In planning such a trip the first considera tion s good company. A sensible, jolly married pair must be selected to play pro priety; the rest of the party should be con genial, good-tempered and inured to the idea of roughing it And what opportunities are offered on eycling tour for the youthful masculine feminine fancy to have full play! coaching tours abroad so proverbial as prolific in matrimonial results are not in it with the cycling tour. The mounts, the leisurely shins, the walks up hill, the long rests in some shady spot, the general galety arising from the unchecked flow of fun and good spirits, as well as from all sorts of amusing accidents and incidents happening along the way—every condition is favorable to the pro- motion of that “‘sweetest thing in life,” par- ticularly if a tadem cycle s used. Too Jarge a party is not desirable. It is wisest to limit the number to six or elght. The next matter of importance choice of a route. Shall it be near at hand and of a few days’ run or an extended journey in some distant portion of the country? In determining on a tour it pays to have ona member of the party join the organiza- tion now fam!liar by name to all good cyclers, the League of American Wheelmen, whose gecretary s W. S.

The best hotels, with no ex pense spared on the transportation of ma chines, luggage, refreshments or other com forts, will levy a tax of $5 daily. The economical pleasure sceker can accomplish the same results for $1 or less. A bed at a small hotel or a farm house, though not a ways downy, answers the purpose to the tired but happy tourist too placid and slecpy to b disturbed; while fresh eggs and milk with « “plece of pie" in addition can be had for a song. As for drinks along the way there Is noth ing &0 wholesome and refreshing, would the thirsty wheeler but beli:ve it, as a cup of cool spring water. Cold milk has the ad vantage of being food as well as drink, but it is not always altogether satisfactory as a thirst quencher. The journey once settled upon it is well for the feminine tourists contemplating it t prime themselves on several fmportant points She should practice going ten miles farther each day, beginning with ten miles for a start; the great trouble with women is that they are apt to overdo at first. Another item i practice on a narrow path, as country roads are often rough and the side path must ba resorted to. She should also be con- yersant with the construction and working of her bicycle in case of accident. The next thing in order is what shall she wear, It she wishes to be a howling swell she cannot do better for cool weather than order a sult the exact counterpart of that worn by Mrs. Schuyler Hamilton, ane of the crack wheelwomen of New Yor's Michaux Cycle club. This was callel the smartest costume at th. club. The skirt is cut from dust colored English covert cloth, quite full, reaching tc the shoe tops and lined with scarlet silk The walst {s a short, tight fitting Norfo Jacket lined with satin and has a standing collar fastened with a storm butt A double row of small round buttons made of the cloth set in horn, extends down the length of the walst, one Tow serving to fasten it. The sleeves are full, but not stiffened Tan colored leather shoes with rubber soles are worn, and galters of the cloth button tc the knee, though the very latest novelty in footgear is the tan leather shoe lacing to the knee, a style making ankle neat and slim. Tho undergarments siik, and a ehort silk pe smart little Tam O'Sha wing stuck jauntily on one side completes this fetching rig, while the gloves should be of heavy kid or dogskin, very loose. For hot weather the newest thing Is the skirt of Russian bomespun so popular with men. It looks for all the world like crash toweling, is gray in color and cool, and ean be put right in the tub and washed—an it of weight to the grimy tourist. With this a linen shirt waist, in Paris one of orla lawn is much in vogue, but for a trip longer than che day a darker colo Is more serviceable. A cap peaked back and frout should be worn with this costume, or a straw hat with brim, otherwise a coat of tan is the result. A small vell should always be worn to hold the hair in place and ward off sunburn unless the wheelwoman is supersensible with more regard eyes than her complexion, when & fe with th vell and wear an invisible hair net Still another question of vast s what (o carry on a tour, load thirty pounds in his box strapped to the handle bar woman in bloomers.

Monday evening at o'clock there will be a grand parade of wheel- men through the prineipal stre - all | who participate will be dmitted to the! race that evening free people can rest | assured that there will be no faking and | the race will be ridden and won on its merits. Those who enjoy the spo who should turn out and give the riders a hearty send- off. | In consequence of the result of the road race there are in Omaha today a few dis- appointed racing men. The favorites did not | seem to be materially in the race. Frederick- son, the young man the Kknowing ones | had picked for a winner, was hopelessly out of it, being one of the last scratch men to finish. Considerable money changed hands, the Letting being quite heavy for a bicycle race. Denman rode in splendid form con- ¢ldering that he has had but three weeks' training. He made over two-thirds of the pace for the rcratch men and had there been any of them willing to have set their shure of the pace the time prize would have gone to a scratch man, but as it was, they were all afraid of Mr. Frederickson Having heard beforehand of his wonderful ( performances they naturally all saved them- sclves for the finish To say the least the handicapping was rank, and had the as- soclation put it in the hands of the official handicapper we think it would have been a great deal more satisfactory. Taken as a whole the race was a great success, and it is hoped that the clubs will make it an annual affair. Barnett's performance at Louisville Deco- ration day was truly marvelous, riding alone unpaced. He equaled Sanger's wonderful un- paced mile of 2:07 1-5, and he is a Nebrask man, too. That is what makes it all the better. Barnett has a great future before him if he continues in the course he is now in and takes proper care of himself. William Lyle Dickey requests us to state that the publication of a recent with him in a local contemporary, which quotes him as being in favor of the proposed lantern and bell ordinance, was not authof ized and that he has never seen the ordi- nance and consequently is neither for nor against it. W. F. Clark, an 1895 novice, surprised everybody by his riding in the road race mounted on a_twenty-two-pound Columbia. He won second prize from the four-minute mark. The Omaha Wheel club runs mouth today, leaving the club house at 8 a. m. They will be met at LaPlatte by the Plattsmouth Wheel club and accompanied on the rest of the trip by then The Omaha Wheel club made another of its good old runs last Sunday. An_even two dozen made the trip to Missouri Vailey and return. The day was a beautiful one for the ride, and, as usual, the best of a good time was had. It was regretted that more did not turn out. However, these long runs do not catch the boys very well. Mr. H. Taylor made the trip with apparent e—this being his first road ride—and it will not be many more days before he will give some of the old ecorchers a good time on the road. Stay with it, Taylor. What has become of our old *‘road horse,” H. P. Sutorius? Mr. Sutorius, you have not made a run with us this season. Would like to sce your smiling face on our runs again, professor. When Is that much talked of pool tourna- ment going to be held? Several of the sharks” who have been in actlve training for the past month or two are anxiously waiting developments. Hope this fs not a ummer game.” Our old, original “Dad” (Frank Mittauer) pald us a visit the other day. Frank was a very welcome visitor; he Is a veteran member of the Omaha Wheel club, also of the League of American Wheelmen. Come and see us again, Dad; it is with great interest that we listen to your tales as to how it was in the days of the old ordinary. Billy Emerson also pald us a short visit the other evening. He says if the boys will come out to Waterloo he will have something for us in the “seed house.” Hang onto it, Bill, for a while and we will be there in the near future—nothing passes us but lightning. Billy is a veteran of the league from way back; his number is in the thirtecn hundreds, and he takes great pride in his veteran pin. There are nota few of the new members of the Omaha Wheel club whom we have not had the pleasure of mecting. Come around and_get acquainted with us, boys, and be good fellows. The next regular monthly business meeting will be held next Tuesday evening, June 4, and we hope to meet you then. Where s our ‘“Three-man Quartet?"

The prizes, five in number, are all valuable and weli worth striving for. The contestant who covers the most mi'es in the six nights will be presented with a $100 high grade Tm- perfal bicycle; the second best man with an $85 Monarch; the third, a $40 gold watch; the fourth, with a $25 silver watch, while the last, or booby prize, the fifth in number, will be a fifty-four inch ordinary. In addition to these trophies there will be an equal number of special prizes. The man who makes the most miles on the first night will receive a $5 sweater; the second, a pair of $4 riding shoes; the third, a pair of $5 pedals; the fourth, a $3.50 cyclometer, and the fifth, a $5 pair of boxing gioves. All of these prizes will be awarded im- mediately upon the announcement of the referee’s decision, and these conditions are such as should insure an extra large field of contestants. is street From a Toorist’s Note Hook. The club will make a run to Plattsmouth today, provided the weather and roads are favorable. Arrangements have been made for the club members at the Hotel Riley, so that no one need go hungry. Some of the Plattsmouth boys will meet the club at the Platte river bridge and escort them into town. The plan s to return by way of Pacific Junction and the Bluffs, As this is one of the pretty runs and a favorite every club man should turn out and bring his cycling friends with him. The June run cards are out and in the hands of the club members. The captain has picked out some of the best runs of the season for the month, and the club will have a chance to prove its right to the motto, “In the Saddle.” The most enjoyable part of the bieyelo clubman’s life fs spent in the sad- dle. Charlie Edwards, T. R. Huston and G. A. Fuchs were three of the club to finish in the road race that made a good £howing for men who make no pretentions to racing ability. Keep at it boys and you will develop into good men for these parts. John Hynes was pushed off by the club mascot in the road race and up to a late hour he had not appeared over the top of the hill coming toward the tape. Am afraid that push sent him on the way to Millard or some other seaport. Leonard Hartson is the champion Hill climber of the club since last Sunday, he having broken the Garner hill record by surmounting its top on his wheel. The men who have climbed it heretofore are as scarce as hen's teeth. Len, we doff our cap. Mrs. George M. Randall presented the club with a beautiful sik flag at the special meeting held last week. Mrs. Randall re- celved a vote of thanks for her kind gift and the club's secretary was instructed to apprise her of the club’s appreciation. The flag fs a_ beauty, fashioned after the manner of the United States army guidon, mounted on a hollow, burnished brass standard and fastened at the top with a knot of club colors from which fall a heavy silk cord and tassels; the fleld is white emblazoned with the club emblem, a cherry diamond and navy blue arrow, in the center, wreathed with words “Tourist Wheelmen of Omah A color bearer will be appointed cach month to carry the ensign, the pleasant duty for June falling upon Sam J. Howe. The colors will only be taken out upon spe- cial occasions and will fly from the head of the column, Harry C.

Are you going to attend the meet at Kearney this year? If so, try and join the meet club” and make the trip a-wheel. John Hynes can tell you all about it. Will M. Barnum made his second century 1ast Sunday and has applied for his gold bar. The Century club board will pass on his application for bars for May 19 and May 26 Will is rapidly becoming a warm member of the centurions. He had a hard ride of it, both out and coming in, on account of the wind, which blew directly in his fack. One resignation was handed in at the special meeting last week, and was accepted. Club emblems for your sweater may be obtained of Frank Newcomb, secretary of the club. Club caps can be obtained of W. A.

Both Darby and Balsz have been in bad form ever since we left home, both be- ing debllitated by continued severe colds. Shaffer was out of the game for five days and Nattress has bedn afflicted with the charley horse nearly all the time since he joined us. Then Pace received a split hand a few days ago and will not be able to play for ten days. S0 you can see under what disadvantages we have had to work. Ulrich is playing a beautiful short, Slagle a great middle and Lohman is throwing better than any man I ever saw. Hutchison is the best man on the team at the bat, as most of the grounds are large and they give him & chance to show what he can do. He Is also playing a good flelding game.

Peoria i playing championship ball and both Rockford and Quincy are rapidly in form, with renewed stimulus in the way of new players, and on their next visit here much better ball than they gave us the first trip can be sanguinely ex- pected. Jacksonville also Is making an ef- fort at strengthening, but as yet has not been able to catch onto as desirable players as the other teams. It is to be hoped that the Jax, too, will be fortunate enough to re- inforce themselves before again starting west, for if they are not it is feared they will not last long.

It will be to Lincoln and St. Joe, then to Des Moines, then back to Lincoln and St. Joe and so on and on for the Omaha team for the next three months. In the interim it will be hard here for the fans to remember that there are such places as Rockford, Quincy, Peoria and Jacksonville. St. Joe has released Emmerke. Ulrich seems to be the best player in the Omaha team. The St. Joseph team fw badly crippled, the manager claims. Bill Kreig s hitting the often for Rockford. | 8t. Joseph has secured Sacramento, Cal,, to _pitch. Lincoln is trying to sign McKibben, third baseman of the Des Moines. Zels made seven errors in one game third base for Jacksonville recently. Quincy and St. Jée have been swapping players. In the deal Quincy got big George McVey. Cy. Duryea, formerly of Cincinnati, is one of the star twirlers in the Eastern league this season. Quincy was after) Joe Walsh, but only wanted to give him cigarette and he wouldn’t go. Quincy has secured Pitcher Abbey, with Omaha last season. He will be the star of the association, sure. Tommy White, who has been playing with Indianapolis, has signed with Jacksonville, of the Western assoclation Manager Brackett of Quincy, T, would like to hear from a pitcher, a first baseman, a short stop and on outfielder. Nolan, Harter and Veach have joined the St. Joe team and now the St. Joe team might just as well go and jump in the river. Marcum was fined $5 for throwing the ball over the fence and had to pay for the ball He said he threw it away because it was a “‘hoodoo.—Quiney Whig. In the sixth inning of a recent Western as- soclation game the first nine men at the bat for Des Moines made a hit aplece, and sev- eral of them hit for two or three bases. Manager Traffley bad a dlamond pin stolen from him enroute from Rockford to Peoria. Traff is like the actress, who, when she gets about Traft's age, has to advertise. Quincy wasn't doing business when it traded Nolan and Veach to St. Joe for Me- Vey, I don't think. Rockford pounded Nolan for twenty-eight hits yesterday.—Quincy Whig. The impression got abroad that Umpire Snider was presented with $60 in gold here Oh, no, it was Catcher Snyder. When an umpire {s presented with gold in Rockford they will be having Maypole dances in Green- land.—Rockford Star. S. Joe has released Pitcher Jerry Eddin- ger, his work not coming up to the manage- ment's standard. They are making many changes down there. Barnes of Lafayette, Ind., has been signed to play third and a new outfielder secured in the peson of Deveraux. Rockford Republican: A rumor was afloat on the street last night to the effect that Manager Nicol had sold the services of Fred Underwood to the Chicago club for $500. In the absence of more definite information it may be said that this is highly improba- ble and is not generally believed. Twineham, lately released by St. Louis, has caught on in great style in Detroit. It is generally the case where a man is taken from a minor league into the big one, does not prove fast enough for the latter, and is allowed to return to his first love, ‘that he goes in and plays a game that s “out of sight.” Manager Ebright of the Lincoln team has entered a protest against the giving of Tue day's game to Peoria because of his team's non-appearance. He places his protest on the ground that the team moved in accord- ance with instructions from Secretary Hickey of the association. Manager Ebright of the Lincoln team has entered a protest agairst the giving of Tues- day's game to Peoria because of non-appearance. He places his protest the ground that the team moved in accord- ance with instructions from Secretary Hickey of the association, The managers of the other teams in the association are “stuck’ on John Kling. He can piteh, catch, play the infield and out- field, and has done all these for the local team. In Sunday's game he got one single, a double and a home run. And last year he was an amateur, warbles the Rockford Star. Kimerer, the youngkter picked up by Lin- coln, is proving a great find. He is taking hig regular turn in the box and winning the majority of the games pitched. He especial speed or curves, but a good com- bination of both, with good control, and ex hibits wonderful coolness in the box. He is a graduate of Lincoln amateur circles, Andrews joined the Des Moines club Tues- day at Rockford. His previous practice in the box had been somewhat limited, but he was touched but for four hits during the three innigs he pitched. A timely three- bagger by him gave Des Moines three of her runs on that day, and his ability as a sprinter was very favorably spoken of by the Rockford papers, as was also the fielding of his position | And now it Is the western clubs who are howiing about the wmpire. 8t.

He wishes it given out good and strong that none —absolutely none—of the Des Moines players are for sale, although from the numerous propositions received it almost looks as if he had publicly advertised for bids. Flashes from the Rockford Star: Omahas were in luck to get two game: And Dave Rowe thinks so, too. The Morn- ing Star said to keep your eye on the Peorias. They're climbing, sure 'nuff. Un- derwood has made the longest hit on the home ground to date, and Shaffer the great- est catch. Your good looking friend, Inks, was right in it with the stick Sunday. He made four hits, one a home run. Catcher Lohman, judging from his work here, will not hold the place in the averages that his name indicates. The crowd Sunday made life miserable for $300 Darby, as they called him. He was pie and shortcake for our hitters. The Rockfords are certainly a dandy lot of batters. A pitcher starts in against them with his Adams apple feeling like a canteloupe. Pitcher Whitehill's con- tract with Detroit exempts him from play- ing on Sundays. He is a strict Sabbatarian, and does not even attend the Sunday games as a spectator. Manager Nicol, according to the Rockford Morning Star, left town Sunday evening, bound for Indianapolis and Cincinnatl. A good many people have been directing some severe criticisms against Nic which he has not deserved. He was not in the least to blame for the non-arrival of his pitchers. Dillon and Dolan accepted advance money, and it was no small sum, either. Dillon took his time about coming, and after Dolan wired that he would leave immediately for Rockford, nothing more was heard of him. Pitcher Horton of Terre Hauts has also ac- cepted advance money, and is expected here today. Manager Nicol's present trip is evi- dence of his_intention to give Rockford a good team. He will find Dolan if he is on earth, and either bring him to Rockford or land him in jall. He will probably sign one or two new men, in and outfielders. He is very well satisfied with the team as it stands and contemplates no changes, but intends to have a couple of good men to use in case of an emergency. He may also return with a pitcher of national reputation, and the cranks should not holler just yet. Yesterday about noon the wagon of the American Express company stopped in front of the Tremont house, and the driver called out in a loud voice “Is Kid Speer here?’ says the Quincy Whig. Several of the Lincoln club were sitting in front of the hotel, but Speer was not there, and the driver delivered the package to HI Lattin, the clerk. The package consisted of a small ball, bat and a box, and, of course, the members of the Lincoln club present knew that Speer's chums in Lincoln had sent the package, which was labeled “Kindergarten Speer.”” The members of the club patiently awaited the arrival of Kid Speer and then crowded around him to see what was in the box. When opened a small catching glove and a pair of spectacles were found in the box. The bat and spectacles were probably sent to Speer to remind him of the fact that he has been doing some very weak batting of late, and the spectacles were intended to assist him In seeing the ball when it was crossing the plate. Kid Speer didn't know whether to get mad or laugh, but when the other Lincolnites gave him the laugh he joined them. Paddy Miles joined the team at Des Moines yesterday and Pace returned home. Frank Motz is the objector of the Western league. He draws more fines than any two players in the circuit, The here.
