Training for cycle races, like pre-
pairing for other competitions, involves
skill and endurance. 1t requires hard
work and the sacrifice Of many pleas
tires. A man to be Il successful rider
must attend strictly to business or
he can never hope to become cham
pion. There are many ways OF prepar-
ing ones self for a seasons campaign
on the cycle track. The one which I
learned from experience gives the
best satisfactory results consists OF a
thorough cleansing of the system be-
fore training, and then a close appli-
cation to the schedule Of work laid
out each day by your trainer. When
the time to condition myself for the
opening Of the racing season arrives
I give myself a good physic and go
to the Hot Springs for a 'boiling out. :"
This treatment results in purifying my
blood and puts me in good condition
for the strains on my system that fol-
low. After a short stay at Hot Springs
l journey to Savannah, Ga, where
there is a fine cement track.
My first work in the direction of a
complete course of training consists
Of 4 few spins on the road, followed
by good rub down. The latter is the
most essential thing in training for it
takes all the stiffness out of the mus
clcs. A trainer who can lub man
we'll is worth his weight in gold. A
bit of advice to beginners is always
wear a sweater. 1t absorbs the per-
spi1ation and keeps the body warm.
A slight cold is apt to put a man back
in his work for several weeks. Be
careful of draughts and always clothe
yourself well after a hard practice
spin.
First Track Work.
But to return to my plan of train
ing. After a few road sides go on
the track and in mild way make 4
circuit of it SEVERAL times. Then
arrange q schedule for preliminary
work, which consists Of riding five
miles in the morning and a like num-
Der in the afternoon at a four minute
gait. This l continue for a week. l
generally take my exercise in the
morning at nine o'clock and in the ;lf-
ternoon at three, thus giving my food
plenty of time to digest. The second

hundred yards at a good sprint, about
once a day, and take spins Of from
three to five miles at a good fast clip,
as you must now begin to work for
your wind, and good sweats are essen
tial.
After two weeks Of such work a
rider can begin to repeat in his work.
That is to say, he can go out and ride
a quarter of a mile at top speed, then
come in, take a good rub down, and,
after a rest Of twenty minutes or half
an hour, go and ride it over again at
your best speed. Note the time in
each trial, and, in fact, in all your
trials. Then you can see how yoa are

TRIPLE QUERY.
What was the gunpowder plot? When
was il discovered? Why Is the day Of its
discovery celebrated by the Orang'
Lodges?
The gunpowder plot was an attempt TO
blow up the English Parliament at its
assembling in 1905. 1t was conceived by
Robert Catesby early in 1904; he was a
Roman Catholic, and the plot was that OF
number OF individual Catholics. The
leaders were Catesby, Percy, Sir Everard
Digby, lockwood, Winter and Guy
Faux. They hired house next TO the
Parliament House, undermined the lat
ter, and placed gunpowder there. The
intention was TO fire the mine when the
Commons were in the House Of Lords lis
tening TO the Kings speech. The plot
was BETRAYED the evening before the
opening Of Parliament on November 4,
1865. We do not know that the Orange
men especially celebrate the day; II they
DO. II is because the plot was Catholic;
it's discovery a cause Of Protestant
Thanksgiving.

High Water Causes Much Loss and In

"a report from Bellaire. o., Wednesday
says: At 10 o'clock the Ohio river reached
the highest point and Is now stationary mt 40
feet. The lood scare Is over. The river Is
out Of its banks IN many places, and the loss
to property north and south OF here will
reach over 100000. Hundreds OF houses in
this city aud In small towns south OF here
arc submerged, and theinhabitants are being
taken care OF by relief committees. Many
are camping In fields and on hills, aud great
distress is feared for the sufferers. No deaths
or drownings have been reported.
Railroads entering the city along the river
have TO transfer. Manufactures are closed
down In many places, which throws large
numbers Of people out Of employment. Boats
In their moorings here are safe.
At East Liverpool, the high water caused
an aggregate OF about $1,000 damages In the
potteries. The Thompson Pottery Company,
