It Is announced In the last Issue of the
American Chess Monthly that the prospects
arc good for another match between Harry N.
Plllsbury and J. W. Showalter. The general
anar.gements are now being consIdoreJ1 and
the agreement In regard to terma and rules

that he would like to begin about the middle

A dlr-cusslon Is under way In the London
Times as to the value of chefs as a mcains of
education. "Old Ktonlan" points out that
"It Is an exercise admirably ad-ipted to >
strengthen In young minds the faculty or
memory , accuracy , Imagination and proper
tion. " Another correspondent observes that
the young man who has a taste for chess
thereby escapes many temptations which
beset bis class , including the gambling evil ,
which , he sajH , IH ruining so many of our
eports He Is able to spend a few hours In
relaxation each week , the correspondent adds ,
without feeling the need of spending money
to obtain amusement.
Ono of the most Interesting stages In the
Intercollegiate tournament hold during the
holidays occurred during the match between
Cook of Yale and Young of Princeton. The
game was opened by Young as a Muzlo gam
bit , which waa thwarted by Cook's resorting
to .1 French defense. At the stage noted be.
low Youag had a well supported pawn nt
Q II 7. while Cook was preparing to queen
ho ! ruwn at Q ( i. The Yale man had the bet-
tcr position , threatening an immediate mate.
The position was as follows :
UI.ACK. COOK , Ynlo.
WHITE , YOUNG , Pilncetcm.
With his last move U to Q Kt q. White
threatened mate. Black replied B to Kt 2
( ills , chk. ) , whereupon Young won by U to
Q C , for If U takes It , white wins by his
< iueun' pawn , while black'a rook nt Q S
cannot move elsewhere under penalty of
mate. By B to B 3 ( ills , chk. ) , Cook could
liavo won the game.

and could not be prcflu.t. Tbo consequence
rwaa that the Omaha club tcama were uot
elected until a few minutes before the game
began , and eomo of the fours were 111-
matched In consequence. However , Iho game
began promptly ou the arrival of the visitors ,
tvl wb.Uo partaking more of tlie nature of a
eoclal jyime than of a serious contest , it was
a very cloflo and exciting match , heartily
enjoyed by all , "Progressive fours" was
played ; thirty-six boards were used and each
( team played all of the board * , each Omaha
< tum playing twelve boards against each of
the Sioux Oily team. Omaha teams were
Blood , Itlnciiart , Bcrlbner and iBe-lndorff ;

T'ho ' dominion of flstlana Is very quiet at
the present etoge , the surface only being
ruflled by the aputterings of Corbett In his
anxiety to get at ritzslmmcos. He has fol
lowed up his liberal offer to give the cham
pion several ? : ,000 notes by publicly an
nouncing that ho will give Fltzslnimons ? 33-
000 If he will meet him , T'ho ' Cornlahman Is
remaining steadfast In his condition , how
ever , that Corbett must ilR'at Maher bcforo he
consents to a meeting with him. T.iuro you
rs.
This warfare Is certainly becoming a wear
iness to Hio flesh. If Instead of keeping
on with his letter writing Corbett were to
take a tunTole to himself anJ make a go with
Maher ho would raise himself much In the
estimation of the sporting public of this
country. In case that die won , Fltzslnimons
would bo forco.li to fight him again. But It
will r.ot be surprising If Fltz drops his con
ditions , cnl the two may meet during tlie
coming year , for nil this squabbling looks
very much like advertising and nothing else.
It Is announced that Jimmy -Barry has re
nounced ills expressed Intention of leaving
the rtag < is a rcuull of the recent death ol
Croot In Bngland , and this will bo balled
with pleasure by the better class of sports
men. Inasmuch > M Barry la a gentlemanly
little fellow and Is well liked. Barry ex
plains that he was despondent over the dis
astrous finish of his fight wltii Croot , but the
fact that the 'findings ' of the court absolve
him from blame and that Cdsper Leon Is re
claiming the lightweight champlcnshlp have
led him to reconsider Iris step.
The little fellow has placed himself under
the BUiilaiYjo of Uavlcs and Is looking far
matches. H socms , thoiiRn , an If be will
have to go against the men whom he has
already defeated , for no now aspirant of any
worth for the honors has arisen. If Pedlar
IMImer can bo Induced to come to this coun
try Barry has expressed u deMro to meet
him. A go between the two ought to bo a
good one.
Palmer , however , is Inclined to retire.
Oourge Dlxon wanted to box him , but In re

ho will retire after flRhtlng Dave Sullivan

I G'onxliK-reil Vulgar.
Whist Is now regarded as essentially tbo
ntelloctual game of 'cards and It la not
generally known by Us devotees that there
waa a tlmo when U was not considered a fit
divcrilon tor respectable people. In tbo
wrMs of nn nuthorl'y of an curllcrpl" ' '
of Erjtlish h story whls' W'as p > ijdc ! l
"a verie alehouse ame , " played exclusively
In the servants' hill and the stable , niU
was tiacd largely by professional ga-nestori.
As tHp historian added of the whist pliyrr
i of that day , "He was always studying ifp.v
. Inventions to deceive the Ignorant. " The
first step of whist Into favor with the bettor
I closa was Ita admission to the pjrlors of the
, country nqtilres of England , who "played
' W'hlsk. smoked tofcaceo and drank fat ale. "
! But for -A Ion ? tlmo after this period It wii
j regarded as vulgar by the quality und uti'll
! the end of the first quarter of the eighteenth
'
century was excluded from nil favor In the
higher circles.
About 1728 some young men who tft-
quentoj the Crown csffeo house , Heritor 1
row , London , began a scientific ttudy of tin
game anJ In 1742 , when Hoyle's publication
appeared , whist became a , sort of craze , anil
snoli gamca ns quadrille , piquet nml basset ,
then In high popular regard , were obscure !
In favor of the now amusement. Schools
wcro established for tcaehlng thp ganio nml
Hoyle hlni'clf offered to give prlxolc In
structions nt } u a lesson.
Karly In the nineteenth century the rage
for ccrd playing diminished and In 1SH7 n
scandal , growing out of n gnmo of whist
ct Graham's club turned public sentiment
against that kind of card playing , nnd the
boDka on It were condemned ns the "devil's
books. " It was revived In England about
1KC5 , and In 1S71 the first whist lenguc In
this country was formed In Milwaukee. At
the present tlmo the organization of whist
players Is na complete that there Is hardly
a city or a town In which the league Is not
represented , and a congress Is held and
tournaments are contested ovcry year.
An Interesting session of the South Side
Whist club was held Tuesday , January 11 ,
nt the homo of Mrs. Salisbury , 2639 Daven

taken by Mcsdamcs Curry and Smith. The
next meeting of the club will occur on

The suggested team Mioot between ten

A few horrible px-iinplcs like the one which
an energetic gam-j warden made down lu
Illinois the other day would have a de
cidedly fcslutary cftect In Nebraska. The
wardpn concluded that altogether too many
quail were being killed In .ils bailiwick fcr
shlomeiils to eastern markets. Instead of
saying that It was of no useto try to stop
It , as Nebraska officials aie wont to do. he
arrested one of thp marauders and yanked
him up before a rcunty Judge , where he was
convicted of hllllns f.oo quail out of seasni
He was fined on each count , and the tolol
aisqiefUod over $3.000. with an Intimation
that a Jill sentence wcs the alternative if
the fine was not paid.
The sportsmen of Cedar Rapids. la. , are
preparing to organize a name and ll.sh pro

secure the enforcement of the laws now ex

The Humane society of Denver prcooses
to bring suit against the officers of the

The club owns about 1,000 acres of land
In St. Olalr and Monioe counties , on which

The December report of State Game and
Fish Warden O born of Michigan hhows a
tofal of 679 cases for violation of the game
and llph laws prosecuted during 1897 , as
aga'nst oOS for IS'JC and 501 for 1893. Many
fish ladder ? were put In dams and a great
fight wit' successfully made to sustain the
new c-omniprcial fish laws. The record Is
said to exceed that of any state game and

claimed that Michigan Is ahead of all other
states In protecting fish nnd game.

SOUTH OMAHA , Jan. 10. To the Foortiflg
Edltcv of Tlie Bee : Is any government or
private exploring party going abrcad in the
tear future ? W. Crawford.
AIJS. I know of none.
OMAHA , Jan. 14. To the Sporting Editor
of The Bee : Are an ostrich's eggs hatched
by the ostrich or by the sun ? An Anxious
Better.
Ans. This question has agitated the gray
matter of the rportlng editor ever since it
was propounded and has driven him to con
sult many and varied authorities , for It
would not do to go wrong In such an * impor
tant matter. The results he has gathered
from his cogitations nnd those authorities Is
as follows : The hen bird lays the eggs , no
question about that. In the native lair of
the boast these eggs are deposited In the
sand. During the daytime the sun Is allowed
: o do the work , but at nights the man bin
is forced to fojidle the eggs u'.illc the she
jlrd stands by with a club. This was firs
noted by Ascullus In vol. Iv. , page 1091. The
question now resolves Itself into the proposi
tion of whether the eggs would bo hatched
provided they arc not addled. If cither the
sun or the bird lacked In its duly. The
joint of whether it is the hen or thp. man
> lrd that sits on ttio eggs docs not enter
nto the case at all. Suppose that the sun
did not como out and therefore failed to
'urnlsh ' the required heat , what then ? The
eggs would not be hatched and the ben bird
considering the characteristics of the BOX
would force the man bird to sit on them ,
tut what would happen If the man bird sat
on them all the while , whether the sun was
out or not ? Why , the eggs hatched If the
daddy did his duty nnd the eggs wcro not
store eggs. Therefore the cnortlng editor
concludes that It is the bird and not the sun
which hatches the eggs , and verdict Is ren
dered for the plaintiff.

Commenting on Jimmy Michaels' record of
twenty-five miles In a fraction less than
fifty-two minutes , the New York World says :
"Within the memory of men still In active
life there was not a railway train In America
that could make such speed , and even now
there Is nothing In the world but a railway
train that can accomplish It. Sheridan's
ride was nothing to it. No horse was ever
foaled that could do It. And yet the bicycle
Is a thing scarcely more than a quarter of a
century old , while In its present form It
has exlsteji less than ten years ! What will
Its speed be when mechanical Ingenlty shall
have had time to perfect It as the locomotive
engine has been perfected ? Better still , this
machine Is doing woijders for all the people.
It affords them tfecroatUui. Htjtomptsitlfeiu-

get ruddy cheeks , strong limbs and exuber
ant health. It has doubtless contributed In
no small degree 'to ' the remarkable lowering
of New York's death rate , to which reference
was made the other < Jay In these columns.
"Great Is the bicycle ! "
The order of 'tho commissioners of the
District of Columbia providing for a four-
Inch drop on the' ' handlebar of every bicycle
ridden In Washington has gone Into effect.
The scope of the order practically kills drop
handle bars and places a premium upon ,
tboso turning heavenward. 'Measured from !
the saddle to the lower end of the bar , as
the resolution prescribes , the bars will
practically have to bo horizontal. No tall
man , under the ne'w legulatlon , will be able
to ride a twenty-trco or twenty-four-lnch j I
frame , because thebars will have to be raised
to almost a level. In other words , It looks
us though the now regulation will practically
drive the low-frame wheels out of the
market. The regulation is as follows : I
"Inasmuch as safety In passing with I
rapidly moving vehicles requires that the i
riders or drivers approaching each other |
shall each be able to judge of the probable i
movement of the approaching vehicle , no |
cycle shall be ridden on the streets within the
city limits with the lower end of the handle
bars on a plane lower than four Inches
below the top of the saddle at Its center , and 1 I
the rider shall at all times keep his head I
In such a position as to command a view
ahead of not less than 300 feet. "
A western maker has so much confidence In
the Judgment of what the future hold * In
store that ho announces a wheel having a
permanent gear case built with the machine
so as to bo an Integral part of It. He claims
that any one who han ever lonrned the bless
ings of a clean cfoaln never discards a gear
case after trying one. As a pointer for these
riders who design to got la the protccted-gcar
swim , by adopting the gear case fashion and
buying ono to fit their old wheels , It should
bo noted that certain clearances between the
frame and the runnings parts are necessary.
From the Inoer side of the crank to the cen
ter of the sprocket , there must bo a half Inch
of room. Hctwcc'n ' the center of the rcir
rnrockct and the proximate side of the spoke
flange , there must bo another half Inch svraco
nnd the same distance between the center of
the rear sprocket and the nearest point on the
frame. The back stays and rear forks must
afford this same clearance both forward and
upward from Uio rear axle for a distance of
tno and a half or tlireo Inches. Sprocket
nuts and revolving parts must also cleac the
frame by one-eighth of an Inch. Nearly all
18S ! ) model * will bo built with abundant clear
ance In these respects and most of the old
wheels can be made to conform to the re
quirements of the gear case attachment. By
paying attention to details of this kind and
having a gear case correctly fitted In tbo first
place , riders will avoid muck trouble. A
prefer actlclo In the gear case line equipped
with modern water-proof Joints or rubber will
oxcllldo dust and foreign substance. * absolute
ly , do away with chain cleaning and should
add to tho'pleagure.of riding.
The bicycle bachelor of Iho Now York , Press
lias been doing eorno more reflecting. Ho
says :
"A woman will ride on the wrong fildo of
the road and feel insulted If somebody cries

"Kciec skirts on women make them look

A clever sneak tjuef- fleeing down Jamaica
avenue- toward Brooklyn ono day last week
pursued by a man pn 4 blcyclo showed him
self thoroughly up ta. date by taking from
his pocket a box of tapks and sprinkling the
lolnteil puncture pfoijuccm along the road
as ho ran. Ills pursuer was scorching along
and the capture of the thief was only a ques.
tlon of time but ( or the tacks. The rider
smiled to himself qt > the thought of tlm

New Inventions for bicycle Improvements
and attachments are constantly coming to
the frmt. some of them useful , others ol
more than doubtful utility. Ono of the most
recent Is ! device which has been patented
for n pump to be operated by the movement
of the bicycle wheel. Uach wheel of the ma-
chlno Is provided with .1 pump , anl there li
a mechanism which can be thrown In or out
of gear easily , by which the pump can bo
worked whenever It Is neccsaary to add to
the air In the tire. The whole arrangement
seems a , rather clumsy addition to a bicycle ,
although the weight Is not great. It would
bo a handy thing to be able to pump up n
tire by a few revolutions of a. wheel , hut It
will bo strange If this attachment supcrcedes
the use of the hand or foot pump. Foot
pumps are now sold so cheaply that every
rider can afford to have ono for use at home ,
but there Is always a risk lai going for a ride
without a small hand pump lu the pocket
or toolbag.
How the blcyclo Is driving the horse Into
dtatuc for pleasure purposes ls strikingly
Illustrated l > y the statistics cf visitors to
Falrmount park , In Philadelphia. According
to these figures the number of vehicles and
equestrians entering the park last year was
GO.OOO less than It was In 1S9G , while the
number of blcycM was 3C0.2S6 gr6ater thin
It was the year 'before. ' This record showii
that the horse Is going , and that the wheel
la taking his place , The change thus noted
In Philadelphia Is probably proceeding nt
about the same rate of progress In every city
whcro the park system and Its approaches
are properly developed.
There nro Indications that this year may
bring a reaction lu the sentiment of riders
concerning 'the ' weight of wheels anil witness
the Inauguration of a poconil light-weight
craze. Since 1895 manufacturers have been
Increasing the weight of 'tholr ' regular road
models , and today the weight of the average
roadster is from two 'to ' three pounds heav
ier than It was In 1895. When the
featherweight excitement was at Its height
the repairs on a high grade wheel necessary
In a season wore much greater than at pres
ent. Riders learned that the manufacturers
w-ero right in protesting against the use of
nineteen and twenty-pound wheels on the
road , and on trying heavier modpU next year
they found they lan Juat about ns easy. This
may have been partly duo to the general ad
vance made in construction , especially In
'bearings. The makers have not 'been ' slow in

Jimmy Michael is wearing the title of
middle distance rider of the world 'without '
contest just at present and Is likely to keep
it until next April at least , for ho has an
nounced that he will not race again until
that time. In the meanwhile , however , there
are others who have ambitions to second
place and one of these is Arthur A. Chase ,
the Englishman who was lecently dcfpated
by the Welsh rarebit. 'He has Issued the
following challenge :
I hereby challenge any paced bicycle
rluer who has been defeali-d by Jimmy
Mlchac-l to race one to fifty miles on any
date mentioned before February 10 on any
indoor or outdoor track for the largest
purse offered. I am willing that the win
ner Hhould take all the money.
It Is said that the challenge Is aimed cs-
pcclally at Starbuck and Taylor. These
two crarks are now .training for a match
race and It is JJkcly that 'the winner will
pick up the defi. Chose is also probably
'timing at Tom LInton , t'he other famous
Welsh ildcr , who Is coming over to this
country.
There is considerable Interest attached to
j a match which his been arranged between
Lohr , the German ride- who recently came
1 to thh country , end Sanger , the American ,
from the fact that the two are probably the
heaviest champions riding. Lehr weighs 201
pounds and Sanger 208. The lace Is to take
place at Bollealr , FJa. . on February 1 and Is
to bo for a pur.se of $500 and a side bet of the
same size. It Is to 'be ' the best two In three
of one-mllo paced races. Lehr's challenge
was what brought this match to a climax.
It has also brcn accepted by thiee others of
American riders Kddlo 'Bald ' , 'Earl KIser and
Jay Eaton. Bald has been given the piefcr-
| once Hy the German , but refuses to race until
spring. Lehr on too other hand has refused
to ruret either KIser or Eaton until ho has
disposed of Bald or the latter has disposed of
him.

the discomfiture of American riders. It
was In three heats. The ( list was run off
between Gougoltz and Limberjack. the-
Frenchmen , and Fred Titus and Nat Butlor.
The Frenchmen won Im 1:59 : 3-D , not \er >
good tlmo for a mile. The second heat , \vcn
for a mile and seven lirvi. almost two miles
end was between Fulford and Whenlock of

Decoration day of this ypar. Last year's
Decoration day races , which wore promoted "
by the Associated Cycling club nnd held nt
the old fair grounds track , proved to be
pretty much of a farce , especially the ten-
mile amateur handle-ait , which was to take
the place of the annual road race. Till ;
year local wheelmen want to sec the annual
Dodge street course amateur road rnco re
sumed nnd nn effort made to get up a prize
list that will bring aimtctira from all over
the state to compete. It Is quite true that
the macadam on the Dodge street course Is
nof In as good condition ns when it was
new. Yet with the exception of n tow
places which an hour's work would repair
the course Is in much better condition than
tto majority of other courses throughout
the country over which road races arc held
annually. Mcst of the favorites who com
peted In the annual road races held over
the Uodgo street course In 1S ! > 3 nnd 1S9C
i.ve joined the professional ranks and
therefore could not compete , but their
oiuccs would easily bo filled by the prom
ising joung amateur riders who have
sprung up In 'this ' vicinity during the last
two years , many of whom could give the
old-timers polnteis in road riding.
Last summer while Johnnie Conover. the
crack amateur road and track rider of. Mis
souri , was In this city he look n spin ov"ti
: ho old Dcdgo street course and pronounced
it at that time to bo lu 60 per cent better
condition than either the Waldo park course
at Kansas City or Forest park course of St.
Louis , on both of which he 'Competed last
spring , winning time prize at Kansas Pity
and second ) 'time ' at St. Louis. Couovcr sild

The Associated Cycling club's meeting
which was called for Monday evciilrg la t
at the Omaha Wheel club parlors was post-
> oneil a month on account of sovnral of the
llfToient clubs not having elected delegates
for 1SS8 as yet. At the next meeting the
luwi delegates will be admitted and a Loa.d
of olilcers for the ensuing- year elected.
Frank M. Tcssler , formerly of Sutton , Neb. ,
vim was this stato's fastest uupacpd
short distance rider In ISO. ! , was in the city
several days last week. Frank announce- ?
lint ho has forsaken the racing game eu-
Ireiy mid will devote himself entirely to
busIuosE the balanoo of his days.
President John U. Howe of tnc Tourist
Wheelmen has called a meeting of that
body for Saturday evening , January 22 , at
which time the club will reorganize. Mr.
Howe announces that next summer his club
will be a curbstone club only and will make
their headquaiteis "In the saddle. " Their
meetings will be held at Hartry's cigar
store , and all runs will bo btartod from that
place. The Tourists have never made pre
tensions of being anything of n social club ,
and , therefore , their proposed action will not
bo a surprise to their many friends.
A nsw bicycle lamp ordinance won pre
sented at the city council's regular meeting
on Monday over.'lus ki.it und was referred to
ono of Wia committees to be- reported upon
later. The new crdlnnoo differs from the
old ctio In the way that certain streets are
set aside upon whlcli wheelmen may ride
without a lamp , while the beat paved and
most ficquented streets cannot bo ridden
upcn after dark without a lamp. This ordl-
panco Is said to bo satisfactory to many of
the wheelmen who opposed the other cne ,
while the balance of the opponents of the
ordlionco declare that they will fight it I *
the bitter end.
Since It was arncunccd last week that a
looJl Implement concern would dona'e a
couple of cars of clndera to be usoJ In sur
facing fie Florence cycle path this spilng ,
uevcral prominent wheelmen 'have taken hold
cf the matter and propcso to 'Induce the
county commissioners to haul anl roll Hie
cinders without cost to the wheelmen. As
two cars will not bo a sufficient amount to
c\er the path , any oiiieia who may 'have
cinders that they would cure to donate for
this purpose will confer a favcr upon wheel
men by communicating with D. W. Kltch ,
