SPORTING NOTES.

George Smith, of the Riverside Wheel
men, has lowered the American quarter
mile record, making it 81 35 seconds.
Walter Dohm, holder of the present
quarter and half-mile running records,
now aspires to the mile record. He is
training with that intention, and the
New York Athletic Club look for him to
accomplish the feat.
A novice in hammer-throwing at the
Christian Brothers College games in St.
Louis last week threw sixteen pound
hammer 96 feet 10 inches on the second
try. There is unanimous scramble for
the new world beaten. His name is John
P. Sullivan.
Mac Martin, the one-legged rider, has
left Buffalo for Syracuse, where he will
train for his race with Beedleson, another
rider similarly afflicted. The race will
be for a quarter mile, and Mac Martin
will allow his competitor handicap. The
Syracuse rider can "kick" wheel with
one leg as fast as many two legged wheel
men.
The annual tennis tournament will be
held for the championship of the Middle
States at the grounds of the Orange Lawn
Tennis Club, at Mountain Station, near
Orange, N. j., on Wednesday, June 80,
and following days. The winner in sim
giles will be required to play with Mr.. c.
E. Sands, of the St. George Cricket Club,
the present holder of the Middle States
Championship Challenge Cup. This cup
was first offered for competition in 1887,
and will become the property of any one
who shall win it three times.

oPHIR HALL-MR. Reds RESIDENCE.
Up to the election of President Harrison
in 1888, Mr.. Reid had declined public
Office. Rutherford B. Hayes offered him
the post of Minister to Germany, and
President Garfield made him similar
offer, both of which he refused. Three
years ago he accepted the post OF Minister
to France. He succeeded in negotiating
for the entrance of the American hog into
France, and on his return to this country
a short time ago, after having resigned
hisspost, he brought with him the draft
of treaty of extradition with France,
which the Senate did not ratify.
Mr.. Reid married 1.-THE only daughter of
D. o. Mills, the millionaire. He has two
children, son born in 1883, and daugh-
ter. 1t is said that on the birth of the
son Mr.. Mills gave Mrs. Reid his stock in
the Tribune building. Besides the books
already mentioned Mr.. Reid has pub
lished "Schools of Journalism (1S71),
"The Scholar in Politics" QS73), "Some
Newspaper Tendencies Q879), and
Clown Hall Suggestions" 1S8D. He
is director in numerous financial and
charitable corporations, and was, for a
number OF years, president of the Lotos
Climb.

The Latest Fir Keel Yacht.

The Freak, the latest fin keel twenty
one footer, is about to receive her fin and
lead at Boston, Mass. The fin is widely
different from anything yet placed upon
boat of this type in the East, both in
shape and construction. 1t is of Tobin
bronze, but, instead of being in one solid
plate, is in two plates, each three-six-
teenths of an inch in thickness and firmly
riyeted together. In shape, it is rec
tangle, with a depth of six feet and a
length of five feet. The slopes found at
the forward and after ends of the other
fins are therefore absent, and an unwieldy
and unshipshape look Is given.
With six-foot fin, the boat will draw
over seven feet of water. This will make
her the deepest draught boat of the fin
keel type in the class, while her tow lead
will make her the most powerful, with
the possible exception of the Tadpole, the
waterhouse design. Grave doubts are
expressed by those who have seen the
fin as to whether or not it will prove
stiff enough to hold the lead when the
boat is well laid out. The hull of the
boat receives nothing but commentators,
both for model and workmanship.

Whitelaw Reid, the Republican non1i-
nee for the Office of vice. president, was
born in Xenia, Ohio, in October 81, 1887.
An uncle, Hugh Mcmillan, D. D., a Scotch
Covenanter and conscientious man, took
the task upon himself of fitting White
law for college. As a teacher of classics
a fine reputation. Under his instruction
his nephew was SO well drilled in Latin
that at the age of fifteen years he entered
Miami as sophomore, with a Latinist
rank equal to that of scholars in the up
per classes. This was in 1868, and in 1856
he was graduated with honors.
just after graduation he was made
principal of the graded schools in South
Charleston, Ohio, his immediate pupils
being generally older than himself. Here
he taught French, Latin and the higher
mathematics. During this period he re-
paid his father the expense of his senior
year in college, and, returning homo at
the age of twenty, he bought The Xenia
News and for two years led the life OF a
country editor.
He sold it in 1850, and in the winter Of
1S60-61 wrote letters from Columbus to
the Cleveland Herald and to the Cincin-
natl Times and Gazette. He then be-
came city editor of the Cincinnati Ga
zette. When the war broke out he went
to the front as the correspondent of the
Gazette. He had the post of aid-de-
camp, with rank of captain. Mr.. Reid's
letters were written over the signature OF
"Agate."
After the war he became Washington
correspondent of the Gazette, of which
paper he had become one of the fpronrie-

A FLYER ON WHEELS.
A Remarkable Record Of George G.
Smith.

Rode His First Race a Year Ago-Has
Won Nearly Every Race i'm Which He
Entered - May Become Champion.
Wins Three Races In One Day.
But few cyclers have sprung into
prominence in such a short time as has
George G. Smith, of the Riverside Wheel
men, of New York city. He rode his first
race in competition year ago this month,
and has improved SO much since then
that to- day he is feared by the scratch
men, a number of whom he has beaten.
He has made an excellent record for him
self, winning nearly every race in which
he has competed.
He rode his first race at the annual race
meet of the Kings County Wheelmen, in
June, 1891. He won his first event, and
had he not slipped his pedal in the second
would doubtless have won that. AS it
was he finished second.
At the next meeting of the Manhattan
Athletic Club, held at Manhattan Field
last September, he made an excellent rec
ord, winning every event in which he
competed, and defeating Charles M.
Murphy in the quarter mile ordinary
from the scratch to the general surprise
of all.
Up to May IA of the present year Smith
had never raced on any machine but an
ordinary. But on that day he competed
on safety at the Rockland County
Wheelmen's meet. At these races he won
the two-mile safety, one mile ordinary,
one mile safety scratch, and finished Sec
ond in the five-mile safety. In this race he
had barely finished the previous mile
race before he started. He started from
the scratch while the winner had $50
yards start. and practically rode six miles,
while the winner rode less than five.
He won first place, two seconds and a
third, at the annual meet of the Rome
Cyclers on Decoration Day. At the meet
of the Century Club Wheelmen at Phila-
delphia, short time after, he won the
quarter mile safety race, and lowered the
record for the distance to 81 3-5 seconds
In this race he beat A. B. Rich. His per-
Torrance in the race was all the more re-
markable in view OF the fact that he rode
a 38-pound machine, while the average
weight of racer is % pounds.

A NEW ENGLAND SPRINTER.
Thomas F. Keane, Whose Record Ia
Full of Promise.

Thomas f. Keane, Whose Record Ii
Full of Promise.
Thomas F. Keane, of the Melrose Ath.
letic Club of Boston, Mass, is the athlete
whose name is on many tongues at the
present time.
His two victories at Gloucester, Mass.
on Memorial day have been the talk Of
the sprinters ever since.
called, stands about five feet seven inches
in height, weighs in condition, 40 pounds
and is about twenty years of age.
Here is list of his victories and rec
ords:
Commencing July a, 1890, he won the
first prize in the city of Boston games at
the 100 yard dash.
InSeptember of the same year he finished
first in the 100 and second in 1876 yards
dash at the games of the Miller Base Ball
Association.
On June II, 1891, he was a winner OF
two first prizes; one in the 100 yard dash
and one in the running broad jump. He
won third place in the $40 yards run at
the games of the Trimounts on last
Fourth of July, the time of the winner
being 81 4-5s. Keane was but few yards
behind.
At the Riverside B. G. games last Au-
gust he finished third in both the 100
yards and 440yards run. In the 12O-
yards dash at the games Of the Melrose
Athletic Club in September of last year
he won great race from a large field OF
starters. Two or three days afterward he
went to Providence and secured two
prizes, being third man in the 120- yards
dash and third in. the 300-yards run.
At Gloucester, Mass, on Decoration
day, he won the 100 and 440-yard races in
the easiest manner possible, never having
to exert himself to win.

SET HIM RIGHT,

Geo. Augustus Sala the well known English
writer, on his last Australian trip wrote as
follows to The London Daily Telegraph:

medico indeed, who tended me most kindly dur.
ing horrible spell of bronchitis and spasmodic
asthma provoked by the sea fog which had
swooped down on us after we left San Francis

neared the Tropics, and, in particular, a couple
of ALLcoCK's Porous PLAsTERs clapped on
one on the chest and another between the Shout

The Portland daily press., 1892-06-25

On June 6, he competed at the annual
meeting of the Connecticut branch OF the
L. A. w. at New Haven. He won the
one-mile ordinary, defeating William F.
Murphy, of the New York Athletic, and
W. W. Taxis, the.crack Philadelphia rider.
He won the half-mile ordinary, again de-
feating Murphy, who finished second,
and came in third in the one mile safety,
three-minute class.
Smith is improving every day, and will
doubtless make some of the crack flyers
hustle tobeat him before the season closes.
In another year he will doubtless be on
scratch.
