Many of the Local Cyclists WIL Ride for Cash Next Season, There is a prospect that next year will be a busy year for the professionals in the local cycling world. At present the num- ber of “pro riders” in this city 1s limited to about five or six, but next year the number will be doubled and perhaps trebled. There is a well-authenticated rumor that Chairman Gideon will get his ax in work- ing order on the local wheelmen before he retires from office, and will place in the professional ranks every rider who is ployed in any way or connected with a bicycle agency. He has a list on hand of the local riders who earn their livelihood in this manner, and action will probably fellow.

Saturday evenirg the Hamiltons defeat- ed the Amrita Club of Poughkeepsie by the score of 38 to 9. In commenting on the match, Milton C. Work, one of the Hai tens, Says: “Amrita played a rather old- fashioned game in the matter- of leads. They stuck to the antiquated ten-lead from king, jack, ten—now, we belleve, discard-d by ai first-class teams except St. Paul, and they also clung to the old rule to lead ace from ace and four others, which the St. Paul players taught the whist world to honor in the breach rather than the observance.” At the Capital Bicycle Club compass whist match last Saturday evening the plus scores made were as follows: North and south—Britton and Willard, 142; and Robison, 14.

MATTHEWS’ CONFESSION, He Tells About the Murder of James Irwin, George Matthews, the confessed murderer of James Irwin, made a full confession at La Plata, Md., yesterday, of how he killed Irwin in August. The crime, he says, was agreed upon Friday before the murder. Mrs. Irwin egged him on, telling him how miserable her life was, and that Irwin was seeking his life. They had met in the woods. Matthews’ story goes as follow® “She said she would almost as leave dle as go back there. I asked her whether she told me the truth or not, or whether it was to put up a job on me, and she swore to God it was so. I said, ‘if that’s the case, 2 am golag to put a stop to him pretty dog- gone quick.’ She asked me if I had a gun, and I told her yes. She told me to go up there elther Saturday night or Sunday night and kill him. I said, ‘Yes, and if 1 were to do that, you would be the first one to give me away.’ I told her that I was go- ing up there and kill him in broad daylight and give myself up.
