THE BICYCLE TOURNAMENT.


 Some of The Professionals and Premi- nent Amateurs Who Will Take Part.
 The bicycle tournament in Hartford in September promises to be one well worth witnessing. Among the prominent racing men who will take part, and most of whom will reach Charter Oak Park next week, are: Fred Russ Cook of San Francisco, Cal; Celo Stone of St. Louis, winner of the great hun dred mile race in Canada last month; Will liam A. Rour of Lynn, H. U. .Gaskell of Boston, H. D. Cory of Boston, A. B. Rich of the Kings County Wheelman, w. A. Illston of England, who is expected either Saturday or Sunday; George Weber of Smithville, N. J.; E. F. Burnham of Newton, Mass; and nu- merous other noted flyers. Quarters have been engaged for these men in the houses near the park With good day and track the old record of 2:39 made year ago by the English champion, s. Sellers, on the same track, will very likely be broken, and there is reason to hope by our own countrymen.
 The "prof." races and racing men will not be behind the amateurs with such men as John S. Prince, w. J. Morgan, 0. A. Fra zier and Asa Dolph to represent America and Richard Howell, Robert James, John Keen and Fred Wood to represent our English brethren.

For the benefit of suffering humanity I deem it only my duty to give this unsolicited testimony in favor of Swifts Specific My wife has been afffict- ed with Eczema from infancy We tried every known remedy but to no avail She was also af- ficted with periodical nervous headache, some times followed by an intermittent fever, that her life became a burden to her Finally determined to try Swifts Specific. She commenced seven weeks ago After taking the first large bottle the disease seemed to increase; the burning itching and inflammation became unbearable She however, persevered in the use of the medicine: After tak- ing the second bottle the inflammation began to subSide. After the third bottle the inflammation disappeared, and sore spots dried up and turned white and scaly, and finally she brushed them off in mpalpable white powder resembling pure salt. She is now taking the sixth bottle; every appear ance of the disease is gone and her flesh is soft and white a chds. Her headaches have disappear ed and she enjoys the only good health she has known in 40 years No wonder she deems every bottle of s: S. s. is worth thousand times it's weight in gold.
 Any further information concerning her case will be cheerfuly given by herself at her residence, 13a Muett street. by me.

RecOlleeti0ns of the Ill.Fated Aero
 naut.
 In a conversation with Mir. D. s. Thomas at his printing office on Chapel street yester. day, that gentleman spoke in the highest terms of the late F. A. Gower, formerly ot this city, who lost his life in or near the British Channel July F. Said MT. Thomas ''I have remembered young Gower ever since he made his first balloon ascension with Pro- lessor Donaldson and myself at Providence R. l., in 1875. At his particular request Professor Donaldson put out ballast until we reached great altitude, and the Atlantic coast was plainly seen. We landed just be fore dark in Taunton, Mass. During the trip MT. Gower studied carefully every de tail of the working of the air ship, learning more in three hours than many would learn in weeks. A year or two later met him in Paris. Ballooning was still favorite topic with him. I hardly think the idea of throw ing any destructive agent from balloon had occurred to him at this time, but the prac ticability of crossing the British Channel in Q balloon was frequently alluded to. Making the ascension from Cherbourg in broad day light, it would seem that if he came down in the water assistance might have been render ed, as it would be difficult to find an hour in the day when several sails are not in sight along that coast. Certainly the disaster is not due to any ignorance or carelessness on the part of the aeronaut, for he was a man of an unusually cool head and careful and systematic action"
