The central relief committee met yester- day afterroon at the board of trade offices with a large attendance. Judge Cole pre- sided and Mr. George Wilson of the Asso- ciated Charities acted as secretary. There were present Dr. L. V. Ritchie, Surgeon Generai Sternberg, Prof. B. J. Janney, T. A. Lambert, Join Joy n, Mrs, H. B. F, Macfarland, John F. Cook, Rev.’ H. T. Steveson, Col. H. L, Blount, Rev. C. A. Smith, Rev. Dr. Radcliffe and James E. Fitch. Mr. Wilson read, the report of Mr. Beriah Wilkins, treasurer. The total receipts to date were $8,600; disbursements to Febru- ary 28, $3,755, and balance in bank, $4,864. ‘The reading of the report was received with applause. Reports of Committees. The finance committee, through Mr. Jas. E. Fitch, presented its report, describing how funds were raised, and the committee on distribution in its report presented by Col. Blount; set forth the methods pursued in getting relief to the poor. The report says: “We found that the vast majority of the applicants for relief were alreauy known to the agents of the -Associated Charities and thore cases could be quickly passed upon, while these families: that were not aiready known were promptly visited and the circumstances examined by the agents of the society. Through this personal knowledge not only was fraud and imposi- tion prevented, but the lady visitors were able to find and relieve those families who frequently are unwilling to make public their condition. Frequently those who are loudest and most persistent in their de- mands for relief suffer less than the quiet self-respecting families who shrink from making their wants known at a crowded relief agency. Through the agency of the lady visitors we were able to reach these | families quietly in their homes and relieve their nec es. | “We have not opened any central distri- bution agency, but have required applicants to go to the district office in the ‘section of. the city in which they reside. This ar- rangement we have found most satisfac- tory. It has prevented congestion and con- fusion, always found at a large central dis- tribution agency, where people from all y come to clamor for relief. ‘s enabled the agents to deal with the appli- required rict office jon of the city in which he re- sided and the agent in charge, being con- stantly in touch with the people in her di- vision, knew their circumstances and was Letter able to deal with the cases in hand than could any person who had not former- anything of these people and “The work has been done very quictly, but it has been done effectively.

But tenements built of wood, of an assessed value of taxation of less than $400, which have been condemned, must not be again occupied as dwellings: ard when such tenements are dangerous to the public health or safety they shall be demolished under the direction of the Dis- trict Commissioners. The committee decided to hold a public meeting March 26 at the Builders’ Ex- change and then adjourned. ee ge PERSONAL PARAGRAPHS Walter Ekhardt, the Baltimore rider, who appeared in this city in a number of race mects, has heen suspended by the racing board for a period of two years. While under suspension he entered a race meet under an assumed name. It was thought at the time that he would be permanently suspended, and his light sentence is a sur- prise to all. Fred Titus, who was suspended some time ago for alleged crooked racing at St. Louis, in connection with Cabanne and Murphy, does not give up hope of being reinstated by the racing board. He is now traveling im the east for a cycie manufacturer, and if allowed will also race. J. W. Clendenning of Kentucky ts the only man from the south elected to one of the offices of the League of American Wheelmen. At the Albany assembly he secured the office of treasurer. ©, R. Coulter, who at one time held the unpaced mile record for the country and was a prominent all-around racer, has de- cided to retire from the track for good. He contemplates settling in San Francisco and opening up a bicycle agency. Sterling Elliott announces his determina- tion to use every effort to facilitate his sue- cessful opponent’s administration of the office of president of the league. The secretary of the Chicago national cycle show announces that there were 40,- 000 people who paid to visit the place dur- ing the week the show was open. There was a strike recently among the employes of the Dunlop Tire Company, at London, England. Eighty men wanted two cents an hour more for their services, and 200 girls wanted an increase of one cent an hour. The strike developed the fact that the men only made $5.25 per week, hile the wages of the girls ranged from > to $3 per week. 3 H. Clapp of Boston has introduced the bicycle in Afri He first successfully disposed of 3 machines, and now has established agencies in many parts of the “dark continent.” F, J. Starbuck, who recently returned from England, and who defeated Tom Lin- ton in an hour race at Madison Square Garden, claims that he can get any amoant of backing in his coming match race with Little Michael. It is claimed that Tom Roe is the only nal a member of the League of American Wheelmen. He is a iife mem- ber, and Secretary Bassett claimed that his membership became annulled when he © tered the pro. ranks, though Sterling El- liott claimed otherw Walter Sanger clai for the unpaced mile r cause he could not get from a cycie manufacturer, and he did not propose to give any wheel the benefit of advertising free. A tire concern offered him $1,000) if he would iower the record. Arthur Gardiner is said to be in dition this year, and will make him: on the track.

Before John S. Johnson will be able to ride on a circuit ¢his year he will have to pay damages to the amount of $100 to the prom, s of the race meet at Portland, Me., for a race in which he entered last year and never appeared. Tom Eck is re- quired to pay the same sum. The Jallu brothers, the crack pacing team of France, were recently defeated by the Cabailot team. The papers of France have been devoting much space to the fact that Eddie Bald and Tom Cooper will visit that country and give exhibitions of fast sprinting. Chinn, the crack English rider, was re- cently defeated in a match race of 1,000 meters by Morin, the speedy French rider, who crossed the tape five lengths ahead of his opponent. ‘Tom Linton is now in Paris, training hard for the coming season. He has said very little in regard to his American trip, but gives the irapression that it was anything other than a success, In winning the six-day twelve-hour cycle race recently held in Pittsburg Frank Wal- ler of the Chicago Cycling Club established a new record. In the seventy-two hours he rode 1,216 miles and one lap. The pre- vious recerd was 1,047 miles, which was made by Morgan in Minneapolis about ten years ago. In the recent Madison Square Garden race Teddy Hale rode 1,071 miles in the same time. ‘The celebrated Dutch racer, Jaap Eden, has accepted Bald's open chalienge to the world, and has cabled for the terms of the race. Bald is desirous of having the event come off in this country, stating that he will net go abroad until some time in the fall. Three races will be arranged, though for what stakes will not be known until later. The match will be for the best two out of an unpaced race, a single paced race and a multicycle paced race, the distance for each event being a mile. Dave Shafer, the well-known manager, has arranged < circuit for the racing men now in California, embracing most of the cities on the coast. The men will get in condition for the hard work of the season while following this circuit, W. E. Becker recently rede a mile at San Francisco, paced by two triplets, in the fast time of 148. Little Michael is now in this country, and will most likely go oue to California to train, He has secured the services of J. Shaffer, a countryman of his, to act as his trainer. Huret, the speedy Frenchman, and Platt- Betts, the Engtish racer, will use a plain chain this season. It is rumored that Tom ee and Michael will also use the plain chain. John S. Johnson, who while participatin, in the skating races at "Toronto, Ontario, was stricken with congestion of the lungs, is now on a fair way to recovery. Mr. George Bennett, formerly a well- known wheelman of the District, and presi- dent of the ola Associated Cycling Club, but for several years past engaged in the cycling business in Brooklyn, has received much flattering notice in the press of that city regarding the personality and inge- nuity he had introduced in his business. Michael, the Welsh wonder, now weighs 106 pounds, having lost eight pounds on his westward trip across the Atlantic. When in condition he weighs 103 pounds. In his record rides he will vse a wheel geared to 105, but in competition he will ride an 88 or 92 gear.

He has not as yet signed any manufecturer, but relies on his securing him ‘a position. Jacquelin, the celebrated French crack, is no longer following the cycle path, but has started to serve his time in the army. George A.
