Louisviluc, Aug. 30, 1803. Special' Croatia Correepondence.No more re markable a bicycle haa, been made than the oae owned and ridden by a negro boy ia Bardstown, Ky., by the name of John Pasa, for he made, with his own heads, every part aad piece of it, and, at that, aot out of pieces of old bicycles, but oat of "raw materkuV-old iron, gas piae,'ieaeiag wire, old buggy tires aadtlwNBe. Osaakkriag the. faet that Paeh had ao mechanical traialagaad very few took the achievement ia simply aurveknie aad stamps the young man aa a genius la a mechanical way. . Two yearn ago the bicycle fever struck Bardetowa with great: fury, and Pash, being thea about tweaty or twenty-one year old determined to have a machine. The buyiag of oae was far beyond hla aseaaa, aad so he resolved to try hie hand at making it, as he always had a fond nees for "tinkering," aa he callait. He had already improvieed a email ahopia the rear of the little house where he and his mother lived, and with aa excuse of a forge and bellows and a pile of old iron he went to work. At the end of one year and two months he appeared on the streets of Bardstown and astonished the people there by a bicycle of home manufacture. "I made the wheels first," he said. "The rims are some old buggy tires that I flattened out a little and made smaller, aad the Urea you see .are pieces of an okl hose sewed over the rims. Then I made the spokes out of fencing wire. The Mies was lata o' trouble. It took me two weeks io bore through a piece of wrought Iron. Then I made the frame out of pieeeaot old iron and gaa pipes, aad the sprocket was filed out of a round piece of wrought iron. The chain waa the most trouble.. It's made out of a piece of steel buggy tire by chiseling out the Halts and leaving the upper end open so as to damp 'em into these little round connecting pieces here. The pedal criinks, too, are wrought iron, and the i pedals are iron, with wood, instead of rubber, as a foot-rent." In addition, the machine has "coast era" and did have a brake until with the advasoe ialyheeHia when brakes were thought useless, 'aad. John,' of course, kept up with the style and discarded his brske. In a word, it is a complete safety bicycle, having every part that the high grado wheels havo except the ball bear ings. NEBRASKA'S TENNIS CHAMPIONS. Two Out of ThrtMi of Them Arc Jolly KnglUhmen, ftoa't You Knew. Of the three men who hold the tennis championships of the state, two are EugMmM) Charles Sidney CuHlngham, of Omaha, of whom it Is said, that he never lost a single sot within the state, on equal terms, until last month, Is the son of a well-to-do brewer, of Ipswich, England. In 1884 and 1885 ho won handicap prises in hla club tournament, and Bgain in 1887 ho was second In the open singles at the Holkham park tournament, held "on tho Dukoof Norfolk's grounds at -Norfolk. In the earn year he carried off three prises in mlxod doubles with Miss L. A. Blow, at Ipswich, Fellxtown fjdBhrublard park. At Fellxtown ho Won the eastern counties championship in singles. Mr, Cullingham won the Nebraska championship in 1801 at Hastings. Ho retained It in 1802 in this city, and this year at last month's tournament in Omaha. Ho haa nearly twonty-flvo prises. Conrad Hubert Young, of Omaha, was born at Forest Hill, near London. He has played tonnls In Omaha for tho past two or threo years. Ho is also good cricket player, Deniso, Larimoro Conovcr Dcnlso, tho, last of tho trio of champions, waa .born; In Omaha. Ho has played tennlsoaly.a' couple of seasons. CORBETT ANDMCAULftWC. The latter the Popular Idol Hints HnU llvan'n UethraMemeat. At somo period of hie career, it la, hoped not distantly remote, Jim Corbett1 will acquire common seneo enough to rcftllzo tho advisability of keeping hla own mouth shut, and of trotting somo ono who is better qualified to do his talking for him; Bad breaks havo been mado by him so frequently that it is difficult to recall them, but as ho keeps on making them, it 1b needless almost to do so. Tho latost omanation from Cor bott Is a statement to tho effect that ono of tho reasons why ho will not right at Roby, Iml, under tho auspices of the Columbian club of Chicago, ia because the consummation of a match there would boaeJit Jack McAullffo. CorbeHt says, and with much truth, that the lightweight champion was urged to go to Europe aad secure Mitchell's signa ture to the Chicago contract, and his reward would be a $10,000 purse, to fight Jimmy Carroll a virtual gift. All this is a' fact, but there is no gdd reason why Corbett should make lu hostility to McAuliffe the vehicle of an excuse for not fighting Mitchell in Chicago. Very few prise fighters can boast of having such a large, powerful and wealthy constituency as McAuliffe. He is a pugilistic idol, so to speak, and since Sullivan's dethronement ho h'as stepped into: the affections of those who were the most enthusiastic of the ex champion's supporters. For Corbett to declare himself against McAuliffe so boldly means in substance that he re garda himself in a sense above the pooplo with whom his profession justi fies the association of his name. Prise righting ie a sport, but Corbett evidently desires to ignore the people who are hia moat ardent patrons and supporters. Sporting News. THE -BRUTAL PRIZE FIQHT. A Wall Twmm m New OrUcaa Pcacr Aal-ut tkc "Brort." Considering the article appended below New Orisaae must deem the chances for securing she Mitchell-Corbett contest aa A No. 1. The State; for Instance, takes the M cCluskey-Sullivan racket as a teat for a coluaaa editorial, and among other thinge these charges are printed: "3ul livan, however, ia no different from his class. Niaeteen-twentieths of the brutes who make big mouey by prise righting, and whom the country disgraces itself by lifting iato national notoriety, indeed, in, after a fashion, apotheosizing, are per sonal cowards; men utterly destitute of that noble and generoua spirit which fires the heart of a truly brave man, who is ever ready to slake his life ia defence of hb honor or of the wronged, Nor is this to be said only ot modern prise fighters. It is stated by all the historians that tho prise fighters who took part in the Grecian and Roman gamea were notoriously unfit for soldiers, being generally devoid ot the courage to encounter the dangers of the battle field. And yet, it is the proud distinction o New Orleans that, of late years, she baa become the arena wherein these creatures meet to engage ia their brutal contests; hence, the Mecca, periodically, ot all the toughs, gamblers, thieves and sports who make up the following and worshippers of these gods ot the ring. We trust, however, the last ot these depraved and disgusting exhibitions has been witnessed here. The legislature of Louisiana should enact a most stringent law against prise fighting, and one that the New Orleana clubs as they call them selves, cannot evade under the pretense that they are giving glove contests; and, in the meantime, no good citizen ot New Orleans should give his countenance to any future exhibitions of this sort that may take place in a New Orleans areaa." iwmmrn One of tlie moit pofpulcmi Souvenlrai of tftae World Unfair is tl3 one uI Vera toy Hertxicloi'f tle great (Snavron. dyer, ttiaii k -vcalticatole cancl tiasefftAl aota-veasii-r Pn cixacl Pceri.liolclcai' -will toe ackwxx tea every -viaaltor to our atore on HWXonclca-y It iaa made off Alutrriintmnra, in tne form off a qitill, Iora't -Pcsil to art one A SIPBOIAb asAA ot HIGH FAST SPLICED oKw THE 50c QUAklTY, BLAGK New Autumn Dress, Goods. 100 Patterns 7 YardsForty-two Inch Novelty 75cper Yard, Or $4.50 to $5.25 a Pattern, . at $3.48, Abb J Pat Powers tolls an incident about LTom Burns of tho SprlngflokbbaBo ball club.

A WAR TIME REMINI8CENCE. Mike Kelly Waa Tempted Hut Stuck to the Brotherhood In the Knd. Those big fisted, rough-headed fel lows, the ball players, are sometimes sorely tempted to repudiate promises they havo made to play with certain clubs. Perhaps the greatest tempta tions ever placed before a ball player waa that offered "Mike" Kelly in the year of 1800, writes Michael Angelo Lane, and he adds this chapter of hitherto unwritten history to the chronicler ot the war of00. That year, those who follow baseball will remember, was the year of the brotherhood revolt, when the players deeerted the league and formed themselves into the league ot the players. Kelly had consented to Join the brotherhood. But A.G. Spal ding, believing that it he could induce ''the king" to return to the league the cause ot the brotherhood would be con siderably weakened, dispatched James A. Hart, who was then secretary of the Chicago club, to New York to sign Kelly for Chicago. When Mr. Hart asked Mr. Spalding how much money he was willing to put out in the deal the reply waa; "Go to New York and sign Kell." Mr. Hart took his depart ure at once without waiting to pack hia grip or even to take along a clean shirt. To secure an appointment with Kelly without attracting attention waa tho first necessity. This Mr. Hart cleverly did by dropping a word in Michael's ear thus: "Meet me in half an hour on Eighth avenue." Kelly took the hint. Eight avenue waa as safe as a wilderness so far aa either man being known went. Entering a cafe the Chicago, man told Kelly he came on to sign him and asked him how much be wanted. "Kel. re plied that Spalding had made 110,000 out of his release to Boston and he wanted that back. Then he wanted M.000 a year pay. Mr. Hart agreed to give him the money if he consented to its investment in real estate that could not be sold. This1 was agreeable to Kelly, but he first wished to consult his family, JIo had an agreement with the brotherhood which ho would not break unadvisedly. To this Mr. Hart agreed but in the interim telegraphed for Presi dent Spalding, who went at once to Now York. Kelly had given Mr. Hart a copy of hia brotherhood agreement and thla document, pending a reply, from Kelly's relatives, waa, submitted to Howe and Hummel, famous New York players. Howe and Hummel's opinion A. liiwiwi Monday, 045 oenti g DORSEY niai-iiae ar (S'trkk'T. was that tho agreement was binding and advised tho Chicago mon to make no contract with tho player. But whon Kelly returned ho told them that his relatives had advised him, too, against dcsortlng tho brotherhood on tho ground that if ho did ho would be a traitor. And this deal tho greatest in tho history of baseball miiwod fire. Had Mr. Spalding's ruse succeeded, as it would had Kelly's agreement with the brotherhood been Icsb stringent, it is probablo that the brotherhood move ment would havo died in its birth. Kelly's conduct in tho cose was noble through and through. Ho not only kept his promise to his friends and sacrificed his $14,000, but he never re vealed the fact that the offer had been mado. CORBETT-MITCHELL FIQHT. The KnglUhman Thinks Hli Chance for Winning Are Oood. ThutthoCorbett-Mitchell fight is not very far off is brought to mind by tho fact that Corbett hus gono to his train ing quarters and that Mitchell is dally threatening to sail for this country. Tho champion is ul ready taking light exercise, and will in tho courso ot a few weeks start on his long walks and begin his training in earnest. If Corbett comes to tho ring fit and as well as he was tho night he fought John L.'Sullivan, patriotic lovers of the art need have no fear of the result. The hardest part of Corbett's work to retain the title and gain the accompany ing emoluments will be his training. If he trains hard and conscientiously; it will all be over but the shouting when he shies his castor in the ring. With both men fit and well Mitchell haa a dying chance. Barring accident or sickness it is 1 to 15 Corbett, 40 tol Mitchell. All Corbett has to do ia to train. Will he do it! Very likely he will. He is a sensible fellow. He knows the value of the title of champion. It has been shown him conclusively at the box-office with his theatrical ven ture last season. It has proved very valuable property ana no will UKe no chance of letting it slip because of any laxity in the training. If his constitu tion will stand training, anu mere la no reason to think it will not, it is almost a sure bet that he will come to" the ring fit to do his best. Such being the case Mitchell money won't be worth 90 cents on the dollar. The English, boxer thinks he has a good chance to win or ho would not have posted 110,000. He deserves credit for his pluck and perseverance in get ting backing and making a match to fight the best man in all America, if not in tho world. ' Where there la ono reason for believ ing that Mitchell has a chance to whip Corbett there aro a dozen for believing that Corbett will not only whip, but that the job will bo a very easy one.

That is, on public form, or, in other words, on their past perfor mances, and it "figures" a stako horse against a selling plater. Corbett is the stako horse and Mitchell the soiling plater, Mitchell's stock of conceit must be colossal in its dimensions or ho him self would see that thoro is nothing in his post performances that warrants him in thinking that ho has even a shadow of a chanco with tho American. What Mitchell Haya. Gharlio Mitchell writes to a friend in New York that ho will sail for New York tho second week In September. Says Mitchell: "I think my trip will be like a wild gooso chase, as far as secur a match with Corbett, who evidently does not want to fight, but is compelled to keep up his reputation by making the American public believe he does. I want to fight Corbett, not out of any animosity, you know, but simply, be cause I fancy he is hot a marvel by any moans, and I am confident I can defeat him. It seems strange, does it not, that Corbett should agree to fight me in the Columbian Athletic club, and then after instructing President O'Mal loy to draft articles for me to sign after I have shown overy disposition to ight, for him to back down and for an ruruso name another club. An acre lot would suit me if the purse was largo. enough. I am beastly sick of Corbett's vapor, ings, and I am sure the American public must be disgusted. I shall be in America?, ready to fight, but I shall offtect to Corbett naming the club the battle shall be.decided.ln." Weight aad Walt. A story was related laat week at the expense of a novice who was delegated to get the entries for the program man who had omitted those in one race, says the Breeder and Bportama. Entering the Blood-Horse Association secretary's room rather timidly, ha stated the cause ot hia visit, The busy official motioned the novice into the other room and remarked: "Find the entry book in there.
