BICYCLE NOTES..
in double

H. L. Laurie, the celebrated English
safety bicycle record breaker, is making 8
short visit in America. He says he con-
siders the time made in road races in
America, in proportion to the condition of
the roads, is considerably better than is &C
complished in England in the same line.
The New York state bicycle meet a.
Syracuse on Sept. l and 2 will, according
to the committee having it in charge, be
the biggest athletic event yet held in that
city. The Syracuse cup, to be presented
to the largest visiting uniformed league
club attending the meet, is an unusually
beautiful trophy, and the minor prizes for
the various races are as handsome in pro-
portion.
Charles B. Nelson, the 19-year-old tour
list from Chicago, who made the distance
from his home to New York in fourteen
days, breaking the best record by over
three days, will start in to break the record
from New York to San Francisco as soon
as he is fully rested from the effects of his
last trip. In his ride from Chicago he
averaged over seventy-ive miles per dag.

An Incident of Ocean Travel.

No words can describe the awful same
ness of the briny deep in calm weather.
Far as the eye can see extends the un-
varying blue green waste; every little
wave looks just like every other. One
day there rose on the northern horizon,
coming into full view in a few minutes af-
ter it wa sighted, and apparently aiming
exactly at us, a large ship with every sail
set, and gliding like a great white bird
over the sea. 1t was a magnificent sight.
Nearer and nearer it came; the two YES
sells on the same line seemed about to COL
Tide at their bows, and all the passengers
were filled with curiosity and delight at SO
inspiring a spectacle. One minute l was
positive the sailing vessel would strike us
amidships; the mex it passed just a~stern,
and every passenger yelled and waved and
yelled again, but elected no response. On
the entire deck but one man could be seen,
and he did not even turn his face toward
us that 1 could see. He was probably too
busy at the rudder. In five minutes the
beautiful sailer was like a great white
cliff glowing afar in the last rays of the
sun; in ten more she was hull down on the
southwestern horizon, n soon her tallest
masts disappeared rs if sinking into the
sea. She was a godsend to us. We return
ed to the smoking room with a renewed
appetite for hilarity.

JOAN
is only 20 years old, but plays like a vet
eran and shows great improvement over
his work of last season.
He first began playing in tournaments
in 1856, when he won the doubles in the
New York open tournament with G. P.
MacMullcn as partner in the club doubles.
In 1851 he did not play much tennis, enter
ing only two tournaments, and only win
ming the singles in the New York open
tournament.
N. j., and the doubles also, with A. w.
Island Athletic club tournaments with
