Asa Windle is probably the most rep
resentative type of the bicycle trainer OF
10. day; indeed, he but little more than
keeps an eye on the boys" and sees
that the wheels and things generally are
l:ept in ship shape. This year he has had
an eye on nearly all the more prominent
racing men, save Zimmerman, who wa
looked after by his brother i'm law. w.
w. Windle, George T. Taylor, w. s.
Campbell, Fl. G. Wheeler and &. w.
Dorntge were among those whom ASS
watched over.
Asa Windle is a very powerful man, and
re is in consequence always in demand as
pusher- of. He is not only strong, but
has the knack (for there is a knack about
it) To nicely, and the racing man who
has the benefit of the Asa Windle push
off seldom il ever fails to get away in
front, IL he so desires it. In short race
his push is easily worth two yards to any
man, while in trial against time IL means
4 good fraction of a second every trip.
Mr. Windle has probably assisted and
seen more important records broken than
sny other man in America.

A RAILROAD FIGHT.
New Hampshire Railroad Legislation
VIII Manchester Get New Station?

New Hampshire Railroad Legisiation-
VIII Manchester Get n New Station?
CONCORD, N. H., Dec. 19.-There is con-
siderable talk as to whether there will be
o railroad fight in tie coming Legislature.
The published rumor that an effort will
be made to secure general railroad law
does not appear to have much of any
foundation.
One of the counsel OF leading railroad
system in this state says that that corpor-
alton has not yet decided to ask for any
special legislation, and he has not OBJ
tained any intimation that the other sys-
tenn desires any either at the pretent time.
! Interviews had with both Boston q
Maine and Concord d Montreal officials
peace between these two powerful corpo-
fations. This view seems to be fortified
bv the fact OF an amicable arrangement
having been reached in relation to the
subject OF union passenger station at
Manchester, which for some time past has
been a very troublesome issue.
The Concord & Montreal and the Bos-
ton Il Maine have each signed a petition
20 the Supreme Court, asking that the
state railroad commissioners be author
lied to select site and make the general
arrangements for such a station, and In
case that board Is not legally completed
the petitioners further ask that the court
appoint a special commission for the pur-
pose. This Joint action will, without
doubt, smooth the way for Manchester
having n half a million dollar station IN
the near future.

But TO the pacific visitor the pride OF

THE MONSTER STEAMSHIP.

1t is thought that a steamer OF this de-
sign could be built sufficiently strong TO
withstand a much greater strain than she
would ever encounter in the waves OF the
Atlantic.
The design would admit OF the different
sections conforming to the angle or ele-
vation OF any size OF waves she would
meet without straining.
The steel floats on the outside might
retard the speed a knot or two, but they
are not a necessary part of the plan, and
may be detached. They furnish berths
for four or five hundred OF the crew, also
help to steady the outer trains, and would
be useful for tenders.
1t is proposed TO use paddle wheels for
the propelling medium. or course, three,
four, or five screws could be used at the
stern, but would not be so suitable FOR
the high speed as the paddles, which,
working in protected water and having a
diameter Of fifty-six feet, with engines 10
drive them at thirty-hve revolutions,
should make about thirty five knots.
To many no doubt II may seem impos-
sible TO control the motion OF such heavy
structures in a seaway. As matter OF
fact there is only one motion In a seaway
! that is not preventable, and that Is the
vertical motion, which II IL not necessary
to control. The system OF connection al
| lows play room for that toa much greater
extent than is necessary. The tendency,
! however, in a steamer OF this design
would be to lessen 10. IL Is the lateral
motion that could be easily diminished
| or prevented.
The proposed steamer would have ac-
commodation for 900 passengers, giving
a greater number OF cubic feet Tor each
passenger than the present steamers, and
as IL would carry no freig ht, would remain
n shorter time i'm port. SO that at the
speed that would be attained she would
average about one trip week, or forty
during a season OF nine months. Garry
ing I70, 900 passengers at present rates fol

$1,000 first class would pay $4,000
$4,000 second class, s3,200,00o; total
1900 900; which ought To pay n yer,
handsome dividend after paying operat'
ing expenses.

A FINE ARMORY.
The Building Occupied ny she Crack
First Regiment Of Chicago.

Chicago is justly proud OF its First
Regiment Armory Building, which is
perhaps the most massive piece OF mason
nv In the city, and which impresses the
beholder as IL il were an impregnable
fortress, writes Julian Ralph, in Harper's
Weekly. Blending with its stern sug-
gestions of strength and solidity are
such graceful architectural lines as TO give
IL place among the most beautiful
structures of the city. Its designers are
Messrs. Burnham & Root, Mr.. Burnham
being the present Chief OF Construction
OF the Columbian Exposition. 1t is be-
lieved in Chicago that there is not in the
whole country an armory more massive,
more beautiful, or more ingeniouslv or
dered for providing complete and ample
accommodation while economizing the
space at command.
The new armory, which is at Michigan
avenue and Sixteenth street, has for its
first story q massive 5-foot wall OF large
blocks OF rock faced brownstone. This
wall Is only broken by the front entrance,
which takes the form OF great sally

rritEsimmons and Hall Sign Articles

Fritzsimmons and Hall Sign Articles.
Several years have elapsed since match
Letween the great Australian pugilists,
Bob Fitzsimmons and Jim Hall, was first
suggested, and nearly a month has passed
since they signed articles to fight for
$40, 900, the largest purse by flo, 900 ever
before offered for a pugilistic contest
There was some Misunderstanding about
the original articles. Fitz signed here
and Hall affixed his signature to the same
paper in London, after having frat made
some alterations in II. Capt. Frank
Williams thought cit best to have the
boxers sign a new contract, so as to avoid
any trouble which might grow out OF the
Misunderstanding in the first articles.
Therefore amended articles OF agree
ment for the contest were drawn up and
signed on December IL. BY the new arti-
cles the men are to contest at catch
Weights on March s. Capt. Williams, OF
the Crescent Athletic Club, Warren Lewis,
representing Hall, Martin Julian, and the
principles were present. The first ques-
ton brought up was the weight at which
the battle should be fought. Fitzsim-
mons wanted to fight at 15S pounds,
while Hall held out for 160. Finally the
men compromised at catch weight. 1t
vas also agreed that the losers end OF the
purse should be $500. The articles read
as follows:
We, the undersig ned, Frank Williams,
syent for the Crescent City Athletic Club
4 New Orleans, La, party OF the first
part, and Robert Fitzsimmons OF Austria
ia and James Hall of Chicago, all parties
Of the second part, do hereby enter into
contract, the terms Of which are as fol-
lows:
First-Said Frank Williams, acting for
said Crescent City Athletic Club, agrees
% give the sum of $40, 900 to be contested
'or in the arena of said club March s
1893, by said parties OF the second part.
This money shall be paid to the said
contestants as follows: S37 500 TO the win
rer and r, 500 to the loser.
Second-Said Fitzsimmons and Hall
agree 10 box to a finish at catch weights
for said purse under the following con-
| ditions:
To be in tho ring at 9 p. m. ready to go
on with the contest, which shall be gov
erned by Marquis of Queensberry rules.
Five-ouncc gloves shall be used.
They also agree that the club shall Sc

A CRACK TRAINER.
Asa Wtndie, tho Most Representative
Bicycle Trainer of To-day.

Asa Wtndle, the Most Representative
Bicycle Trainer Of To-day.
The trainers OF bicycle racing mon oc-
cupIes to-day vastly different position
from that of few years ago. Then he
followed his charge with an eagle eye,
usually coatless, with shirt sleeves rolled
up and Turkish towel thrown over his
shoulder. Nowadays the bicycle trainer
generally has half dozen men In his care
at the same time, and IL is seldom indeed
that he carries the towel or actively en-
cages In the rubbing down operation.
He simply keeps an eye on his charge,
says W hen and where and how much be
shall ride, advises this and that and the
other; sees that his wheels are we'll taken
care OF and kept in shape for racing and
does other such light work, leaving the
actual Hunkying to his assistants, just as
the horse trainer leaves the sponging OF
the horses mouth and the carrying Of the
blanket to the stable hands.
OF the bicycle trainers few have been
longer in the business than Asa Windle,
who has devoted most OF his time to the
development Of Eastern racing men.
Windle Is tall, well built, fine looking
man of intense determination, very
necessary characteristic of the successful
trainer. He was q racing man of fair
ability at one time, and he is still able to
keep the pedals OF bicycle moving
pretty lively when occasion requires.
He Is cousin of the ex-champion and
present record holder, w. w. Windle, OF
the Manhattan Athletic Club Of New
York, and 1t was he who first discerneo
and developed the wonderful speed in w
w. He looked after him for several sea-
sons and saw him reach the very zenith
of plorv.

CENTERDAlE.

A numb of the employees of the New
York and New England Railroad who re-
side along the road are more than indig.
nant that an opportunity was not afforded
them to attend the funeral OF Fred Hines
at Pascoag on Sunday. 1t was expected
that a special train could be obtained 50
as TO allow fellow workmen, their wives,
and friends OF the deceased the privilege
of attending the services. But contrary
TO their wishes and expectations, the only
train obtainable was an extra train OF
coal dumps which the officials would
allow them to have. That 10 more suit
able arrangements could be made has
called forth considerable comment
throughout this locality, and that the
officias of the road should do them the
injustice as they claim, of no. providing
for them proper facilities for paying their
last respects toa former comrade and
friend cannot soon be forgotten.
