A REMARKABLE BICYCLE.
Mw Jska PMh, m Nsr Hjr or Maids.

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.

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.

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."

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

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.

race horses. 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."

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. Weight for age."
The visitor visibly reddened, and hia
dander was up as he declared: "But
Mr. H. ia in a hurry, I cannot 'wait
for age' oranythlngelse." And the novice
thought he had struck a lunatio asylum
as the roars of laughter echoed and re
echoed throughout the building. Tbia
is an actual occurrence, and can be
vouched for.
