These rare Juno dajs seem to have caused
a general awakening In the circle of outdoor
sports and pastimes The amateur ball
teams arc all right lu llio push and garner
on the commons are of almost dally occur
rence. The University club team Is playing
In better form than ever before , anil every
Saturday afternoon gtvus Iho fans an oppor
tunity to ueo the KHat national game played
as It ought to bo played. Several ot the
members ot this crack aggregation would
make fit company for some ot the fastest
tcnuifi of the country. The golf contingent
Is growing In strength every day , and the
association Just i > crfocteO , with links at
.Happy Hollow , promises to give this exhilar
ating Scotch game a vigorous boom through
the balaocti of the summer months. The
crlckctcid are nl o on the hustle , and have
completed their regular Reason's schedule.
All the city tennis courts are alive- with
their wliltc-duckrd devotees every evening
and the coming championships are expected
to ho replete with keener Intereat than ever.

over the big puddle especially to meet out
great New Ungland runner , I'at Carroll , for
a mile , on next Thursday afternoon for the
intornatlonal championship and a side stake
of J500. Mr. Tlnckler la probably the faste t
runner that has travelsed the English clndei

Intention of meeting all the fast men on the

vv lib. Tlncltle , ' , for n mile. When Carroll
left this country ho wna touted by the in
siders who follow pi occasional running as
the fastest man who over crossed the watci
'His ' defeat by Tluckler was unexpected. The
race- , however , was one ot the- prettiest In a
long time. Within 300 jnrds ot the tape Car

point by ten yards. The tinio waa well inside
four minutes and thirty seconds.

A great hubbub Is always beard over the
Drooklyn handicap , and It wa.s louder than
ever this year after It was nil over , owing
to the fact that Howard Mann , an eleventh
liour entry , % wou hands down ,
.shinning the talent olive and up-
ecttlng the calculatlona for betting
men from 0110 end of the country to the
other. The llrookljn handicap Is. of course ,
ono of the greatest event * of the ycir on
the American turf , but when It cornea to
the size of the fitako there are several that
equal it. The Oakley Derby run. at Cincin
nati on July 1 comes pretty nearly matching
the Urookljn dollar for dollar , and while
It l yet eoveral weeks off there la every In

International rowing has been no more
frco , says Waller Camp , from bits of feel

tht ) eagle .screams too loudly or the lion
Is not over gracious ono cannot say , but the
fact rcuiilus that ns emi runs back over hi )
lihtoiy ot International lacing between the
Knells Imien and Americans ho Ilncls con
siderable differences of opinion. Hut with

of Pngllsh rowing men to cement more
closely the good fe-ollng one may fairly hope
lli.it tlioro will bo more contests and a now
c-n of good will and good sport. Attempts
liavn beeu made froin unit ? to time to bring
together two oight-oaroJ crows from leading
lAuhiricun and Unijllsh unHerultiiw for a
1'our-mllo content , hut they have never yet
been crowned with succ > s3. Ono of the
meat sorlmisobstacles Is thu fact that the
time of rowing the annual races ot Oxford-
Cambridge , and Harvard-Yalo differ by no
many months The nearest approach to a
racu and what would have developed Into
n assured contest had not Harvard defeated
Yale , was In 1801. In that year Oxford had
liructleally accepted a challenge from Yule ,
based , how over , upon the condition of Yalo'a
winning uor American race. There Harvard
upset the arrangements by runnlnii off with
the victory auj leaving Tula stranded. The
only distinctively college contest lietwe-eii
Kngllsh and ( American crews was In ISC'J ' ,
between rt'pre-oentatlvo four-oared crews of
Harvard and Oxford , the latter winning by
a length and a half.
Hut speaking of boating , from now on
until the 251U of the month all those Inter
ested In the aquatic welfare of oltlie r of our
great collegru , Harvard , Yale or Cornell ,
must Keep tholr optics tpen and their wits
alert , for many moons will doubtless bhlno

Hudson ore young men wearing the colors
of Uiuso Institutions will again bo found
struggling for supremacy elilo by Hi Jo. This
will be Iho first time thrao throe univer
sities have lined up against each other In an
oluUt-oim-J race. Yale distinctly does not
wish to meet Cornell , or an > body. excepting
Harvard , After the race thU year Cornell
will certainly not detslro to pursue th Issue.
In accepting Yalo'a ultimatum Ibis tear-
that Pennsylvania and Columbia Ehould not
bo permitted to enter Cornell acted with
a de'greo of gtmeroalty which did much , very
much , to Ralu her tha full sympathy of ever )
lover of generosity and fair play. I mean
that It won a , presumption an Yalo'a part ,
* bo bemclf being an Invited guest , vrblcli

Harvard had to row Cornell this year , on
account of the exlgcnclod of the case in a

Yule had for a racu this jear. So , tbla three-
cornered race I * the result ,
Tha city tennis tournament , to begin one
week from tomorrow , promises at least to
furnish some clew to the relatlvu standing
of the local players. Frank Haskcllwho

ham and Con Young and others are , of
COUMO. likely to make dielr presence felt ,
and It Is quite a possibility that the week
will pro-dues como now aspirant for premier
honors. In yenri past Uie city tournament
has frequently brought young blood to the
front , and there are young players In Omaha
just an there ha\c been before. In any
case , there will bo many exciting contests ,
and the tournament will produce as much
Interest c It ban done In former ye-ars.
There wilt bo the usual contests In singles
and doubles.

to obtain. Initiation fees have been fixed at
{ I ; annual dues nt $2. The club meets on
Saturdays but the links are open at all
times and members can consult their own
convenience and leisure as to when they
will play , The greens are being rapidly
brought to a tntu ot perfection , and the
oIllccM of the club look for greatly reduced
scores at no distant day. Great Interest l
being taken In the game and the club is In
creasing rapidly
The links of the Omaha Golf club arc
laid out near Happy IBollow the residence of
J N. 11. Patrick. Twenty minutes rldo
from the corner ot Farnam and Sixteenth
strcclH by way of the Fftrnim fitrcet cat
line , takes on to the grounds , and the club
house * . Mr. Patrick donating portions of hh
resldenpo foi this purpose. Two courses have
been laid out , one about the house for the
women , and another over the adjacent
pawturos for both men and women
While there are no bunkers on the house
lourse , the thlrk giovc makes excellent
hazards and It Is by no means an tas >
course. The first toeing ground 1 located
at the vest end of the bridge and the flnt
green 100 yards to the north , near the powel
hou.'o , a clear course , but an excellent hole
In three. The second teeing ground Is In
the'llno of tiees , midway between the ear-
ilnge drl\e and the power house , and the
accond green seventy-five yards west , and
the line of ploy between two lines ot trcea
'onnlnganastyliaznrd.lt the player deviates
fiotn the line , making this nlso a good
hole In three The third green Is a ck.n
line from ground to green of fifty jnrd"
ind should be frequently made In two The
fourth hole U surrounded by trees and to
make It In three requires excellent piny , al
though but fifty jntds The fifth Is do\.n
hill , fifty > ards , and. while tbo trees make
( lltllcult hazards , It Is not a difficult hole in
four. The sixth Is seventy-five jnrds , nlso
through trees , and , while It ha , been soon i
In two , It Is well played when scored In
four. The seventh is a repetition of tin
sixth In the opposite direction and Is lift }
> aids. Th eighth hole is only reached after
a careful drHo through the trees nnd will
not often bo scored In lews than four The
ninth hole Is clear and fifty jnrds long
The outside or pasture course Is Inten
tionally much more difficult. The flrot teeIng -
Ing giound Is nt the east end of the bridge
and the first green is approached o\er a 200-
> rd course up hill and p\era \\lde natural
bunker. Only an expert would call It n
flve-stroko hole and a "duffer" who scores
it In ten many consider himself lucky. The
second green la 100 ynids from the second
teeing ground , with a high bank and creek
behind It. The ground slopes abruptly from
the teeing giound to the gruen nnd It Is
not. a dllllcult hole for four , though nn over
drive would Involve the phoer In tre
mendous dlfllcultles In the creek. The third
hole , 100 yards , over level ground , has , near
the green n wide natural bunker filled with
wild raspberry bushcB and large trees. It
can bo made In four but If the ball oner
gets In that bunker a player who scores the
hole In twenty-live Is entitled to a medal
The fourth hole Is 100 yards from the teeing
ground nnd near the latter Is n deep , narrow
bunker , which Inevitably catches and holds
a "topped" or "foozled" drive. Still , the
bunker onr-o cleared. It Is a good bole In
five The fifth hole Is clenr and ought to be
made frequently In three or four. The
sixth hole Is reached after crossing a bunker
thirty feet wide and fix feet deep , with a
four-foot fence on the teeing ground bide.
A "sliced" ball will drop over a thirty-foot
embankment to Dodge street nnd an over
driven ball will bo caught by a pond. So ,
while this hole Is but 100 yaids , only ex
treme skill and care will e\er score it In
four. The seventh hole Is over clear ground ,
with one shallow bunker , and , while 200
yards long , will be scoi'cd frequently In
four. The eighth Is only made after passIng -
Ing a natural hazard of ti-ees , a washed-
out nnd badly gullied road and a four-foot
fence , situated so as to catch a good drive ,
and will always considered a good hole
In six. The ninth is an easy hole in four
down hill , with only an easily negotiated
hazard. So the player who scores these
nine holes In forty-five and plays the eigh
teen holes from eighty-five to ninety will
be considered to hnve passed Into the ranks
of a good gclfer.
Well , Dan Creedon and Kid McCoy ba\e
been matched at lant , and now we will all
shortly see what we shall ace Dan and tl'e
ICId are the very personification of business ;
they do not desire a year or so for advertis
ing purposes , but are ready at all times to
take the game ilgtit off the reel. They have
posted their forfeit and agreed to light within
n fortnight before Billy Drady'a New York
club , and all the red liotr ati > half tickled to
death. This will certainly bo a fight as Is
a fight , and In Importance secondary only
to the recent little scrimmage between Col
onel Fitzslmmotifl and Jimmy Corbett out
In the state of snowcapped peaks , sage brush
and villainous whlalcy. Once more , and
prematurely In advauce , I pin my faith to
the stocky Australian , and If he does not
win I will bo only too eager to accord McCoy
nil the fine things that hubeen said about
him. Charlie White will train McCoy , and
ns hn promised mo In a letter I published In
The Bee aever.il weeks ago , to give me all
the news as noon as the men went Into the
preparatory course , I ahall write him and
make him keep his word. McCoy , of course ,
may win , but the crowd who backs him will
realize In .the aftermath that he will never
do It with these alleged famous left hand
Jabs ot bis. I have a fancy that Dan will
bore In so fast , so hard and , EO scientifically
that Out nimble Hooslcr must be nimbler
atlll to uvade him. If Jack llonner can quit
at oven with McCoy , Creedon will certainly
prova bU master.
By the way , I must repeat to you here
one of old Ma con McCormlck'a latest and
funniest stories , lie U telling them every
week now at BO much per tell and Is waxing
fat and sassy on a redundance of revenue
theiefrom. I like Mao Immensely. He and
I weie war correspondents In the coal mines
duilnic the Molly Magulro reign of terror
nearly twenty years ago and we always got
along swimmingly together. I recognize in
iny old pal , too , the pugilistic mentor of
more than nine-tenths of the snorting
writers of the day , not only on this , but
the other side of the pond , He stood alone
In authority at ono time and waa the m'.Mt
frequently quoted man In America , llut
ah'a mo , Old Father Time Is responsible for
a good deal of devilment and I am forced ,
but gravely , of course , to suspect that
he bus been taking unwarranted liberties
with my esteemed old friend , McCormlek.
But that atory Here's what lie said'
"I saw Kid McCoy box Jack Bonner at the
Arena In Philadelphia last Monday night
and It Is but common Justice to the Summit
11111 man to state that ho put up a good
deal better fight than Dick O'Brien did the
week before. Bonner U a strong , powerful
young fellow , who IB not overburdened with
skill , but he U Improving .and today he Is
a match for Dick O'Brien , Dick Moore ,
Scaldy BUI or any other man of their kind.
With a few months' tuition from Johnny
Clark or Billy McLean he would bo a hum
mer. McCoy went Into the ring partially
crippled , as Dick O'Brien stepped on ono of
bis big toea In their contest and bruised It
so badly that a part ot Its nail had to bo
cut away to. get rid ot the coagulated blood
and to prevent the Injury festering. He was
very much afraid that Bonner might step
on It and had ho done so It would have
pained him frightfully. The care of his sore
too kept him from mixing things up with
Uonner several times. As U was bo so far
outpointed Bonner that the latter at times
hardly knew whether he wai In the ring or
on the roof of the nmphlthrate-r. Ily tlm
way , there hn't a belter boxing pl co In the
world than that same arena. "
Now that strikes mo a * Intensely facetious
nnd nhonn how prone some sporting writers
ore to endeavor to get next tn all the sup
posed "good things. " Just now you must
recollect that McCoy Is being toutc-d as the
"best thing" out nnd ho will continue to bo
until Dan Creedon knocks n little ot the
chstlc deceit out of him. Now , the Phila
delphia papers told , In a graphic way , Just
what did take place between McCoy and
Bonner last Monday night. The Kid waste
to stop him In six rounds or there was to
bo no decision. There was pone. But In
stead of McCoy knocking Jack out ho was
treated to as nice n little mess ot gruellnr
as he has suppml at slnco the night a year
or so nro when old Dick Moore gave him
such a delightful larruping. Then It was
a lame back , now a sore toe , according to
Macon's history , nnd what arc we to do
about If Stack up our gold and silver
pieces on the Kid In his fight with Creedou7
Not on your life It will not bo cither a
lame hack or a sere toe then , tt will bo a
bruised belly nnd a sore head.
I see that Tom O'llotirko contemplates a
trip out to the coast for the purpose of
matching George Dlxon against Dal Hawkins
and Joe Wnlcott agalrsl George Green.
O'Hourko U astute and long-seeing , but ho
should hive a ciiro , anyway so far as match
ing Dlxon against Hawkins Is concerned. As
lor Wolcott and Green , that Is all right , for
although they siy the black boy has gent
back woefully since his fight with Lavlgne ,
I thliiK ho would find Green about hln nlzo
The Idea of tipping Green as a wonder on
the score of lib fight at Carson with Billy
bmlth It stuff Smith , In his usual brain-
lesa style , forced that fight clear up to the
time he quit , and notwithstanding It was i
slugging nntch from start to finish. Smith
sustained absolutely no dnmnge , have a tol-
crublo good rlb-rcastlng and a Hush hit In
the mouth In the next to the last round.
Smith waa a long , long ways from being
knocked out or even whipped , and simply
quit because he had exhausted himself going
after Green. About his broken arm , that
was simply one of the old gags. While Green
Inflicted tint little punishment , nc showed
a pronounced aptitude' for avoiding the arti
cle himself , and In this respect is extfomely
olovei. But cleverness alone will not win
from a nut of the B.irbadoan's caliber. With
Dlxon and IViwklns it Is an cqulrte of a
dim-rent hue At his weight and inches
there isn't a man In the world who can
whip Dlxon , even In this day ot his alleged
retrogression. But Hawkins Is neither his
weight nor IiKhes. Ho tops fully a head and
A half over the Hnllgonlan nnd can fight
good and strong at least cln'itcen or Jvveuty
ictinds heavier. Ho U a lightweight and a
good , big one , but has the faculty of get
ting down to a feather's heft lie knocked
Martin Flahoity into kingdom come out at
Carson In leoa than a hair minute , but It
took DKon twenty loug rounds to make a
Iraw vvltn him. However , it Is not the e
v erforinances on which 1 base my Ideas , but
I iiply on the front that the two men present
Iiawklns Is a fighter , and don't you forget
II IIo's big enough to go against Clnilic
McKecver or Kid LavUne and 1 cannot Hu
me out how a little wonder , even , like DI\on ,
Is going to have a look in with him. No ,
my advice toO'Ilourke Is to Keep shy of Hovv-
'tlna ' , but get all of Green he can.
To &how In what hard lines ) flstdom Is for
a champion , It Is but necessaiy to lenurU
i hat out on the coast and they are about
as wise out there as they aie any place en
c-nttli they are talking as though they think-
that these two young giants , Jim Jeffries of
Los Angeles and ( Jus lluhliii , the beer-
guzzllnfe , pictzel-catlng Ohloan , might have
a chance , and tlu-y have been matched to
meet In 'Krlrco In Julv. In condition , each
weighs over 200 pounds , and It will bo a
cataclaam of mountains of flesh when they
como together. The championship neither
one could win It with atl axe' ' And still a bet
ter token of the hopclcssncsj of the aituatlon
so far as a new champion Is concerned Is
In the stuff that Is being peddled out about
Kid JlcCoy. Ono would think the led hots
In Gotham , the Hub , Phllly and other big
eastern cits had about mudo up their mlndb
that he la the last card In the deck , and
they are even conferring on what he will
do to l'"ltz ' In the course of a hundred years
or so. They iay all he needs is years and
filling out , then he'll be right In It , and If
he doesn't lick Pltz then , some one will
have to push him on the track before a
rapidly moving coal train to get rid of him.

The angling seison for 1897 may now said
to be nt Its height , both for trout In the

In this immediate region. Both have their

The sportsman Is always happy vvh-n he
gets out a-llshing for the first time lu the
early summer. After a long siege at the
desk or In the office , the pictures and mel-
oily and sweet scents of nature now ECCIII to
him something altogether Irresistible They

The somber bldo of a Italicman's life was
beautifully lllu trated by Dr Dsspeclur and
a couple of Baltimore friends the other day.
Tlii-y failed to catch the blue birds' sweet

bespangling sunny banks had no charms for
them. They sat all day on 'Mamwa's ' classic

There are two points toward which the
anglcis may turn their faces now with thu
certainty of enjoying good fishing There
may be maciy other places , hut these two
are especially mentioned by reason of the
excellent catches that have been made there
recently by well known gentlemen whcfle
known skill with their rods obviates the
chance of any did wing of the long bow , and
whose big fishing ( torIts are Invariably
backed up with an exhibit of fish One of
thcso places Is Onawa and the other Lake

Frequently have I remarked In these col
umns on the rapid disappearance of all kinds
of game lu thin locality , and yesterday I re
ceived a letter from a well known aports-
inan of Lincoln asking how I accounted
for this alleged condition of things. The
answer Is eaty. The gunner who doubts the
rapid decrease of game surely puts himself
In a position of opposition to tha material
advancement of the country. It Is an ele
mentary proposition that the thicker the
population tbo scarcer the wild game. They
are Incongruous elements. Thickly settled
localities afford poor shooting ; but when the
ranch is an Infrequent occurrence , the game
Is more plentiful , and In an unbroken country
It la abundant. "Where the buffalo once
roamed In countless herded you will now find
house * within sight of each other as far as
the vision will reach , and barbed wire fences
and herds of steers. And again , my dear
Doctor , you must know that while our game
laws are as good as null and void , the cold
storage houses drtvo a tremendous business.
And that Is not all , name the sportsman tome
mo when he goes shooting and kills all that
he can possibly use , stays his band while
the birds last. It he raises a bunch of
chicken they are followed over bill and dale
until Duke or Don steadies himself over the
last remnant of the flock. It a bevy o {
quail , and they scatter In the stubble or
the brush , does he leave as long as there Is
a chance for a shot ? or In a blind , iwlth the
mallards flying plentiful , does he knock oft
In the ml' Hi ot tli diy and R ( * home with
a pocl.et full i ) ? Bhefis. or does he wait until
the deepening tint of ovcnlns spoils th *
sport , or he rfn.4 ijut of shells ?
The buffalo inii deer are gone , and unto-
lope , too , hcie In Nebraska , chicken are little
better than n memory , the rnqulmo and
golden-baeKed plover are een but seldom the
curlew scarce , and the geese and ducks appear
only like wraltha of the days agonc What
more evidence U required , I would like to
know.

The following story Is told on George
Schrader , ft trap shot of Kansas City It
win several year.s ago when "dropping for
place" was considered the proper thing It
eeems , a , friend of Schrader's bad grc ( ed ten
straight , and ns no > ono was In the nine hole
Schrader agreed to drop his last bird and
divide first and second. When the bird
went out Schrader shot twenty feet behind
the bird , but It Immediately fell dead "Who
killed that bird' " exclaimed Schrader. amid
some excitement No one else h.iJ shot , RO
the bird vt&t retrieved and scored dead. On
examination a single pellet was found In the
bird's head It appears that the shot had
hit the old-fashioned trap twenty feet from

the wife of a well known citizen at Cape

a great buzzing In her bedroom and was
spoken to by her hiioband as to what It
might bo. Whjlq making a search for It she
was severely stung In half a dozen places
by what was subsequently found to bo a
ground bumble bee , which had In some way
crawled between the blankets. The ) bea was
nearly the size of a humming bjrd , and when
disturbed made a uolso like those birds when
their wings are In motion ,
Persons who happened to be In the union
station yards laat night , says the Albany
Argus , were struck with the unusual bril
liancy of the place , The reason for this was
that tbo private engine of Dr. ISeward Webb ,
the Nehasene , was In the yard with a new
Hoarchlight on 1U pilot , which threw a very
powerful light on the track and the objects
within Its range. The searchlight Is about
the slzo ot the- ordinary light carried on the
pilots of locomotives , only It Is many times
more brilliant. The power for the light Is
generated In & small dynamo operated Inde
pendent of the mechanism of the engine.
The engine was lu charge of Engineer Mc-
Faddeu , who waa kept busy explaining the
light to a curious and Interested crowd of
rallioad men. The engine waa ordered to
Utlca. and left on Us run at 10:30. : The light
Is ablu to allow the engineer to discern ob

In suppoit of the drinnnil for brnkes na n

Foms evenings ngo a practlcil engineer and
bridge builder , MV > .1 heavy weight spinning
along on a bicycle and It occurred to him
that Pinoly such n delicate looking machine
as th.it w.s not calculated to suiit.iln such a
strain. He nt once ant down nnd began
figuring out Just how much n bicycle ought
to weigh In older to carry a man of , ray. 1GO
pounds. The lowest estimate he could make
\\o sixty pounds and/ / that he tald he- would
he , ItJte to guarantee Cycle linkers ptaite-il
at the bridge builder's estimate ten y-oai , !
ago , but now by practical experience they
find they can safely build n loid wheel to
weigh as llttlo as twenty-one pounds and In
some casts oven less. 'Hie- change has bce-n
a gradual one. rendered possible by a great
number of Impoit.nit Inventions nnd partly
by the exact Knowledge secured by c\peil-
cnce of where the machine can safely be
lightened.
No one knew till a few dny.s ago that the

So much has been said In praise of the
bicycle that n little discoid In the general
harmony will be appreciated , especially as
coming from a preacher , and a Chicago ono
at that. Hete Is what Rev Gregory t > ajn
of the wheel. "The bicycle Is a menace to
the mind It annihilate * the rending habit
rho reading rooms and libinilen , us com
pared with what they used to be arc deserted.
It Is a menace to health. It provokes htait
dii3er.se , kidney dlsordeis. It Is u menace
to the domestic virtues. It brcakii up
and destioys the home. The children
are luined Into the street or left at
home to look for themselves while father
and mother go spinning. It is a menace : to !
morality. It nialves women linniodtat. And | ,
when a "woman thiows off the beautiful ,
teservo which the Almighty has placed !
around her she btanda on dangerous ground
There is no telling what a woman will do
after she has loat her womanliness Tnc-
bicycle opens the way for eveilasting ruin
to a multitude of young men and women
who might otherwise escape It In a menace t
to ralig on The churches are bting emptied [ I
of the young and mlddlo-uged. The Sabbath
bells call In vain , \\hlle they aie ilnglng
the boulcvaiel ? are ciowded with souls that

there is no vision the people perish and the
vision Is feat dyliuv away. Out In the east
there Is a palm , queenllkc , among the trees
At the vo.-y top of this paim there U a tiny
bud , and if that bud ia cut out the tree
dies The Sabbath , with its worship of God
is the bud In the tree of human existence ? ,
without which man's life la a dead thing
and tiie bicycle la cutting out the bud. But
I would not seem over pessimistic. The
wheel mania U a crnze that cannot last for
ever. Action and reaction aie equal , and by
and by the insanity must pass away. "
The old Hoys are renewing their youth
on the wheel , and they aie catching on in
a way calculated to make the young blood
s-qucal. A Chicago man of 31 yc-ars ran
away with flrut prize in the Cook county
road race en Memoiial day He was given
n handicap of flftcon minutes , but It wa.s
not needed. He lan avsy from the crowd
and not one touched him until he crossed

Any woman who starts In to become a
cyclist should carefully study Just what
amount of cycling wll do her good , and
ohnuld then study the vehicle out of which
she expects to get this good If she thor
oughly understands the mechanism of her
bicycle she will get twice the amount of
pleasure fiom It. The first thing to bo con
sldered Is the learning lo rldo Some women
are puzzled ns to whether It Is best to buy
a wheel and depend upon friends to tonch
thorn , or whether they should go to a regular
lar blcyclo school for their Instructions
An experienced woman rider says on thin
subject' "I should advise every ono to go
to a school nnd learn how to ride before
purchasing n wheel. Whllo learning to rldo
they will learn something about wheels and
what kind of wheel and equipment will suit
them best. The number of lessons Is a
great question with bcglnnero. I have
heard women say that they learned In two
or three lessons Some oven say they rode
right off thu first time they tried , but I
have never yet Been any woman rldo a
wheel the first time she tried , or even after
six or a dozen ICSSOIIH rldo fairly well , "
There was recently placed with a faahlon-
able New York tailor ae order for a blcyclf

Considering the amount of vigorous lan-
guaga Indulged In by the men when cleaning
their bicycles , it Is not to be wondered at
that women seldom dream of taking such a
Job. As a matter of fact , tbu woik U not
nearly so difficult or dlity as It Is made out
to be. Women who are chary of other lingers
than their own toying with their bicycles
and prefer rather to rub them down and oil
them themselves need not necessarily find
the task uncleanly , It they take the ulinpli
precaution to wear glove ? while applying oil
A bicycle , to be kept lu good condition ,
should be cleaned every time after ui , oluer-

One of the new Industries for which the
bicycle fad or craze Is irsponslble Is the
Insurance of the owners of such vehicle *
ngalnst theft A number of corporations In
dlffciont sections oC the countiy hold them
selves out as Insurers of this sort , and then-
Is no doubt tlmt many of them lire- lining n
tin Ivlng business A case reported by the
Pi oo Press suggests the importance of n
llttlo caution on the part of the bicycle
owiicis In the mn.ttor of such Insurance- .
The case | g ono whole u resident of Detiolt
placed the Instn anoo of hlo wheel with u
Chicago or Illinois corporation for the
modest piemltim of $2. The contract of the
insurance company Is , biondly , that In case
the bicycle Is stolen within the year the
owner Is to bo supplied with a new- one of
the snme make free ot charge by the In
surance company. The blcyclo has been
stolen. It was left outside a few nlgl ts
slnco while the owner went Inlo a shop to
make some purchases , and during Hi- few
minutes of his nb.scnco the wheel disap
peared. Upon application to the insurance
company for the new- wheel contracted for
the ngent of the company placidly observes
"Furnish us with the proof that your vuccl
wns stolen nnd we will promptly glvo you
the now one " But that , unfortunately. Is
just what the owner of the wheel cannot do
lie can make affidavit that he bellaves his
wheel to have been stolen , but the agent
declines to accept the affidavit as pi oof.'id
Inasmuch ara the owner hail loft ii'jbody In
'charge ' of his wheel by whom ho can pove
that ' It was actually stolen , his leme.ly bet ins
to ' be gone The agent professes the i imost
willingness not to say eagciiuss to iiiinUh
tbo new wheel upon getting Iho pioof ilc-
manded but without the pioof 'ie Is 10-
gietfully compelled to decline. He cannot
tell , ho says , but the owner cf ; bo wncol
may , have run It into the liver or othc-i vvlc > o
disposed of It for the purpose of getting n
new wheel , and If It wore not for the fact
that the owner In question is an honorable
oltlzon , Incapable of any such ac'lo-i , the
supposition would be a fahly plausible one.
It Is very evident , however , that there Is n
screw loose In the insurance scheme. If the
man or woman who loses a wheel by theft
or what Is supposed to be such can only
got the new wheel promised upon notual
proof of theft , then the paying of ? 2 for
Insurance is throwing money away. Not
once in a scoie of times could such a theft
bo jrovc-n , cither to the pntisfnctlon of the
insurance company or even of the owner.
These who nro meditating the Insuruico of
their wheels should ascertain definitely the
limits of the insurance company's llabili'y ,
and unless there Is a better prospect of re
ceiving something for the- premium laid
than there seems to bo In the case refonod
to that they keep their piemlum and do
their own Insuilng.

passing them keep to the left.
2. In tuinlng corners to the left , always
keep to tlio outside of the street.
: i. In turning corners to the light , keep
ns far out as possible without tledpasslng
on the left side of the load.
4 Never expect pedestrians to get out of
your way ; find a way aiound thorn.
fi. Nc\or ride rapidly by an electric car
landing to unload passengers.
C. Never coast down a hill having cross
