SCHEDULE OF THE PROPOSED RIDE Assistance to Be Had From Out- side Pacers. THE MILITARY CYCLISTS The military cyclists have just completed arrangements for their great relay ride between this city and New York, the pre- parations of which have been going on for the last four months. After numerous de- lays it has at last been decided to begin the race at noon on December 1, which will be Sunday. Nothing in the way of natural eiements will stop the ride unless there is snow on the ground, which will be too deep for the bicyclists to ride through on their machines. Barring this the start will be made rain or shine, though go0d weather is earnestly hoped for on the occasion, as it will materially tend toward having a quick ride. Intention of the Relay. This is the longest relay ever undertaken in this country by a inilitary company, or, in fact, any organization of Hmited mem- bership. The roster of the military cyclists bears the names of but a few over thirty men, and most of these will be put in use in the ride. The relay is intended to be a practical demonstration of the ability of a cycle in case of war in carrying messages from post to post or command to command, regardless of distance. The number of mili- tary cycle companies in the country ts lim- ited to two or three, and the Washington company takes the lead in the matter of enterprise in riding a relay of the kind contemplated. The use of such companies for war purposes has not as yet been fully realized, and just such rides as will be taken by the local company are tending to bring into prominence the value of a bi- cycle troop to an army as an auxillary. Gen. Miles is an earnest advocate of the use of the bicycle for such purposes, and he has repeatedly recommended them not only on special occasions, but also in his annual reports. With much foresight he perceives that the bicycle is destined to be a valuable adjunct in modern warfare. ‘The proposed relay ride of the local com- pany, however, originated entirely with the members of the command, who were de- sirous of pushing matters. To such a pro- gressive movement in this direction Gen. Miles, of course, encouraged and sanction- ed the project. Gen. Ordway was not one whit behind him in the matter, and he, too, lent his aid and encouragement, and with the fullest approval of their high superior officers the company worked hard for the ride. Official recognition has been given to the proposed relay, inasmuch as the mem- bers of the company will ride in pursuance to a general order issued from head- quarters. As before stated, the ride has been under contemplation for the past four months, and things were partially arranged for the event to come off last month, but some little obstacle arose which pre- vented it. As a good portion of the ride will be after nightfall it was recognized as being highly desirable for the aims and ob- jects of the ride to have it occur when the roads were well illuminated at night with the gleams of a good moon. According to the almanac the next full moon will show itself on the night of December 1, and on th!s account that date has been selected for the relay ride. This may seem to be a trivial affair, but its importance and as- sistance to the ride can only be recognized when it is taken into consideration that the members of the company in the ride are entirely unfamiliar with the topography of the country through which they will go, and every little. assistance is of value. Schedule of the Ride. According to the schedule of the ride pre- pared by Capt. S. H. Wiggins and Lieut. Frank Libbey, who have been in charge of the ride, the distance is 249%; miles, and twenty-three hours is allowed in which to cover it. This is the maximum of time, and allows plenty of margin for improve- ment. In some cases the men will prob- ably take up all of the time allotted to them for their relay, but in other cases, where the roads are good, the ride will probsbly be made much lower than the scheduled time. Only twenty men in the company will be used in the ride, and they will be stationed at the beginning of each relay. In all there will be ten relays be- tween the two points, the shortest of which will be sixteen and a half miles, while the The longest will be thirty-five miles. schedule Is as follows: Relay No. 1—Capt. S. H. Wiggins and Sergt. R. P. Durfee; Washington to Colum- bia, 2814 miles; three hours. Relay No. 2—Privates Harry Gaither and W. R. Moulden; Columbia to Baltimore, 20% miles; two hours. Relay No. 8—Privates R. H. Atkinson and Fred Franz; Baltimore to Belair, 21% miles; two hours. Relay No. 4—Privates Robert Campbell and Eugene Riva; Belair to Havre de Grace, 20 miles; two hours. Relay No. 5—Sergt. H. K. Gibson and Pri- vate Theodore Michael; Havre de Grace to Glasgow, 16% miles; two hours. Relay No. 6—Sergt. Arthur Bennett and Private F. M. Willis; Glasgow to Wilming- ton, 17 miles; one and one-half hours. Relay No. 7—Corp. A. Alexander and Pri- vate Ball; Wilmington to Philadelphia, 28's miles; two hours. Relay No. §—Privates Joseph DeSilver and George Frech; Philadelphia to Trenton, 32 miles; three hours. Relay No. 9—Privates J. V. Tierney and George Pryor; Trenton to New Brunswick, 30 miles; three hours. Relay ‘No. 10—Lieut. Frank Libbey and Private Bert Pitkin; New Brunswick to New York, 35 miles; three hours. The time schedule fs as follows: Washington, December 1, 1895, at am.; leave Columbia at 10 o'clock a.m. leave Baltimore at 12 o'clock noon; leave Belair at 2 o'clock p.m.; leave Havre de Grace at 4 o'clock p.m.; leave Glasgow at 6 o'clock p.m.; leave Wilmington at o'clock p.m.; leave Philadelphia at o'clock p.m.; leave Trenton at 12 o'clock midnight; leave New Brunswick at 3 o'clock a.m., December 2; arrive at New York, 6 o'clock a.m., December 2. Condition of the Roads. The condition of the roads for the dis- tance is as follows: From Washington to Baltimore, a fair road, the average ridable public highway; from Baltimore to Belair, about the same, If anything, slightly worse; from Belair to Havre de Grace, only fair, with plenty of hills; from Havre de Grace, sandy and in extremely bad condition (this stretch of road at one time was considered unridable for bicycles); from Glasgow to Wilmington, slightly better, with less hilis and sand, but still a bad road; from Wil- mington to Philadelphia, extremely good surface, though rolling, remarkably good from Chester to Philadelphia; from Phil delphia to Trerton, excellent, like a parl floor, with no hills; from Trenton to Ne} Brunswick, very good path riding in day time, with only one bad hill, though not so good for night-time riding; from New Brunswick to New York, good roads, with no hills thovgh the passage through the large cities of Newark, Elizabeth and Jer- sey City may slightly retard the relay riders. Assistance of Outside Pacers. Arrangements have been made to receive assistance from outside riders all along the ride, and this will prove of much value to the relay riders. With good pacing fast time ought to be made, at the same time the correct road maintained. All these ar- rangements are conducive to good time for the relay ride. Local wheelmen will do the pacing as far out as Columbia, when they will be relieved by Baltimore cyclists, who will carry the relay men as far as Belair. From this point the Belair wheelmen will assume charge, and do the pacing from their tewn to Havre de Grace. Near this town riders of the Wilmington Bi. Club will make their appearance and carry the military boys to a point near Philadelphia. This will be the longest distance of pacing performed by any one club during the ride. The Keystcne Wheelmen of Philadelphia will take up the riders just outside of their city and rece them to Bristol, N. J., where Gabriel Schlesser, jr., of that place, with a number of friends, will turn in and assist as far as Trerton. At Trenton the Mercer County Wheelmen will_haye representa- tives ready and carry fj cing to New Brunswick At this point bisut. Stevens of the regular army, stationed at Fort Ham- ilton, with several other ks, will set the pace into New York cit; The message will be delivered to Capt. Wiggin by Gen. Ordway, ang he will start sharp at the appointed time from theNation- al Guard armory. It was origjnally intended to deliver the message to ‘Gen. Miles, in New York city, but as he will Hot be able to be in New York at the time, the message will in all probability be delivered to Mayor Strong. While this has not as yet'beew definitely set- tled, it will most likely be:the dase. Will Go Over the Road. In order to see that everything Is all right along the line of the ride, Lieyt. Libbey and Private Bert Pitkin, whe wilj run the last relay, will personally visit every station and look over the field. They! wilf ride their ma- chines, and have mapped out a schedule, to which they will ride. They will leave this city at 4 o'clock in the morning of Friday, November 29, and will reach Baltimore at 9 o'clock the same morning. After stopping over one hour they will reachBel Air at noon, take dinner, and, after seeing that all ar- rangements are made for proper pacing, will leave at 1 o'clock and reach Wilmington at 6:30 in the evening. They will lay over here for two hours, and then proceed to Philadelphia, which city they expect to reach by 11 o'clock at night, having covered 153 miles in nineteen hours, of which fifteen heurs were spent in riding, an average of 10 1-5 miles per hour, They will leave Philadelphia at 10 the next morning, and after stopping over at Bristol for an hour, will arrive at Trenton at 2 o’clock in the afternoon, leaving there at 4 o'clock, and arrive at New Brunswick, the starting point of their relay, at.7 o'clock in the evening. Their ride for the day will then have been sixty-two miles, in nine hours’ time, or six hours’ actual riding time, an average of 10.13 miles per hour, ‘The other rijers in the relay will leave the city in plenty of time to reach their places before the message will arrive. General ar- rangements for this have not been made. Some of the men will ride to their places on their wheels, while others will take the train for the nearest point. The aim of most of them will be to reach their relay some hours ahead of the regular time, so as to enable them to ride over the roads, and gain some familiarity with them. The Military Cyclists. The Military Cyclists are comparatively a new organization, being but three years old. The company was organized largely through the efforts of Mr. Frank Libbey, who called the first meeting for the early part of December, 1892, at his office, then on 13th street. With the assistance of sev- eral others he interested a number of bi- cyclists in the enterprise, and Gen. Ord- way, who was invited to encourage the boys, was delighted with the idea himself, and bcomed it right along. The result was that through energy and hustle, before the end of the month, the company, with a complement of twenty men, was mustered into the Natioral Guard as the second sep- arate company. Its officers then were: Captain, Frank B. Couch; first lieutenant, William Balch; second Meutenant, Frank Libbey; first’ sergeant, Harry E. Crook; quartermaster sergeant, Benjamin Wall; second sergeant, John L. McQueen. Clar- ence B. Story succeeded to the captaincy, and hele it for nearly two years. He re- signed this summer, and S. H. Wiggins, the present incumbent, was elected to the cap- taincy. ‘The officers at present, in addition to Capt. S. H. Wiggins, are as follows: Frank Libbey, first lteutenant; second leutenancy vacant; first sergeant, H. K. Gibson; sec- ond sergeant, R. B. Durfee; quartermaster sergeant, William Sorrellg,,.The roster of the company ts as follows: S. H. Wiggins, F. P. Libbey, H. K. Gibson; R. B. Durfee, R. G. Pryor, A. Bennett, A. Alexander, W. R. Moulden, J. F. DeSilver, Harry Gaither, W. B. Jackson, J. V. Tierney, W, E. Sor- rells, William "T. Smith, |, M.’ Washburn, Fred. Lindsey, Fred. Franz, William J. Lewis, F. M.'

The Shamrocks were defeated yesterday at Capitol Park by the Canterbury foot ball team by the one-sided score of 14 to 0. The latter team was the heavier by fifteen pounds, and as the Shamirocks could not stand their rushes, the game was lost to them. Watson, Boyd and Paterson played good foot ball for the Canterbury while Newcomb and Dougherty were the stars cn their side of the line. Two twenty-minute halves were played, and the ground was in a bad condition from the rain. The teams lined up as follows: Canterbury. Positions. Shamrocks, Lannon -Left end. Mackey ‘Left tackle. Lynch Downe -Right guard. -Cowsell ‘enter, ight en -Right tac Langley. Left guard. Hopper. Watson... Peterson. Boyd... FE Substitutes—Wilson and Reese for Canter- bury; Kennedy and Haskell for the Sham- rocks. Foot Ball Notes. The “Woodleys” are now champions of the northwest for their size, having yesterday defeated the “Mt. Pleasants” by a score of 8 to G6, and recently defeating the “Little Rocks” by a score of 16 to 0. The winners ined up as follows: Goode, center; O'Brien, left guard; Hewitt, right guard; H. Kauf- man, right tackle, Quinter, left tackle; J. Kaufman, left end; Lyman, right end; Shea, right half; Mulligan, left half; Hurley, full back; Tindall, quarter back, captain. ‘The Columbia Athletic Club and the Balti- more Athletic Club foot ll elevens will meet this afternoon at » on Columbia Field to struggle for supremacy. As this is the first out-of-town game in which the C. A. C. has participated, it Js likely that a gcod attendance will ensue. The Baltimore team is said to be an exceptionally strong ore, so that the Columbia athletes will have their hands full. A challenge has been tssued by the ’Var- sity tem of Howard University to any team in the District, the Columbian College and Gallaudet College teams preferred. The team will play the Athletic Association of Norfolk, Va., at tional Park tomorrow, and a very close game is looked for. Racing at Elkton Next Spring. It is quite probable that the Maryland Racing Association will give a spring meet- ing on the Cecil county fair grounds, at Elkton, Md., as a number of the fair asso- ciation’s directors favorable to leasing the track to the racing association have been elected. A lease for next year has been drawn up, and will be ready before the present one expires. It is stated that ra ing will begin again in January, in antici- pation of adverse legislation in the present republican » although the ofli- cials of the ra sociation refuse to admit that such is their intention, Peril of the A. AU. The governors of the New :¥ork Athletic Club of New York have deckded to with- draw from the Metropolitan Association of the American Athletic Unign. The club was the strongest in the union, and it is pessible that if an athlétie warfare ts be- gun the A. A. U. will gé to pjeces, though this is not admitted Ly.the friends of the vnion, : The reorganized Manhattan’ Club is now in the Metropolitan ‘Aspects nm of the A. ‘A. U,, and there is every reason to believe that in order to maintain its prestige the New York Athletic Club will attempt to form a new union. r Dunraven’s Charges Discussed. The regatta and cup committees of the New York Yacht Club met in joint session yesterday afternoon to consider the charges made by Lord Dunraven that the Defender had changed her ballast after measurement for her race with Valkyrie. The meeting was really a conference to discuss the best plan of action to be pursued and the routine ne to communicate with Dunraven relative to the production of facts before an investigating committee to be appointed later. It is understood that there was some talk of the possibility of ex- pelling Dunraven from the club, but the gentlemen present decline to say ‘what line of action was decided upon. —— “When the War Was Over.” The final chapter of the absorbing mys- tery story, “When the War Was Over,” is published today on page 14.

ANOTHER CUP CHALLENGE The National League magnates finished their business at § o'clock last night, in New York, and adjourned until February 24 next, when the schedule meeting will be held. Very little has been accomplished at the meeting, at least very little has been given out. No changes were made in the rules ard the umpire question remains as it was, with a probability that the double system will be adopted in the spring. It was nearly 1 o'clock in the afternoon be- fore the tired and weary magnates got to- gether, and then they had a conference with Umpires Tim Hurst, Bob Emslie and Lynch. As a result of this conference the following resolution was adopted: “Resolved, That the rules committee when elected are requested to submit to this body an amendment to rule 59, substantially abol- ishing the infliction of money fines and em- powering umpires to remove from the game any player who after being once cautioned continues to be guilty of violating any of the rules and in case of serious violation, . re- move him without such caution.” The national board was increased by one member, the election resulting in the choice of Messrs. Young, Byrnes, Brush and Soden. Mr. Brush is the new member. Directors for the ensuing year are Messrs. Vonder- horst, Wagner and Soden from the east, and Hart, Stuckey and Kerr from the west. The new committees on playing rules consists of Messrs. Reach, Von der Ahe and Hanlon. It will be cbserved that President Andrew Freedman of New York is not on any com- mittee. In fact, the league has sat down very hard on Freedman, and his schemes to clip the wings of the other magnates have miscarried. The only deal that went through yesterday was one by which Brooklyn secures Tommy McCarthy, the fast little Boston fielder, for a cash consideration of 36,500. Big Dan Brouthers will very likely cover the initial bag for the Phillies next year, and Jack Boyle will go behind the bat and alternate with Clements. The Breoklyn club drafted Frank Bonner, the second baseman from Wilkesbarre, and outfielder Jones from the Springfield club. To Blacklist Deserters. During the meeting President Byrne of Brooklyn arose, and, with the preface, “In time of peace, prepare for war,” offered a resolution which provided that any club of- ficial, manager or player who joined any other base ball organization, or entered into negotiations with any intending competitor, or in any way interested himself with any enterprise inimical to the Nationg] League monopoly, should forever be abolished from base tall; there was to be no appeal, no reinstatement, no tribunal. The cases of these alleged offenders were never to be considered. They were simply to be dead from the national agreement point. Nine clubs voted for the resolution. New York, Philadelphia and Boston voted nay. Heretofore, if a league paid for class A protection under the national agreement, It received $1,000 for a drafted player to the National League. Now the sum is cut to $00, and in return the price of protection is cut down one-half. This amounts to but a small sum compared to the loss sustained by the minor league clubs, which are nur- series for major league stars. The Western League is a class A organization. The East- ern League is class B. The members of the latter will only receive $250 whenever a player is drafted, instead of $500. The rule goes into effect in 1897. THE THANKSGIVING DAY GAME. Wells Makes no Statement in Regard to Lehigh. Regarding the denial of the statement in last Saturday’s Star that the Columbia Athletic Club and Lehigh University would play on Thanksgiving day, the following communication has been received: “In regard to the rumors that have been circulated of late about the prospects of the foot ball eleven of the Columbia Athletic Club playing a game with Lehigh University on Thanksgiving day, I will state that until last Saturday morning I regarded such a game as a certainty, but since then unfore- Seen circumstances have happened to c siderably alter the prospects of our obtain- ing such a game. I am endeavoring, how- ever, to make arrangements for a game be- tween our club and some other organization on that day. Very truly “LEWIS S. W “Captain of the Columbia Athletic Club “And manager of the foot ball team.” Will Challenge for the Cup. Special to the New York Times. LONDON, November 14.-Sir George Newnes, the millionaire owner of the Straud Magazine and of Tid-Bits, formerly the liveral member for Newmerket, has re- solved, I am told, to give an order for the most perfect thing in yachts that British science is capable of, and next year, when the present row shall have blown over, will issue a challenge for the America’s cup. Sir George Newnes is a devoted yachts man, and also a gentleman in the Ameri- can sense, of the word. Capt. Slavin Accepts Maher's Challenge. Frank Slavin has accepted the challenge issued by Peter Maher, and will, if possible, centest with him for the champlonship of the world. Jim Corbett does not take interest in Dan Stuart's latest proposition, in which he named El Paso or a point near there as a battle ground for Corbett and Fitzsim- mons. Fitz, Signs Another Agreement. SAN ANTONIO, Texas, November 15. Fitzsimmons and Julian arrived here today. Julian said he had received a telegram from Dan Stuart saying he made satisfactory arrangements for a battle ground between Corbett and Fitzsimmons. Julian said Fitz- simmons had signed a new agreement to fight Corbett at El Paso for a purse of $20,- Quo, hung up by Stuart, and a side bet of $10,000, and that Stuart would at once go to New York end force Corbett to either fight or back down. Crescents and the Oranges. The Orange A. C. management goes right on with preparations for the game with Yale at Manhattan field, New York, Satur- day, as though no such organization as the Crescent A. C. existed. That Orange will put in her strongest team against the New Haven people is assured. Crescent will surely appear at Eastern Park Saturday afternoon, and will be rea: to play Orange the last game in the seri for the champlonship cup. They will claim the trophy by default Harvard, 0; Boston A. A., 0. The Boston Athletic Association played Harvard to a standstill at Cambridge yes- terday afternoon, neither side scoring in {wenty-five minutes of play. Disputes mar- red the game, which had to be called on ac- count of darkness. In the second half the Boston players resorted to dilatory prac- tices in order to have the game called. Har- vard finally got the ball at the forty-yard line and Cabot circled the right end for twenty-five yards, bringing the ball within fifteen yards of the goal line. The Bostons here held Harvard for four downs, getting the ball just as time was called. Ives and Gallagher at Billiards. In the Ives-Gallagher billiard match at New York, in which Ives has agreed to run 600 points a night to Gallagher's 240, it looks as if Ives has undertaken to work under too big a handicap. His opponent is far ahead. At the end of the play Tuesday Ives was 189 points behind, and Wednesday he was still worse off, making {t necessary to roll up 1,154 points last night to Gallagher's 240.
