THIS YEAR’S L. A. W. RUNS. Return of the Season for Renewing Mem- bership — Prizes Offered in the Local Division—News of the Washington, Arling- ton, Georgetown and Capital Clubs. 8 THE CYCLING season progresses the wheelmen are finding additional road houses, until they have pow found a phice or two in every direction where they can get accommo- dations over night or meals on Sunday. The =, latest road house opened is at Vour Corners, Montgomery Ma.,where the memb | ofthe Washington Road Club will go next Satur- day. The place is to be known as “Garvey Lodge” and has been established for the enter- nt of wheelmen. In Rockville there is eazue hotel, while at Brookville, Cabin John reat Falls and Marlboro’, there are also places where wheelmen are welcome at all times. In Virginia there are not so many places, although Dickey’s, on the Virginia side of th river at Great Falls, is perhaps one of the most opular resorts for wheeimen. Then there is a Fairfax Court House and another at scenery and a good all the way from here to that ancient Virginia village.

Starting from the Hotel Arno at 10 a.m.. the members of the recently organized club rode out the Brookville pike as far as Norbeck. When within a short distance of Norbeck Lieut. Woolridge’s chain snapped in twound he had to walk to the village, where the wheelmen went to work and soon patched up the damage so that the lieutenant was ablo to ride with the others instead of having to walk to a ruilroad train and return hoie., From Norbeck the road was found to bein bad condition, but with a little extra exertion the wheelmen made their way alon ville and put up at the Corcoran, the L.

Ganse was first to reach the Free bridge, making the trip in twenty minutes and thirty seconds. Wake scored the distance in twenty-one and a half minutes, Ronsaville in twenty-two and a half and Moran in twenty- threo minutes, Capt. Jose and Lieut.

Some of the members went up Saturday even- ing at 9 o'clock, but on account of the swollen condition of the river they were unable to cross until morning, the ever-ready lock keeper af that point having in the meantime come to their assistance and afforded them shelter for the night. In the morning the re- mainder of the club were on hand, together with a number of guests and friends. When the Angler's Club House was reached Ed. -y's tire concluded to spoil the rest of the day for him and expleded. The wheel was taken from the machine and carried to Dickey’s, where, with thenid of Mr. F. P. Libbey’s re- pair outtit, it was mended and made ready for the retura tri leasant day was enjoyed by all, base ball and fishing bei led to aid in the revelry. Presitent Gettinger, now that he rides a wheel no wore, wns compelled to resort to horse and carriage aud with some friends arrived in time to sit down to dinner. Ov the way home Terry established a record of twenty minutes and fourteen seconds from Cabin John Hotel to the Free bridge, the only Previous record from Cabin John to « point in city being one of thirty-two minutes, made by Mr. Sandoe of the Arlingtons from Cabin Jobn to 9th and H streets northwest. Mr. ‘Terry is confident that he can lower the time made by him on Sunday. Tomorrow morning at 9 o'clock the club will start for Occoquan Falls. GEORGETOWN CYCLE cLUB. Capt. Cook called » run for Rockville for last Sunday and there was @ good attendance on the run. The start was made from 82d and High streets at 9 o'clock, Cock selected the pike to ride over ward trip, thi be would road for the homeward members of the Capital ville they sat at Club, and on the return county, | harch, while at Occoquan Falls there ia | Fin | the road which the, Cepital men bad passed over earlier in the day. At Cabin John bridge astop of several minutes was made and then the wheelmen scorched in reaching the Free bridge from Cabin John’s in twenty-eight min- a joying this trip Messrs. Ben Hunt, J. J. Fister and George Hunt, riding under the club colors, made a century on the road between here and Frederick, reaching the century post in eleven hours and twenty-five minutes. Tomorrow morning the club will go to Oc- coqnan Falls along the tracks of the Alexancris and Fredericksburg railroad, and the wheelmen will get dinner ut the village tavern, where they are always well fed. This week the regular monthly meeting of the club was held at the residence of Capt. Cook and considerable business was transacted, The club adopted a uniform to consist of slate- colored knickerbockers and blouse, with black mohair braid trimmings, with black hat, stock- | ings and sweater. A century emblem, con- | sisting of the letter “G" in @ wheel, to which |are to be attached the century bars earned by the riders. CAPITAL BI. cLUD, Although the regalar program was not ad- hered to last Sunday's trip of the Capital Bi. Club was an enjoyable one. Owing to the rainy weather early in the morning there was not a large attendance on the club run, A trip to Fairfax Court House was intended, but | Macdaniel was well aware of the effectof the wet weather in that section, and then, too, when a trip to Fairfax is made the captain likes | to have a large enough party to do justice to | } the dinner at the hotel. | When a few members had assembled at the club house a start for Cabin John bridge was made, but as the road was found in good con- dition and the ride was a short one, the party contiriued up the road and then turned toward the right, ging to Rockville via Offats Cross roads. Keaching the county seat of Montgom- | | ery county, the wheeimen heard the cheering | | news that a movement was on foot to resurface the pike as far as Bethesda, if not all the way © the District line, which’ would make Rock- ville a popular place with the wheelmen. After enjoying dinner at the Montgomery House the | wheelmen returned over the pike, finding it | lmost impassable in some places between | Rockville and Bethesda. Capt, Macdaniel has not decided upon a trip for tomorrow, but will let those participating in the event select the route. CARROLL INSTITUTE. The Carroll Institute run Inst Sunday to Silver Spring and Takoma was well attended, as was the afternoon run. ‘The latter event was a “cross country” run via Benning, along the footpaths, over and under fences and through fields, returning through Anacostia. The trip was a rough one, but there was not a single mishap to mar the pleasure of the run. ‘Tomorrow the elub will go to Falls Church. ALTAIR CYCLE CLUB. Ata meeting of the Rover Cycle Club. held Wednesday evening, it was decided to change | the name of that organization, it to be known hereafter as the Altair Cycle Cla. Three new members were elected and other business of im- | portanee Was transacted. During the past two weeks numerous runs were taken by the club. Some of the more im- portanteones were to Baltimore, Washington Grove and Alexandria. The following is u schedule of runs for the month of May: To Colesville, Ma. To Bethesda Park. To Ben Anulers’ Cla To “ite ty To Cavey Chass, E: ‘fo Kensington, Ma. Altogether the club isin a most flourishing condition,and with its steadily increasing mem- bership it bids fair to become one of the leading clubs of this city. SS INTERNATIONAL THE MEET. Amateur Clyclists of the World to Meet at Chicago. ‘The greatest interest in cycling this year will attach to the international championship con- tests which are to be decided upon the new | track at Chicago. England’s best men, Ire- land’s, Scotland’s, Italy’s, Germany's, C ada’s, France's and even the crack racing men from the Antipodes are expected. This much reveals the character of the intor- national championships. The best men in the world will be drawn into competition, The public will look to see records broken and they willnot be disappointed. This is » year for glory for the racing cyclist, and no one need be surprised if the mile record goes down as low as 1.50. It is the expectation that at least 30,000 peo- ple will be in attendance each day. The meet- ing will last for a week, beginning on August 7 and ending on August 12, ‘The entire arrangements are in the hands of the League of American Wheelmen, which body receives the active co-operation of the American members and president of the inter- national union. This is the first time in the history of cycling in the world that international races worthy of the name will be held. World’s championships, soi-disant, ure common enough, but heretofore they have always been confined to one country which had two or three indifferent men not typical in anysense of the highest form of racing in their countries ax competitors. A change has come about. A fow months ago the Britons, realizing the farcical character of these so-called international championships, called for aconference of all amateur cycling’ bodies in the univers Fran England, 's resented and America, Canada, Germany, Ireland, otland. Italy, ev were rep- a union wae formed. Henry E. n of the nutional racing eof American Wheelmen, was chosen president, and Chicago, already chosen as the theater of the great’ national cycling event this year, was named as the place for the first truly international contest. Not everybody can compete in the international tournament. Men must qualify for such a distinguished honor, just as they must qualify for national championships. The one-mile Engkish champion, whoover he may be, aud he must be known this year before the international championships are run off, meets the one-mile champion of all other coun: tries; amateur champions, not professionals, for the international union’ takes no cognizance whatever of professionalism. So with the quarter-mile international championship, the half-mile, the two-mile and the five-mile. Americans are singularly hopeful and they have cause for being in such a condition. Within the past two years American racing men have forged to the front and distanced the next of the world. The mile recerd, as estab- lished in America, is seven seconds faster than las ever been achieved by any foreigner. There are in this country three or four men capable of making a mile, without distressing themmelves much either, inside of 2.03. Plenty'of people think that with fayorable conditions and with the assistance of good, clever pacemakers Zimmerman can goa mile inside of 1.50. Johnson made the mile with artificial assistance in 1.56 and Johnson, by comparison with Zimmerman or Windle, is slow. In fact, the speed that lies in Zimmer- man, Windlo and Taylor is unknown. It will be drawn out this yeai As has been stated above, it is the intention to make the Chicago meeting renowned in his- Everybody is contributing to this end. of thousands of dollars are being spent to equip a track and provide comfortable quarters for those who will come to see. Thousands of dollars will be expended in trophies, such as the Saltonstall urn, a magnificent silver design valued at $1,000, challenge shields that cost almost as much, donations from rich manu- facturers, from foreigners who have an acute interest in the sport, from people who wish it well and from people who prosper by its growth. ; ‘Tho prize value which the L. A. W. recentl: set upon allevente within ite jurisdiction will be removed upon the occasion of the interna- tional tournament, It will be “a no-limit” game. This is one of the reasons why so many men are willing to leave their own coun- tries to come hore with the hope of winning. A prize worth $300 or $400 is common enoug! imany country, but prize worth @1,000 or more tempts men sorely. Nor the enthusiasm end with the Chi- cago mecting. Ne sooner is it over than all the many racing men will make a circuit of the country, taking in first many of the large cities in the west and then traveling through the racing centers in the east.

The retarded condition of athletic matters in this city this spring and the still unsatisfactory arrangements for sports is to be regretted. But with the active co-operation of the athletes themselves and the officers of the various or- ganizationshaving these mattersin charge, there yet be a good amateur sporting season in ington. SECURING VAN NESS PARK, It was expected that the question of securing ‘Van Ness Park for the Columbia Athletic Club would be aguin brought before the board of overnors at the regular meeting, which would ave occurred Thursday night. President Coon, however, was absent from the city, and a number of the members of the board were in New York witnessing the naval review, so that was impossible to obtain a quorum to trans- tany business whatsoever. The announce- ment that the board was likely to reconsider their refusal to lease the property has again awakened interest in that matter, and the ex- pressions of a great many members of the club are thet the decision reached will be reconsid- ered. It is understood that a more favorable proposition has been obtained from the owners, and that with this, and the decided sentiment among members to obtain an athletic park, will influence some of tho board to change their votes. Itis to be hoped that in the interests of amateur sport that this will be done. The injury which will come from the loss of work this year by the athletic members, who are making such excellent progress, would be diffi- cult to overcome. ‘The grounds of the Batchelor Tennis Club have been taken for building purposes and they are seeking some other property upon which to locate their court. It is understood that it the Columbia Athletic Club secured the Van News Park that they would locate their teunis grounds at that place. The revenues which would accrue from this action and the varions games to be played this season would surely meet the expense attached to leasing the park. Itis probable that n- special mooting of tho board will be called and this matter again taken up. ATHLETIC AND MUSICAL ENTERTAINMENT. In the meanwhile Instructor Crossley and Capt. Mooney are making elaborate preparations for the combined athletic and musical enter- tainment which the club will give at the Academy of Music on May 16. Unless present indications fail it will without doubt be the finest amateur exhibition of ita kind ever seen in this city. Those who are expected to_ participate have become especially interested in meking this af- fair outdo in every detail anything that Wnsh- ingtonians have had an opportunity to see, The work of Crossley, Sewell and Mooney will com- are most favorably with that of professionals. The musioal portion of the program will not be excelled by the athletic. Although the program has not beon completely made out, it is ox- pected that among others the Washington Man- dolin, Banjo and Guitar Club and the Washing- ton Sengerbund will be present. FIGHTENED AWAY BY BATEMAN. Capt. Mooney is experiencing considerable trouble m arranging matches for the special sparring contest which will be given on May 6, He is persevering, however, and will make the contest of as good a quality'as any one could do under the circumstances. ‘The fame of Bate- man has apparently spread widely and those who are desirous of meeting him him are not very numerous. It was thought when he agreed to give Holland six pounds the better of the weight that the latter would agree toa match. But he also has been frightened off, and it ix not exactly known who will be the Co- lumbia’s new aspirant for fistic honors. ANOTHER ATHLETIC ORGANIZATION. By providing its members with a gymnasium the Young Men’s Hebrew Association have en- tered the list of organizations that will un- doubtedly be heard from in amateur sporting circles. Among its members it can count a number of first-class athletes, Sam and Phil King probably being the best kuown. The gy pasium is not as yet in a completed condition but when all the ‘apparatus is in piace every thing wecessary will be afforded the members to perfect themselves in physical condition. It is the intention of the association to obtain an instructor, but it has no one in view just at present. A bicycle club will be organized and a base ball team will be placed in the field THE COCKED HAT TOURNAMENT. ‘The third and last series in the cocked hat tournament at the Columbia Athletic Club be- gan last night. ‘The assignments for nevt week, with the number of pins made by each cone tostant in the first and second series, are given here.

One couple re- cently arrived with three brand-new trunks, To the handle of each was securely tied an old shoe, The trainmen had enjoyed the joke and had not disturbed the shoes, but our porter re- moved them. We saw that Mr. and Mrs. Honey- moon, however, were informed of it. “We frequently receive letters and telegrams addressed with “a pretix—tor instance, “Mr. Newly Married Ponsonby,’ or with some word that gives them away. most unique thing in this line that I ever saw, however, was about forty postal cards tied loovely but securely to- gether at one end with a piece of blue ribbon, and each addressed in the manner I have re- ferred to, with amusing variations, “This is the season for wedding couples in Washington,and the capital rivals Niagara Falls asa resort for the newly wed.

S. attor- ney,” are not shouting quite #0 loudly now as they were before and after election. “Because they happened to bring Californ into the democratic column they thought that they were te be rewarded with oflices, especially the Japanese mission, which had come to be looked upon as a California office. So they journeyed across the plains to accept the offices they thought were waiting for themand then they journeyed back again, a disgusted lot, and they feel very sore now, for only the collector of the port of San Franciseo has been ap- pointed. “I don’t think California will remain demo- cratic. Itis alarge wool-growing state, and much of its great fruit industry is us well’ pro- tected by the tariff. California didnot like Harri- son nor the convention which nominated him, it being composed largely of office holders. Those that went from Caiifornia were mainly office holilers. So there was no enthusiasm, and it was a very dead campaign with us. Many re- publicans voted for Cleveland and his great per- Sonal popularity inspired the democrats. At the next election this inspiration will be lack- ing, and from this and other causes the old golden state will fall buck with the republicans again.” Ex-Gov. William Claflin of Massachusetts is at the Arlington, returning home ftom a trip south, Gov. Claflin served three terms in the gubernatorial chair, three terms as lieutenant governor, two terms in Congress and for many years was on the republican national commit- tee. “While south,” he said to Tue Stan repre- sentative, “many questioned me as to whether Gov. Russell would run again. Of course, I have no knowledge as to his intentions. Several democrats of standing said they thought that he would be given a federal appointment. He has not yet signified his purposes, nor have the democrats named any one. Among the possi- dle republican candidates are mentioned Post- master William T. Hart of Boston. Roger Wal- cost, present lieutenant governor, and ex-Sena- tor Dawes. “Gov. Russell possesses the distinction of being the only demecratic governor who has werved three terms in half a century. Before the war Gov. Morton served two, but not successive terms. Gov. Boutwell was elected by the democratic and free soil partie but bot governors went over to the republican arty subsequently. Three years thus far has en the limit of re-election, and whether Gov. Russel aspires to establisi a new precedent re. mains to be seen. “It is absurd for the democrats to claim Massachusetts on national issues, certainly not such ws they now have in stock. The demo- crate will tind, when they come to deal with the tariff question, tliat in Massachusetts it will cut both ways. The state is now enjoying reat prosperity in its manufacturing interests and many new mills have been built during the past five years.” Leslie P. Ross of Norman, Cleveland county Okla, member of the territorial senate and chairman of the territorial democratic com- mittee, is in the city. “The territory,” he said to Ta Sram repre- sentative, “is very close politically. There are about 2,000 independent voters that hold the balance of power. The relative strength of the partios is 13,000 republicans, 12,000 demo- crats, 5,000 populists and the 2,000 floating, as we term them, voters, “Only two or three of the present republican territorial officers resided in the territory at the time they were appointed, the others being appointed from the outside. ‘Those who were appointed from the territory have administered the duties of their office better than the others, and this is because they have interests there hitaker, 283; Fred W.

I think that Oklahoma will become democratic if we have a prudent man for gov- ernor, one who is determined to do right under all circumstances. A good man, by a careful administration, will make a very favorable com- mn vith the nt administration, which not all that it should be.
