BICYCLE NOTES.

The solid tire is fast becoming obsolete
on English race tracks. SO general has
the pneumatic's use become that by next
year the solid will be a curiosity II ridden
at all in races
Montagu A. Holbeiu. the English road
rider and champion for twenty-four hours
ride, is IA great believer in walking, often
covering as mush as thirty miles on foot,
and finishing with sixty miles awheel.
The annual election Of the New York
Bicycle club placed the following members
In offices President, + w. Kitohing; vice
president Frank |. Stott; secretary, w. f.
Findley; treasurer, f. j.. Shrtver; captain,

The pneumatic being still an uncertain
mount in some respects, the cushion is re-
ceivinE more than usual attention. W. +.
Murphy, who has been riding a cushion
ordinary, speaks very highly of It, while
Gerwing, Of Denver, thinks It will in a
measure re-establish the ordinary as a
racing favorite. Murphy won on both a
pneumatic safety and a cushion ordinary
at the Berkeley games, so that his opinion
is the more valuable.

$33,5O0 by Foxhall Keene indicates. A
third much Wanted flyer from the west is
Teuton. He, too, did not run in the
Brooklyn, as he was said to be out of CON
dition. Unless he improves greatly he
will not be a dangerous Suburban candi-
miles-l:52&. Three other horses that took
second, third and fourth in the Brooklyn
Prince Royal, Tea Tray and Banquet-are
we'll up among the small list of Suburban
favorites. The fact that Prince Royal
is to carry five more pounds than he did
in the Brooklyn should make Tea Tray a
much more formidable opponent.
Prince Royal is by Observation-Disclosures,
and was bred by August Belmont. He is
6 years old. As a +year-old he ran second
to Exile in the Brooklyn, and was pur-
chased by Phil Dwyer at the Belmont sale
for $500. Prince Royal holds the worlds
recor for l l-l6 miles-1:46X.
Te' Tray, another 6 year-old, is by Rayon
dhOl -EllaT. He has been owned by w. l.
Scott and Dwyer Bros, but at present be-
longs to William Lakeland. Tea Tray has
a temper, and is somewhat unreliable, but
Lakeland has been very successful with
him. Banquet is Tea Trays full brother,
and runs under Mike Dryers colors. Ban
quet defeated Tournament as a 3-year
old, and broke the running record for IL
miles, covering the distance in 2:O394, and
thus eclipsing Salvator's 4-year-old record
for that distance-2:O5. Banquet is now a
4year-old, and carries two more pounds
than he did when he broke the record.

Cream City in the National league in 1877.
He WAS again with the same team in 1873,
and led the League in batting, In the fol
lowing year he signed a Chicago contract,
and he remained with that team till 1886, in
which year he Joined the P~ittsburgs.
In 1855 he transferred his services to the
Denver club, Of the Western association.
Last year he signed a Milwaukee contract,
and proved a vsluable acquisition to the
Cream City club. He is a hard batter n
an excellent fielder. His wide expert
ence makes him IN excellent coach, n
his presence always infuses confidence in
the younger members of the team. Dial
rymple was last year at the head of the
list Of the Western association batters.
The following were his averages: Number

The greatest achievement in pisciculture
in the past twenty years must be placed to
the credit Of Monroe A Green, superin-
tendent Of the New York state fish hatch
cry at Caledonia. Three or four years ago
it was determined to try the experiment OF
p~ropagating muskAllonge in the great
muskallonge lake Of America, Chautau-
qua. For two years the experiments were
conducted on the same principle Of propa-
cation of other species OF fish which had
met with unbounded success and placed
Mr.. Green at the head of pisciculturists.
The same manipulation in taking the eggs
and milt was used as with other fish the
first year, but the Matching of muskallonge
was a failure.
TIL second year was a failure also, but
Mr.. Green and his aid were convinced that
the failure could be attributed to the meth
DDS used in Matching. The state appropria-
tioa having been exhausted, residents of
jamestown and other places on the lake
raised a sufficient fund to enable Mr.. Green
to continue the experiment this year, and
he did so with the aid Of a resident p~iscicult-
urist. 1t was noticed last year that a box
Of eggs placed six or eight feet under water,
and yet suspended two or three feet from
the bottom Of the lake, yielded a larger
percentage Of fry than by the old method
viz, placed the eggs on sleeves in tiers in a
box, and the water permitted to flow over
them. 1t was also noticed that the tenn.
perature OF the water in the lake at the
depth above mentioned did not vary more
than 5 degs., a less variation than ever be.
fore noticed elsewhere except in the waters
of Spring creek, at the Caledonia hatchery.
The motion of the water at the depth OF
eight feet is sufficient to gently undulAte
the box containing the eggs. Therefore II

Judging from the result of the Brooklyn
Handicap there is but one answer If the
best horse wins, and that answer is Ten
n.y." With Salvador out of the way, the
little swayback" is easily the king of run
ming horses on the American turf. But
there are several contingencies upon which
Tenny's chances depend. He may sulk;
that foot which recently gave a great many
people with plunging aspirations more ex-
perience and less money may break down,
and Pulsifer may keep him in the stable
when the day comes. ConcedinR, for the
sake of speculation. that Tenny may not
win, let us look at the other promising can
didates. According to recent odds, the
mare Firenzi is first choice after Tenny.
She carries a light weight, and on a good
track would make the field hustle. She
holds the worlds record for ~ miles-2:23.
Firenzi, too, is one OF three formidable
cracks that Tenny did not meet in the
Brooklyn Handicap. She is reported to be
In first class condition, and with 1913
pounds up will bear watching. Tourna-

not met this year. He carries 126 pounds

In passing from the list OF probable win
ners l will conclude by mentioning two
others, Raceland and Potomac. R~aceland
won the suburban in 1889, and is conse-
quently to be respected. Potomac is a
