NINE = A ‘With the weather against it and counter attractions of especially strong nature, the attendance at the cycle show is wonder- fully large. The wheelmen are not the only ones that are pleased with the show. The exhihjtors see pres=nt sales and-future orders from the displaying of their wheels at the show. One firm sold four wheels Saturday, and another exhibitor says that his sales to date were ten wheels, and with | Plenty of future orders. The playing of the specialties by members of the La France Concert Company each afternoon and evening never fails to draw applause. Mr. W. H. Gracey rendered “Around the Metropolis” on the musical glasses, and for an encore played “The Darkey’s Dream’? on the xylophone. The playing on the ocar:na, the bells and man- dolin by Gracet, High and Woolson is well received. This orchestra is well suited tc this class of exposition, as the demon- strators can talk against the music and | every one can plainly understand what is said. : The racing s» far has been one of the surprises of the show. The boys at first were rather inclined to ridicule that style of pedaling. It did not seem like real rac- ing, such as they had been in the habit of undertaking on tracks, but when they matched up one against the other on the machine they found out that it was very real and hard work. dis a home trainer, with jing the two frames to- igged for separate bicycles, with gearing and rods that are bushed into | small cog wheels at the base and top of the upright, whereon is the dial that regis- ters the racing of the contestants. The bi- cycles sit up in the frames and the wheels revolve on wooden rollers that have ball bearings and are connected together with a leather belt. With every revolution of the cycle wheels at the roilers turn fast and record the distance traveled by means of larze hands that traverse the dials, one over the other. These hands work on hol- row shafts, and one is painted red and the other white. When a race is started the hands are set toyether, and as one or the other forges ahead the hands indicate the work of the riders. It is stated that with @ bicycle geared up to eighty a record of a mile in less than one minute could be made on this At some time during the show Manager Buckley’s intention to have a mile run off and the atyempt made to equal the best record on ‘home trainers, namely, one minute and twenty seconds. One of the fastest racing men in the coun- try will make this attempt. People along Pennsylvania avenue were astonished this morning at a fleeting view of the much-talked-of Fowler Sextette as it speeded along, propelled by six sturdy riders.

Mr. John Pheasey, who lives at 142 _ Congress street, Woodland avenne, Ohio, says, under date of August 1, 1895: “I know two or three people who have used Ripans Tabules in slight attacks of dyspepsia, and have been cured after. using the first box, end a friend of mine told me of a man that ‘worked with him who Cleveland, was a sufferer for years, and had been completely cured by using Ripans Tabules.

Mr. Wagner’s Agreement With the Departmental League, , ‘The Departmental Base Ball League held @ meeting last evening at the armory of the Washirtgton Light Infantry Corps, which was very gratifying in all respects. The greatest enthusiasm was evident on all sides on the outcome of the present season, and the delegates from the different teams were sanguine of the success of the amateur league during the coming sum- mer. There were present President A. A. Scusa, Vice President M. ¢. Hazen, Messrs. Roche, Miler and McGuirk, from the bu- reau; S. Porter House, of the Infantry; C. B. Hunt and Thomas Fisher, from the District Commissioners’ office; Owen Kel- lar and J. A. Adams, from the treasury, and Peter Johason and M. Gilmartin, from Fort Myer. ‘The new constitution occupied most of the attention during the meeting, and sev- eral sections were adopted, one or two be- ing rejected and given back to the com- maittee appointed for the purpose of draft- ing it for further consideration as to their terms. President Sousa announced that he had made an agreement with Mr. J. Earl Wag- ner by which National Park had been se- cured for the games during the coming sea- son, and this announcement was exceed- ingly gratifying to all the members of the board. A schedule committee, consisting of President Sousa and Secretary Charles Dickens, will go to work at once preparing the schedule, and these gentlemen expect to have it ready within a few days. The next meeting of the league will be held next Monday evening. INARY PRACTICE. PRELID How the Washingtons Will Be Lined Up. Earl Wagner, who will personally super- vise the work of the Senators during the aksence of Manager Schmelz, has arranged the following line-up for spring practice. The nines will be known as the Regulars and Kids, and will be arrayed in their sanguinary conflicts as follows: Kids. - | McCauley ... McJames .. The position of the players will be fre- quently shifted, in order to give the “Kids” an opportunity to play their regular posi- tions. The Regulars will play as above in- dicated throughout the practice season. Some anxiety has been felt by a number of interested fans as to.why McCauley has not signed his contract, and fears have been entertained by others that he was unwilling to come to Washington. With reference to this matter,Earl Wagner explained to a Star representative last evening that a contract Was sent McCauley recently, but never reached its destination, as he learned in a recent correspondence with him. As the time for reporting for duty was so near at hand, the matter of signing a contract was, by mutual understanding, postponed until he arrived here. “There is no misunderstanding whatever between us, and when the gong sounds I will introduce to the public as clever a ball Player as there is in the business,” said Mr. Wagner. YALE’S LAW SCHOOL TEAM. ‘Columbian Will Pliny Them Friday Afternoon. The game of base ball Friday between the nines of Columbian University and the Yale Law School promises to be a royal battle. Capt. Greene of Columbian will play the following men: Cummings, pitcher: Fugitt, catcher; Greene, first base; Mills, second base; Dalzell, third base; Beall, shortstop; Goodfellow, left fielder; Shaw, center fielder; Beard, right fielder. In thelr game with Gallaudet Saturday the Columbian boys played a fast game of ball, although it was the first of the sea- son, and at that time gave every promise of developing in team work, so that the Yale men will find a hard struggle await- ing them. The game will be played on the univer- sity’s grounds, Capitol Park. These grounds have been greatly improved aud new bleach- ers erected on the side lines. The Yale law school team will leave New Haven March 26, arriving at Washington Friday. At Washington three games will be played, with Columbian College Friday afternoon, witn Georgetown University Sat- urday afternoon, and with the Catholic University Monday afternoon, March 30. The team leaves Washington Monday night. SPORTS AT ATHE! The Greeks Hold Their Contests Pre- liminary to the Olympian Games. From 35,000 to 40,000 persons yesterday witnessed the preliminary contests for the purpose of selecting champiors to repre- sent Greece in the Olympic games, which will occur at Athens April 5. King George, Crown Prince Constantine and Prince George personally supervised the race from Marathon. The distance is twenty-five miles, and the road is a rough one.

The directors of the Cape May Athletic Association have signed an agreement with Boswell, formerly of the University of Pennsylvania, to manage the Cape May bell team this season. He is already hustling for good ex-college players. The ball park will be improved. GEORGETOWN’S LATEST MOVE. An Advisory Committee to Regulate University Athletics. The Georgetown University Athletic As- sociation has issued a circular in which the support of every alumni, especially the un- dergraduates, and every one who has been connected in any way with the university, is solicited. In order to obtain additional co-operation in the work of maintaining the high standing of the university in the field of athletics it has been decided to establish an advisory committee, consisting of mem- bers of the alumni and representatives from the faculty and undergraduates. This board will have a great deal to say regard- ing athletics, and will have a great infiu- ence in keeping up the present high repu- tion of the university in this direction. we circular which has been issued is ed by the alumni members of the ad- visory committee, consisting of Dr. Jas. Dudley Morgan and Messrs. M. J. Colbert and.J. Nota McGill. It reads as follows: “With the view of maintaining the pres- ent high standing of the university in the field of athletics and of perpetuating a wise and safe policy in the management of af- fairs, and also of obtaining additional aid and co-operation, it was recently deter- mined to establish an advisory committee, to be composed of members of the alumni and representatives from the faculty and undergraduates. “The plan having met with the approval of the executive committee of the Society of the Alumni, two members of this com- mittee and one other alumnus have been designated for membership on the advisory committee. “It is hoy that this plan, now inaugu- rated for the first time, will result in the adoption of a line of action that will event- ually prove highly beneficial. As success depends in a large measure, if not entirely, upon the support received from the alumni, it has been determined, while requesting alumni who live outside of Washington to ‘| make a suitable donation, to ask each local alumnus to purchase a season ticket, the cest of which is $3. “Since the alumni are now, for the first time, closely identified with the athletics of the university, and as so much good for the future may result therefrom, your co- cperation is earnestly solicited.” TO PLAY ABROAD. Tennis Cracks Who Expect to Go to England. It was given out last week on the best Possible authority that there will be two, and perhaps three, first-class entries of American lawn tennis players for the Brit- ish championship meeting at Wimbledon next July. Larned and Foote have planned a wheeling trip on the continent for next summer and they will precede it by playing tennis in the English’championships. Mal- colm Chace may also join them and play at Wimbledon before beginning the wheel- ing trip. He and Foote are both Yale sen- iors, and they are anxious to see the Yale crew row at Henley, so the plan also in- cludes a visit to Henley;' which is the week before Wimbledon. RESULTS IN A DRAW. Showalter nnd Kemeney in Tenth Game. = Showalter did not suceeed in winning the tenth game of his match with Kemeney, which was concluded ‘yesterday at the Union League, in Philadelphia. It was opened as\ a queen’s gambit de- clined, Kemeney having the white forces, and en adjournment Saturday, after sixty- four moves, Showalter had a pawn to the good and apparently & winning position. But yesterday, after twenty moves,Kemeney found a way to give up his knight for Showalter’s queen’s rook's pawn, which compelled a draw, black’s pawn on king’s rook’s file and his king’s bishop not being sufficient to win against -white’s king at king’s rook’s square. ‘The players’ score is now as follows: Showalter, 5; Kemeney, 3; drawn, 2. The next game will be played at the Franklin Chess Club on Wednesday. COMING TO DENNING. Their Cc. H. Smith’s String Leaves Gravesend Track.

One of the unpublished acts of the mag- nates at a recent meeting will be of inter- est to many tocal patrons. Heretofore it has been the custom for the visiting club managers to issue passes to the friends of the players or others whom they desired to favor, and these passes were always hon- ored at the gates. This custom grew into an evil, and the league officials decided to re- voke the custom. Hereafter no passes of this character will be honored by any home club. FROM Lieut. Niblack's Section of the Excur- sion to Alaska. The party who beve been journeying from St. Paul, Minn., to Alaska, under the auspices of the National Geographic So- ciety, were conducted yesterday afternoon from Puget sound to Sitka, Alaska, by Lieut. A. P. Niblack cf the United States navy. As on the previous lectures, Met- zerott Hall was well filled and the lecture was profusely illustrated by splendid pho- tographic reproductions of tne scenery en route. Lieut. Niblack has made repeated trips through the region described by him, and has made a particularly close study of the Indians of Alaska and adjacent country, a work of his having some time ago been published by Congress. The inland trip was described by him, and in speaking of the climate of Alaska, he remarked that its mean winter temperature was about that of this city, the thermometer rarely rising above 85 in summer. The fall and rise of the tides are about from 12 to 15 feet. Alaska .is a sportsman’s paradise, fish and game being unusually plentiful, but, he explained, Alaska’s very air is productive of exaggeration, and the tales of hunters and fishermen should be taken with a grain or two of salt. The boundary- line trouble between this country and Eng- land was referred to by Licut. Niblack, who stated that if this courtry lost, it would lose a strip of country of 1,70 miles, and he intimated that the building of m war ships and less arbitration would be a . visable. This country, by the possession and proper fortification of Pearl Harbor and the Alaskan islands and of a point op- posite Vancouver Island, would be in com- plete mastery of the north Pacific, and the lecturer thought it would be nothing less than criminal negligence for us to fail to take advantage of those strategic points. Lieut. Niblack graphically described the characteristics and history of Alaska and its people, explaining that this country had purchased it in 1867,at about two cents an acre. Next Monday afternoon Professor Harry Fielding Reid of Johns Hopkins University will describe the glaciers of Alaska. PUG SOUND TO SITKA, Another Big Philadelphia Fire.
