Tomorrow an inter.club run will be
made to West Alexander and return,
which will be participated in by dele
cations from the W, A. W., Wheeling
Cyclers, and the Mountain State Wheel
men. Already enough have entered to
assure the largest attended run of the
season. Those intending to go should
notify Charles Stroebel, at his shoe
store, on South Market street, so that
an ample number OF "wheelmen's din
ners" can be secured. This is the ideal
time of the year for wheel runs and
tours, SO an enjoyable time can be
looked for. The return run will proba-
bly, develop into scorcher

The racing men who attended the
wv. Va. state meet races, lately held in
Wheeling are all loud in their praise OF
tho management. At Pittsburgh there
was some complaint as to the quality OF
the prizes offered, and George Banker
said you ought to go to Wheeling for
YOUR prizes; they gave diamonds there,
and they're not paste either"
The present week has been one Of
record.breaking performances on the
cycle tracks. Springfield, noted for her
peerless course, was the scene OF the
marvellous performances on the wheel
Windle and Tyler are the heroes OF the
week, and they deserve all the praise
that has been showered on them, in so
ably representing American supremacy
on the path. Arthur Zimmerman has
lust concluded his regular racing sea-
son and next week he will be AT Spring
field, when it can be expected that some
Of the new records will die in infancy.
Jimmy has never been much on trials
against time: his forte is to win Compe-
titive contests, but nevertheless most
Americans think he has got little more
speed hidden away in those long legs
than any of the others, and their faith
will be proved or disproven the coming
week. 1t is his intention to go for
everything, from the quarter.mile up to
the one hour record.
Windle's performance OF riding mile
in less than two minutes, 1856, aston
ished people who have not been closely
watching the advances made in the
sport this summer. 1t has been really
only question as to how soon some OF
the'cracks would go the distance in less
than two minutes. Windle's mile was
done with flying start. In this con-
nection Springfield dispatch says:
"a question which has for more than
n wear troubled the entire bicycling
fraternity was also settled this after
noon BY the announcement by L. G.
Dumbleton that in the presence OF Tom
Eek, Billy Rhodes and himself, John $.
johnson confessed that he did not ride
the fast miles which have been credited
to him as being made on kite track.
While this has been generally thought
to be true, this is the first statement
from johnson himself that the records
are not entitled to consideration.
Windle, who intended to have tried for
tho 6ve-mile record this afternoon, was
not feeling in frst-class condition, and
gave it up. Arrangements are in prog
ress that will provide the best facilities
possible in the world for the breaking
