the stranger, this Is tho first time I

Sullivan was touched by the pathetic
little story. He called for his valet and
told him to write down the address a.
follows: "Manon O'Sullivan, sack-a~.
beg, County Kerry, Ireland" Then he
sent letter to his shoemaker, Bryan,
Mcswyny, New York, telling him to
make pair of shoes with kangaroo up
pers, elkskin soles and porpoise hide
laces, and spare no cost. And after he
was through training for the day he sat
down and wrote the autograph letter to
accompany the shoes, fac-simile Of
which is printed with this article. The
shoes were shipped on the City of Paris
in a neat box, with the directions care
fully printed on the outside.

The contradictory elements in the
character of John L. Sullivan, the cham

fairly illustrated in the following STAN

John L. Sullivan has never been ac-

probably never will be, but toward
young people he exhibits the utmost
kindness and consideration. During

John Owen O'Sullivan was deeply inter

'Arrah, man, but I'd like to see him:
And Of his own flesh and blood! Dye

''No. I never WILL" interrupted John

story OF the admiration of his kin in
Ireland for him. 'But how did John
Owen explain his relationship to me?"
"He said" continued the stranger,
''that many years ago, probably fifty,
three O'Sullivans-Mi John and
Lawrence-built the house we were sit

and Michael and John went to America,
leaving Lawrence TO work the place.
He was positive that you were the son
of Michael or John, he didn't know
which, and then he arrived at the con-
clusion that you were his cousin, which

''she was the eldest daughter of John
Owen, a stout, healthy lass, with a
beautiful complexion and bright blue
eyes. She baked the lovely bread over
the turf fire, and regarded you in the

This delicate fattery made John l.

''She wore no shoes, even in winter

barefoot she blushed and replied that
she did not have the money to buy

The clubhouse of the Arions at Cam

scene of a merry gathering last night
The occasion was an entertainment I'M
der the auspices of the Arions. The past
record of this famous and popular Or
ganization shows that all its entertain
ments have been brilliant events and
last night was no exception. The club
house was tastefully decorated. Every
seat was occupied and standing room
was at a premium. The entertainment
throughout was in the German tongue.
1t was greatly enjoyed.
The entertainment opened with the
comedy "C~agoener'' or English" Its
production was good and the participants,
Mrs. Henkel, Mrs. Keim, Mrs. Osmond,
Messrs. Buehler, Krentzig, Kaestner.
Zessel. Stohn aud Brodmerkel received

Arion singers. Dancing was subsequently
INDUCED IN until an early hour. All had
an enjoyable time.

dealers have been made for an active sea-
son. The League of American Wheelmen
and associations of clubs are also making
preparations for a big year. Racing will
be one of the leading departments OF the
League of American Wheelmen this sea-
son. The League in past years has done
but little to foster OF promote The sport,
in fact its r and popularity are due
entirely to the efforts of individual Or
ganizations. The new racing officials have
awakened from their lethargy, and have
set to work. The racing boald OF the
l.. A. w. Is at work at present upon plans
which will place racing on q higher level
and bring it more prominently before the
public. Arrangements for the New York,
New Jersey upd Pennsylvania circuits are
about complete. The racing season opens
June 6 at New Haven. Ii promises to be
a big meet. Immediately after the New
Haven meet, the big and fast riders
will attend the races of the Syracuse
Wheelmen. From Syracuse the racing
men will go to Rochester where a meet Is
to be held under the auspices of the
Crescent Cycle CLUB; from Rochester
the circuit will extend to the meet OF the
Press Cycling Club at Buffalo. Follow
ing these events come the meets of the
York and Scranton wheelmen in Penn
%sylvania. No definite arrangements have
been contaminated Tor the New Jersey
races as vet.
State championship races will be allotted
to each club in the circuit. No official dates
have been decided upon for any of the
clubs except the Home Cyclers Il have
selected May 80 as race day. The River
side wheelmen, of New York, have
selected June 9 as their date, and the
Manhattan field as the place.
The Kings County Wneelmen will
probably hold their big tournament
on Mannatten field, June IS, The EXecu-
tive Committee of the League of AmeIi-
can Wheelmen will consider. at its meet
ing next month, the advlsability OF
changing the annual meeting date from
July TO September. his year the annual

very warm place to hold the meet. An
attempt will probably be made to have
the time charged 10 September.
The National Racing Board will meet
in New York city next month. Many
changes are to be made in existing rules.
The championship events now CONSIST of
