President Dick Mccormick was as un-
ruffled yesterday morning as Cut-Of lake,
and although he had just finished u long
article in the Chicago Tribune on the
br~otherhpod's victory over the national
league in the Ward case, he was in splendid
spirits and eager to talk.

How Lad rs Mount.


Writing recently In Bicycling News, Violet
Lorne says:
ut was only lately that 1 discovered how
many women are accustomed to mount their
tricycles-the rear mount, / mean, of course
on the left-hand side of their saddles in
stead of on the right. The latter certainly
Is so much the most convenient that / can
hardly understand any one adopting the
other method. To get up from the left makes
it Impossible TO hold down the brake prop
erly, unless by a very awkward stretch for
ward, and the sideways slip into the saddle,
which seems inevitable with the left-handed
mount, is neither graceful nor comfortable.
In mounting from the right side the left
hand rests on the saddle. while the right
holds the brake and handle bar, the left foot
is then stretched forward till it finds the
left foot.rest and the rider slips backward
into the saddle. This method, / venture 10

rangement OF the dress draperies a far easier
and more successful thing than any other

mounting most women justly prefer TO turn

through the gap thus afforded.n

are not enforced, and I can conceive of no
Way so efficaclous as through well
paid game wardens. The tax on
the gun might in time defray this expendi-
ture. The Nebraska game laws, have some
good features and many bad ones. The
clause regulating the chicken season should
be amended without fail at the next session
OF the legislature, or a few more years will
witness the determination of this splendid
game bird. The season should be shortened
and the law then vigorously enforced. And
this can only be accomplished through the
instrumentality of efficient and conscientious
game war0ens, men posted and interested in
the welfare of our game. Again, no more
time should be lost in the passage of an act
prescribing the wild fowl season. They have
no protection now-and while the prohipi-
tion of spring shooting Is dlstasteful to
ardous sportsmen, 1t must come sooner or
go the way OF the wild pigeon.
Already there Is q frightfully per-
ceptible decrease in the spring and fall flights
of these glorious birds, ana where formerly
from sixty TO 100 was considered a fair days
kill, at present it is an almost impossible
task to bring to bag n fifth of the. maximum
number. Year after year the shooting has
been growing poorer, and the lakes and
swamps and bayous that used to swarm with
canvas>back, redhead. mailard, teal and wild
geon, are now the habitaJ only of the mud
hen and the dipper. l would not advocate
the establishment Of spring shooting,
though, unless concerted action could be
agreed upon with the states of Dakota, Min
n%esota, Iowa aud Kansas, for to prohibit in
Nebraska alone would only be to
fatten the game bags of the
shooters within our adjacent states.
Ducking is, in my opinion, the grandest,
the most exhilarating, health giving and en-
loyable sport to be had with the gun, and |
lament the outlook, for Its continuance is so
very discouraging. Deer hunting, chicken,
quail or snlpe shooting cannot be compared
with a day III the sloughs, behind u GOOD
bind and over a stool of decoys. From
what i learn of you, Mr.. Editor, in reading
Of your generally correct views on all mat
tiers pertaining to the gun and your occa-
sional admirable sketches of hunting ex-
periences, | know YOU must be an old
devotee, a man fond of outdoor life, who APP
preciates nature in all her moods, and who
has enjoyed many u day in the woods and
field, on lake and stream, and the work you
have cut out for yourself is more than appre'
ciated by scores and seqres of your readers,
who would willingly cooperate with you
were they in q positioa 70 do so.

The American Cycling Misses.

Inc american cycling Misses.
The team OF American women cyclers
have not finished up with the Englishmen
yet, 1t would appear, as the following from
an English exchange shows:
AT the Artillery drill hall, Sheffield, a
twenty hours contest between Misses Jessie
Wood, Lottie Stanley, Louisa Armaindo,
May Allen and Lille Williams, members of
the American team, was held during the
past week. Commencing on Christmas
Eve, racing was continued afternoon and
evening, the final being held on Saturday.
DESPITE many attractions in the town and
the fact that there had scarcely been time
for advertising the meeting, very fair houses
were secured during the week. The audi
ence took the keenest interest in the racing,
whilst many who had expected simply a pro-
cession were astounded at the determined
manner in which the fair riders rode and
skillfully managed their wheels. The hall,
though a very large one only gave a track of
twelve laps to the mile. During the contest
several members were not IN their usual
form not having recovered from the effects
or a serious splll in the North; in
fact, Miss Armaindo had not left her room
more than three days ere cling, but
they pluckily rode though at a disadvantage,
on Saturday. Miss Wood, who was four
miles behind the leader, rode in magnificent
style, but she was unable to reduce 1t more
than seven laps, AT the conclusion of the
racing the contestants were loudly cheered,
the spectators enthusiasm being intense.
As an example of the speed. Miss Wood rode
tnirty-four miles in Two hours ana ten min
utes, and this on a fiat and very small track.
The score was approximately as follows
Miss Stanley, 3O4 miles; Miss Allen, 3O2
Miss Wood, 300; Miss Williams. 264; Miss
Armaindo, 236 the two last retii ing. The
first evening the latter's wheel gave way, but

The Gun. clubs on Their Mertle.

The gun clubs OF this city are in q state of
lauguishment, and vigorous action is neces-
sary to rehabIlitate and place them upon a
solid foundation again. The two leading
clubs-the Omaha and the Lefevre-have
decided TO take decisive steps at their regu-
lar monthly meeting ip February. and among
other things will pass, a resolution providing
for the dropping OF all members who fail TO
manifest u reasonable interest In the affairs
of the club. After the big Parmalee,Dun
mire tournament In April, shooters are an
ticipating a general revival of interest in
trap shooting, and the coming season will
undoubtedly be a busy one.

Two Sensible PLAYERS.

Joe Walsh and Elmer Cleveland rarely
leave their respective places of business, and
are both keeping themselves in fine condi.
tion for the opening of the season. In COP
versation with Joe the other day he said:
at looks as if The fight the coming season
was going to be a hot ore. l think, however,
that it will be confined to four teams
Omaha, Kansas City, Minneapolis and Mil
waukee. Sioux City, however, Is very strong
and may prove troublesome. So far Des
MONIES. st. Paul and Denver are showing up
in poor form. but they all claim that by the
time the season opens they will be able to
make the best of us hustle. honestly believe,
though, that Omaha will win the pennant,
because ! think IL Is the best team, not even
excepting the Cowboys. Clarke and Tanning
ought to do great work in the box. Bolh are
great twirlers, and both are ambitious to
distinguish themselves. In all the other po-
s%itiOns, save at second, we are very strong"
what is your idea of spring trainingl"
well, in my estimation, the playing of
take much stock in gymnasium work, be-
cause IT only brings into play certain
muscles and does not condition n man like
activity on the field. Handball is good tram
ing, and ia time will be recognized as all that
is necessary Tor winter work. / would urge
Manager Leonard TO make all the practice
dates for April that he can. A dozen OF

Work for the Coming Meeting.

There IS one matter that should be at
tended to at the coming schedule meeting of
the Western association, and that is, that
Kansas City be given representation on
some of the important committees. AS they
stand now she has no representation at all,
the committees having been appointed be-
fore she joined the association. hut she is
here now, and here TO stay, and being one of
the largest, most enterprising and prominent
cities IN the circuit, she certainly should
have a voice in the conduct Of the assocla-
TONS business affairs. Another argument
that urges the recognition of the city on the
Kaw is that she has several gentlemen down
there who are of inestimable credit to the
profession, and the counsels ana advice OF
such level. headed men as President Speas
and Mr.. Kranthoff would result IN untold
advantage to the association. They are
both men of a national reputation in affairs
of the diamond, and the quicker they are
placed in positions Of prominence and i'm
portance the better it viii he Tor the whole
organization.

would not cost II great deal to put q Hastings

would be necessary. Here Is a good chance
to secure for the city some good ball games

Sheep Shearing Festival.

At Salem May Sd.
Last Saturday morning was one of the
warmest and most pleasant of the season,
and members of the Association congratu-
lated each other on having so fine day for
the festival, but the promise of the morning
was not realized. About halfpast ten
o'clock, just as shearing was commenced,
one of those Mackinaw waves that nave
heen SO common lately, swept down on US
and the rest Of the day was cold and dis
agreeable. Forty three sheep were entered
for exhibition and several of our old sheep
raisers remarked that they had never seen
a finer lot of sheep shown in the county
Every sheep on the ground had fleece
that for length OF staple would entitle it to
be classed as Delaine.
Mr. Spiegelhoff had Merino eve, mot
sheared the wool of which measured four
and one fourth inches. Mr. Schilz's sheep
not only sheared the heaviest fleece, 81
lbs) but the fleece constituted the largest
per cent. of the weight of the sheep of any
shorn. There was large attendance
throughout the day. Among those present
were D. C. Stewart, who has handled more
sheep and wool than any other man in the
county; Clapp Miner, who has made a
speciality of wool growing for fifty years,
and whose assets furnish indisputable proof
that there is money in the business; Philo

are now or have been owners of good
focks. But some of them became infatuated
with the Jersey" and sold out, but now
express desire to return to their first love
as soon as they can make the change.
