Novel Games Suggested for Expert
Riders.
When the days grow long and too
warm for such violent exercise as a
paper chase a suggestion Ii to combine
garden parties and bicycling In some
such manner as a bicycle gymkhana. A
gymkhana Is nos, as some have imag-
ined. an Indian form of vehicle. a spe-
cies of jinricksha. 1t Is merely a COM
bination of races and athletic sports.
Some Of these competitions can be
easily adapted for bicycles The bes,
course should be a fiat drive in a park.
1t need not be long. 1t Is skill in trick
riding, and not speed, which should be
the object. A card" could be made uI
somewhat as follows:
Tilting at the ring. a potato and spoon
race for women, women to dismount al
certain place. pick up a potato In a
spoon, and bring II in without drop
ping it. A leading" race for women
riding one bicycle and leading another
Ditto, but a longer course. for men,
Partner race-women and men riding
hand in hand. A walking and wheel
ing race for women and for men. A
side saddle race for men. A race with
out holding the handles. A card-mail-
ing race for women; cards dropped into
boxes with Sits, stuck on posts at in

HARVARD VS.. u. p.

Of Football Cand didatcs.

Philadelphia. April est was an
nounced this afternoon by John G. Bull,
chairman of the foot ball committee
of the University of Pennsylvania
Athletic association that Harvard and
Pennsylvania had mutually agreed to
leave the decision as to the eligibility
Of the candidates for their respective
foot ball teams to Caspar Whitney.
The question at stake is what college
of school teams a man may play on be-
fore entering Harvard or Pennsylva-
mia without being debarred from play
ing four years at these latter institu-
tions. The really important issue at
stake refers to the eligibility for POSI-
tions on the Pennsylvania team of two
of the ablest players that ever wore
the red and blue-Captain and Quar-
terback Carl Williams and Fullback
GeOre II. Brooke.
Before entering Pennsylvania, VIII
Jams played foot ball for two years ut
Oberlin, In Ohio. and Brooke had for
similar period been the fullback on
the Swarthmore team. Under the
Harvard eligibility rules, this would
debar both from further. participation

lie Hos Great Drawing Curd In the
Siovin- Maher Match.
If Peter Maher's manager. John ].
Quinn, would give the Irish boxer a
cha nee to get himself in good condition
before matching him to fight it would
be good thing for Peter, says New
York writer. At the present time his
eyes are in bad shape. An operation
| was performed upon one of them, the
| left, only few days ago. and from all
| accounts was only partially successful.
In good condition Maher would cer-
| talnly be a dangerous man for even the
sturdy, hard-hitting Paddy Slavin to
tackle. but unless his eyes are restored
to their normal condition it is more
than likely that repetition of the re-
cent affair in Mexico will occur next
| month at Tom O'ROurke's Long Island
City club house. Maher and Slavin will
certainly draw q big house. Maher al
ways had and perhaps always will have
a great following, in spite of the de-
feats already scored against him. If
he happens to win few battles his
friends will be greatly pleased. but an
other whipping cannot be excused by
the worn out, poor condition" story.
Maher should have a chance to get we'll
before he fights again. 1t was his own
mons. His manager was only to blame
in part.
1t Is announced that Slavin will sail
for this country within week. Char
ley Mitchell may come over with the
Australian, unless they have another
quarrel in the near future which is not
very likely. This is the best match,

lARGEST DAILY CITY CIRCULATION,
4 COUNTY FAIR.

A number of our eaterprising cit
 izens are agitating the question of
 organizing joint stock company
 for the purpose of holding County
 Fair at Wiley Jones Park in this
 city this coming fall, The promo.
 ters of the enterprise will hold Q
 meeting sometime during this week
 or next, after which canvass of the
 city will be made for subscribers to
 stock. Wiley Jones, with creditable
 enterprise and generosity, has ten dered the use of his park, with the grand stand and all the buildings and stables thereon, free of charge for the purposes mentioned, which would obviate any great expense in connection with the proposed enter
 prise. Itis estimated by those who have investigated the subject, that in View of this tender of Wiley Jones that first-class fair could be held Tn this city this fall at an eX- pense of not more than $l ,500 or s2.000. This money could be easily raised by the organization of stock company. There is not a merchant or business man in Pine Bluff who does not recognize the importance and benefit of such an enterprise, and there is not one who would not sub scribe for $50, $100, $200 or $500 worth of stock. The Atlanta Expo sition has recently furnished and ob- ject lesson of the value of such en- terprises to city. The Exposi- tion, which closed on the 31st ut. in volved a joss of less than 10 per cent to the holders of stock in the Expo sition Company while it has been ,onservatively estimated that the benAfits to Atlanta, in money expended by exposition wis
