester
day , nnd got more than wo could carry. Am
going after duck a little later , and will scud
you some , If I have good luck. Hoping you
will enjoy the quail , I am , sincerely yours ,

yet been definitely laid.
Another organization which promises t
do active work during the winter Is th
chess and checker club , formed last wee !
at the Young iMcn's Christian Assoclatloi
rooms. Temporary ofllcers were appolntci
aa follows : P. W. Mosher. chairman ; J

burn and Wills , committee on bylaws
Another meeting will be held Tuesda'
night.
David Janowskl , the famous chess player
who Is to contest a match with Jackson W
Showalter of Kentucky , arrived last week 01
the French liner , La Touralne from Havre
The match Is for $750 a side.
Janowskl was born In Russian Poland , bu
be acquired hla skill In chess In Paris
where he has met all of the more notei
players , Including Plllsbury , Laukor am
Tarrasch. In the recent tournament It
Vienna ho outplayed both Tarrasch ani
Pinsbury In the final rounds , winning thlrc
prize. Plllsbury and Tarrasch tied for firs
place , and Tarrasch won In the play off.
Ho says that he believes Plllsbury. the
American champion , and Laskcr , who nov
enjoys the distinction of being the cham' '
plon ot the world , are both superior It
strength to Tarrasch. In comparing Pills
bury and Laskcr , ho Bald the former wai
unquestionably bettor ot combinations , bu
Lasker has a sounder style and would prob
ably stand the better chance In a match ,
On the trip Janowskl , on ono occasion
played a game of chess with Dr. Marlon , thi
ship's surgeon , without seeing the board , am
at the same time he took part In a garni
of whist. After this match with Sbowalter
Janowskl will make a tour of the prlnclpa
cities of this country , giving exhibitions , am
perhaps praying some matches.

WINE FROM EXPERT'S ' VIEW
Mrs. Trona Ennico Wait Talks of the Bervico
of the Grape's Juice.
PART OF A POLITE EDUCATION
Correct Trcntmcnt of AVIne nnit Ar-
ranKcinunt of the Tnlilc Xvecmiarx
to MuUc the ttnjoymciit of
Either Perfect.
"Outside of those whoso business It Is
to kuow the nature ot the fluids themselves
I do not bcllovo thcro Is a baker's dozen of
men and women In each city who know how
to properly servo wines , " said Mrs. Frona
Kunloo Watt , the California wlno expert.
"It Is knowledge that belongs to the polite
code and should be a part of every ono's
education.
"Thoro are arbitrary rules for such serv
ice. A well trained butler would expect to
lose his place If he offered any kind of red
wlno below 70 degrees , which Is really blood
heat. This Includes the hot , sweet wines ,
such as port , etc. , as well as the burgundies
! and clarets. Even an ordinary wine , such
JIB you buy of the grocer , Is much Improved
by such treatment.
"Cold causes the coloring matter In red
wlnea to precipitate , leaving It pale , and
the finer others composing the bouquet and
flavor escape and all the tannin and other
acrid , harsh Ingredients are painfully evi
dent. There should bo no difficulty in ob
taining the proper temperature If Eomo one
will only bo thoughtful enough to sot the
bottle behind the stove when the dinner
begins to cook. This gently and gradually
warms the wiuo and by the time the roast
comes on it Is qulto ready to servo.
"No sensible woman will order wines
from the dealer the day she Intends using
them , because It Is fatigued from n journey
and needs at least twenty-four hours' rest
after being driven over the cobble stones.
No ouo should ever think of drinking a
wine In loss than a week's tlmo after It has
be-on bottled , because It Is then 'bottlo sick'
and must bo given tlmo to recover from the
extraordinary experience passed through.
Air , that has been so necessary to the life
of the wlno up to the tlmo It Is bottle-
ripe , now becomes Its most deadly enemy by
Ita presence setting up all sorts ot sub-
ftrmonlaUonB. It naturally follows that a
bottle should bo emptied the same day It Is
opened , and If purchased by the- gallon the
wine should bo bottled at once , laid on Ita
sldo In a cool , dark place and left undis
turbed until required for the table.
How to Trent White Wliie.i.
"Generally speaking , whlto wines arc
treated the same as red , but In serving the
temperature should be as low as G5 degrees
really Just above freezing point. Let me
say at once that i consider It a crime gas-
tronomlcally to put Ice In any wine. Really
a person should get ninety days for such
an offense. The addition of sugar and water
proclaims from the housetops that the
drinker knows absolutely nothing about the
fine art of wlno drinking. It Is bad form
of the most pronounced degree. Besides
this , It ruins any good quality the wine
might have and nils the etomach with a
mixture It very eenslbly refuses to make
welcome. Remember that wlno should please
the eye , flatter the nose- , quench thirst and
respect your head. If It docs not do these
things , then by all means drink water. "
"Aro there any special foods to be con
sidered 'in the service of wine ? "
"A French hostess always presents hei
guests with a salad lettuce preferably-
plenty of ollvo oil , but llttla vlnegai
or sail In the dressing. Thla comes Imine-
' dlately after soup and will disguise any flav
In the -wlno to follow. The Italians Invari
ably drink water with maccaronl or anj
other paste , because It brings out nil of th (
defects In the wine. So does a cracker 01
a elp of black coffee. I always , when testIng -
Ing wines , clean the palate with a mouth
ful of cracker , followed by a drink ot water
This puts sense of taste on edge and onablei
me to discover any faults the wlna maj
have. Nuts , bread and butter or cheese als <
create a fictitious and favorable palate , hence
their use at the close of the meal , wher
j the sweets tvro likely to Increase the ap
parent acidity of the wine. "
"Is there any choice In glasses ? "
Table DecorntloiiH ami Appetite.
"Assuredly. The eye has much to do will
our enjoyment at table. So well Is thli
understood abroad that there was for yean
a standing bet of 100 In the old Beef
steak club of London , founded by Vet
. Wellington , that no one could eat a quari
of claret out of a soup dlah with a spoon
| : Many tried It , but were Invariably nau-
"
j seated , and the better they liked claret th (
Bicker It made them. Why wouldn't yoi
enjoy champagne served In a tin cup ? :
will tell you why ; It is because the eye 1 :
cheated. Half the pleasure In champagne
is in the sparkle and bubble and fizz , al
of which Is lost If you do not use the old
hollow-stemmed , Roman patera glass , thlt
as an egg-shell and clear as crystal. Al
red wines require round-bowled , Blende :
' stemmed glasses , to show up their rlcl
j ! color , and the velvety smoothness and bed ;
is much nioro evident when the glass 1 :
very thin. It should have no ornament
With white wines a slight tinge of green 1 :
allowable , and a tiny gold band or a dell'
cute tracery of the same is in good taste
because the yellow tinge ot the wine ii
increased. Sherry should be served In i
tapering glass to ehow its amber beauties
while hocks and madeira may bo slppot
from a fancy German glass , provided then
is not too much ornamentation.
The bane ot the modern table is execs :
ot color and decoration , The tlmo devotee
to a meal belongs by right to the stomach
and the other senses should be subordinate !
to appetite. It distresses me to eat of
platea that I would enjoy seeing hung ot
the wall or used as n frieze or shelf decora
tlon. Nor do I believe in the dim light ;
and ribbons often used. A handsome can
delabra and some choice flowers , with ai
excellent quality of napery , porcelain , stive
and crystal , not too ornate , is par excellence
lenco the 'right way to dine. In euch BUT
roundlngs , in the bosom of ono's own family
