score of twenty-six points he alone has
made twelve, and if he continues at this

he took a position as instructor in cycle

kept this position in that city the present
year had he not been sent for to come TO
Washington to work, being engaged in
the same occupation. Though only eight
cen years of age, he is afflicted with rheu-
matism, which to a certain extent prevents
him from training in the proper manner.

brother, w. Fred Sims, he rode tandem

FOR THE FIELD MONUMENT.
A Race Meet to BE Given Soon t,
Raise Funds.

Mr.. Charles T. Cabrera will shortly give
bicycle race meet for the benefit of the
Eugene Field monument fund. The move
ment was started in Chicago shortly after
the death of the humorist and poet and
the monument committee consists of the
editors and publishers of all of the lead
ing newspapers in Chicago On account of
the popularity of the poet the movement
to raise the funds for the memorial is not
limited to Chicago, but embraces the whole
country The monument, however. will be
erected at Chicago
The eastern representative of the mon
ument fund is Clara Belle Brown Of 1911
Connecticut avenue. She has been agitat.
ing the movement in this CITY, and the
proposed rae, meet is a part of the fruits
OF her labors Mrs. Brown has presented
the proposition of the race meet to Mr.
Cabrera. and Wednesday evening he wrote
her letter accepting her proposition.
He will manage the meet and secure the
glory, while the funds will be turned over
to the general monument fund.
No date has been selected as yet upor
which to hold the meet, but most likely II
will cone off the latter part of next
month. No course has been selected, and
while the meet may be held at the Interna-
tional Athletic Park. it may be at the
Columbia Athletic Club field. corner 18th
and c streets. This latter place may be
selected on account of IT'S location within
the city limits. At the next meeting of
the c. A. c. the matter will probably be
brought up, and most likely the grounds
either rented or donated for the occasion.
Prizes for this meet have already beer
offered as follows:

THE BICYCLE PATH.
Various Plans Susgested to Accom
ptsh the IndertnkinR.

'~~AAouS AuuS SuSHehteu 10 ACCOM-
pfsh the Undertaking.
While the local league Is pushing the
project OF the bicycle path from the An
glers' Cub House to Great Falls, there is
growing sentiment among the wheelmen
of the city that such an effort will never
result successfully If dependent on funds
raised among the cyclists and the cycle
members In spite of the fact that a fund
has been established and contributions re-
ceived, there is still a large difference
between the amount of money received or
so far promised and the $4,000 which
1T Is calculated is necessary to construct
the two miles of pathway.
Ihe only way in which a path could be
secured in short botice would be through
the efforts of the wheelmen in Congress-
1t would rot do to ask to have a cycle
dlrect Rne of the present Conduit road
According to the plan suggested but which
II Is hardly likely will be carried out
If the wheelmen raise 5000 Congress will
be asked to appropriate the balance for the
completion Of the path. Still another
scheme is suggested, by which consent is to
De obtained from Congress to construct a
path over the public property, and to erect
Toll gates. to collect money to pay for the
cost or the improvements and the keeping
OF the path in good condition. If this is
done there will be 70 trouble in getting
plenty of concerns to advance money to
means of repaying them for the invest
Hent. Whether Congress will permit this
or not Is something that has yet to be
determined.
