A HkjrclUU DUeaie.
Ono evil traceable to bicycling is tho
continued stoop which has already de
clared itself in many whoelmen, a result
common in the less strongly built bicyc
lists of tho Continent as to havo found
its way into classification as tho "Kypho
sis bicycliBtarum."
Tho dorsal curvature posteriorly which
used to bo rare in boya under 14 years of
ago, is, now that tho bicycle is so largely
used, very frequently met with, partic
ularly among those young bicyclists
whose spinal column is developing more
rapidly than tho llgamonta and muscles
and in whoso case, therefor tho equilib
rium between those parts is more or leas
disturbed.
Were it merely an unsightly deformity
tho stoop in question ought to bo com
bated in every way; but confirmed dorsal
curvature posteriorly has consequences
of its own quito mischievous enough to
call for immediate counteraction. Tho
displacement, embarrassed functional
activity, and arrested or diseased devel
opment of these organs, which kyphosis
inovitabiy induces, are all too serious to
warrant tho slightest neglect in rocdjr-rrjvyjg
UK I HUM.
Exercise of a kind to accustom the
spinal column to an action directly
antagonistic to the inclination forward
of tho bicyclist's attidudo is what is
needed. The use of tho Indian clubs or

MISCELLANEOUS SPORT.
Choymkl ve. litiiltniuoni.
Choynski and Fitzsimmons havo been
matched to fight before some club for a
stake and purse of 115,000. Experts say
this will be the greatest fight of tho
century. Fitzsimmons has been beating
all the middleweights 'easily, but this
time he goes against a man who has
traveled in tho heavyweight .class, who
is perhaps the best general ja the ring
save Mitchell, and whose gameness has
never been questioned. Those who
ought to know best say that this time
Fits will have his hands full and that
the Californlan will give him the battle
of hia life.

buttle will bo fought. It is not likely
that the Roby club will glvo tho purse.
Tho recent ntiulrs before this organiza
tion havo been rank failures and it Is
not likely that its managers will risk
I tutting up tho big purso Fitz und
3hoynaki will demand. But wherever
theso two como together tho fancy from
ull points of the compass will gather to
witness their meeting. Indeed thero nre
many admirers of the gnmo of fisticuffs
who would rather seo Choynski und
FitzsimmonB como together than
Mitchell and Corbott. They beliovo tho
latter may prove a walkover for ono of
tho contestants, but when Choynski und
Fitz meet they feel sure it will bo a long
and bitter ana well contested battle.
I'rtn jMrkmin oil the Hltuiitlon.
Peter Jackson is tho lion of tho hour
in London, Just now. When usked by 11
reporter to give tho reason why Corbott
preferred meeting Mitchell rather than
him, ho had this to sny;
"I cannot say that I can. Probubly
ho had reasons of his own. Ah far us I
urn concerned, however. I was always
ready und willing to tight Jim Corbott
for tho championship of tho world, und
my manager, 'Purson' Duvics' vulnly
endeavored to got on 11 mutch with 'Cor
bott, but tho latter chose to givo tho
preference to Mitchell, which was his
privilege, no doubt, to decido as ho did."
"Havo you any object Ions to giving your
opinion as to tho probable winner of tho
forth-coming. Corbott-Mitchcll fight?"
"Yes, I havo; but I havo no objections
to tolling you what I think of tho two
men. Oorbett is unaucatlonably. .very
clover and strong, and no has, moKpver,
height and length of reach in his favor.
Furthermore ho has defeated Rman who
was looked upon us almost invincible,
and it must bo admitted that, that is a
freut thing in his favor. But remember,
consider no man invincible. Then,
again, as regards Mitchell, I find that as
far as tho ring is concerned; everything
ho bus over said ho would do ho has
done, and dono it well, and whatever
others may say of him I bclieyo no
fnnier man over stepped into n ring.
lo has grit 'did science also, and Cor
bott will find him a hard man to do
feat." "Will you fight tho winner of that
match?"
"I can't say anything until tho fight la
over."
An Incident occurred nt this juncture,
which ia worth recording us showing tho
estimation in which Jackson is hold by
those with wbom ho comes in contract.
T. H. Iamay, of White Star line, appro
interviewed,' aaid: "I desiro to

said Mr. Ismay, "owing to tho fact that
you havo brought such an amount of
American gold with you to England."
Peter then saw the joko und enjoyed it
by luughing heartily.
Maury l'rlxv for Pviiiiunt Winner.
E. B. Tulcott, treasurer of tho Now
York club is quoted as saying: "At tho
fall meeting of tho National league and
American association, I will introduce
u meusuro to muko up a purso of 5,000
to bo contributed jointly by tho clubs
of the National league and American
ussociution, which shull bo divided us
follows: 12,500 to tho playere'of tho
first team at tho finish, 91,000 to tho
players o( tho second team, and 81,000
to the third. There aro soverul mug
nates who aro in sympathy with tho
idea, and who will aid in pushing it
through. Tho race is so close every
year that possibly u single error und tho
subsequent loss of a gamo may lose tho
championship. This, however, does not
muko tho second team much weaker
than tho first, and it should receive
nearlyas much credit. The players of
tho leading teams aro always doing their
level beat, and they should bo rewarded,
A team that wins tho pennant, of course,
comes in for general praiso and tho
players becomo heroes. But I think
they should receive a moro substantial
reward for their work. Also the second
and third teams, who havo undoubtedly
done their best. It is with this in view
that I propose to ask tho national league
and tho American association clubs to
offer a 15,000 purse. It may ,bo mot
with disapproval, but thero is no harm
in proposing tho schome."
Derby Aftermath.
"I mado him n rich man in two min
utes and thirty-six seconds, and that ia
all I got out of it." Thus said Garrison,
who rodo Boundless in the Derby. Tho
owner received $50,000. He gave Garri
son 1,000, and Garrison is wroth bo
cause It was not 15,000. What a mighty
man your jockey is! The horse did
nothing. It was the jockey. So tho
jockey thinks. What tho horso thinkB
it is impossible to ascertain. Tho rider
is tho person of consequence in a horso
nice. But what shall wo say of the
trainer who though long days of labor
und nights devoid of euso has developed
tho best running and staving qualities
thero aro in tho horso? Where does ho
como inr Put Garrison's proposit ion in
mother way. Ho admits that all tho
work ho did was .in two minutes und
thirty-sixseconds.' Is that luborentitlcd
to a compensation of 81,003? Thero aro
men who work two years instead of two
minutes and thirty-six seconds und their
compensation is not 81.0C0. Let it bo
admitted that tho jockey rodo with skill.
But is skilled luhorof this kind worth
8500 u minute, much less than 82,500 11
minute that Garrison thinks is its real
vuluo? If thero had been no weary wuit
ing at tho post Boundless might not
huyo been tho winner, ih which event
though Mr. Garrison exerted his skill to
tho utmost what would his compensa
tion bo? If the young man wants moro
money lot him look to tho bookmakers.
Their combined winnings because of Mr.
Garrison's alleged skill is fur in excess
of tho winnings of tho owner of Bound

Apropos rf Willard's production of
"The Profecsor's Love Story," now run
ning In Chicago, El wjn A. Uarron tays
in th Inter Ocean: "Wo think it is
one of tho most pitiable things conceiv
able in dramatic art thut tho fame of
thut rxqtiisito comedian, Joseph Jeffer
son, should be passed down to jMwtority
sustained by the rags and patches o'f
that wretched travesty of comedy, "Rip
Van Winkle." Notwithstanding tho
(net thut he plays other, hotter, und
moro difficult parts with consummate
skill und Indescribable charm, the public
has been taught to think of Mr. Jeffer
sen as the incarnation of tho vngalond
vulgarized by Mr. Bottcicatilt from
Washington Jrviug'H dreamy legend.
Tho high )Hwition in dramatic art is
defined not by 11 single star but by a
constellation, and Ih achieved not by tho
ideal acting of ono part but by tho ex
cellent interpretation of tunny; und the
actor determined to occupy tho piunaclo
towurd which his ambition guides him
must mount, not vault, to tho eminence.
Tho nctor must keep the public itwtiru
all tho time that he is capable, and that
he cannot do by holding too long to one
stj lo of performonce. Thero is so much
proof of this In the uunulsof tho modern
stage. Some of us remember what won
derful thingB wero tiredictcd of Frank
Mayo when It was thought he wus tho
best young romantic actor on tho stnge,
und when ho wus reckoned heir pre
sumptive to thn Shukespeureun estate.
It was said one time that ho bado fuir to
become tho Hamlet of tho American
stage, und soverul of his interpretations
of Shakespearean character wero prnined
in utmost extravagant terms. But in an
evil hoik that idyll of autumn leuvcs
and mosses and sylvan haunts und
wolves, "Davy Crockett," fell into hia
hands und tho future of Mr. Mayo was
trunstlgured in a coonskin cup and a
pair of buckskin leggings. Ho was
never nblo to disenchunttho public with
Davy Crockett sufficiently to enthrall
them with Hamlet or any othor noblo of
the drama. Thero is nut tho shadow of
doubt that ho was u fine uctor in tho
clussic roles, and it is moro than prob
nblo that ho would havo mudo high
reputation and enduring fnmo had lie
continued to net them, nor been betrayed
by tho siren voice of tho success that at
tended his presentation of "Davy Croc
kett." It wus impossible to vault from
tho uncouth mannerisms of the ignorant
backwoodsman to tho polished graces
and scholurly melancholy of tho l'rinco
of Denmark; und, if ho is anxious for
the. future, wo hope Mr. Willard will not
bo beguiled by tho populurity of "Tho
Professor's Lovo Story," which, wo re
peat, should be his pastime, not his de
pendence, babble tho box office us it

Au Oyiter Stew.
A well ilnijed nnd prosperous looking
cltlr.cn entered a well known oyster saloon
not far from Sixth and Chestnut streets
and culled for "a stew, rich and well done,
nnd," ho added, ''don't make the dish too
full." When the stow was" placed before
him, ho procredid to suuson It. First be
shook a salt castor over tho milky soup
about a dozen times; then ho gave a red
pepper bottle an equal number of dashes.
This ho followed by liberal qualities of vin
egar, sherry wine, Worcestershire sauce,
catchup nnd several dlppcrfuls of horso
radish, lie next broke up one dorcn water
crackers Into the stow and mixed the whole
business up into 11 sort of mush.
Having thoroughly stirred it together, ho
looked around nt tho astonished observers
and snld in a loud voice: "1'vo often won
dered why they put all theso things in front
of a fellow when ho calls for oysters. I've
now Riven tho thing n trial. I wanted to
t co what a stew would look Ilka with all of
'cm in It. Thin will cost me a quarter, nnd
I'll givo ft to anybody that'll eat tho
mess."
Nobody volunteered to earn tho dollar,
