arranged. In case racing for money was
re-esta biished, there would be more or
that kind OF work done, and there would
be less effort made to increase speed and
develop faster wheels and riders. Men
hired by firms will ride as fast as they
can to keep good positions, or get better
ones with bigger salaries, but professional
racing for money would merely go In for
making as much money out OF the races
as possible.

Cooper will return TO Chicago and then go

The follow circular letter has been FOR
warded TO all delegates Of the National
Assembly of the League OF American Wheel
men by the '96 League NJ eet Club of Louis
vile:
Louisville wants the 1896 meet of the
L. A. w. You are a delegate to the National
Assembly, which meets February 1S next
You can help US get the meet and we be-
lieve you will when you consider our claims
and compare them with the claims of other
cities for the honor.
PERHAPS you were a delegate or an
attendant at the national meet assembly
held in Louisville in 1894. II you were
here you will remember that the assembly
and the visitors were royalty entertained
IL you were not here you, no doubt, heard
OF the manner in which the assembly was
taken care OF. The wheeltnen who had that
entertainment In charge are the ones now
working for the league meet. AT that time
we had NO thought OF ever asking Tor
national meet. The entertainment then was
merely a sample OF what can be done, and
what is done without expectation or thought
OF the future. 1t is what we call plain,
simple. Kentucky hospitality.
Louisville is dependent entirely upon her
wheeImen and their friends TO work to Sc
cure the meet and to furnish the hospitality
after the meet issecurcd. We have no bicycle
manufacturers here to chip in literally and
boom the city, and incidentally pat in a few
Iicks 10 help along their wheel business
Every manufacturer viii stand an even show
In Louisville. There will be no fayorites
to play.
I've do not make any promise OF the after
effect, but we d o promise that we wiiiieave
no stone unturned to make the Leagues
stay pleasant in our city, and we guarantee
that when it is time to leave, when all Is
over, that you will regret the parting.
"a League meet has never been held In
the South, and for that reason we believe
1t will be of great benefit TO the National
Assembly to hold il in this section the COM
ing summer. We believe the meet Will be
the cause OF bringing hundreds Of members
into the League. Can we not depend upon

The letter is signed by men who have long
been prominent in the cycling world.
Thursday afternoon a largely attended
meeting was held at Nick EDgels for the
purpose OF forming the Ancient and Hon

seer of the Sublime Bleacheries- Charley
Genslinger was made High Treasurer OF
the immaculate Nickyoung Pass The prime
object of the organization is to have the
salary of the President of the United
States increased to S1,000.00O month,
when a determined effort will be made
to force the president OF the New YORK
club to accept the position.
Chicago gave a great reception to Actor
Ansou.
..Here comes old Anse," said everybody
in the gallery when the servant announced
Mr. Adrian. Then the storm broke loose at
the top of the theater-
"Ansei Ausei Anson!" was the cry OF
a hundred voices as soon as anybody could
make out what they were saying. Then
they quieted down and gave their attention
to cheering all his speeches.
"Sayl how he's dressed up! Don't he
look swell, thought" said a man who had
sat a good deal of the summer on the
"blea chers."
Yes" said his comrade, "but you would
know him for all his dude clothes. You
can't disguise old Anse.'"
At last the curtain fell and the gallery
seemed to fall also.
.Rahs'' were mingled with cries for
"Anse' and Bring out the old man!
Drive him out"
But Anson only bowed his acknowledg-
ments from the end of the stage.
So it went through every act.
When the villain scene arrived at the line.
"Bribe Anson! You can't!" the "gods"
said they thought so, too. BULLY for
Anse!" was their way for saying so. NO
He wouldn't do a thing to you," came from
the topmost seat in the house.
But when Anson came before the curtain
after the third act, not even the gallery
applauded. They waited In respectful
silence. 1t is doubtful If stage full of
after-dinner speakers would have COM
maDded more consideration, or any at all.
