1t is curious to note in passing, that those
who were unearthed by winning the races
of 1887 and 1888, united forces in 1889 and
made tandem records for the world.
A handicap contest with generous time
limit, the race may be won by men whose
regulations may never become more than
local; yet, having each year for one of its
prizes a valuable medal for the 'best timen
it is always certain of including among it's
en- tries a number of men whose reputation
is national. To the cycling world-even to
the close reader of the daily papers-it is
but necessary to name as certain partici-
pants such men as Van Sicklen, the "Old
War Horse, - who can do.-his mile under
2 :35; Thorne the "King of Safety Riders, u
who, when out of training, can cover his
mile in well under 2 40; Barrett, who has
made mile in 2 "a Spooner, who holds the
hundred mile championship; Tuttle, Fan
ming, VIM, Citizens and others of the same
class. Each year finds these men at the
starting point, and the race therefore be-
comes battle of cycling giants, a contest
which is duplicated only when the League
of American Wheelmeu has aggregated its
talent for the championship series.
1.-The race is not arranged or intended for
the special benefit of those whose breasts
and stomachs are beplastered with trophies
of victory said its promoter, recently,
ssbut more in the interest of the great BODY
young and ambitious riders. Should it be
productive of nothing else but the discovery
of young flyer each year the work and
time on it would be amply rewarded
As before stated, the Pullman road race is
an accident. Some time in November, 1886
a number of the members of the Chicago
Bicycle club began casting about for some
form of amusement for Decoration day

s'hare and hound'' chase should have beer
decided on as proper means of arousin.
an appetite for savory turkey and juic,
m,nce pie. Strange or not, the result of tn
talk was the issuance of an invitation to tn
wheelmen of Chicago to join in such a chase
the course to be from the Leland, In til
heart of the city, to the Hotel Florence il
Pullman.

Pullman.

White, the surveyor, has never leveled
his transit over the turns and twists to the
road to the city of cars, cyclometer- bearing
wheels innumerable have traversed it.
These have indicated distance of a trife
over 143I miles. The first seven miles are
macadamized boulevard, over which the
highest speed can be obtained.
Then comes three miles of ordinary coun-
try road, which is generally in fair condi-
ton after rain. The next three and a half
miles, including the ''potato patchr and the
sand hill,n ever which no wheelman has
ever ridden, are rough and uneven aud tine
scenes of many memorable spills" The
remaining one and one-quarter miles are
through the town of Pullman, with excel
lent road bed, but many annoying right
angle turns.
Tere were no prizes in the share and
hound" chase referred to; the love of speed
ing, friendly rivalry and little glory be-
ing the only incentive to urge the riders on
to victory. The ''hares' were Crennan and
Kluge, of the Chicago club, Davis and Bow

Owls Among the "hounds," of whom
there are twenty-five, were such we'll

The Assayers' Protest.

The Assayers' Protest.
To the Editor of the HERALD:
We see by this mornings issue of the
daily papers that the assayers' petition for
remission of license has been refused and
that Mr.. James states as his reason for
voting against it that if an assayer cannot
afford to pay this small amount he ought to
go out of business which argument, if it
means anything, means that if man is 80
poor that he can't even pay his license in
advance even the right to work at his trade
shall be taken away from him and he must
become pauper and be maintained at the
public expense.
There may be good reasons why assayers
should pay license, but Mr.. James reason
is absurd, and certainly applies as much to
physicians, lawyers, architects, black
I smiths, etc, and even to city councilman,
as to assayers.
Mr.. Parsons favors the license on the
ground that it is a protection against dis
honest assayers. We do not see it in that
light, as any man who comes here can, and
rightly too, start in as an assayer and it
would probably bother the city council un-
commonly to either refuse or take away a
| license on the ground that it considered the
man dishonest.
| What really would be a protection tc
miners and assayers would be that the in
tending assayer should be forced to pass an
examination to show his competence as il
the case of doctors and lawyers.
What we protest against is the discrimi-
nation shown in forcing US to pay license
while other professions and handicrafts are
allowed to pursue their callings without do
ing so. w. A. HoI GEs

] IL, which, at that time. was considered
very creditable performance.
Among those who witnessed the start and
finish OF this chase was Mr.. Robert u. Gar
den, an enthusiast in wheeling matters.
The chase suggested to him the idea of get
ting up handicap race over the same
course and under such conditions as would
make 1t popular with wheelmen of all grades
of speed. The result was the selection OF
decoration day as the time of the race. Mr..
Garden went to work with will and, oW-
ing to his popularity among the men in his
line OF business and his unbounded enthusl-
asm, built up, by voluntry subscription, a
respectable prize list, aggregating some
twenty articles of cycling paraphernilla and
money value of 800.
Thirty-four men, out of total of forty
one who entered for the race, came to the
starting point May 80, 1887. The time limit
was Is minutes. n. H. Van Sicklen started
at scratch with Robert Ehlert, who refused
small handicap. The winner turned up in
H. r. Winship, who started from the $50
mark and covered the distance in :02 30,
which was the fastesu time of the day, thus
capturing not only the first prize, valued at
Sl4O, but also the $40 medal offered for "best
time" H. l.. Wheeler the limit man, fin
lshed in :l5:32. Van Sicklen dropped out
early in the race. Ehlert finished twentl

In 1888, the entries numbered sixty-six, oil

disappointed. Winship again captured the
time medal, making the phenomenal record
of 53 20. Van Sicklen finished five seconds
behind. The winner Of the first prize was
Arthur E. Lumsdeu. He entered the race
comparatively unknown and was granted a
handicap of Ii minutes. His running time
was AT 1t was his maiden effort, but the
remarkable time he made gave promise of
greater performances. Those who thus
prophesied have not been disappointed, for
since that time his star has been steadily in
the ascendency, and his racing career an
uubroken line of brilliant successes. To
day, notwithstanding some defeats OF the
last year. in the Judgment of most impartial
Wheelmen, he stands the fastest amateur in
America.

curious and significant incident. w. A.

Loan Companies Coming In.

At least dozen new agencies for eastern
investment and loan companies have been
established in this city during the last six
weeks, and the inflow Of outside capital is

are as active, and there has been little if
any complaint heard during the last fort

effect on business, and has established con-
tidence in the local banks which will now
be justified in letting out the their big re-

that within sixty days there will be all the

friends, the Peorian finished far ahead.
Lumsden, of course, captured the time
medal. Thorne, Citizens Myers, Winship,
Ehlert and Barrett finishing in order be-
hind him. The best time this year was
$685. The first man to finish was Charles
Knisely, of the Illinois club. The prize list
contained thirty-three prizes aggregated a
money value of 81, 800, the greatest amount
ever offered for an amateur race in this
country or probably any other.
Already the question is being asked
"Who is to win this year?' That there
will be the greatest struggle ever made on
the course there can be no doubt. Intense
rivalry exists among the numerous clubs of
the city and the Pullman race is its incen-
tive. So far, the Chicago Cycling club has
had the best of it, having won the time
medal on every occasion and the race with
two exceptions. 1t is estimated that this
year over two hundred will enter and $50
start. WILL b. HUNTER.
