1t is reported that A. W. Harris, the
professional champion or England, is conf
ing across the water TO race with the Amer
leans this summer. The report has not been
entirely confirmed from the other side. but
II is not unlikely that the once rena rka bic
little Engiishnian will be seen in cCnLcii-
ton against the professional Flyers oil tliss
country some time before the season is ended.
Harris was for three seasons England $
best rider at the ordinary distances. To-
gether with Edwards and others OF his class,
lie turned professional and went To France 10
race in 1894. During that year, however.
Harris was apparently below par, Tor lie
Jailed to make u good sho owing against the
Frenclimen or the two or three good Ameri-
can riders who were riding in Paris.
Harris came originally from the city 0f
Leicester, Where Harris the elder sometimes
followed the profession OF boo oknia ker a the
races. Dad" was an interesting character,
full Of the sporting fever, and possessed OF IL
dialect that was rich and musical. When
Bert was to ride in a race II was common
thing for Dad TO mount the block and
cry out something which sounded like Six
to four on the boy. and which wa $ generally
known as Tick to 70 on the bo.' Harris is
small and powerfully built. He makes no
noise about what he can do-as is The habit
OF his oOlntrynian. the mercenary Bardeu-
and is well liked.

Arrangements are being made TO hold
the trial heats of the intercollegiate
bicycle races at the Manhattan Bea ch
bicycle track during the latter part of
May. A large number OF candidates in
training at Columbia, Yale, Harvard, and
Pennsylvania indicates that the college
bicycle meet will be a big affair. The
addition of quarter, half, one, and five
mile safety and one-mile tandem races
to the list OF intercollegiate events has
resulted in awakening great interest in
bicycle racing.
AT the University OF Penns ylvania
thirty men are training with the bicycle
squad. Yale has twenty-five, Harvard
over twenty and Columbia about Il
dozen speedy men. II is the wish OF the
colleges that the trial heats be run Off
several days previous TO the Memorial
Day meeting, and 1t seems likely that
arrangements Will he cOnsummated this
week with the managers OF tie Manhattan
Beach track. 1t is thought that Columbia
has the sICcdiest sEort-distInce riders, but
i'll the mile and tandem races Harvard,
Pennsylvania and Yale will be strongly
represented.

and il had been listed at S75. All this will
be changed, however, by the system of
cash prizes. There can be no 500 cash
prizes With a $50 actual value. There is
no rea sou why the races this year will no
be better than ever before. The best men
will be piited against each other, and the
