Paper chasing on bicycles I * the hat new
thing In sport. A success-till and delightful
meet fcr this purpose was held In n Now
York suburb lately , and birring an accident
or two , collisions now nnd then being the
unattractive features of the sport , the enter
tainment wan a howling auccess.
The clmeo started about 11 n. m. , the usual
hour for a hunt , nnd the course , laid out by
the leaders , wag a most circuitous one.
All who took part , both men and women ,
were In cycling costume. The women were
In the neatest and most chic of costumes ,
with Bklrts Just clearing the ground , worn
over knickerbockers. Jackets worn atop vcuts ,
which In several case * worn of hunting pink.
1. o. , the brightest of scarlet and hats which
were dlstractliiRly coquettish and brc-Jinlng.
When the riders passed through a small
hamlet on route , with their bicycler "In full
gallop , " shall I say ? they created qulto a
Bcnsatlon In the small town.
In tholr onthuslaiim to bo In first nt the
finish , they violated the town ordinances , If ,
Indeed , the town wan possessed of nuch rules ,
In rcgjrd to fast riding , and passed through
the place Ilko a whirlwind ,
One foituro worth noting In regard to v
paper chase on bicycles those who wish to
see , but not take part In , the hunt , flml
themselves left very much "In arrears If they
attempt to follow In dog carts , victorias or
pliactona.
Of course , the more riders the greater
sport. And If the chase Is given by a club
It ndiU ) to the pliUurcsqueness of the scene.
Violets and white ribbon badges were worn
by a party which lately had a paper or hare
and hound chase on bicycles , and thcro
wore about fifty riders.
The party mot for a "hunt" breakfast at
high noon at the club house. Immediately
after the breakfast two of the best riders ,
with leather bags filled with bits of paper ,
acted as the "hares. "
They were Riven a good start and rushed
forth across hill and valley , turning this
way and that , and dropping bits of paper
as they did so. The "hares" seemed to fear
a hot pursuit , and , ncordlngly , ran a dim-
cult course for nearly four miles.
- When they were out of sight and some
distance away , the "hounds. " some forty-
six or ulght In number , with a whlpper-ln
ami master of hounds , started after them
and had to follow the route mapped out by
the bits of paper.
They had to go over the same route , up
hill and down dale and now and then a
"hound" got a fall ; no ditches or fences
are negotiated naturally In paper chasings
on wheels , which takes away something
from the danger , and also something from
the fun and excitement.
The "hares" laid tholr course to a club-
liouuo , where afternoon tea was served. In
summer , a beautiful glade , where a bounti
ful luncheon Is spread , will be an appropriate
finish. About ten minutes later the "hounds. "
came In , led first by one of the feminine
members of the party and her escort/ the
whlppcr-ln , and second by two men , one
the master of hounds ; Miss was a good
third.
The gain of about ten minutes madeby
the "hounds" over the "hares" exhibited a
remarkably speedy run. The first prize
going to the young woman who was first In
tit' the finish , consisted of a silver bicycle
lantern. The second and thlrrti prizes , a sil
ver bell and whistle , were awarded to the
next beat riders among the women. There
was a "Booby" prize which
i , was presented
iI to the last man In at the finish.
ift I 1'aper'ciiaslng on bicycles Is , without doubt ,
ft * becoming a favorite eastern amusement ni
I riders of these rather uncontrollable steeds
become more expert , and bicycle meets will
BOOH become as common as the conventional
meets of the hunt club.
It adds to the social aspect of a bicycle
paper chase , when the culminating event Is
a dance given at a club with a supper , a good
orchestra and lots of flowers and favors.
If the girls object to dancing In bicycle
Barb , dancing gowns may bo previously de
spatched to the rendezvous , together with
a chaperon or two.
THE LEAGUE MEETING.
The national assembly of the league to be
hold In Baltimore this month will be the
most Important In the league's history.
First In general Interest , the appeals of the
expelled riders , Messrs. Titus , Cabanno and
'Murphy , will bo brought up If the plans of
these men and their friends are not altered.
While there may be considerable discussion
pro and con , the general opinion Is that the
action of the racing board will be confirmed ,
as the longer the manor la being ventilated
the more It appears that there Is some pretty
crooked work going on In the class D ranks.
As the league doesn't want Itself disgraced
with such things , there will bo only ona
course left and that will bo to uphold the
racing board In Its efforts to keep the sport
pure.
The old color line fight will bo revived by
the proposition to make the qualification for
membership read "cyclist" Instead of "ama
teur white wheelmen. " The southern cle
ment will no doubt fighUtho change as bit
terly as It did the last time It was raised and
the negro unjustly barred from the organl-
ott , , tbo chief consul of the Ma achu ctts
division , and editor of the Lcagtt6 of Ameri
can Wheelmen Ilullctln. lloth candidate * are
In favor of tha continuance of the control

BICYCLE PATHS.
The question of special pathways for the
use of whojlmsn 'a now hflng considered by
the clUcers of the various divisions of the
League of American Wheelmen , with the re-
uU that In sumo cltlea and towns the wheel
men have been Instrumental In hiving cycle
paths constructed. Chief Consul Potter of
the Now York state division Is grently In
terested In the pathway question. He says :
"The general sentiment has been growing
among the wheelmen of many of our coun
ties In favor of the construction of side paths ,
or , to oxnro33 It differently and perhaps more
accurately , they favor this Improvement In
many localities of a narrow strip of roadway
varying In width from three to six feet , r.o as
to make It easily jias ble for cyclists at most
seasons of the yeir. This sentiment Is a rea
sonable one , and should bo encouraged. A
miserable and la many cases Inexcusable
condition of the roadway and the great and
conflicting varlsty of regulations and ordi
nances In tximo cases forbidding and In other
cases restricting the use of footpaths , have
added to the difficulties of the cycling tour
ist , and have detracted much frcm thu pleas
ure of cycling and from the practical use of
the wheel In many localities.
"It Is too much to expect that any Improve
ment In tlio reads will become no general ns
to remedy this diniculty within a period of
mnny years In the future ; and the usp of the
wheel has become so general among all
Classen of our citizens that some provision
formed a remarkable feat a week or so since
by rlClug from Oakland to San Jose on his
bicycle and back again , a "century run"
along the highway , guided only by the wuml
of the bell on the bicycle of a friend , who ac-
co m pan led htm. He hag been stone blind
for fourteen years. His name Is N. L.
Perry , and he Is now about 17 years
old. Ho was a student In the Berkeley In-
alltuto for the Drat and Dumb and Illlnd , and
while them wc.s the leader In Meld sports
and In the gymnasium. He graduated with
honors , and Is now a ftudent In the State
university. His loss of sight Is compen
sated fur In some degree by an abnormal
ccnpo of hearing.
When all the young men of his acquaint
ance began to ride the bicycle he became
greatly Interested In the machine , and de
termined to own and ride one himself. Ho
was confident that If he could once , learn to
mount and pedal and dismount h'.s sense of
hearing would enable him to ride with per
fect safety , and with great enjoyment. His
first lesson proved a very trying experience ,
and ho had ono serious fall.Hut he per
sisted , and soon he was able ta mount ,
maintain his poise and pedal around the
arena of the bicycle school with the case and
assurnnco of an expert. Then ho gradually
ventured out on the roads In the suburbs of
Berkeley. Ho knew the roads well , and
his keen hearing enabled him to avoid col
lisions .with pedestrians and vehicles practi
cally as well as though ho could sec.
A week or so ago the notion of making the
trip from Oakland to San Jose , a favorite
"century run , " occurred to him , and he at
once made arrangements for the experiment.
He got a fellow student , who Is , of course ,
not blind , to accompany him and act as

ought to be made by which a cyclist's Journey
from one part of the state to the other may
bo made with reasonable safety and without
the necessity of resorting to railroad travel
to take him beyond the limits of long
ilretches of Impassable roads.
"With these facts In view and having In
mind the fact that the 150,000 cyclists within
the state of New York are being from day
to day reinforced In numbers , It Is not un-
tln.cly for us to suggest the passage of a law
providing that highway commissioners
throughout the state having charge of road
ways in common use by cyclists and which
ire for considerable seasons of the year Im
passable to persons using this form of
vehicle , should be required to set apart and
Improve a narrow wheelway within the high
way limits ; and that they be required to do
30 In all cases where funds are contributed
ind supplied for that purpose. I commend
this subject to the thoughtful attention of
our members and pledge the best support
of our divisions to any reasonable measure
which may appear to solve this difficulty. "
A CANNON ON WHEELS.
Congressman Cannon of Illinois has the
most virulent case of cyclomania of any of
the public men In Washington. He rides
not only to and from the capltol dally , but
all about town before and after his con
gressional -labors. He also persists In bring
ing his wheel Into the appropriations com
mittee room and standing It up against the
book cases , tables and chairs , greatly to the
annoyance of members of the committee and
visitors.
There Is nothing more disagreeable to
pass than a blcytlo with outstretched pedals.
Many distinguished shins In and about this
committee room are now barked and sore
as a result of the Cannon cycle craze. Ono
of the committee , who recently ran against
the wheel as It loaned against the hat rack
directly within the door , swore that he would
have a bicycle sign hung ouUldo to show
to 41 passersby that the committee had
wheels within.
Several ladles were vloltlng the room.
Ona of them was very much Inclined to
flesh , and therefore very much opposed to
narrow passageways. She started Into the
committee room , and not noticing the bi
cycle , tried to pass between chairs around
the committee table. Her skirt caught In
the pedal , and the teeth of the pedal caught
the skirt. The skirt began to tear , .the
bicycle began to fall. And more than this ,
the good woman lost her balance and fell too.
There were shrieks from her companions ,
groans from her , and hurried help from the
gallant commltteomen who witnessed the
catastrophe. The lady was raised from her
position In such an Indignant state that she
and her companions left without making
their business known. The members of the
committee apologized profusely. Out Can
non's wheel was left alone upon the scene ,
and remains there still , a conqueror.

cation. To gain BOIIIO political point uo doubt
some western or northern delegation will bo
ready to Join hands with tbo rabid southern-
era and the latter will carry out their object ,
The proposed admission ot professionals
\vlll bo bitterly opposed by the dyed-ln-the-
wool amatei'r advocates , but many think
there would certainly IMS little harm to the
league In the admission of the men who race
for cash. If the Icaguo Is to be run on the
broad and charitable lines of being a wheel
men's organization , all cyclery of good moral
character and ropuUtlon should ba admitted ,
they uiy. No cycling body can hop to be a
national one or one capable of doing the
most good 'to the greatest number of people
if thcro are any classea of ufers of the wheel
birred from membership , it should bo the
aim of every body of cyclers to have as a
menibor every rider In their vicinity. The
League of American Wheelmen tiliculd em
brace In IU ranks every rider of the wheel
In the country. It should not be an arts- '
tocracy , composed of little cliques here and
there , who run matters to suit thomtulves ,
with little regard to the Interests of those
outside of tbolr little band , who may bo just
au ardent or cvim more to In the cause of
cycling.
The election of officers1 this year gives
t > romlua of being most Interesting. Of course ,
the presidency Is "tho bone of contention , "
Vor that ofllce there are two equally promi

the letters protesting against the resolution
now In the Hoard of Aldermen that bicycles
shall carry brakes the confession Is found
that wheelmen object to brakes because
they add to the weight of the machine , A
pound or two added to the weight of the
bicycle cannot bo expected to Influence the
aldermen's Judgment when the question late
to obtain the greatest safety possible lo the
use of bicycles. Another argument against
the need of brakes Is that back pedalling
affords a good brake , and that thcro Is a
ptlH better one In sticking the toe forward
between the fork and the tire and pressing
as wanted ,
The mechanics of back pedaling make It a
pretty wiry ground on which to fight off
regular brakes. In the old-fashioned wheel
the push on the treadle was more horizontal
than vertical , A man could put more than
Ills weight on It to reverie the wheel. In
tbo modern bicycle the rider stands on the
treadlei , and It Is doubtful If be can apply
lila full weight to them , even when riding for
ward. In reversing , when the force Is
applied ptlll further from the handle , the
rider Is at still greater disadvantage.
As to the foot-ln-the-fork plan , we wilt
content ourselves with wondering whether
the proposition that bicyclists , men , women
and children , may be relied on to stop their
machinery by taking one foot off thu treadle ,
bitching tip the knee and sticking the too
on the top of the front wheol. Is uerlous.
A BLIND CYCLIST.
A blind bay bicyclist of Oakland , Cal. , per-
pilot. A cede of signals on the bicycle bell
was arranged to Indicate various conditions
likely to be met on the trip , such as un
usual obstructions , the turns In the road and
the like. The road Is not ono of the best ,
even for a rider possessed of all the faculties ,
but the blind boy , piloted by his friend , made
the trip In safety , and with much pleasure.
In the fifty miles of the rldo to San Jcso
the blind cyclist had three falls from his
machine , but they were not serious , and ho
remounted at once and continued the trip.
The slipping of his wheel Into deep ruts
caused the fall In each Instance. After
resting a day In Sah Jose the blind rider
made the fifty-mile run back again to Oak
land , piloted by his friend.
AST OMAHA CYCLE SHOW.
It Will lie Open to the Local Public ,
All Thin Week.
The Omaha Guards Bicycle club's cycle
show , which opens at their armory Tuesday
evening , bids fair to eclipse anything of the
kind ever held In the * west before. The
management horf * worked faithfully , and
have all arrangements completed. Exhibitors
thave been working on tholr. . spaces jslnco
Thursday morning last , and -one would not
recognize the old armory , as lt has been
transformed Into an electrical palace. The
local dealers , who- are to exhibit , and the
list Includes all of the prominent ones are
sparing no expense in fixing up their booths.
Space will not permit a description of each
of the fine exhibits , which arc- all nearly
completed , but one must visit the show In
order to get any Idea of Its magnificence.
There will bo nearly 200 wheels on exhibi
tion , besides the- sundries and accessories
that nearly every cycle dealer carries. John
S. Johnson , probably the fastest rider In the
world agalnyt time , will arrive In the city
tomorrow , and will bo In dally attendance
at the show. With him comes has trainer ,
the Bllver-halred Tom Eck , who probably
nearly everybody In Omaha knows as the
old time professional , who figured promi
nently In local cycling circles during the
days of the good old ordinary races held In
the Coliseum five years ago. Many of thu
manufacturers who hayo been exhibiting
their wheels at the Chicago , New York and
Denver shows , will bring them hero for their
local agents to show , and thuy Omaha people
will practically have a chance to see about
the same as was at the two big eastern
shows , only on a smaller scale. ( The man-
agomtn has engaged Prof. Dworzack's
orchestra for each evening ; also Captain H.
B. Mulford , who is probably Omaha's finest
cornet soloist. Other ypeclal attractions ,
which will bo announced later , will bo had
each evening during the show. As half rates
have been secured on all railroads In Ne
braska , many people from throughout the
state are expected to bo present
Of IllC WllCCl.
The weather of the past week has been
delightful for cycling , and It begins to look
as though people who are going to buy
bicycles the coming spring might as well
purchase them now , and enjoy , say , a month
or two of good cycling that If they wait
they will undoubtedly mlEs. Wheelmen could
not ask fop any moro Ideal cycling weather
than the past week has given us.
The cycle show and good roads meeting
seems to bo the naaln topic of conversation
among local wheelmen at present. The show
lo looked forward to with a great deal of In
terest , as wheelmen will see the wheels
together , and thus have a chance to com
pare the different makes.
At the meeting of the county commission
ers and wheelmen last Wednesday every
wheel club of prominence In the city waa
represented , and papers were read by repre
sentatives of each of them. Probably the
best was that of President Henderson of the
Associated Cycling clubs of Omaha. Mr.
Henderson Is on ardent good roads advocate ,
and na he has been , made one of the officers
of the newly organized Good Iloads league
wo , may rest awured that he will see that
the whcelmen'a Interests are looked after
properly.
For a time last month It looked as though
the Associated Cycling clubs or Omaha would
not live long , but last week the different
clubs seemed to realize -tho necessity of such
an organization , ati all ef the Important ones
elected delegates to represent them In the
auioclatlon. and It Is hoped that the delegates
elected will take Interest enough In It to
attend every meeting. Local wheelmen do
not realize what this organization f.'com-
pllshod last year , and what Is saved them
In different ways. If It had not been
for the association , Omaha would .have had
no road race ; she would have bad a lamp
and bell ordinance ; her streets would not
have been as free from broken glaw , and
she might have had a tax placed upon
bicycles , which would not have benefited
wheelmen In the least , as the revenue would
not have been expended on road Improve
ment.
Managers Lund and Plxley of the cycling
show- had several applications for space from
different people who exhibited at the Denver
show during the past week , but as all the
space available had been sold1 before the ap-
pllc-tloas were received It was Impossible to
accommodate them.
Wallle Wright of St. Louis , who lawell
known In local cycling circlet , was In tbo
city last week. Mr , Wright was on lilu way
to the Denver show , from where ho goes to
the coast. ,
Dave O'Brien , "our genial Dave , " left for
Denver last week. He attended the cycle
show , which closed thcro last evening. He
expects to be gone about ten days , and will
spend the greater part of the coming week
In the mining regions near Denver and. Crip

The great New York cycle show has come
and gone , and proved a grrnt success In
every possible ? way. The manufacturers had
a week of the hardest kind of labor , but by
tholr efforts made the many exhibits ex
tremely Interesting and pleasing to every
class ot society.
There were all kinds of wheels to bo seen
expensive and cheap , ornamental and
plain , and freaks such as the giraffe and
triangular bicycles. The army bicycles at
tracted universal attention In civil as well
as army clrlclcs , and the Tlffanylzed bicycle
was always the center of admiration. Manu
facturers ot tires were numerous , and the
booth where the repairing of single tuba
wires wao demonstrated from morning until
night was always surrounded by an Inter
ested throng. Souvenir hunters were In
their glory , and those who attended the show
every night during the week must have
accumulated a remarkable assortment ot
various knlckknacks , some of which , how
ever , such as sliver match boxes , watch
chartno and ladles' shoo buckles , were well
worth having.
It was estimated that an average ot 16,000
people a day visited the garden , and every
one of them who did not own a wheel prob
ably became enthusiastic enough to be the
possessor of one the coming season. The
very best society In New York was repre
sented In largo numbers every night , nnd
evening dress was seen on every side. Al
together the New York Cycle show of 1896
was everything that could have been ex
pected , and Is the , plainest possible evidence
that cycling this year will be more popular
than ever.
There Is possibly no one thing In the
League of American Wheelmen at present
which Is causing so much comment and upon
which hang ? BO much as the election of the
pifsldent of the organization , which will take
place In Baltimore , Md. , next week. The
principal candidates are the present Incum
bent , Archibald C. Wlllison of Cumberland ,
Md. , and Sterling Elliott of Boston.
Mr. Wllllson was ejected ono year ago
and his frlenJs think tb.nl , In the face of all
that l e has done for the league , he deserves
re-elation , and that : , 'with ' only ono excep
tion , has there ever been a president who has
held the office , but one term.
The fight has become so bitter that It
culminated at the New York show , when
Mr. Wlllson refused tp , shako hands with his
opponent. This actlgn' may' not amount to
arythlng , but It may1' ' bias a great many
delegates against film. ,
Mr. 'Wllllson ha ! ' the" " support1 of the sduth
and some from tbe.-west ; ho has also that
mover. In all .cycling arid league matters at
his back , Albert J. 'Mott ot Baltimore , and
It waa undoubtedly through the Influence ot
Air.Mott and by th * work which he did in
the , matter that \yilIson ) was. elected. . , It. Is
also a peculiar feature of this campaign that
mOsUof'tho wheelJp'apcrHlare'bpp' edto'tUiu |
oif-fitlon of Mr. Wllllson. , f/Thdy / , however , do
notadvance any particular reasons , but It
Scorn's that Mr. Wllllson has been more
Independent In his 'actions than has been
generally liked by this section.
The other things which will be considered
at this meeting are the amendments by Mr.
I. B. Potter of New York for the relinquish
ing of racing by the League
of American Wheelmen , and also his fight
against class B , upon both of which sub
jects he has the strongest of Ideas. Then
will be taken up the various suggestions to
the racing board by Gideon. And the color
lino. The recommendation which will be
made by Mr. Jaqulsh of Illinois Is to the
effect that the anti-color clause be effaced.
Thcro can be no question but that the
south will fight the amendment and If It
should pass tha membership of the league
will be reduced materially , for there are few
south of Mason and Dixon's line who will
look kindly upon the Idea of belonging .to an
organization which does not have the color
line , and a color line which means some
thing. This question was discussed at Louis
ville some two years ago and caused sufficient
excitement to lead one to think It ad
visable to leave this matter stvercly alone.
The threat was made then that If the league
allowed the colored man to come In general
exodus would Uko place throughout the
south , ,
The question ot where the next meet will
take place Is also causing a heated cam
paign , and Toledo and Louisville are neck
and ucck for the honor.
Among the new novelties on cxhlblt'on at
the cycle show next week will bs a $10,000
ladles' wheel. This wheel tins never been
exhibited west of New York City , and will
no doubt be ono of the greatest attractions ,
