The Laurel Cycle club held a large
meeting at Lodge hall, Dayton and

the subject of club uniforms was
brought forward and discussed, there
Co.'S, Minneapolis, and the Plymouth,
st. Paul, young women to display the
two women's suits, between which the
present choice of the club lies. The
only perceptible difference in the suits
was that one was divided in the back
as we'll as in front, and the other was
not. The matter was not decided upon.
A representative from a shoe firm in
Chicago was also present, and dis
played bicycle shoes of many kinds. A
red tan was the favorite shoe with the
members present at the time the shoes
were shown, but this matter was also
allowed to rest.
The bylaws and constitution were
read and accepted, and new club men,
bers approved. The club has a pres
ent membership of $50, and is rapidly
growing. A motion for the officers to
appropriate money for current ex-
penses was carried
M. o. Nelson, chairman Of committee
on club colors and emblem, reported
that green and white were the colors
selected, typifying the green of the
laurel leaves and the white blossom,
and it was suggested that the laurel
wreath be used in some way as an en-
blem. The colors were accepted, and
the committee given more time to con-
slider the matter of a proper emblem.
Chairman Schillock, of the club house
committee, had no report, and three
additional names We're added to the
committee and further time allowed.
Charles Swartz, Mckay Heffner and w.
Nelson were appointed on this COM
mittee.
Mrs. Swartz, chairman of the uniform
committee, gave an excellent report,
and introduced the representatives of
the suit firms present, who also had
mems suits to show.
M. Ballow was present and gave a
clever description of an Eastern club
run. near Lynn, Mass, in which he
participated. The next meeting will
be held a week from Thursday night

PARADE ON THE HILL.
Unusual Project of the Encampmcnt
Committees.

Committees.
Much talk is being indulged in by the
members of the committee on parade
of the national G.. A. r. encampment
as to the best line of march. and the
general feeling among the members of
the committee now seems to be in
favor of having the parade on st.
Anthony hill. the line of march extend
ing from some point near the top of
the hill to about Mackubin street. and
down Summit avenue, on which the
reviewing stand would be located. II
is urged that this would give the old
soldiers an opportunity to view the
incest part of the city and would re-
move the parade from the crowded
business streets.
The executive committee of the board
Of managers will hold meeting
Thursday evening. when it is expected
a number of reports will be submitted
by the committees.
Secretary Pinney has received num-
Der of letters from members of the c.
A. r. in New York, expressing graft
fication at the information that the en-
campmert is to be held the first week
in September. as this will give them an
opportunity to bring their whole fami-
lies and get back before the opening of
the schools.

delegation from the Toledo posts. and
others in that vicinity. will visit the
city very soon to arrange for quarters
for the encampment. Iowa and Ohio
have made requests for quarters. Let
ters have also been received from ad-
ditional allied organizations making in
qulry about quarters; for the holding OF
reunions. In all. seven of these organi.
cations have now been heard from in
this matter. The latest is the regular
brigade of the Fourteenth army corps
of the Army of the Cumberland.

dence in shape is progressing nicely.

Trouble Aldermen Tonight.

The board of aldermen will hold q
regular meeting tonight. The most IN
terestlng feature on the progra mne
VIII be the election of citizen of the
Sixth ward to fill the seat vacated by
the resignation of Robert N. Hare.
There Is no reason to believe that there
is any pronounced opposition among
the aldermen to the election of John f.
Krieger, whom ex-Ald. Hare recon-
mended as his successor So far as
can be learned Mr.. Krieger is accept
able to the citizens of the Sixth ward
and while there may be one or two
other candidates. Mr.. Krieger's chances
are considered the best.
Another new matter will be the re-
port of the committee on streets recon-
mending that the street railway COM
pany be required to extend it's loop
from Robert street to- Broadway. This
action was taken by the committee last
Saturday in response, to:ythe communi-
cation from the chamber of commerce
embodying resolution calling for such
extension. 1T is understood that the
property owners along The line of the
proposed extension have agreed to bear
a proportion of theotlexbense incurred
by the change. ~ -,

initial boxing contests. The card con-
tained three bouts for tonight, two of
ten rounds each and the other of thir-

appearance. He got into the ring at
1875 O'Clock, and Bright Eyes" came
through the ropes at 10:42.
From the first WaIcott had things
largely his own way and forced the
fighting. In the second round bright
Eyes" seemed afraid and was doing
more lodging than fighting. Up to the
sixth round things went from bad to
worse for the Texas man. At the call
of time Walcott rushed and knocked
bright Eyes" down, then landed two
right smashes on the jaw and Bright
Eyes" went down twice more. Again
''Bright Eyes" went down and stayed
there nine seconds from another Of

knocked down seven times in this
round.
In the last round Walcott led off and
knocked Bright Eyes" to the floor
with a left swing on the neck. Bright

he was groggy, and Walcott sent in
hard left swing on the neck and the
Texas man went down. Charley White

BAN AS A PROPHET.
President Johnson Says the National
League Is Sowing the Wind.

The initial article on the sporting
page of the Cincinnati Commercial Ga
zette of Saturday is a significant ut
terance, in view of the fact that the
sporting editor of that paper is Ban B.
Johnson, the president of the Western
Base Ball league. Under flaring head
lines, 'Autocratic Power of the Ma
tional Board" Injustice to Minor
Leagues" Brush and Byrne the Ma
tional League Jugglers,'' Laws
Framed to Gain Personal Ends" Man
ner in Which the New National Agree
ment Was Forced Upon the League"
is written the following:
"A guilty conscience needs no accuser."
Word comes from Washington that Presi-
dent N. L. Young has ordered his bullet
proof vest. He scents war affair." and in the
language of Patrick Henry, he says if it is
inevitable. let it come.
Over in Indianapolis, John Brush is chuck
ling that through the national board he will
be able TO wreck every minor league in the
country that dares to assume that it has any
rights which himself and his cunning partner,
Charles Byrne, are bound to respect.
In New York, Patrick Powers, who was
frothing at the mouth fortnight ago, who
was accusing the national league magnates
OF every crime in the base ball calendar;
who was urging his colleagues to stand to-
rights. compared to which the little run at
Baaklava upon one historic occasion would
be Sunday afternoon picnic; who was cry
ing and painting and shrieking for war, this
same Powers is groveling in the dust, and
pleading that he was mentally deranged
when he stated that anything could be
wrong with the twelve good men and true
who constitute the National League and
American Association OF Base Ball clubs.
Out of the West comes a declaration from
President Hickey, of the Western association.
Mr.. Hickey longer thirsts for blood.
White-winged peace. he insists; is the one
thing mostly desired in base ball.
To all Of these the national league mag,
mates say, "Bless you, my children" and
then go on plunderng right and left; go on
pursuing a course which would wreck any
commercial enterprise in six months; con-
tinue acting upon the assumption that might
makes right; rush recklessly ahead In man
ner which, while it portends no Immediate
war will inevitably bring ruin and disgrace
upon professional base ball.
The national league, under the guidance of
such master hands as thase of John T.
Brush and Charles Byrne, is sowing the
wind. Sooner or later it will reap the whirl-
wind.

MRS. RILEY,S HALF.
Fifty Cent Piece That Created Some
Excitement.

Mrs Riley had just 80 cents in her
pocketbook when she started to at
tend vespers at st. Joseph's church
Sunday night. She wanted to put
something in the contribution box, but
not the whole half dollar. Just as
she reached the steps Of the church
she approached a lady who happened
to be shaking her pocket, and 1t sound
ed as though it contained a large
amount Of coin.
"Can you exchange half a dollar for
me, ma'am?" asked Mrs. Riley. STEP
ping close to the strange LADY.
"Well, I can't, ma am" answered
the other in a half apologetic tone.
'but 1 can get 1t changed for you in
a minute" and, reaching for the half
she turned and walked rapidly away
She had not been gone more than
a second before Mrs. Riley began to
ask herself why a strange woman
should be so willing to act as messen-
ger for her. The more she thought 1t
over the more peculiar 1t looked to
her. What if she should run away
with my half dollar% was the next
thought.
Faith, I'll follow her and see that
she don't" says she half aloud to
herself, and she turned round and
started after the one with the half.
not more than suspecting the posslt H.
ity of a woman stealing piece oe
silver off the steps of the church.
Glancing UP the street. she saw the
woman more than half a block away
increasing her gait every second. Mrs
Riley's suspicion now began to take
the form of conviction, and she ran
after the woman who had her COIN
But the one in the lead was a bit Of
a sprinter herself, and when she saw
she was being pursued, she. too. start

neck race for several blocks. but

fugitive, recovered her coin, gave her
a bit of her mind and let her go her
way rejoicing that she escaped being

French held a long and serious conference
with the members of his staff and dictated
vouminous letters to his staff officers through

Their Space to 1t.
LONDON, March 1.-THE proposed
expedition up the Nile valley is the
leading topic of discussion in all circles
in England, and the London newspa-
pers of this morning give almost their
whole space to the subject. The po-
litical aspects of the movement have
first place in the public mind, though
the papers have many suggestions also
from military authorities on the cam
paign. But it is noticeable that the
military plans which have for their OBJ
jective the Dervish disturbances in the
Soudan without due attention to the
effects upon Italy's situation in Abys-

that practically the sole purpose of the

a friendly power and the resulting in
