THE OMAHA DAILY BER:'SUNDAY, JUNE 30, 1895. 19 ¥ _— Eomething About Omeha's Character as a | Base Eall City, | WHISPERINGS OF THE WHIRLING WHEEL Dreexy Chats with Horsomen — Sporty reparations for the Glorlous KFourth—ttase Lall and Haclng Galore, Notwithstanding there is no sport in the world, never has been and probably never will be, that Is as popular and has as many followers as the great national game, it is reluctantly acknowledged that Omaha is not & good base ball city. In fact she is not In {t with many cities of half her population, and | even Lincoln and Sioux City are better towns in this regard. The fdea of a couple hundred people turning out daily to witness this most enjoyablo and exhilarating sport In a city Wwith nearly 200,000 inhabitants is almost in- credible. And still this is the here, Bven tho Peorias, who came here last Tuewday heading the pennant race, were not uciently attractive to swell the usual week ay attendance. They gave us two fine games, as fist ball as could be seen any- where, and it is safe to say that two thou- sand pair of eyes would be an extravagant es- timate of those Who witnessed the contests. While the greatest and most healthful sport ever originated, base ball is likewise about the cleanest, and it is these facts that com- bine In making it so tremendously popular. The Omaha team, by careful attention, by ju- diclous lopping off here and adding there, and assiduous adherence to all the laws of good management, is now one of the best rounded teams in tho assoclation, and Is playing as £00d, I not better ball, than any of the rest of them. That they deserve betier support is granted on all hands. Managers Rowe and MeVittie haye devoted their entire time and fortuno (o this ball team; they have catered unceasiugly to the fans, have submitted to thelr whims, and listened to their advice, and still {t doesn’t seem to have any effect. The Omaha fan’s idea of reciprocity is certainly an amusing quantity. The gentlemen who have their money in the game here, and who conduct it as any other business should be conducted, are not magnates simply be- cause they hoped it would be an investment for them, but also for their love of the great sport. This they have amply demonstrated this season, when they have gone on and plunged deeper and deeper Into expense, changing grounds, ing improvements and experimenting with players, in the face of the fact that the people will not turn out to see the games. It takes plucky managers to stand this sort of a thing for any very considerable length of time. As President Rowe remarked to the writer last evening, when the people must be called upon and Individually begged to come out and see the games, It is high time for somebody to be on the lookout, case This is truly a lamentable status of things from a sporting standpoint, and it is to be most carnestly hoped that a change will come, that from this on out the home games “will at least rec:lve respectable patronage, and that the game will be elevated here to the standard that makes it a per- fect craze in every metropolitan eity In the country. How about Sun- day games, the ever doubting and critical crank may ask? But that is easily an- swered. The Sunday games constitute the one redezming feature of the sport in Omaha, and still they are nothing what they should be. Instead of crowds of from 1,500 to 1,800, which signalize these occasions, there should be, speaking on a comparative basis with other cities of Omaha's size nd importance, four, five or six thou- and. Even with an attendance of 2,500 at Sunday games the local team could subsist and exist, despito the paucity of receipts on | week days. But the club that has to depend upon its Sunday games for profit, or existence rather, certainly rests upon a very doubtful and unstable foundation. The number of Sunday games allotted to each team is small not over a baker's dozen cach, and they take their chances with Jupiter Pluvius on these. If it rains that is so much clear loss, If It is threatening the crowd is small, and so it goes, and the crank that claims that the Sun- day games are sufficient to carry the team through the season and leave the managers with enough coal and flour and potatoes to last them through the winter Is presumptuous Indeed. It is all very nice and easy for the fellow who goes In on a pass to dole out his roasts on the management and players, because their every action isn’t in accordance with his Idiotic ideas of what- Is proper and right. He can blankely-blank the managers for res leasing this man or that, or for not securing & couple of good men from the Bostons or New Yorks; ho can declare that the newspa- per repcriers dare not say a word because they are all bought up by the management, but there is one thing he cannot or will not do and that s invite a friend to B0 to the game with him, and pay his way at the gate. I am not denying the fans the right to criticise player or management. They make the game and are entitled to their talk every time. But I do say that soreheads, pessimists and nincompoops have no rights anybody ne>d respect. The gang who roasts the management, because it refuses to give up its last dollar, and plunge into debt besides, when there is nothing coming in at the gate, nothing In sight, is the gang shot at h-re. or It wouldn't be a bad idea to demonstrate today that Omaha is not so base-ballically bad ‘as she is painted. The Jacksonvilles will again draw themselves up in battle’s stern array, and endeavor to show the Hutch- lson family where they are wrong. A little Jollyg from the cranks, our rights from “de empire,” and we will show Buckerino and some of the other fellows that they have sompany yet. Omaha is not out of the hunt yet, by a long ways, and with the team in sontinued good condition, ought to climb sky- ward pretty fast, The Peorias convinced the enthusiasts in Omaha that they are a pretty good sort of an all-round ball team. There is perfect har- mony In their ranks. Dugdale handles them competently, and they play good, straight, glean ball. While individually mediocre, the Peorias are collectively strong. It is really pleasing to noto the success old George McGinnis 15 making with the Indicator. The day was when George was a hero in the base ball world, and all his triends are delighted to seo that he s emu- lating his playing days in the umpire's posi- tion., Inks, who succeeded Billy O'Brien at first, Is fast catching on. So far he has played the bag perfectly and batted with the best of them, and in time will probably demonstrate the wisiom of the ¢ There s no better fellow than folly Billy O'Brien. Ho always was a popular ball player and a good one, and it is to be re- gretted that circumstances required his re- lease. Ho shouldn't be long out of a job, d probably will not be. Frank Donnelly left for his home in Spring- feld, Il last Wednesday. Donnelly is in good sbape now and as gentlpmanly a ball player as ever donned a uniform. He was ‘ot out here simply because Omaha's pitching lorce was overstockel. Little Nattress would like to be in the o all the time, and there is a host of s who would like to ses him there. Gragshopper Ulrich has been handicapped In_the lust half dozen games by a very deli- e little finger, and in consequence of this he has %ad to be very guarded about h throwing. It it has not been up to Tacks usual excellency the fans will know the reason why. He 1s one of the best men In the association and as game a player as aver lived. Pete Lohman's work behind the bat proves that a catcher is all the better for constant work. Pete's backstopping is of the kind ne would see in tho National league. Russell Pace has no excusg,to offer for the is now a fixtare with the Quiney nine. He will do his bost to play winning ball.—Quincy Herald. Or got It in the nock good and lard, you ought to huve added Mr. Herald. The St. Joo Herald says that the Omaha team is composed of habitual kickers. When they see they can't wine a game they try to bulldoze the umpire. How sad. “Dad” Clark is enjoying his second time on earth. Up In Omaha and Columbus the fans have been afflicted with dumb ague ever #ince the stories of Dad's good work im New York commenced to go the rounds, Ren Mulford. Well, Ren, if you had ever gotten mixed up in “Dad's” wheels as we have out here, you'd go crazy, toc Manager Alberts has signed a new in- flolder in John Richter from Lowlsville, Ky. He is sald to be a dandy.—St. Jee Herald. Is that all Colonel Richter Is? Harry Gatewood has floated Topeka and is now one of the Kansas league, on down to stars of the Buckerino stopped the gime yesterday to 1ook for his favorite bat. He accused one of the Jax with swiping it, but it was found in the lemonade barrol. g Star asserts that the the highest salaried Now do you believe The Rockford Morn Rockford players are men in the assoclation. that? The Rockford papers are roasting Barney Snyder, their catcher, They don't know that he stands second of all the backstops in the assoclation. There 1 no use walling over Billy O'Brien’s departure. He's gone; let him go, and get in the game. Charlle Frank, the outfielder, will not be here. He has been made manager of the Memphis, Tenn., club of the Southera league. St. Joe Harald, There's a kind o' satisfaction When a feller's done his work, And he has a strong reaction That Inclines to make him shirk, And at ev'nin’ he goes waikin, To th' old tobacco store And he hears th' boys a-talkin'— When they're waiiin' for th' score, There's a lot o' speculation On th' way its goin’ to First assent and then n: Some condemn and some Quite a few, with gestures fistic, Show they're loyal to the core, While the rest are pessimistic— When they're waitin' for th' score.

Louisville has signed Catcher Grant Briggs, late of Gloversville, N. Y. Cleveland cannot locate Elton Chamberlain He appears to be a dead card. Billy Hart is good for only one game in five days. So say the Pittsburg scribes. Matt Kilroy, he of the famous left wing, has been released by Grand Rapids. Jack Luby, released by Louisville, has signed with Scranton, Pa., so Pittsburg gets him not. “Pop” Galvin is sald to have so many faults that he will be compelled to give up the Indicator. Tom Kinslow has asked for his release from Pittsburg, and it is probably that his prayer will be granted. Manager McCloskey of Louisville says thaf Outflelder Clarke is not for sale. Washington Is said to have offered Pitchers Stockdale and Anderson for Billy Hamilton of the Phillies, Fred Pfeffer is accused of having an in. sane desire to return to Louisville. Fritz must be anxious to get back into the game. Philadelphians are sore on the Baltimory and say they are a gang of hoodlums. Beckley leads the Pittsburgs in batting. His average is but little over .300 at that. “Big Jake" is also on the top notch as a flelder. A free fight over a decislon by the umpire resulted in many spectators being injurel in the finish of a ball game at Massillon on Monday. Captain Tebeau of the Clevelands s able to hobble around on the grounds. It will be a week before he resumes position on third for his team. Tom Brown's brother, fornia about a_week ago. carried him off. & A Cincinnati fan was escorted off the grounds at Sportsman's park, St. Louis, on Sunday because he was rooting for the Reds. Talk about German hospitality “Dad” Clarke lost his second game of the season In Boston on Saturday. He has a better record than either Me:kin or Rusie. Chris Von der Ahe wanted to “beat up" George Hogriever because the latter guyed him on Sunday. Umpire K:cefe prevented him, In St. Louls they say that Tim Keefe gives everything to the Reds because he was for- merly Captain Ewing's brother's partner. How Tim has changed since he came west! Phil Ehret belleves that the St. Louis club is under a curse. Right, Philly; it is cursed by a few weak players, who pull back the good material on the team. And there are Uthers. g0 unguided, we all must lears his Bill, died in Cali- Quick consumption Whisperings of the Wheel, Get In the push and go to Kearney. The | committee on transportation reports the great- est of success and the special train is doubly insured from Omaha Wheel club boys alone. The Omaha Wheel club extends a hearty and cordial invitation to all wheel clubs and unattached wheelmen of Omaha and vicinity to go on their special train for Kearney to attend the state championships, July 4 and 5. Let us hear from Fremont, Blair, Platts- mouth and all other towns near Omaha. Our train leaves the union depot July 3 at 5:30 p. m. Half fare for the round trip on this train, It will cost you one fare and a third on all other trains. It 1s rumored that the Tourist Wheelmen are golng to surprise the natives and send the largest delegation o wheelmen that ever left this city to Kearney. Push it along, boys, it's a good thing. Over fifty of the Omaha Wheel club boys have ordered the special suits for Kearney, which consists of white duck trousers, blue and white striped blazer and white cap. A full representation of the “Googlers"” will bo there and it is regretted deeply that the “‘chief Googler,” Dad Perrigo, cannot be with them. However, Dad Mittauer will take his place and there is no doubt but what he will fill this honored position to the queen's taste. Quite a number of the wives and lady triends of the Omaha Wheel club members will accompany them, and it is hoped that their number will increase to such an extent before the 4th that we will-have to put on an extra car to accommodate them. All league members will be furnished with badg All unattached wheelmen who desire to go on this special train will kindly notify the secretary. of the Omaha Wheel club. A $10 DIl will more than cover actual ex- penses. Nothing going on in Omaha for wheelmen. Send in your name. Boy lost! Who hit Swattenberg? Any In- formation regarding the whereabouts of our old clubmate, “Plano Legs,” alias “‘Swatten- berg,” will be greatly appreciated. Last ae- counts of him report that he turned his wheel toward the setting sun last Monday morning. However, we have a faint sus- pleion that he will arrive in Kearney before the special train. A more disapyointed iot of wheelmen than those who returned from Plattsmouth last Thursday evening was never heard of. The morning train carried about thirty racing men, trainers and frienis to Plattsmouth, where there was to be a bleyele tournament in the- afternoon. They were met at the depot by the Plattsmouth Wheel club and escorted to the Riley hotel, where dinner was hastily eaten and preparations were rap- idly belng made to repair to the race track, when a flash of lightning, followed by a peal of thunder, made the wheel men's bearts sink. In five minutes the rain was coming down in sheets, the streets were transformed into rivers and the only race that it would have been possible to have run then was a boat race. The Omaba contingent were a sorry looking lot. They had figured on bringing back all of the prizes offered, but les he has muffed during the past week in flald. been released by Chicago and their hopes were now blasted, and during the rest of the afterncon and until train time they were entertained at the new Platts- mouth club rooms. It was impossible to se- cure more than two hacks in the city, and chirps | Jot the | have among consequontly all in the party but the ladies were compelled to walk to the depot through a drenching rain, and it is needless to add hero that they were a soaked lot when they arrived in Omaha. The races were post- poned until July 11, when a few more races and still more prizes will be added to the already large list. It was announced in these columns last Sunday that the Googlers would not go to Kearney on July 4. This was an error. The Googlers have reorganized anl with nearly twice the members, under the leader- ship of the chlef Googlers, Mr. P. Von Windheim, better known as “Paddlefoot,” and Mr. EA Cox, or “Corkey,” as he i called by his colieagues. They will go to Kearney and show the people of the league meet city how to have a good time. They [will all wear uniforms and the Googler club badges. So, Kearney, prepare for them. The result of the races at Council Bluffs last Wednesday was somewhat of a surprise to Omaha wheelmen. Until then Fredrickson had not,been showing up in very good form, but he seemed to pick up and on that par- ticular day did himself proud by winning two races, and also getting a state record, Edwood of the Columbia team also showed up well for a novice, getting a first, second and third against such men as Gadke, Mach Fredrickson, Hattenhauer and others, and he will certainly show some of Nebraska's so- called fast men his hird wheel at Kearney it he retains his present speed. The man who rides a bicycle should be able to meet the world with a smiling face, be- cause he enjoys the most exhilarating exer- cise, combined with the most pleasant p time.

A letter just received from Morgan & Wright also contains an offer of a solid gold brick worth, when melted, $47.50, for the fastest unpaced mile against time In class A on cither day of the meet made on Morgan & Wright tires. This will be a prize worth going for and will bring out the best met- tle in that class. The above prize list foots up nearly $2,000, and will exceed that sum with the addition special prizes which are constantly coming in from supply houses. It will be the greatest state meet ever held in the west and Omaha will send a delegation that will open the Kearneyites' eyes when they see them.

Mr. Studebaker, however, positively denies this in a letter over his own signature which he wrote to a friend in this city., He says that he has no intention whatever of embarking in the bi- eycle busines The time has come when ladies feel They're out of style without a wheel.

After returning they had a meeting at their headquarters at which they adopted club colors, club emblems, etc, The gentlemen from Wayback and sur- rounding country who sought advertising and fame by bidding fabulous amounts for the Corbett-Fitzsimmons fight have now turned their attention to doing the same thing for the Zimmerman-Johason match. Len Note Rook. Ho! for Kearney! The club will have a large representation on the grounds. Many of the members have signified their inten- tion of riding to the meet on their wheels with the meet club. Others will go on the train. However they g0 you will find them there. You will join them, won't you? The club was tendered an informal re- ception at the Fort last Wednesday evening by the Fort Omaha Cycle club. A band con- cert, parade and a nice little lunch were the features, The presence of the lady members on short ciub runs are making the little spins quite popular. It-ds no trick at all to get out fifty club members on a run. A glance at .he roll book shows that we our members citizens of the cities In the south, north, east and west, ex- tending over a vast territory.

Huntley, two very popular and prominent members of the club, will join with the Denver *push’ as they go through to Asbury Park, N. J., on the 3d. Hope Davy will capture one of those famous speelers and bring it back with him for a club mascot. The Tour.st race men seemed to be “in it over at the benefit races last Wednesday. Elwood, Fredrickson, Ehlers and Johnson all captured prizes. Fredrickson, the pride of the club, smashed a state record and made a close fight for another. He's all right! Jack Culley entered but was not in condi- tion and therefore unable to show ‘em. Once in shape Jack will lower that quarter, Four handsome bulletin boards occupy consplcuous places in many places now for the benefit of the club members and their triends who ride. The boards were placed in position last week and each week the runs called will be chalked upon them. Several more of these boards will be finished up and distributed around among the several haunts of the wheelmen. The “Pump House,” Dax- on's, Omaha Bicycle Co., and Barnum's each haye one. As per my letter last week, herewith find the rules governing the competition for the Bumerous prizes hung up for the club mem- bers during the ridifg sehson of 1895. Com- petition commences With the first run called in July and ends with last run in Novem- ber, Club members'wili'do well to cut this out and preserve It fof future reference.

This will_be settled by board of officers. Records of the competition In these two classes will be kept by the captain, drawn from the club register and published each month competition will in no way interfere with the pleasures of club runs, Class C, ap- plications. ~ Members to win these prizes must obtain as many new members as pos- sible.

This season Shadeland Onward has two of his get to enter the 2:30 list—Plumstone (2), Riley Medium (2), Red Wilkes (2) and Su- perior (). Athal Wilkes, another green one by Shade- land Onward, paced to a record of 2:19% at Denver, Colo. There will be more to follow, we are told. Gill Curry is a good mud horse as well as an every day pacer. At Fleetwood he took the 2:10 pace from Paul, Susie G, Rebus, Fred K and Whirligig. Flying Jib, 2:04, Is again brought east for the amusement of the people. It is thought he will assume the same role as formerly, “the song and dance act.” Ethel A aidn’t come up to her owner's ex- pectation at Dubuque, but this was her first race and Mr. Conley could not handle her very well on account of an injured arm. Impetuous was very rank in her first race at Dubuque and after four heats had been trotted she got down to business and took the next three and the race. She is bred to stay. At Peorla, 111, entries closed on Tuesday, June 25, in the twelve clase events offered by the Lakeview Driving park for its four days' meeting, July 2to . The brown mare, Topsey, 2:28, by Royal Fearnaught, dam Dolly Smith, dam Phoebe Wilkes, 2:08%, ran away at Brooklyn, N.

This is one of the grandest brood mares living. 'She was bred by Colonel R. G. Stoner, Parls, Ky., and was sold to and owned by S. Browne of the Kalamazoo ock farm until his death, and who refused $5,000 for her. He valued her 5o highly that he placed her at the head of his entire list of brood mares, which position she rightly deserved.

The Goodwin Bros., New York, have just completed a volume on turf matters entitled How to Win or Lose Money on Small Capi- tal” Some of the subjects on which it touches are “systems,” of beating the races, which are treated at length, exposing the bad method of betting adopted by all turf speculators, in what manner they handicap themselves by want of knowlelge as to how to invest their money. It also shows what are the best methods to be used in order to becomo successful. “‘Book,” bookmaking' and how a “book" should be conducted are thoroughly reviewed, showing the amount of capltal required, how odds are calculated, “'sheet keeping, what constitutes the mak- ing of a “round book,” how to calculate per- centages.

The bicycle is the nucleus of a widening | pulpit have begun a syste particularly conjured tion, controvers; Some of the brethren matie attack on the wheel- wheelers, and have up visions of disaster and destruc- the like of which was never dreamt of practical people. The number of pulpit pessimists is not as great as the commotion they have started would indicate, and their warning words seem to have accelerated the pice of the machine into popular favor, eral of the progressive preachers have rallied to the defense of the wheel. Consplcuous fn the number is Rev. John L. Scudder of Jersey City. Mr. Scudder is an enthu:iastic wheel- man himself, and about 100 bicycle riders listened last Sunday to what one of the'r nu ber had to say on the subject of great iuter- est to all of them. The preacher declared that the bicycle has become a universal and permanent factor in our civilization, and tp ke of its great influence in promoting the cause of good roads and solving the problem of city transportation. He cordially approved of women's uze of the wheel, and of the revolu- tion In women's dress which it is bringing about. The most important part of his ser- mon was that relating to the effect of bi cyc'ing upon the observance of Sunday. He frankly admitted that the wheel is turning the first day of the week into a day of recrea- tion. “If this continues,” sa!d Mr. Scudder, “the effect will be to weiken the churches of America and discourage religious worship. Of courso, It is useless for the clergy to deliver tirades upon this subject and denounce wheel- men. It any reform Is achioved in this mat- ter it will ‘start with the wheelmen them- selves, and from a serious consideration on their part of the far-reaching effects of this growing practice. Their actions will «deter- mine whether or not in their judgment the church and the Sabbath day are valuable ad- Juncts ot clvilization.” It is nct a question with the wheelmen, says the New York Tribune, whether the church and Sunday are valuable adjuncts of civilization, It Is a fact that for a large per- centage of riders Sunday s the only day when they can mount their Wheels by daylight. It they could go to church and take their “run’ also many would gladly do 83 To meet their damand the churches must provide storerooms for bicycles and open their doors to wheelmen wearing riding dress. Mr. Scudder is right in saying that it is useless to denounce and scold those who ride on Sunday, and in lay- ing emphasis on the importance of a general Saturday half-holiday. But the churches un- doubtedly have it in their power to give wheelmen an epportunity to attend their sory ices incidentally, as it were; and the preach ers noed feel under no obligation to preach bicycle sermons or to search the scriptures for texts in which the word “‘wheel” oceurs. WHEEL AGAINST HORSE. Others besides military authorities will watch with interest the proposed race be- tween troop A of the Illinois cavalry and the bicycle corps of the First regiment, says the Chicago Post. " It Is suggasted that the troop and the bicy- cla riders go overland to the annual encamp- ment at Springfield. The troopers reckon that they can make the march in four days. If that is their lowest estimate they will be bally beaten. The “century” record for cycling is about seven and one-half hours. Ot course the wheeling soldiers could not do that well, but they are all tried and skillful riders and, even encumbered by the ac- couterments, they should be able to a complish 100 miles in fifteen hours. The distance to Springfleld is 185 miles as the crow flies. The roads are hard and dry. It will be seen at a glance that unless the troopers are concealing thelr real expecta- tions or the wheelmen have been greatly underestimated the young fellows of the First regiment would have time to rest two or three days in Soringfield and then ride out to meet their brothers in arins and es- cort them into town, In the mountains or through a country re- cently visited by heavy ruins the cavalry would have a possible advantage, But there Is hardly a chance that they can outstrip the fleet wheelmen over good, dry, level roads. Still, the contest should not be dis- couraged. It is this sort of manly emula- rvice tion that makes an efficient military s Go in and race, and may the best ors, women V- Wo say: servant—wheel or horse—win, INSURING WHEEL The blcyele is a popular but expensive luxury. The man who owns one considers himselt among the fortunate, and the man Who doesn’t own one is woefully cast down because he doesn’t and, if he has not harkened well in the days of his youth to the teach- ings regarding the wickedness of personally appropriating another's goods, he may be inclined to soothe his spirits by riding away on another’s wheel, 1In fact, this thing has been known to happen—has happened fre- quently of late, and the sufferer from the loss of the wheel has had nothing to recompense him, and was eoldom able to recover his property by overtaking the rogue. But now the owner of the bicycle is to ba protected against theft or any aceident to his wheel at a cost of $6 a year. The plan of carrying out this scheme is as follows: Any owner of a bicycle, on regis- tering its number with the insurance com- pany, having its condition examined by one of the incpectors, and paying the stipulated amount, gets a regular insurance policy, which is g0od for one year, and insures him against damage by accident or loss by theft At tho same time he recelves a ‘‘repair eard,” with his name and address, the num- ber of his policy and the make and number of his whesl written on it. The insurance company has a number of repair shops in various portions of the city in which the scheme is operated, with an agent at each repair shop. In case a policy holder dam- ages his wheel by accident he takes it with his card to the nearest repair shop of the company and makes a statement to the agent of the way In which the accident occurred. The wheel is then repaired for him free of charge, or in case of irreparable damage an- other wheel of equal value is given, In case of lovs by theft another wheel is supplied the loser, or, at the option of the company, the cash value of the wheel is paid COSTUMES FOR WOMEN. Town Topics makes these sensible remarks about cycling costumes for women A woman riding a bicycle in knickerbock- ers still attracts the attention of citizen and is the cbject of unconcealed ridicule from rude observers. A few women thus attired are seen on the avenues, however, and I must believe that very soon’ all female riders will dress just about the same as men do. The woman's bicycle will not remain, the man's wheel taking its place. And if the women are to ride at all I think that they will be more comfortable and will look bet- ter on the man's wheel and in trousers of the “golt"" pattern. The suggestiveness of that attire will vanish wholly just as soon as it becomes conventional and is not re- garded with curlosity and disrespect by the ribald and licentious. These things depend upon custom, end whereas it is already con sidered sufficlently modest tu display the leg as far as the knee, encased in leggins, it will be regarded as proper to conceal the higher portion of tho llmb in trousers, There can be no question that the women one sees uptown looking the most graceful, secure and trim are the few that are mounted on men's whe The low-hung woman's wheel, with the high handle bars and the heavy screen protectors to prevent the flap ping skirts from becoming tangled In the chain, is not a desirable machine and cannot survive. I should advise all well shaped young women that are preparing to learn bieyeling to learn In men's fashion and to wear the most practicable and modest garb that the circumstances will permit. 1 advis this in the conviction that in a short time the woman's wheel will pass out of ex istence and those now ridtng it will have to learn over again and hang their skirts In the clothes press.

VIRTUES day adds long list of those pneumatic. The latest of these is that the wheels of a bicyele being encircled by a band of India rubber and dry air—which is a per fect Insulator—the rider s completely insu- Iated from the earth, and, consequently, Is to the attacks of the electric fluid. Thus day by day it becomes more and more a fact that life without a pneumatie tire i neither safe nor worth having. Any one who suffers from nervousness during a thun der shower Las now only to go into a barn or the cellar and sit himself upon the saddle of a pneumatie tired bicycle to be perfectly safe from lightning stroke. As the chanee of a man on a bieycle being struck by light- ning have been carefully calculated to be one in a billion, there will, of conrse, be some pessimists who will deny that this newly dis- covered virtue of the pnmeuatic as a light- ning insulator amounts to very much any- way. and thus discourses on tho dis. OF THE some new already eredited TIRE. Bach virtnes to the to the AMERICAN MAKE SUPERIOR. A few years ago the man with an imported bicyela felt a little bit superior to any ple- befan rider of an American-made wheel. The idea, however, was not long in disappearing, and ‘'we soon learned the best bleyeles in the world were made in America. We have not only learned that ourselves, but the forelgn- ers too are now learning it. There are sev- eral bleyelo manufacturers in Chicago who have started what looks like the nucleus of a conslderable demand for their bicycles in forelgn markets. One firm in the last few weeks shipped a large number of wheels to France. The American wheel surpasses in lightness and strength anything that is made on the other side, and the riders there seem to be finding that out. THINGS CYCLISTS SHOULD KNOW. 1t you want to avoid the dromedary position when riding see that about twelve inches of space exists between the peak of the saddle and the center of the handle-bar, It your riding develops knoeache clevate the saddle. When the reach is too short the rider sacrifices comfort and appearance to aches and increased labor. Those who suffer from tender feet will find a rock salt foot bath of great benefit in tough ening these members, so that no discomfort will bo experienced, oven when the longest rides are taken on hot days. g In days gone by women when riding with thelr husbands or sweethearts sat upon a pillion behind them. Cycling, more polite and more modern, gives women the first seat on a tandem. Soaking a lamp wick in vinegar and drying it thoroughly before using will prevent a lamp from smoking. Beware of an attempt to gain lightness in your mount by riding a featherwelght saddle. Discomfort more often than pleasure is the price paid for the few ounces thus saved. The back wheel hub needs the most oiling of any part of a machine. Five thousand miles Is the distanco claimed for the tire on the rear wheel to travel before it begins to show sgns of wear. The one on the front wheel should be good for nearly 7,000 miles. To be comfortable and harmless a saddle should be perfestly straight; fo tiit it forward throws too much weight on the hands and arms, while a backward slant is often even more injurious to the rider. DON'TS FOR BIKE RIDERS. Don't “‘coast” without a brake. Dou't ride your s's er's “bike.” Don't swear by your cyclometer. Don't take up the whole road in your efforts to guard your “bloomers” from colision. Don't ride up hill at an angle of 45 degrees. You will feel better if you walk up. Don't wear golf stockings vn a long journey, less you are seeking martyrdom. Don't ride in the middie of the road, or you will catch trouble “a-coming and a-going." Don't try to raise your hat to the passing “bloomer” until you become an.expert in guiding your wheel. Don't buy a bicycle with down-curve han- dles. It is impossible to sit ercct and hold that kind of a handle. Don’t go on a bicycle wearing a tail coat unless you enjoy making a ridiculous show of yoursell, Don't travel without wrap to be worn while resting. cold is a stubborn thing. Don't forget that your tires are but rubber and that rubber is not an irresistible force, not even a good macadam crusher. Don’t attempt ‘“‘centuries” until you feel fully competent of the task. Wheeling to excess Is dangerous to people With heart troubles. Don't think for a moment that the pedes- trian or the driver of a carriage has no rights. They have as many as you have, no more, no_less. Don't sing “Daisy Bell” to your fair part- ner when your irtonti ns are ser,cus. Breach of promise suits have been instituted on slighter grounds, SHORT SPURTS, “Eyolution in bicycle saddle construction,” said a New York e manufacturer, “‘has developed from the unwieldy, cumbersome, coiled spring articlo welghing from five to ten pounds of a few searons ago A neat pattern of saddle, devold of springs, weigh- ing less than a pound, which, with the im- proved methods of uiing a wheel now in vogue, riding as much on the pedals as on tho seat, is much more comfortable than the older styles. The surplus energy of the cyclist of today is therefore not devoted to cariying about a number of pounds of sur- plus steel which is of no earthly use to him or her except as old iron.” Tho knickerbockers of the cyclists = no longer attract attention or excite ridicule, and there are those who belleve that the time is not far distant when man will go back to the knee breeches of our forefathers, bic: cling having the result of developing the muscles of the leg to such an extent as to do away with those spindle shanks which wero the main cause of the adoption of long trousers. Mies Kate Field is one of the latest wheel ithusiosts, and likes the wheel immensely. Miss Field believes in bloomers. Her cycle costume is of blue, and with this ehe wears a jaunty and becoming sailor hat. She re- gards the cycle as a splendid time saver, healthful, and, above all, quite the correct locomotion for up-to-date people. Our Orlental friends have taken up the modern craze, and Mr. Sze of the Chinese legation in Washington is a decidedly pic turesque and conspicuous figure whirling about the streets of the national capital in his gorgeous attire, and propelling the wheel with Chinese slippers. What the bicycle is bringing the world to has been startingly illustrated in the little Vermont town of Vandam, where the pedes- trians, who are in %o hopsless a minority, are obliged to.carry whistles and blow sig- nals of warning on all perilous crossings The Vandamers who do not ride the steel steeds are ing pretty dearly for their whistles, and ~undoubtedly pronounce the name of their village nowadays with an extra emphasis on the last syllable. A mammoth bicycle and riding academy 1s to be built in New York City at a cosl of $400,000, exclusive of the site. There will be three bicycle rings, the largest of which will be on the roof, and be larger than the Madison Square garden ring. It will skirt the four-foot parapet, and enclose an area which has a seating capacity of 1,600. A zealous Denver policeman arrested a bicyclene who ventured out after dark clad in_her brother's suit. Lillian Russell, the noted prima donna, s taking lessons on the wheel in New York and her costume has created a sensation At her fifth she had on a bright pink cotton walst, which an admirer said melted into her compiexion; a perfectly plain white sailor hat, tan sho:s aud low leggings reaching to the knees, Her dressmaker either made a un a jacket or loose A summer mistake and cul the skirt shorter behind than before, or else It was the wearer's habit of standing erect and well forward on the balls of her feet that made It kick up in the back, but kick up it did in the most pert and coquettish manner, Nothing could be more cowardly or dose pleable than for a wheelman or a driver to run down a man, woman or child, and then ride or drive away without stopping to even Investigate the damage done. Several cases of this kind have occurred lately, and they reflect discredit on bieyclists as a body. A rider who acts n this cowardly manner deserves to be hunted down and punished.

Oft fr (he Moantatna, This evening foot ball team of the University club of Omaha starts on Its wests ern tour to Butte City, Mont.,, where they play a game with Butte boys on the Fourth of July. The Omaha team s composed of the same men that went to Butte Thanksgiving day tho colors of the Young Men's Christian assoclation and defeated the Butte toam 46 to 4. Butte has strengthencd its team very mas terially since the visit of the Omaha team, defeating Salt Lake City 62 to 0 Decoration day and winning from all the other teams in that section this spring and they hope to square themselves for thelr Waterloo last Thanksgiving. The Omaha team, under the management of Mr. C. L. Thomas, is composel of the best foot ball players in these diggings, and while it has been too hot to practice mugh in Omaha this spring, they have trainea hard and will try to sustain the enviable reputa. tion which they hold fn the mountaius. The Butte management has been to great expense for this game, as they had to pay out $1,000 for improvements on their grounds and $1,200 for the expenses of the Omaha toatn, The popularity of the coming game Is demonstrated when it {s made known that tho State Bicycle tournament, which is to be held in Butte on that day, has been forced to throw open its gates and alvertise a show free to all and then it Is doubtful if they will have anyone at the races, because every one Is going to the foot ball game. The following men will leave in their prls vate car from the Burliugton depot at 4:38 o'clock this evening: Gordon Clarke, Otis Whipple, Harry Oury, William Wilson, Lawrence Lee, Harry Fuller, Norton Ayres Clinton Spooner, Willlam Jardner, Frank Lehmer, Billy = Hayward, Tom Korl, Robert Wilsey, Tom Parmelee and Charles Thomas. under Tho Switchmen's I Raco Today. The bleycle road race, starting from Twentieth and Cuming strects at 11:30 a. m, today to pienic grounds at Coffman promises to be well attended. The mect at Kearney on the Fourth of July will take many of the more experienced wheelmen out of town, and for this reason many of them will not care to enter the race to the Switchmen’s picnie today. There is a great advantage in this to the younger and less experienced riders and it is expected they will turn out in foree. Ten prizes. which have been on exhibition in Hayden Brothers' Sixtcenth street win- dows for the past two weeks, will be given to the winners. ~Tickets, necessary to enter the race are only $1, and those who have not availed themszIves of the opportunily to pro- cure them heretofore can do so at the start- ing polnt from members of the Switchmen's union, several of whom will be at the place. All amateur wheclmen may enter. Take your wheel and go up. There are a number of games and amusements provided for at the grounds and those who are not prize-winners in the road race will yet feel that their money has been woll spent. The A. 0. U. W. band will be in attendance and a roy= al good time is in store for all.
