President Coleman, Of the Cycle Board
of Trade, win Sanction None Until

Wants an Explanation from L. A. w.

Very few outside those / n the cycle trade
industry have any idea OF the enormous de-
mands made ON manufacturers for various
purposes, among which may be mentioned
prizes for race meets, contributions for
local objects, exhibiting bicycles and sun
dries at cycle shows, institutes and fairs
The ordinary show promoter, when issues
his prospectus and offers low rentals and
other Inducements, apparently takes no ac-
count of the enormous expenses incurred
upon the exhibitor IN the shipping ofhis ex-
hibit and maintaining his staff at the ex-
hibition.
Early in the year the trade ieit that the
show question had outgrowD aiilegitimate
bounds, and President Il. l.. Coleman, of the
National Cycle Board of Trade, received
many communications from the members OF
the board, urging him to take steps to put
Ia stop to the evil. Mr.. Coleman at once de-
cided that no cycle exhibitions should lie
sanctioned later than March 81 last. This
action had the desired effect, and after that
date it was rare thing TO hear OF cycle
shows, although a hundred or more were
then in contemplation. The show promoters
have given the bicycle trade rest OF five
months, but now again there are numerous
fairs and exhibitions projected all over the
country.
INN ediately upon the ruturn of Mr..
Coleman from Europe last Saturday he

ton, and after consultation With several

It is more than likely that but few
people have any idea of the true reason
why bicycling is comparatively the least
taxing OF all exercises when indulged in
in uioderation. A Russian doctor ex-
plains the matter very simply. 1t is, he
says, because the body. when on bi-
cycle, is supported from five different
points-the handles, saddle and pedals
and is, as it were, suspended so that the
weight is evenly distributed
As a matter of fact. 1t is more trying
To sit on q chair than On q bicycle
Nevertheless, the reason~why bicycling
today is such a restful exercise, to use a
paradoxical expression, is Invariably at

it principally among these riders that the
races are contested.

In the first trial heat for the grand
challenge cup Trinity beat the London
Rowing club crew half a length. Both
crews started with "A stroke. At the
farm, which was reached in 236, London
led by three-quarters of length. At
Hawley Court Trinity spurted with
40 stroke. but London hung on, andf
Trinity did not get clear until quarter
ed gamely repeatedly, but was unable
to catch the Cambridge men, who won
with a fine squirt at the finish!in seven
minutes and twenty seconds.
In the second heat, grand challenge
cup New College beat Trinity Hall with
the greatest ease, by IN lengths. Trinity
Hall was used up. Time. 7:19 At no time
was Trinity Hall a match for their op
ponents. New College pulled a 42-stroke
and Trinity Hall Al to the minute. The
superior showing of the New College
men was remarkable. especially at Red
mond Hall. Although Trinity Hall was
rowing splendid stroke, the advantage
of Bucks station was telling sharply
against all Trinity's efforts. Approach

was apparent they were winning easily.

THE DIAMOND SOULS
The Chicago Man Wins His Heat and Hopes
for Victory

The Chicago Man Wins His Heat ana Hopes
for Victory
The first event was trial heat No. for
diamond skulls in which r. X. Beau
mont of the Burton Rowing Club beat
Frank Beddington of the Midway Row
ing club easily in 9:07.
In the second heat for the same trophy
Vivian Nickalls of the London Rowing
club beat Rev. Sidney Swami of the
Cambridge University Boat club quar-
ter of a length. Both men were ex-
hausted at the finish. Time, 1858.
In the third heat. diamond skulls, Hon.
Rupert Guinnas. holder of the trophy of
the Leander club. beat H. T. Backstaffe
of the Vesta Rowing club two lengths.
Time, 9:03.
DIR. Mcdowell Of the Delaware Boat
club. Chicago, won the fourth heat for
diamond skulls, defeating Charles F.
Guinnas.
Dr. McDowells style was pronounced
to be very much like Hanlon's. He kept
dangerously near the piles and off the
Rectory struck one of them sharply with
his oar Nevertheless, he kept the lead.
Time for half the distance was 3:OS.
AS DR.. r.McDowell came in in grand style
there was loud applause from all sides.
Off Phyllis court the American sculler
evidently thought he had finished and
slowed up to look around. Guinness
then made desperate squirt and people
thought Mcdowell was exhausted which
brought forth cries Of Guinness WINS"
and go on Mcdowell, go on McDowell
finish 1t out" Then Mcdowell in two
or three powerful strokes again shot
away as If Guinness was at anchor and
won amid great applause from Ameri-
cans and English. Experts on the UNI
pire's launch said that DIR. Mcdowell is
a wonderful sculler. Experts also said
that Yale's stroke throughout the race
was 80 to 40, and Leander, they say,
averaged 3S.
Just before DR.. McDowell's heat for the
diamond sculls the sun came out and at
the same time the breeze freshened,
blowing from the east or Berks side of
the river. Interest among the British
perceptibly quickened at o'clock ap-
preached and Americans naturally
hoped that the Chicago oarsman would
do something to lift the damper of Amer
lean depression. Mcdowell struck wa
ter at AZ to the minute stroke and
quickly took the lead. Young GUM
ness, after rounding the island, made
a desperate squirt, but Mcdowell simply
played with the boy and rowed away in
beautiful form. After the race McDow-
ell said:
"It may seem as If I did not row hard,
but I assure you did. When I hit the
stake it scooped piece out Of my oar
and also broke the seat so badly that 1t
fell into the river. When was lifting
1t from the water could plainly hear the
shouts of the Yale men ashore. was
not a particle exhausted and hope to
race again"
In the first heat of the ladies' chal-
lenge cup for eight oars the Elton school
boys beat Jesus College, Oxford, five
lengths. The great popularity of the
school boys was shown in the wild cheer
ing when they were seen ahead. Time,
1853.

race irretrievably lost. It was indeed
good to see. and the Americans may feel
grateful to their countrymen for having
left such memory behind them.
"Pessimists have said that these inter-
national contests do more harm than
good. Yale has shown how false that
doctrine is.'
The Chronicles rowing expert also de-
scribes Yale's showing as splendid pluck,
but worthless style. He attributes
their defeat to their obsolete theory of
rowing.
The Standard, commenting editorialty
upon the contest, says:
"Yale's defeat was no reflection on
their skill. Next to being the victors
ourselves we should have rejoiced at the
triumph of our American guests"
The Standard then proceeds to advo-
cate other foreign oarsmen coming to
England.
The Graphic says: "Yale's short and
trying stroke proved too much for them.
But 1t was no disgrace to be beaten.
Everyone will wish them better luck
next time. They may take consolation In
ale 5 experience mere III dtIletlCS.
The Henley correspondent of the
Standard says:
Yale rowed pluckily and was beaten
fairly and squarely on their merits. The
| difference in the style of the two crews
was very marked, yale's being all arm
| work
The Daily Mail says: "They made
| stout fight and have taken their beating
| like good sportsmen. More than one ex-
pert thinks that Mr.. Mcdowell will gel

worthy of every compliment"
! The Sportsman says: 1T was lucky
that the wind favored neither crew
Yale rendered a splendid account OF
themselves and by their magnificent row
ing earned the golden opinions of al
| good sportsmen."
The Yale crew tonight elected F. H
Bailey, '97, who rowed No. 5 today, cap
| tain for next year. The English observ
ers at Henley think that Yale's defea
was chiefly due to the crews outfit, es-
pecially to the use of such broad oars.
