BOARD OF TRADE ORGANIZED.
A Start Made for Body That VIII
Work for Freeland.

|
The first start in the line of organiz-
ing board of trade in town was made
on Tuesday evening, when, in answer to
the call published in the local news
papers last week, large number of cit
liens who are interested in Freeland's S
advancement met at the opera house.
The meeting was opened by d. j. Nc
Carthy, who briefly explained the OBJ
jects and aims of an organization of this
character.
A temporary organization was form
ed by the election of Hugh Malloy
as chairman and John II. Trevaskis as
secretary.
M. >. Weidner, secretary Of the Allen
town board of trade, was introduced,
and he gave short history of how the
enterprising citizens of that city had
worked to make it the industrial centre
that it is today, how they offered finan-
cial assistance to every employer of
labor who desired to locate worthy in
dustry there and called attention to the
beneficial results of their work.
Allentown now ranks with any city of
It's size In the union in regard to diversi-
fed industries, and this has been accom-
plished almost solely by the activity of
the board OF trade, which is continually
encouraging every manufacturing firm,
however large or small, to make that
city its headquarters. Mr.. Wedner ad-
vised his audience to organize immedia-
tely, and to work unitedly and system
atically for the towns interest.
Several other citizens made brief re-
marks upon the subject, some Offering
suggestions as to which class of factor
les would be the best to look for and
others mentioning small plants which
could probably be brought here if rea
sonable offers were made to the owners.
The feeling of those present seemed
to be unanimous in favor of making a
start as soon as practicable, and it was
decided that all who have been enrolled
as members shall meet at the council
room, If that place can be secured, on
wednesday evening of next week, when
permanent organization will be eff
fected, officers will be elected and an
active hunt started for industries that
will employ the idle labor of town.
An informal meeting of some of the
most active workers of the new board
OF trade was held at the residence of d.
j. Mccarthy last evening. Superinten-
dent Daniel Coke, of the D. S. & s., was
present in response to an invitation, and
several matters of local Importance were
considered, among them being the ex-
tension of the d. S. & S. to town and
the building of an electric railway sys-

Following the recommendation made by prom

year past, the sliding seat will be limited In

six inches and the sail area will be absolutely
restricted TO 1875 square feet But one rig will

though OF exactly the same dimensions. will
be allowed to race in the same class with them.

local builder, who will contract to build canoes
from the design chosen, at q fixed price. which
Will be very moderate IL Is believed that tho
new boats can be built for Sl25 each, and can
be fully equipped for racing for S25 more. This
is in marked contrast to the cost Of the present
racing machine, which Is about $500.
The new class will be under the patronage of
the Marine and Field Club. which will give q
special race for II at It's annual canoe regatta on
the last Saturday in June. The New York
Canoe Club will probably also arrange n race
for them, oubtless will the other local clubs.
Paul Butler, the ex-champOn sailer of the
American Canoe Association, now member of
its Board Of Governors has expressed himself
very favorably toward the new class and has
stated that he will build and race in II at the
meet IL II is successful in these waters. A spe-
cal race for the new boats will be given at the
canoe meet next summer IL enough of the boats
to make race are present.
The object Of the promoters of the new type Is
to establish restricted racing cl ass In which all
the boats shall be exactly alike in design and
build. There will, in consequence. be no ad-
vantage to any one man; every one will be upon
an equal footing, and the best sailer will win the
race
The advocates of the new class also believe
that II Will restore the interest in canoe racing
and insure a lively season of sport next sum-
mer. They also believe that 1t will retain in
canoing many who are now drifting into small
yachts and yawls and, perhaps. when the pres
ent tendency among yachtsmen toward small
and restricted classes is considered, may even
result in new converts for can0inR.
The accompanying sketch shows, In general
way, the model of the new type.

BICYCLEs ON EIHIBITION.
Wide spread Interest Manifested In the Dis

The exhibition OF bicycles and sundries at
Madison Square Garden is great success. On
Saturday evening d number of the exhibits
were unfinished. but yesterday afternoon, when
the doors were thrown open. everything was In
readiness for inspection. and the various booths
were ablazc with electric lights and bunting.
Over 1000 persons inspected the various types
OF wheels during the afternoon. The afternoon
was devoted to the appointment of agents for
different parts OF the country. In the evening
about 5000 persons visited the Garden. in
spected the different makes of bicycles and wit
messed the performances OF fancy riding.
An examination of the various exhibits shows
but slight change in the various wheels. The
one object OF the manufacturers is to reduce the
weight OF the road and racing wheels without
impairng their strength. The weight of the
average wheels this year Is twenty-one pounds
est to all the visitors. 1t is maintained that
these wheels are neat In appearance, compare;

which, under the present rules, would fail as
utterly as did last years.
In this emergency a number Of prominent
members of the local canoe clubs have deter
mhed to take action. independent of the Amer
ican Canoe Association. for the purpose Of saw
ing local canoing during the coming season.
The prime mover in the enterprise is William s.
Elliott of tho Marine and Field Club. Associated
with him are l.. l.. Coudert Of the New York
Canoe Club, William II. Cammeyer of the Brook
lyn Canoe Club. William J. Stewart Of the
Ianthe Canoe Club OF Newark. and Schuyler
schieffelin OF the New York Canoe Club, all of
whom are prominent members both Of their own
clubs and of the American Canoe Association.
The specifications have been drawn for a
canoe Of a modern and distinctly novel type.
and each Of the above men has
agreed to build such a boat at once and to race
II In these waters during the coming season.
1t 10 expected that the announcement OF the
new class will cause several other men in the
local clubs to build similar canoes. and that
there will be quite fleet of them in the water
by the time the season opens. 1t Is confidently
expected that at least ono member each OF tine

Fixing Up ths nlg Ha..s.n Deal.

Andrew Freedman said yesterday that the big
baseball deal had not been closed yet. but that
IL would be in very few days. The hitch is
caused by necessary inspection OF the certih-
Gates OF stock and the new lease of Manhattan
Field and the Polo grounds. AS soon as Mr.
Freedman's lawyers have looked these matters
over thoroughly the cash will be paid over and
the papers will be signed. Then Mr., Freedman
will have conference with Manager Davis, and
the policy Of the club will be made known.

NEWPORT. r. l.. Jan. 21.-It is more tnan
likely that Newport will take measures to mako
the races for the choice OF cup defender OF
great interest by offering one or two valuable
cups for the contests, provided they sailed
over the Newport courses. The scheme was
talked over to-day, and the committee in charge
of the cup defence will be asked at an early date
to have the races sailed here II they can see
their way clear, money for the cups will be
raised by popular subscription among Newport
merchants.
Already there Is much interest. though no
effort has yet been made to further the scheme.
III any cups are offered. therefore, they will be
the finest OF the season. Only one objection, IL
is thought, could be urged against racing here
and that is that 1t might be best for shippers TO
become accustomed to the New York courses by
having the trial races over them rather than
elsewhere.

WILL NOT AID THE COURTS.
How the Police OmeiaIs Stand In the vir-
EiniA Race-traek War.


WASHINGTON. Jan. 2l.-Since the Virginia
authorities took up the matter OF the Alexander
Island track. those interested in the prosecution
have been engaged in collecting evidence
against that course. Judge Norton OF the
United States Circuit Court Of the Eastern
District of Virginia has called upon Inspector
Hollinberger at Police Headquarters to secure
afifavits from the members OF the detective
force against the Alexander Island track and
jackson City's resorts.
Nothing had been mentioned about st. Asaph's
track. the only violation of tho law that the
Virginia authorities had discovered having
been the Alexander Island track. When the
papers were prepared for signatures the Police
Department objected to saddling all the viola
tion OF the law upon the two places mentioned,
and ignoring the St. Asaph track, where pool
room Is In operation.
New papers were prepared. but when they
were found TO include st. Asaph's track the
Virginia authorities refused to act on them.
The Metropolitan Police Department" said
Inspector Hollinberger, lis not maintained for
the purpose OF assisting one crowd OF Virginia
gamblers to down another crowd. We consider
that both race tracks and jackson City are a
menace 10 the public good. and the sooner they
are abolished the better for the public in gen
eral"
Thus the matter stands. On Wednesday ar
Ruments in the Injunction against the Old Do

eight or nine years various games were run aud
the horses played at all seasons tanks he has
solved the problem OF how TO beat the Anti-Pool
Room law. Last spring, soon as he WAS raided
under the operation of the crusade against pool
rooms, he organized, under legal advice, the
Municipal Telegraph Company. which was duly
Incorporated.
The business OF the company was to transmit
over their alleged LEASED wires" wageTs on
horses scheduled 10 run at the different race
tracks. The pretence was trlhe tiimsy then,
and Mack closed up. To-day he opened with
two telegraphiC keys and saunders, two opera

Company" Mack Is President, and he offered
to take messages or send money az the regular
rates charged by the Western Union or Postal

lecting evidence against tho new white House"
game and have appliea for a warrant. Mack
says he Is not alarmed. as he declares that he Is
not running pool room, but Is only transmit
ting money and messages TO the race tracks.
