Status of the Bicycle.

CHICAGO, July "A decision of much
Importance to cyclists was rendered
by Judge Payne, when he denied the
petition of John 81. Breckenridge to
compel the Fort Dearborn building
proprietors to allow bicycles to be
stored there by tenants. Brecken-
ridge, who is an attorney with offices
in the Fort Dearborn building sky
scraper, had attempted to leave his
wheel in the basement during office
hours, and upon permission being re-
fused carried the matter to the courts.
Judge Payne declared that bicycles
are mere vehicles and as much out of
place inside a business block as a
horse and buggy.

she's been saved long enough" How ever most all Americans and English, too, that we heard express themselves, felt perfectly sure that Cornell would win. That is, they had witnessed their notoriously quick start and easy, rapid rowing, and had stated they could win on a course Of one and quarter miles, but could not last on a two-mile race, and as the course was only one and a quarter miles we felt confident. A critic in the Lock to Lock- Henley edition termed the Cornell boys dangerous very"
 We'll the bell rang, the course was cleared; our very hearts were in our throats. The Englshman laughingly told his friend to stand close; they were in the minority. The cannon boomed, and the race began. We craned our necks looking down the course for them. The very first sight looks like some long winged bird dipping it's white wings in the stream. We could see to the umpire's launch cutting the water just behind: we strained our eyes to catch a glimpse of Leander, to know which was ahead; no Leander, so we shouted for our boys; the college yell was given Cornell. "I yell I yell, yell, Cornelli" with charac- teristic American exhuberance and our boys went sailing by with the easiest, most graceful and rapid movement, that I think astonished all beholders. Still no Leander. I think Lyshall never forget the Englishman's face as he craned his neck, and still no Leander, as he asked, "Well, where are the boys?" Cornell" was placed on the boards. Questioning was rife, and there were all sorts of ru- mors-broke down, stuck in the mud, and all sorts of things. Later we met the Cornell boy from New Orleans that we had met on the Circassia. With him was the captain of the crew. He stated to us that the referee said: "All ready?" Cor nell said hYpS.f p6ar tfXac Tho referee said, "Offr Cornell gave her ac- customed quick start, and Leander gave four strokes and shouted, Not ready" but Cornell went straight on, and the umpires followed.
 Today's papers state that the referee "presumed' that Leander said "Yes," but say nothing about the four strokes. al- though the two boys told us they saw them take the four strokes.
 Some of our American friends said they wished through courtesy the Cornell boys had come back, but in speaking to Eng lishmen on the grounds they said that Cornell did perfectly right, and when the referee said "off" the rules were to go at all hazard. So our boys won the Grand Challenge Cup" and expressed opinions were rife on the grounds that it was put up by the Leanders that they should win the cup, but no glory. However, the af- fair debars the Leanders from any pos sible triumphs in the finals and to Cor nell goes the victory. We were all radi- ant over the victory, but egretted-could not help it-that we had not had the pleasure of seeing the Leanders in con- trast about three lengths behind. Ohl it was an event in our trip; nothing could surpass the beauty and gorgeousness of a day at Henley, made interesting and attractive to us by the presence and par ticipation and victory of our own Cor nell boys.

BrRM1NaHAM's OPPORTUNITY.

There has been feeling clearly shown
 fcom the beginning of the movement to
 have Alabama represented at the Atlanta
 Exposition until the present, by almost
 the entire remainder of the State. that
 such an exhibit would be more to the ad-
 vantage of Birmingham than any other
 portion. As for Birmingham herself there
 has been no such assumptions; none
 of those of her citizens who have been
 active in furthering that enterprise have ever expressed other sentiments than that such an exhibit would prove advan- tageous to the entire State, as it undoubt- edly will.
 It has been a little surprising that Montgomery should feel that inasmuch as she had only agricultural interests to advance, she would therefore let her part in erecting the Alabama building almost go by default, when in reality
 Montgomery has, perhaps. as much or
 more at stake than any other city in the State. Look at the recent sales of 3S 900 acres of land for colonization pur- poses right at her doors This means largely increased trade for every line of business in that city, and yet with a proper exhibit at Atlanta, and an intel ligent following up of the opportunities that will certainly be found there for similar sales of land and location of set tiers, there is no estimating the benefits that can accrue from it.
 But if other cities will not be alive to their own interests in this exhibit, Bir- mngham must certainly reap all from it | she can. There will, no doubt, be many | opportunities of advantage to Birming- | ham at that exposition, and to reap the | best possible results from them the Com mercial Club should be made as strong | as possible between now and the open 1 ing of that exposition, so it can in an l intelligent and organized manner take | advantage of all opportunities presented | for Birmingham's advancement.

The German Was All That Could Be Wished
 Frank Pettus' Candidacy Again.

Frank Pettus' Candidacy Again.
 Demopolis, July 20.-(Special Corre- spondence.)-Despite the excessive heat of the day and the rain of the evening quite good crowd gathered in the ar mory last Thursday night to take part in the german given by the young men of this town. It was expected to have made a big day of last Thursday, but the sudden and lamentable death of one of the young men of Forkland made it i'm possible for their baseball team to come down, and hence cut off a good portion of the crowd that would have attended. The game was postponed until Tuesday next, when it will be played at Webbs park.
 Although the game of ball was to have been the feature of the day, yet when it was found out that it would have to be postponed the boys threw all their energy into the dance and right well were they repaid for 1t, for it has been many a day since a more enjoyable one was ever given in Demopolis. To say hat Zoe Collins led the german is to say that it was made up, of excellent and artistic figures, for his superior in this line does not live in this part of the state. Joe" is grace itself, and when he is secured to lead the german is assured success Among the visitors present were: Misses Mabel Robinson and Louise Garber of Gallion Misses Cole man of Daleville, Miss; Misses Lemoyne Phares of Belmont and Daisey Weller of Louisville, Ky. Messrs. Duggar and Sen ator Browder of Gallion I. A. Levy and Alfred Glover of Forl1land, and Eugene Mckee of Belmont.
 In an interview with one of our most prominent men. who has just returned from Montgomery, your correspondent asked him what he heard of Frank Pet tuS candidacy. He said that he had not heard much about it in Montgomery, but that the general impression in Selma was that he was going to make the race. He said it was also reported that there was an understanding among those who composed the fishing party, of whom he was one and from which trip they have just returned, that there was to be no politics spoken of while on board and it is thought that MT. Pettus is now in Mo- bile with the boys mapping out the cam paign.
 The Faunsdale detachment of the Sel- ma Guards, Company A, Third regiment Alabama state troops, are sending out cards inviting their friends to a ball to be given in the academy hall at Fauns- dale on the night of July 23. This detach- ment was formerly known as the Fauns- dale detachment of the Pelham Guards, Company E, Third regiment, Alabama state troops, of Uniontown, but there arose some misunderstanding between them last month, and upon request to Colonel Fillmore they were transferred to the Selma Guards. This is their first en- tertainment since their transfer and your correspondent trusts it will be as suc- cessful as they deserve, for finer set of boys is not to be found on earth.
 Your correspondent is glad to report that Colonel Fillmore is fast recovering from his recent attack and will soon be all right again.
 MT. Joe Sterne. the poet-orator of the Central City, was one of our visitors to- day.
