practiced at the armory last night Ior
their contest at the basket ball meet Fri
dav evening The lightweight team did
especially good work and held the regu-

A new event was added to the pro-
gramme yesterday. 1t will be relay race
between the grammar schools OF the city.
Each school is invited to enter team OF
four men. .
All space in the armory underneath the
galleries will be boarded up, that the
field of play may be without obstruc-
tons.
1t is probable that the wrestling match
between +. Leather and Prof. Trenaman
of the S. A c. win not take place. Leather
Is on the sick list, fifteen pounds under
weight. and out of training. II is a seri-
GUS question If he would be justified to at
tempt to wrestle. When seen last night
he said he would like TO help out the Y.
Nj. C. A but was in poor shape physically
to enter a contest.

A Bicycle 20 BE Built For Fifteen Riders
Is the Latest.

The latest thing on wheels, quindecu-
piet, or cycle for i6 riders IL TO be built
for q club of Is enthusiasts Tho other
day the captain of the club, G. II. Jones,
walked into a New York bicycle store and
asked If machine could be made TINT
would carry Is riders.
Certainly" said the manager. "if you
want 10 pay the price II will come close
to $500"
He was told to go ahead and make plans
and Specifications for the giant cycle, and
In month the machine may be finished.
In England vehicle to carry 12 riders has
already been built, and in this country an
enterprisipg firm turns them out for six
riders. These are not bicycles, but tricy-
cles, with one wheel In front and two In
the rear.
The newest machine is to have one seat
In front for the steersman, and then seven
pairs of seats behind, side by side. The
gear will be 1853, which is enormous, and
every revolution of the pedals will drive
the machine ahead 40 feet inches
Special tubing will have to be ordered,
and the stoutest of pneumatic tires If the
riders are experts, they could make phe-
nomenal time on their new quindecuplet

both parties since that time. In 1872 the
Republican national convention was held
in Philadelphia and the Democratic ma
tional convention in Baltimore. In 1875
the Republicans held their national con-
ventlon in the city Of Cincinnati and the
Democrats first recognized the claims Of
St Louis holding their national conven-
tion in that city, where Governor Tilden
was nominated for the presidency, TO
which, five months later, he was elected.
In 1880 the Republicans held their nation
at convention, beginning on June 2, two
weeks earlier than the date this year in the
city of Chicago, and the Democrats held
their national convention on June 22 two
weeks earlier than this year in Cincinnati
In 1884 the popularity of Chicago bid
lsir TO eclipse the former distinction as a
convention city of Baltimore. Both polit-
ical parties held thoir nominating conven-
tions in Chicago in that year, the Repub-
licans on June 3 and the Democrats on
July s. 1t was In Chicago that Mr.. Cleve-
land was first nominated for the Presi-
dency and In Chicago, too, that Mr..
Blaine received the only presidential nom-
ination accorded him by his party, though
Mr.. Blaine was voted for as a candidate
In the conventions of 1875, 1880, 1884,
1883 and 1892. The Democrats held their
national convention of 1888 in the city of
st. Louis, anticipating by two weeks, and
contrary to the usual custom of the Demo-
Gratis, the meeting of the Republicans
The Republican national convention of
1883 was held in the city of Chicago, and
1t was there that Mr.. Harrison received his
first nomination for the presidency. The
Democratic national convention of 1892
was held in the city of Chicago, and many
Democrats, as well as some Republicans,
though disayowing any feeling of supersti-
ton, declare that Chicago has been an
auspicious convention city for them, for
after both conventions at which, in Chi
cago, Mr.. Cleveland was nominated, he
was elected, whereas after the intervening
convention Of 1883 Mr. Cleveland, the
nominee, was defeated. New York Sun.

SURRENDERED BY WIRE.
Curious Use 60 which q Telephone Was

Put In Cuba.
The most curious use TO which the tele-
phone was ever put is reported from Cuba.
An insurgent general demanded over the
telephone wire that Spanish garrison
surrender, and this Is what actually oc-
CURED.
General Pablo Olivia arrived on the out
skirts of a town that was defended by q
strong body Of Spanish troops Owing to
the fact that number Of guns were posted
80 a. to command the only point at which
the town could be approached, he was
rathes averse to marching up and demand
ing surrender until he could find some
means of assuring the garrison that for ths
time being his intentions were pacific.
While Olivia and his aids were discuss
Ing the situation, one Of the members OF
the revolutionary party reported tho dis
coyery of tho telephone, which was con-
nected with the exchange inside the town.
Olivia Immediately repaired to the place,
rang up the Spanish commander and called
upon him to surrender within an hour up-
der penalty of having the town burned
about his ears At the end Of the hour he
called up the front gun and found the gar
rison ready to surrender, upon which be
entered the town without fea- of attack.
