MORSE DRY GOODS CO has been for the last several days making rrangements for an athletic club on a big scale, Ho went té St. Joo on the invitation of T. B. Ferguson, aund was the guest of Frank J. Hobson, a well-known St. Joe cap- italist, largely interested in the motor lines, With these gentlemen Prince visited tho large park of that city and looked it over. This park is about one-haif mile wide and one mile in length, and s covered with beau- tiful trees and shrubuer; In tho center 1s a mammoth amphitheater with o seating capacity of at least twelve or thirtecn thous and people, aud which is built on the old Roman plan. Prince at once suggested u series of athletic entertainmeats, and nis St. Joo fricuds felt in with the idea, and asked him to take hold of the project and work it up. A meeting of the board of dircor tors was called and after discussing the out- look, a five.year lease was drawn up and handed over to Mr. Prince. The next day he put a force of men at woric on the park A board track for bicyele racing similar to the Coliseum track, only larger, there being but seven laps to the mile, was put down, A horse track was also laid out on the outside of the board track, and the whole cen coated with a beautiful sod. The park will be inaugurated on April 20 with a grand field day of athietic sports, which will in- clude bicyele races, horse and sprint races, wrestling, heavy weight throwing, vaulting and jumping, and other attractive features. All wishing to enter for competition in this tournament can do 80 by communicating communicating with Manager Prince at the Coliseum, this city. Prince will endeavor to get the best known athletes of Kausas City, St. Joseph and Omaha to compete against each othier annually, and will eer- tululy make @ spiendid sucéess out of the aifair. What Jack Has to Sa ke Prince, on being questioned as to his intentions 1n regard to the challenga from ed Reading for a six-day bieycle race, said It might seem to tho publie sort o' queer for me and Reading to cator into a ruce for blood. After I have iaught im to ride and trained him for most of his races the people will be apt to think it is a job between us, But, as L understand from Reading that his backers at the fort do insist npon Lis run- ming me for o good-sized stake, and as they claun that I bold the world’s record at this distance, aud that to become ehampion lReud ivg must defeat me, it places we in a funny position, for | must either ride him tho race or surrender the championship.” “'As you haven't been riding recontly, while Reading has been in constant training, do you think you can beat him { I will mako the match, aoyway, for tho first week in May, and will commence train- Ing at once to get myself in fine condition, as Lam uware that I darc take no chance.

Dingley was one of the hardest wen in the business to beat, and he laid him out hands down. Of course I will not say that I can beat him, but I am full of con- fidence, and honestly believo that 1 am yet capable of giviog bin the hardest race "be er ran." Prince and Reading arc both 1n earnest, and in fact a Little bitter against each other over this proposed race, which will likely be made withiu the next thiee days Both men have their adwirers and followers, Reading in the army and Prince in the city 1t would make a great race, indeed.
