Whatever the politicians may have thought of ex-Secretary Foster's administration of the Treasury Department, it may be regarded as certain that he went out of office with the es- i good withes of Washington artists, During his term he gave them commissions for no less than eleven portraits of his predeces- sors in office, amber makes com- plete the Test: lection of portraits of Secretaries of the Treasury from the or- ganization of that department to the pr ent period, Of these Mr. Brooke paints Me ne and Bristow; Mr. Hardie paints pain Dexter, Gresham and and ata Howell Cobb. Utke's portrait ale, it may be added, is tobe sent to Chicago, to be included in the Treasury Department exhibit in the World's Columbiwn Exposition, It is @ strongiy mod- cied and life like portrait. '. oweky, the Russian artist, who painted those showy pictures “A n Wedding Feast” and “Choosing the Bride,” which have been exhibited in New York for somo time past, is now visiting this country. His pur- pove is to stay several months, to go to the Chicago Exhibition in July, and also to rketch for future use whatever he may find character- istic of the country. Meantime he will open a studio in New York, hoping to pick up some ait painting. This evening the water color and binck and white drawings by Zogbaum, wich have been on viewat the Fischer art store for the p: three weeks, will be removed. The results of this exhibit must hi been most gratifying artist, as the exhibit uot only added ma- terially to bis reputation. but some sixteen or eighteen, or about one-ihird of the whole col- lection, have been sold, and,as Mr. Fischer says, to petcons who are not alone patrons but exacting judges of art. te ‘The places vacated by the Zogbaum draw- ings, as above, will be occupied next week by a display of pictures by Mr. Gruelle, an Indiana artist, who has a justly earned reputation where his work fs known.

But most of the club captains are hold- ing off for warmer weather and better roads, and although Easter comes earlier this year than usual it 1s hoped that it will bring good spring weather with good condition of the roads in order that the wh men may go into the country and once more enjoy the pure air and pick wild flowers. Easter Monday the Clifton Wheelmen of Bal- timore will hold a five-mile road_race at Lake Clifton, in which Maryland and District riders are to participate. ‘This city is to be well rep- resented in the race, as some of the best riders in the Arlington Wheeimen have already en- tered as contestants, ANEW CENTURY CLUB. Next Tuesday there will be a meeting of wheelmen representing Pennsylvania, Mary- land and the District of Columbia held in Bal- timore for the purpose of forming the organ- ization, already mentioned in ‘Tm. Stan, to en- courage long-distance road riding. The meeting Will be held at the office of the Eisenbrandt Cscle Company, No. 11 East Baltimore street, and it is thought that thia city will be well rep- resented. Already most of the long-distance road riders of Baltimore and this city have sent in their names and the organization starts out under favorable conditions. Among the Washingtonians interested in the new organization are Messrs. Wood, Yeatman and Woolridge of the Columbia Cyele Club, and it is likely that one of them will be elected to fill an important oilice in the lengue. THY GEORGYTOWS CYCLE CLUB. Capt. Cook of the Georgetown Cycle Club has made arrangements for the entertainment of the club at Dickey’s tomorrow. Thi be their first trip of the season to Dickey’s, aud although it is too early to expect a full xnce on a e¢lub run, Capt. Cook expects the club will make a good <howing. The run bas been cailed for 9:30 o'clock and dinner will be served about 1 p.m. The return trip will be made in time to reach home before dark.

Two weeks from this evening the team will meet a strong array of whist players from the famous Phila- delyhia club. The second game will be played in Philadeiphia, CBESCENT CENTURY WHKELMES. Capt. Otterback of the Cresceut Centary Wheelmen sara he does not intend to call « | club run until there is a decided change for the better in the conditions of the roads, He thinks Easver Sunday early enough for the opening of the season, and it is more than hkely that there will not bea club run catied until then. Laat evening tho regalar mon‘hly business meeting of the club was held, at which questions of im- portance to the club were disposed of and wev- eral new members were elected. A NEW AMATEU: RULE. The Great Powers Inve:ted in the Racing Board. That the L. A. W. has made a mistake in its new amateur rule we fear it wil! discover ere the season be half gone, saya the League Bulletin. For if that rule mea ching at all it ineans compelled to net. ged about by restrictidus, the board is empowered and re- quired to sispend upon any suspicion of guilt, | and if it does this there are going to be very few of the fast riders who can escape. That is, providing the board does its duty, which it will y. The members have the courage of their convictions. Pating the circumstances of last year's racing, when, ax is well known, all the cracks were, with but few exceptions, directly sup- porte? by the money of the mazufa direct and co ve proo! being now n longer required, it follows as a matter of course that the montent the fast men begin riding at the tourna: their conduct becomes ject for nd ones begun inevitable ending. Had class E been adopted there need have been no more hypocrisy or eirenmioention, and that it was not we hink will be found to have been a seriove blunder. It was shelved on the question of politic expediency at. th very time when it conid have been earrir h votes pledged to have insured a large favor. Butin order to conciliate all partion the temporizing policy was adopted, and if in the near future the promoters of the large race meets find the crack: all auwpended and them- selves without men to ride al their tournaments to blame but thomeelves, wile the L. A. W. may ye: take scant comfort when it find rack# ont of its fold and within the sheltering arms of the N.C. A. THE SIDE What Has Been Done for the Cause of Goot Koada, The question of good roads has been before the League of American Wheelmen fora num- ber of years, and it is generally admitted that | to the riders of the silent steed is due credit for securing improved conditions of the high- ways in various parts of the country. While the wheeimen are still endeavoring to improve the roads generelly the Side vocating ‘he establishment of eide paths. Mr. Charles 'f.

The hollow in the center formed by throwing up these furrows was then. filled in with common dirt. -Thia was thor- oughly rolled with an ordinary stone roller and the surface then covered with three or four inches of gravel. Any slight depressions re- maining afier the first treatment were then filied and the path was rolled after every rain for a month or six weeks, By September the path had assumed a hard, compact form, and the pleasure in riding over it was fully equal to the pleasure of an aspha't pavement. We expect during the coming #u mer'to add a couple miles more, and. if the wheelmen of this section rally to our aid mor unanimously, we can push the work and com- plete the entiro stretch within two or three Years. We have kept a deep ditch between the Path and the road at all points, which will pre- Yent teams from driving over on to the path whenever the road is bad. Such a job once done is done for generations. ‘The bowlders we have removed will never roll themselves back, and the tile pipe we have put in will last for ages. Possibly some slight ad- | ditions to the surface may be required from time to time, and some trimming of trecs may j have to be dong, but these are only trifling com- pared to ths enormous expense required to make and keep a first-class road in good order. Mr. N. A. Waite of Hudson, Summit county, Obio, has interested himnelf in the question of food roads, and one result of his investigations this statement: “At one time last year wheat went up to $1.15 a bushel and staid thore for quite a little while. The furmers of Summit county could not market their crop, for the roads were im- passable. When they could get their wheat they received 85 cents a bushel for it. In this iance bud roads cost the farmers of Summit 0 believes in taxing every bi- cycle some sum, probably not to exceed $1 per Fear, this sum to be devoted to road improve- ment. He says on thispoint: “No owner of wheel could justly object to such a tax for such & purpose and surely no person would receive & grenter benefit from good roads than would the owners of wheels.”” NOTES OF CYCLERS. Personal Gossip of Many Riders of the Wheel. Jobn 8. Johnson, the wheelman who made such « brilliant record last season, is attracting more attention now than any other wheelman. Having broken bicycle records in the summer he started out to break skating records in the winter, and in this he also succeeded. {tis stated that Johnson will, at the close of the coming cycling senson, go to Norway and train for the great international skating races held at Christiana annually. It ix a question with | Johuson just now whether he will stick to the wheel exclusively or try to keep in training summer or winter for the pursuit of both sports. It seems likely that the latter course will prove too hard for long continuance, and the probability is that he will try to beat the foreigners on their ground next year, but after that will devote his attention to ihe wheel. ‘The executive committee of the Canadian Wheelmen’s Associntion met last week and dis- cussed the professional question. ‘The feeling wan decidedly in favor of raling out makers’ amateurs from purely amateur racea and mak- | ing a separate ciass for them. The committee will make a recommendation to the annual meeting of the association next month, and if adopted the result will be that nearly all the crack riders in Canada will be ruled out of the purely amateur even Arace between J. £.

A Sketch of the New Senator From Ken- tucky and His Wife, William Lindeny was born in Rockbridge county, Va., September 4, 1835. His grand- father, James Lindsay, was one of the Scotch Lindsays. He, being a younger son, emigrated from Lanarkshire, Scotland, and settled in Vir- ginia shortly after the close of the revolutionary war, Judge Lindsay's Scotch-Irish ancestry comes through his grandmother, whose maiden name was Nancy McCampbell. His father, Andrew Lindsay, was born in Virginia and married Sallie Davidson, who was also of Scotch- Irish descent, He was educated in the best schools of his native county and from boyhood expressed the ire to become a lawyer. This ambition was discouraged by his father, who held to the ides that the independent country gentleman was the highest type of the American and tha: fail- ‘ure at the law was the general rule. Unable to overcome his father's objections he left Virginia at the of nineteen and settled in Hickman county, Ky. Here he taught school and studied law and in 1858 commenced the practice. He Was successful and was getting a good business, when the civil war broke out and turned his attention into different channels, WAR SERVICE. He assisted in raising a company of Kentuck- | ians, took service in the confederate army and was attached toa Tennessee regiment. Ascap- tain of his company he engaged in the battles of Belmont and Shiloh. At the end of the year he was transferred to the seventh Kentucky regiment aud served with it to the close of the war, being paroled asa prisoner of war at Co- lumbus. Mirs., on the 16th of May, 1865. After the surrender Capt. Lind-ay returned to Hickman county and resumed the practice of iaw and alittle Inter wax elected county attor- ney for Hickman county. In 1867 he was elected a member of the state time ho sorved with Mr. Carlisle, | gan their warm friendehip. In 1870 a demo- | cratic convention was called to nominates judge for the court of apreals for the fourth district and Lindsay, though mentioned, was not among the candidates. ‘There was a» dend- Jock, which the convention was unable to break. Finally the names of Judges Rogers and ney were withdrawn and Capt. Lindsay was nominated as the choice of the convention. Judge Rufus K. William, then chief justice of the court of appeals, eutered the race as an independent demoerat, but Lindsay wns dns! successful, After serving eight year on the bench, two vears of which he was chief justice, Judge Lindsay resumed tho practice of law at Frankfort, Ky. He was a candidate first against Gen. Williams and then against Carlisle for the United States Senate.

When the present contest for the United States Senate was opened Judge Li not at first inclined to enter the race.
