The memb bers OF the National Cycle
Board OF Trade throughout the country,
as we'll as all others connected with the
bicycle industry, will be gratified at the
stand taken by President II. Lindsay
Coleman In regard TO the Eastern Ma
tionai Show. As has just been announced
the ex xhioit will be made In Grand Central
Palace In New York city in February of
next year. Both Philadelphia and Bos-
ton were considered by Mr.. Coleman, be-
mp the proba BILE benefits to the public
conclusion that the Metropolis Is the only
The annual show mas proved TO be. Since
announcing his decision In the matter
Mr.. Coleman has received many letters
and kilograms complimenting him on
the stand taken. The manufacturers
especially are pleased because OF their
escape from the clutches OF the Madison
Square Garden management, which has
heretofore charged the exhibition for
every nail driven in the building. Any
fear that the Grand Central Palace Is not
large enough for the show may be dis
PEELED. for IL offers over 100, coo square
feet OF space-more than dou BILE the space
ever occupied before for any cycle show.
The outlook for the next show, accord
ing TO MIR. Coleman, who Is In the best
position to judge, is particularly promis-
Ing. He feels tanguine that there Will be
more exhibitors in line than at any pre-
vious show In this country or in Europe.
and that the number of visitors for the
week Will not fall short OF zoo, 600.

THE PARIS EXPOSITION.
Typica,ly ParisIan Method In Which 4,
Will he Financed.

The successful financing Of the Paris ex-
hibltion OF 1900 is assured and in man
ner typically Parlsian. Bonds of 90 francs
each amounting 10 65, 900, 900 francs will
be issued next week, and applications In
tho past three or four days make IL clear
that these will be fully subscribed. These
bonds bear no interest and the principal
will never be paid unless the holder Is lucky
enough draw a prize In enc of the 20
lottery drawings TO which they entitle him.
Nominally the holder will get his money
back In the shape Of 90 admission tickets
TO the exhibition. In other words, SO, 000,-
900 admis ..on tickets have thus been sold
four years In advance. This means that
practically no money will be taken at the
turnstiles OF the exhibition. Not only that,
but many millions OF tickets will probably
never be used, for n total of 65, 900, 900 in
six months Is on the basis Of an attendance
OF $780, 900 daily. There was only 2s000,-
600 attendance at the Pea exhibition in
1889, and during the LyS weeks tickets
were openly sold freely on the street at 8
cents each. 1t is obvious that nobody will
pay franc at the turnstiles under such
circumstances.
1t is the lottery feature OF the bonds
which attracts thopuhlic. The prizes range
from 800, 900 down to 100 francs The re-
sources of tho managers of the exhibition
at tho outset, including local and national
subsidies, amount 10 100000, 600 francs

CYCLERS AND CYCLING.
What Is Going On in the Wheel
mans Busy World.
The Hour Record OF Tom Linton
Miss Rombach's Mileage.

And still tho wheel rolls on far in the van
OF all the other sports, and there is so much
10 be said Of it that the chronicler scarcely
knows how TO begin or where 10 leave of.
Among the racing enthusiasts the bright,
particular topic of talk is Tom Cooper, his
recent successes and his prospects In the
contest for the championship.
Cooper, who halls from Detroit, shot
across the cycling armament during the
latter part of last season in the most meteor
like fashion. He was the surprise of 1925.
At the beginning of the season he was prac-
tically an unknown quantity and 1t was
not until the big meet ut Chicago that he
showed Of what stuff he was made. He
met the redoubtable Bald, then In his sixth
season of success, and gavo that worthy
such a grueling fight that the cycling
sharps declared he was worth watching.
He was, as Mr.. Bald found TO his cost. 1t
was nip and tuck from the Chicago meet
On between the champion and the Detroit
boy, with now one and then the other on
top Bald finally won ont for tho seasons
premier honors, but by a very narrow mar
gin.
Cooper has done his training, for this
seasons campaign at Fountain Ferry and
Chester park tracks. He has already won
nearly dozen open events, besides making
a world s record of minute 20 seconds for
the two-thirds Of mile In competition.
Ho is a little, thin fellow, all steel wire,
and rides with dash and confidence born
In great part of his continued success. The
battle between Bald and Cooper for the
championship will be one Of the features OF
the professional racing season.

THE LAST GAME.

The last of the Brown University OF
Chicago series of games will be PLAYED to-
day. Mellor will officiate in the box for
Brown, while Nichols, the star pitcher
OF the Westerners who held the boys
down to two hits in the first game will
pitch for Chicago. Should Summersgill
leave Chicago before the game Sedgewick
will play in centerfield. At present each
university has won game, and IN this
final test there is no denying that Brown
will be somewhat handicapped in having
her inexperienced freshman pitcher op-
posed by the willy Nichols, but the hope
Of the Brown men lies In the fact that
their strong batting may Offset this disad-
vantage.

HARTM ANS OVATION.

ovation ever accorded citizen of Mon

man, the Montana delegate, who walked
out Of the ST. Louis convention. and who
arrived in Butte yesterday. He was met
at the depot by thousands of people and
brass bands, and after he entered carri-
age the horses were unhtched and a long
rope attached to the vehicle. Several hun
dred enthusiastic silver men from all po-
litical parties pulled the carriage a mile
up the hill. to the city. The city went
wild. Buildings were gaily decorated and
brass bands and people paraded the streets
all day. Last evening Mr.. Hartman ad-
dressed 5000 people and explained In de-
tail the st. Louis bolt. and said he had
turned his back upon the national Repub-
lican organization until it again repre-
scented the people. He favored Teller for
the Democratic nomination and said that
with Teller at the head of the silver party,
Republicans would support the Demo-
cratic ticket. He believes the country
will go Overwhelmingly for silver.

THE REPUBLICAN GOLD PLANK.

The Republican party Is unreservedly
for sound money. It caused the enact
ment Of the law providing for the re-
sumption of specie payment in 1879 since
then every dollar has been as good as
geld. We are unalterably opposed to ev-
cry measure calculated 70 debase our cur
rency or impair the credit of our country
We are therefore opposed to the free
coinage of silver, except by International
agreement with the leading commercial
nations Of the world, which we pledge
ourselves to promote, and dnttl such
agreement can be obtained the existing
god standard must be preserved. All
our silver and paper money must be
maintained at parity with gold, and we
favor all measures designed to maintain
inviolably the obligations of the United
States and all our money, whether coin
or paper, at the present standard, the
standard of the most enlightened nations
of the earth.-Written by H. H. Kohlsat.

A POINT WELL PUT.

Editor Representative: Taylor, the de-
faulting treasurer of South Dakota, stole
in the neighborhood of a quarter OF a
million of dollars, and was punished by
Imprisonment for two years. Marsh
Batten," of Fulda, Mimi, stole pair OF
shoes. valued at $175 and received a two
years sentence. Had Marsh Batten re-
oeived a sentence in the same proportion
to his stealing as did Taylor, he would
have been given one minute and fifty sec
onds in iai,. On the contrary, had Taylor
been punished on the score applied to
Batten. he would have received sentence
lasting 1851 years. What the cause is
for this extraordinary difference in Min
nesota and Dakota Jurisprudence 1t is diff
ficult to say. But it is evident that the
Goddess of Justice is, in one case or the
other, not only blind, but deaf dumb and
crazy. -CrooKSton.
