An EScursiOnixt Complaint.

To the Editor Of The Evening S,ar:
Have you ever considered what differ
ence il makes whether you carry a box or
basket for your fruit ard cake on an
evenings ride down the river? / never had
till last Saturday when / was told Sc
riously by three officials Of the Manchester
that, although boxes could be carried I'D
on deck, baskets could not My basket was
about eight inches square. So the only al
tentative seemed to be that my wife would
have 70 go below" every time she desired
peach or a pear. When said officials
were asked why such a discrimination was
made. they only stared and said that II was
"agtC the rules of the boat" But nv bov
was more than match for them He took
a newspaper and brought the fruit I'D in
sections, and thus my wife was relieved
from the unpleasant alternative alluded to
Another thing was "agin the rules Of the
boat You were permitted to go on the
hurricane deck" provided you were con-
tented TO sit five hours on camp stool
Vacant chairs there were on the deck be-
low by scores, but they could not be occu-
pied FOE some inscrutable reason
II really is pity that on such a hot
night. when seeking for relief from all
kinds of vexation. the boat officials should
have found II necessary TO enforce such ex-
ceedingly foolish rules, and thus mar the
enjoyment Of what would otherwise have
been very pleasant evening

The Police, the Whcelman and the
Street Car.

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
The following appears In a local morn
Ing paper of this date:
Officer ]. A DuvaI of the bicycle squad
last night arrested Paxton Hart, a seven
teen-year-old white boy, and at the ninth
precinct station charged him with fast
riding ON a bicycle. Duvan was watch
ing the bicyclist and timing him by cable
car. supposed TO be running at least eight
miles hour. In two squares the rider
gained. according 20 Duvalis calculation,
about 30 feet, keeping up regular speed
and lot slowing up at street crossings
Collateral deposited for Harris Ap-
pearance in Police Court today"
Why this persecution? My understand
Ing IS that under our laws street cars also
must SLOW down to five (5D miles per
hour at street crossings As 1t is stated.
the officer based his arrest on the fact
that the bicyclist was pacing a car run
ming AT least eight miles an hour" and
did not slow down at crossings. In dog
ging the wheelHan did the officer observe
whether The car was being run IN com
plia4ce with the law? II has never heen
my good fortune to see this done, and 1t
is safe 10 assume ii was not done in this
case, unless the car happened to be stop
ped when its progress coult not have been
used for a comparison OF speed
Why did not the officer 10 his plain and
full Guty by also prosecuting thu railroad
people? The polics are Ordered" to pros
ccute b!cycl!s-s, perhaps because they are
easier prey, while IL is pointed out b. our
public servants (who are paid for action
rather than advice) that any public spirit
ed citizen may work up case against
these other notorious and continual vto-
lators of a similar law. thus taking the
easy duty for themselves and leaving the
thankless task 20 the public who nav
them If this enterprising officer should
take the trouble to time some OF our rapid
transit cars he might, nay. I'll venture to
say he Will, find plenty OF material for
record making. I'll venture further to
say he Will find that these cars not only
do not slow down to the pace called for
by law. but that they run across street
crossings at a much faster rate of speed
than the law allows between crossings

CRICKET GAMES ABROAD


LOUISVILLE. KY. August 1O.-The an
nual cyclists outing, the national racing
meet of the l.. A. W., will begin In this city
today. Louisville probably has as many
devotees of the wheel In proportion to her
population as any city in the country, and
every one of these enthusiasts has labored
In the sweltering heat Of the past two
weeks to make good the promises made in
Baltimore In the early spring that the
seventeenth annual meet should be the
greatest ever held.
The feature Of the week will, Of course,
be the championship races at Fountain
Ferry Park. Liberal prizes have been Of
fered for amateurs and the professionals,
and every racing man In the United States
who has any speed at all, is entered. The
six national cha mpionships will be contest
ed from start to finish.
AS made up. the list includes IA names.
OF these 81 are professionals and so anna
tours. Twentyfour states and 40 cities
are repI esented. They include the we'll
known circuit chasers Sanger. Cooper, Bald.
Bliss. Zeigler. the Coburns, Gardiner and
many others; Jay Eaton, who recently
lowered an indoor competition record at
Nashville, j. w. Parsons, the Australian,
whose recent performances at Chicago
have aroused a great deal of interest in the
attempts at record breaking he will make
here; Johnny johnson, A. D. Kenney and
others Of this team, together with ambi-
ttous but less-noted pedlers from all parts
of the country.

been temporarily settled. AS cabled to the
Associated Press on Saturday, the Surrey
Cricket Club. as organizers Of the match
met the demands Of the strikers by en-
gaging other professionals In their places
But Richardson, Abel and Hayward have
submitted to the terms Of the committee
and were included among the members Of
the English team, after a prolonged dis
cussion.
As previously announced the public was
doubly excited by the hurt inflicted upon
the national pride in haggiing over such a
question in connection with the national
sport aid fears were expressed that the
Englishmen would be beaten II their five
best professionals did not play.
On the other hand, the members Of the
Surrey Cricket Club were indignant at the
manner in which the demand for higher pay
was sprung upon them just before the final
test match between the representative
teams of England and Australia, the strik-
ing professionals imagining that their serv-
Ices could not be dispensed with and claim
ing that the Surrey Cricket Club will prob
ably make Fl, 500 G7.5OO out of the match.
1t was on this basis that the players claim
ed they deserved a bigger share Of the
profits, pointing to the fact that many
amateurs received more money in expenses
than the professionals received IN wages.
