B|CYCL|sT AGAINST HORSE.
1t Seems Probable that the Tes'
Will Be Made.
Alexander on Horseback and
kluge tho Ricy clist.

THE Worlds proposition for a TWEEN
ty-milc match between a bicycle and "A
horse, to decide the vexed question
whether n thoroughbred Of to-day Is re-
trogiading in point Of endurance, awak-
ened widespread interest among horse
men and wneelmen alike. The chances
are more than equal that the contest
Will take place.
The first definite proposition was made
yesterday, when j. j. Alexander. Of
Jacksonville. Fla. offered to race TWEEN
ty miles against any bicyclist, provided
he is allowed to use two horses, and
relay at every mile
Mr.. Alexander proposes to ride the
horses himself, and says he will weigh
between l40 and l45 pounds on the day
of the race. He will consult with sew
eral bicyclists to-day. AMI try to ar
n "A match.
Mr.. Alexander claims to nave defeated
Jack Prince in "A similar race by IA very
narrow margin. At that time Prince
was looked upon AZ the champion. and
was at his best. The race was over a
half-mile track. a Id tool place in Flor.
Ida. a board track having been pre-.
pared for Prince.
While his proposition to race tive
horses against a bicyclist Is no eX.
actly what THE World" wishes, Mr.,
Alexander will undoubtedly consent to
use one horse II IA match can be ar
ranged.
One of the most enthusiastic men about
the proposed match Is Manager Carr, OF
the Gutenberg track, and he is willing
to offer any fair inducemcnt to have the
match arranged. He has wen gone So
far as to receive proposals for laying
a board track wide enough for a bIcycllst
around his track on the hilltop.
Mr.. Alexander Will be a: the Gluten.
burg track to- morrow. and he and Man.
ager Carr will talk the matter over.
Mr.. Carr said last night: Il SHOULD

Mr.. Alexander says that a board tract
could be put down for about $500.
The match could be arranged for an
race day at Gutenberg, and commenC,
at 1890 o'clock. This would give ampl,
time for the race to be finished in tim,
