The journey from Baltimore to Belair, Md., was taken up by Privates Atkinson ‘and Franz. The next relay rode from Belair to Havre de Grace, Md., and the next one from Havre de Grace to Elkton, Md., which was reached at 3:06 p™m., one hour and forty minutes ahead of time. The military cyclists arrived at Wilming- ten, Del., last evening, one hour and twen- ty minutes ahead of schedule time. Wilmington pace makers met Washburn and Gibson at Havre de Grace, and the lat- ter two rode to Elkton, where Willis and Bennett took up the ride to Wilmington.

The Chances Slim of Making a Fight With Fitzsimmons. Dan Stuart of Texas is again in New York. His object is to bring about a match between Corbett and Fitzsimmons, to take place at El Paso, Texas, some time about the holidays, for a purse of $20,000. Corbett also arrived last night. told of Stuart’s arrival, he had “I am much surprised at Stuart's aking another journey to this city. I for- merly considered him a smart fellow, but from past experiences as regards his rela- tions with me, he is simply on a fool's er- rand, if what I hear is to be the object of his visit. He can’t bezin to hold a conver- ation with me about fighting unless 1 see the ready money placed in the hands of responsible parties, and even then the chances are slim of my rescinding my for- mer assertion of retiring. Again, this fel- low Stuart has cost me any amount of time and money, besides plenty of worry and bother.” Stuart said he had a proposition to make Corbett, which he refused to disclose until he met the champion in person. Stuart fur- ther claims that it will bring Corbett about to an agreement for a fight. John J. Quinn, the manager of Peter Ma- her, arrived In’ New York yesterday, and said that he will match Maher to’ fight Fitzsimmons after the latter has finished his theatrical engagement. When this to PENNSYLVANIA'S GREAT WORK. Second Foot Ball Season Without a Defeat. The foot ball season of 1895 has ended, with University of Pennsylvania having a record unapproached by that of any other college. The boys in red and blue played fourteen games, winning all of them and scoring 480 points, as against 24 made by their opponents. Chicazo Athletic Club, State Colles: arvard and Cornell were the only teams that suceeeded in scoring. The highest number of points made in any one game was 5 nst Lehigh and the University of Vir- and the lowest 12, with Chicago A. C. and Brown. This makes the second consecutive season that Penusylvania has gone through without defeat. 1 ylvania will retain her entire team for Xt year, with the possible exception of Bull, Wagonhurst and Farrar, who are elig- ible to play, but who may not return to the universit The election of a captain has been deferred until after some definite agree- ment has been made with Harvard. There e two candidates in the field—Brooke, the great fullback, and Williams, this year's captain : ooke will be found on the Pennsylvania team next year, This is authoritative. Should he be declared ineligible against Harvard, now ever, he is not likely to be chosen cap- tain. The Advance Cyclists Delayed. Lieut. Libbey and Private Pitkin of the Washirgton Military Cyclists, who will ave the last relay in the military relay race between Washington and New York, recched Philadelphia Saturday afternoon. The riders sey the road as far as Wil- mingtor was in a wretched condition, ana tired ovt before reaching that however, decided to push on » and io w at Philadelphia until before resuming the ride to the ng point, Both men were in first- ss condition.

This was offi- elally announced last night. The new agreement is for only one year, though it is understood there will be return games in the spring of 1897. Proposed Intercollegiate Race. There is a movement on foot to establish an inter-collegiate regatta, and a meeting of Harvard and Yale on the water in this way is among the possibilities. Coach Wat- son of the Harvard crew has fully made bis arrangements with Cornell University and will shortly submit them to the ad- visory committee, but just what they are is not divulged. ‘The formation of an inter- collegiate race for next spring has hardly assumed definite shape as yet, but it is un- derstood that several men are working hard to effect it. Centrals Won Again. The Central High School foot ball team seem to have a firm hold on the champion- ship of the High Schools so far as this year is concerned. They again defeated the Eastern team Saturday by a score of 12 to 6, although it looked for a time as though the Eastern boys were going to retrieve their defeat of the Saturday previous. With the score of 6 to 0 in their favor at the end of the first half, Capt. Kelly was hurt, and as he could not play with his ac- customed vigor and snap, the Centrals made three goals just about as they pleased. The attendance at the game was large. Foot Ball on Georgetown’s Campus. The class of '98 was victorious over the class of '97 In the third game of the Inter- class League foot ball schedule on the Georgetown University campus Saturday afternoon. The game was called at 3:45, and the contest was a creditable one in every way. The score stood 10 to 0 at the end of the second half. Only ten minutes were played in the second half, the game being stopped by darkness. The teams lined up as follows: Dillon. R. Walsh. AGS t. - Tremoulet . . Romadka. . & Douglas. pate Welsh e.

With the aid of a slight knowledge of anatomy and a common sense application of it, bicycle riders may avoid much of the fatigue that very often makes trips of greater than. customary length anything but pleasurable. Fatigue is a necessary evil, even on a perfectly adjusted wheel that moves like the wind at the touch of the foot, and particularly is this true of young and inexperienced riders. Complete freedom from it is only gained by keeping in constant physical tralning, a condition which few persons in these busy days are able to fulfill. But much relief may be gained by a study of one’s muscles «and an adjustment of the position of the body and limbs, so as to distribute the strains and change the form of action demanded of the muscles. The wrist is the place where weariness Is socnest felt, and this may be quickest re- Meved by changing the grip so as to catch the hanales with the palms up. Another way is to raise or lower the shoul/ers so as to change the angle at which the wris are bent. This will be found to afford in- stant relief. if the pain runs into the elbow, as It of- ten will, when the road !s rough, all that is necessary is to sit up straig] so as to straighten the arm, and, when this becomes tiresome, to again lean forward. The pectoralis major, or great chest mus- cle, is often the source of considerable pain after a long bicycle trip. But the remedy is always at hand. Pain follows upon the unnatural bending of the ba for a long period, the muscle being ¢ tracted. Straighten your back and the pain will dissappear. But the muscle that is most subject to peinful fatigue is the rectus femorus, the great, straight muscle of the thigh. No other muscle in the body does half as much work on the wheel as this, for it not only straightens out the leg when the foot eces down, but pulls the knee up again, in the next movement. It is the great push- ing muscle in cycling. Some relief can be gut from weariness in this great muscle by temporarily shifting one’s position on the saddle, backward or forward, as much as possible, so as to change the angle of the thigh and leg. Resting one leg at a time, witH the knee bent at a different angle as you travel over eusy spots in the road, will also bring great relief. But when this muscle cries out for reliet the most effective plan is to dis- mount and walk until the pain disappears, as it will in a few moments under this lis anticus is relieved by changing the gearing of the wheel, so as to work the ankle as little as possible. It is the same fatigue that ts felt in fast walking for a considerable time. Fatigue at the ankle joint is also relieved by chang- ing the gearing. oe Dived From the Third Floor. Dill Moss of Somerset, Ky., a traveler for cinnati, killed himself Friday night by iving from the third story of the Shipp Hetel, Chattanooga, being instantly killed. Moss ‘arrived November 17. He was as- signed to a room in the third story of the hotel, and had evidently been drinking hard, and remarked that he had domestic troubles. Vhysicians were called in, and he was under treatment when he made the fatal jump. Be. WOMEN OF THE FAIR|s Feminine Types Seen at the Atlanta Exposition, STROLL THROUGH ALL THE VILLAGES French _ Girls Daheing in the Streets OfSCgiro. . ESKIMOS IN me CE PALACE Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. ATLANTA, Ga., November 30, 1895. The fcminine types cf the Atlanta expo- siticn are well worth stu@ying; from Maine to Mexico they come, and from even far- ther than that. There are specimens who hall frcm Alaska, and from the hottest climes in which human beings can exist. The best way to study the foreign types is to begin at the Mexican village, and from thtre to make a circle around the grounds and buildings. In the Mexican vil- lage one finds three distinct varieties of women. The first is a woman who Is al- mest Spanish, with only @ slight mixture of Indian blood; she is tall and.straight, and her skin is thoroughly Spanish, being a cream white, with a bright color on the high cheek bones that betrays the blood of the red man. Her hair is black and wavy, her lips scarlet, while to the soft, lan- guorous beatty of her eyes is added that intensity, that brilliancy of vision, which comes frim a race of lordly savages. Tails girl is the best dancer of the lot; the wild fire is in her veins, the grace of the pan- ther fs In every movement, and she wears such colors as none but an Indian and Spaniard cculd mingle harmoniously to- gether. The next type is the Mexican woman, who !s more Indian than Spaniard, and this mixture produces always a rather stunted, though interesting specimen. The men and women are both short and thick- set, with black, beady eyes and high cheek bones; their physique does not make them, however, like the corresponding specimen of cob-horse Englishman. The wcman fs lithe, and a wonderful bearer of burdens, for she has the thews and sinews of a Sandow. Like that little Mexican mule, which can carry a burden weighing three times as much as himself for a day, with patience, she has the enduring power which enables her to take upon herself the arduous agri- cultural labors of a man. She dances, too, and very well. There are bright beads abcut her neck, and her silk and cotton garments of rainbow hues are embroidered in gold patterns. The tiniest little feet and ankles are hers, with flim lttle fingers, tapering artistically, telling one that she is dainty in feminine arts as well as a sturdy worker. ‘There are a group of girls representing the rext type, and of all the women at the exposition they are the most interesting. It is the first time that they haye ever gone out of thelr own country, and they are the direct descendents of the famous Aztecs, being the few representatives left of that greatest Indian tribe. These women are tiny creatures, exquisitely formed and re- fired in feature. hey;-carry their heads with that up-bearing grace of the full- Llooded Indian. Their! skins are not red, but a cleer, smooth copper color that shines like gold iu the sun. Phetr hair is coarse and black as ebony, and they are decorat- ed with bright feathers and gay orna- ments. These women make the most beau- tiful pottery which comes to us from Mex- ico, for they have kept the old Aztec forms and decorations in their art; they also weave pretty baskets’ and do wonderful embroidery. On the Streets\of Cairo. Leaving the Mexican/villege one comes to the streets of Cairo, which leads to the Midway Plaisance. Here there are a lot of French women posing as Egyptian darcers, but among them there is one gen- uine yourg creature from, the orient, and She looks amidst the Testiof the tawdry gang as a splendid tropical flower would Icok in the gardens of a piay house. She is medium in height ard ha#a magnificent ecmplexion. She is really beautiful, and is interesting as an oriental. type. Her eyes are the lcng, almond eyes, possessed by all the heroines in the Arabian Nights, and her hair is as Mack ‘and fine as any onyx that went to the making of Solomon’s temple. Her Hps, scarlet as pomegranate blosecms, and in her face, is that mys- terious sensuous charm of the oriental wcman—that charm whick has more depth of meaning than the French woman’s flir- tatiousress or the Spanish woman's co~ quetry; an attraction which does not seem to be making an effort to attract at all, but Is simply there, and one feels its po- tency. The oriental beauty wears wonderful gar- ments. Draperies of gold about her loins, silks studded with jewels and belted about the waist with a girdle of brass inlaid with turquoise and corals; draped over her shoulders and gréceful head are diaphanous silks from the looms of East India—fabfics so fine that one could almost draw them through the eye of a needle, yet large enough to fall from her bando of sequins to her tiny feet, where the bangles jingle about her ankles. e In the Dahomey Village. Just above the streets of Cairo comes the Dehomey village, and ‘here one finds the African woman in her most horrible state— almost nude, and entirely like an ape. Her feet are bare, and illustrating com- pletely that odd formation of the negro keel, which, in extending so far back, seems to have taken all the calf out of the ankle. Her legs look like ebony drum sticks. Even her lips are black, but to re- deem the widespread, sensual mouth there are two rows of dazzling ivory. Their eyes, too, are soft and appealing, kind, yearning eyes, that shine on their fellows seeming to ask for help in darkness. These women have a dance peculiar to them- selves; they move neither legs nor trinks. The motion is made entirely by the arms and head, and it makes one think of the movements made by the negroes of our own land scattering corn along the row. As tor garments, these consist mainly of a brown sack about the loins and a string of beads, to which modern feminine progres- sion has added occasionally a gauze shirt as a mark of distinction. The girls in the German. village follow Dahomey. We all know the type—Gretch- en, blcnfe and smiling, very awkward, but very feminine also, for the large hands are cullivated in womanly arts, and the big, cumbersome feet will walk virtuously and submissively through the path of matri- meny. ~ ‘Then comes the beatuy show, with its tawdry collection of Bowery representa- tives of the women of the various nations, and here one can see Trilby, draped or un- draped; Trilby, with @ face that might have been pcssessed by 4 feminie satyr, and an anatomy that thight have pleased Aubrey Beardsley, but is Not to the liking of a rude populace. - The Chinese Beauties. The Chinese beauties are next in order, and the “spieler’’ announces them as “the sweetest, most modest''little ladies on the midway.” They sit ona tostrum in chairs of state, their hands foiied submissively in the flowing sleeves, their faces with as mvch feminine expressfon’ as countenances cerved out of Ivory. The¥ smile now and then, and you fancy ‘when they do that scme string at the back of their necks has been pulled for the purpose. One of these odd little papier mache maidens is consid- ered the beauty of the lot) and, in her own little Chinese way, she! is’ quite cute. Her tiny body gorgeously arrayed, her trousers are of purple and gold, and the long gar- ment that covers the body to the knees reveals a panoply of birds and insects of every hue on a ground of shimmering white and gcld satin. Her pretty ‘ittle hands are laden with many rings, among them that jade circlet which no woman of her race is without, since it is said to Sting good fortune aad luck in love to the wearer. The slim, insinuating and altogether vi- cious Parisian of the Moulin Rouge dis ports her gauze-bedecked anatomy before the populace on the platform in Sront of the Fernch Theater. She is too common a ce of public property to be described, as also the next female in the sequence, i ‘faced, inning mermaid who is to be found in Roltaire’s Tlusions, flirt- ing her albreviated tail and chewing gum as she ozles the crowd. She ts quite as enuine, in her way, as any of the other ‘ypes.

In the Ice Palace. Nttle Eskimo woman in the ice pal- ac has a warm smile for a cold day, and one is led to see her by the spleler’s cry on the outside: “Come in,” he cried, “ladies and gentle- men. You have ceen a hot show, come in and see a cold show; this is a decent, re- fined performance; you will not leave this with a blush on your cheek.” Pia place is run by two preachers, and the long, learned discourse which one of them, a bald-headed xentleman, in that inevitable white iie, tells you is to the ef- fect that the Eskimo women is the best and kindest woman in the world, and al- though her one form of marriage is to ac- cept a sct of furs which her lover sends her, she goes with him and remains faith- ful ever after, as the story books say. Passing from the midway across the rail- rcad te the negro building, one has the opporttnity of studying some interesting specimens of the African race, for the mulatto woman is usually either homely cr handsome. If her tendency is toward red- dish hair, gray eyes and great freckles, which form blotches on her face, she is, of course, hideous. On the other hand, there have always been in the south exceedingly handsome mulatto specimens. These are usually taJl women, with fine, supple fig- ures, the waist long and slender and bust and shoulders like those of an Egyptian. Often, too, the straight nose, coming right out from the forehead, and the full lips, also suggest that their owner might have descended from that mysterious, ancient race. The quadroon woman is, of course, much lighter; her hair is straight, and she frequently has gray or blue eyes, instead of the dark ones that go with the deeper hue. ‘There sre, however, not near so many of these light-colored negresses as there were ten or fifteen years ago. Now and then one will stray through the woman's build- ing, a really beautiful elderly woman of this type, one who in old days was maid or seamstress of some fine lady. They cerry themselves with grace and dignity, and usuaily wear black frocks, with white muslin handkerchiefs. As is the case with most people of a mixed race, the mulatto is short lived, and frequently the 1, handsome feminine specimen will, between twenty-five and thirty, shrink away into a feded woman, with consumption or some other fatal disease. Charm of the Japanese Vil The Japanese village is near the woman's building, and there these bright little crea- tures of that much-poetised race are to be fovnd in Obit and Kimona; like a cluster of gay birds in their rainbow dresses, they look ir the tea house, and they serve yo there with such a deft, humble, dain grace that you can almost fancy your cup of tea to have been wafted on lily leaves by the southern zephyrs.
