CYCLE PATH TO MINNEAPOLIS.
Meeting to Consider Such Il Move
Called for Tuesday.

A meeting will be held at the Hotel
Ryan, in st. Paul, on Tuesday even
ing next, that promises to be important
in its results. 1t will be attended by
an equal number of delegates from the
cycle clubs of Minneapolis and ST.
Paul, and the object is to bring about
the immediate construction Of bicycle
path between the two cities. Esti-
mates have been secured on the con-
struction of protected cinder path,
and it is shown that the work can be
done for surprisingly little money when
it is considered that the cost can be
divided between over 10000 riders. Ev-
cry important cycle club in Minneap-
oils will send delegates to the meeting,
and the plans TO raise money for cycle
paths by popular subscription is talk
ing well with riders both here and i'll

a. M. Peabody, of this city, and A.
B. Ovitt, of Minneapolis, are two Of
the principal promoters of the scheme
These gentlemen are of the opinion
that a popular subscription of 50 all
around, if well responded to- would
furnish enough money to put all the
paths in the vicinity of the two towns
at least in fair condition, and if this
plan is successful it is only matter
of time until bicycle paths for much
longer distances will be constructed. as
for instance to Mortified, ST Cloud

A Big LEAD IN FIRST HALF
LOCAL QUARTE1TE PLAYED MORE
LOOSELY IN THE LAST
HALF.
THE VICTORY A GREAT ONE,
AS the Team Sent Here by Chicago
Was Probably the Best in
That City.

Word was received Friday that the
Chicago team would arrive IN st. Paul
Saturday morning to play challenge
match for=the American Whist hague
trophy. Messrs William Wallar, w
]. Walker, j. H. Baldwin and r. L..
Parsons were chosen by the Chicago
club to represent it in the match, and
they came prepared to wrest the cham
.pionship from the st. Paul club, whose
team was the same as that which
won the trophy at st. Louis Messrs
George L. Bum, John H. Briggs, w.
S. Bronson Jr. AMI Charles w. Cor
don. The Chicago team was the pick
of the whist players of that city, prob
ably the strongest four that Chicago
has ever sent out to battle for league
trophy. Chicago won the Hamilton
trophy in 1894 and again in 1895 at
Minneapolis, and the men who played
against st. Paul yesterday were the
pick Of the two teams that represent
ed Chicago at Philadt lphia and at
Minneapolis.
In spite of all this, ST. Paul won the
match by net score of Il points, as
shown in the detailed schedule below.
This is most creditable victory, as
there is no question among whist
players that Chicago can furnish as
strong team as any city in the
country, and, as we have said before,
the team that played for Chicago yes
terday was as strong as any that could
be selected from that club AS at st.
Louis, st. Paul won the game in the
first half, being IA tricks ahead at the
end OF the first twenty-four deals In
the second half, st. Paul started out
with heavy gain that practically
made the winning of the match a Ger
tainty After that the players felt
justified in playing more loosely. The
strain in such match is very great.
and 1T is a great relief to know that
1t is not necessary to play close whist
in order to win. This will in a meas
ure account for st. Pauls drop in the
second half of the match, although
it is only fair to say that the Chicago
men played very strong game in the
afternoon. On the first twenty-four
deals, played in the forenoon. St. Paul
gained 70 tricks on thirteen deals. and
Chicago 8 tricks on four deals. On the.
second twenty-four deals, played in the
afternoon, st. Poul gained II tricks on
eight deals, and Chicago gained 13
tricks on six deals. The following
schedule shows in detail the gains and
losses on each deal:
