Time Glasses For cyclers.

Every day shows the need Of time
classes for the professional cyclers of
America. As it is now, there are men
in the open races on the national circuit
and all over the country who have no
possible chance while such cracks as
Bald, Cooper, the Buffers, Sanger and
few like them are riding. These men
are in class by themselves. They show
it in every race when they fight for first
place yards ahead of the rest of the
bunch. The only chance left for the
smaller fry is an accident or sneak,
which is not always successful. With
classes the fast men would be placed to-
gether and the weaker riders mated
where they would have chance for the
money. Undoubtedly this will be a
matter given serious attention at the

Express

THE WORLD OF SPORT.

Regattas have been rowed and sailed
for more than a century. The first wa
ter show of the regatta sort took place
on the Thames June 23, 1775. The
programme, which was submitted to
the public month before, requested la
dies and gentlemen to arrange their own
parties, except those who should apply
to the managers of the regatta for seats
in their barges lent by the several city
companies for the occasion.
The rowers were to be uniformly
dressed in accordance with the three
marine colors-white, red and blue.
The white division was directed to take
up position at the two arches on each
side of the center arch of Westminster
bridge, the red division at the four
arches next the Surrey shore and the
blues at the four arches on the Middle
sex side of the river. The company was
to embark between and 6 O'Clock in
the evening, and at all the boats were
to move up the river to Ranelagh in
procession, the marshal of the white,
in a IL cared barge, leading his divi-
sion; the marshals of the red and blue,
with their respective divisions, follow
ing at intervals of three minutes be-
tween each. Early in the afternoon the
river from London bridge to Millbank
was crowded with pleasure boats, and
stands gayly decorated with flags were
erected wherever view of the Thames
could be obtained.
Soon after 6 O'Clock concerts were
held under the arches of Westminster
bridge, and salute of 21 cannons an
nounced the arrival of the lord mayor.
A race of wager boats followed, and the
procession moved in picturesque irregu-
larity to Ranelagh. The ladies We're
dressed in white, the gentlemen in un-
dress frocks of all colors. About 2, 900
persons were supposed to be on the river
at one time. -Pittsburg Dispatch.
