Bicycle Cabinets. Though the demand in this country !s just as great, there are few bicycle cabinets to be seen.

He says that it is a significant fact that upon wheels weighing twenty- five pounds the leading cracks of the coun- try have performed their most wonderful work, making a much better. showing than when twenty-pound machines were ridden. The auction craze has at last struck Great Britain, and the British cycle papers are complaining of the car loads of Amer- ican cheap wheels that are being auctioned off at ridiculously low figures. © world championship meet, which was held last year at Glasgow, Scotland, clear- ed something like $5,000 from the event, according to the report of the committee in charge, whose labors have just closed. Nineteen of the most prominent residents of England proclaim bicycling to be their favorite recreation, according to a poll taken by a trade psper of the country. Seventeen named horseback; riding cam= next, with golf and fishing standing tied for fourth place with eleven each. Row- ing was represented by seven; walking ard cricket were each tied, and two points ahead of aquatics. Foot ball, bowling, boxing, skating, beagling, croquet and curling were represented by one each; rac- quets by two; hunting and shooting, three eech; yachting, four; gardening and ten- nis, five each, and shooting and mountain- eering, six each. If the advice of an English authority can be taken, the right gear for a tandem is one equal to half the sum of the gears used by the riders separately. A cyclist of Coventry, England, was fa- tally injured by riding too close to the wheels of a moving vehicle. The end of the handle bar caught tn the spokes of the wheel, and the rider was thrown forcibly to the ground. A cycle paper publishes the fact that an English rider has a wheel geared to 184, and a sprocket has been made to gear an- other machine to 305. While this may be true, it is not at all likely that either ma- chine will be of any practical use. German Cycling Notes. Consul J. C. Monaghan, at Chemnitz, Ger- many, says that German wood guards cost 145 marks each, and are absolutely no good. The leading bicycle manufacturers of the country recognize the superiority of the American products. A tire of German invention has two strips of leather firmly cemented together, in the center of which a thin strip of steel has been fastened. Steel wires at the edges provide for the fastening to the rim. It costs about $3.75 to deliver a bicycle at Munich from New York city, which in- cludes freight and customs duties. A high- grade wheel is sold in the city from $40 to $75 to the rider. A method for testing the balls used in the bearings of a bicycle, devised by a resident of che empire, is as follows: The balis are rolled singly down an inclined plane and drop on a steel block. The balls which bound over an adjustable gauge into a box prepared for their reception are regarded to be of the right quality. During 1897 there were 29,679 finished wheels Spported in Semaey, eae kilo- grams of parts, representing a value of 6,546,000 marks. Of this sum 2,683,000 marks went to the United States, repre- senting over one-third of the total sum. England secured 1,276,000 marks and France 943,000. During the same period the value of the bicycle exports of Germany Teached a total of 7,924,000 marks. A new lamp has made its appearance in the country which can be lighted without opening.

The local management are still endeavoring to secure Bert for the Senators, but Connie Mack remains obdur- ate. The next few days will settle Myers’ fate. He would certainly strengthen the Washington club, Richmond's Atlantic League team defeat- ed the Boston team again Saturday. The Atlantic Leaguers were shut out up to the ninth inning, when they hammered out four runs and won. ‘The Philadelphia club has filed with President Young the signed acknowledg- ment of its players of the service of the new rules for the suppression of obecene, indecent and vulgar language upon the ball field. This is the first acknowledgment that has been received by President Young. with an open-air theater, < fish pond and a host of other attractions that cannot fafl to catch the public fancy. The characters of an oid English village will all be represented, and the costumes wil! be appropriate and historically cor- rect. Over the entrance at the north end cf the hall will be a striking reproduction of a Swiss chalet, where charming Alpine iasses will guide the visitors through the mountainous mysteries. The Shriners in Evidence. On either side of the broad central ave- nue, extending the length of Convention Hall, are numerous booths, decorated with consummate taste, brilliantly lighted, and containing another multitude of marvels with which to gratify the tastes of the coming throngs. Midway of the hall, and against the walls cr either side, are two strikingly chaste reproductions of the Pan- thenon at Athens. An ancient Greek would probably bc appalled at the uses to which this venerated edifice is put, but when he realized that the Mystic Shriners were responsible for it he would probably bow his head and accept it as a matter of course. Parthenon No. 1, on the east side, is a paddle stand of big proportions, and, under charge of Johnny Elinger, a group of bright and gay shriners will call the at: tentior of the crowds to the plentitude they may possess by investing in a paddle. The Shriners at this booth also will have a novel contest. They have offered a reg- ulation sword, heavily gold-mounted, as a test of the public esteem in which Capt. Charles S. Sigebee, the gallant commander of the Maine, and Gen. Fitzhugh Lee, the equally gallant consul general at Havana. are respectively held. The exercises of franchise in this connection will be placed at a nickel, and son-e of the prettiest girls in Washington will do campaign work for votes among the visitors. Parthenon No. 2, on the west side of the Tall, will also be a paddle stand, and the famous Arab patrol of Almas Temple will be in charge, uniformed in grotesque garb. under the command of the gallant Tommy Walker. Novel and Unique Features. At almost every booth will be some par ticularly unique and novel feature. Gypsy queens will tell fortunes, mysterious ladies will flirt animatedly from decapitated heads. There will be bean problems to guess; Japanese gardens to sip the refresh- ing Oolong at. There will be Parisian cafes, scenic, theaters, Turkish smoking parlors and scores upon scores of other at- tractions and novelties scattered through Convention Hall and the armory annex, cennected therewith by a tastefully deco- rated and brilliantly lighted passageway. It will be a case of the Chicago exposi- tion Midway Plaisance (modified, of course), and crowds and all, on a smaller scale, and when compzred to other fairs it will_be pretty much as a plank is to a knot hole.

The fifth round in the spring tourna- ment of the Washington Chees Club was one of surprises, for it saw the club cham- pion, Capt. Patrick, O'Farrell, lower his colors to Mr. J. P. Campbell and Mr. E. P. Hana suffer defeat at the hands of Mr. Will H. Lyons. Capt. O'Farrell made a hard struggle a1:d succumbed only after ninety-six moves had been made. Mr. Campbell is showing unexpected strength against the strongest players inthe pres- ent tournament. He had the advantage of Mr. Hanna all through their game, but overlooked a mate in three moves and al- lowed his opponent to get a draw. Mr. Hanna played a French defense against Mr. Lyons and played a compara- tively even game for thirty-eight moves, though Mr. Lyons had been the aggressor, when Mr. Henna overlooked a series of two checks, which cost him a rook. He resigned after fifty moves had been made. One peculiarity was that Mr. Lyons’ clock had run twenty-cight minutes during the game and Mr. Hanna's clock one hour and forty-five minutes. Mr. Lyons’ score is one of the best, but he plays most of his games so rapidly that it would be remarkable if he did not lose games thereby.

Bicycling in Frence has reached a rather advenced state, and the many new cus- toms inaugurated by the f use of the wheel would ha be tolerated in this country. The bicycle girl of France is a distinct type of the feminine rider, and the dress worn publicly cn the streets of Paris would hardly bear importation to this ecuntry. During the past year there was an in- crease of 73,734 cyclists in the country. This only represents the actual owners of wheels, who by law ere obliged to pay a tax of $2 per annum. The total number of wheels now ridden in the country is given officially as 220,813, which furnish an an- enue to the government of over 001,000. A riding school for instruction in cycling is maintained at Paris by two French girls who were thrown upon their own re- sources, and who are said to be making quite a success in the ventui It is very seldom that a bicycle is pawn- ed in this country, but in France it is dif- ferent, and the wheel is everywhere recog- nized as negotiable security. The business is so good in Paris that the government has opened a shop for the purpose, and finds the trade a profitable one. The cus- tem of a good many riders is to keep their wheel in pawn during the winter, and pur- chase clothes with the money thus ad- vanced, redeeming the silent steed the foi- lowing spring. “A special basement is reserved for’ bi- cycles” is said to be a common ining to see in notices of buildings for rent in Paris. Bourrillon, the French crack, will con- tinue to ride on the track all of the present season, and at the close will have to serv: his term of three years in the army, as al! good, patriotic Frenchmen are required tc do. It is getting to be a common sight to see the young Frenchwomen, attended by their maids, taking bicycle spins in the quiet portions of the city of Paris. The maids ride about a yard behind their mistresses, and are dressed in black, with a close black hat and white turnover collars and cuffs, presenting a neat and trim appearance. ‘The average French male rider thinks that all female riders without maids or chap- erones are intended for him to address. Lucien Lesna, the French crack, insists that he will come to America this year, after which he will marry and settle down. In a recent 100-kilometer race at Paris, in which there were four contestants, was thrown and badly injured. Al Weinig, the American rider, speaking of the methods of training pursued by the French riders, says that without wine the men are comparatively no good. It is a frequent thing for them to drink a pint of champagne before entering a race, and smoke between times, as though they never intended to ride again. They are astonish- ed at the total abstinence of the American riders while in training. —_—— Evidence All In. In the trial before Chief Justice Bing- bam, in Criminal Court No. 1, of James J.
