A CARD FROM r. p ZONES.

Z a
called Wild Colbroth called me down last
Monday on 500 bet, naming his horse.
j put up the amount and notified the stake
holder that any time that day would do for
ColbrOth TO materialize. He turned MP late
Monday night and ordered the stakeholder
to pay ME the forfeit Of $40, stating he
could not raise the 500, but could in the
morning. l told the stakeholder 10 be lib
eral with him and give him until the next
night also stated would bar no horse
in the city. ColbrOth. who is more noted
for mouth than money, did not raise the
amount. and Wednesday night took my
stake money, considering that three days
wasilOng enough TO wait or talk. Now, then.
have entered my horse at the st. Paul
races. and il Wild Bill or any other man
starts against him o. K. If he has any
money for side bets l think he can be &C
commodated. T. 4. JONES.
'cYcLING NOTES.
Eek begins to think he has a mascot. He
/ has brought out or trained many OF the
| greatest sporting men OF the day. be
brought Gus Olmstead out. and put him in
the six-day pedestrian race, and Olmstead
made the twelve-hour record in that race of
sixiy-six and three-quarter miles. He
found Johnny Dobler in Chicago packing
| house. and DObler afterwards made the
worlds siX-day pedestrian record at Buff
falo. He trained Louise Armaindo when she
won the six-day bicycle championship. and
also trained John 5. Prince when he won
the fastest fifty miles. trained Dick Hale,
who won the O'Leary medal in twenty
five-mile championship race in Chicago.
He brought out w. j. Morgan, the 'cyclist
who won first place in a six-day race in
| Memphis, and second place in two Chicago
races, beating Woodside. and Eek trained
Schock in the race that ended Saturday
night.
The Pope Manufacturing company, who
offered an $50 gold watch to Woodside
upon the condition that he should ride q
Columbia machine, cover 900 miles aud win
the race, is now expected to present the
trophy to Schock, who rode Columbia
won the race and made the distance. Min
neapolis people and the various cyclists
have expressed the opinion that the watch
justly belongs to SchOck. 1t was with that
end in view that Eek was particular in hav-
| ing SchOck ride Columbia wheel.
Schock will leave for his home in Chi
cago on Wednesday TO rest up after his
gigantic work. He felt surprisingly fresh
yesterday and took a good long walk about
town for exercise. He is matched in a
thirry-hour heel-and-tOe pedestrian contest
with Nels Qualey. the champion twenty
siX-hour pedestrian of Wisconsin. The
race will come off in Stoughton, Wis, in
about three weeks.
Mile. Armaindo will start in a twenty
six hour bicycle race against time at the
| Washington rink soon. but the date has
not been fixed. She will endeavor to break
WOodsde's champion record. 1t is not i'm
probable that Schock will return and ride
as peacemaker for her. She feels perfect
confidence in her ability to lower the record.
and many bets will doubtless be made.
Eek will keep i'm training ready for any
event or opportunity that may be pre-
scented TO him. He does not claim to be a
long distance rider, but will go against any
man for a distance of fifty miles or under.
He will visit st. Paul to-day TO endeayOr to
arrange some races there, and will probably
meet with success.
oscar. the tailor" is to present Schock
with fine suit of clothes as a compliment
for winning the American championship.
and there is no doubt that the clothes viii
be the best that Oscar can turn out
Hardwick was feeling better yesterday,
and should he enter i'm another contest, hi:
friends believe he would make much bet
ter showing. He leaves for Kansas City in
few days.
A sporting man estimates the wager:
made on the six-day race at 81, 600. in the
aggregate, and he probably does not under
rate the amount, because many people
wagered hundred dollars.
Eek will have a new light racer in few
days. Whitaker of st. Louis, who is now in
b oston, will bring it home with him.
Snyder will remain in the city for few
days looking over the town, and he will at
tend the carnival in ST. Paul.
Woodside intends to go to New York t.
arrange for a six days race there-bicyclt
against horses.
Wallace, the trainer, expects to remain
in the city.
