WHEELING THROUGH HISTORIC COUNTRY. COMMENT OF A SPECTATOR SEEKING SOUVENIRS A Great Demand for Gifts at the Cycle Show. WOMEN LEAD THE PROCESSION ‘Many Interested Bicycle Novelties Exhibited. Local Contests of Whist, Checkers and Chess. Delightful Way of Spending a Vacation. BUSINESS AND WAR HOW IT CAN BE DONE PILLSBURY’S EXPLANATION ‘The cycie show gives a good chance for the souvenir hunters, who undertake a sys- tematic crusade against each booth, and fre to be found in numbers at both ses- sions dajiy. They want something, no mat+ ‘ter what it is, regardless of its value, shape or use. If nothing else can be obtained, a ‘catalogue will suffice, after they are as- red that this is all that will be donated. If some cf these scuvenir cranks heard that @n exhibitor is giving away bicycles they ‘would probably talk the poor fellow into Such a state that he would feel lke giv- ing them a brick house with modern im- provements and fit it up in excellent style ff he could only get rid of them. The wo- men are in the lead in the souvenir hunting ‘busin<ss, and very little that is given to the general public escapes them. Judging by the interest manifested at the show by these fair searchers after free gifts, one would imagine that they were thoroughly conversent with bicycles and bicycle con- struction and every other detail connect- ed with the rijing and repairing of the ma- chine . A Star reporter met one of them the sec- md night of the show, who was indignant ecause she didn’t get more than she had, in spite of the fact that her arms In a short time now we shall hear again the same old query that blossoms out per- ennially, “Where are you going this sum- mer?” To wheelmer. desirous of a change, and who are undecided as to their season's campaign, I would suggest a cycling trip abroad; if time and money are both limited, a two-weeks’ run in old England. This may at first appear an expensive outing, but if the trip is properly planned and sensibly carried out, any one can ac- complish it on the same sum spent an- nually at the seashore or in the mountains. An account of a successful trip actually made will be worth a dozen plans of how it might be done, and the plain statement of our cycling experiences in England and on the continent may be of interest to wheelmen who are considering the ques- tion of a summer’s campaign. First we will consider the expense of a two-weeks’ run through England, under- standing from the start that the cyclist is willing to put up with modest ccuntry ac- commodations, such as would be met with on long rung at home. The steamer tickets must be. secured early in the year, to take advantage of the lower rates, and to get the pick of accom- modations. ‘The start is made from Wash- ington to Baltimore by wheel. in time to catch the 5 o'clock boat for Philadelphia. What It Cost. The following is an itemized list of ex- penses: Steamer The whist match between the long and short suiters took place in New York city last Saturday evening, and resulted in a victory for the short suiters by six tricks. The victors were represented by Messrs. Andrew Gilhooley, Clarence Henriques, W. E. Hawkins and R. F. Foster, the Man- hattan Club’s four, and the long suit team were Messrs. E. A. Buffinton, A. E. Tay- lor, C. Hatch and William Donald of the Continental Club. The short suiters gained in each of the first four rounds of eight deals each, and .were twelve tricks ahead at the end of the thirty-second hand. Then the long suiters departed from the agreement entered into at the beginning, viz., that they would play long suits, ex- cept when calling for a lead through an honor and opening a short suit to show four trumps. They led a singleton king, and again led a singleton eight of trumps, when an adversary had ace turned up. By this means they were able to gain five tricks in the fifth round and one in the last round. The total score was 28 to 22 tricks. The short suiters claim. that the match was a victory for their system. Mr. Milton C. Work of the Hamiltons of Philadelphia, however, who was present at the match, claims that the result of the match was due to the superiority of the Manhattan team, and not to that of the system. He regards Messrs. Hawkins and Henriques of the Manhattans as two of the best players in the country. He admits that the long suiters departed from their system in the manner ind-cated above, but asserts that | | An Interesting Exhibit. with an angelic smile on their faces and puckered-up lips, trying to look their best, while the nimble-fingered artist deftly cuts out the outlines of their faces.’ This artist is the busiest person at the show in the evening, and from the opening to the clos- ing hour he is surrounded by a crowd anx- jously awaiting a sitting. “Bert” Owen’s Novelties. The combination wheel at the Owen ex- hibit attracts a gvod deal of attention, and with the aid of a wrench, in a few seconds, the machine can be changed from a man’s to a lady’s wheel. In the same exhibit is the pyramid or triangular frame wheel, prophesied to be the coming wheel. This tyle of wheel can be made lighter than the present diamond frame, and likewise constructed and sold at a cheaper figure. Another novelty in this stand, the inven- tion of the exhibitor, is a pedal which clamps the shoe s‘milar to the clamping of the front part of a skate. By thrusting the shoe in the pedal the clamps are tightened, and the harder the shoe is pushed forward the tighter the clamps grip the sole. In this stand also are the oil-retaining cones and head bearing, with the use of which it is claimed a machine can be ridden for a year without oiling. The Base Ball Season of the Local College Teams. The local college clubs’ season will be opened this afternoon, when the Colum- bians will play Gallaudet at Kendall Green. The Columbian University base ball nine will play the Yale Law School nine Friday, March 27, instead of Marct: 28, as announc- ed. The game will take place at Capitol Park at 3 o'clock, and as the law school this year has even a better nine than the one which represented that portion of the university last year, an exciting and close game is exnected. The ‘varsity boys have been steadily at work and are gradualy getting in good shape. The team that will play Gallaudet is as follows: P., Beard and Cummings; c. Don Fugitt; 1b., Harry Greene; 21 “It te the most dreadful spot on the American continent,” said a distinguished Frenchman who once visited the notorious New York slum known as the “Five Points.” The same opinion was ex- pressed by Charles Dickens after going through this dangerous quarter with an armed police es- cort. The five points, in those days, was famous as the abode of thieves, thugs and murderers. In recent years this unsavory district has un- dergone 2 marked improvement. Today it com- pares favorably with similar quarters of other great elties and most of this improvement is due to the celebrated Five Points Mission and its army of Christian workers. This excellent organization has performed and is performing a great and noble work. One of th> greatest works of the mission is to minister to the sick and it is a work that has been highly successful. And yet the officers of the wission hav. been enabled to combat a vast amount of sickness and afford reilef in many eriti- cal cases with the aid of but one standard remedy. It is, of course, a remedy well known to the medi- EDUCATIONAL. to Philadelphia and cal profession and one that has been prescribed by many eminent phyeicians, Beale, among the people connected with our mission is Warner's Safe Cure, and I am able to state they have received great benefit from it and are ready to testify thereto.” Mrs. N, Elliott, a visitor of th presses a similar opinion. She says: “After uci Warer'’s Safe Cure amcng our mission people for several months, I regant it as a public duty to indorse it as a safe and sure cure for liver and kid- ney and female complaints. One very severe mission, ex- of the world making men, the short suiters did the same, and that the play of the latter is nearly like that of the best players of Philadelphia. Mr. Harvey McCay of the Baltimore club has withdrawn his challenge to the Man- hattan Club. He declined to be dictated to as to how his team should play.

It is a wheel that is claimed to be the smallest ever manu- factured, and it is. probably true. It was manufactured by the Dart Bicycle Com- pany, and is with the Smith exhibit. The wheel weighs about eight pounds, and has a miniature diamond frame, with sprocket wheels, pedals, handle bar and all other accessories in similar proportions.

During the week there were two of these jeweled wheels on exhibition, one of them decorated by Tiffany, while the other is mounted in gold for exhibition purposes by the Spalding people.

The Itinerary. The following itinerary is a good one to follow if the time be limted to fourteen days, as it takes in the prett!est scenery and best roads of England, passing through Cheshire, Warwickshire and the midland counties, and returning through picturesque Derbyshire, vis:ting the princi- content with draws. He says he had to Flay to win, and that he dropped games that he would have drawn easily in a match where draws did not count. He states that his return home prevented the propo: tournament between the same players at Warsaw, and that Schiffers and semi-annual meeting, and it was decided to have, besides the regular athletic commit- tee, an advisory committee, formed by men from different departments of the univer- sity. There will be a representative from the faculty, one from the college, one from the law schoo}, one from the school of medi- cine and two from the Alumni Association. The junior yard at Georgetown is do- ing great things in athletics this term. Though base ball has always been a feature of the “preps” side, still their team have never been so strong before. A large sum of money has been expended in suits and equipments, and with the good coaching of Mr. Raley, there is no doubt that their debut in the athletic world will be a success. Mr. J. Keane of Washington is the captain of the team, and Mr. M. Barry of Norfolk is man- ager. The positions on the team are as fol- lows: Catchers, C. Tobin and J. Reddy; pitchers, C. McIntire and C. Williams; first base, T. ‘tealf; second base, P. Burnes; third base; J. Keane; short stop, M. Sulli- van; right field, M. Barry; center field, O. Tobin; left field, J. Murphy.

One dealer stated that the demand for buttons is so great that the first twe nights he gave out five thou- sand of these souvenirs to individuals, and that he had asked his company to send him on five times that number.

But for this victory the cable match would have resulted in a draw. it is quite noteworthy that in five of the eight games played in the match, the first move made was P—Q 4. In the remaining games two were Ruy Lopez, and one Guioco piano. The French defense was not tried. Neither was it tried in the St. Peters- burg tournament. Pillsbury says he thinks it is not likely to be piayed in serious con- tests by players of the highest rank, but that in tournaments its drawing pow=rs will make it popular with the less attack- ing players. He thinks the Ruy Lopez and Queen’s pawn openings are likely to hold the fort of popularity for some time. In the match between Showalter and Kemeny the first move in each game has been P to K 4, and the openings thus far have been Petroff, four knights and Ruy Lopez. It would seem, therefore, from recent matches that there is a disposition among strong players to play openings which tend to more brilliant games than those which were in vogue a few years ago.

Souvenir hunters evidently care but little what they receive, so long as they get something. The following discussion, heard the other afternoon, is a fair sample of their ways: “Oh, Mollie,” said . 1 woman, “TI for- got to tell you thai there is a stand over there where they give out free riding school lesson tickets. I got two from the man, and I'm going to give one Miss Jones and the other to Miss Blank.’ ‘Did you only get two tickets?’ asked No. 2 woman, with much surprise. “Why, there are three places here where you get their first appearance today on the home grounds.

Real estate agents tell strange stories about the houses which are placed in their charge by the owners, who shift on them all care and responsibility, and, for a @er- tain percentage of the receipts, expect the houses to yield the regulation revenue. But sometimes houses will yield nothing but worry and expense. With everything in the way of location and architecture in their *favor, houses sometimes remain vacant for long periods, and in many instances the owners blame the agents, but find later that superstition and not laxity on the part of the agent bars the way to rents and revenue. Houses in which several people hav within a short period are k a time cn that account. agent said, “when deaths have occurred be- cause of bad sewerage, and where the sani- tary conditions are otherwise bad, no one would blame people for remaining away. But houses where a couple of people had died of old age would be looked upon by a2 certain class as “unlucky,” and there are thousands who could not be bought to go into such a house. “The worst people in that respect,” he continued, “are the young mothers. We have had contracts broken because some- bcdy said that ‘babies never thrive on that and because ‘the last family that occupied the flat had twins.’ But tne greatest trouble in that line comes because of Friday and the number 13. When you find a man who will sign a lease on a Fri- day you may make up your mind that he will be a good tenant, and that he does not possess any of the qualities of the dreaded kicking tenant. As to the number 13, why, it is as hard to rent a house with that number as one in which there is a cross- eyed hallboy, or from which a contagious disease flag is flying. eee J.
