1t does not look as if there would be
that wild chase after records on bicycle
that marked the close of last seasons rae
ing. People would rather see a man win
a good race than break dozen records,
and the riders are beginning to observe
this fact.

the editor of the Northwest Sportsman
States tudu uo las tdlhcu Win iHoh wiz
have seen the egg hunters gathering
them for market in Alaska and Boring
sea. As the latter editor is much nearer
the seat of war, we are inclinkd to think
he is right. The Seattle Argus has also
taken up the light.
ERobert Bonner is II years old. H.
spends much of his time at his farm al

has distributed hundreds of thousands OF
dollars among the breeders and trainers.
He has paid enormous prices for tho
bes., and never permitted one of his
horses to trot for a wager or to engage in
hippodrome.
There is no curbing the enterprise Of
the New York daily press. When Michael
f. Dwyer returned from Europe an even
ing paper sent out rising journalist to
interview him. The newspaper man did
not find Mr.. Dryer, but that did not
make any difference. He got the Inter
VIEW all tie same. He founu a young
thing to somebody else, and with this for
a starter only little elaboration and en-
Enlistment was necessary TO complete
the INTERVIEW IN which Mr.. Dwyer
was made to say things about the Eng
lish turfmen which he has been busy
denylng ever since. and which has brought
down upon him the censure of the whole
English turf press. AS usual, the Inter
viewer gets somebody else in trouble
and escapes any Inconvenience himself.
