DIRaE OF CUPID.

Old Time, upon a certain day, when In the
Green Park strolling,
Met Cupid walking listlessly along the
gravel track;
Adown his apple blossom cheeks the heed
less tears were rolling,
And his sanity little azure wings hung
dropping on his back.

thus thine heart Is laden3

"Alnsl" cried Cupid, sadly, while his
pearly tears flowed faster,

BICYCLE MANAGES.
Persons of Both Sexes Have Wheels In
Their Heads.

People who have not the faculty Of
great enthusiasm for any sport can
never understand how absorbing wheel
ing becomes to many of its votaries
says Chicago writer. We have heard
of cycling minister Of the gospel, who
declared 1t to be one Of the mistakes
of the Creator that men were not born
with wheels.
Not long ago the newspapers printed
the letter OF a woman who had desert.
ed her husband. He was found by the
doctors to be suffering from lbicychloris,
and was prohibited from riding. under
penalty Of death. She confessed her
self bicychlomaniac, declared her
wheel was dearer to her than her hus-
band or any object under heaven, and
she could no longer bind herself TO one
who could not spend his waking hours
on the wheel Morphomania, nor any
other habit, will compare with this for
intensity
One has only to converse with a con-
firmed and inveterate wheeler to be
convinced Of the maniacal possibilities
Of the habit 1t ds very difficult to
arouse him to any interest In anything
else. No matter what subject is
broached. his mind will wander away
from 1t and back to his wheel We
seem to be only at the beginning OF
mania that Is to be more widespread
and deep-seated than ever was base
ball. Each year the number OF wheel
men doubles. and the proportion Of
scorchers. those who have wheels In
their heads as we'll as under them. may
be expected to increase. in a higher
ratio.
Scorching is the outward and obvious
symptom of blcychlOmania, and by this
sign are the incurables to be dIstin-
guished from the rational creatures,
who use the wheel In moderat ton as a
pleasure. or for its practical utility.

BancrOft's Memory.

Frank Bancroft's memory always
fails him when he unexpectedly meets
chance acquaintance. He knows that
the face Is familiar, but when and
where he has seen 1t is riddle. This
particular weakness has placed him in
more than one embarrassing situation.
The other day he saw In q street car q
girl whom he was perfectly sure he had
met often before. He sat down beside
the young woman, who was evidently
fiattered by the attention. Chatting
away with her in lively fashion, ne
soon discovered that they knew the
same people. Accordingly he was con-
fldent that ne had been introduced to
her at the house of some friend. Ban
croft thought she was a very pleasant
girl. and one who showed him marked
respect. Consequently he took courage
and said:
"Oh, Miss er-er. / beg perdOn. but I
should like to call on you. Won't you

DEFENDER BACKS DOWN.
Her Shippers Dared Not Finish the First
Trial Race with the vigiiant-Breczc

Britishcrs Jubilant.

Britishcrs Jubilant.
New York, Aug. 2O.-The first OF the
trial races to decide wether the De-
fender or the Vigilant shall be selected
to defend the Americas cup which was
sailed here today. resulted In a disap-
pointment all around. The Defender,
after outsailing her rival decisively
over the first round. and continuing to
increase her lead for several miles on
the second, suddenly withdrew from the
race and stood off for a run back to her
anchorage. This was, due apparently
to disinclination to risk the sloop fur
ther In the strong and steadily increas-
ing breeze which had blown up since
the race started.
Mr.. Iselin and the others on the De-
fender would not admit that a mishap
had occurred and there was no indica-
tons OF any. This made the Britishers,
who were watching the contest with
eagerness, only the more jubilant, as
1t looked very much like backdown.
and they believe the Valkrie III can
stand near any kind Of weather.
Vigilnnt Keeps Her Course.
After the Defenders retreat the Vigi-
liant kept sturdily on her course, beat
ing up into a forty-mile wind and
pouidiiS
ling sea. Even after she had split her
new Herreshoff jlb she ran ahead, and In
few minutes continued sticking to her
work. When she had completed about
three-quarters of the second wlndward
beat she was recalled by the Judges,
who assured Mr.. Willard that the race
was ended and the Vigilant was the
winner.
Yachtsmen are feeling rather glum
tonight over the result Of the race, as
1t would seem to show a weakness In
the Defender In the one important
point in which she had been thoroughly
tested. The experts had been express
ing the hope all along that In the trial
races the Defender would have a chance
to show what she could do In a stiff
wind. II she Is to turn out too tender
for such work, 1t is not hopeful augury
for her races in Septembers gales with
the stanch and broad-beamed Valkyrie.
The Vigilant's victory will not neces-
sarily affect the Defenders claim to
represent America In the coming races.
