Slnco tho announcement was made some
time ago that the construction of a modern
tolcyclo track waB to be commenced In this
city thero has been ronowed activity In
wheeling circles. New clubs nro being
formed, some of tho old ones revived and a
season, fo far. nmrked as ono of thb dullest
known since blcyclliiR first camo Into popular
fancy In Omaha, Is to bo turned Into ono
of unusual Interest and activity and tho
upon promises to rcRaln much of lt former
popularity In this section. Club iuuh aro
ngnln coming to bo a fad nnd no less than
half a dozen wero held during tho pleasant
moonlight evenings of the past week.
There nro several runs Into the country an
nounced for today and any number sched
uled for tho balance of tho month. Local
dcalerw report better trado than Is usual at
this seafon of tho year nnd everything
jiolnts to Its continuance, as well no a
Btcady IncreaKO of tho present enthusiasm.
Tho trnck, which Is already ncarlng com
pletion, will be, when llnlahcd, ono of the
fastest In tho country. It Is built upon
tho saino lines as tho modern mllo-n-mlnute
ovnlfl of France, nnd tho few In this coun
try upon which such phenomenal records
liavo been mado with the aid of motor pacing
cycles, it Is one-eighth of a mile in cir
cumference, eighteen feet wldo, banked
Xorty degtrcM on tho turns nnd thirty in Hie
BtrctchcH. The surfneo Is of seamless floor
ing laid upon two-by-fours placed but two
fret npnrt around tho entire track, thus al
most entirely eliminating the possibility of
ItK wnrplng fnm the effects of rain and bud.
II. H. (ileozen of Syracuse. N. Y., Is tho
ileslgner. and the track is being built under
Ids personal supervision. Mr. fileezen has
Veen identified with the cycle- racing game
for the past ten years and hns designed
juoro fast tracks than perhaps any other
man In this country, and it Is certain that
ns a manager and trainer of racing men lie
lias developed more men of national repute
than nny one else; therefore, ho not only
Jtnows Just what Is required for r.peed, but
knowH ns well how to design and build such
n track, and his promlso that It will bo
rt record-breaker can be relied upon. Mr.
Olcezen is to remain permanently In thh
city nnd. while tho active management of
the track will not bo in his hands, he will
nsslst in arranging the different tournaments
jirojectcsl for this seafon. Speaking of the
probability of securing the appearance, of
tho eastern cracks, Mr. fileezen said:
"It i definitely settled that the National
racing circuit will extend as far west as
Bait Iko eity nll1 Ogilen, nnd, as there are
nny number of unfilled date upon tho clr
rult after the men get west ns far ns St
I,ouls, thcro is not the sllghtt doubt that
they will como to Omaha. In fact, I havo
letters from sovernl of the circuit riders
who aro iir80nnl M"111' ot ,nlne' klnR
about tho track and snylng that they will
ton off hero If I recommend It. nnd, as tho

easy for good riders to travel at a speed
of from 1.30 to 1:40 for the mile, and when
you stop to consider the fact that this la
almcst express train speed you can readily
realize tho class of sport that Is in storo for
tho bicycle rncing enthusiasts of Omaha,
"Tho track will bo completed tho first
part of tho week and can bo used by the
riders today. All of the local wheelmen
will bo granted froo training privileges, and
In this way I hopo to bring out a number
of young riders who can glvo the national
circuit chasers a good contest. Omaha has
one or two riders cnpablo of competing In
this company now, and, as I understand
that they aro In training, it Is likely that
thnlr presence will lend additional local
interest to tho contests. Tho first meet
will bo held ono week from today, and, while
It will 'bo made up almost wholly of ama
teur events, some good racing may bo
look for at that tlmo."
The Omaha Wheel club, tho veteran bicy
cle organization of this, city, la taking n
more active part in tho sport tltln season
than It has for some tlmo past. Club runs,
which havo been tabooed for several sea
sons past, havo been resumed nnd regular
weekly rides will be mado into tho country.
Tho run card for tho balance of the month
Is ns follows:
Sunday, July IB, 8 n. ra., Ilcnnlngton, 16

All runs start from tho club's temporary
quarters at Seventeenth nnd Capitol ave
nue, nnd are under tho guldnnco of Cap
tain Flcscbor. Karly this spring tho club
gave up Its quarters at Klghteenth and
Douglas and Is at pre:ont negotiating
with tho management of tho new track
for a club houso to bo built on the
grounds on North Klghteenth street, Tho
new set of ofIlccri, which were recently
elected for tho season, are: T. II. Mlckel,
president; W. A. Croxton, vlco prosldent;
Ed Lytic, secretary; Len Llvescy, treasurer,
and Louis Flescher captain.
Ono of the new clubs recently organized
in tho National Cycling club. It is com
posed wholly of riders ot tho National
wheol. The club starts out with a mem
bership of noarly ono hundred and gives
promlso of becoming one ot tho largest
In tho city. The ofllccrs aros Mr. Cook,
president; J. A. Hcnson, secretary and
treasurer, and Will Kellogg captain. Last
Thursday evonlng a moonlight run was
mado to rtensou by way of tho new track,
which was Inspected on the wny out. Over
fifty riders participated In tho run, among
whom wero a number of women. The
ride was a racst enjoyablo one, nnd many
moro nro projected for the balance of tho

Qoneral Nelson A. Miles tells a story of an
old teamster out' west who was driving over
a very rough road In tho Itocky mountains
shortly after the Qeronimn campaign. He
had the general for a passenger. Tho
wagon was an old prairie schooner, without
prlugs or cushions, nnd the general was
vainly attempting to fall asleep.
"But thero was no sleep for me on that
trip," fays General Miles, "for tho old ras:al
drovo over every bowlder In tho road; in
fact, ho seemed to be doing It purposely.
Finally I became Interested and began to
count the number ot rocks which wo
struck. Suddenly, to my consternation, he
missed one a huge bowlder In tho middle
of the roadway.
" 'Whoa! Hey!' I cried. 'Back up! Back
up!'
"He quietly followed my Instructions,
seeming to he not nt nil surprised by thorn.
When ho had his wagon In the proper posi
tion I said: 'Now, drlvo over that roclt,
confound you! It's the only one you've
missed!'
"Without eo much as a glanco In my di
rection, he replied; 'Cert, pard. Never no
tlced It. Ain't got a chow about yer?'
"I got out and walked the remaining
eight miles."
Oenernl Miles uses this story as an nrgu
ment for the construction of tho great
transcontinental highway which Is being
advocated 'by automoblllsts and cyclists
throughout tho country.

Instantly applied, yet for lack ot the knowl

blamo for it all is laid upon tlio makers.
Tho proper adjustment of tho head bear

breaking at tho lower bearing an accident
most likely to happen in riding down hill
and usually attended by serious results.
Every rider should become familiar with
the" practical working of every part of hla
wheel beforo taking It away from tho plao
where he purchases It.
Tho bearings of a bicycle are among Its
most vital parts. On no other parts ot the
wheel is so much labor and expensn ex
pended by manufacturers in their efforts
to attain perfection, nnd no other partB nro
to dellcato and require such careful atten
tlon. Yet it Is a tact that many riders are
so Ignorant ot the construction ot their
wheels thnt thoy not only do not know how
to rcgulato the bearings, but do not even
know when they need attention.
Q,tnutae U Is obvious that when wheel
A brewery wagon loaded to tho guards,
but managed by n sober driver, caused a
blockade In ono of the streetB of Detroit.
When tho confusion was greatest and not nn
opening in sight, along camo an 8-year-old
girl mounted on a wheel several sizes too
large for her nnd going at a lively pace. A
collision seemed Inevitable. Just what
hf.ppencd Is told by tho Journal:
"The presence of this littlo woman on the
wheel seemed to bo communicated to tho
drivers of tho vehicles by some telepathic
means. Tho beer wagon mnn turned heavily
In his Eeat nnd .saw tho littlo girl. Under
the same impulse tho coachman, whoso team
was now quiet, looked over his shoulder.
The other drivers, saw tho child, too. A
dozen men started from tho walk to intercept
her, but sho passed before they camo near.
Her skirt brushed against a dozen hubs, but
she kept on her way. There seemed no
escnpo from a collision with either tho beer
wagon or tho carriage, which wero fairly
wedged between tho mass of vehicles and the
curb.
'The driver of the beer wagon seemed to
make a hasty calculation. Tho end of tho
polo botween his horses was against the
side of tho delivery wagon ahead. The
motorman and tho lnundry wngon mnn
stopped work to see what was coming. In an
Instant tho beer mnn had reached a decision.
His whip cracked fiercely and the ponderous.
powerful horses moved slowly forwnrd.
Tholr movement was easy, but Irresistible.
At the samo tlmo the coachman called to
his team to back. Tho polo of the beer
wagon pushed tho delivery wagon up ngalnst
tho trolley car. Tho carriage backed enough
to leave a spaco about three feet wide.
"Tho littlo girl rodo fearlessly into this
spaco. The horso nttnened to tno ucuvcry
wagon objected to being pushed about by
tho beer team and began to dance. Tho
motorman seized him by the bridle. The
laundry horso was ahead. The laundry man
Jumped to his horse's head, and, nt tho risk
of n broken wheel, turned him so thnt there
was little space between him and tho wagon
next.
"Tho child had not slackened her speed
prcceptlbly. She flashed by the motorman,
touched tho end of the shaft of tho laundry
wagon, humped over tho car track and
passed away up tho clear street beyond.
"Tho Inundryman in his fright had given
his horse's head a Jerk that caused a pull
which freed his wagon from tho fender; the
beer wagon had backed up and released the
dellvory wagon and tho motorman had leaped
upon his car. With a clang the car stnrtcd,
tho lighter vehicles wore soon under way
and the beer wagon man cracked his whip
merrily. As soon ns he was under wny on a
clear road he mopped his brow and said:
" 'Veil, by Gott!' "
On a bet of $2,000 Jamc3 Clayton of Gulf
Mills, Pa hns started to tour the United
States awheel. He must not uso any other
means of progress, not even walking, unless
the road shall be abrulutcly Impassable,
and must return by March 28, 1001, having
meantime visited every city of 600,000 in
habitants or over, getting the signature in
each city of either the mayor or chief ot
ixdlce. Mr. Clayton is not an expert rider.
Tires should bo kept as cleiin as possible
In order to obtain the beat service from
them. Adhering material of any kind should
always be removed as t,oon as noticed, nnd
after a ride tho tires should be sponged oft
with clean water and carefully dried. It
has been noticed that tires will last longer
on country roads than on city streets, even
If tho latter art? of asphalt. This Is prob
ubly due to the ammonlcal nature ot the
dirt of the city pavements, for rubber Is
curious stuff, and Its properties aro not
fully understood, but experience teache3
that. In tires at least, It lasts longer it kept
clean.
Many riders are careless In the matter of
resting their wheels ngalnst a wall. The
correct manner, which avoids any scratch
ing of enamel or nickel, and at the same
tlmo provents the machine from tailing or
slipping away, Is to turn tho front wheel
slightly Inward and tho back wheel close
to the wall. This allows tho saddle to rest
agalust the wall and keeps tho handlebars
clear.
ATHLETES DOING GOOD WORK
V. 31. C. A. fi round I'llleil Kverr
MkIiI with AMplrnntH for
Athletic; Ilonnrn.
Slnco tho equipment of the Ames avenue
park ns an athletic training ground tho ath
letes of tho Young Men's Christian associa
tion aro coming to bo n more formidable
factor In local Held and track sports. Every
night as many as fifty mako uso of the
grounds, nnd the baso ball diamond, tennis
courts, blcyclo track and other attractions
come in for n full sbaro of attention. A
number of tho strongest of tho Young Men's
Christian association team aro in actlvo
training for the national association meet,
to bo held at Lako Geneva July 20 and 21,
Tho events will bo of a varied character
nnd will glvo a specialist In almost any line
a chance to show his prowess.
One of tho most promising of tho associa
tion men Is W. E. McBlroy, whoso general
work lias been exceptional during the win
ter nnd spring. On tho high Jump McElroy
has reached 5 feet 1114 inches, the highest
point touched In any collegiate contest or
nssoclatlon meet this scnton, At the east
ern Intercollegiate contest the high mark
was 5 feet lO'j Inches, whllo at tho western
meet 5 feet 10 inches was the best score,
Tho nearest approach to McKlroy's record
was that recorded at tho meet of the Ama
teur Athletic union on the Fourth of July,
5 feet 11H Inches. McElroy is relied upon,
therefore, to carry nway nt least the high
Jump, nnd he has aspirations for several
other trophies, With tho vaulting polo Mc
Elroy has reached 9 feet 6 Inches with very
littlo practice.
Ono of tho most praiseworthy attempts
engaged In by tho Young Men's Christian
association this summer has boen the ro
vlval of tennis. Tho game had apparently
hopclesBly dlud out beforo the onward march
ot golf, and since tho old-tlmn champions,
Culllngbam, Austin, Young and Hascali are
dead or scattered. The courts at the Shrlner
havo been faithfully patronized during the
last fow years, however, nnd In other Iso
lated spots throughout the city the game
has managed to survive. So at tho Fourth
of July meet the Young Men's Christian ns
soclatlon management decided to try tho ex
periment of conducting a tennis tourney
equal to thoso which wero iwcloty anil ath
lotlc events of no littlo magnitude In the
halcyon days ot tho game. The tourney
met with unexpected favor, there being
twclvo entries in tho singles and flvo teams
In tho doubles.
In this city, howover, was plainly mado evi
dent In the results, tho prize all going to
out-of-town players. W. II. and Isaac Ray
mond of Lincoln had no difficulty in carry
ing away tho trophy for doubles, while they
alio won the first and second prizes in the
singles, A number of tho locnl men are
planning rovenge and expect to mako a mor
creditable showing nt the stato tourney to
be held under the auspices of the Lincoln
Tennis club in August. As a preparatory
experience tho local players will engage
In a handicap tourney the latter part of the
month.
