The en‘:y blanks for the fifteenth race meet of the season, providing for 2 good program of r made their appearance yesterday afterncon. The sprint events will be of more than usual interest, owing to the fact that cut of four events three are practicai innovations. The opening tace will be a five-mile handicap, amateur. ‘This is the fret tive-mite race on the track this y-ar, either for professionals or ama- teurs, open to general competition. It fs expected that all of the local riders will enter, and on account of the distance some dark horses may come to the front and pture the event. Another g004 race will be the tandem heat race for professional riders, in which will erter, and s Philadelphia. all of the loca from Tgilté mer © and race wil] be in mile heats, the winner being juised by the score made. As good pri ave b oftered, ihe race will un- doubtedly be productive ef good speed. The team winning two cut of three heats will be announced the winner, the other posi- tions being judged by a system of scoring. The event of the evening will be an un- limited pursuit race between Fred. Titus of New York and Frank Starbuck of Phil- adelphia. A purse of $100 will be given the winner. The race will be after the order of the Australian pursuit race. The men will start at opposite sides of the track, and the contest will continue until one overtakes the other. The five-m.ile unpaced record is 11.05, while the five-mile unpaced compe- tition record is 11.87. {f the winner of the race Thursday will be able to lower the record of 11.05, held by Titus, an additional prize will be offered. The events and prizes are as follows: First event, five-mile handicap, amateur; prizes, valued at $20, $10 and $5, for first, second and third places, respectively. Second event, tandem heat race, pro- fessional; prizes, first, $35; second, $15. Third event, five-mile exhibition, track record, paced by multicycles, professional; prize, Lasley $50 trophy. ‘vent, match pursuit race, un- istance, between Fred Titus of York and Frank Starbuck of Phila- ja; prize, $100. The race next week will mark Starbuck's first appearance in this city. In Philadel- hia he is well known and his good riding draws well. He was in an Australian pur- suit race at the Woodside track, about two months ago, the introduction of that style of racing in Philadelphia. There were six entries, and by the end of five miles only two men remained, Starbuck being one and Charles Church the other. While Church succeeded in winning, he did not have such an easy time, and for eight and a_ half miles he plugged after Starbuck, finally overtaking him, after a total ride of over thirteen miles. This only serves to show that Sterbuck is of some good as an un- pacea rider. - As 2 paced rider he has been even more successful. He has defeated many good crack middle distance men behind pace. Perhaps his most notable performance was last year, when he defeated Jimmy Michael In a twenty-five-mile race at Philadelphia. It was the only defeat of the season sus- tained by the midget. Starbuck won the race purely on his merits as a rider. No accident hannened to Michael, who rode hard all during the contest, but he could not beat the Philadelphian, who followed good pace like a veteran. The victory was a popular one, and Starbuck received due credit for ft. Titus in his riding career has had an ex- perfence similar to Starbuck, but has never Gefeated Michael. Early this season, how- ever, he beat Tom Linton, fn the first match race of the latter. Titus rode in good form and because of this victory his stock as a paced rider went up several hundred points. Since then he was defeated by Michael and also by Lintcen. Another race between Titus and Linton is on hand, and the win- ner of this will be waited for with con- stderable interest. In pursuit racing Titus has not had such a varied experience. AS an unpaced rider he has shown good speed and holds the five-mile record at 11.05 and the ten-mile record at 23.00. It is on account of his speed in this class of riding that he feels confident of success in pursuit races. He defeated Counselman and Wilson last Wed- nesday evening at the park track, but In Starbuck he recognizes that he will have a more formidable opponent. The latter is regarded by many as the equal of the New Yorker, if not his superior, and as the race Thursday will be the first time the two have been brought together this season in an event of this kind, considerable inter- est is manifested not only in this city, but in Baltimore and in Philadelphia. ‘A race is scheduled for Labor day that will most likely prove to a good many peo- ple to be the most interesting of any held this season. It will be a match race be- tween Fred Simms and Fred Schade, the two long-time-ago amateur rivals, and now rivals for honor and cash and glory in the professional ranks. ‘The match race will be for a distance of one mile, and three heats will be run, the winner of two heats to be the winner of the race. The heats will be scattered through the program for the meet and the riders afforded plenty of time in which to get in condition for the ride before them. In this connection it might be stated that Schade is now riding in better condition than he has at any time since he joined the professional class. He has been unable to make as good a showing as was expected of him, owing to the fact that most of the time of late he has been kept on pacing machines. He has had very little oppor- tunity to ride a single, and on that account has suffered when he entered sprint events. With his match race with Sims on hand, he will start in training without delay, and a good showing can be expected of ‘him. It can safely be predicted that the heats will be closely contested, and that neither rider will have a walkaway, as the term is used. Billie Sims and Bobbie Walthour left the city this morning for Philadelphia, where they will ride on two different tracks. In the afternoon they will visit the Woodside track and enter a three-mile lap race. At night they will proceed to the Tioga track, both will enter a ten-mtle handicap ce. Sims, while his condition is good, is suffering from the effects of the fall ‘re- ceived Wednesday evening at the park track in the two-mile professional handicap. Both Sims and Wilson went down, and the former scraped nearly all of the skin off one side of the left forearm and a good deal off both knees, making him walk somewhat stiffly. He hardly thinks that these in- juries will interfere with his chances of winning while away. The riding of A. C. Moran Wednesday evening Was a surprise to a good many. He firished a good second in the two-mile handicap, beating: out Bobbie Walthour on the stretch. In the race Moran used more beadwork than he usually does, and all during the race enjoyed a “sl2igh-ride,” leaving him fresh for the final. He was not obliged to once set pace for the bunch, but, tacking on to the fast men, kept up with them, and beat all but one out on the finish. The national circuit races will return to Washington October 6, and already prepa- rations are being made to give the local public a good program of events. Among the races to be held will be a two-mile na- tional championship race, th: winner of which increases his showing of winning the national championship at the end of the eason. When the circuit races were in this city on June 23 the one-mile national championship race was run, which was won by Arthur Gardiner, Th> past week, which has been a very successful one for Fred. Sims, has at the same time been a very hard one for him. He was extremely fortunate in winning every event but on> in which he was en- tered during the week, and that ts saying a good deal. In this city Monday night he won his heat in the two-thirds of a mile handicap and finished second in the final. Tuesday evening zt Baltimore he won -his beat and the final of the mile open, and with his brother won the heat and the final of the tandem race. The following evening, Wednesday, in this city he rode and won the two-mile professional handicap. By winning these events he increased his 2arn- ing considerably, but as he had to ride hard in all the handicap events, starting from scrateh, the riding played him out. —— Corroborative.

While the race was a fraction over four and three-quarters miles, the time being given at 10.42 2-5, there seems to be no doubt of the ability of the rider to lower the world’s record for the five miles had he continued. With the punc- tured tires on the last lap Titus could have lowered the record had he continued, but he did not know this. Soon after overtak- ing the men he sat up on his wheel and rode slowly around, stepping off near the tape. Unofficially his time was taken up to this distance, and it was found to be 11.28. The previous record was 11.87, so had the New Yorker continued only a few more feet he would have made a new record. According to unofficial advices his time for each mile was as follows: First mile, 2.15; second mile, 2.16; third mile, 2.18; fourth mile, 2.19; fifth mile, 2.20; total time, 11.28. While nothing has been definitely ar- ranged, there is a probability that the en- tire crack team of the American Cycle Racing Association and the National Track Team Association will be brought down to this city in the fall, and a series of races given, an opportunity such has never be- fore been afforded the local public. Not only will Michael be down, but Taylore, Linton, McDuffie, Elkes, Hoyt and other riders ‘who have’ achieved prominence in middle distance work. In addition to these there will be a number of sprint riders brought down at.the same time, thus mak- ing the affair all the more interesting. The track at the Park is regarded as one of the fastest courses in the country, and has never been given a good showing for mid- dle-distance work. lis reputation as a world-record course has been fully estab- lished, and so far six records have been es- tablished which promise to remain for some time. More definite information of the appearance of the cracks will be an- nounced later. The middle-distance records have been so badly smashed this season that it has been rather difficult to keep track of them. Not eniy have the American records been smashed, but the world’s records for the distan McDuifie, Mick ‘Taylore, Lin- ton and Elkes have all had a hand in this, and there have been oniy two or three match races among the cracks held this season in which no records Were broken. The records up to twenty-five miles follow: Miles. Helder. Miles, Utaslore. 16. ‘Maylove.|17. 2. Taylore, 18. ". “Linton.

In addition to this Elkes holds the world’s hour record, covering 34 miles This record was made August Willow Grove track, near Philadelphia. For the second time this season the record has been smashed. An echo of the meet Monday heard shortly from an edict to be i by the chairman of the racing board, rela- tive to some of Elkes’ pacemakers. These pacing crews used vulgar language, which Was heard on the grand stand. The referee cautioned the men, but this did not en- lirely remedy the evil. The local referee reported the matter to Mr. Mott the next evening at Baltimore, and the chairman of the racing board was chagrined over the fact that the local referee did not impose a fine of $50 on every one of the pacemakers, with the alternative to pay it the next day or cease riding until it was paid. The chairman will get evidence regarding the matter and impose fines. is apt to be ued Al Weinig, one of the chief pacers of Mi- chael, and the man who invariably starts the midget off in his match events, Is the victim of the workings of the racing board of the league. Some weeks ago he got into an altereation with another rider at the Manhattan Beach track, and it is alleged that he came to blows. The matter came under the notice of the referee and he im- posed a fine cf $50. As Weinig w ant- ed to help pace Taylore in his race July 2, at Boston, with McDuffie, the American Cycle Racing Association’ paid the fine. The fact that the big rider had paid the fine came to the notice of the man ie had whipped, and that individual swore out warrant for his arrest, charging him with ault and battery, and claiming that the payment of the fine to the racing board Was a practical acknowledgment of his guilt. Weinig was arrested by the civil au- thorities, and was not released until bail to the amount of $500 had been furnished. Century Cycle Club. The Centurions under First Lieutenant O'Connor made a run to Cabin John last Sunday, and in the party were Messrs. O'Connor, Griffith, Bolden, Rosson and Wathen. The run tomorrew will be up as far as the Anglers’ Club, leaving club house at 9:30 a.m. Several of the members were out last Monday evening on the conduit. Howard Fisk has run off four centuries within the past month, and is rapidly piling up mileage : Bob Williams is still in the lead, riding nearly 1,50) miles each month. Captain Ed. $. Byrnes has just returned after a week's trip, and will leave this evening for a short trip in Virginia. The regular bi-monthly meeting of the club was held Tuesday evening at the club rooms.

FAILED. —— ‘The local professiqnal ,rjders, and espe- clally the management of the Eclipse team, are somewhat incensed against a trick that was played by Jack Prince of the Colos- seum track, Baltimofe, and it 1s alleged that Prince can get no more favors in this city, The matter grew out;of the race meet Tuesday night at the Baltimore track. The Washington riders, owing to their good ap- pearance and fine spééd, gre a good attrac- tion for the Colosseum rage meets, and the management of the piace recognize this fact fully. Hence they, are anxious to get a8 good a representation ag possible of local men at all of their races, ; Last Monday Jack. Prince came over to this city, and requested Manager Lasley to send his team over to Baltimore to enter the races the next evening. He explained that the meet would be only an ordinary affair, with only Baltimore riders en- tered. In fact, he brought with him ai full Mst of entries. There were three professional-events on the pro- gtam that he wanted local men entered. One was the mile open, another a tandem race, and a third a triplet pursuit race. As the Balimore track has no pacing me chines of its own, the request was made for two or three triplets to be used in the last named race. As the meet was only an every-day af- fair, according to Prince’s representations, no guarantee was asked for taking Ue local riders over, Prince assuring Mr. Lasley that good prizes would be put up. Accord- ingly & promise was made that a number of Washington boys would be taken over to the monumental city and ride in the events, a triplet crew being among the number. No preparations were made for an elaborate race, and no rubbers were taken over. As soon as Baltimore was reached signs were read on the street cars and other conspicuous places announcing the fact that Titus, Starbuck, Sanderson, Spier, Jack, Repine, the Kramer brothers and the Turville boys would race. Not one of these riders belongs to Baltimore, but some come from New York, others from Philadeiphia and others from Atlanta. Titus and Starbuck were announced as the star team in a tandem event. Sub: quently the local people learned that Prince had given some of these cracks a guarantee to appear in Baltimore and ride during the evening. That the local riders were mad hardly expresses it. Prince evidently wanted to bring the Washington people over and make them appear ridiculous before the Baltimore public. But he made a grievous mistake, The Washington boys began their work at the start. The mile open was run in four heats, and both Sims and Walthgur won their heats. In the final Sims defeat- ed Titus and Sanderson by a good margin, Walthour getting fourth place. This scored. victory No. 1 for the local boys. The tandem race was regarded as the event of Ue evening. There were enough entries to run three he The Sims brothers were entered. Before the race they were called aside by Manager Lasley and instructed to ride the race of their life. “I want you to show these ‘stars’ up in good shape," said he. “Ride as you never rode before.” ‘This injunction was hardly necessary. The Sims boys were placed in the third heat and among their opponents were Titus and Starbuck. Ac- cording to the agreement the winners of each heat and the second team in the fast- t heat were to qu lify for the fina The Sims boys rode, and rode a game race. For two laps they sprinted around the track, ana though ctosely pursued, could not be headed. Titus and Starbuck finished second, but as the time of the race was a fraction slower than Another heat, they did not qualify for the final. In the’ final the oun boys had ev < their own way and won the race This was y No, 2 for Washington, eee The triplet pursuit’race was entered by Witson, Counselman and French, while the Balt more team was composed of Sanderson, Ph ladelphia; Spier, Atlanta, and Repine, New York, crack riders The last named team started withatn a ‘antage at the first lap, gaining some da nee, but the Washington team pulled itself together, retrieved its loss, ahd gained so rapidly that in two end a quarter miles they over- took their opponents. : This was victory No. 3 for Ww ashington. The loeal men captured first prize on the program, and while this made them feel happy, they could not forget Jack Prince's trick. When the local riders go over to Baltimore again a better arrangement will be made. AROUND THE WORLD AWHEEL. Three Englishmen Who Started From London to Ride 19,000 Miles. From the Ne York Times. Stopping at the Everett House are three young men who, with the exception of the trip to London, which they will take on Wednesday next, have just completed a trip around the world on bicycles, having, when they reached New York, completed a trip of 19,000 miles, 8,000 of which they walked. They are John Foster Fraser, a London newspaper man and author, and a member of the Authors’ Club of London; Edward Lunn, a brother of Dr. H. 8. Lunn of London, a promoter of English interests {n the orient, and F. H. Lowe, who made the trip solely for the purpose of taking photographs of the mu s visited. The tourists arrived in New York yester- day morning. é The men left London July 18, 1896, and have been traveling most of the time since. The young men are well browned, but each one expressed himself as being in the best of health. Mr. Fraser, whose duty it was to record the experiences of the trip, said last night: “We cycled across France, Germany and Turkey without much difficulty, meeting with good roads until we struck Russia. It took us just two months to cross the step- pes of the southern part of Russia. Here we walked most of the way, and we en- countered much difficulty in obtaining food, as the peasantry of Russia was inclined to look upon us as spies, as. they knew we cnglishmen. We coasted down the ide of the Caucasus mountains, a stance of eighty-six miles, having left snow at the top, and when our wheels slowed up on level ground we were in the midst of a country Where fruit and vege- tables were growing in abundance. “From Russia we went into India, where we found the best roads of the trip, the Grand Trunk road being a levei stretch of nearly 2,000 miles, and is just as hard as your city asphalt. On this road we made a century on the average every day. We only rode at night, as the heat was in- tense in the daytime. We then rode through Burmah, taking the jungle paths during the rainy season, when we were all taken with smallpox. We were repeatedly stoned in Persia, the natives crying oui curses against the ‘Christians.’ “Tt took us 151 days to cross the Chinese empire, a distance of 1,500 miles, many hundreds of which we walked. Here again we were much disliked, but at the same time we made ourselves feared by display- ing our pistols. There are not five miles of roads in China that it is possible to wheel on. From China we went to Japan, and found the roads and the people much ‘more congenial. A wheelman déesn’t know what it is to cycle until be has been through Japan—hundreds of miles. of hard, level roads and a very hospitable people, “From Japan we "direct to San Francisco, where wei whéeled across the Nevada desert and: over; 1,700 miles of railroad track until;we ¥eached Omaha. This we found the hardest)ride of the whole trip. From Omahe we went to Chicago, and from thence to New ¥ork, stopping at Niagara Falls.” dt iat ‘fwenty-five pairs of tires were used up by the three men, but they. are still riding the same wheels upon, which they started.’ On the steamer coma ggross from Japan to San Francisco, M aser met Miss Amelia Lawrence, thé daighter of a mil- lionaire mine owner 6f Seattle, whom he married two months ago. ee Gen, Grant's Oniniqn of Golf. From the New York Ledger. General U. S. Grant, when in Scotland, heard a great deal abovt golf, and, being @ guest at a country house, expressed a wish to see how it was played. Accord- ingly his host went out with him into the park. The host “teed” the ball and “wag- gled” the club with all due solemnity, and the general's expectatitns ran high as he observed these impressive preliminaries. Presently there was a heavy thud, a flight of turf and the little ball still sat on the tee. Again, and yet again a thud, heavier than before, with turf still flying, with ball unmoved, with the golfer perspiring and perplexed. Thereupon “General Grant gently remarked: “There seems to be a fair amount of exercise in the game, but I fail to see the use of the ball.” ——_——_+ e+. Hocke has cut prices to clear stock. You can save.—Advt, POLICE ACTIVITY. Though nothing has been published re- garding the matter, the members of the police department, regulars and additional privates, are waging quite an active cru- sade against the bicyclists of the city. The way in which this is being done has »cavsed some complaint. The efforts of the police seem to be di- rected to keeping the riders on the right side of the street. But some cyclists claim that the pcelice neglect to enforce the law against drivers of vehicles. At 15th street and Pennsylvania avenue, near the trans- fer stand, and at 7th street and Pennsyl- vania avenue, there has been cause for complaint against the police, some wheel- men say. It frequently happens that there are two cars at the transfer stand at 15th street and the avenue, sometimes three. People are getting on or off, and most of the passengers cross the roadway and stand on the east sidewalk of the street. The west roadway being almost entirely deserted, many wheelmen cross the car tracks and go over this route. They say they do not care to run any chances of colliding with the alighting car passen- gers. But they are in consequence threat- ened with arrest, when as a matter of fact they are taking care to avoid injury to pedestrians, Again at 7th street and Pennsylvania avenue practically the same condition ex- ists. The policeman there, it is charged, overlooks the fact that according to the police regulations the avenue is regarded as two thoroughfares, and wheelmen are entitled to ride on either side, observing the general rule of the road to keep to the right. On 7th street the condition is dif- ferent. Cyclists say that there is no occasion for a policeman to yell at a passing rider. Several complaints relative to the matter, *me quite emphatic, have been sent to Major Sylvester, the superintendent of the police department. ‘At Pennsylvania avenue bridge,across Rock creek, a waichman has been stationed who steps all riders who cross on the wrong de. Sometimes it happens that there are several wagons on the right side going over, while the left side is clear and not a vehicle in sight. To save time the cyclist takes the left side, but the complaint ts made that no matter how many vehicle: are on the right side and no matter how clear the left side is the rider is obliged to use the right side. ——— CHAIRMAN MOTT’S BULLETIN.
