New YORK. February 1.-The Racing
Board of the League Of American
Wheelmen has declared A. A. thinner
man a professional for accepting re-
muneration for either training expenses
or attending meet.
The expulsion has been expected In
certain quarters for some time, or since
the matter relative TO the Worcester
deal became known. It's thought that
his acceptance Of S25 from the WorceS-
ter people for attending meet Is the
cause.
BY Zimmerman's expulsion the coun-
try loses one Of its feetest amateur oi-
cycle riders. No one rider captured as
many events or trophies during the past
racing season as did Arthur A. thinner
man. lie is credited with having won
fully So, 900 worth Of prizes in 1891, and
no single rider was as prominent, save
Willie Windle.
1t is not probable that the New York
Athletic Club will send racing team to
England this season, now that thinner
man is a professional, as he was to have
been the king pin of the team. His re-
tirement leaves Willie Windle the I'M
disputed amateur champion OF the

BUFFERS CRITICISM
OF ADMIRAL PORTER ANSWERED BY THE
ADNIRAL'S SON.
M. Porte, Scores Butler for His Attack Upon His
Faihsr-A Book On Portsr's Life Now in
Prsparahon-No Further Reference to the
Matter VIII be Made by POrters Family.

BALTIMORE, February 1.-Mr, David
Essex Porter, son OF the late Admiral
Porter, who was seen IN Baltimore by
representative OF the Baltimore sun,
was questioned In reference - the
statements aud criticisms made OF his
father in Gen. Benjamin Buffers book.
Mr., Porter said:
in his book OF the war, my fisher
did not hesitate 70 criticise Butler and
give his estimate of the man In free
language. In regard 10 that portion
Of the book in which Butler allutes 10
the 'untruthful and yilIainouS'
statements Of the late Admiral Porter
concerning the capture aud surrender
OF Forts st. Phillip AMI Jackson below
New Orleans, and also imputing coWad-
dice to my father, I have only to say
that during the war my father receiver
four votes OF thanks from Congress for
conspicuous conduct, each vote giving
him the privilege Of remaining on the
active list Of the navy ten additional
years after retiring at the age OF sixty
Two years.
This is one vote more than was &C
corded TO either Grant or Fsrragut, and
will hardly sustain in the minds OF
American people the accusations of I'M
truthfulneSs and villainy sought 70 be
applied TO him by Butler. Moreover
after the capture Of New Orleans Con-
gresS hOnored my father with the rank
OF Acting Rear Admiral, and Mr.. Gideon
Welles, the then Secretary Of the Navy,
ordered him 10 the command OF the up
per Mississippi squadron.
1T is known that Secretary WelleS
did not feel friendly towards my father,
and If there had been any foundation
for the charge of yillainy and cOwardice
in his conduct the Secretary would have
been only too glad TO lessen the Ad-
miraPS influence rather than Increase
10 by so important a command. This
should be sufficient TO retute the charge
that the brave, truthful and only Strate-
gic General that the late war produced
has imputed TO Admiral Porter.
"A book giving the life Of my father
is now in preparation by Assistant Sec
rotary Of the Navy Solely. This work
will contain an accurate history of the
circumstance that Butler calls untruth-
full and villainOus. This will be the
last statement 70 reference 70 Ben But
ler's book that will come from any mem
Der OF Admiral POrter'S family. l do
not doubt, however, that the officers
vaho served under Admiral Porter, many
of whom are still living and who come
in for a share OF Buffers structures and
luminosity will have something TO say in
their own and the Admirars defence
when the matter is brought to their at
tentiOn.
