a remarkable one.

THE FRIAR A BACK NUMBER
Lord CHIEF Justice Russell, of England,
for many years counsel for the English
Jockey Club, and Sir Francis Lockwood,
who is at present the counsel OF that august
racing body, expressed themselves rs being
very much pleased with what they saw at
Gravesend Saturday. Many of the finishes
were close, and the distinguished English
men were quite as much excited as any of
the Americans.
The horses which have borne the hrunt
of the campaign are sho wing unmistaEabe
signs of stalcness, aud the comparatively
fresh horses are the ones for the talent TO
play for the balance of the season.
The Friar is evidently a back number,

cycling tours. Everybody seems to vote
tins method OF travel most delightful
success. AS one man expressed it.
There " as only one draw back o our trip,
ard that was that it was too short"
Yet this party trarersed 2 coo miles awheel
and saw great deal more than they would
have done from railway trains. England
is, perhaps, the favorite touring ground of
American cyclists, but they Were to Lc
sccu in France, Germany and Switzerland in
fair numbers. OF course, the excellence
OF the roads over there is most constantly
in the mouths Of those who describe their
wheeling experience in Europe.
Another feature is the constant interest
aroused by scenes through which they
passed. Men WHO had previously Travelled
through country, merely visiting the
large cities and tue places most frcquentcd
by strangers, were aereeahly surprised At
the succession of delights unfolded In
cycling. They acquired an acquaintance
with people and customs and traditions
which had wholly escaped them when in the
beaten path OF ordinary sightseeing.
