Victoria, 3. c., Dec. II. "A. A. Zim.
merman is still the king of the cycling
path, and though in his first race on
Australian soil be took second place to
Parsons, who thereby leaped into fame,
the supremacy of the antipodean was
short-ived.
1t was a two-days' championship
meeting of tho New South Wales
League Of Wheelmen which opened at
Sydney, November 9Th that thinner
mans opportunity to redeem himself
came. 1t was in half mile champion
ship his greatest triumph came. when,
at the turn into the stretch he jumped
| from the bunch in, which he had been
with the cracks-Parsons, Iredele and
Lewis-his mighty rush carrying him
past the winning post winner by 80
or 40 yards. His rivals seemed stand
ing still, while 10000 spectators
seemed paralyzed with surprise.
So stupefed," as the Sydney
Herald, copies OF which arrived on tho
Miowera expressed it, THAT they for
got their voices till the wizard leisurely
pedalled back to the pavilion, modestly
refusing the honor of being mounted
shoulder high and carried to his quar-
ters. Then the enthusiasm Of the spec
tators found vent, and the most sensa-
tional ride ever made by cyclist under
Australian skies was rewarded by such
a shout Of unbounded enthusiasm as
the performance deserved" 2"
The preliminary heats had left but
four candidates for championship
honors. unquestionably the strongest
quartet ever brought together in Aus
tralia; Zimmerman of Am erica, j. W.
Parsons and p. G. IreClele of Victoria,
and r. W. Lewis of New South Wales.
Parsons had the pole with Iredele sec
ond, Lewis third and Zimmerman out
side. Parsons made the pace in the first
half, Zimmerman following behind
Lewis. Finishing the first circle, the
American closed up and Lewis spurted
desperately, believing the fight had
commenced.
Jimmy" quietly dropped back and
trailed the procession, resting calmly
content until the last turn, when his
feet found wings and he flew around
on the outside, leaving his rivals as
though standing still. Thirty-five yards
were made from the picked men of
Australia in less than 200 yards, and
though Parsons was second it was not
a place in the same class as the cham.
pion. The time, Lie 3-5, counts for
little, as Australia does not believe in
pacing.
Jimmy" polished the last quarter
in less than 80 seconds. The mile was
practically duplicated in all save time,
which was 224.

Mr.. BAyARD DECLINED TO TALK.

lie Would Not Discuss the Barrett Resoiu.
tlon with the Reporters Who Called Upon
Him.
Associated Press Dispatch BY Special Wires
London Dec. 1.-THE United States
embassy was besieged at an early hour
to-day by newspaper reporters anxious
to obtain the views of Ambassador
Bayard upon the demand for his i'm
peachment which was made yesterday
in the House Of Representatives at
Washington by Congressman William
L. Barrett,
But all attempts to induce Mr.. Bay
ard or his staff to discuss the matter
failed while the British officials also
declined to make any statements ON
the subject.
Delaware gazette and state journal., 1895-12-12

The first important question Of the
meeting was the fixing Of the date of
the convention.
The executive committee reported a
resolution favoring June 10th, which
was agreed to.
Then cameSthe main contest between
the cities There was much excite
ment as the ballots proceeded, the COM
mitteemen from the interested sections
hurrying about and seeking to effect
combinations. At the outset San Fran.
cisco secured one more than the 19
claimed from the first. The announce.
ment OF her lead was greeted with en-
thusiasm when it reached the outer
corridors The strength of st. Louis
was somewhat greater than bad been
expected, while neither .Pittsburg nor
Chicago made the showing anticipated.
st. Louis gained steadily on each bal
lot San Francisco sought to meet this
by drawing the votes of Chicago, but
without avail. The first serious break
occurred when David Martin of Penn
sylvania, led the Pittsburg forces toward
st. Louis. On the fourth and last for.
NAL ballot San Francisco forces broke
for the first time, Michigan, Wyoming
and Connecticut going to st. Louis.
That settled it and gave st. Louis the
convention. The choice was made
unanimous on motion of Mr.. DeYoung
Of San Francisco.
