the trophies, and time will be selected
when the most of them are at ii berty. Such
an event will be of inestimable advantage
TO our PLAYERS, who will have an oppor-
runity of comparing their own methods
with those of the experts from other fields
1t will also draw out all the enthusiasts,
and there are more of them in Pittsburg and
vicinity than is suspected. The tournament
OF a rev weeks ago was pointer in this
direction, for in attendance it equaled the
great events of the East, and on the last
dav the crowd was larger than it was either
at the Newport, New Bedford or Long
Island tournaments. With fair weather, a
good list of entries and the accommodations
slightly improved, the invitation tourna-
ment will be one of the greatest events of
the season in the entire country.
Captain J. P. Culbertson is one of the
best known wheelmen of the CITY, and
while he has never made racing specially,
he can make mile in fast time and he
knows all there is to know about a wheel
He commenced riding the ordinary
In 1880, and after changing his
wheel innumerable times has adopted
the safety, on which he is an ex-
pert. He can ride standing straight on the
seat with his back to the pedals, or he can
balance the wheel in any position; in tact
he can perform over a hundred feats, any
one of which would seem impossible to the
average rider. He is captain of the East
End Gym wheelmen, and takes a greater
interest in the welfare of the organization
than anyone else connected with it He is
popular with all the riders and may be
seen frequently on the thoroughfares OF the
East End piloting the ladvl members of the
GYM wheelmen. He is a member OF the
Pittsburg Cycle Company.
The Coraopolis TennisClub although an or
ganization OF three years standing, has never
attracted SO much attention by Its doings as
at the present time. Several incidents nave
served to bring it into prominence lately,
among which were the entries of some of
its players in the Pittsburg Tennis Clubs
tournament, and later the announcement
that the club would give an invitation
tournament of it's own. The latter was to
have been held during the past week, and
quite large list of entries were made, but
Tor several important reasons it was post
poned until the last week in August, when
it is expected that it will be one of the
largest affairs of the kind in this section of
the State. The club was organize d in 1889,
and since thaJ Time mas Kept up an
interest among the members by holding
club Journeys and giving entertainments,
dances, etc. 1t gave dance at almost
every one of its meetings during the first
wear OF its existence, and it had one OF the
most pleasant picnics of the season, one
that all the members still hold in memory.
Since then the members have steadily i'm
proved in play until they compare we'll
with the players OF any of the Western
Pennsylvania clubs. There have been two
club tournaments SO far this year, the first
in June, when John Wilson, of the Pitts
burg and Fort Wayne Railroad Company,
won the club championship at singles In
the tournament finished last week w. Z.
Treadway won the singles and this week
will play Mr.. Wilson for the championship.
Besides these tournaments, the five courts
have been in constant requisition, and al
most every dav Misses Lille Ferree,
Sadie Ferree, Ollie Watson, Lottie Nc
Cabe, Edna Bailey and Messrs.

Cooper, Dell McCabe, W. 7. Treadway 4,
