SOME CYCLE CHAT The work of placing a board tgack around the course at the International Athletic track is being pushed as rapidly as possi- ble. It was hoped to have the entire new track completed by the first of next month, but it now begins to look as though the matter will be delayed, possibly a week longer. This-is not due to any miscalcula- tion in the work at the beginning, but is causéd entirely by the bad weather since the work of laying the boards was com- menced. The large number of rainy days have necessarily retarded the progress of the work, and as a result it will take that much longer to complete the course. The new track, which is now pretty nearly completed, has beer inspected by nearly all of the racing men of the city, who quickly see its good points. While the board track will not be as large as the former dirt track, the difference in width being noticeable at a hasty glance, yet it is plenty wide enough for racing purposes. The frame work of the new track for the third of .a‘mile has been completed, and most of the flooring laid, but a good dea! of work yet remains outside of this in the way of finishing up the labor. In order to keep the exact distance of the old course, the new track closely follows the old pole, leaving all. the additional space on the out- side edge. This space will be fixed up and leveled.off, especially at the turns, to keep the riders from going off when rounding the curves." This is done for safety seke. A spill at a race meet spoils the pleasure of a good many spectators, though it must be admitted that there are many persons in an ordinary audience, some belonging to the fair sex, who like to see a spill, never once thinking of the danger to the contestants. It now begins to look as though this city will not have a national circuit meet this year. At least that is the Indication, judg- ing by the list of sanctions for such already granted by the chairman of the racing board. If this be the case the local public will have to be satisfied with the two grand circuit dates, one of which will be run off in June and the other in October. At the beginning of the present season Chairman Mott assigned two national circuit dates for this city, both being given in the name of the District of Columbia division of the League of American Wheelmen. The first of these meets was scheduled to come off some time about the middle of next month. That there has been no acceptance of these dates is shown by the fact that they were not included in the list published a few days ago by Chairman Mott, which as- signed only the two grand circuit dates to this city. As the time set for announcing the acceptance of the original dates has ex- pired, it is likely now that any other date may be assigned in case it is desired to a event in have at least one national cir this city this season. The dual meet which was to have been held May 7 at Georgetown University field between the local university and the Uni versity of Pennsylvania has been di off, despite the fact that tickets of adm sion had been printed, a full set of offici secured and a regular program made up. This will mean that the two bicycle races, which have been eagerly looked for, and which would bring out the three leading amateurs of the city for the first time this year in a competition event, will not be run off. The cause of the cancellation of the date is said to be due to the fact that in the other athletic events Georgetown University would be represented only by a limited number,scarcely a corporal’s guard. Though earlier in the season many of the students started in to train for entering the dual meet, the number gradually diminish- ed until not enough was left to justify the Nolding of the meet, and hence the action. Al Moran won his first race of the season last Saturday at the ninth annual handicap games of the Princeton University Track Athletic Association, held at Princeton, N. J. He entered the only bicycle event on the program, the one-mile handicap. Fred Schade was also an entrant, the latter be- ing on the ten-yard mark, and the former having thirty yards. Only one man-was on the scratch. and he was a Princeton man, having fourteen other riders ahead of him. At the start the local boys began to over- haul the field, and in this they were suc- cessful. Schade's chain jumped on the sec- ond lap, throwing him out of the race, but Moran kept on. He gained the lead and held it for the last half a mile, making all of the-pace, and winning in good style. The time was 2.19. He represented Georgetown University in the meet. a So far this season little has been heard of the local professional: riders, but they are to be heard from later in the season. Ball, Mudd and Throop are keeping quiet, but in the meantime they are getting into condition. Mudd 1s after somebody's scalp. Recertly he was a the Levant Wheelmen, and while there a match race was preposed between himself and a member of the club. Capitol Hill was. selected as the course and Mudd lost. A atement was published under the club notes at the time, no names being given. Mudd has since come out with a° challenge to race any member of the Levant Wheel- men for any distance, and for any amount. He ts in earnest about the matter, but so far as known his challenge has not been accepted. John J. Nelms, the Petersburg, Va., cy- clist, who was discovered last year by Schade, and brought to this city, has an- nounced that he has retired from the cycle track. Ill health is the grounds upon which such an action is based. Nelms held the title of champion of his city, and in his appearance in this city rode several good races, though, so far as known, he. was only able to capture one event, and that a handicap affair. A few weeks ago the management of the International Athletic Park wrote him a letter asking him to enter the meet which is scheduled for May 12 at the park. The Petersburg boy de- clined to accept the invitation, and an- nounced his retirement from racing. Henry Smith, the Baltimore long-dis- tance rider, was to have made an attempt last Sunday to lower the American twenty- four-hour record, but the weather inter- fered with the attempt, and a postpone- ment was made necessary. It is likely that the attempt will be made tomorrow if the weather should prove favorable. Smith broke the American twenty-four-hour road record about a year ago, riding 314 miles within twenty-four hours. He accomplish- ed the feat so easily that it was thought he could have done much better had he tried. He was single-paced most of the distance. A few months afterward Elmer Davis succeeded in adding two more miles to the record, and there it has remained ever since. “Teddy Edwards, the crack century rider, claims to have ridden 350 miles within the twenty-four hours, but his claim for the record was not allowed. It is thought that Henry Smith will put the record near that figure this time. = COLLEGE BOYS’ DISPLAY. Weyler and Sagasta Burned at the Stake This’ Morning. Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. COLLEGE PARK, Md., April 30, 1898. The students of the Marvyland Agricnl- tural College were out on the campus near- ly all of last night, engaged in a patriotic display. The battalion gathered shortly before midnight, having in charge Weyler and Sagasta of Spanish fame, whom they preceeded to fasten to stakes. Around them were placed fagots, and near by a temporary flag pole was erected, bearing a Cuban emblem, with “old glory” floating proudly above it. At a given time the signal of five guns vas given, followed by a blast from a bomb, representing the blowing up of. the squadron. Then, ‘midst cheers for .the stars and stripes and yelts of “Cuba Libre,” the torch was applied to the funeral’ pile about the forme of the Spanish captives, During the crematton process the studei sang ‘‘America,” “Red, White and Blue,” “Star Spangied Banner” and other patriotic Later on the boys formed in line, wheeled inte columns of fours and marched upon for a speech.

The two teams will have another opportunity at some future date to try their skill. = Owing to the muddy condition of the road many of the boys returned from Hijrhlands by train. A number, however, cid not, and before the club house was reached the riders were thoroughly plastered with Maryland mud. Several severe falls mark- ed the run, among the unfortunates’ being Geo. Reinheart, whose damaged visage bears evidence of his mishap. ; Lieut. Fryer, will take out a squad to Frederick and return Sunday next to maka definite arrangements in regard to the open century the club will give on May 15. Owing to Uncle Sam’s demand upon his services sev2n days in the week, Capt. Nor- ris probably will be compelled to forego all Sunday trips for some time to come. This is to be deplored, as the jovial captain’s ab- sence will be sadly apparent. During Capt. Norris’ -enforced absence Lieut. Fryer will have charge of all runs. The members who do not go to Frederick next Sunday will spend the day at Great Falls. ~ Arlington Wheelmen. A good crowd. of Arlingtons, in spite of the inclement weather, went out to High- land last Sunday. Riding was found to be unpleasant, the roads in places being al- most impassable, and many of the riders returned by rail. The run tomorrow will be to Dickey’s, starting from 14th and New York avenue at 0 o'clock. Century Cycle Clap. The run last Sunday was a short one, the boys not being able to reach Great Falls on account of the bad condition of the road. The April showers that pat- tered down on the wheelmen drove all home with whe exception of Capt. Byrnes, Kauff- man, Nicholson and Lieut. Chandlee, who are water proof and pushed bravely on, but they were at last compelled to give up, as the road from Anglers’ Club to the falls was simply miserable. The foliowing com- posed the entire party: Byrnes’ O'Connor, Chandlee, Acting Lieut. Kauffman, Bolden, Counselman, ger, Douglass, Galeski, Griffich, Reedy Coons, Williams, Nicholson, Dodd, McAnaly,...Meher, Rod Dimmick, Lor Dinmice and Keesler. Eddie Mon: ade a trip in the mud to Annandale, Va‘, ‘nd this places him with the mud horse‘bunch. He will be expected to ride in allkinds of weather and on all kinds of roads. Things aboyt the club for the past week have been extremely quiet. No riding of any account en done and most all of the members hayé enjoyed themselves play- ing whist and checkers. Billy Kauffman still holds the championship, with Williams a close second. | Two large, handsome silk American fiags adorn the outside'ef the club house, and on last Sunday’s ‘rif every member had an American flag streaming from his handle bar. 2 m Several _membPiS of the club are aiso members of the D. C. N. G., and Have join- ed their respective commands. They are Messrs. Hasler, Barglavsen, Gooding and Eckloff. The regular monthly meeting will be held next Monday evening at 8 o'clock. The regular official century run that was to have been called this week for next Sunday has been postponed, as the boys have three centuries to ride in May. Capt. Byrnes will call a run tomorrow to Cabin John, leaving at 9:30 a.m. ees RACING CHAT. Antonio Tomaselli arrived in New York a few days ago to join the International Racing Associaticn’s forces. Tomaselli is a well-known Italian racing man, is just twenty-one years cld and weighs 160 pounds. He was born in Venice, and is the champion of his native city and of Milan. He won the grand prize at Alexandria, Egypt, last year, and also the 325-mile race, Milan to Monaco. ‘The Italian is good for any distance from one to fifty miles. He will commence training immediately at the National Cyclodrome, Ambrose Park. in company with Ermie de Martini. These two will represent Italy on the interna- tional team, which will be complete when Jack Robertson, the English champicn, reaches this side early in May. Ralph Temple's challenge to Bald, Lehr and Michael has created a great deal of in- terest, especially among the old timers, who remember Temple as the crack racing man of a decade ago, and very many of these believe that Temple, who fs still a young man, will make the more recently risen stars hustle when they tackle him. One of the proposed races wiil doubtless be run in Chicago, Temple’s home, and the others will be contested on tracks of the International Track Association in cities not yet determined upon. W. J. Morgan is representing and acting for Temple in the matter. The National Cyclodrome of New York has engaged the services of Fred St. Onge, the Boston trick rider, and those of Master Willie Hayes of Trenton, N. J. These two will follow the International Track Assoei- ation’s circuit and give exhibitions. A meeting of the representatives of the cycle tracks that will form the Interna- tional Track Association will be held at the Astor House, New York, tonight, when the organization of the association will be perfected. Letters already received indicate that tracks in the principal cities in the United States and Canada, as well as those of Paris, London and Berlin, will be repre- sented at the meeting. Members of the In- ternational Association Will have first call on the services of the foreign racing men now in this country. At the National Cyclodrome, Ambrose Park, New York,,May 14, the Twentieth Century trophy, wil be ru for for the first time.

John Knowles, a well-known rider, died recently at Brooklyn. Jack Knowles, as he was known, was the first man to ride sixty centuries in sixty consecutive days. Jimmie Michael, Fred Titus, Majop-Tay- lor and Charles Earl are training now at the Manhattan Beach track, which was only opened up a week or so ago. H. B.

Lawes, an English rider, recently, on the Crystal Palace track, lowered the quarter-mile amateur record from 0:26 1-5 to 0:253-5. The performance was wonder- ful, considering the fact that the rider is fifty years of age. D. J. Walker has established the follow- ing new records for Australia, breaking the time of J. Platts-Betts, the English crack: Half-mile, 0:531-5; three-quarters of a mile, 1:19; cne mile, 1:45. A Parisian cycle paper gtavely informs its readers that “‘a club of lady cyclists has been founded at New York and Boston for the purpose of watching the coast line in case of a war with Spain. These ladies are now practicing under the gufdance of an American marine officer at Madison Square Garden.” The report ts published upon what is termed “good authority.” Arrangements are now being made for a match race at the Auditorium track at Louisville, Ky., some time this summer between E. C. Bald and Jimmie Michael. Arthur W. Porter, an old-time racer, is reported as making arrangements to return to the track this season. Tom Linton was the first man to surprise the French riders in match racing by tack- ing on the rear wheel of his adversary when his own pacing outfit was crippled.

Half a hundred cr more young profes- sional men of this city, considering the de- sirabiilty of perfecting themselves in mil- itary crill so that, should necessity arise for their services in defense of the ration they would be prepared to respond and perform their duties efficiently, have taken steps to organize. In response to a call from Messrs. Andrew Y. Bradley and Howe Totten, a meeting was held Thurs- day, at which time great enthusiasm was manifested. It was expiained that although there was no neeé of their services at this time, it is among the possibilities that in the future those present might be called upon to go to the front, and in such an emergency they would, of course, not hesitate te respond. In order to avoid any chance of being new to their cuties it was thought wise by the promoters of the movement to hold regular drills. Mr. Arthur Peter served as temporary chairman and Mr. H. Prescot: Gatley as secretary. Messrs. Edward Duvall, G. T. Deulop and Charjes W. Clagett were ap- pointed a committee to secure drill hall and accouterments, and Messrs. G Totten, Andrew Y. Myers to arrange for the 3: drill master, The expectation is ti sergeants of the regular army wili be en- gaged as instructors in arill.
