THERE REMAIN JUST
EIGHT DAYS MORE
Before the Positive and Absolute Suspension of the
So Rate--Doctor McCoy's Reasons for Making
So Prominent and Emphatic the Time Limit
January 1.

With this closing month OF the year ends,
tlnity. 1t is reasonable to suppose that
by this time thD terms have been made
clear to all, The greatest pains have been
taken to guard against the possibility OF
confusion. Tie So rate was adopted to
give all an opportunity to be treated under
Doctor Mccoy. 1t was extended to dispel
the misunderstanding which the time limit
caused: TO MAKE 1T QUITE CLEAR
THAT DOCTOR McCOY'S OFFICES AND
DOCTOR McCOY'S PRACTICE WORK
AXE PERMANENT IN WASHINGTON,
NOT AS soMEsUPPosED, LIMITED BY
THE TIME FOR WHICH HE MADE THIS
REMARKABLE OFFER. 1t was ex-
tended because many were unable to
take advantage of 1t during the time
limit set
Such an opportunity has never been
given before. Such an opportunity will
never be given again, so, in presenting
it, Doctor Mccoy may be paFdoned for
desiring to make the final time limit
very emphatic. He does not want to hear
who pay his regular fee on the ground
that he is partial or unjust, SO he has made
this notice of the expiration OF the So
period Just as prominent, just as clear, aud
Just as emphatic as he has been able to
make it. 1t VIII be justly presumed that
by the close of the month there will be
none who have not been informed and
notified that:
All patients beginning or renew
ing treatment before January 1 will
be treated until cured at the uni
form rate of So a month. This in
cludes all medicines and treatment.
This is absolutely the final OppOr-
tunity under this rate. 1t will under
no circumstances be again extended
or continued. After January 1 Doc
tor Mccoy will resume his usual
fees.

AMONG THE BOXERS.

Sammy Kelly, who returned from Eng
land few days ago, viii in all probability
be matched to fight Jimmy Barry, Of
Chicago.
Arthur Cailan. who was recently defeated
by the 'PcSaninny,' has been matched 10
box Arthur welkinson before a London
athletic club.
Plans for the rcen- -NceGham contest have
been abandoned by the National Club of
San Francisco. 1t is not likely that box
ing Will recover its lost popularity in that
city for a long time.
Kid Mccoy, who has recovered from the
fever he contracted in Johannesburg, is to
fight Bill Doherty, OF Australia, for twenty
rounds at Johannesburg tonight, for So 900
a side and the division of the gate receipts.
Australian Billy Mccarthy was matched
to box Frank Purcell at the next entertain
ment of the Tuxedo Club, on December 81 ,
but owing to his defeat Nick Burley, the
California heavyweight, has been engaged
to take McCarthy's place.
Now that Cans and Ward have returned
TO Baltimore champions, they will fly at
higher game. Cans is ready to make d
match with Erne or Dixon, or any of the
topnotchers at his weight. Ward is on the
lookout for Sammy Kelley, Jimmy Barry
or Mike Sears, and will make a match
with either of these lads at 115 pounds.
The twenty-round fight between Charley
Mckeever, of this city, and George Lavigne
will be decided at Long Island City tonight.
McKeever weighed 1876 pounds stripped at
about 4:3O O'Clock yesterday afternoon.
McKeever says he never felt better in his
life, and expects to give good account OF
himself. Latest reports indicate that there
will be no trouble. The men fight at 1IO
pounds.
Sam Fitzpatrick writes from Oceanic as
follows: Il see that 1t is re',orted that
the winner of the McPartland-Ziegler con-
test is anxious to meet Lavigne at 1913
pounds. The kid" will fight either OF
them at that weight, win or lose with
McKeever on Wednesday night. George
is feeling first-class, and thinks he will win
again. or course, he expects hard fight,
as McKcever has allthe advantage in reach
and weight"
Jack Daily, of Wilmington, and Frank
O'Neil, of Chicago, fought a draw on Mon
day night at the Broadway Athletic Club,
New York. The men started in like pile
drivers, and the pace they set promised an
early decision. Daly's poses and dancing
furnished considerable amusement. Among
his most effective blows was a sweeping
chop from elbow to glove, which he brought
down like an executioner's ak on O'Neil's
head and face. 1t showed its effects as
the battle went on, o'Neil's forehead and
nose being badly damaged. The Windy
Cityite held his own up TO the ninth, when
Daily set sail and soon had his opponent in
trouble. Another round would probably
have resulted in a Knockout, but O'Neil's
'arly showing won for him a draw, which
decision earned a number of dissenting
comments.

thriving grocery business at his home in
Taylorsville, KY, and will hereafter give
his undivided attention to that.

Glenalvin announces that he is after another
National Lacquer.
Vice President Dehler, of the Louisville
club, has received a letter regarding the
drafting OF Catcher Schriver, of Minneapolis,
and, from the tone OF the letter, Mr. Dehler
fears that the Colonels will lose the ser
vices of this valuable man. 1t seems that
Cincinnati has first claim on him, although
1t will not be definitely decided until after
tie circumstances have been Investigated.

pened upon some staggering facts regard

thatth ere are today no less than II ,0Oo, 900
bicycles in actual use throughout the world.
This does not include the many millions
more in storage here, there, and every
where. both new wheels and the obsolete
ones 1t represents cycles in more or less
actual daily service Of wheelmen and
women. Now, on "A day like election day,
for instance, and corresponding fete day
ON the other side of the water, at least
threc-quarters Of these cyclcrs take little
spin, say century run, but the average
much less than ten miles. Think what this
vast aggregation means! Four of these
wheelInen and women abreast, TWO pair
to the city block, in line, this vast cycle
battalion would reach clean around the
earth. Two abreast and only one block
apart, this same brigade would reach from
the earth to the moon.
Now for the wheel. If all these wheels
were one huge wheel, the front fork, say, in
New York, the rear wheel would touch the
earth somewhere on the other side OF Chi
cago. II you can conceive of man who
would lie big enough to ride such wheel,
be would be just six hundred times the
height of Trinity Church steeple in New
York, and would weigh something around
seven hundred thousand tons!
If this pedalng gentleman undertook
little spin all by himself on fine day, he
could scorch to the sun, ninety-five millions
OF miles away, in the morning, and home
again in the afternoon of single day!

The business of professional bicycle racing
is in some respects as complicated as the
business of professional pugilism, consider
ing tine heavywcights only. 1t is very hard
To find the champion, and all the would-be
champions guard their interests so carefully
that they refrain from making matches or
doing anything to clear away the clouds Of
uncertainty. In fact, they act as if they
believed 1t good business to keep every one
In Doubt, and they make their lack of cour-
age serve a purpose in making money for
them. OF course, this is not sport. An en-
thusiast says:
Everyone would like to see series of
races between Cooper and Bald. Consider
ing that they finished the season on equal
terms in the matter of winnings, a series
OF races between them Is the only thing
that can settle the question Of their rela-
1--we merits to the satisfaction of the public
They seem to have a legitimate righttorace
for the title. Itis all nonsense for thinner
man, johnson or Sanger to talk about hav-
ing a claim TO the title. Zimmerman has
been out of the business so long that it is
doubtful il he is first class. He has to prove
1t toncemore. The only way to getthis cham
pionsbip settled is to do as Bald and Cooper
propose to oo-raCe Ior III. IL there is any
dispute at all as to whether or not the
winner is the best mile rider in the coun-
try, let one or more of the aspiring cham
pions challenge the winner and make
matches. BY doing this right along there
will never be any dispute as to the cham
pionship OF the country. Certainly the title
can be held and won just as clearly and
with as little complication as the title OF
champion is held and won in any other
branch OF sport"
