DIVISION League of American wheelmen.
bis most notable achievement on the
wheel was In the spring OF 1887, when
alone, with an ordinary. he blazed the
route from San Francisco to Los Angeles,
Delng The first wheelman in California to
make the journey awheel between these
two cities. Besides being a member of the
olympic Climb he is a memOer of the Ala

men.
In reference to the women of Paris who
nave taken an active interest in bicycling
an exchange says:
Let those who have not seen the knicker-
DOcker costumes worn by the cycling
women OF Paris look upon the illustrations
IN the French papers. 1t Will be acknowl-
edged at once that they are the ideal style
OF dress for women. How any one can
urge that they embody indeiicacy or any
thing that respectable woman needs be
ashamed or we cannot Imagine. 1t is a
curious fact that the prudes who object to
knickerbocker costumes foT lady cyclists
can see nothing Objectionable in the semi

the ballroom and the front seats of the
ater. But reform is coming. and none too
soon.
When woman goes in for any fort of
sport or athletics she generally becomes
an enthusiast right off, and wants to do
her work from mans standpoint; and
she is frequently willing to spoil her fas-
clnatng femininiiy to accomplish it, At
the same time she loses sight of the fact
that she Is leaving prejudices in her track
TO the great disadvantage of her fellow
woman. AT present Paris is wrought up over
the hobby of its feminine citizens to bicycle
IN trousers. The vel0ce women, as they
style themselves, have even gone so far as
to race in sweaters" and the fight over
the pros and cons of wheelwOmanship
wages fast and furious.
Ii is not believed by people who do not
ride the bicycle that one can become at
tached to his machn ne as rider does to his
horse. Such is the case, however, True,
the wheel is an inanimate object, and in
capable OF manifesting those lovable quail
ties which are characteristic of some
horses, but the rider who has been carried
safely over miles OF beautiful country, and
has enjoyed many delightful hour on his
machine. soon begins to pet it much as he
would a horse. He is willing 10 spend
some time IN cleaning and polishing it up.
all breaks are Immediately repaired, and
no effort is spared to keep the machine in
as good order as possible.

WRESTLING.
How the Athletes Are Training for
the Hugging Match.


As the date for the intern ationaI wrest-
ling tournament approaches the interest
increases. England and Scotland being
represented by Acton and Mcleod respect
lively has the call so far, among betting
people.
The supporters of these two are about
evenly divided. Among the other nations
represented there does not seem 10 be much
choice. although America and SlavOnia
are beginning to look pretty well.
The accident TO Jess Clark, while it is
very much regretted by all. Will not affect
the tournament in the least. There are
several of the original entries who finally
concluded not to compete but are willing to
go in. 1t has not yet been decided who
will be selected to fill Clark's place.
The men who are going to compete for
the $1,000 in cash offered by the manage
ment, as well as the glory and honor of their
country. are doing some quite hard work.
Acton does the most of his work at the
South End Boat Club and tramping over
the Mission hills. Mcleod, who Is always
quiet, steady worker, is putting in his
best lickS this time SO as TO be iD good
condition 10 meet Acton. who is looked
upon as his principal antagonist. Mcleod

has pretty good exercise in his business,
and outside of that and wrestling he takes
about a teD-mile walk in the hills every
afternoon. finishing up the day with dumb
bell exercise. in which be is great be-
lever.
Johansen, "the terrible Swede." is en-
gagged at H. S. Crocker's and gets rIetty
good exercise handling larger packages.
1t is said that he can pick up a 200 pound
package as though 1t was feather pillow.
His friends say that he is doing some ef-
fective training and predict that he will
make the champions hustle, but he does
no talking himself about his chances.
Nick Backulirh. the big SlavOnIan tug
of-war champion, is training at San jose
Antoine Teojanovich is feet IL inches
in height. weighs 220 pounds with not a
pound OF surplus flesh, and knows some
thing about wrestling.
Dan Campbell, the big Canadian athlete,
is doing his training in the Santa Cruz
Noun tains.
Tom Carroll. the big Scoth athlete, is
training in Fruitvale.
Alto. the big Indian of Porterville, who
is now liable to be in the tournament, has
been heard from. He is said to be a dan
gerous man. who is looking for scaps.

The Pacific Coast Coursing Club is look

dogs on the next steamer from the Col

If any Of the longtails happen this way
during the winter season their owners
can rest assured that they will not have to
return minus several meetings with the
representative dogs of this coast.
A prominent member of the Pacific
Club. who is well supplied with the neces-
sary wherewithal TO back his opinion
whenever the opportunity permits, said
few davs ago that he had his minds eye
on half a dozen dogs. any one of which
he will back substantially against the pick

Rowing.

Boating affairs are quescent but living,
and the guiding minds of the University
Boat Club having few weeks leisure at
present have under consideration some
thing the like of which has never been
seen on the coast. Plans are yet in a
rather chaotic condition. but grand thea
