Editor ofThe Republican.


The convention that will place IN
nomination our candidate for Con-
gress for the 9Th District, Will con-
vene in Oakland August 9th, and
as the time is not far distant and
the candidate selected by this cois-
vention will in all probability rep
resent and look after our interests
in the halls Of congress for the next
two years, it behooves US TO canvass
the field and make no mistake in
the selection of the man.
Garrett county is now twenty
three years old and during that
time has always remained loyal to
the principles of the Republican
party and has steadily increased her
Republican majority from year to
year until she is now the banner
Republican county in the State,
taking all things into consideration.
Notwithstanding these facts, u
standard bearer for congressional
honors has never been taken from
within her borders, or as far as we
know, the name of none of her
worthy sons has never been presen-
ted for the consideration of a Re-
publican convention. We believe
that the people Of the county now
feel that the time has arrived when
we should present our claims and
ask that the nomination should
come here. We also believe that the
other counties composing the district
are ready and willing to recognize
our claims and will heartily support
a Garrett county man, both in the
convention and at the polls. Let
us then look the field over for a
Garrett county man and present the
name of one who is of the people,
for the people and who will be nomi-
mated and elected by the people;one
who has resided long enough in the
District to be identified with all of
Its interests, whose Republicanism
is unquestioned, and whose past
political course or affiliations need
no explanation. Such a man can
be found in the person of Col. Al
fred G.. Sturgiss, one of our enter
prlsing and successful business men;
a man of good and original ideas,
who thinks for himself and IS not
afraid to speak his convictions, who
answered to the call Of his country
when he was but seventeen years of
age and who has renamed true to
the old flag ever since. His friends
are legion and are numbered among
all parties and sects.
If nominated, he will not only
poll the full Republican vote of the
District, but will draw largely from
among his friends who differ with
him on political grounds.
Let the people Of the county ex'
press their views in regard to this
matter and when the convention
meets let there be a consensus Of
opinion of its citizens as to the mar
whose name we shall present. Give
us your ideas through the columns
of this paper. REPUBLICAN.

hundred yards brought us to the
dim signs of once log cabin, built
a hundred years ago at least, by a
man from one of the lower counties
by the name of Mace, but the poo
fellow couldn't endure the nightly
howiings of the wolves, the screams
of the panthers and the groans of
the bears. These were almost ON
nipresent. Mace left in disgust
and fear and has never been heard
from since. But for a number of
years these annoying beasts have
disappeared entirely, and lately the
beautiful and charming deer-gone,
almost extinct in this region. Oh!
the cruel hunter and deadly rifle.
The ''Little Round Glade" draws
them to 1t no more. Smaller game
has also greatly diminished. Some
turkeys and pheasants left-only
now and then a squirrel, but glad
to see and know there are more
small birds than for some years.
The song of the cheerful robin is
heard each morn before the peep Of
day. The noisy blackbirds appear
in troops IN search Of the dreaded
army worm and oYerripe cherries.
Also the flicker and the beautiful
red head, the one giving the signal
for the almost daily rain, the oths,
Mostly hunting its black chum ana
hidden insects. The doleful solo
Of the whippoorwu, only rarely
heard now. Where has it gone?
The hunter does not seek it if he
wished. 1t is strictly a night bird.
The farmers are busy at securing
their crops, which are good except
the hay and wheat which are said to
be below average; oats above and
corn very promising. Potatoes very
promising and the acreage much
larger than any previous year. Mr..
Hershbarger, young farmer, has
.12 acres in full bloom, good for
about 2 200 bushels. The fruit and
Derry crops are very good. Apples
plenty in nearly all orchards. Straw
berries are now being cultivated to
a considerable extent. Young Mr..
Miller this season shipped from his
two acre plat to Messrs. Kitchens at
Frostburg 5000 worth of the finest
berries. This industry is largely
on the increase. The father of
young Miller, Just over the State
line, has of late made the fruit,
berry and flower business quite a
success. He is almost entirely
known as 'Posy Miller" on &C
count of his taste for flowers.

champion" of either America, England
or Australia.
THE CALL explained some weeks ago why
Peter Jackson is more entitled to the honor
Of champion than any man looking for that
distinction. This is what prominent East
ern sporting paper has to say on the subject:
If all goes well and both men are alive they
will meet in the sporting club OF London not to
decide the que stion of the worlds cham pion-
ship as many people think. as neither OF these
men holds that title. That title cannot possi-
bly, be at stake. The winner of this battle will
be the p,ssessor of an immense purse and
nothing more. How can these men have the
world while that sturdy black Hercules, Peter
Jackson, is still in the ring? Is he not cham
pion of Australia by virtue of his VIC
Tory over Frank Slavin? And cha M
pion of England by his defeat Of Jem
Smith? And did he not fight James Corbett
sixty-one rounds to a draw? And If he is the
champion of England and Australia, and even
with the champion of America, why is he not
entitled to place in the race for the cham
he is champion of the world until he de-
feats Peter Jackson? That grim old warrior
is not to be considered thing OF the past. 1t
was entirely due to the scathing and sarcastic
tongue of ]. ]. Corbett that this noble old
warrior has sunk from the pugilistic hrma-
ment. But his oblivion is not complete. Pri-
vate adyices are at hand which tell US he is
taking good care of himself, and will soon be
heard from again. Let the winner of the
Corbett-Fitz fight beat Peter Jackson, and then
we will see for the first time a worlds cham
piop heavyweight puSilist.

John Elliot, the champion OF strictly
amateur sports and prominent member
of the Olympic Club, is of the opinion
that rowing is now one of the recognized
popular sports on this coast, second only
to bicycling.
He says tnat the Pacific Athletic Assoc-
alton has formed set of rules to govern a
regatta and that in the future cham pion-
ship regatta will be held by the association
yearly.
1t is only of late that Mr.. Elliot became
interested in rowing, heretofore not think
ing it was very exciting sport, but since
he has witnessed the crowds that attended
the Stockton, Ell Campo and Lake Merritt
regattas be has become boating enthusi-
ast and will do all in his power to further
the interests of the sport IN the future.
The Olympic Club boating annex is now
in fiouFishing condition.
Forty members are enrolled on the
clubs roster and $3.50 has been spent in
making improvements on the boathouse
at Belvedere.
The house has been divided off into
fourteen spacious apartments and float
costing $50 and capable of carrying fifty
tons has been added to the Improvements.
1t is the intention of the annex to limit
the membership of the club to fifty at the
regulation initiation fee of $3 and dues of
90 cents a month.

dents any more than brake agitators want
to have him.
Captain Fawcett of the Olympic Club
Wheelmen says that if it does not rain to-
day the postponed run of the club from
last Sunday will be held tomorrow to Red
wood City, taking the 1O: so train at Vale n
cia street for Miibrae, wheeling from there
to Redwood at an easy pace. On the way
down there will be five-mile try-out over
the San Mateo course, and after lunch a
two-mile handicap race Qor which six
prizes are offered) and an lmpromptu base
ball game.
The Intercollegiate Athletic Association
appreciates the advantages Of wheel con-
tests, and will hold separate tournament
this year. Racing men will be developed
from the colleges, and some good ones may
be expected, riders who otherwise would
not become competitors for track honors.
If the weather is pleasant tomorrow
and 1t does not rain to amount to anything
to-day there will be three ten-mile road
races held over at San Leandro tomorrow.
The riders of the Bay City Wheelmen will
compete in ten-mile handicap event from
Fruitvale to Haywards and Captain Plum
mer has called club run to go over on
the o'clock boat. All of the best men of
the club will ride. The California Cycling
Club men will ride ten miles around the
San Leandro triangle, going over on the s
O oclock boat, and the result of this race
will determine the clubs team in the
coming relay. The Imperial Cycling Club
riders will race from Fruitvale to Hay
wards in a ten-mile handicap event and
men who aspire to positions on this clubs
relay team must ride in this try-out. They
will also go over on the O'Clock broad
gauge boat.

Daniel O'Callaghan, one of the charter
members of the Bay City Wheelmen, re-
turned from his trip around the world
Thursday night and was warmly greeted
by his fellow-mem bers, who met him at
the ferry. He has had a variety of ex-
periences, and very jolly time alto
gether, and proposes to come around to
the clubhouse some night next week and
tell the boys all about his trip.
William Yeoman of the Reliance Club
Wheelmen of Oakland was one of the
fastest riders at the recent indoor meet,
always put on the scratch mark in the
handicap events, and would climb up to
about second position. So it was in the
semi-finals and finals. IN the scratch
races Edwards. Wells and other men of his
class could outsprint him at the tape. and
therefore, while showing as much speed
and endurance as any of them in race,
he was Invariably beaten at the finish by
a few inches because he could not sprint.
Yeoman broke the world s indoor competi-
ton mile record at the Pavilion track on
March 6, covering the distance in 2:J4 1-5.
This time was afterward bettered by
Wells, the Bay City flyer. Yeoman rode

R. NJ. Welch, member of the National
racing board, has issued another bulletin,
which as usual is interesting. 1t will be
noticed that w. w. Needham of the Olym-
pic Club Wheelmen has been transferred
to the professional class by Mr.. Welch
under clause B. This is because Needham
assisted in the training and riding of the
ladies who contested in the women's
three days meet at the Pavilion last week
which proved such a fasco. However,
Needham IS a pretty speedy rider and will
doubtless show up well among the "pros"
He is not so unfortunate as was Oscar
Osen last year, for now he will have lots
of company among the riders of the coast,
and good company at that.

The ranks of the women riders will be
greatly augmented this year by myrlads
of new recruits. Physicians freely recon-
mend the wheel for them, and thousands
of fair devotees will seek health and recre-
alton astride their bikes this season.
Toward the latter part OF last year the in
crease in the number of women riders who
frequented the park and the nearby coun-
try roads was very noticeable, and 1t is ex-
pected that this spring and summer will
see them riding everywhere that the men
do, and with as much comfort and pleasure.
The Haywards electric road will run
special bicycle train on and after to-mor-
row on Sundays only for the special ac-
commodation of bicycle-riders and their
wheels, leaving Haywards at 4 :Ol P. NJ. No
charge will be made for carrying wheels.
This train is put on for the benefit of those
who may wish to make the trip to Hay
wards, but who do not care to undertake
the homeward ride against prevailing
head winds; also for those whose wheels
may have suffered some mishap, and for
ladies who feel that the complete run OF
