THE AMERICAN LEAGUE.
Gossip About tho Coming Election in
the Local Division.

the
For this season of the year there is very
little interest shown in the coming annual
election of the local division of the League
of American Wheelmen, the first that has
been held in this city for some time. AS
yet there are no announced candidates for
the office of chief consul though it is
understood the present incumbent will ac-
cept reelection, and also that G. A.
Mansfield of East Washington will be
candidate. In all probability the present
secretary-treasurer, Mr.. Charles +. Wood,
will again run for the office. He has given
eminent satisfaction this year in the posi-
ton, and his reelection is almost certain.
1t is hardly likely that he will have any
opposition.
The offices which will be filled at the an
nual election will be that of chief consul,
vice consul, Secretar:-treasurer, one dele
gate and one alternate to be represented at
the National Assembly. The present vice
consul, Mr.. w. X. Larrimore, will in all
probability be reelected. 1t does not take
a majority of the votes of the local divis-
ion to elect the officials. but only a ma
jority of those present at the meeting at
| which the election is held.
The league membership was increased by
ten applications during the week, which
makes the total membership now amount
to 227. 1t is calculated to have at least 25G
members before the election is held
The regular monthly meeting of the local
division of the league will be resumed On
Monday, October 8, and notices will shortly
be sent out to that effect. During the
summer the meetings have not been held,
and at the coming meeting considerable
business of Importance will be brought up
for consideration.

Espey returned yesterday from a two days
pleasure, trip from Shady Side, Va
The league run last Sunday to Dickey's
under Road Consul a. w. Leek was well
attended and thoroughly enjoyed by large
number of members and their friends. The

pected that the road consul will shortly

SOME PRECAUTIONS.
To Avoid Having Your wheel Made
on With by a Thief.

On account of the large number of stolen
wheels in the city, which in a great meas
ure is owing to the carelessness of the
rider, the following suggestions are given:
Never leave your wheel unlocked when
you enter a building. You may expect TO
be gone only a few seconds, but the wheel
may disappear in less time than that.
Never go out unless you have your lock
with you, and be ready to use it when the
wheel is left alone.
Never leave a wheel stand unlocked
agair st a curbstone or the side of tne
house If you have no lock take it in a
hallway or some part of the building.
though even in this position there is some
danger. A wheel standing unlocked against
curbstone is temptation to a cycle
thief.
Never leave your keys at home SO as to
render your lock useless. This is as bad as
he wing 10 lock at ALL To avoid this in
keys to the locks so that they can be
carried in more than one suit Of clothes.
Never think your wheel is too rickerty
or too old to be stolen. The world OF
thieves is ss varied as the world of honest
people and tastes often differ.
Never forget to report your loss to the
police station as soon as you find your
wheel has been stolen. A stitch in time
saves nine.
Never mount your wheel until you know
its number aud its description. 1t is a good
thing to make a private mark on the ma
chine somewhere, so as to be able to rec.
ogpize 1t. Some riders scratch of tn.
enamel in a small place, cover the spo,
with grease and write their initials ovel
the same with acid This eats through
the grease and leaves the mark on the
frame.
Never think you can always keep an ey,
on your wheel from the interior of build
| ing A few cents invested in a lock ant
| key will do more good than half a day.

The B0ltimUfei. Riders Who Made a
Gobd Contest.
The victory .ofGthe local riders over the
Baltimore rae ing men in the recent series
of intercity races does not show that the
Baltimore riders are poor racers but only
that the local men are much more speedy.
While the Washington team has remained
practically intact during the whole series,
there have been a number Of changes on
the Baltimore team. 1t was found out by
the Baltimoreans, and acknowledged by
the Washingtonians, that the last team.
consisting of Claude Leatherberry, Clar-
ence l.. knight, and Fred L. Myers. was
the best that the monumental city put up
during the series to uphold her reputation.
The Baltimoreans feel sore over their de-
feat. and, If the series be repeated next
year, are determined to at1ne for the de-
feat of this year.
Claude Leatherberry is undoubtedly the
fastest bicycle rider that Maryland has
ever turned out. In fact, he may well lay
claim to being one Of the very speediest
riders in this section of the country, II
not in the United States, as he has ably
demonstrated his ability on more than one

LACKAWANNA INSTITUTE OF HISTORY
AND SCIENCE.

was held on Novemer ~, 1885, at the
board Of trade rooms, to consider the
question Of forming Natural Science
and Historical association. The out
come Of this was the Lackawanna In
stitute Of History and Science. which
was permanently organized February
2, 1885, with Mr.. ]. A. Price as president.
The object Of this society Is to pro-
mote general historic and scientific
knowledge. and to establish and main
tain a library, museum and historical
record. During the summer of 1886 q
school In botany and geology was
formed, with Mr.. W. r. Dudley and
Mr.. Frank E. Platt Is now president Of
the institute. which has constantly
been growing and today has about 300
members. 1t has museum of nearly
10000 specimens and Q library Of $500
volumes. On account of the limited
space, only about one-fourth Of these
can be exhibited at the Green Ridge
Public library, where they have been
removed from the rooms formerly occu-
pied In the court house.
Mr.. Wheeler, the very able curator,
will kindly show these to any one, and
also give very interesting information
while doing so. He will tell you that
they are in need Of a much larger build
ing and that Nay Aug park is q most
desirable location. This Is most wor-
thy object and one In which we should
all take an interest and encourage and

nineteen years he was admitted a. q

spirited and philanthropist, self ma dc
and jealous for self improvement In

untold institutions Of charity as we'll
as a leader Of society. He was the
president Of the Delaware and Hud-
son Canal company. and thus assisted
In the wonderful development which
has resulted in bringing millions Of cap.

Notwithstanding the land originally
reserved In Providence for school pur-
poses, for forty eight years after the
settlement Of the valley no school build
ing was erected within its limits. This
was owing to the prolonged Wyoming
struggle and also the change Of juris-
diction. The first school house
built in 1918, on the right hand side Of
the road leading from Griffin's Corners
to Providence, now West Market street,
Is still standing, though somewhat
