Bradstreet's SAWS:
ALL OFF.
The Lesser Fights of the Texas Carnival
Abandoned.


FL Paso, Tex, Feb. 17.-At eight p. m.
Sunday Dan Stuart announced to the
crowd of correspondents and sports in
his office that the EverhardtLeeds,
WalcottB Bright Eyes, Marshall-Dixon
and Barry Murphy contests were OIL
cially declared off and thai he would
pay the forfeit of $500 on each contest
to-day. The announcement was not
coupled with any reasons for this step.
but later it was stated in Stuart's be-
half by one of his associates that as
one of the fights was already past due
and another was due to-day he regarded
IL as useless to carry out the lesser fea-
lures of the carnival so long as the big
fight was undecided. 1t is now more
likely than ever that the big fight will
be declared off TODAY.

Moderation in cycling is as necessary
Es in everything else, and particularly
SO because it brings into play new sets
of muscles and blood Vessels in certain
Tarts of the body which are entirely
unprepared for the usual strain.
The fascination of bicycle riding is
the strongest objection to the sport.
on account of the danger of over exer-
ton, and for this reason those who
take IL up for improvement OF health
become so invigorated aud delighted
with the exercise that they who should
be the most careful are generally tho
ones who overdo il. Entering violently
into any exercise is lad, and 50 is cy-
cling, for the reason that 1t gives the
heart more to do than has been custom
airy; but of course, by going into tho
exercise gradually, the heart grows
stronger and is prepared for exertion
As for the lungs, cycling cultivatce
a good habit Of deep breathing, and does
O great deal to strengthen the muscles
of the back.
There is no other exercise that is So
quieting to the nerves and which at the
same time brings into play so nicely and
so gently the many parts of the body
without giving violent work TO some
particular set of muscles.
Cycling induces those to take outdoor
exercise who have never taken II be-
fore, and is the best exercise that can be
taken; but let the beginner beware OF
oyerindulgence and persist in the
pleasure and safeness of moderation.

feeding the nerves on refuse instead of the
elements OF strength and vigoT. Opiate and

pure, rich blood; gives natural sleep, perfect
