work on another machine of very diff
ferent character, except in so far as
the actual making of the curves is con-
cerned, which he thinks will not be only
suited for practice work, but for games
also.
A clear idea Of the gun will be had
by first giving the history of the va
rious experiments that led to the pres
ent instrument. Mr.. Hinton is an Eng
hshman, an Oxford man, who has been
at Princeton for four years. Prior to his
coming to this country he conducted a
boys school in Yokohama. In England
he was a lover of cricket and a con-
slant player of the game. He is also
an able mathematician. Long before he
came to this country he had studied
up the various theories about the
curves a pitcher gives to a base ball,
and when in Yokohama he tried to
get some of the Americans there to tell
how the trick is done. But he was not
successful, and it was not until he
went to Princeton four years ago that
he saw ball curved. He became a
constant visitor at the base ball cage
in the winter and the ball field in the
summer, and in the course of the year,
by his questions and his observations,
he became an expert in base ball, and
especially in pitching.

on bright, crisp day is the best ex-

the temperature is not above the

manufacturers are, almost without ex-
ception, furnishing the '97 models with
keyless cranks,s thus doing away with
the crank key, or pin. For several
years the tendency has been in this
direction. and some makers have been
using keyless cranks on their go
models with more or less success, but,
judging from the large number OF
prominent bicycles which will in 1897
be fitted with patent keyless cranks
and shafts, 1t is evident that the new
style of construction, in this most i'm
portant part of the bicycle is super
Seding the old style.
