ASSOCIATED CYCLING CLUBS.
The New Organization to Secure n
Common Racing Track.

Common Racing Track.
Cycling Clubs Of the District has long been
the talk of cyclists. and although it was
started some time ago. it has only recently
-hasn-organized. At the meeting held last
week the different clubs organized, elected
officers. appointed two important commit
tees and are now ready to go to work.
The new organization is composed of all
the leading bicycle clubs of the city, and
has been formed for the purpose of further
ing bicycling interests in general and I'M
dertaking enterprises which will benefit the
wheelmen of Washington at large. By
joining together il has been thought that
undertakings might be shOuldered by the
organization as a whole which would be be-
yond any single club. The most important
Of these is bicycle track. and within a
day or so now the whereabouts of this track
and all the arrangements in connection with
IL will be known.
At the last meeting, when the organiZa-
ton was formed, committee was appoint
ed to take the matter of a track in hand.
This committee consists of LarCom of the
Arlington Wheelmen, chairman; Meesin of
Carroll Institute and Jose of the Washing
ton Road Club. This committee has opened
and will report to the Associated Cycling
Clubs at the next meeting. committee on
Incorporation was also appointed, and Is
expected to report then also.
The officers OF the Associated Cycling
Clubs are: President, Bennett of the Wash
of the Arlington Wheelmen; treasurer, Lar
com OF the Arlington Wheelmen, and secre-
tary. George Cook Of the Georgetown Cycle
Club.

A NOVEL OCEAN RACE.
The Steamers Fire Up Till tho Draft Alone
Licks In Tons of Coal.

The Steamers Fire Up Till tho Draft Alone
Licks In Tons OF Coal.
In these days of ocean racing the
speeding is nearly always done against
time, but there was a battle royal
ended a few weeks ago between the
American steamships Carib Prince and
Muriel, says the Cardiff Mail. that
would have started the gooseflesh of
excitement on the most collected of
seamen. The Carib Prince left Dem
erara on November II and logged
lcisurely away on her journey north
ward. Three days later the Muriel set
sail for barbados and journeyed in
the same direction. Both vessels were
about abreast at this time but sepa-
rated by wide patch Of ocean. Three
days later, however, they narrowed
the angles of their courses down to
the apex, and when they were in sight
of each other it was pull devil pull
baker for the lead.
Down in their vessels holds their en-
gines banged and ratified in countless
revolutions, twisting their screws as
they were never twisted before, and
out of the mouths of their smoliestaclis
came inl1y clouds. Neck and neck they
came up the coast, and every man
jack aboard, in the parlance of the
sea, rooted hard" for victory. In the
stokehold, according to one of the
fremen, they didn't have to shovel in
coal-they just opened the furnace
doors and the draft licked in tons ut
time. For seven days they were in
sight of each other, end the Muriel,
with magnificent burst of speed,
crawled up on her rival and then quick
ly ran out of sight.

LEeENps OF MONSTERS.
A Possible Cause OF the Tsies That Sur
vive In English Folk Lorc.


vive In English Folk Lorc.
Every reader Of north-country lore
and legend, says an English pa per. is
familiar with the stories of monstrous
worms. dragons" ''tiery flying ser
penis" and the like, which are said to
have located themselves in various dis
, tricts. Sexhow, under the shadow of
the Cleveland Hills, Teesgirt, Stock
burn and Lambton upon the Wear are
instances. Men have laughed at the
stories, calling them "old wives tales"
but forgetting that even these may
nay, must-have had, somewhere and
sometime, some foundation in fact.
The old stories of elves and fairies,
which amused and frightened children
in bygone days, my we'll, as Kingsley
points out, have had their origin in
memories of tho feeble folk of the
stone age who chippcd 1ints into rude
kL.ves and arrowheads, and who lin
gcred in out-of-thc-way caves, it may
be, long after the bulk of them had
been slain or driven away into the far
north by stronger and better armed
tribes. So the stories of these terrible
monsters may not be SO foolish as they
appear. Take, for instance, the legend
of the Stockburn worm. The name of
the man who slew it is preserved, and
is that of well-known north-country
family. His tomb is pointed out in the
ruined church of Stockburn, where
also he lay in cfllgy with the "worm"
at his feet until, the sacred edifice fall
ing into decay, the monument was re-
moved to Stoclsburn hall adjacent.
There, too, is preserved the falchion or
sword with which the monster was
slain, and which was shown to every
fresh bishop Of Durham as he entered
his diocese - n custom which only
ceased in the days of Van Mildret, the
last of the prince bishops" In field
close by the stone round which the
''worm" coilcd itself is still to be seen.
This story, SO circums antial in its de-
tails, can hardly be entirely fabulous.
How then did it rise? "The ichthyo-
saurus and plesiosaurus, says s.
Lang, 'gave Tennyson the dragons of
the prime" May not some descendant
of thes" creatures have fingered in re-
mote places, one here and another
there, even in historic times2
