The contemplated action of the Inter
collegiate Athletic Association in cutting
loose from the l.. A. W. in the bicycle
meets which this association Will run in
the future has aroused the attention OF
the members OF the teams which competed
at Manhattan Beach this last spring, and
they have drawn up and signed the follow
ing resolutions for the consideration OF the
intercollegiate Association meeting in Jan
uary:,.r
We, the undersigned members OF the va
ridus teams which participated i'll the first
separate intercollegiate bicycle meet held
at Manhattan Beach on May %, S96, do
hereby suggest the following amendments
To that clause of the constitution and by
laws which created the bicycle races on a
separate day.
L. That this clause be so amended as 10
change the date from the Wednesday pre-
ceiling the last Saturday in May 10 the
second Saturday In June.
9 That the nurnb Der of races he changed
from one-Quarter, one-half, one-Inile sin
gle, one nilctandeih, andfiye-miles races to
one-quarter, one half, one-tlird. twO-thirds.
one, two and five mile Single, and one and
two mile tandem.
g. That the trial heats and semi finals
be run on the day previous to the regular
meet.
j. That the number Of men from any one
college 10 he entered in any one race shall
| not exceed four, and that each man be en-
| titled to bring with him one man To act
| IN the capacity OF handler or trainer.
| ). That the alliance with the l.. a. w.
| be continued, and that all men who are de
| cIared profess .olals or who are suspended
| from track racing and are under sUspen-
| sion at the time OF this meet by the l.. \.
W, for any cause whatsoever, he not al
! owed to compete herein.
6. That in tie longer events, where there
is a tendency on the part OF the contestants
| To loaf, the referee have the power TO re-
| call the race and place time limit thereon.
and If the race be not ridden within said
| time limit, that he have the power 10 order
| in one OF the tandems to set the pace.
| :. That as soon as the entries are received
| the person having charge of them shout
| forward 10 the captainso ( the various teams
| free tickets, 10 which each OF the members
is entitled.
The resolutions contain several points o
more than ordinary interest, and the In
,eroollegiate Association will DO wisely Il
accept them. Whatever faults the l.. A. W
may have committed in the past, there is
no doubt that at the present time the League
is running its wheelmen in unexoptiona
fashion, and the feariessness with whici
punishment is meted out to vio!ators o
its rules is in marked contrast to the in
efficiency OF the A. A. o., in cases OF viola
tons which have come up OF late. Their
really is no reason why the Intercollegiate
A. A. should set up war with the l.. A
W., and the college cyclers who sided witt
their organization would suffer throughou
the season. There has been no evidenc
OF unwillingness on the par tof the l.. \. "
TO grant the college men as many sanction
is they desire, and it is difficalt TO SEE wha
benefit could be gained from an Independent
% organization.

Every form OF amusement heretofore
enjoyed by the summer girl at Saratoga
has evidently given way to cycling, anl the
wheelwomaD can be seen on every hand.
Tennis. previously so popular, is scarcely
thought OF, and dancing has been gradually
neglected for years. and frequent attempts
TO revive it have been failures. The fair
cyclists are having more genuine fun on
their beloved wheels, morning. afternoon
and evening. than brilliantly illuminated
ballroom could possibly offer. Fashionable
Saratoga has finally made up her mind to
smilinsiy approve of bicycle costumes,
which are being worn at all times. They
have established themselves in popularity
and threaten to remain the prevailing style
the remainder OF the season, for wheeling
is the particular craze, and every new
conner is almost invariably Il cyciist.

Another new invention on the bicycle
market is an extension crank. The genius
who devised it asserts that long cranks
are much better for bill climbing pur-
poses than short crauks, and even the
novices who have climbed hills with little
knowledge of the mechanical principles
of the bicycle will confirm that statement
The beauty about this crank is that 1t
can be adjusted while the rider is on the
bicycle. By q certain movement OF the
foot the crank can be extended, and by
another movement 1t is restored to its
first length. 1t is claimed that 10 ordi-
nary pedaliug, or back-pedaling, it is quite
out of the question TO cause the crank 10
SHIFT. Furthermore, this new appeudage
tc a bicycle is said to be graceful in ap-
pearance aud no greater in weight than
the usual style, and an average rider with
a wheel equipped with this device is as
surcd that he can distance crack" rider
with the ordinary crank machine.

RUIN AT FoLKsTON.
One Killed and Several Injured
There.


Folkston. Ca. Sept. 29.-This town
was visited this morning with one of the
most terrific storms that it has ever wit
messed. The sun rose and gave a few
struggling rays of light to town of peo-
pie buisly engaged in their regular pur-
suits. This evening it is sinking dimly
upon crowd of people wandering from
place to place like lost sheep.
This morning about O'Clock came the
first shock, but 1t soon passed
over without damage. The sun
shone out for a few minutes, and
every one who had been told
Of the storm thought it had passed. In
the course Of half an hour came the wind.
1t is miraculous that with so many
houses overturned that there was only
one life lost, that Of Tom Wright, the
colored barber here, who was in his house
trying to take care of his family. The
building collapsed and he was caught I'M
der the ruins and crushed to death.
The roof was blown off the store of Mr.
H. A. Renfroe. The damage to his stock
is about 81 900. Mr.. e. +. Lesesne head
clerk at Mr.. Renfroe's, received a severe
wound in the head, but is not in danger
Gus condition.
The Methodist church in the northeast
ern part of the town is blown to atoms.
The graded school building, constructed
Of heavy timbers and thought to be the
strongest in town, is in ruins. H. W.
Mitchum and thirty-eight students were
in the building when it collapsed, and all
escaped unhurt, except Miss Cathleen
Roddenberry, who received slight wound
on the head.
Reports from Boulogne, across the st.
Marys river say that several people were
killed and others injured.
