to his concert. Mr.. Reeves labors have been
indefatigahle, and have resulted in musical
organization than which none is moro noted
for the excellence and artistic qualities OF its
work. and the fiLsness and finish Of its per-
formances- Il is known all over the country,
from Maine 10 Oregon, and from Canada to
the Gulf. and its splendid reputation is due
chiefly to the mastery manner in which it
has been conducted. and its affairs managed
by MIR. Reeves during the past three decades.
In "Sowipg tho Wind" which comes again
TO the Providence Opera House tonight to-
morrow night and Wednesday matinee and
night, Mr.. sydney Grundy has not proclaimed
in so many words the moral of his story
rather has no insinuated IL, and left il to the
intelligence of his hearers 10 gather his quick
truths and apply them to the realities of life.

tised. Many riders in the country do not
know what it is in existence for. One
tremendous effort should be made this
coming winter to enlist in the cause So 600
wheelmen who have no idea OF what con-
stitutes the l.. A. W., but who would
readily enter the ranks were the facts but

corded the officers of the North California
Division for the good work they have
done during the first half of their admin

deavoring to increase the mem bership and
cater to the wants and reeds of the present
mem bers.
The San Francisco Road Club will have
run to Lake Piiarcitos tomorrow, leav-
Ing the clubhouse at 9 A. NJ, under Cap

Sunday, and had splendid time.
Allan N. Jones of the Olympic Club
Wheelmen will make another attempt on

afternoon near Mountain View, if the con-

are favorable.
Charles A. Kraft of the Bay City Wheel
men will try for the American twenty
mile road record early in Septem Der,

| shooting in this section of the country

events on the tapis as there are during

PUGILISTIC NEWS.
The Eyes OF the Sporting World
Are at Present on This City.

The Eyes OF the Sporting World
Are at Present on This City.
The gladiatorial world at present Is at
fever heat. Fighting is in the very air,
and as the sports draw the saturated ozone
into their lungs it is only to whiff it out
with the keen satisfaction which comes
from perfect knowledge that their de-
slres for series of fistic bouts are about
to be realized. This, of course, excepts
the police, who have a peculiar way of
making themselves welcome at the wrong
time.
The star feature of the coming pugilistic
carnival is the "go'' between big Joe Nc
Auliffe, the mission Giant" and Joe
Choynski, surnamed the 'iChrysanth-
emum" Greater interest is taken in this
feature than would otherwise have been
done owing to the fact that McAuliffe had
come to be regarded-with a single excep-
tlon-as back number. That exception
was old Barney Farley, whose name is
synonym for sportsman in this whole
broad State.
Barney chung to Joe tenaciously through
thick and thin. Never did his confidence
In his big charge abate in the least. AS
barney would rise for his morning consti-
tutlonal at break of day his eyes would
always turn to the golden chariot wheel
ing over the Western hills, and his lips
fondly murmur: "Some day you will
rise and view Joey the prince of them all"
Even SO. McAuliffe is now matched to
battle with Choynski, and in case OF vic
| tory will stand a fair chance to win the
fame his faithful trainer so unselfishly
covets for him.
Under Barney's iudicious training Nc

1t is a general axiom in adjusting to
have to loose rather than too tight bear
ing Wheels should spin freely and the
valve weight should rock them to and 1ro
for many minutes. Mere lifting of q
machine ought to set the wheels moving
unless the valves happen to be exactly at
the bottom of the wheels. A little side
play in bearings is not harmful but a
tightened bearing may jamb or fire. and is
at any rate very hard to drive. Careless
cyclists would do well to remember that
inattention to the cleaning and lubrica-
cation of their machine greatly shorten
its life. OF course everyone knows this,
but many proceed as though they did not,

in the ruddy hue of his complexion, his
clear, bright eye and the air of confidence
with which he is i'm bued. When Joe De-
gan training his weight was 280 pounds;
he Is now at 225 pounds, and has I'LL
August 70 to reach his fighting weight
2l5 pounds. Certainly if McAuliffe is de-
feated IN the coming contest no one can
set up the claim that he was not in proper
condition.
Choynski does his training entirely al
his home on Golden Gate avenue and the
Olympic Club. In the morning ne
punches the bag and boxes Lon Agnew
and Henry Gallagher at home and in the
afternoon George Green and Peppers spar
with him at the club. Joe has been
"guyed" so much here lately over his in
genlous idea of using spring shoes to
reach his burly opponents head that 1t Is
hard to induce him to do much talking
over the coming fight.
The uext event on which the sporting
eye is lntently focused is the Jeffrles- v an
Buskirk match. Those who saw Jeffrles
do battle with Dan Long of Denver are
thoroughly convinced that he is fated to
be another Sullivan. Van Buskirk will
certainly have no such dub" as Jack
Davis on his hands when he meets the
hard-hitting Los Angeles boy.
Fasteners at present are turning their
attention to the match lately arranged be-
tween George Dixon and Tommy White,
Chlcago's champion feather weight.
Dixon is indisputably a wonder, and has
so Iar refused to surrender the laurels to
anybody. White has come to the front
rapidly and has already good string OF
victories to his credit. Among those who
have sustained defeat at his hands are
Jack Burge, Larry Burns. Marty McCue,
Harry APPEL, John Van Heest and Dan
Mcbride. The contest will last twenty
rounds, and will take place September Is
at the new clubhouse of the Broadway
Athletic Club on Broadway.
"Y Young" Mitchell, who is rusticating
with his invalid wife In Browns Valley,
Napa County, is expected back in good
time for the series of events scheduled to
take place under the auspices of the new
Occidental Club at Woodward's Pavilion,
August 25.
Among the bouts to take place at that
time will be- one betw cen picked men OF
the San Francisco and Phoenix Athletic
clubs.
The story is now going the rounds that
Jim Corbett is to blame for having pre-
vented the Maher-Choynski fight. He is
said to have written letter to Maher tell
ing him that he could not get square
deal in San Francisco, as Choynski had
frienos of influence who would induce the
police to stop the contest if it were going
against him.
Maher showed this letter to young
Mitchell in the presence of William
Daley, and asserted that as he trusted
Jim he would not fight even for purse OF
$4,000.
Danny Needham, who arrived in New
York last Saturday, viii. train Sharkey for
his fight with Corbett. Needham is out
for some fighters scalp himself, and says
he is open to any man in his class.

With the novice record at 2:05 3-5. there
are no more efforts made to reduce that
mark. Last year saw the novice record
lowered several times, but the system of
pacing in novices has been done away
with, and Harry Clark, the champion, who
is also something of an unpaved rider, is
apt to retain his honors for an indefinite
period. Chairman Gideon of the racing
board has set his ban on pacing in novice
events. He argues wisely that beginners
have no idea of following pace and conse-
quently many of them get no possible
show to win.
The membership IN the League Of Amer
ican Wheelmen has been steadily on the
increase. 1t seems to have gathered new
impetus, but efforts should not be laggard
to double the number of riders that now
belong to this popular organization. Its

ishment in the interest in outdoor sport.
The anglers are now whipping mountain
streams and reporting full baskets, while
cyclists continue to raise dust on every
country road.

fights continue to rumble, kept in motion
by rumors of new conflicts.
