WHEELING NEWS.

One of the promising bicyclists at HaF.
ward is g. F. Taylor. of 1894, who can do
his two mics in few seconds over 6 min
utes.
The eastern wheelmen consider the Ir-
yington Milbarn road race the great con-
test Of the year of that character in Amer
lea. while the western riders all say that
the Pullman road race is the banner event.
In view of the fact that the Pullman had
1871 starters and gave s., 200 worth of prizes,
as against the Irvington-Milburn's 60 start
ers and 5000 worth of prizes, the western
men would seem to have the bes. of the
argument.
Terry Andre, the Wisconsin bicyclist, is
one of the most promising riders in the
west. He won the time prize for solid and
cushion tires in the Pullman road race.
James T. Powers, the comedian, is max
ing determined effort, to become bicy-
clist.

genius tried to popularize cycling by Civ
ing away Il cemetery lot with each wheel

didn't work.

flyer, believes that there are three men in

Chauncey NJ Depew, or at least so the
story runs, who exclaimed that he would

From an old photograph. the only one extant.l
Of the present generation to understand the
place that Edwin Forrest held in the hearts
and minds of Americans In lS4S he was
at the height of his fame, and the president
himself was scarcely more talked Of. His
personality ruled the stage, and he was IA
recognized power in social and political
life His popularity caused riot in New
York to be directed against Macready, his
rival, which was accompanied by consider
able loss of life, and which will always be
an important episode in American history.
And yet he was a man of unpleasant
temperament. His abuse of those beneath
him in his profession is proverbial among
actors. It was this which caused the first
trouble between him and his wife. She
demonstrated with him and angered him.
Afterward he charged her with violating
her marriage vows, and began one of the
most sensational divorce suits on record in
America. 1t was tried before the Pennsyl-
vania legislature. Charles OiConor de-
Tended the wife, and his reputation be-
came worldwide through his splendid eff
forts in her behalf. The suit was the all
absorbing topic of the newspapers and of
conversation. All America and a good
part of Europe discussed it.
Mrs Forrest was acquitted of the charge.
She brought a cross suit, her plea was
granted and she was awarded $1,000 year
alimony. Forrest appealed the case, but
was defeated and the alimony increased to
$4,000
She afterward went on the stage herself,
but won only Indifferent success. For
many years before her death she lived
in absolute retirement, being known by
her maiden name. There were probably
not a dozen people in New York at the
time of her death who were aware that
Mrs Sinclair, the pleasant faced, gray
haired old lady, who died on Eighty-fourth
street, was the widow of one of the worlds
greatest actors and the heroine of one of
its most sensational trials at law. She
was seventy-four years old.

Robert Bonner and His Famous Roadsters.

Robert Bonner and His Famous Noadsters-
Robert Bonner, who set the fashion for
buying notably fast trotters at long prices,
has always refrained from taking part in a
contest between horses, or even against
time for a money consideration. No other
man has owned as many famous perform
ers as Mr.. Bonner, or paid as much for the
pleasure of driving speedy roadster. He
had several remarkably good horses before
ne purchased Dexter, in 1867, ON the very
day that the white faced gelding lowered
the trotting record to 2:17ll ut Buffalo, but
the price, S3S 600. was unprecedented, and
the possession of the king of the tart gave
Mr. Bonner more extended reputation as
a horseman than he had before possessed.
Since then he has been always a liberal
buyer, and excepting Goldsmith Maid and
st. Julien, has secured every champion
trotter that has yet appeared
