HORSEPOWER OF a Bicyclist.

a French scientist has recently made
some experiments which show the
amount OF force developed by some of
our bicycle cracks during a hard race.
American cyclists have maintained for
two minutes a speed to continue which
required the expenditure OF energy rep
resenting two-thirds of one horse
power. For six seconds they were able
to exert the astonishing force of one
and a fourth horse power. This is
equivalent to raising a weight of one
hundred and lightweight pounds l
yard high in one second. Experiments
are also being made to determine the
force exerted by different sports. These
results will be of great use for training
and hygienic data. One of the discov-
cries made during the calculation OF
force exerted by bicyclists is that at
high speed the work of a bicyclist in
covering specified distance is as great
as that of man running the same dis
lance. At moderate speed a runner
undergoes three times the labor Of
bicyclist, but the higher the speed the
nearer are their exertions equahzed.

Wheat opened at about unchanged
prices today and was hammered by the
bears and scaipers all day until within
half an hour of the closing when Pard-
ridge attempted to cover d line
of short wheat and caused the market
to advance full cent in ten minutes.

market has been badly oversolj, aud now
Partridge, Rosencrauz and the bear eIe-
ment. that have been depressing the
market so long on manipulation, Will

back when there is none for sale.
We are on the eve of a big ad-
vance and advise buying on any
weak spots. The big bears and sea Lers
are all short, and will be compelled To
buy their own wheat back, and the con-
sequence will be an advance OF not less
than ten cents and probably much more
as they are short an enormous line, aud

Corn quiet with strong unGeTtone.

Bald, and their trainer, a 5. Windle,
about a month ago, is confined to his

Journalistic Comments on Roses Cup
Challenge.
London, September "a. The Daily
Chronicle says, regarding Mr.. Roses
challenge for the Americas cup, that it
admires the spirit which prompted the
challenge but has little confidence of a
satisfactory result unless the New York
Yacht Club is able to change the course
over which the races are to be sailed. A
fair race is as impossible over the New
York course as would be horse race in
Fleet street at the busiest part of the day.
The Times, commenting upon the
challenge of Rose, repudiates the sug-
gestion that it was his intention to con-
vey dsapproval of Lord Dunrayen' S
course.
1T is quite certain" the Times says,
"that until race can be sailed under
such conditions as will make it test of
seamanship and eliminate the accidents
likely to occur in crowded waterway, it
will not be regarded here with all the in
terest and respect it would otherwise
command. 1t would seem that everything
connected with this cup is in the grasp of
dead hand and nobody is to blame for
the deadlock. We can only suggest that
the cup and the deed of gift be carefully
deposited in the strongest strong room
New York can boast and that somesother
object be found for which yachtsmen may
race under free conditions.
